TIE NEW-JERSET LEGLHLATERE

Inc NeW-Jersey Legislature organized yester
day by electing Mahlon Pitney President of
the Senate and William j. Bradley Sneaker of
the House Of Assembly Governor Voorhees, IN
MS message to the Legislature referred r. the
ulherehce IN the conditions now and at the
opening of the nineteenth century.
Now he said two of orr cities CNerrorL
ana Jersey City, each outnumbers in nonuIa =
non that Of the entire State at that time q"
In lSol there were fifty-two laws passed Since
'heh many big tones have been filled as tbe
result or laWmaking industry, and there is not
huch hKellhood of let up so long as the Lepis-
l"'ure continues to meet annually. One hun
urea years ago $4,000 paid the States annual
eApenSeS' this year it will probably exceed
$2'3oO,OO0. Governor Voorhees, sketched briefly
Tue purposes Tor which the revenues of to-day
are used-schools. insane asylums reforma-
tories. prisons, soldiers homes and roads
Like his predecessor. Governor Griggs Mr.
voorhees, deprecates the making of unnecassarv
statutes. He does not see any pressing need
for legislation beyond what will be reouired to
provide for the ordinary affairs of the State"
ana IN this there is. he thinks reason for con-
graduation. He says that "a people prosper-
"ous and satisfied with things as they are does
NOT ask for many laws. Preceding IegisIat-
ures seem to have established nearly If not
qulte all OF the reforms and changes for
which there has been any urgent demand"
In other words, the Governor indicates that
there does not appear to be much reason for
the Legislature meeting at all this year were
1t not constitutional requirement. From this
1t may be inferred in some quarters that the
Governor has changed his mind about biennial
sessions; rs State Senator he defeated a con-
stitutional amendment providing for sessions
every two years The message Is throughout
admirable in tone and temper and absolutely
non-partisan in character.
At present it does not appear that the Legis-
lature will be called upon to face or settle anv
delicate problems. though it has happened more
than once that sessions promising 10 he color
less have been marked by stirring conflicts
The most important business now in sight is the
election Of a United States Senator 10 succeed
General William J. Sewell. General SewelI will
succeed himself. Two weeks hence the Lecis-
lature Will meet and so decree. The General is
now completing his second term in tho National
legislature. On the other occasion he had
more or less opposition this time the office
comes TO him by the unanimous vote Of the Re
publican Senators and Assemblymen. and with
out much a hostile whisper from the
ranks OF his own party.

Nixon's investigation is the acknowledgment
that vice and crime have fiourished because
they have been protected securely protected,
amply protected. protected down to this very
hour in which Mr. Nixon says that the author
ity and power Of Tammany are not behind the
protection. And whatever may be charitably
thought of Mr. Croker's explorers this whole
community instantly rejects with utter con-
tempt the hypothesis that the managers of
Tammany, who issue and enforce its DEGREES,
are or ever have been ignorant of the existence
and operations of conspiracy which could not
make itself effective for single moment except
by using the name and welding the terrors of
Tammany.
MFR. Nixon intimates that men high in the
councils of Tammany," whose proceedings.
nevertheless. the organization does not sustain
and has no cognizance of. may be punished.
lt is possible that sacrifices will thus he offered
