Under the old law about $30,000 I worth of printing was annually given out by the joint committee ot the Legislature, and most of it went to the Trenton organs ot the party in power in the Legislature. It one house was Democratic and the other Republl-: can, as It often happened, the joint commit-i tee was so constituted as to secure an equal division of the swag," and occasionally a growling country printer received a job.whleh he immediately sold at a discount to a Tren-I ton firm. Under tho present law the work is done by contract and given to the lowest bidder. This enables non-union offices to get tho work, and naturally leads to the proposed bill, The stationery used by the State officers and Mil Aw Lewis S. Cox, 1220 Chestnut Street.

Not nearly so much money spent in "jinicrack" presents now-a-days as was done a few years ago. People don't eat so much candy or display so much jewelry; but tliey wear better clothes and dress with more taste. What folly to send an article of jewelry to a person who sorely needs a Cloak or Dress! "We've nothing against the candy men or jewelry people; good fellows, all of them, and their wares have their proper place; but that place is after Cloaks and Dresses. In Fine "Wraps, both long and short, we have a splendid assortment. The same is true in Wraps of medium grade.

Newmarkets and Baglans are here without number; all desirable fabrics are represented in them. We imported and have manufactured a special line of garments for elderly ladies notwithstanding the common impression that there are no Elderly Ladies. Among them are Long Silk Garments, fur trimmed, and Long Cloth Garments, Astrakan trimmed. Have you thought of what an acceptable present a ready-male Dress Waist, put up in a box with enough of same material for Skirt, makes'? We alone have them. The prices are $10, $12, $14, $10, $18, $20 and $25.

The Cloths are particularly handsome, and the Waists are perfect in shape and fit. Lewis S. Cox, 1220 Chestnut Street THACKARA, SONS C0.t 1300 Chestnut Street, have now open their importations of Holiday Goods. Invitation extended to select while the stock is complete. SPECIAL NOTICES.

VERY, LARGE, WELL-COLORED MERMET ROSES. AN OUTLINE OF PROPOSED oiAT LEUI3- LATION. The Senatorial Muddle The New Governor's Expected Appointments-Changes in the Fundamental Law Gossip. Tbejjton, K. Dec.

8. The fiscal year ot the State ol New Jersey ended oa November SO, and the various State officials are now busy preparing their reports for the Legislature and forwarding a synopsis thereof to the Governor-elect, Congressman Green, who will be inaugurated on the third Tuesday of nest month. Of toe State reports the most important is that of the .1 1 I 11 erally embodied in that ot the Governor's inaugural address, which is a kind of official salutatory. Governor Abbett has commenced his valedictory message, and, though wrapt in mystery, his friends say that Leon Abbett will briefly review his administration, reiterate his convictions on the taxation ot railroads and the necessity of uniform tax laws. It must be remembered in this connection that Governor Abbett bos noc been entirely successful in his railroad taxation schemes, that the Supreme Court considered the last general railroad tax law unconstitutional, and that the State won finally only by the votes ot the lay judges in the Court of Errors and Appeals.

As it now stands the law is considered defective, and the docket of the Supreme Court of the United States will soon be burdened with railroad taxation 'appeals from New Jersey. Most of the roads are payin under protest, and should tbe State lose finally it will require a very heavy direct tax on the people to reimburse the railroads. One line, the Morris and Essex, a part of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Westerm system, is very defiant, claiming exemption under a perpetual contract with the State, and agalost this road the inoomlng Legislature is expected to proceed this winter under a clause in the charter which gives the State the right to take the road at cost at the expiration ot fltty years. This will happen in 1887. and as a matter of course Governor Abbett devotes a large portion of his message to this case.

