HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY.
In 1606, King James of England granted a new patent
for Virginia (ignoring that of Sir Walter Raleigh, dated
in 1584), in which was included the territory now known
as the New England States and New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Maryland. The possession of Eastern
New Jersey was claimed by the Dutch, the Swedes claim-
ing the right to the Western portion. The former built
Fort Nassau, on the Delaware, near Gloucester; Fort
Orange, on the Hudson, near Albany ; and the Hirsse of
Good Hope, on the Connecticut; the latter found the set-
tlements along the Delaware river, after the Dutch built
Nassau, the tort not being of sufficient strength to main-
tain their shadowy claims. Disputes as to the rightful
possession of territory continued for years, until the early
spring of 1 664, when Charles II. sold to his brother James,
Duke of York, "all that tract of land adjacent to New
England, and lying and being to the westward of Long
Island ; bounded on the east part by the main sea and
part by the Hudson river, and hath upon the west Dela-
ware bay or river, and extendeth southward to the main
ocean as far as Cape May, at the mouth of Delaware bay,
and to the northward as far as the northernmost branch
of said bay or river of Delaware, which is forty-one de-
grees and forty minutes of latitude, and worketh over
thence in a straight line to Hudson river, which said tract
of land is hereafter to be called by the name or names of
Nova C^sarea or New Jersey." James soon sold this
to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret.
The name was given in honor of Carteret, on account
of his gallant defense of the Island of Jersey, at the time
he was Governor of the island.
This grant regarded the Dutch and Swedes as intruders,
and Berkeley and Carteret not only became rulers, but
acquired the right to transfer the privilege to others.
Measures were speedily devised for peopling and govern-
ing the country. The proprietors published a constitu-
tion, dated February 10th, 1664, by which the government
of the province was to be exercised by a Governor and
Council and General Assembly. The Governor was to
receive his appointment from the proprietors ; the Coun-
cil was to be selected by the Governor, who might make
choice of six Councilors, at least (or twelve, at most), or
any even number between six and twelve.
On the same day that the instrument of government
was signed, Philip Carteret, a brother of one of the pro-
^ (7)
8 BISTOR r OF NEW JERSEY.
prietors, received a commisson as Governor of New Jersey.
He landed at Elizabeth in August, 1665.
The precise date of the first settlements in New Jersey
is not known, though it is believed that the Danes or Nor-
wegians, who crossed the Atlantic with the Dutch colo-
nists, began a settlement at Bergen about the year 1624.
About ten years previous, an attempt was made to form a
settlement at Jersey City. In 1623, the Dutch West India
Company sent out a ship under the command of Capt.
Cornelius Jacobse Mey , who entered the Delaware bay and
gave his name to its northern cape, and, sailing up the river
to Gloucester, built Fort Nassau, which may be considered
the first permanent settlement of the State.
Upon the arrival of Governor Carteret, he entered at
once upon a vigorous discharge of his duties. A large
number of settlers flocked thither, and at an early period
the executive authority of the province was established by
the appointment of a Council, composed of Captain Nich-
olas Varlett, Daniel Pierce, Robert Bond, Samuel Edsall,
Robert Vacquellen and William Pardon. James Bollen
was appointed Secretary of the province.
The first Legislative Assembly in the history of New
Jersey met at Elizabethtown, on the 26th of May, 1668.
The session lasted four days, and was characterized by har-
mony and strict attention to the business for which the
Burgesses and Representatives were summoned by Gov-
ernor Carteret. It may be noted that this Assembly passed
laws by which twelve distinct offenses were made punish-
able with death. The Assembly adjourned sine die, and
seven years elapsed before another convened. The cap-
ture of New York by the Dutch, July 30th, 1673, was fol-
lowed by the subjection of the surrounding country,
including the province of New Jersey. The whole of the
territory, however, swung back to the possession of the
English crown, by the treaty of peace with Holland, on
the 9th of February, 1674.
The second General Assembly began its session on the
5th of November, 1675. Eight members of Council, in-
cluding the Governor, were present, and fourteen Repre-
sentatives appeared from the towns. Laws were enacted
looking to the proper military defense of the province,
for the institution of regular courts, and for the assessment
of taxes. A code of capital laws was also adopted, similar
in its provisions to that passed in 1668.
On the 18th of March, 1673, Lord Berkeley, one of the
original proprietors of New Jersey, disposed of his right
and interest in the province to John Fenwick and Edward
HISTOR Y OF NEW JERSEY. 9
Byllinge, members of the Society of Quakers, or Friends,
wiio paid the sum of £1,000 for the same. John Fenwick
received the conveyance in trust for Edward Byllinge, and
a dispute as to the terms having arisen, William Penn was
called in as arbitrator. He gave one-tenth of the province
and a considerable sum of money to Fenwick, and the
remainder of the territory was adjudged to be the prop-
erty of Byllinge. A permanent settlement was made at
Salem, in June, 1675.
Owing to the continued disputations and dissensions, a
division of the territory of the province was agreed upon.
By this "Indenture Quintipartite," dated July 1st, 1676,
the line of division was made to extend across the prov-
ince, from Little Egg Harbor to a point in the Delaware
river in forty-one degrees of north latitude. These divi-
sions were known respectively as East and West Jersey,
until the charters of both were surrendered, and the two
portions included together under a royal government.
By the retrocession of New Jersey to Great Britain, by
the treaty of 1674, the question arose whether the title
returned to the proprietors or to the King. To avoid all
difficulty, the King recognized the claim of Carteret, and
made a new grant to the Duke of York, who also executed
a fresh conveyance to Carteret, covering, however, only a
part of the original territory of New Jersey. But, before
making this conveyance, the Duke included the province
in a commission given to Sir Edmund Andros, Governor
of New York, who refused to recognize the authority, as
Governor, of Philip Carteret, arrested all magistrates who
would not submit to his own jurisdiction, and finally, on
April 30th, 1680, carried Carteret himself prisoner to New
York. The Duke was finally prevailed upon to acknowl-
edge the claims of the proprietors, and in 1681 the gov-
ernment of Andros came to an end.
^ West Jersey, in February, 1682, was purchased by Wil-
liam Penn and eleven other Quakers, and settlements
were made at Burlington, " ye falls of ye Delaware " or
Trenton, and a flourishing whaling station established at
Cape May, not to mention Salem, already a growing town.
The first Governor under the new proprietors was Robert
Barclay, a Scotchman, and one of the twelve purchasers,
under whom the country became an asylum for the op-
pressed members of his creed, and for a time enjoyed
great prosperity. But the number of proprietors, the
frequent sub-divisions and transfers of shares, and various
other difficulties in the way of good government, soon in-
volved the province in trouble, and in 1702 the proprie-
tors surrendered the rights of government to the Crown.
10 LlfST OF GOVERNORS,
Queen Anne appointed Lord Cornbury Governor of New
York and New Jersey, but each continued to have a sep-
arate Assembly. In 1738, New Jersey petitioned for a dis-
tinct administration, and Lewis Morris was appointed
Governor. The population was then about 40,000. The
last Royal Governor was William Franklin, the illegiti-
mate son of Benjamin Franklin. A State Constitution
was adopted July 2d, 1776, and some of the most import-
ant battles of the Revolution took place upon its soil.
Among these were the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Red
Bank and Monmouth.
The first Legislature met at Princeton, in August, 1776,
and chose William Livingston, Governor. The Federal
Constitution was adopted by a unanimous vote, Decem-
ber 18th, 1787. The State Capital was established at
Trenton, in 1790.
New Jersey, out of 98,806 men liable to do military duty,
furnished 88,305 during the civil war, being 10,057 in ex-
cess of the number called for by the general government,
and within 10,501 of her entire militia at that time. Of
this number 79,348 served with State organizations, and
the remainder in regiments of other States. The naval
and marine enlistments from New Jersey numbered 4,853.
The entire expense to the State for organizing, equipping,
subsisting, supplying and transporting her troops, was
$2,894,384.99.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
OF THE
UNITED STATES.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve the political bands which have con-
nected tliem with another, and to assume, among the powers
of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the lav»'s
of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect
to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident : that all men are
created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable rights ; tliat among these are life, liberty
and the pursuits of happiness. That, to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed ; that whenever any
form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a
new government, laying its foundations on such principles,
and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that governments long established should
not be changed for light and transient causes ; and accordingly,
all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to
suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But,
when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invari-
ably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw
off such government, and to provide new guards for their
future security. Such has been tlie patient sufierance of these
colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them
to alter their former systems of government. The history of
the present \ung of Great Britain is a history of repeated
injuries and/usurpations, all having, in direct object, the estab-
lishment of an absolute tyranny over these vStates. To prove
this, let facts be submitted to a candid world :
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good.
(13)
14 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate
and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operations
till his assent should be obtained ; and when so suspended, he
has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of
large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish
the right of representation in the Legislature— a right ines-
timable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,
uncomfortable and distant from the repository of their public
records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance
with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for
opposing, with manly firnmess, his invasions on the rights of
the people.
He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to
cause others to be elected ; whereby the legislative powers,
incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large
for their exercise ; the State remaining, in the meantime,
exposed to all the dangers of invasions from without, and con-
vulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these
States ; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for the natural-
ization of foreigners ; refusing to pass others to encourage
their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new
appropriations of lands. ^
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing
his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the
tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither
swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their
substance.
He has kept among us in times of peace, standing armies,
without the consent of our Legislatures.
He has afiected to render the military independent of, and
superior to, the civil poAver.
He has combined, with othei-s, to subject us to a jurisdiction
foreign to our constitutions, and unacknowledged by our laws ;
giving' his assent to their acts of pretended legislation :
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us ;
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment, for
any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of
these States ;
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world ;
For imposing taxes on us without our consent ;
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 15
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefit of trial by
jury ;
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended
offenses ;
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neigh-
boring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government,
and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an
example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute
rule into these colonies ;
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable
laws, and altering, fundamentally, the forms of our govern-
ments ;
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring them-
selves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases
whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of
his protection, and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our
towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
wHe is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign
mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and
tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and
perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and
totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on
the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become
the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall
themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrection among us, and has
endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the
merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an
undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for
redress, in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions
have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince
whose character is thus marked by every act which may
define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in our attentions to our British
brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of
attempts by their Legislature to extend an unwarrantable
jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circum-
stances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we
have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to
disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt
our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been
deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must,
15 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our
separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind,
enemies in war, in peace, friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of
America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the
Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our inten-
tions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people
of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these
United Colonies are, and of right ought to be. Free and
Independent States; that they are also absolved from ail
allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connec-
tion between them and the State of Great Britain, is, and
ought to be, totally dissolved ; and that, as Free and Inde-
pendent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude
peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and do all other
acts and things which Independent States may of right do.
And, for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance
on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually j)ledge
to each other, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION
OF 1873.
On April 4th, 1873, the Legislature passed a concurrent
resolution empowering the Governor to appoint, by and with
the advice of the Senate, a commission of two persons from
each Congressional District, to suggest and propose amendments
to the State Constitution for submission to and consideration by
the next two Legislatures, and afterwards to be submitted to a
vote of the people.
On April 24th, of the same year. Governor Parker nominated
the following gentlemen, who were duly confirmed by the
Senate :
First District — Benjamin F. Carter, Woodbury ; Samuel H.
Grey, Camden. Second District — Mercer Beas^Iey, Trenton ;
John C. Ten Eyck, Mount Holly. Third District— Kobert S.
Green, Elizabeth ; John F. Babcock, Kew Brunswick. Fourth
District — Martin Eyerson and Jacob L. Swayze, both of New-
ton. Fifth District — Augustus W. Cutler, Morristown ; Benja-
min Buckley, Paterson. Sixth District — Theodore Runyon
and John W. Taylor, both of Newark. Seventh District —
Abraham O. Zabriskie and Robert Gilchrist, both of Jersey
City.
Shortly afterwards Chief Justice Mercer Beasley declined to
serve, and Philemon Dickinson, of Trenton, was appointed in
his stead. Martin Ryerson resigned and Joseph Thompson,
of Somerset, was appointed to fill the vacancy. Chancellor
Theodore Runyon also declined and George J. Ferry, of
Orange, was appointed in his stead. Ex-Chancellor Zabriskie
was unanimously elected president of the Commission, and
upon his decease, which occurred in a short time afterwards,
Dudley S. Gregory, of Jersey City, was appointed to fill the
vacancy in the Seventh District. John C. Ten Eyck was
elected president, vice Zabriskie, deceased. The secretaries
were Joseph L. Naar and Edward J. Anderson, both of Tren-
ton. Subsequently Robert Gilchrist resigned and William
Brinkerhofi', of Jersey City, was appointed in his place. John
W. Taylor also resigned and Algernon S. Hubbell, of Newark,
was appointed in his place.
The first session of the Commission was held on May 8th,
1873, and the last on December 23d, of the same year. The
amendments submitted were partially adopted by the two
succeeding Legislatures, and were ratified by a vote of the
people at a special election held on September 7th, 1875.

