A CAUCUS Of the Republican mem
bers OF the Senate will be held at
Trenton some time between Christmas
and New Years, probably on Decem-
Der d, at which officers for the upper
House Of the next Legislature wi be
chosen. The 9 Tribune says The
Indications point to a much liyelier
caucus than usual, as there IS sharp
contest on for the presidency between.
Thomas J. Hillery, Of Morris county,
representing the northern end Of the
State and Bloomfield H. Minch, Of
Cumberland county, representing the
southern end. Mr.. Hillery was Re
publican leader in the last Senate, and
according to precedent should be the
next presiding officer. The contest is
extremely close with the chances in
favor of Hilery. Another fact that
will help make the caucus interesting
Is the great demand for places in the
Senate, caused by the loss Of fifty or
more jobs in the Assembly TO the
Democrats"

A DECISION by the United States
Circuit Court Of Appeals in Chicago
affirms the decision of the District
Court whichheld that the Continental
Wall Paper Company, suing for the
recovery Of debt owing to it by q
Cincinnati firm, is a trust and an
illegal concern, and therefore had no
legal standing and no remedy in court.
In plain words that means that no
man need pay the bills Of a trust If ne
can prove that it is trust, and Of
course even a trust can't live if its
debtors do not pay their bills.
