Difference of Opinion.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion in New Jersey relative to the
Littlefield bill, which is designed to
promote temperance. Senators Kean
and Dryden have received a protest
from the Liedertafel Singing Society
of Trenton, Colonel E. G. Stahl, presi-
dent; and from Assanpink and Della
ware Tribes, Improved Order of Red
Men, protesting against the bill;
while the Presbyterian and Metho-
dist churches, of Hackettstown, both
petition in favor of the measure.
Senator's Kean and Dryden have al
so received communication from the
Laflan & Rand Powder Company, of
Haskell, in favor of the amendment
to the denaturalized alcohol act.
Letter carriers, including the rur-
al carriers and postal clerks through
out the United States, will be greatly
pleased by the provisions of the pos
tai appropriation bill which has just
passed the senate. That big supply
measure carries appropriations
amounting to 100000. and
there will be an increase in the salar-
les to be paid to nearly all of the pos
tai employees. Clerks In the various
departments in this city are rather en-
vious of the good fortune of the pos
tai people, as they will have to wait
another year, and perhaps longer, be-
fore they get any advance in salaries.
At the request of Representative
Longworth, who acted on a sugges-
tion of President Roosevelt, the COM
mittee on pensions, of which Mr..
Loudenslager is the chairman, has re-
ported favorably a bill previously
passed by the senate to give pen
sion of $50 month to Mrs. Jackson,
the widow of General Stonewall jack
son, who served in the Mexican war.
Bill Goes Over.
The senate committee on judiciary
has agreed to pass over until the next
session of congress bills relating to
interstate traffic in intoxicating liq-
uors, the bill to protect labor against
the competition of convict labor, and
the postoffice fraud order bill. All of
these measures have passed the house
but the senate committee regarded
them of to great Importance for ade-
quate consideration during the time
of the present session.
Representative Howell has been ad-
vised that a pension has been grant
ed to Isaac Garrabrandt, of Asbury
Park, at $12 month from Feb. 8,
1907. He has been advised that the
bill to increase the pension of Mary
H. Patterson, of Asbury Park, at $50
a month, has been signed by the Pres
ident. Mr.. Howell has received a Pc