STATE INSTITUTIONS.
THE STATE CAPITOL.
This edifice, a massive structure, erected at sundry
times and various periods, is located on West State street,
at the corner of Delaware street, running thence westerly
along State street to the grounds of the late ex-Chancellor
Green, and southerly to the Water Power. The location
is a good one, and although the style of the building is
not modern, yet it answers the purposes for which it was
intended, even if it does not present a very imposing
appearance.
The seat of Government was fixed at Trenton by an
act of the Legislature, approved November 25th, 1790.
James Cooper, Thomas Lowery, James Ewing, Maskell
Ewing, George Anderson, James Mott and Moore Fur-
man were appointed commissioners to select, purchase or
accept so much land as was needed, and to erect thereon
suitable buildings for the use of the Legislature. They
purchased the present site, containing about three and
three-quarters acres — a frontage on Second street (now
West State street) of 247 feet and 6 inches, and a depth
from the front to low water line of the Delaware river of
666 feet — at a cost of £250 5s. The old State House was a
plain, bare-looking, rough-cast building, and was erected
at a cost of £3,992 3s. ^d. By an act of March 4th, 1795,
a building was erected to serve as an office for the Secre-
tary of State, and for the preservation of the public
records, at a cost of £620 19s. lOd. Numerous improve-
ments and repairs were made, and on March 3d, 1806, an
act was passed appointing commissioners to make certain
repairs to the State House, to provide and hang a suitable
bell, &c. This was done, and the bell was used for inform-
ing the members of both houses, as well as the courts,
of the hour of meeting. The bell was eventually dis-
carded, and an American flag substituted, which waves
from the building unto this day, when the Legislature
is in session, and upon holidays and State occasions. In
1848, the State House was altered by the removal of the
(116)

rough-casting, and changing the front to the style of the
Mercer County Court House, placing neat porticoes over
the front and rear entrances, and erecting two additional
buildings adjoining the main one, as offices for the Clerks
of the Chancery and Supreme Courts. The rotunda was
also erected, and the grounds fenced, graded, laid out
and shade trees planted, all at a cost of $27,000. The
commissioners under whose directions the work was
completed, were Samuel K. Gummere, Samuel R. Hamil-
ton and Stacy A. Paxson. In 1863, '64 and '65, appro-
priations were made and expended in building additions
for the State Library, Executive Chambers, &c. In 1871,
Charles S. Olden, Thomas J. Stryker and Lewis Perrine
were appointed commissioners to cause a suitable addi-
tion to be built — more commodious apartments for the
Senate and Assembly, &c. The sum of $50,000 was appro-
priated, and the buildings for the Legislature were ready
for occupancy in time for the meeting of the Legislature
of 1872. In 1872, $120,000 was appropriated for complet-
ing the building, $3,000 for fitting up the Executive
Chamber, $4,000 for fitting up the Chancery and Supreme
Court rooms, and $2,000 for fitting up the offices on the
first floor of the east wing. In 1873, the sum of $43,000
was appropriated for the improvement of the front of
the building, completing unfinished repairs and improve-
ments, and for fitting up the Library, &c. On March
18th, 1875, the sum of $15,000 was appropriated for the
purpose of putting a new three-story front to the build-
ing, and to fit up offices on the second floor for the Clerks
of the Court of Chancery and Supreme Court, and for
providing a suitable museum for geological specimens,
and the battle- flags of New Jersey volunteer regiments,
carried during the war of the Rebellion.
On March 21st, 1885, the front portion was destroyed
by fire, and the Legislature appropriated $50,000 for re-
building, and, in 1886, an additional appropriation of
$225,000 was granted.
The new building was finished in 1889. It is of rect-
angular shape and of the Renaissance style of architec-
ture, with a frontage of one hundred and sixty feet on
State street, a depth of sixty-seven feet, and three and a
half stories high, with a rotunda thirty-nine feet across,
which connects the new section of the Capitol with the
original part. The rotunda is surmounted by a dome
one hundred and forty-five feet high.
1 1 8 THE ST A TE CA PITOL,
The building has about sixty feet more frontage than
the former one, and approaches about ten feet nearer
the street.
The walls are constructed of solid, fire-proof, brick
masonry, faced with a light-colored stone from Indiana,
known as Salem Oolitic, with foundations and trimmings
of New Jersey freestone, from the Prallsville quarries, in
Hunterdon county. The portico, door-head and trim-
mings about the door are of the same material. The
portico, with balcony, is supported by massive pillars of
polished granite and surmounted by the coat of arms of
the State.
The apartments used for oflSces are very spacious, fitted
throughout in the most approved modern style, and each
department is supplied with one or more of the finest
fire-proof vaults. The first and second stories are set
aside for offices, and the entire third story is used for the
State Library.
The old State Library apartments have been improved
and extended, and are now used as offices for the Attor-
ney-General, State Superintendent of Public Instruction
and Commissioner of Banking and Insurance. A new
story was added, which is used for the Geological Museum
and State offices.
In 1891, a new Assembly Chamber was erected. The
old one was too small and poorly ventilated, and besides,
there was a lack of suitable committee rooms. The
Legislature of 1891 passed a Joint Resolution, which
was approved on March 20th, authorizing the Governor
" to provide a suitable chamber and committee rooms for
the use of the General Assembly of this State," &c., and
also, " to make such additions and alterations aa will
afi'ord the necessary accommodations for the Supreme
Court and Court of Errors and Appeals, or for other State
offices, and sufficient money is hereby appropriated for
that purpose, to be paid by the Treasurer of this State on
the warrant of the Comntroller, after approval by the
Governor."
The new chamber was built by James W. Lanning, of
Trenton, from plans prepared by James Moylan, of Jer-
sey City, and under the superintendency of Bernard J.
Ford, of Newark. It covers the site of the former cham-
ber, and extends beyond it to Delaware street on the
east and to the water power on the south. It has a front-
age on Delaware street of 120 feet and a depth of 75 feet.
The exterior finish and design of the building are similar
to the adjoining portion of the Capitol. The foundation
THE STA TE LIBRAR Y. 119
is of brown stone, from the Stockton quarries, and the
trimmings of light Indiana stone. The interior is fin-
ished in Trenton tile, quartered oak and Italian statuary
marble. It is a fire-proof building throughout, and is speci-
ally ventilated. The committee rooms are ample and
convenient, and the interior design, arrangement and
finish make it a model legislative chamber. It cost the
State $140,500. The cost of the steam heating and venti-
lating systems was about $25,000.
The other new addition to the Capitol provides a con-
sultation room for the Judges of the Supreme Court and
the Court of Errors and Appeals and a private room for
the Governor, a room for the Museum of the Geological
Survey, and other offices, and cost $34,500.
An electric light apparatus was also placed in the
Capitol, which cost $23,000. Every department in the
building is now lighted by electricity.
A new Otis elevator has been placed in the front part
of the building, which gives easy access to all the upper
floors.
THE STATE LIBRARY.
This {valuable collection of books is located on the
third floor of the State Capitol. The old saying, " Great
oaks from little acorns grow," most appropriately applies
to this institution.
The first library of the State was a case ordered to be
procured by Maskell Ewing, Clerk of the House of
Assembly, for the keeping and preservation of such
books as belonged to the Legislature. It was ordered
by a resolution passed March 18th, 1796. This was the
nucleus of the present extensive library. On February
18th, 1804, William Coxe, of Burlington; Ezra Darby,
of Essex, and John A. Scudder, of Monmouth, were
appointed a Committee on Rules, and to make a cata-
logue; they reported that there were 168 volumes
belonging to the State, and presented a code of seven
rules, which was adopted. On February 10th, 1813, an
act (the first one) was passed, entitled "An act concern-
ing the State Library." Up to 1822 it appears that the
Clerk of the House had charge of the books, as Librar-
ian, and, on J^ovember 16th, 1822, an act was passed for
120 THE STATE ARSENAL.
the appointment of a State Librarian, annually, by joint
meeting. In 1846, on April 10th, an act was passed
making the term of oflSce three years. The Law Library
at that time belonged to the members of the Law Library
Association. Tiie only persons allowed the use of the
Library were members of the Association, the Chan-
cellor, and the judges of the several courts. Stacy G.
Potts was Treasurer and Librarian of the Association.
The Law Library was kept in the Supreme Court room
until 1837, when the Legislature authorized the State
Librarian to fit up a room adjoining the Library for the
care and reception of the books and papers belonging to
the State Library. Thus the two Libraries were consoli-
dated. On March 13th, 1872, $5,000 per year for three
years was appropriated for the Library by the Legisla-
ture, and by the act of March 15th, 1876, the sum of
$2,500 was appropriated for finishing and refurnishing
the Library room. In 1890, the Library was removed to
the third story of the new part of the Capitol.
THE STATE ARSENAL.
The building now used as the State Arsenal was for-
merly the old State Prison. It is situate on Second
street, in the Sixth "Ward of the city of Trenton, and
has on its front the following inscription :

was proposed that the old one be converted into an Arsenal
for the safe keeping of the arms and military property of the
fe ae, which, previous to that time, had been kept in the old
fetate Bank, corner of Warren and Bank streets, with accoutre-
men s and camp and garrison equipage at the State House.

