The state of New Jersey is different in its government system from most others It has no lieutenant gov- ernor, therefore no officer who naturally falls into place as president of the sen- ate. The senate elects its own president. The people elect the governor, the gov— ernor appoints the state treasurer, secre- tory of state and other state oflcials. The misunderstanding and consequent formation of two sen'Etes, both daily, arose in part from these peculiar fea- tnru of the New Jersey constitution. The state senate last year was Demo- crltic. At the fall election a majority 4...... pnhlicnno They expected to take their asatsat the beginning of this year. Here animus arose which is comparatively new in the organization of a state legis- lature. Acting under the advice of the attorney general of New Jersey. the Democratic members of the senate. now in o minority in consequence of the fall election, refused to surrender the organ- isotion of the new house to the Repwi- lican majonty. They claimed that a stole senate was, like the United States mate, a "continuous body." and that therefore the right. to organize the house and pass on the credentials of members belonged to them. the Democratic mi~ norlty. Both senates organisethepublican and Democratic. Each avowed it would nevo er give in. l'ndonbtedly members of each body thought they were right. Matters went on thus for over two months. There was nothing in the Jersey consti- tution to throw light on the matter. It was finally referred to the supreme court of the stat/e to settle whether a state senate was like the national one~a “continuous body"—and whether meni- here that had been elected out of ofiice could hold over and organize the new body and pass on the credentials of new members. The court decided that they could not-«at least not in New Jersey. Then the majority party entered into pos- edon with the organization they had al- ready perfected, and sll's well that ends well. The question Is, however. an interest- ing one in parliamentary law. The same question may arise in other states. and the New Jersey example may me be cited as a prec edent Policemen and the Drama.

Titus out of mind these friends of the public have been publish- ing warning stories of how people who keep large sums of money in their homes have been tortured and robbed, often murdered, yet the warning is not heeded. Especially when persons livein smallvil- lages and in lonely farmhouses it is noth— ing less than inviting robbery and man dsr to keep so much as 0100 in the house. Even when the money is locked up in a safe the owner of it can be tortured till he is forced to reveal the combination and give up the key.

The Great May Day Ceremony of \ lllale Life in England. litany of the younger readers of THE Saarinen have no doubt. read more or less of May Day, in England, and the great ceremony of the Village life of‘that country, the crowning of the queen. The gay pageant. and the sIIccoedIug festivi- ties are thus described in an English pa- per sent to a friend of 'l‘m: Sizs'nsrzl. in South Norwalk: Theinhabitauis of the ancient town had made every preparation for the great event, and before noon the streets were sanded in many curious and wondrous devices peculiar to festive occasions in this locality. and flags and hunting float- ed bravely from every point of vantage. Tin-scene was brilliant, and the merry bells from the ancient church pooled forth their joyous music. while the screw-hing of the lm'oinotive whistle in dicated that others besides the townspeo- ple took an interest in the coming event. The railway was pouring in its trains all- morning, adding thousands to the merry throng, while the roads from every point of the compass were adding thousands as tlieirquota. The part of the Heath al- loted to “shows" was alive with all forms of amusement, driven by the modern Ile- mons of steam. etc... and nuts. and “lickey-pokoy." and gingerbread, and other comniestiblI-s liad each their loud and persistent salesmen. Bells and hurdy-gnrdim. barrel organs with steam lungs, church bells and brass bands, each in a key peculiar to itself, was a delight ful harmony of sweet sounds, being the very essence of an English gala day. Large droughts of police had been re- quisitioocd, but their services “are not required. Although the streets wore thronged to excess, and locomotion was materially misled by a pair of stout el- bows, yet every one was intent on enjoy- ment.and the best of humor prevailed. As 2 o‘clock spprI Iachod the young people who were to take part in the procession were IIIarslIalling to the Town flail, from which the cavalcado was to start. and Iliomineralpnblienmde its way in the some direction. Crowds are difficult to number, but it was generally conceded thst not far short of 20,000 people witnmsed the peasantry. This huge llvlnlf throng elbovvod its way along the narrow streets. and a few min- utes after thetims announced the pro- cession began to emerge from the hall. First came the marshal on his grey charger, around whose neck was a mossy garland of bt'ftllllflll flowers. The brass band led the van, followed by six- teen Morrish dancersbedizened with rib- bons and mess of all the colors of the rainbow. These gentlemen tripped the old Moorish danoeto the chant by the trawling band. Jschdn-(lreen was Ihe source of considerable curiosity. and his nimble antics were refreshing to see in his heavy mantle. The memo mn- dord-hearer nest took his place, then a number of bountiful little girls in hrlglrtmsnd brood hall, with an- eflsnmdard bearer.
