TRENTON, March 49,, 19o4.-The
legislative session which closed last week
goes into history as one of the most, if
not the most, exn ssive on record.
AS an instance to show just how cost
ly it was for few weeks it was in ses-
sion, and this is not taking into account
the many enterprises and Improvements
from the annual appropriation bill under
item @53:p
For compensation of senators and mem
bers of the general assembly, $40,833. 81.
For compensation of officers and enl-
ployes of the legislature, $30, 0,150.
For stationery for use of the legisla-
tive session, pursuant to chapter 20S of
the laws of 1868, $500.
For manuals of the Legislature of New
Jersey, $1,000.
For indexing the journal of the SEN

sembly, and other Incidental and conting
ent expenses of the legislature, $6,700.
For toilet and other necessary supplies
for the use, of the legislative session, to
be furnished by the state house commits
sion, $780, This item includes only what
is generally called constitutional officers,
whose pay is provided for by constitu-
tion. To get a correct idea of the cost
one must add to this the items for incl
dentals, which covers the additional door

that the legislatures have added from
year to year.
The items contained in the incidental
appropriation bill, which were printed in
full in the sTrue American" March "a

The total of the appropriations under
item '53'' amounts to $s0,sS3.32 and

HOW THEY LOVE
EACH OTHER.
State Senator Bacheller's
Reply to Colonel Dick
inson Demonstrates
the Harmony
In G. Q. P.
Circles.
Why THE COLONEL IS ANGRY
Bachelor Says It Is Because
He Could Not Get Con-
troll Of the Erection
of the Court House

State Senator Bachelor, of Essex
County, yesterday replied to Col. S. D.
Dickinson's charge that he had, during
the session of the Legislature just closed,
acted in bad faith with the Republican
organization of Jersey City in failing to
support its political measures, thereby
encompassing their defeat.
Senator Bacheller said:-
"The aninosity I seem to have arous-
ed in Col Dickinson and the Hudson
County men, said Mr.. Bachelor, was
largely due to my refusal to support two
bills they prepared and which failed to
pass. My refusal to support those bills
was based on the fact that considered
them to be bad and hurtful measures.
Il gave my promise to support any po-
litical measure that the Hudson County
men prepared, provided it was fair and
did not involve resort to low politics. But
the two bills refused to stand for were,
considered and still believe, bad and
most undesirable bills.
Zone of them designed to take the CON
troll of the construction of the new Hud-
son eounty court fIoust rom the hands
of the Democratic commission appointed
by the Board of Freeholders and place it
in the hands of commission to be ap-
pointed by the presiding judge of the
county
II found this bill would seriously in
terfere with the work of the commission
in charge of the Essex County Court
House, which had entered into large con-
tracts and had issues of bonds made.
Senator's Bradley, of Camden, and Cross,
of Union, where they are also building
court houses, agreed with me the bill was
a bad one
George L. Record, Jersey City law
officer, tried to amend the bill so that it
would affect only Hudson, but he did not
succeed according to the judgmentn Of
good lawyers, and / refused to help that
scheme.
Another bill / refused to sanction
was designed to GUST Mayor Fagan's
own hospital commission because it had
refused to do his bidding after he had
appointed it. This bill was so drawn
that it would upset part Of the system
Of government of the city of Newark,
and | rejected it. Then Mr.. Record tried
to get the same bill though in way
that I considered to be underhanded and
unfair, and which, if successful would
leave the situation regarding Newark in
just as dangerous condition as it would
have been under the original bill.
Il have no regret for any of my pub
lie acts, regardless of the incorporate
language Col Dickinson, has indulged
in. do not fear him or any other man,
and propose that as long as Kremain in
public life no tricky or unfair politics
shall receive aid from me-