Among the stores, &c., at the Arsenal are one bronze gun,
French, of the date of 1758; two bronze guns, English, four'

two guns captured at Yorktown, October 19th, 1781. There
STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM,
NEAR TRENTON.
This institution is located in Ewing township, in Mercer
fri>^i' -"^"^ """"A ^^^^ "'^^^^ northwest of the city of Trenton, on
the Belvidere Delaware Kailroad, and near the Delaware riler
A very fine view is had from the Asylum. The building is
built of reddish sand-stone (from the Ewing quarries on the
premises), laid in rubble and broken range work, and pointed,
with hammer-dressed stone for base. The roof is covered with
slate, except the dome, which is covered with tin.
In 1844 after many futile attempts to cause' action to be
taken for the building of a State Asylum for the Insane, com-
missioners were appointed to select a site, and an appropri-
ation of 63o,000 was made to pay for the land and commence
the erection of a building. The commissioners selected the
present site. During the year 1845, commissioners were ap-
pointed to contract for and superintend the erection of the
Asylum, which was done by William Phillips and Joseph
VVhittaker, of Trenton— the builders of the State House It
was opened for the reception of patients May 15th, 1848
JNumerous additions were made to the building from time to
time and under the direction of the present Superintendent,
UY.d. VV. Ward, a fine green-house has been added, and he

flowers and hot-liouse plants are a source of much pleasure to
the unfortunates, who regard them with rare appreciation ;
and during the fell and winter months there liave been regu-
lar weekly entertainments, consisting of tableaux, conceits,
dancing, the performance of minor theatricals, and stereop-
ticon exhibitions. The effect of these, besides breaking up
the monotony of long evenings, seems to call the minds of the
patients from their troubles, and not unfrequently tends towards
the restoration of their mental health.
An addition was made to the building in 1889.
STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
MOBRIS PLAINS.
Owing to the crowded condition of the Trenton Asylum,
connnissioners were appointed to select a site and build an ad-
ditional asylum in the northerly portion of the State. They
purchased 430 acres, at a cost of $82,672.11, in Hanover town-
ship, Morris county, and plans were drawn by Samuel Sloan,
architect, of Philadelphia. The building was erected and
occupied by August 17th, 1876. It is 1,243 feet in length, and
is 542 feet deep from the front of the main center to the rear
of the extreme wing, and will accommodate 800 patients. The
total cost was $2,250,000.
STATE NORMAL AND MODEL SCHOOLS.
These schools are located in the city of Trenton, on a piece
of ground belonging to the State, at the junction of Clinton
avenue and Perry street. There are two buildings — one called
the Normal and the other the Model Hall.
As early as the year 1839, the Trustees of the School Fund,
in their annual report, advised the erection of schools for the
education of teachers. The appeal was unheeded. Normal
schools, so far as this country was concerned, might then have
been considered an untried experiment. There was but one
in the United States, and that had just gone into operation in
Massachusetts.
For upwards of fifteen yeai-s, New Jersey continued to forego
the means for the education of teachers ; but the Legislature
of 1855, with an enlightened liberality, passed a law for the
establishment of a State Normal School. The object was de-

clared to be, the training and education of teachers in such
branches of ^ knowledge, and such methods of instruction, as
should qualify them to become teachers of our common scliools.
The location of the school and its general management were
committed to a board of ten trustees, two from each Congres-
sional District in the State, to be appointed by the Governor,
by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The lot was purchased of William P. Sherman, Esq., at a
cost of $3,000. The architect was Chauncey Graham. The
corner-stone was laid by Governor Price, October 9th, 1855.
The school was opened in a temporary building, October 1st,
1855, under the direction of the chosen Principal, Prof.
William F. Phelps, there being fifteen candidates for entrance
examination— five gentlemen and ten ladies. The school con-
tinued under the management of Prof. Phelps till March 15th,
1865, when Prof. John S. Hart, Principal of the Model
School, took charge of the two schools. The latter resigning
February 7th, 1871, Lewis M. Johnson, of Newark, was
elected Principal, and was succeeded by Washington Has-
brouck, July 1st, 1876. James M. Green succeeded Mr. Has-
brouck in 1889. The property of these schools is valued at
$250,000. In 1890 and '91, an addition was made to the
buildings at a cost of $48,000.
An auxiliary to the Normal School is the Farnum Pre-
paratory School, at Beverly, Burlington county, founded
by Paul Farnum, in 1856, who gave $70,000 in money and
property for its support.
STATE REFORM SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
This institution is situate at Jamesburg, Middlesex county,
and was authorized by an act of the Legislature, passed April
6th, 1865. Juvenile criminals between the ages of eight and
sixteen years are here cared for, and every influence tending
to their reformation is brought to bear upon them. Numerous
additions have been made to the original building, to which is
attached a farm of 490 acres. The first pupils were received
July 6th, 1867.
STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
This institution is located on the line of the Trenton Branch
of the Delaware and Bound Brook Railroad, in Ewing town-
ship, near the Trenton Lunatic Asylum, and is located on a

farm of about 79 acres of land. A substantial building was
erected, at a cost of $23,334, and other improvements made,
which bring the value of the place, with furniture, &c., up to
$^37,740. Previous to the erection of the new building, the
scliool was at " Pine Grove," in the Sixth Ward of the city
of Trenton. Tins place liad been leased so as to afford room
for persons sentenced under the act of April 4th, 1871.
THE STATE PRISON.
The New Jersey State Prison, situated on the block enclosed
by Federal, Tliird, Cass and Second streets, in the city of
Trenton, is one of the finest institutions of its kind in tlie
country. Its erection was authorized by an act of the Legis-
lature passed Februarv 13th, 1832, and it was completed in
the year 1836, having'l50 cells, at a cost of $179,657.11. It
was built of red sand-stone, from the Ewing quarries, and the
style of its architecture is Egyptian, having four Egyptian
cohnnns in front of the main entrance, on Third street. It
consists of a main building, used as a residence for the Keeper
and as reception rooms and offices. From time to time the
prison has been enlarged, and although there is not sufficient
room to afford separate confinement for each prisoner, as re-
quired by law, the provisions of the act are carried out as far
as possible. The rules and regulations now in force have
brought the internal affairs of the institution, as to cleanliness,
discipline, victualing, &c., to a much higher standard than
was ever before reached, and a visit thereto will convince the
visitor that the management is as perfect as can be.
On March 4th, 1847, $5,000 was appropriated to build an
additional wing to the original building. On March 25th,
1852, $15,000 was granted for the erection of a new wing for
hospital purposes. On March 22d, 1860, the sum of $17,000
was voted for the purpose of building an additional wing for
cells, and on February 16th, 1861, a further sum of $2,243.01
was appropriated to complete the same. On April 16th, 1868,
$6,000 was appropriated for the building of an additional wing
to provide room for female convicts. An act passed April 2d,
1869, provided for the appointment of commissioners to extend
the grounds of the prison to the wall of the State Arsenal, to
build an additional wing and work shops, and made an appro-
priation of $50,000 for that purpose, and in the same month
$9,734 was appropriated for the purpose of completing the
wing of the female department. On April 4th, 1871, the sum
SOLDIERS' HOME AT NEWARK. 125
of $75,000 was appropriated for the purpose of completing the
new or east wing, and on April 4th, 1872, a further sum of
$28,700 was appropriated for the completion of the same.
March 3d, 1874, $12,000 was voted for the construction of gas
works for the supply of illuminating gas for the prison. On
March 8th, 1877, the sum of §100,000 was appropriated for
the enlargement of the prison and the purchase of a burial
ground for deceased convicts. The north wing was remodeled
out of this last appropriation, and a burial ground purchased.
Previous to the year 1798 there was no State Prison, and
prisoners were confined in the county jails. On March 1st,
1797, Jonathan Doane was appointed by an act of the Legis-
lature as an agent to purchase a lot of land from Peter Hunt,
situate at Lamberton, containing six and a half acres, and to
erect suitable buildings thereon. This was done at an expense
of £9,852 Os. 3d., and what is now the State Arsenal, at Second
and Cass streets, is the result. Solitary confinement was not
practiced previous to 1836, in which year the old orison was
vacated and the present one occupied.
SOLDIERS' HOME.
This institution is located in Kearny township, Hudson
county, to which place it was removed from Newark in 1888.
It was organized under a joint resolution of the Legislature
approved April 12th, 1862. The Home in Newark was opened
July 4th, 1866. The Legislatures of 1886 and 1887 appro-
priated §175,000 for the erection of a new Home, under the
direction of Commissioners appointed by the Legislature.
The present site, consisting of 17 j acres, was selected, and six
new and commodious buildings were erected thereon. The
Home has a frontage of 600 feet on the Passaic river, and
contains over three hundred inmates.
NEW JERSEY SCHOOL FOR DEAF-MUTES.
The New .Jersey School for Deaf-Mutes occupies the build-
ing and grounds formerly belonging to the Soldiers' Children's
Home, at the corner of Hamilton and Chestnut avenues,
Chambersburg, about a mile and a quarter from the State
Capitol. By an act of the Legislature, approved March 31st,
1882, this property was set apart for its present use, and a
Board of Trustees, consisting of the Governor, the State
Comptroller, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction
and eight other gentlemen, was appointed.
126 HOME FOR FEEBLE-MINDED WOMEN.
Under the provisions of this act and of another act, ap-
proved March 5th, 1883, the Board have made such re-
pairs, alterations and additions to the buildings as were
necessary for adapting them to the purposes of the new
institution, have furnished them suitably and placed the
grounds in thorough order.
The school opened in the fall of 1883, and shortly after-
wards contained about 90 pupils, though it is expected that
the attendance will ultimately reach 150, which is about
the number of such pupils whom the State has hitherto
been supporting in schools outside her own limits, and
which is the limit of the capacity of the present accom-
modations. Pupils are received between the ages of five
and twenty-one, and the length of the term allowed is
five years.
The object of the institution is to give to the afflicted
children, who are here received, a knowledge of the En-
glish language in its written, and, in the case of some pu-
pils, in its spoken form — a knowledge which, but for such
institutions, they would never acquire, and to instruct
them in the rudiments of an English education. They
are also trained to acquire such a degree of general intel-
ligence and of manual dexterity that they may become
self-supporting men and women. Their training also en-
ables moral forces to be brought to bear upon them with
the effect of raising them from a condition of moral irre-
sponsibility to the level of respectable citizens.
THE STATE INSTITUTION FOR FEEBLE-
MINDED T^T'OMEN, VINELAND
This institution was established under an act of March
27th, 1888, with Rev. S. O. Garrison as superintendent.
On November 15th, of the same year, he was succeeded
by Mary J. Dunlap, M.D. It is one of the most admir-
ably situated public buildings in the State. Lying nearly
opposite the Home for Feeble-Minded Children, and
facing Landis avenue, Vineland's main street of several
miles in length, it enjoys facilities of the city yet sur-
rounded by acres of fruit, vineyards and orchards. The
main building is well arranged, and a large annex was
erected in the winter of 1891-'92. It is a home for females

of twelve years of age and upwards. It is a fact that this
branch of State work is one of New Jersey's greatest
monuments. Though late in being recognized, it will
grow more and more in interest as its existence is better
known and a knowledge and inspection of its work made
and rightly understood.
NEW JERSEY TRAINING SCHOOL FOR
FEEBLE-MINDED CHILDREN,
VINELAND.
This institution is an outgrowth of a private one which
Rev. S. Olin Garrison established in Millville, Cumber-
land county, on September 1st, 1887. It was opened at
Vineland on March Ist, 1888 with an enrollment of ten
inmates. Adjacent properties were soon acquired and
a handsome building, costing about $18,000, was erected
in 1890-'91. There are eight cottages located on a farm
of one hundred acres. The wards of New Jersey are
now sent there.
The plan and scope of training and education by the
School, requires eight teachers in English, Kindergarten
and Manual Trades departments, thereby indicating the
special and comprehensive fields of instruction. There
is also a custodial department for the idiotic, and a hos-
pital department for epileptics.
The property is worth between $50,000 and $60,000,
with only a debt of $8,000. Besides very good property
acquisitions at low cost, at least $30,000 have been donated
to the school since its organization, to aid in the current
expenses, in improvements and new buildings.
One hundred and forty children over the age of five years,
residents chiefly of New Jersey, of which a few are private
patients, enjoyed the facilities of the school in 1891.

