LEGISLATIVE LEADERS.
MEN At FRONT IN STU TIE.
Senator Raines to Lead Republicans
-Niron Likely To Be Speaker.

Albany Jan (Special).-The legislature of
1903 which will assemble in the Capitol on
Wednesday, January Z, Will have large proper
tim of veteran members, but there has been a
decided change in the relative strength of the
two great parties in both the Senate and the
Assembly.
Thirty-seven Of the State Senators out of the
fifty have had previous legislative experience
either as Senators as Asseinblymen. In the
Assembly ninety-four of the one hundred ana
nftv have previously been there It is obvious
from the numb of veterans that the legislative
habit once acquired, is hard to lose Several
AssembIyrnen have returned after long absences
one was here as long ago as 1861.
The Republican majority in the State Senate
has shrunk from the twenty il had the last two
years TO only six for the coming year; and the
Republican leaders will have only two more
votes than sufficient to pass legislative measures
-twenty-six votes being required, and there be-
ing only twenty-eight Republican Senator'S
There are thus opportunities for combinations
of small numbers OF Republicans with large
numbers OF Democrats that the latter will I'M
doubtedIy seek to make to embarrass the Re-
publican leaders when they WISH TO pass party
legislation.
The Republican party is stronger In the AS
sembly There it has eighty-nine votes at It's
command and seventy-six votes VIII pass
hill It seems therefore, highly probable that
whatever efforts ex-senator Hill and osher
leaders of the Democratic party may make 10
defeat the political bills of the Republican party
will be made in the Senate.
One-half of the State. that on Mammalian
Island and in its vicinity went Democratic IN
1902 The other half, north of the Harlem
River went as decisively Republican Ihis
remarkable characteristic OF the election TINS
year can be seen in the legislature Oh 1870
South of the Harlem River there are only TWO
Republican Senators. Henry Marshall, from
Ksn~s County and Nathaniel L. Eisberg. from
Nsw-York County. The other twenty-sfx Re

publican SYnators represent upstate districts
On the other hand, twenty of the twenty
two Democrats represent solely the metropolitan
district confined in the counties OF New-York,
Kings Queens Richmond, Suffolk. Nassau and
Westchester. The Republican Assembly repre-
sentation from this same part Of the State is
only fifteen; and in that is included the two
votes of the Westchester County Republican
Assemblymen. Elsewhere in the State the Re-
publican party sends to Albany seventy-rour
Assemblymen.
The Republican leader IN the State Senate Is
apparently to be Senator John Raines. the au-
thor of the Raines Liquor Tax law. Mr.. Raines
has had long legislative career He was an
Assemblynan in 1881, 1882 and 1885. mem
her of the List and Lid Congresses. and a
member of the State Senate In 1886. 1887. 1888
1889. and from 1894 until the present time de
has been successful in the construction OF I'M
portant legislative measures. but he has had
little experience thus far in the duties of leader
shin. Mr. Raines, II can be stated, is full OF
craft, and is courageous, and Senator ThoTnas
F. Grady of NewYork. who is to be the Demo-
cratic leader will not find it easy to make points
for the Democratic party with Senator Raines
confronting him Nor 1t be said that the
Democratic party is fortunate in It's selection
of Senator Grady its leader. He is an able
man but somehow his abilities have never been
so used as to bring victories for his party IN
Albany. Some of the other Democratic Sena-
tors nota bly, Senator Townsend, OF Utica; Seha-
tor McCarren. of Kings County, and Senator
McCIelland. of Dobbs Ferry, are far more apt
to bother the Republican leaders Possibly the
most dangerous man, from a Republican polhl
of view on the Democratic side OF the SENATE
Chamber is Senator Patrick H McCarren- ne
understands clearly every feature of legislative
work and thoroughly the character OF the Diiis
which he may choose TO examine "heh Nc

next March. At the recent election he was de-
feated by Mr.. Livernash. the Democrat and
Union Labor candidate. by the narrow plurality
Of al votes. Kahn at the time declared that
there had been fraud in the counting in several
districts, and he took advantage OF the Official
recount Of votes for Superintendent Of Schools
to keep tally his own vote The result was
that he found 1867 Illegal ballots counted for

that he will be successful

BETTER LOBSTER LAWS.
New England States and Canada Find
1t Time to Be Acting.

Boston, Sept. 23.-f'or the purpose of
formulating uniform laws for the pro-
lection of the lobster, fish and game
commissioners representing Rhode Is
land, Massachusetts, Connecticut. New
Hampshire, Maine, Ottawa, Canada,
and Cape Breton, N. S., met at the
State House here, today. A perma-
ncnt OrganiZation was effected with
Captain j. w. Collins, chairman of the
Massachusetts Fish and Game com
mission as president
Captain Collins stated the purposes
of the meeting, referring to the import
ance of the lobster as n food product
and touched on the necessity for i'm
mediate action to preserve the Species,
aging that all that had been done thus
far by legal enactment or otherwise
had prove insufficient to stay the
decadence in the supply.
Following this, reports of work done
by the various commissions for the pro-
lection of the lobster were made by
DR.. Root and Edward w. Kelley, both
of the Rhode Island commission.

MAINE FARMING NOTES.

100 bushels of oats threshed from 2l2

parties in Knox, Morrill, and Appleton.
He now has about forty head of cattle,
mostly grade Herefords.
George w. Brown, of Hartford, is
truly a practical orchardist, as he has
fully 1000 apple trees in young and
thrifty ages varying from 10 to 20
years. These trees are nearly all in
one plat on the hillside and are looked
after very carefully by Mr.. Brown, be-
ing mulched, pruned and fed in very
practical manner. This year they are
just loaded with large and smooth
fruit which will assure a bountiful re-
ward for past labor and care.
1t is estimated that Harrington will
produce this season one half the grain
required for stock in that town from
the time of harvesting until the sowing
season next year. While the average
Of oats and barley is in excess of form
er years the yield exceeds any in the
last decade at least and the quantity
was never better. This mention which
is only one of the many that might be
named, shows the abundance Of the
crop. From three and one-fourth BUSH
els sowing of Franco-German oats, E.
l.. Plummer has thrashed ninety-fve
bushels of this cereal, the crop being
produced on one acre of land. This
producer is the first to introduce in
this section the Franco-German oats,
which were imported into the United
States two years ago, he having pur-
chased the seed of the White Slide
Farm, Monterey, Mich. The special
prize offered to grain growers by the
West Washington Agricultural Society
has stimulated several farmers to COM
pete for the purses. among whom is A.
NJ. Ramsdell. Marshville. who is har-
vesting five acres of barley and the
same average of oats.

following the demonstration of the same
