nacking Up the sTAR.
From the Trenton Times.

~
The Newark STAR suggests the aboli-
ton Of night sessions, as a means of
getting rid OF TIE ilRproprieties and
horse-play that usually mark final adj
journn1ent of the Legislature. That
was contemplated when arrangements
were lnade for winding up the session.
Leaders Alderman and Edge both gave
assurances that the resolution proFid-
ing for final adjournment meant "5
o'clock in the afternoon and not s, 10 or
Il o'clock ut night" But their plans
miscarried.
The scenes last Thursday night ana
Friday morning were BY no means as
bad as reported. but even the foolish
ness usually INDUCED in is undfsaidtd
in a body Of men sent down here to
make laws for the State. 1t would not
oocur in daylight. and the remedy is, as
the STAR suggests. to abolish night
sessions, for which there is no longer
any legitimate excuse.
Senators and Assemblymen needed
the lesson they are getting in the con-
demnation OF the pulpit aud the e,iti-
cislns Of tho Tross. II has been COM
ing to them for years. They shirk
work during January. February and
the FIRST part of March. and try to
crowd it all through in the last two
or three weeks. The people Of the
state would be greatly surprised to
learn Oh some Of the goings-on in
Trenton, in which the law-makers
lartleipate.
Tho spgge. tons II the STAR that the
l)b6Y should also be abolished will
meat with most cordial approval on the
Fart Of tie public. Governor Forts

cns eted requiring every lobbyist to
res.stsr ana declare his business was
Il Crst-clnss one. I want these so
called lobbyists taught that they are
criminals raid to cndeavor to matte
criminals out Of our leeis!ators,' aptly
declared the Governor.
End the night sessions II the lobby
and New Jersey will have taken an
advanced step in the direction of better
legislation.

III STRUGGLE OVER THE RAILROAD BILL.

PITS HERE are about 120 amendments to the railroad bill in the
Senate. and there was great encouragement for the "regu-
lars" Yesterday when two hostile amendments were voted
down while three administration amendments were adopted. All
rlpse amendments related TO the proposed court of commerce. The
charge is made that the bill as introduced, as an administration
measure. is an irsidions one. in the interest of the railroads. and
intended 10 break down the antitrust laws. What gives color TO
Tie charge is the strong support the bill receives from the Aldricll
react ionaries who framed the Payne Aldrich tariff bill upon the
pfrfcnse of 4 revision for the benefit Of The people and made it II
greater bulwark for the trusts. But the railroad bill has Il hard
road 10 travel in the Senate and Il harder one in the House, now
faf Speaker Cannon is stripped Of much Of his old time authority.

Dor on September II a new island has
been added to the Bogoslof group in

Power Of Faith,

Good old George Herbert Che Is al.
ways known as good and old says:
Curiosity in prying into high specu-
lative and improbable questions is an
other great stumbling block into the
holiness Of scholars" It Is the spirit
that finds truth, not the mind. A man
has to assume something before he
can hope to reach the truth about any
thing, and that something is not what
he has discovered, but what is a part
of himself, something intuitive, some
thing he sees with his soul.
A man who speculates about God or
the moral kingdom plunges into a jun
gle and gets worse lost as he proceeds.
And this Is going on all the time.
Faith is not argument; neither is re-
ligion. They are both a beautiful.
helpful, simple life. And when one
thinks he can prove anything more
by his syllogtsms AM terminologies,
he is sadly mistaken. A man is aw-
fully deceived about his own wisdom.
he gets farther from the truth and
makes himself unhappy beside.