PARTY PLATFORMS.
DEMOCRATIC.
(Adopted at the State Convention held at Trenton, on Tuesday,
September 14th, 1892.)
The Democratic party of New Jersey, in convention
assembled, declare :
That they re-aflBrm the National Democratic Platform
adopted at Chicago, and enthusiastically endorse the
nomination of Grover Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson
for President and Vice-President of the United States.
That they endorse the administration of Governor
Leon Abbett.
As an answer to the slanders of those who have per-
sistently misrepresented the existing management of
State affairs, we call the attention of the people to the
following facts:
That the only permanent State officers to which any
salary or compensation is allowed, created by the Demo-
cratic party during the past three years, are as follows :
A Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, a Chief of
State Police, a State Board of Taxation, a State Board
for the Arbitration of Differences between Employers
and Employes, a Board of Commissioners of Electric
Subways, a Commissioner of Mines, a resident physician
at the State Prison, and a Superintendent of the School
Census. ^
The acts creating the office of the Commissioner of
Banking and Insurance, and Commissioners of Electric
Subways, provide that the expenses of these depart-
ments shall be paid, respectively, by the insurance and
telegraph companies doing business in this State. The
total of all salaries to be paid by the State to permanent
officers created by Democratic Legislatures during the
present administration is less than $15,000.
The pledge made in our State Platform of 1889, that
there should not be any general State tax imposed upon
the people, has been faithfully kept, and we renew the
promise then made that there shall not be any general
State tax imposed while the affairs of the State are
intrusted to the Democratic party. On January 1, 1889,
the floating debt of the State amounted to $400,000.
(155)
156 PARTY FLA T FORMS.
Every dollar of this has been paid, and over a quarter of
a million dollars expended for the improvement of pub-
lic buildings and the purchase of a camp ground at Sea
Girt. That these expenses have been met without the
imposition of a single dollar of direct State tax upon
the property of private owners, and without an increase
in the rate imposed upon the property of corporations,
supports the claim that the State Government of New
Jersey is the most economical in the Union.
That in pursuance of its pledge made in its platform of
1889, to legislate in the interest of labor, the Democratic
party has, during the present administration, through its
legislative representatives, enacted the following meas-
ures, all of which received the approval of a Democratic
Governor, to wit : — Acts which secure, beyond the reach
of fraud, the payment of wages to mechanics and others
engaged in the erection of buildings; an act providing
for sixty free scholarships in the State Agricultural Col-
lege; acts to authorize the establishment of free public
libraries and reading rooms in cities aud towns; an act
giving a lien for wages due and labor performed and
materials furnished in finishing silk and goods of which
silk is a component part; an act for the improvement of
the State Agricultural Experiment Station ; an act mak-
ing Saturday a half holiday; an act extending the pro-
visions of the mechanics' lien law to money due for labor
or materials furnished in the erection of public buildings;
an act prohibiting corporations from forcing their em-
ploy 63 to contribute to relief funds; an act creating a
State Board of Arbitration for the amicable adjustment
of grievances and disputes that may arise between em-
ployers and employes ; acts providing for absolute secrecy
in the exercise of the elective franchise ; an act providing
for a commissioner of mines to inspect all mines in this
State and to secure proper safe-guards for the protection
of the lives of men employed therein ; an act making
wages due workmen and laborers a first lien upon the
assets of insolvent corporations ; an act providing for the
incorporation of trades unions and labor organizations,
and other acts.
In dealing with the municipal government of the State,
the Democratic party has adopted the plan of vesting in
the Mayors of large cities the power of appointment of
municipal boards and officers, and we submit to the
people of the State that this plan of municipal govern-
ment is entitled to a thorough test in lights other than
those afforded by mere political partisanship. Under
PARTY PLATFORMS, 157
this system there is a concentration of personal and
political responsibility in a single office, the occupant of
which is choden by the votes of the entire city. The
plan is in no wise antagonistic to local self-government,
but, on the contrary, affords an incentive to citizens to
participate in municipal elections. Under it the grievous
evil of sectional strife for municipal patronage can be
avoided and economy enforced. While the plan is
necessarily imperfect, it is subject to amendment and
should be given a fair trial and receive impartial judg-
ment before a return is made to a system under which
responsibility is distributed and elusive. We denounce
all frauds perpetrated upon the elective franchise, and
we call the attention of the people to the fact that prose-
cution and punishment of those crimes have been the
work of a Democratic court and prosecutor and Dem-
ocratic jurors. We ask from fair-minded citizens a com-
parison of this fact with the action of a Republicaa
Senate, which voted to seat, as Senator from Hudson, a
man whom every one knew was not entitled to the office.
The action of that Senate was protected by constitutional
privilege; but it was none the less a crime.
The necessity for a diversion of the proceeds from the
sale of riparian lands from the school fund to funds
necessary to pay the expense of rebuilding the State
House and other extraordinary expenses having ceased,
we favor a repeal of the act allowing such diversion.
REPUBLICAN.
(Adopted at the State Convention held at Trenton, September 13th, 1892.)
The Republicans of New Jersey, through their repre-
sentatives assembled in convention, re-affirm their ad-
herence and undying devotion to the great principles of
the Republican party, to which the nation owes loDg
years of unexampled prosperity in the past, and through
which we look for its future greatness and honor.
We approve and endorse the declaration of principles
as set forth in the platform adopted by the Republican
National Convention at Minneapolis, June 9th, 1892.
We reaffirm oar belief in the doctrine of a tariff for
the protection of American industry, supplemented by
reciprocity, inaugurated by the present administration
under the McKinley tariff act, and we are opposed to the
pernicious doctrine of free trade, whether presented in
its own true name or disguised as tariff reform.
158 PARTY FLA TFORMS.
We repudiate the Democratic doctrine as enunciated
in the platform of that party, that " the Federal Govern-
ment has no constitutional power to impose and collect
tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only," and
as evidences of wise Republican legislation on this sub-
ject, we call attention to the general prosperity of the
country, the decreased prices of manufactured goods, the
increased value of agricultural products, and the increased
earnings of wage workers, as shown by statistics collected
and published by Democratic oflBcials, while, at the same
time, our commerce, instead of diminishing, as was pre-
dicted, has been greater than ever before.
We re-affirm our endorsement of the wise and able
administration of President Harrison, whose broad states-
manship in the treatment of every public question, whose
apt and patriotic utterances on all occasions, and whose
unerring accuracy of judgment and action in every
emergency have earned for him the title of the man who
never makes a mistake. The glorious past is an earnest
of a still more glorious future, and we want no change in
national affairs.
We denounce as utterly vicious and contrary to public
policy, the passage by the last Democratic Legislature,
under the direction of a Democratic Executive, with the
cooperation of members of the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee, of a bill to legalize an unconstitutional
and pernicious combination of corporations engaged in
the production and carrying of coal, as the result of which
the prices of this necessary commodity have been in-
creased, and the burdens of consumers have been vastly
augmented. We remind the people that this legislation
affects not only men of wealth and the great industries
of the State, but increases the cost of living to that more
numerous class who are compelled to meet the increased
burden out of the proceeds of their daily toil.
Resolved, That labor and capital should be allies, not
enemies. We favor arbitration and profit sharing as
remedies for idleness, want and suffering, and tending to
secure peace, plenty and prosperity to our people. We
favor reduction in the hours of labor. We favor tene-
ment house and factory inspection in the interest of
health and morals.
We favor the passage of an act restoring the proceeds
of the sale of riparian lands to the School Fund of the
State.
We are opposed to an administration of the State
Government for personal uses; to the subserviency of
PRESIDENTIAL TICKETS. 159
the Legislature and the courts to Executive dictation;
to the abolition by the Legislature, under executive
orders, of local home government ; to the multiplication
of public offices and the increase of salaries, for the
furtherance of personal and political ends; to the ap-
pointment of public officers for a stated consideration to
be paid to the party campaign fund ; to the indiscrimi-
nate and wholesale pardon of convicts in the State Prison ;
to the unheard-of extravagance of the present State
administration in the expenditure of public money ; to
clothing the Governor with dictatorial powers by acts of
a Legislature obsequiously subject to executive control ;
to the creation of unnecessary boards and commissions
for partisan purposes, investing them with arbitrary
powers and placing them beyond the control of the peo-
ple by making their term of office subject to the will of
the Governor; to evasions and misconstructions of the
constitution by the chief executive to secure political and
personal support; to the countenance and support by
State officers and party leaders of race-track gambling,
with all its attendant evils; to the destruction of the
right of suffrage by false registry, ballot-box stuffing and
fraudulent count of votes; and to the general maladmin-
istration of public affairs which, in these and other mat-
ters during the current administration, have brought
shame and disgrace upon the State.
We pledge ourselves to the thorough reform of these
evils, and we appeal to all patriotic voters in the State to
aid us in the re-establishment of a government of which
Jerseymen need not be ashamed.
Resolved, That we are in favor of the principle of home
rule by all peoples everywhere; and especially do we
favor the extension of this principle to the local govern-
ments in New Jersey.
Resolved, That we indorse the principles set forth in the
communication from the colored voters of New Jersey,
in convention assembled, in Trenton, on September 12th,
1892, and that Charles N. Robinson, of Camden, be added
to the Republican State Committee, as desired by said
convention.

BIOGRAPHIES.
GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY.
George T. Werts.
Governor Werts was born at Hackeltstown, Warren county,
N. J., March 24th, 1846, He lived there until his parents
moved to Bordentown, in 1849. His father was Peter Werts,
who died about nine years ago, and his mother was sister of
the late Attorney-General Jacob Vanatta. The Governor
attended the Bordentown High School and the State Model
School at Trenton, and at the age of seventeen went to
Morristown to study law with Mr. Vanatta. He was admitted
to the bar at the November Term, 1867, and began the practice
of law in Morristown. He was Recorder of that town from
May, 1883, to May, 1885, and was Mayor from 1886 until his
resignation in February, 1892. He was Senator from Morris
county from 1886, and until he resigned in February, 1892,
to accept the office of Justice of the Supreme Court, to which
he was appointed by Governor Abbett, and his nomination
was at once confirmed by a unanimous vote of the Senate.
He took the place of the late Justice Knapp, of the Hudson
county circuit.
During the legislative session of 1889, Governor Werts
served as President of the Senate, when he discharged the
duties of that office with marked ability and impartiality.
While a member of the Senate, he drafted the Liquor and
the Ballot Reform laws. He always took a prominent part
in legislation, and during several sessions he was the leader
of his party on the floor of the Senate.
He was elected Governor in 1892 by a plurality of 7,625
votes over John Kean, Jr. He occupied his seat on the
bench during the whole of the campaign, and personally
took no part in it beyond writing his letter of acceptance of
the nomination, which had been unanimously tendered to
him by the Democratic State Convention.

