«jaid a Newark Democrat on Saturday: "We

tan."The trolley oompanles of the State, with cap¬

ital estimate, at ?G???.???,???, will attempt to con¬

trol the House of Asssrnbly this week and secure

the enactment of laws which they greatly de-lire. The bills in which they are particularly}nterest".l are known as Senat? Noa HI und 1S_.and were passe«! by the upper house on Thurs¬day. To-m.»rrow ntftht they will he in the House

»nd will be repotted from committee nt once. If

they can he put through they will be driven "f..rall they are worth." and this amounts to a greatdeal.One bill, No. 181, permits the trolley companies

to secure the right of way through towns whenthey have secured the privilege from the buar.

or boards having ci>nir<..l of the highways. Thebill would enable the North Jersey and Con-«olldeted companies to lay tracks thr«>ugh Belle¬ville. Rloomfleld and Montdair, and is a more

complete and. to the companies, a more satis¬factory measure, and in he same litie as the billwhich the Essex Freeholders recently condemned..(Newark Sunday Call.There must be some mistake about this. Sen¬

ator Johnson amended No. 181 so as to leave the

power where it' rests now.with the property-owners and local governing bodies. If that

amendment haa been eliminated from the bill it

could have been done only in an underhand and

tricky manner. At any rate, the matter will

bear watching, as some of the trolley lobbyistsare not overscrupulous In their methods of doingbusiness.

"The Kearny Republican" haa nailed to its

.masthead a Presidential ticket bearing the

names of William McKin'ey, of Ohio, and Gar¬

ret A. Hobart, of New-Jeraey.

This, the closing week of the State Legislature,.ill be a critical one for the people and the Re¬

publican party. There are selfish interests at

work to defeat good bills and pass bad ones, and

h will require the utmost vlgikince to defeat the

rherr.es. The old custom of suspending the Sen¬

ate and House rules on the last day of the session

rtou.d not be allowed this year. Better take a

«lay or two longer than have cause for regrets

afterward

Judging from the statement made ln the Dem¬

ocratic organ, It would seem aa If the electionfor Alderman in the Sixth Ward would go bydefault, and that only a Democrat would bevoted for. Whether or not a Democrat runs, ex-

Alderman James Miller Is an aspirant for theRepublican nomination, and if nominated he will

remain in the fight until the polls close.(Pater¬aon Call.Won't that assurance be cheering r.ewe for all

the good people of Pateraon! Doubtless we shall

promptly see a mad rush of clergymen, reform¬

ers and patriotic citizens «renerally to support"Miiler.Miller the unique, the only, the Inimi¬

Senator Voorhees's track elevation bill will

pr-.b.bly be a law ere sundown to-day. It em·

bdies substantially the proposition made byMayor Wanaer to President Thomas, of the Erie

Railroad Company, and rejected by that gentle¬man. The two peints in which the measure dif¬

fers from other track-elevation bills are that it

¦aill be upheld by the courts and that it includes

Newark as weli as Jersey City.

This afternoon a hearing will be given "n As-

*?emb!yman Benedict's bill annexing Harrison,

t???,? objectionable feature of the measure is the

ab?enee of any referendum clause. It la pro¬

without giving the peiple concerned a chance to

say what they think of It.

which thi« is a supplement, to be a truste» of anyreligious society forming a part of and subordinateto any presbytery In thle State which Is in dueconnection with the general as»tembly of tne Pr·»«-byt(»rlan Church in tne Unitasi Statt», oí America,»hall entet upon the discharge of the duties of micofïlce until the «aid election shall have been ratlfl dand approved at a meeting .>f the session o IUrt'lifrlous society by a vote of Ule majority of themembers of such ¿"essiun.

pared by James Steen, a member of the Monrr.outhPresbytery, who has taken part In the fight be¬tween that body ani the deposed pa«tor. Theyfurther assert that the bill 1« designed to reducethe trustees and congrezat'.on of any Presbyterianchurch to mere ciphers, and strengthen the powerof the Presbytery. The trustees and congregationof the First Presbyterian Church are loyal to their

deposed pastor, but If the Hutchlnson h'll passeathe trustee« now In possession of the church prop¬erty are liable to be depose«! by the PresM teryand their places tilled by new officiali Who are net

There has been consideratile opposition mani¬fested in the laf-1 year, especially by membersof congregations whose pastors have been d«>-

of the Rev. John Krantz, Jr.. who has been thepastor for five years, has expired, and by thelaws of the church he most be transferred to an¬

other charge. Th«· members of Trinity regretro part with him. It Is the mother church lnthe city and was once In th? section where thepeople of affluence lived.

