each gain an assemblyman are Essex and Bergen. The As
sembly is restricted to sixty members, and as the popula-
ton Increases the unit of representation is necessarily en-
larged. Every county is entitled to one assemblyman, with
out regard to population, but to obtain one more it must
have two units in the apportionment. A county with more than
one assembIyman, if it does not keep up in population, loses rep
resentation in proportion to its comparative showing in the census.
For example, Hunterdon and Warren, which now have one assem-
blyman, formerly had two; Morris formerly had three assembly.
men, and now has two; Burlington also lost an assemblyman.
What these counties lost was gained by Essex, Hudson and Pas.
sale. The great increase of population in New Jersey in the
present half decade is in North Jersey, in Hudson, Essex, Passaic
and Bergen. and the three last named counties are sure to get an
additional assemblyman at the expense of smaller counties that
have more than a single representative in the Assembly. This
will give to the four contiguous North Jersey counties of Essex,
Passaic, Bergen and Hudson thirtytwo votes in the House of AS
sembly, a majority of four. The new apportionment will, there
fore, to some extent weaken the control that the small minority
of the voters of the State, in the small counties possess by their
constitutional majority in the Senate. The county should never
have been recognized in our system of legislative representation,
and it is well enough known now why it was made a unit for both
Senate and Assembly, namely, to bride the popular will. But we
are not as far away from a constitutional convention to revise the
system of legislative representation as we were before the amend
ment election last month, and we are a hundred years nearer than
we would be if those artfuIy contriyed amendments had been
adopted,

prison settlement on the Black sea, and
died January 20. 1890.
When the twenty-seven Newark men
were looking for a name for their bank
and could not agree on any one with
local history, someone brought up the
name of Howard. the philanthropist. As
the institution was to be philanthropIc
in nature the name was at once ac-
cepted and has remained without eve
a change in a letter since March 16,
1857. when the bank was Incorporated.
Following its incorporation the insti-
tuition was fully organized and opened
for business on May 5 of the same year.
It's first business was transacted Ia
the Office of the National Newark
Banking Company, then located at the
northwest orner Of Broad and Bank
streets. 1t remained at that Locations
for five years, until 1862. when the
premises at 742 Broad street were pur-
chased, the bank moving into the frs,
home of its own in 1853. The institution
occupied that location for just twenty
years. and in 1883 bought the land and
building at 76S Broad street, where the
institution is still located. The OLD
building ON this site was occupied until
1899, when the bank erected the pres
ent handsome banking building.
At the present time the bank owns
property both at the side and in the
rear of the present property and has
plenty of room to increase its facilities
when the time comes. and in passing
it might be said hat it is understood
that time is not far distant.
But, as told above, the great and con-
tinued growth of the bank is not as
wonderful as the close connection be-
tween the present board of managers
and the Incorporation board of fifty-twc
years ago.

IN TWO COUNTIES

were three groups contending for the mastery, the regular organi
zation, the New Idea and the former county leader and his friends.
There was a difference in the sequel. In Essex the regular organi
cation came out ahead. In Hudson the New Idea secured a plu-
rality, but when the time came for counting noses it was found
that the Regulars had gone over to the former county leader and
united forces for a county committee majority. In Essex the new
county committee will not organize until the fourth Friday in De.
cember, and the November election will intervene. What will
happen then? The standard of political morality in Essex is not
that of Hudson. Politics make strange bedfellows, but there are
some phases Of political life in Hudson that would not be- possible

Judge Cotton
Performs Ceremony

Judge A. T. Cotton has entered a
new field and is making a fine rec
ord in joining together two hearts
that would beat as one. Last Sat-
urday afternoon Trinidad Bracom-
ente called at his office, and declared
his intention of providing for the
future of Pablo Mungia. The judge
readily consented to tying the knot,
and, after hunting up his bible, pro-
ceeded to perform the ceremony
that bound the throbbing hearts of
two of Safford's Mexican population
as one for life, which he did very
successfully.
Evidently, the judge has achieved
great popularity with our Mexican
citizens, for on Monday morning
another couple appeared at his resi-
dence and stated that they wished
his services in performing the mar
riage ceremony. The groom was
George Salinas and the blushing
bride said her name was Carlotta
Cordero. The happy couple stood
up in the parlor Of the judges home
and were speedily made man and
wife.

Judge EQan Falls
Into the San Simon

The heavy rains of Saturday and
Sunday afternoons and evenings
caused considerable damage in the
valley, many alfalfa crops were de-
stroyed by the descending rains,
which in many places became floods.
The San Simon rose above its banks
and washed away the bridges at the
Solomonville depot and the one
crossing the river west of the town,
cutting off all travel between the
county seat and the valley.
Monday was the date fixed for
the meeting of the board of equali-
zation. Supervisors Dowdle and
Prina and Assessor Birdno reached
the depot safely, but were unable
to cross until a foot bridge was con-
structed out of the remaining tim
bers of the bridge. They crossed
on the temporary bridge and
reached the court house safely.
Judge Egan, while crossing the
temporary bridge near the depot,
after an unsuccessful interview with
the board of equalization in an at
tempt to secure reduction of the
assessment levied on the Arizona
Copper Co., of which he is counsel
lost his balance and fell into the
raging torrents below. Fortunate
| ly, Judge Egan's avoirdupois pre-
vented him from sinking from the
sight of his friends, and after sew
eral heroic attempts, they finally
landed the judge on higher ant
safer ground.