UNITED STATES SENATORS.
John Rhoderic McPherson.
Senator McPherson was born at York, Livingston county,
New York, on the nintli of May, 1833. He received a com-
mon-school and academic education. Leaving the academy
when eighteen years old, he engaged in farming and stock-
raising, ill which, by dint of hard work, he was moderately
successful, until he became a resident of Jersey City, in 1858.
Here he entered largely into the live-stock trade, and very
soon became one of the most prominent dealers. He invented,
perfected and put into practice new and hitherto unknown
devices and principles in the treatment of animal matter.
He designed and put in operation in this country the great
abattoir system in use in France, and improved it in many
material ways. Senator McPherson was a member of the
Board of Aldermen of Jersey City from 1864 to 1870, and
for more than three years of that time he was President of
the Board. He established in that city the People's Gas
Ligiit Company, and was elected its President. He was also
President of several savings banks. In 1871 he was elected
to the New Jersey Senate by an unu.sually large majority,
and served for three years with great credit to his county and
State. In 1876 he was a Presidential elector, when the State
went for Tilden by a very large majority. In 1877 he was
elected a United States Senator to succeed Hon. F. T. Freling-
huysen. He was re-elected in 1883 and again in 1889. He
is the only New Jersey Senator who has ever served a third
term. In 1884 he was a delegate to the National Democratic
Convention, at Chicago, and supported Thomas F. Bayard
for the Presidency, but when Cleveland was nominated he
gave him his hearty support. He was also a delegate to the
National Democratic Conventions held at St. Louis, in 1888,
and at Chicago, in 1892, when he supported Cleveland for
the nomination each time. His term as United States Senator
expires on March 3d, this year, and he will be succeeded by
a Republican.
James Smith, Jr.
Senator Smith was born in 1851, at Newark, N. J., and
was educated at private schools in his native city up to the
time he went to college at Wilmington, Del. After graduat-
ing he located in New York in the dry goods business, his

father having been in this line for many years in the same
city. He did not like the business, however, and soon
returned to Newark, where he engaged in the manufacturing
of patent and enameled leather He is now the sole owner
of one of the largest concerns in that line of business in the
country, and the product of his factories is shipped to all
parts of this country and Europe. The business is conducted
under the firm name of J. H. Halsey & Smith. It has
earned the reputation of manufacturing the finest carriage
leathers in the world. Mr. Smith's first political office was
that of Councilman of the city of Newark, having been
elected in 1883, Avhen the Council was a tie. While the
ward he ran in was Republican, he was elected by more
majority than the Republican candidate received votes. He
at once became a leader, and in the following fall he was
unanimously nominated for Mayor, notwithstanding that he
wrote a letter to the convention that he would not accept.
He stood by that letter, and declined the nomination, where-
upon the convention was reconvened and Mayor Haynes Avas
named.
Mr. Smith was President of the Board of Public Works
of the city of Newark from the time of its creation and until
a short period after he was elected United States Senator,
when he resigned. Previous to his connection wi'h that
Board he had declined several offices which had been
tendered to him by his party. He was nominated for United
States Senator, to succeed Mr. Blodgett, in 1893, by a unani-
mous vote of the caucus, and he received every Democratic
vote in each house on Tuesday, January 24th, when the
election was held, the Republicans voting for General William
J. Sewell. The vote stood— Senate: Smith, 16; Sewell, 5 ;
House : Smith, 39 ; Sewell, 21.
Senator Smith's rise in politics has been rapid and remark-
able. In a period of ten years he was advanced from the
office of Alderman to that of United States Senator. He has
always been a zealous and an active Democrat, and during
recent years he has been recognized as a prominent leader of
his party. His term as United States Senator will expire on
March 3d, 1899.

the foot of Greene street, Jersey City, as an apprentice at
iron moulding, and at the age of seventeen he was a journey-
man iron moulder. He continued at his trade until the age of
nineteen, working in the meantime in the Erie foundry and
at Blackmore's foundry, on Railroad avenue. Mr. Daly,
while engaged at his trade, was always ambitious to becorne
a lawyer, and at the time of the great strike on the Erie rail-
road, in 1870, was working in the Erie foundry and went
out with the other moulders. Being then out of employ-
ment, he entered the law ofiice of S. B. Ransom and ex- Judge
Blair, in Jersey City, as a student of law. In May, 1871,
and in June, 1874, he was admitted to the bar respectively as
attorney and counselor. Since that time he has practiced law

in and has tried as many capital cases on the part of the
defense as any lawyer in the State. Among the noted crimi-

Disque, for the killing of his wife. He also defended young
Schlemmer, who, in a fit of jealous passion, in August, 1887,
shot his wife and was sentenced to be executed. Mr. Daly
carried this case to the highest courts, obtained a new trial
and saved his client's life.

the opinion of experienced observers Mr. Usher's election
by such a large majority was one of the remarkable incidents
in a campaign in which so many of the candidates of his
party were defeated. Mr. Usher never held public office be-
fore his election to the Assembly. He has always been a con-
sistent Democrat and is known to be scrupulously attentive
to his political duties, holding that every one should be

the people. In the Legislature of 1894 Mr. Usher served

in the year 1841, of an Irish father and an American mother
of Scotch descent. He was educated in the district school of
Richmond, and at a select boarding school near Belleville,
Essex county, N. J. In 1854 he removed to Hoboken, N. J.,
and entered the law office of Hon. J. Dunn Littell, remaining
there until the decease of his instructor, which occurred in
1857. He then entered into mercantile pursuits as a clerk.
He began his military career in February, 1860, as a private in
Company B. First Regiment, Hudson Brigade. At the break-
ing out of the War of the Rebellion he enlisted as a private
in Company I, First New Jersey Volunteers, attached to
Kearny's Brigade, Army of the Potomac, and was advanced
to the grades of Corporal and Sergeant respectively, passing
a creditable examination for proinotion just previous to the
battle of Gaines' Mills. At this engagement he was twice
wounded, slightly in the left arm during the early part, and
severely during the latter part of the fight. Left on the
field of battle, he was taken prisoner and confined in Libby
Prison until exchanged. He was discharged from the United
States service at McKim's Mansion Hospital, Baltimore, Md.,
by reason of physical disability caused by gun-shot wounds
received in battle. He returned home, and, after a period of
four months, was capable of resuming his position in New
York City as a salesman.
In the year 1867 he removed to Trenton, and embarked in
the hosiery and furnishing goods business, which he still
carries on. General Donnelly re-entered the military ser-
vice of New Jersey, March 18th, 1879, as paymaster of the
Seventh Regiment, National Guard. He was promoted
Major, January 20th, 1881 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, May 31st,
1882, and Colonel, September 7th, 1882. He was appointed

Quartermaster-General by Governor Green, January 13th,
1890, which appointment was sent to the Senate by Gov-
ernor Abbett, and unanimously confirmed by that body March
6th, 1890.
General Donnelly was selected by Governor Ludlow as the
Major of the provisional battalion which distinguished itself
at Yorktown, at the centennial celebration in 1881, and was
proffered by Governor Green the command of the veteran
camp at Gettysburg, during the ceremonies of the unveiling of
the monuments, in 1888, to the New Jersey heroes of the
battle of Gettysburg, which he was obliged to decline in con-
sequences of other engagements. He was Chairman of the
Board of Commissioners to select grounds and erect buildings
for the new Soldiers' Home at Kearny, which was completed
a few years ago. He was appointed a Trustee of the New
Jersey State Reform School at Jamesburg, by Governor
Abbett, in 1885. He was re-appointed by the joint meeting
of the Legislature, in 1888. He is one of the Managers of
the Home for Disabled Soldiers, having been appointed by
Governor Green, on the recommendation of the Chief Justice,
to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Hon. Rynear H.
Veghte. In addition to the management of a large mercan-
tile business, General Donnelly is interested in several stock
companies and land associations as a director, notwithstand-
ing which, he gives time to many beneficial and social
societies to which he is attached, and indulges in a fair
amount of healthful outdoor recreation, which receives his
encouragement. Taking the statement of the press tliough-
out, the appointment of General Donnelly as Quartermaster-
General gave much satisfaction, especially to the National
Guard and the Grand Army of the Republic, of which latter
organization he is also an active member, being a Past Com-
mander of Aaron Wilkes Post, No. 23. In 1892 he was
chosen Commander of the G. A. R., Department of New
Jersey.
The office of Quartermaster-General carries with it the
responsible positions of Commissary-General, Paymaster-
General and Chief of Ordnance. Salary, $1,200.
General Donnelly is a Democrat in politics. He was twice
elected to the House of Assembly, and has served two terms
as Mayor of the city of Trenton.
Clerk of the Supreme Court.
Benjamin F. Lee, Trenton.
Mr. Lee was born in Port Elizabeth, Cumberland county,
N. J., in 1828. His father, Hon. Thomas Lee, was a promi-
274 BIOGRAPHIES,
nent public man, having served several terms in Congress and
the State Legislature, and been a successful merchant in Port
Elizabeth, where he died in 1856. The Hon. Thomas Lee
was a brother of Colonel Francis Lee, of the Regular Army,
and a graduate of West Point, who distinguished himself in
the Mexican War, and the father of Dr. Thomas Lee, a
surgeon in the Regular Army, who died in 1838 from disease
contracted in tlie Florida War. This branch of the Lee
family are descendants of the Lees and Alexanders (Scotch
and Irish) who emigrated to this country prior to the Revo-
lution.
The subject of this sketch finished a thorough English
education under the tutorship of John Gummere, at Bur-
lington, in 1845, and immediately entered his father's store,
at Port Elizabeth, as partner. In time he succeeded the firm
of Thomas and Benjamin F. Lee, and finally, in 1860, retired
from the business altogether. In 1863 he was elected
Treasurer of the Cape May and Millville Railroad Company,
and in 1866 Treasurer of the West Jersey Marl and Trans-
portation Company, which position he resigned upon enter-
ing on the duties of CJerk of the Supreme Court. He was
for several years a Director of the State Agricultural Society
of New Jersey. Like his father, he was always an earnest
and active supporter of the Democratic doctrine, and took
an active part in politics In 1856 he was a Presidential
Elector, and had served a term on the State Central Com-
mittee. In 1858 his friends of the First District presented
his name in convention for nomination for Congress, and he
received thirty-nine of the forty-one votes necessary to a
choice. He was afterwards nominated for the Legislature
from this district, which was largely Republican, and after an
exciting contest, was defeated by only three votes. In 1870
Mr. Lee was nominated for Congress in the First District.
The district usually gave 3,700 Republican majority, and
that year about 1,500 colored voters were added, making nearly
6,000 to overcome, but he was defeated by only 1,800 votes.
This was the first inroad made upon the large Republican
majority in the district. In the Gubernatorial Convention
that nominated Hon. Joel Parker, in 1871, Mr. Lee received
118 votes as a candidate for Governor— the entire strength of
his district. In 1872 he was appointed, by Governor Parker,
Clerk of the Supreme Court, which appointment was unani-
mously confirmed by the Senate. In 1877 he was re-appointed
by Governor Bedle, and his appointment had the singular
and unusual compliment of a confirmation by the Senate
without the customary reference to a committee ; and again
in 1882, he was similarly honored by Governor Ludlow and
BIOGRAPHIES. 275
the Senate, thus giving him a third term. And again in
1887, he was re appointed by Governor Green and unani-
mously confirmed by the Senate, and in 1892 by Governor
Abbett, and the Senate paid him a similar compliment He
is at present Treasurer of the Democratic State Committee.
His present term expires November 2d, 1897.
Clerk in Chancery.
AiiLAN Langdon McDermott, Jersey City.
Mr. McDermott was born in South Boston, Mass., on the
30th of March, 1854. His father was Hugh Farrer McDer-
mott, who, to use the language of the memorial resolutions
adopted by the New York Press Club, on his decease, in 1890,
" in the wide scope of his literary labors, as journalist,
dramatist, author and poet, made a conspicuous place and
earned enduring fame for himself." His mother's maiden
name was Annie J. Langdon, and she was of one of the oldest
families in New England. In 1870 the subject of this sketch
determined to follow journalism, and, as a preliminary step,
learned to set type and run a press. A few verses published
in a Boston paper, and reprinted in the Nevj York Telegram,
in 1870, show that Mr. McDermott had a very narrow escape
from a literary tomb. In 1876 he gntered the law school of
the University of the City of New York, and was graduated
the following year, delivering an essay on " The Sanction of
the Law," at the commencement exercises, held at the
Academy of Music, in June, 1877. The same year he was
admitted to the bar of New Jersey, becoming a counselor in
1880. While he was a student in the office of the late Leon
Abbett, there Avas formed a friendship between preceptor and
pupil which had grown with the years, and had on more than
one occasion evidenced a steadfastness which is rarely found
in the harsh lines of political association. In 1878 Mr.
McDermott was defeated as a candidate for Assembly from
the Fourth District of Hudson county, but was elected in
1879 and 1880, and in 1881 was the Democratic candidate for
Speaker of that body. From 1878 to 1883 he was Corpora-
tion Attorney of Jersey City, resigning that position when
appointed Judge of the Second District Court, by Governor
Ludlow. In 1884 Governor Abbett appointed Mr. McDer-
mott a member of the State Board of Assessors. In that
position he formulated the rules which have ever since been
followed in the taxation of railroad property and corporate
franchises in New Jersey. In 1886 Governor Abbett nomi-