P.RAPE ON EARTH WHEN HI9

HEART IS TURNED TO OOD.

The Rev. Daniel H. Martin, pastor of the Clin¬ton Avenue Reformed Church, of Newark,

preached yesterday on the texts, "There le no

new thinrr under the sun," and "All thing.»» are

now." He said. In part:The contrast in those two statements Is the

more startling seeing that they are the honestconvictions Of two men concerning the same

thing. A man's convictions are his condensedexperiences. These men spoke out of a full ex¬

perience, which, if traced, will reveal the rootsout of which their convictions grew. Solomonatjj Paul are nineteenth century character*·.They represent the two classes into which thehuman family divides Itself: those wham theworld masters, ami th»>se who master the world.It matter* not Whether Solomon wrote the Book»>f E.vii·.«lasten or not. a book bearing no birth¬mark, and well-called the Sphinx of the Bible,be -a us«· it sits amid the sands of everchanglng.»pinion.Whoever the writer was, he speaks for the

everyday man of the world, who seeks his happi¬ness In a life of self-indulgence. Tiring of or.e

form of pleasure, he turns» to another, but findsthat none of them satisfies, So he gives ex-

pn »*s!,-n to his ennui."There Is nothing new

under the sun." It is a suggestive catalogue hegives ¡? the second chapter of the various at¬tempt* he made to collect the debt which he'in led Waa dus him from the w »rid. It is theWorst kin t of a world Imaginable, he thinks.NO use to udì for nriotoey, the penniless cradle1» s .«»? succeeded by the penniless cofiln. Nosatisfaction in saving money, a man's last robe,like btl first, has no pockets. N'»-|rher Is thereany real enjoyment In the world we learn to

weep a moment after coming into It and wenever forsr-et how fr..m lack of practice. I was

klr.r: In Jerusalem and had every chance to provewhat I am saying. All 1« vanity and vexation,and there in no new thing under tht »un.

POLITICS IN TRE VTH DISTRICT.THE CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN TRENTON

ON APRIL 16.

Alderman Oeorge Ashley, of Passale, snd A. C.Holdrum. of Bergen County, the committee uponwhom devolved the calling of the Vth Congress Dis¬

trict Convention to elect delegates to the Republi¬can National Convention, yesterday decided that

their representative« should be chosen in Trenton

on April 16.Several meetings had been held without result. th#

Bergen people insisting that Hackensack was en¬

titled to the convention, while the State Commute·has esjpreasly stated that delegates should bechosen by conventions held in each Congress dis¬trict. J. C. Breckenrldge, chairman of the Berg·»County Republican Committee, objected to the plaaof holding the district convention tn Trenton, aa hebelieved It would militate against his chances of

representing the district at St. Loula. It wa« virtu¬

ally settled that Paesalc County would aend JoaepbH. Quackenbueh, bue when whispers of a combina-tlon formed by the latter with Co.onel William Bar-

bour, of Slaugater Dam, became rife. Colonel Breck-enridge resolved to make trouole before yle.dlng. Hisfriends Insisted that Colonel Barbour did not liveIn Bergen County, though it was on record that

I the electors Ot Slaugater Dam had «ent Mr. Barbourto the last State Convention. Pa*»alc County, withflfty-eigiit vote«, would ewamp Bergen ln the con-

teat, but It was agreed »hat Mr. Barbour would not

reiinqulah hi« ambition foe CongreaalonaJ honor«even for th« gratification of standing with Quack-enbush for McKinley, at St. Louis. Colonel Breck-enrldge was confi lent that he would win a majorityof the Bergen delegate?, and possibly Mayor Mc-Lean, of Passale, might present him with a solid

I delegation. In that event, ? Hackensack contingentmlxh: pr«>ve useful to stem the tide from SlaughterDam.fcix-Sherlff Pell and Hugh Herrlck as«l«te.1 Mr.

Holdrum with valuable advice, and It wa» evidentto them that the honor of representing the districtwould rest gracefully on the shoulders of Meser«.Barbour and Quackenbush, who have publicly de-dared their allegiance to McKinley for President,in deference to the overwhelming sentiment of rh·district.Political gossips declare that this combination

may cause the retirement of Congressman JamesF. Stewart next fall.
