It ia expected that a strenuous fight will be made by the railroad lobbyist! against the bills now before the legislature designed to prevent a repetition of such a horror as the Central railroad collision at Plainfield several days ago. but It Is generally accepted that at least one of the bills providing for an extra man on every locomotive engine of the "camel back" type will pass and will receive the governor'a signature. The "two firemen" bill failed of passage a few years ago by reason of the influence of the railroad lobby, but the recent catastrophe affords an opportu nity of pressing this matter, and there Is every prospect that the “two firemen" bill will be successful this year. The Central railroad accident hat given rise to considerable speculation relative to the advisability of the creation of a state railroad commission foi New Jersey. The suggestion of a II providing for such a body has not ?t with general favor, it being clatmthe railroads operating In till!

Senator Wakelee's voting machine bill has not made Its appearance as yet. but It will In all proha^ity be Introduced shortly, and there is every prospect that It will receive speedy and favorable consideration at the bands of the lawmakers. There is an impression in some quarters tlmt the proposed measure does not go far enough, inasmnch as It only provides for tbe purchase by the state of a limited number of these machines to be Installed in as many of the voting districts of the state as would give them a thorough trial and show their good merits off to the voters to the best advantage. Tbe ma Ailnes cost $500 apiece, and to place one iu each of the 1,114 voting districts of tbe state would entail on outlay on