nated him to his present position. In communicating the
fact to the Legislature, the late ex-United States Senator
Cattell, also a member of the State Board, wrote : " Tlie Hon.
Allan L. McDermott, one of the original members of the
Board, was, during the last session of the Legislature,
appointed and confirmed as Clerk in the Court of Chancery,
and, on the 1st of April, resigned as a member of this Board,
to enter upon his new position. Much of the success of the
early work of this Board is due to the intelligent and faithful
service of Mr. McDermott, largely supplemented by his legal
knowledge, which was invaluable. The Board parted with
him most regretfully, and we are free to say that in our judg-
ment it will be difficult to find one who will in all respects
fill his place." In* 1884, '85 and '86 Mr. McDermott was
President of the Board of Finance and Taxation of Jersey
City. Upon his retirement from that position, the Argus
said: "The withdrawal of Allan L. McDermott from the
management of our municipal finances is a public calamity.
His clear head, his honesty of purpose and untiring energy
have rendered him of inestimable value to our city. He has
introduced and enforced rigid principles of economy in our
local expenditures, and has, with the aid of his colleagues,
established an admirable financial system, which has placed
our credit above cavil or suspicion." He was renominated for
Clerk in Chancery, in 1891, by Governor Abbett. In 1892
Mr. McDermott was, because of dissatisfaction with the exist-
ing local government, defeated in a canvass for the Mayoralty
of Jersey City. In 1894 he was nominated by Governor
Werts as a member of the Commission appointed to revise
the State Constitution. He has been Chairman of the State
Democratic Committee since 1886, and has drawn every plat-
form, with one exception, adopted by a State Democratic
Convention during that time. His term of office expires
March 29th, 1896.
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Addison B. Poland, Jersey City.
Dr. Poland was originally a New England man. He was
born at Winchendon, Worcester county, Massachusetts
March 26th, 1851. His boyhood was divided between the
farm and the "district school" where his studies began.
After leaving the village High School of his native place he
was prepared for college at the AVilbraham^ Academy, and
was admitted to Wesleyan University, at Middletown, Con-
necticut, at the early age of 17. After leaving college h«

was made Principal of the Ashburnham, Massachusetts, High
School. From the above place he was called to the principal-
ship of the Salisbury, Massachusetts, High School. He re-
signed the latter position to take up the study of the law with
the Hon. George F. Verry, Mayor of Worcestor, Massachusetts,
but the following year a tempting offer caused him to return
to teaching and take the principalship of the Day Street
Grammar School of Fitchburg, Massachusetts. From this
position he was soon promoted to the principalship of the
High School at Ilion, New York, whence he was appointed
to the principalship of the Jersey City High School. After
holding this position for nearly three years with the same
marked ability and success, he was appointed to the Superin-
tendency of the Jersey City public schools in 1887.
In the latter po-ition he showed a force and tact which,
combined with his large educational experience and study,
enabled him to carry forward the work of that city in a
manner that won the highest compliments of the Board of
Education and the people. The degree of M.A. was con-
ferred upon him by Wesley an University in 1876, and that
of Ph.D. by the tloiversity of the City of New York, in
1890. He is at present an associate editor of the " Educational
Eeview," the leading school publication of America. He
has always taken a great interest in the educational work of
the Bute. He is an active member of the New Jersey
Council of Education, and was unanimously elected Presi-
dent of the State Teachers' Association for the year 1892.
He enjoys the confidence of educational men throughout the
country, and his appointment to and acceptance of his
present office were asked for by nearly every prominent
educational man in the State, he himself not seeking the
position. His term will expire on March 1st, 1895.
State Prison Keeper.
John H. Patterson, Trenton.
Mr. Patterson was bom in the to^vnship of Middletown,
Monmouth county, N. J., March 12th, 1834, on the farm that
had been owned and occupied by his ancestors almost from
the first settlement of the country. His gran'l father was
surveyor and one of the commissioners that located the Dela-
ware and Karitan canal, was a member of the Assembly and
Council (now Senate), and was one of the Judges of the Mon-
mouth County Court for thirty-two years. His father, James
Patterson^ was an active business man. He was Director of
278 BIOGRAPHIES.
the Board of Chosen Freeholders of Monmouth county for
seventeen years, was a member of the Assembly and Council,
and President of the Council during the administration of
Governor Pennington. Four of the Prison Keeper's brothers
were graduates of college, one from Princeton, one from
Madison U-niversity, of New York, and two from Columbia.
The old people, in former years, did not consider in necessary
for their children to have a collegiate education, except to
enter a profession, as they termed it, and they believed a
common-scliool education was all that was necessary for a
farrner. Consequently, John H. was sent to a district' school
until he was thirteen years of age, when he went to work on
the farm. In the summer he learned all kinds of farm work,
and attended school in the winter. Before he was twenty
years of age he caught the gold fever, then raging in Cali-
fornia, and, much against the wishes of his people, he deter-
mined to migrate, and left Xew York in April, 1853, on the
old ship " Illinois," commanded by Capt. Herndon, for San
Francisco, and arrived there about May 1st. He started at
once for Northern Californa, and, arriving in Shasta, engaged
in mining and shipping goods from that place to the different
mining camps He returned home in the winter of 1856, at
the earnest solicitation of his father, who was growing old,
and located on the homestead of his ancestors on the north
bank of the Shrewsbury river, Monmouth county, where he
has since been engaged in farming, oystering, and the lime
and vessel business. His grandfather and father were both
Jeftersonian Democrats. The fir&t vote Mr. Patterson cast
was for John Bigler, the second time he ran for Governor of
California, when he was defeated by Neilly Johnson, the
Know-Nothing candidate; and for Josepli McKibben, who
was elected to Congress, and who at one time was one of the
proprietors of the Girard House, Philadelphia. Mr. Patter-
son was a member of the State Convention of California that
selected delegates to the Baltimore Convention which nomi-
nated James Buchanan for the Presidency. He was always
active in politics in his own county, andwas nominated for
Sheriff' in 1868, was elected for one year, and re-elected for
two years. In 1872 he was nominated for Congress over
Kobert S. Green, late Governor, and Hon. Miles Ross, who
were candidates before the Conveniion. This was during
the celebrated Greeley campaign, and owing to dissension
in the party, caused by the nomination of Mr. Greeley, there
was then only one Democrat elected to Congress in the State.
Mr. Patterson was badly defeated, and he has often Avished
that either of his competitors had carried off" the honors.
When the Democrats gained the ascendancy in the Forty-
BIOGRAPHIES. 279
fourth Congress, Mr. Fitzhugh, of Texas, was elected Door-
keeper of the House of Representatives. He was very soon
removed, and Mr. Patterson was appointed to the position.
He was a candidate for re-election, but, in the distribution of
the patronage this office was conceded to the South, and
Colonel Polk, nephew of ex-President Polk, and a conspicuous
Confederate Army officer, was chosen in his stead, but was
removed two months afterwards for irregularities in office.
Mr. Patterson returned to his farm and business, Avhich
engrossed his attention until he received the appointment of
Keeper of the New Jersey State Prison from Governor
Abbett, which was unanimously confirmed by the Senate.
He was re-appointed in 1891.
His salary is |3 500 per year, and his term expires April
22d, 1896.
State Prison Supervisor.
Edward J. Anderson, Somerville.
Major Anderson, who was born at Flemington, Hunterdon
county, N. J., December 15th, 1830, is of pre-Revolutionary
stock. His great-grandfather, on his father's side, was a
native of the Colonies, and held an office in the British ser-
vice prior to the Revolution, but joined the patriot cause on
the breaking out of hostilities, and fought through the war
on the side of liberty. On his mother's side the Major's
earliest ancestor in this country was Samuel Fleming, who,
in 1756, founded and gave his name to Flemington, the
county seat of Hunterdon county, and whose daughter,
Esther, married Colonel Thomas Lowrey, who commanded a
regiment of the New Jersey contingent troops during the
Revolutionary War, subsequently held many important public
trusts in this State, and in 1790 was designated by the Legis-
lature as a member of the Commission which selected the
site upon which the present State Capitol stands. His son,
William Lowrey, was also an officer of the New Jersey
troops during the Revolutionary War, and his daughter was
the grandmother of the subject of this present sketch.

engaged in mercantile pursuits in Philadelphia, Pa., until
the breaking out of the Civil War, when he returned to New
Jersey and was appointed principal assistant in the Adjutant-
General's Department of the State, which position he held
until the close of the war, when he resigned and engaged in
business in New York City, retaining, however, his residence
in New Jersey. In 1871 he was appointed first assistant in

emigrated to America from Ireland in the latter part of the
seventeenth century. His maternal grandfather, John S.
Stevenson, was a prominent merchant, farmer and stump
speaker, and during the late war was a staunch Confederate.
Private Secretary McMaster was educated at the Pocomoke
City High School, attended Delaware College, at Newark, for
one year, and for two years afterward taught school at his
native home. He then attended Lafayette College, at Easton,
Pa , where he graduated in 1883 as Latin Salutatorian, with
the degree of A B. After graduating he located at Morris-
town, N. J., and for the next five years taught mathematics
and the natural sciences in the Morris Academy at that
place — a boys' preparatory school. While in Morristown he
studied law with Vice Chancellor Pitney and later at the
University of Virginia, and was admitted \o the bar in 1888
as an attorney-at-law and in three years as a counselor at-law.
For a short while he practiced law with Mahlon Pitney, at
Dover, N. J., before going to Jersey City, in the fall of 1889.
Among his first cases in Jersey City he was one of the coun-
sel for Mayor Cleveland, in the celebrated contested election
case of Perkins vs. Cleveland. On April 1st, 1892, he became
a member of the law firm of Dickinson, Thompson & Mc-
Master, of No. 1 Exchange Place, Jersey City. Mr. McMaster
seived as Private Secretary to President Werts, of the Senate,
in 1889, and in a similar capacity to Speaker Heppenheimer,
of the House, in 1890, and to President Adrain, of the

