Leglalation was never more reck? lessly paaaed neve thnn thi* yttt. The railroads and (.tiicr corporations found lt an eaey Lagtolatara la handle1 and they have seenred the piisH.1..- of lull* that Ioi years had been in trndaeed In vain.

Jai.mry and Februury. Aa wai* telegraphed l.st night, "Billy" Thompson, the " Duke of GUmeeatcr," wai, the real author of this MMaaate. lie bad tlie lull drawn at IO n'eluek list night, but it was not Intruduoed until i o'clock this afternoon. If th. "Duke oi t'Piiicos ter" hu* any athel object in vb-w than the pui'i tohmi'iit of the Guttenburg people who failed to ?respond t.o hie call nu- financial help when h.- waa puttiiiR tho Parker gambling lulls through', it must be to appease tin- Deaauerutic leader* id tho State who had ben pleading with him for days to "io som. tbiug to relieve the party ot the r<? eponsibility for the Parker arin Most people believe that the "Duke" doesn't tan- a straw fir the Denim nitic, leaders, but that his single pur? pose is to lu* avenged upon "Denny" McLaugh lin, because- the latter showed adSshness wh.-Ti called upon to contribute to Ibe racing nv-n's fund. While, ga stated, the great majority renard this as the true i.-ason for the pussuge of thc bill. many ethers fanny that tho measure **>ntulna lomethirg which cannot ho detected upon its furfnec. but which, in due season, will turn out to be for the benefit of the winter tracks. The bill looks honest enouch. lt malu--- racin. rJurfu.' tho -nontli8 mentioned unlawful, imposes ho*vy pennltio.*- for Itu violation, and authorize-*. nnd directs the State police to make raids upon trucks where ths law is violated. It socs even further. Having in view the fact that John P. Feeny ls thc chief of the State police, and that he 1* on terms of intimate friendship with ibo management of the Cuttenbure track, th" " Duke" had inserted a clause authori.ini' tho Governor to call upon the State militia to perform the duties imposed upon the Stat,- police in the event of the failure of the latter to act. Tb.* bil] went through both houses with a rapidity that aa* tonishod even tho ohbist and craftii**st lobby isis The "Duke of Ciloncester" taught them trick* ili.it were never dreamed of in their philosophy. " Denny" McLaughlin'** men were aware that tho bill was coming in, and they prepared for a biir fight, expending to bo abb- somewhere in ita progress through the houses to check its flight and kill it. Hat they could (lo nothing of the kind, and the ?Duke'" laughed at their frantic effort-- to heat his measure. Having lien put upon the calendar without reference io any committee snd engrossed In advance, tlie hill was really, the very moment of its introduction, tor tho second reading. Fast and furious came the amendments designed to kill it, snd guilt and decisive were all the votes BgahkBt them. Mr. Carroll, of Hudson, tod the lighting for "Denny" McLaughlin. On his desk was a big pile of amendment*.. After tho slaughter of Cv-vo or three of thom Carroll made a motion to strike out thc enacting claus* of the bill; and that alga wis ( voted down. Mr. Lane, of Union, advocated the hill. So far as it went, he said, it was approvt-d by the Citi tens' Ix-ague. Many members who had voted for the Parker gambling bill* were anxieus to square ehonisolvcs with their constituents by voting f-.r this act, aud they nil spoke iu favor of it. A motion to advance the hill to third reading was carrie., \vbile Mr. Carroll wu.* on his feet ottering amendments. He cried out thut fiir flay was sot being shown, and shouted and sawed the air, but Speaker Flynn puid no attentiou to him. "I have a lot of amendments," encl Carroll. "Too lat<?," retorted the Speaker. "1 want to offer them for thc consideration ot the House.'' " Too late ." Mr. I-ane moved that the bill Ik* taken up on third reading, and Mr. Carroll taunted him with joining tho gang which he had for weeks been denouncing. "You're a line iiioralLst, you uroL-' -houted Carroll at Lane. ? You bot!" exclaimed a man in the gallery, and .everybody toughed Tlie FB_g and nays were now taken, and the measure was passed, 37 to 17. In ten uiiiiutos more the bill was on the Senate calendar; and the orders there, like those iu the House, were to whip it through. Senator Daly made a hurd llnht to heat it. He said, in one of his many speeclu-s, that it repouled some of tho beet featuros of the Parker bills and allowed racing and gambling lor nine months in the year. Ile had n?v?*r seen the bill, and wanted the S*-nators to have thc advantage ot printed cories ho that they might bo able to read it carefully. "The bill shall bo road carefully here before Anal action," said President Adrain. .Senators Terhuno, of Monmouth. Stokes, of Cumberland, and others, said they Intended to vote for the measure Ikv.iiso it killed winter racing. It might tx- detlcient in many reapects, but txi stop the alleged s^ort for Hm** ni'inth* in tho year wa* a concession to public sentiment. Senator Marsh, of -Talon, made a short but strong apeeeh against the bill. Men wen- bidgel. he said, by thc company tiny kept. This bill wns fresh from the hands of the men who had foisted tho gambling laws upon tho State. It had been in the Senate only Bfteea minutes, yet t4 <-y were tlready demanding Baal action on it. The bill wai*, to say tha least, open to BUBOklpn. Ho wan against gambling in any form or daring any period of the year. It were far better to let thc gambling laws stink In the nostrils of the people tho whole year. Next winter a body of men would be elected aa the Legislature who would not prostitute thc State to the interests of the gamblers. After a few more short speech**, pro and con, tlie roll was called, and the hill passed! lb to .",. .hose voting in the negative wen- Meaar*. Daly, Marsh. Mc Nile ken. Miller uud Perkins, nll^ Demo? crats, lt is believed th<- Guvernor will sTmi tho bill.
