MAYORS in second-class cities was amend

amendment wass tackled on which pro-
yides for an Alderman-at-Large for hrst
class cities without any reference to pop
ulation. This lets in Hoboken and Bay

reading.
The House Committee on Judiciary
killed Mr.. Abbett's bill providing that a
husband shall not administer the estate
of his wife when they rave lived apart
twenty-five years, with an adverse re-
port. Mr.. Benny had recalled from the
Senate his bill providing for the appoint
ment of a commission to consider the ad-
visibility of consolidating eastern Hud-
son county into one city. There is sui
some defect in the measure and it needs
more tinkering. Mr.. Murray's bill, when
repeats the act of 1898, which gives certain
trolley roads more time to complete their
lines, came up on second reading and Mr..
Carroll s~trenuously endeavored to have
it laid over until he could look further
into it, but was unsuccessful. AS next

The matter of the proposed State super
vision of building and loan associations
of New Jersey was thoroughly aired be-
fore the House Committee on Banks and
| Insurance yesterday at noon when a
hearing was held in n Of the commit
of that class of building and loan .asso-
Citations known as locals appeared and
, the national" associations were not rep
resented as a result the remarks were
practically of the same tenor. It was
generally agreed that there should be q
law giving the State a supervision OF all
building and loan associations Guen
troduced by Mr.. Bell.
The principal objection of the building
and loan men to the bills already present
J ed was that the cost of the examination
[ should not be born by the associations
but that the State should pay all these
bills. 1t was commended that after the
first examinations the cost will be com.
paratively small. Those who appearee
before the committee were Elwoood G
Harris, George I'll. Forman, Moses J
Dewitt Charles Fl. Duncan of New
ark; John p. Landrine of Jersey City, and
J. Horace Robertson Of. Bayonne. The
League of Building and Loan Associations
will hold a convention on the 18th of this
month, at which g bill will be drafted ant
presented to the Legislature as q substi-
tute for those already introduced.

THE MULCT SALOON.

nine counties of Iowa have saloons uG
der the mulct law, while the other
fifty-one counties are under the pro-
hibitory statutes. This report is instruc-
tive in showing the growth of the mulct,
system, which has for its basis the
voice of the people. From statewide

strict prohibtory law, there has been q
change, a gradual loosening, based
upon close study and experience. 1t
was found that statutes alone would
not kill the liquor traffic while bars

long period of Bookkeeping or secret
sales, with all the evils it entails, led
the people, or the majority of them, in
many communities to believe that the
prohibitory law was farccal as bar
against the drinking of liquor. There
was also a class that did not believe
in sumptuary laws of any Kind, not
without influence. The reaction that
followed led to the enactment of a
mulct law, which was primarily intend
ed to be a fine for existence, bat the
clause in it shielding the saloonkeeper
from prosecution under certain condi-
tions really makes it a license. 1t has
increased the number of open saloons
until it has spread over half the state
and is now yielding the various loeaii-
ties more than million dollars Of reve

The same objection also applies to the
proposition to grant bounties on ex-
ports in American vessels The propo-
sition to grant American registry to

The big drainage canal constructed
by the people of Chicago at an outlay OF
$50, 600, 900 to dispose of the sewage OF
this city may become in time the key
to the complete commercial supremacy
of the world by the great Mississippi
valley. What was once considered an
engineers dream" when the drainage
canal was first projected, is now in
viting the serious attention of congress,
and it's practicability has been so
generally conceded that the CONNER
cial interests of the west and middle
west are gradually getting together in
support of demand for the linking of
Lake Michigan and the Gulf of Mexico
by the federal government.
Strong impetus to the movement to
make the drainage canal part of a
control Of the federal government, was
given by the convention of Western.
Waterways Association at Memphis,
Tenn, on Wednesday. resolution
was unanimously adopted there by
the 600 delegates, representing sixteen
states, recommending that congress
seriously consider the project for pro-
viding "a navigable waterway between
Lake michigan AT SAlCd6o anu eAS
Mississippi river"
With waterway large enough and
deep enough to carry the heaviest lake
boats from Chicago through the drain
age channel at Lockport, thence
through the Desplaines river, thence
through the Illinois river into the Mis-
sissippi at Alton. there is little doubt
that the sections in the Mississippi wat
ershed would rule the world in the
trade of food products and manufac-
lures.
Chicago's contribution to this great
project is the greatest piece of engin-
eering in the history of this country,
costing the people of Chicago sS5,o0o,O0C
and extending from Chicago to Lock-
port. This canal has greater cross-sec-
ton dimensions than any of the worlds
great ship ways. Where 1t cuts through
the rock it is 46O feet wide and in the
earth sections 1t slopes from ITO to 200
feet at the bottom to from 200 to 300
feet at the top-a channel sufficient to
float the commerce OF the vast empire
of the west.

who had not attended church in the
evening for years, promptly on time to
get a good seat. And whether they
liked it or not they had to listen to the
10 minute sermon. Unavoidable en-

taking personal charge of these Sunday

words suggest to others the good that
can be accomplished in this way, this
screed is not in vain. With Mayor