Senate, in 1891 and 1892. Governor Werts, as soon as he
took the oath of office, appointed Mr. McMaster his Private
Secretary.
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics of Labor
and Industries.
Charles H. Simmerman, Trenton.
Mr. Simmerman was born in the year 1836 on a farm near
Pitman Grove, Gloucester county, N. J. His father died
when Mr. Simmerman was only six years of age, leaving his
mother with five children to care for. Before the subject
of this sketch was eight years old he was put to work on a
farm in Salem county, and from that early age until he was
twelve he earned his living by the labor of his hands. When
he was fourteen years of age he went to work as a tending-
boy in the glassworks at Glassboro, where he afterward
became an apprentice at glassblowing and worked at the trade
for twenty-five years. His opportunities for education were
limited to a quarter's schooling in the winter season while he
lived on the farm, and about two months in the summer in
the public school at Glassboro while he remained a tending-
boy ; but he does not remember the time when he could not
read and write, for his mother taught him these rudiments,
so that when he was separated from her at eight years of age
he was able to carry on a correspondence with her.
In 1867 he was elected a member of the Board of School
Trustees of Salem. In 1875 he was elected a member of the
Board of City Assessors in Camden by 256 majority. He was
the Democratic candidate for Congress in the First District
of New Jersey in 1876, when he received 800 more votes
than Mr. Tilden, who ran for President of the United States.
In 1878 he was instrumental in having the Bureau of Statis-
tics of Labor and Industries instituted ; three years afterward
he became Secretary of the Bureau, and in 1893 he was
appointed Chief by Governor Werts. He was a member of
the first union ever instituted in his trade, and when he was
an apprentice and only twenty years of age, and from that
time until the present, he has taken an active interest in labor
matters.

Custodian of the Capitol.
John H. Bonnell.
Mr. Bonnell was born in Newton, Sussex county, N. J.,
January 5th, 1849, which was his home until 1873, when he
removed to Newark, N. J. In 1887 he was elected Superin-
tendent of the Court House at Newark, N. J., by the Repub-
lican Board of Freeholders, which office he held for three
years. He was appointed Supervisor of the Census of Essex
county for 1890, and at the close of the census work he was
appointed by Charles Foster, Secretary of the Treasury, to a
position in the customs service, which position he held until
Grover Cleveland was elected President ; he then sent in his
resignation, which was accepted in due time. He has always
been very closely identified with the interests of the Repub-
lican party, and is an active member of the Republican
Indian League of New Jersey, and is serving his fifth term
as Treasurer of that organization. He was appointed Custo-
dian of the Capitol in 1894, and his salary is $2,000 a year.

THE NEW JERSEY STATE NORMAL
AND MODEL SCHOOLS.
These schools are the property of the State, and are located
at the junction of Perry street and Clinton avenue, Trenton.
There are two buildings, the one for the schools located on the
west side of Clinton avenue, the other, containing the board-
ing halls and dormitories, situated on the east side of the
avenue. These schools were established in 1855 by an act of
the Legislature. The purpose of the Normal School was
defined to be, "the training and education of its pupils in
such branches of knowledge, and such methods of teaching
and governing, as will qualify them for teachers of our
common schools." The Model School was designed to be a
place where "the pupils of the Normal School shall have
320 STATE DEPARTMENTS,
opportunity to observe and practice the modes of instruction
and discipline inculcated in the Normal School, and in which
pupils may be prepared for the Normal School."
The following figures show the original cost and present
valuation of the Normal School property :
Original cost of Normal and Model School buildings, with
lot ?72,0C0
Estimated value of furniture, books, &c 8,000
Value of boarding halls 65,000
Value of boarding hall furniture 10,000
§155,000
The above original values have appreciated till the tables
should now read as follows :
Former Normal and Model buildings $60,000
Former school furniture, apparatus, &c 8,000
Lot 115,000
Appropriation of 1890 for new building 40,000

The enrollments in 1855 were as follows : Normal School,
43 ; Model School, 125. For the year ending June 30th,
1894, these enrollments had increased to 525 in the Normal
and 586 in the Model. During its history the Normal School
has graduated 1,643 students, and these, together with the
number who were able to take but part of the course, have,
as teachers, exercised a large influence over the educational
system of the State. A goodly number of these graduates
are now occupying positions as Principals and Superintendents
in the cities and towns of the State. The Model has exer-
cised a large influence as a pattern for other schools in the
commonwealth. The courses of study in both the Normal
and Model departments are kept in harmony with the leading
educational thought of the day. Both schools receive pupils
from all parts of the State. ' The law provides that each
member of the Legislature shall be entitled to at least six
reprasentatives in the Normal School. The State appro-
priates §28,000 annually for the support of the schools, and
the earnings of the Model School for tuition during the year
closing June 30th, 1894, were $26,309.63. This school is

STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
STATE BOARD OP AGRICULTURE.
President, vacancy ; Vice President, E. B. Voorhees, New
Brunswick; Treasurer, D. D. Denise, Freehold; Secretary,
Franklin Dye, Trenton ; Executive Committee, William K.
Lippincott, Fellowship ; H. F. Bodine, Locktown ; Theodore
F. D. Baker, Bridgeton ; also the President, Vice President,
Secretary and Treasurer.
A part of the work of the Board, as stated in the law, is
"to collect and disseminate reliable and useful information,
and to encourage a higher standard in the agriculture and
horticulture of the State; to investigate such subjects relating
to the improvement of land and agriculture, in its various
branches in this State, as the Executive Committee may think
proper ; to cause to be made, experimental and practical, tests
of specific remedies or cures of diseases of domestic animals
and poultry, and of plants, vegetables and fruits, and of insects
injurious thereto; and to employ suitable persons to lecture
before the State Board of Agriculture at its annual or other
meetings, and in the counties of the State as far as the sum
herein appropriated will allow."
The act provides, also, for the organization of County Boards
of Agriculture in the several counties. These are auxiliary to
the State Board, and are a means of disseminating agricul-
tural information among the farmers thus organized. All
farmers of the State can become members of the County Boards
if they desire to, and through them have representation in the
State Board. The State Board is now extending its lecture
work in the County Boards and in Farmers' Institutes.
There are eighteen County Boards now organized, also a
State Horticultural Society aud a State Poultry Association.
The meetings of these societies are proving their value as a
means of practical information on all questions connected with
the improvement of the farm, stock, dairy, fruit and market-
garden interests of the State, as is shown by increased member-
ship and attendance.
All these societies, except the Poultry Association, receive
financial aid from the State Board appropriation, amounting
to from $1,000 to $1,800 annually.
The market value of lands now devoted to farming pur-
poses varies in ditferent parts of the State, running from $30
to $60, $80 and $100 per acre, being cheaper in New Jersey,
considering all the advantages, than any other State in the
Union, The number of farms in the State is 34,307, having
an average size of 85 acres. (Census of 1880.)
During the past year most farm crops in the State were
§84 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
below the usual average yield. Late wet spring followed by
protracted drought contributed to this result.
The average yield per acre of farm crops in New Jersey for
1893, as taken from the U. S. Department of Agriculture Re-
port, is : Corn, 26.4 bushels — the lowest by 10 bushels for years,
owing to adverse weather ; wheat, 14.5 bushels ; rye, 13.4 bush-
els; oats, 23.9 bushels; buckwheat, 13.4 bushels; white pota-
toes, 73 bushels ; sweets, 97 bushels ; pears and grapes gave
good crops ; apples were much below an average yield ;
peaches, an excessive yield, which reduced both quality and
price. There has been a reduction in the acreage of cereals
in the State during the last decade amounting to 172,018 acres,
or 22.24 per cent. Other crops, as dairy products, fruit, pota-
toes and market-garden crops, are being substituted. The pro-
duct of the dairy especially is increasing rapidly each year.
Number and value of farm animals in the State in 1893 :
Horses, 83,321 ; value, ^7,105,037. Mules, 8,296 ; value, $843,-
644. Milch cows, 190,734 ; value, $6,713,837. Oxen and other
cattle, 52,641 ; value, $1,532,272. In 1892— Sheep, 102,077 ;
value, $413,922. Swine, 190,547 ; value, $1,758,746. A total
valuation of $18,367,458.
The canning business is large, in which New Jersey leads
every other State but one.

States census. New Jersey makes the largest showing of any
State in the Union in proportion to its size. Of florists' estab-

