MoDermott's Freeholder Bill.

The LEGISLATURE will begin the second
week of the session this evening. Little,
Il any, work will be done this week. No
doubt a large numbe of bills will be in
troduced and they VIII be referred to the
various committees, which, however, will
not report any of them before next week.
Tomorrow the inauguration of Governor
VOORHEES, will occupy the attention Of
bofh Houses, and nothing in the legisla-
tive line will be done. Whether there
win be a session ON Wednesday is doubt
full, for should one be held there will be
no business in shape for transaction.
! Among the bills, which are expected to
come in this evening. is Mr.. McDermott's
measure changing the mode Of govern
ing counties of the frst-elass. It pro-
vides that in such counties there shall
be a Freebooter Commission to be elect
ed and to consist of seven members. who
shan exercise all the powers now devolv-
Ing upon the Boards Of Freeholders Of
those counties. In order to insure a mi
norfty representation, the act provides
that no eleetor shall vote for more than
four OF the commissioners. The salary Of
the commissioners is to be $500 per an
nun the same as the F~reeholders receive
now.

A OF NEW YORK,
Executive Chamber,

Executive Chamber,
ALBANY, N. Y. January 8, 1899.
General Nelson A. Miles. War De-
partment, Washington, D. c.
My Heal General Miles-I do not dis
tinctly understand about this beef
controversy, but possibly what I ave
to write may be of some use. h
canned corned beef we found to be
good. The so-called canned roast beef
that was issued to us for travel ra-
lions, both on the transport and on
the train, and which we occasionally
got even at the front. was practically
worthless. Unless very hungry, the
men would not touch it. and even
when suffering from lack of food, they
never ate a fifth of it. Al the best it
was tasteless; at the worst it was
nauseating-
There was also a supply of beef Tin
the shape of quarters) which was put
aboard our transport at Tampa. 1t
was supposed to be fitted by some pro-
cess to withstand tropical. heat. 1t at
once became putrid, and smelled so
that we had to dispose of it for fear
of its creating disease. I think we
threw it overheard. AT any rate, it
was condemned.
The beef we got in Santiago after
about July "A or 25-that is, after the
siege had ended, and when my bril-
gade had been without fresh meat or
vegetables for a month-was general
ly good. BY that time the cavalry di-
vision was in a sickly condition. The
fact thai the meat ration was 50 bad
as generally to be inedible caused
very great hardship to my men n
reduced its supply of food below
what was necessary to keep them in
proper condition.
Very sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

THE propensity Of the Elizabeth Jour
mar to so wrong is causing its friends
some anxiety, although the fact that this
propensity only asserts itself when the
Journal wishes to make a point against
the Democrats has led unbiased men to
think there is a method, however vile it
may be, in the Journals" madness.
The last offense in this line will no
doubt be %pardoned by Mr.. Timothy j.
Carroll, because the error is made to pay
him a compliment. This is what it says
Teddy Carroll, of Hudson, has
been selected as the leader of the mi
nority in the State Assembly. Not
-withstanding the fact that Teddy was
the associate of Tom Flynn and Billy
Thompson in the wicked days, he is
about the ablest, cleverest and fairest
of the Assembly minority.
Now the truth of the matter is that
James ]. Murphy, and not Mr.. Carroll,
was made leader of the Democratic side
of the House. But what dc facts matter
