Ufa In City and Country.

The United SUOee cemus bureau has made the disconcerting discovery that the dwellers In cities of more than 28.000 Inhabitants live three and one-halt years longer than tbe rural Inhabitants of the country. It has been one of the pleasant Illusions that the man or woman nurtured by the pure air and the plain living of the farm has had a decided advantage in this direction over tht dweller In the smoke-begrimed and unsanitary city; that the hard work of feeding the stock, plowing the fields, planting the furrows and garnering the crops afforded a healthful occupation bonnd to determine the conti health and strength In favor of the husbandman. Despite the statistics, says the Detroit Free Press, and in the face of tbe Information that the rosycheeked, rugged and barefoot farmer ibay grows into the stoop-sbouklfted. wrinkled and prematurely aged cultivator of the toil, while the hollowcheeked. pallid city lad grows into the rubicund, full-faced man of affairs ana grows younger with the years, we are inclined to the belief that the atmosphere sas little to do with the matter. The ally man looks after his health and comfort and has ail the facilities and ad rantsgfs that modern Ingenuity affords. He live* in a house that is properly heated, he is surrounded by sanitary appliances; If be snuffles be runs to the doctor; the oculist and dentist contribute to his well being; he works shorter hours, he systematizes his recreation and his exercise as well as his work. He treats himself well. He doesn't believe In "enjoying" bad health. He thinks -that health Is attainable and he looks after IL His chances of being kilfed by a reckless mo term an are no greater than the farmer’s chances of being bmied under a load of bay; be Is in no greater danger of falling from the window of a skyscraper than tbe farmer la of having a tree fall on him. For every urban dweller who Is killed by a live wire a farmer Is gored by his prize bulk The chances of a vjolent death are about even. Tbe comparative hsQlthfulness of the country and t&e Sty is vivid-

ly told in the statistics.

It U estimated that of the 11,358,312 workingmen In the United States at the time of the lost census, less than one-third could be classed as relatively skilled workers; that is to say as men whose wages approach 82.26 a day or $18-60 a week in good times and when employed. The New York department of labor has shown that about 16 per cent, of the members of unions are unemployed in good times. The proportion among the unskilled is probably •ass. but even at that tote the average annual income of more than two-thirds •f the workers of the United Btateabeeomes r,lightly less than <800 in good

After bis presentation to the legUlature and amid the obeera of the audience Governor Stokes gave bln Inaugural nddreM. At the conclusion of the addrcMs Hev. Henry Colliu Minton, jiastor of the First ITeshyterlan church of this city, pronounced the benediction. When the services In tbe ojiera house had been concluded Governor Stokes. Governor Murphy, the legislators and tbe invited guests were taken Immediately to tbe reviewing stand In front of the state capitol to review the Inaugu-

ral parade.

As the marchers, numbering more than 5.000. with the Cumberland delegation at their head, passed the reviewing stand the enthusiasm, which had been at fever heat, broke all liouuds. and Governor Stokes received thunderous cheers, to which be replied with uncovered bead and smiling face. The parade was witnessed by thousanda who had gathered along tbe line of march. The crack Essex troop acted as escort to Governor Stokes on his departure from the theater. Tbe cavalrymen preceded him to the reviewing stand and then took their position on the right of the column. Their dashing uniforms and prancing horses made a pleasing .feature of tbe parade. After lunch Governor Stokes gave a reception In the etatehonse. The capitol wax beautifully decorated with smilax, palms and banting and In tbe evening was brilliantly Illuminated with hundreds of Incandescent lights. Tbe reception in the afternoon and tbe held in the evening were very largely attended, and Governor Stokes was kept busy shaking hands. The sessions of the legislature were brief this week*on account of tbe Inaugural ceremonlea. but many bills were Introduced. The legislators have gone home for the week and will meet again Monday night Keaa Choeea For Senator. A Joint caucus was held In the asunbly ehember Monday night to consider the selection of a United States senator at a Joint session to be held next week. President of tbe Katate Cross nominated Senator John Kean, and this nomination was seconded by Assemblyman Scott of Hudson. Tbe caucus selection of Senator Kean was made unanimous. Tbe Democrats also held a caucus and nominated Colonel Edwin A. Stevens. Fortner Senator James Smith's name was presented, but Colonel Stevens was decided upon as the vrty'a

nominee.

A bill was passed under suspension of rules providing for elections in Sussex and Union counties to fill the vacancies caused by the deaths of Assemblymen Elect Decker and Embree. The elections were set for Feb. 7. Tbe initial bouse bill of .the session was an equal taxation measure by Mr. Duffield (Rep.) of Essex providing for the taxation of second class railroad property at local rates. The bill will not likely be pushed until the equal taxation commission submits its report regarding tbe taxation of ‘'main stem” property. This bill amends the railroad and canal taxation acts 1884 sad 1888 by providing that on or before March 1 of each ysar every railroad and canal company shall return to the state board of assessors complete statements or schedules under oath of all i

'Senator Wakelee (Rep.i of Bergen presented a bill providing for a repeal of the law passed some years ago cod-' Ing a tract of ground fn Bergen county along the Falisades to the government for a national and military park. The law transferring the title of tbe land to the national government was passed March 3. l**i. when there was state agitation to have the natnral beauty of the Palisades preserved. The national government never availed itself of the opportunity to establish a military and national park on tbe rite. Since the passage of the law a state Palisade commission has been nomad and a state park has been laid out on the tract A Mil pat in by Senator Wakelee amends the corporation laws so that companies chartered in this state to do business all over the world may use the word “po«Resrion*" In referring to the Philippines and Porto Rico.

Governor Murphy in the Introduction ef his mesKnge to the legislature said that tbe peojde of New Jersey hud cause for thnukfulnesft In that tbe favor of tbe Almighty atill blesses the

state.

The governor aald that the report* of tbe treasurer and comptroller show receipt* during the year of $4,570,918.82 and dUbnreements of $4,587,037.01 and a balance on hand of $2J*40J»18J«8. The executive wa* pleased with the fluau cial prosperity of tbe state; but, a* former occasions, be expressed opinion that the state surplus should be used for the present needs of the commonwealth. One of tbe method* the governor recommended for d!s tritmting part of the surplus was the Increasing of the school apportionment* to the various counties. Tbe state has established a policy of making an appropriation of 35 per cent of the amount of tbe school tax to Its various municipalities. The governor recommends that this be Increased to 50 per

cant

CsBstltstlahal Ceaveatb One of the feature* of the was the governor's recommendation for a constitutional convention. The Judicial system, be said, is acknowledged to be cumbersome and expensive, and the pressure of work causes delay and loss. One obstacle to the conveutlo«x. he said, has been the fear that a change might be made In senatorial representation. Tbe governor did not think this would be done. Touching on equal taxation, the governor aald that In bis opinion tbe legislature will be derelict In Its duty if it does not seriously consider tbe present situation and act upon it Tbe Income of tbe state must be protected, aud at the same time In framing remedial legialation the requirements of the constitution must be observed.
