A.— Describing conditions In institutions for the care of the -Insane in this state as being among the worst in the country. Senator Henjessy of Bergen in the debate on senate bin 5 by Senator Bathbun of Mortis urged that Immediate steps be taken to correct these conditions. The • ME, which was passed, appropriated 1150.000 to be expended in the purchase of land to be used for the Erection of new buildings. Senator Hennessv contended that ■neb an appropriation would not afford any relief at the present time, since new buildings could not be erected cither at Trenton or Morris Plains to reliere tbe overcrowded conditions at those institutions. Tbe present appropriation. he maintained, was but a drop In tbe bucket, and it would be years before any results would be obtained under sucb a piecemeal poller of appropriation. 8enator Ratbbun. tbe introducer of j the bill, agreed with Senator Hennessv I that the present institutions were very much overcrowded and. referring to tbe recent fire at Morris Plains, said that if it had'occurred at night there would have been great loss of life. He thong'it. however, that the plan worked out by the commission, which requested this appropriation, was the most feasible to ultimately better existing conditions. It was also bronght forth in the debate that the officials in charge of the hospitals admit lhat much of the new treatment accorded the patients at present Is antiquated and does not accord . with advanced methods, but this can- 1 not be remedied with 4he present fa- 1 cllltJes. The measure received an , unanimous vote. ^_^-<5oard of Guardians.-' * Governor, Fielder s charge thai "a ; board <>'f guardians." as he calls lhem. . is dlrectingv4eglslation for tbe benefit of the JtepnhiV-nn party cansfed_wtde- 1 spread rom'mstat. 1 . — "Jndeiiendylit state newbpr> nhrv ~ the' executive declared, "have directed attention to the return to the etatelwuse wilfi but slight change in personnel, of the board of guardians and to tbe attempts of this self constituted and mischievous body- to direct and dominate' the course of legislative procedure. _ These papers are rendering a great pule ' lie service .Vnnd I hope they will continue their efforts to arouse the state to ' action, in that the influence of public : opinion may be directed against these' efforts to hamper and prevent free and - nonpartisan action by a majority of the , ^nembers. "As evidence that politics aud parti-, san feeling control the motives of some men in the legislature, either willinglyor by direction of their --guardians " hesaid. "I would suggest that the pnblic; examine pending bills." Among them ' he mentioned : "Assembly 20 and 200 — Both Intro- j duced by Mr. Godfrey, to extend the! term of the present Republican com ! missioner of labor for two years.

Marta— iai «t being recorded <m tht a8en4to* Gaunt of Gloucester. opened the debate. He cHed figures to show " that where the sale of liquor war ' stopped there was greater prosperity " and leas crime. He referred to several experiences he had in traveling through local option and prohibition state* 1 which supported this contention. Senator Hennessy of Bergen, who it striving for the Democratic nomination for governor, maintained that the Issue presented by tbe bill was wbetbei or not they wanted Intoxicants sold. He held that the legislature. dfcl not - ( have to consider whether prohibition ' was good or not since the question wa« whether or not municipalities should have borne rule ' Senator McCrnn opposed the bill on * the ground that legislation can never ' make a man good.