His views, however, are not shared by some of the ablest lawyers in the State, and the counsel for this particular corporation, ex-Governor Joseph D. Bedle, an ex-judge of the Supreme Court, is very defiant. Governor Abbett's atti-tute towards tbe railroad companies has made him, naturally enough, many Powerful Enemies; and they will do all in their power to prevent bis election to the United States Senate, whloa is the height of the Governor's ambition. Trior to the election no other name than that of Leon Abbett was mentioned for the Sena-torshtp on the Democratic side, and Governor Abbett entered into the campaign with the understanding that he was to be General Sewell's successor la case of a Democratlo majority on joint ballot. Now that such a majority baa been secured apparently on the returns, Everything la Changed, and many other candidates aDpear for the Senatorial toga.

The Republicans have not given up the fight. They will contest three seats and the Democrats six, but it is difficult to see in wbat direction tbe Republicans have any hope. The Assembly wlil be organized by the 'Democrats, the Committee on Elections will be Democratic, and though it might give a seat or two to Republicans where fraud has been too apparent, tbe committee will in all probability unseat enough Republicans to maintain a Democratic majority on joint ballot. The strongest competitors for the Senatorial seat at the present time are ex-Senator John F. Stockton, now tbe Attorney-General, and General Theodore Runyon, now completing bis second term of seven years as Chancellor.

It Is an open secret that Mr. Stockton stands very close to the Governor-elect. He is in fact a rotative. Should Judge Green decide to throw his influence with his kinsman, he can make such use ot his verv extensive patronage as to secure Stockton's election. It Is rumored that, should all hands be willing, Governor Abbett is to be Attorney-General of the State, General Runyon to be renominated for Chan cellor and Stockton to go to the Senate.

Abbett as Attorney-General would conduct the railroad taxation cases, which his administration produced, and it is said that he shall reach the Senate two years from now as the successor of Senutor McPherson, whose second term expires with I'resident Cleveland's first administration, and who is presumed to be booked for a Cabinet position in the event Cleveland re-election. This programmi meets with the approval of the leaders of alt Democratic factions, though it does not suit Abbett, who wants to go to the Senate without delay. Several members of the Assembly who were favorable to Abbett told your correspondent that thev aonroved of this scDnmn. and it may be set down as the slate, as it would the party and obliterate the sectional feeling existing in the State In regard to the Scnatorship. Tbe fact is, South and Middle Jerscymen don't like the idea of having both United States Senators from Hudso i county, which would be the case with Abbett and MiTherson serving together.

The Governor's Cabinet. Next to the Senatorship the question ot the Secretary of State is the most important just now in the minds of the average influential isew Jersey politician, it is the fattest office, and its present Incumbent, Henry C. Kelsey, bas held it twenty-one years. It is a sort of Pooh-Bah office, as the Secretary is ex-offloio Insurance and Bank Commissioner, clerk ot tne courts of Pardon and ot Impeachment, member of the State Board ot Education and of a half a dozen other boards. Mr.

Kelsey was antagonistic to the incoming Governor, but everybody around the Capitol flrmlv be lieves that Kelsey will be retained In the interest of "Democratic harmony." At all events tie is powerful enough to Drove verv trouble some in years to come. The present clerk ot the Supreme Court, Benjamin F. Lee, is also booked for another term as a sort of sop to South Jersey, he being credited to Cumberland county. It can also be said that the Judces of the Supreme Court, whose terms expire during Governor Green's term, will be renominated, with the probable exception of Judge juagie. Proposed Important Legislation.

Tour correspondent the other day had lengthy conversation here with a member from Essex, a candidate for Speaker, who Is serving bis fifth term, and has been all over the State in bis own Interest. From his remarks It be comes certain that the next session will be a long one, and that many important measures will be introduced. All the time will not be taken up with railroad taxation bills, but desperate attempt will be made to vast the yearly recurring bill providing for the calling of a constitutional convention. This bill Is to be pushed this time, and it has the backing of nine-tenths of the members of the bar, i who are anxious to remodel the judiciary system of tbe State, which is, to say the least, antiquated. But it is not an easy thing to pass such a bill In tbe Senate.

