The Fish and Game laws are the
enigmatical problems of the Legisla-
ture. The commission introduces bills,
every fifth member introduces bills
and quite few blow through the win
dow. More men have gone crazy try
legislation of recent years, than have
needed straight jackets from using
wood pulp cigarettes. When the smoke
of the red hot last hours, blows away,
a codification of the fish and game
laws will be attempted and printed,
but until then this particular sin of
omission must be overlooked by all
the "old subscribers -
PITNEY'S BUSINESS.
Senator Pitney introduced the first
bill in the Senate and he introduced
the last. His position of leader
brought considerable grist to his mill
The Senator, like many of his pre-
decessors, has discovered that legisla-
tive tradition follows a scriptural
trend so much that the first is likely
to be last as this was the case of No.
lit was bill in reference to banks
and insurance. 1t was reported by a
substitute way down the list and
passed on Thursday
The Morriskown Excise Commission
Bill was No. 2. Somebody put hoo
doc on that bill 1t is practically al
ready on the statutes abut neither
persuasion nor hypnotism could get
that bill further than its preliminary
sleep. When the mildew of supersti-
ton settles on bill, the fates have
their fiendish carnival, as so it was
with Senate, No @ His bill for the
repeal of the much disputed super

be signed by the Governor.

, early and the Senate Chamber was
{ never heated warm enough to remove
, this chill.
He had better luck with his general
game bill. All sportsmen are good
takers, and after full season OF
sporty talk, the bill reached the
! House on Wednesday and was passed.
The rest of Senator Pitneys bills
were of the technical character He
! had one group that came from the
Qualification Commission ON Revision
and he had trio of corporation bills
{ from the Attorney Generals Office.

4; GARRISON AN ORATOR.
Assemblyman Garrison goes back tc
his quiet sanctum in Boonton with q
record to follow him. A man of quiet
demeanor, who never grew restless
under pressure of business. Whatever
he had to do he did we'll. He made
at least five maiden speeches, which
for apprentice talks, were to the point
in respect of rhetoric and oratory.
When he gets to be full-fedged two
termer, he will be an orator of the first
water. He always commanded atten-
tion and he spoke briefly. but hit the
bulls eye every time. For good seven
minute speechmaker, he beat the
record of the session.
Last week he talked very pertinently
on the subject of the bill to put on
ferry boats screens for the protection
of horses The Railroad and Canal
Committee has reported the bill adj
versely. The Democrats of Hudson
were up in the air fighting all kinds
of wind mills. The House was really
in hub-bub, novice might say a
riot, but Mr.. Garrison arose and
gave his reason why a committee S
report should be respected, because
committees were created for distinct
purpose of usefulness.
He also made a good talk on the
! ACObO bAAA WAiiSi fSANOo 1CS bA0 IlEHl
to say whether a man must hang or
die jail. He argued we'll for his
bill, Assembly, No 20, which pro-
: vides that no attorney or counsellor
, shall prosecute or defend any action
in any Justices Court, where the
Justice is the father, brother or
brother in-law, of such attorney or
counsellor.
This bill was subsequently with
drawn on advice of the Governor 1t
did not meet his approval and was
OF course, in danger of being vetoed.
The Governor expressed the opinion
that the bill to meet his approval
should have been drawn so as to in
clude practice by lawyers before any
court, the judges Of which may be
related to them.
He was nominally proxy in the
introduction of the bill fixing salary
of fifty dollars for each of the exam
iners of candidates for counsellors and
attorneys. This bill has merit. There
was some opposition in the committee
and it was reported without any re-
commentator. His bill which pro-
vides for the service of declarations
upon corporations as well as upon
individuals under the practice act is
of course, a trifie technical, but the
lawyers who burn the midnight oil,
know of its Importance IT was re-
ported, but still pending when this
