The New Jersey Judiciary system.

New Jersey has the most elaborate, cum
brous and expensive judiciary system in
the country. Some constitutional amend
ments are to be voted on at a special cleo
tion on September % recasting to some
extent its systems of courts. We should
suppose the change would be in the direc-
tion of greater simplicity, but apparently
there is no such intention.
There are nine kinds of courts in New
Jersey at the present time above the mu-
nicipal or Justices courts. These nine
courts, as we find recorded in the Trenton
True american, are Oyer and Terminer,
Quarter Sessions, Common Pleas, Orphans,
Circuit, Supreme, Prerogative, Chancery
and Errors and Appeals Until recently
Pennsylvania got along very comfortably
with a Supreme Court, Common Pleas,
Orphans, Oyer and Terminer and Quarter
Sessions of the Peace The two last-named
are practically one court for the trial of
criminal cases. A Superior Court was
added several years ago to relieve the Su-
preme Court of some of its work of review.
This makes six courts at the outside, our
Common Pleas Court exercising equity
jurisdiction. 1t is simple, complete and
satisfactory and justifies the New Jersey
complaint that their State has more courts
than are needed.
Mr.. Charles II. Hartshorn, in the Treton
True american, makes a strong Indictment
against the amendments. He claims that
they confirm and aggravate conditions that
make litigation expensive, tedious and un-
certain. He shows that the system is a
survival of barbarous age, that it has been
abandoned in England .and her colonies
and by every State of the Union except
New Jersey, and that by these amend
ments it is proposed to make the system in
New Jersey worse.
They have Court Of Errors and Appeals
in New Jersey, consisting of the Justices OF
the Supreme Court, the Chancellor and six
special Judges, who till recently were lay
men. One amendment proposes to make
the Court of Errors and Appeals consist Of
la chief Judge and four associate Judges and
eliminate the Supreme Judges altogether
make them subordinate, in fact, though
supreme in name. This contradiction in
terms ought not to be eountenanced in q
| judiciary system. There can be nothing
superior to supreme, except where langu-
age is used loosely and inaccurately.
| Constitutional amendments do not as
rule excite very deep popular interests,
but the method fixed for voting ON these
New Jersey amendments is favorable tc
their adoption. 1t is evidently framed
with this design. Those favoring the
amendments merely hand in their ballot
as it is printed and it counts as vote
To vote no one must write the word agains
the amendments he does not favor. Ont
must be able to read, discriminate ant
write to vote against any or all of thest
amendments, but an illiterate mute cal
vote for them without making mark or I
mistake.
These New Jersey judiciary amendments
are in the wrong direction. Her cour
system should be simplifed and litigation
made less expensive. The amendments
promise no relief of this character, bur
rather aggravate the situation and put Of
the day of real judiciary reform in thai
State.

Salem county is endeavoring to build
macadam roads that won't require frequent
repairs, and to that end decided at the
meeting last week to build the road from
Salem to Pennsville, distance of six
miles, of Warren macadam at cost of
$4,000, when it could have been built of
ordinary macadam for 10000. The cost
of keeping the ordinary county roads in
repair will be permanent and heavy tax
on the county, and if the Warren road will
save this, the increased cost of original
construction is undoubtedly a wise one to
incur.

If Editor Albright occupies position SO
near heaven that he is enabled to enter on
his reporters tablet the relative positions
OF those on this practical earth to everlast-
ing bliss, he makes poor use of his oppor-
tunities to lead truthful life when he
denies that in his editorial utterance Of July
he rebuked those who discuss public
questions in the public press. We quote:
References have cen made by some of
the newspaper correspondents to the cost of
caring for the smallpox victims, in the
county pest house. - There is such
thing as finding fault without occasion.''
Mr.. Albright ints at the head of the
Constellation that the BARRIERS, father and
son, were its editors from 1884 to 1900, and
himself now. The people who read that
paper don't need to be told that there has
been change in the Consultation since
1900. 1t is apparent in many ways, and
in none is the change more marked than in
the tone of the editorial utterances.

The last legislature has the banner for
loose legislative management, ignorance
and ineffectiyeness. No less than three
presumably important acts are of no avail
from this fact, and Governor Murphy is
quoted as considering an extra session in
October to correct the mistakes The most
important failure was to make available
5000, 600 appropriated for the tuberculosis
hospital under way up in Hunterdon Co.
Another bungle of the bungling Legisla-
ture has been discovered with the printing
of the book Of laws, and that is that the
revision Of the Practice act, supposed to
have been compiled by justice or two of
the Supreme Court, and lawyer or two,
contains no repeater of existing statutes; so
that the old law and the new have to be
aited over and weighed by every lawyer in
every case involving the method of pro-
cedure
