LIFE GUARDS

The Life Guards are two regiments of
cavalry forming part Of the British
household troops. They are gallant sol
diers. and every loyal British heart IS
proud Of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours. ours, eyerybody's
should have its life guards The need Of
them is especially great when the great
est foes Of life, diseases, find allies in
the very elements as colds, influenza,
catarrh, the grip. and pneumonia do in
the stormy month Of March. The best
way we know Of to guard against these
diseases is to strengthen the system with
Hoods Sarsaparilla- the greatest of all
life guards. 1t removes the conditions in
which these diseases make their most
successful attack gives vigor and tone
to all the vital organs and functions. and
imparts a genial warmth to the blood.
Remember the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease. Hoods
sETsaparilla maSes the system stleag.

ence not in the rate, but in the power
to fix the rate. Formerly, your board
had absolute power to determine the tax
rate for your city Under the Hillery
act they may fix it up to $1.971a, plus
judgments, and for any rate above that
must have your cooperation.
In other words, the Hillery act gives
every voter voice in determining the
amount of taxes you will pay. The citi-
zens of Elizabeth, under this act, voted
for rate of 1886, the citizens of Pater-
son for a rate of $3.50, the citizens of
Passaic for a rate Of $3.50, and the citi-
zens of Ocean CITY for a rate of $2.25.
To characterize as a railroad measure
law that gives the people voice in the
determination Of their tax rates at the
ballot box, just as they have right to
select their own public officials, is a
charge that lacks sincerity and insults
the intelligence of the people.
whatever your views may be upon
the subject it is fair that you should
know the provisions of the law. The Hill
lery Tax Law is of course a legitimate
subject for discussion and difference of
opinion ,and l shall be glad TO give your
request the fullest and fairest considera-
tion.

ator Hillery had already introduced in

known as Senate bill No. 108.

Postmaster Edwin Cadmus, Of Bay

dorsement Of a majority of the Republi-
can City COMMITTEES for re-appointment,
because one of his friends accidentally
voted for dead man. Later he was
defeated for the endorsement by Presi-
dent Frank B. Eddy. of the Republican
Club. The salary is $3.100 year. Mr..
Cadmus was endorsed by the committee
some time ago. Since then he has fa-
vored the reappointment to the bench OF
Judge Horace Robertson. whose term ex-
pires this month. Those who opposed
the reappointment of the judge got hot
under the collar and Mr.. Eddy appeared
in the field as a candidate for the Post
mastership in opposition to the candi-
tiacy of Mr.. Cadmus for reappointment-
When the Republican City Committee
took a vote yesterday, Committeeman
James, friend of Mr.. Cadmus, acci-
dentally voted for the endorsement of
George Cadmus, brother of the present
Postmaster. George Cadmus died re-
Gently. When the vote was announced
as a tie. Committeeman James explained
his mistake and wanted to change his
vote. He was not permitted to do so.
After recess a second vote was taken
and EDDY won by a vote of 20 to 80.

TRENTON. March 80, 1906. While
this year has broughtsa session Of the
Legislature which did not look for pre-
cedents to regulate its procedure, still
other novelties are to occur, if present
plans are carried out and especially in
connection with the bill to re-establish
the old system Of electing Assemblymen
by districts instead of by counties, as
at present.
The novelty in connection with this
measure will be the plan to have the As
sembly redistricting bill drafted as a
committee measure and presented, not as
the bill of any one member of the Legis-
lature but as the work of a number, not
withstanding that Senator Cornish, OF
Warren, introduced such bill drafted
by Senator Minturn, Of Hudson, accord
ing to Democratic ideas Of how the coun-
ties should be divided into Assembly dis
tricts.
The Republican leaders of each county
have been busy drawing Assembly lines
to meet their own ideas and these have
all been presented as amendments to the.
Cornish bill.
It is understood that the COMMITTEES
Z -
substitute for the Cornish bill will be
presented early next week and the prcb-
abilities are that it will be introduced in
the House, as it viii be the members Of
that body who will be affected by ats
provisions.
BY having the bin offered as a purely
committee measure there will be eliminate
ed the possibility of having some jeal-
ousies created, and will give to the Re
publican party as a whole the credit of
having introduced the bill.
The bill, it is said, viii contain the
Assembly district lines as settled by the
Hudson County Republican Committee
and which were published in the News"
several weeks ago. 1t will contain pro-
vision, it is said, which will justify the
taking of the matter into court at an
early date 50 as to have the Court of
Errors and Appeals pass on the constitu-
tionality of the law before next Novem-
ber election

Rank and File In the House
Accuse the Leaders Of
Of Wishing to Bury Their
Bills In Committee
SESSION ENDS MARCH 29
SENATE HAS NOT YET CONCUR
RED IN sTHE HOUSE REsOLU-
TIoN BUT THERE Is No PRoBA-
BILITY THAT IT WILL NOT.
Special to "The Jersey city News. >


TRENTON, Mar. 10, 1906.-The fact
that the House of Assembly has passed
a concurrent resolution fixing Thursday,
March % as the day upon which the
Legislature shall adjourn sine die. does
not meet with the majority favor. The
rank and file fear that the object Of the
leaders is to bury in committee many
bills which they have introduced.
The Senate must concur in this resolu-
ton before it can be carried out, but the
probabilities are this body will so decide
when Leader HiIlery proposes the reso-
luton Thus it is almost practically as
sured that the Legislature will adjourn
March %, as the leaders have agreed.
The present session of the Legislature
has been in existence nine weeks with a
possible three weeks more before final
adjournment. This is the average length
of a legislative session. That any com
plaint should be made at final adjourn
ment on March 20 is not easily UNDER
stood. because all of the important meas
ures have been discussed at committee
hearings or otherwise and can be easily
adopted BY either House within two or
three days.
Charges have been made that the
present Legislature has not made much
actual progress in lawmaking, and that
no date for adjournment should be select.
ed until all the important measures have
passed both Houses.
A prominent Republican who has at
tended the sessions during the past
twenty-five years declared yesterday that
the present session of the Legislature has
made more actual progress, considering
the importance Of the legislation it Had
to consider, than any Legislature of the
past decade made in the same length of
time. He said:-
Hearing after hearing has been held
upon every really important bill that has
been presented. At these hearings some
of the foremost citizens of the State have
spoken, thereby affording such members
as were not fully informed and such 9TH
ers as We're not even fairly well informed
to consider intelligently from every point
of view every act which is of vital inter-
est to the welfare of the State.
eSI want to say that, in my experience.
there has not been a more conscientious
Legislature, and less restricted cour-
tesy awarded to the people at large.
This is as it should always be, and it
has served forcibly to remind the citizens
of the State that public clamor is not
public opinion. When it has been-and
there have been occasions when it was so
the legislative chambers were control-
led by men who have since been in the
background with the mob which aided
them in the accomplishment of their pur-
poses Ito correct one of which a consti-
tutional amendment became necessary
and are likely to remain in the back
ground forever"
