A BUSINESS SESSION AT TRENTON.

Both branches o., the State Legislature are under complete control by the
Republicans, who will have effected the organization and will dominate all the
important committees. The record of the session, therefore, depends or the Re-
publican majority. The great trouble experienced at previous sessions vas the
indsposfion of committees to work OIL bills referred to them by the presiding
officers These bills are the grst for the legislative mills without which the mills
cannot work. Owing to the Incidence and negligence of committees egisaturesj
in the recent past have frtered away the first eight weeks of hi session
practically doing nothing. In eight weeks not a single bill has reached
the Governor in several annual sessions, and the neglect was due TO the
eiurdy committees the members of which lodged out of Trenton as soon as
the Legislature adjourned for the week. The Legislature that is to onven next
a business oe from the start. The Legislature could in its first week pass a
resolution fixing a time limit for thu session. That would nave h salutary
enecto of compelling the early Introduction of bills. A time limit for bills towards
the close of the session, to enable the Governor to act upon passed bills, would
also be necessary. A short business session, with the rerenchmens in III *

A FEW WEEKS LATER.

The pipe, cigar and fagon,
Now look as though the things had
been
Run over by a wagon,
Or by a rushing trolley car
With no protecting fender,
1t may nave been the climate vas
Too rough for ones so tender.
On New Years Day they looked so
fresh
In little bib and tucker.
And pinafore and all those things
Without a single quicker;
Now they look draggled as a man
Straight from an all-night rally,
Nor fitted to associate
With children from the alley.
The man who made them, he, alas,
Is but a human being,
And cannot like a race horse run
When from bad habits fleeing.
The hopeful builder framed them up
A waste of ink and paper
And then he tore them down again,
A very thoughtless caper.
But there is comfort in the thought
That he is not the only
Performer of that kind of thing,
MOI Will the man be lonely.
A New Years resolution may
Look good to its creator,
But it's a marvel If 1t Is
In business two weeks later.
