THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY.


The Assembly's passage of the public utilities
bill without amendment and by a unanimous
vote foreshadOws similar action by the Senate
within few days. The great battle of the SEES
sion is practically over, and its result is nOta-
bic victory for Governor Hughes. The bill as 1T
stands to-day is essentially the bill as it was
drawn up by the Governor and his personal adj
vlserS. There have been large number of
amendments it is true, but they have been
chiefly in phraSeOlOgy. The criticisms of the
corporation attorneys at the public hearings have
been listened to. and where unworkabe provi-
sOns have been pointed out they have generally
been altered. But all of the changes have met
the approval of the Governor and the bill Is to-
day as much his bill as it was when introduced
1t has been improved by long and general cOnsd-
Grafton and by public criticism but human wis
dom is not equal TO the drawing of perfect law
and everybody must be prepared 10 have defects
revealed in practical operation.
The bill as il will be passed provides the
most complete system of corporation regulation
thus far devised in this country, and 1t IS con-
ceived throughout in a spirit of justice to every
interest, public and private. There is no hos
tlity to corporations in the bill; there is no
demagOgy in it. AS ii becomes perfected by
practical operation, it will. we believe, be for
long time model on which the other states of
this country will form their legislation to reg
ulate corporations. 1t is the most important
measure that has been before the Legislature In
many years.

An appeal will doubtless be made from CHIEF
Justice Gummere's decision in the Newark rail-
road improvement suit. but the decision must
be regarded as eminently sound in sense and
equity. The city of Newark by formal contract

done satisfactorily. 10 the incalculable benefit of

for the city TO try to get out of paying its part