East Jersey, by reason of its large and con- stantiy growing population, always controls the House, and there the bill calling for a convention will pass again, as It has many times before, but South Jersey, aided by Mon mouth an Ocean, has a majority of one In tbe Senate, and will not go Into the convention business, except It is guaranteed that no change shall be made in the present county representation In the Senate. The fact Is, South Jersey Is atrald of Sena torial districts which would deprive it of all power in legislation, and the railroad corpora' tions side with South Jersey, for they can easily control the Senate as at present consti tuted. Another bill of Importance to be Introduced is a measure to create the office of State Printer and Superintendent ot Stationery, the Incumbent to be elected by joint meeting of the Legislature, like the Comptroller and Treasurer. This bill meets the approval ot the labor interests, and Is aimed at the non-union print-ii offices of Camden, who manage toobtali most of the State contracts by reason ot their i STOCK CLEARLM FOR.

The question ot riparian rights ot the State Is to be revived at tho next session, recent decisions by the United States Supreme Court having shed new light on this perplexing question. New Jersey guards her riparian rights very jealously, as the State school fund depends thereon. Loose Management of Funds.

Another matter that will receive attention Is the loaning out of moneys belonging to the sinking fund. The State is practically without debt, as the sinking fund, managed by two commissioners, contains always enough to pay off wbat little obligations fall due, and most of the balance is loaned out on bond and mortgage to responsible citizens of the State. These loans will be the subject ot an investigation, as it is charged that large sums have been loaned on land that never can be repaid, obliging the State to foreclose and carry a largo amount ot worthless real estate on its bands. The commissioners to rebuild the burnt portions ot the Capitol will come again this session for a large appropriation. that is two years ago, $50,000 was to do the job.

The commissioners, in violation of law. spent the whole amount in a foundation and at the last session $250,000 more was voted. There was some talk of proceeding against tha commissioners, but the Impeachment trial against State Prison-keeper Patrick Laverty consumed all the time, and the commissioners kept on building. The money now is gone again and it will require another respectable amount to finish and furnish the building, the burning ot which has proved quite a Godsend to some of the local contractors. Recent wholesale discharges from the State Prison have called the attention of Legislators to the doings ot the Court of Pardons.

a star chamber, surrounded with much mystery. It is composed of the Chan cellor and tbe six lay judges of the Court of Errors and Appeals, with the Secretary ot State as clerk. Its proceedings are secret, though opportunity is given to counsel to be neard. in order to secure a pardon it Is ne cessary that the Governor's vote be cast for pardon or a commutation of sentence. Sbou'd tbe Governor vote no and all the other members aye the pardon would not be granted, out Dy courtesy tne Governor always votes first, so that the other members, four of whom must vote with him, know his determination.

Recently twenty-eight convicts were pardoned, among them some very hard cases, and now the people demand open sessions ot tne court. Home statutory provision, therefore, is expected this winter. Temperance Legislation. The Temperance party will renew their effort for a general local option bill this winter through Senator Chattle. of Mon mouth, in the Senato, and through E.

Ambler Armstrong, ex-speaker, in tne House. Though legislation toward abolition or restriction ot tbe liquor traffic has been made part ot the Republican platform, the outlook is not as favorable as ft was last year. The Senate may pass a local option or high license bill, but the Assembly will not, the liquor interest being strong therein, and the speaker is likely to be a man favorable to tne saloon-keepers. A new license law for Newark must be passed. however, owing to a recent decision of the Supreme Court.

The Organization. From present appearances Senator Grlstrs. of Passaic, a verv able Republican lawyer. and all the Republican officers of the Senate. wttn one or two minor exceptions, will be re elected.

In the Democratic House the candi dates are Harrigan. of Essex: Woolverton. of Warren, and Beckwlth, of Atlantic, with the chances in favor of the former, who will enter upon his fifth consecutive terra, something very unusual in New Jersey. William Harri gan is a soda water manufacturer, with good record as a legislator, being the author oi several popular enactments. In regard to railroad affairs he is antl-l'ennsylvania, and on tee otted states Senatorship he is "solid' for Abbett.