PUBLIC ROADS. 885
Concerning the immense fruit, dairy and poultry products
of the State there are no statistics, as there is no State law
enabling the State Board of Agriculture to collect this valua-
ble information.
The demand made for the Annual Keports of the Board is
increasing from year to year as their value and its work be-
come better known. About five thousand copies are distribu-
ted each year in New Jersey, and it is called for in almost
every other State in the Union, in Canada, England, France,
Germany, New Zealand and Japan.
THE PUBLIC ROADS.
Edwaed Burrough, Commissioner, Merchantville.
Commissioner Burrough in his report says :
The first practical operations for improved stone roadways
in New Jersey began in Essex county more than twenty
years ago, under a special law, and that county, though only
12 miles square, has built more than 200 miles of fine Telford
and Macadam roads, many of them boulevards.
Inspired by the example of Essex county and the many
advantages thereby secured to it, and impatient at the delay
in obtaining direct State aid for the construction of improved
roadways, the adjoining county of Union procured the pas-
sage of a general law allowing counties to issue bonds for
road purposes, which is familiarly known as the Union
County law, under the provisions of which the county bor-
rowed $455,000 at 4 per cent, on 5.20 bonds, and covered the
county with a complete system of Telford and Macadam
roads, and with the interest of this sum added to the annual
tax levy the rate of taxation is lower than before the build-
ing of the roads.
Under the old road system, or rather lack of system, the
ofiice of overseer of the roads became a sinecure, and the
money voted for the repairing of the roads was wasted in far
too many instances. There are about 202 townships outside
the counties of Hudson, Essex, Bergen, Passaic and Union,
and estimating the expenditures for the repairs of roads as
reported to the Governor, about $450,000 is annually raised
and expended for repairing and maintaining these country
roads. This sum of $450,000 is practically thrown away on
roads that have existed for nearly a century, and which are
still in much the same condition they were half a century
ago, notwithstanding the vast amount of money that has been
17
386 PUBLIC ROADS.
spent upon them. In 1874 the State Board of Agriculture
began the consideration of the best methods for improving
the public roads of the State, and this agitation has led to
the passage of the act granting State aid to the building of
permanently-improved roads. This latest enactment, which
is a new departure in the United States and is original in
New Jersey, is the law of 1891, made operative in 1892, by
which the State, under certain prescribed conditions, aids the
county and the property-holders along the line of road to be
improved. Hence, this law is commonly known as the
"State-aid" law. Under its provisions more than 100 miles
of stone roads have already been constructed, and more
applications are in for the current year than the total appro-
priation can meet. Although the fear was expressed, and
honestly entertained, that stone roads would be more expen-
sive than profitable to the taxpayers, especially farmers, the
fear has not been realized where most of such roads have
been built No one living along such roads is willing to go
back to the old system.
The salient features of the State-aid law are that the
abutting property-owners along the improved road pay 10
per cent, of the cost, the State 33^, and the county the
balance of the cost and maintains the road. Under the
new law, the State paid on the 27th of December, 1892,
$20,661.85, being the first money paid by the State of New
Jersey for improved roadways. Jt is also the first money ever
paid in the United States under a law granting State aid for the
construction of public roads, and it was paid to Middlesex, county.
Since that time there has been an increasing desire for
roads to be improved under this act, and a much larger sum
will be required annuallv to meet the demands.
In the year 1893 the' State paid $71,237.22 and in 1894
$74,696.03. The conservative manner in which this law has
been enforced has tended greatly to develop its usefulness.
EXTRACTS FROM THE
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
After congratulating the State on its financial condition,
the Governor says :
There is no floating debt, and practically the State is
entirely out of debt. There are outstanding, at the date of
this message, bonds of the State issued for " war purposes "
amounting in the aggregate to the sum of $735,400. Por-
tions of these bonds fall due annually, on the first day of
January in each year until January 1st, 1902, when the last
of them mature. Against these there is in the Sinking Fund
$441,663.48 of available assets. The State also owns 1,887
shares of the stock of the Joint Companies, worth in the
market at this time about $450,000, making a total of $891,-
663.08 of assets against a bonded indebtedness of $735,400.
These war bonds could, therefore, be extinguished to-day, if
due. They are, however, being discharged as rapidly as it is
legally possible to do so.
The estimate of the Comptroller, of receipts and disburse-
ments for the current fiscal year, is as follows :
Estimated receipts (exclusive of balance of $986,855.91)
for fiscal year ending October 3lst, 1895 $2,042,870 00
Estimated disbursements during fiscal year ending Octo-
ber 31st, 1895 2,017,605 86
Balance $25,264 14
Appropriations heretofore made, and balances due on such
appropriations, amounting in the aggregate to $171,306.74,
are outstanding and unpaid. Some of these unpaid appro-
priations are liable to be called for during the current year,
others are not. But, assuming the above estimates of the
Comptroller to be correct, it is evident that those appropria-
tions, and any additional ones that your Honorable Bodies
may make, cannot be defrayed from current receipts. They
will have to be paid from the balance on hand, to that extent
depleting it. This fact should be borne in mind in all
legislation involving an appropriation of public funds.

388 GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
PRLSON ACCOMMODATIONS.
The cell capacity of the State Prison is seven hundred.
The number of convicts, at the date of the Keeper's report
(October 31st, 189i), was 1,026, an increase of fifty-eight over
the preceding year. The law requires that "each convict
shall be confined in one of tlie cells of the prison, separate and
alone." This provision of the law cannot be complied with.
The Keeper is obliged to violate it and to confine two or more
prisoners in cells intended and fit for but one. This is pre-
judicial to the good order and discipline of the prison, and
highly detrimental to the health and morality of the convicts.
The report of the physician discloses an increased rate of
mortality and sickness in the prison during the past year,
which he ascribes to its overcrowded condition and the lack
of proper hospital facilities
I regard the enlargement of the prison as the most impera-
tive demand upon your Honorable Bodies. A law was en-
acted in 1890 (Chapter 154) appropriating $100,000 for the
erection of an additional wing to the prison and providing
proper hospital accommodations. By reason of its peculiar
provisions, that law is inoperative. I therefore recommend
the passage of a new act appropriating a sufiicient sum for the
extension and enlargement of the prison, including a proper
hospital and such other improvements and changes in and
about the institution (suggested and recommended in the re-
ports of the Supervisor, the Keeper and the Inspectors) as may
be deemed necessary or proper.
The act, in my judgment, should provide for the appoint-
ment of commissioners, under whose supervision and direc-
tion the work shall be done, with large discretionary powers
as to the changes or additions to be made and the mode and
manner of making or doing them.
It is claimed there is not suflBcient room within the present
prison limits for the necessary enlargement or extension of
the prison. If that be so, it seems to me advisable, on grounds
of convenience and economy, that recourse should be had to
the State Arsenal grounds, immediately adjoining those of
the prison. It would be an economical measure to incor-
porate the arsenal grounds within the prison limits and to
locate the arsenal on the State camp ground at Sea Girt and
thus save the large annual expense of transporting the ma-
terial from the present arsenal to and from the camp ground.
It is objected, however, that the sea air and moisture would
prove injurious and perhaps destructive to the arms, ammu-
nition, equipments and material on storage. If that objection
be well founded, the arsenal grounds can probably, with
GOVERNOR'S 31 ESS AGE. 389
feconomy of space and perhaps changing the location of certain
buildings, be utilized for both prison and arsenal uses. Should
there prove to be insufl5cient land for both purposes, the
arsenal could be located on other lands of the State, suffi-
ciently remote from the seacoast.
I am decidedly in favor of a State Reformatory or interme-
diate prison for youthful and first offenders, and, abstractly
stated, I would prefer the erection of a reformatory to the
enlargement of the present prison. But the necessity of the
case demands immediate relief, and that can be afforded
much more cheaply and expeditiously by the enlargement of
the prison.
I beg leave, however, to direct the attention of your Honor-
able Bodies to the suggestions of my first annual message
concerning the erection of a reformatory, and also to the re-
port of a commission to select a site and provide for the
erection of a reformatory, transmitted by the Executive, by
special message, to the Legislature of 1894.
STATE HOSPITALS.
The State Hospitals are located at Morris Plains, in the
county of Morris, and at Trenton, the State capital. For-
merly they were designated " insane asylums," but that
designation was changed to '' State Hospitals " by legislative
enactment in the year 1893. The Legislature of 1894 en-
acted that the general management and control of the State
Hospitals should be vested in one Board of Managers, non-
partisan in its composition. The Board is now constituted
conformably to the last-mentioned act. The conduct and
management of the hospitals, under the direction of the
present Board of Managers, is, in my opinion, beyond criti-
cism Both institutions are in first-class condition and have
high reputations for efficiency and success in the treatment
of patients.
The Trenton Hospital, while the oldest of the two, is
creditable to the State. That at Morris Plains is probably
the finest institution of its kind in this or any other country.
Both are, however, overcrowded, particularly that of Morris
Plains. That hospital was erected with a view to the ac-
commodation of eight hundred patients. But that limit has
been exceeded, and at the date of the Managers' report
(October 31st, 1894) the number of patients was 1,050, and
the average number during the year 1,032. The yearly in-
crease of patients is about fifty.
It is manifest that some plan must soon be adopted for the
relief of both institutions. It is suggested that the erection
*17
§90 GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE!.
of a separate building or buildings for '' incurables " is feasible
and probably the best solution of the problem.
The water-supply at the Morris Plains Hospital needs
attention. The necessity therefor is fully detailed in the
report of the Managers.
For all matters connected with the conduct and manage-
ment of these institutions I beg leave, most respectfully, to
refer your Honorable Bodies to the report of the Managers
and accompanying reports of officials. As to the changes to
be made for the relief of the institutions, the report states
that the plans of the Managers are not yet in form to be em-
bodied or outlined in a report, but that they will be sub-
mitted to the proper legislative committee as soon as prac-
ticable.
THE NATIONAL GUARD, STATE CAMP GROUND AND
ARMORIES.
The National Guard consists of 313 officers and 3,487 en-
listed men. This force is organized into fifty-six companies
of infantry, one Gatling gun company and one troop of
cavalry.
The National Guard is in every way honorable to itself
and the State. It has developed a marked improvement in
discipline and soldierly qualities during the past year. The
Second Brigade, under the command of Brevet Major-General
William J. Sewell, was encamped at Sea Girt from July 16th
to July 2l8t. The period of time covered by the encamp-
ment was coincident with the closing events of the serious
outbreaks which, in the months of June and July last, dis-
turbed the peace and good order of several of the Western
States. For several days anterior to the encampment, well-
grounded apprehensions existed that the violence and-
disorder prevailing in the West might spread to the East and
this State. Preparations were accordingly made for the
speedy concentration of the National Guard, thoroughly
armed and equipped, at any threatened point. Happily, the
necessity for such action did not arise. I, however, fully
concur in the opinion of the Adjutant-General, expressed in
his annual report, that had occasion occurred for its services,
the National Guard would have afi^orded ample defense to
the persons and property of the citizens of the State. There
can be no doubt that, at the time referred to, the confidence
reposed in the National Guard, and the fact that a brigade
thereof was encamped ready to move promptly upon any
threatened point, afforded a sense of security to the entire
State. It is at such times and in such emergencies (always
GOViJkNORS MESSAGE SM
liable to arise) that the value, and in truth, the indispens-
ability of the National Guard, are felt and recognized.
In marksmanship, under the direction of Brigadier-Gen-
eral Bird W. Spencer, Inspector-General of Rifle Practice,
the National Guard has attained great proficiency. The
record of each regiment in this branch of service for the past
year is superior to that of any preceding year.
PUBLIC WATER-SUPPLY.
I deem it of great public importance that measures should
be speedily taken by the State for its control of the sources
of potable water within its borders. This is a matter of con-
cern to the entire State, but more immediately interests the
populous communities in its northeastern section. In my
last annual message, I submitted an extract from the report of
the State Geologist, showing the sources now available for
supplying northern New Jersey towns and cities with water,
the supplying capacities of such available sources and the
present and prospective population to be supplied thereby.
The data thus presented are most instructive and emphasize
the conclusion expressed by the State Geologist, that wise
and judicious development of these water-sheds is necessary
for the benefit of all the people, rather than their segrega-
tion to the uses of a few powerful communities. I respect-
fully invite your attention to the extracts alluded to. They
convey a most impressive warning and invite prompt and
determined action. These sources of water-supply are now
sought to be acquired, and in many instances have been ac-
quired by private individuals or corporations, that they may
be held for speculative purposes and sold to individual
municipalities to the exclusion of others. If such a policy is
to prevail, it is evident that the time is not distant when the
bulk of the population in northern New Jersey will, for this
absolute necessity of life, be at the mercy of those owning or
controlling its supply. This should not be. The time is at
hand when the State should exercise its prerogative and
secure for the common benefit what was intended for the use
of all. Of course, all rights of individuals or corporations
should be respected and fair compensation awarded for all
property taken for public purposes. But, subject to that pro-
vision, the State should not hesitate to assert its authority to
the fullest extent.
In addition to the data above referred to, I am advised that
the State Geological Department has in press, and expects to
have ready for distribution at the present session of your
Honorable Bodies, a volume containing a full description of
S§2 GOVERNOR'S MESSAOK
the several water-sheds of the State, their general characters
of geological formation, nature of soil and forest conditions
and their capacity of delivery of water available for town and
city supply. The volume also contains full discussions of the
important questions of rainfall, evaporation from the surface
of the ground, surface-flow, ground-water, &c.
I recommend legislation on this subject upon the lines of
Senate Bill No. 42, introduced in the last Legislature. If the
objections made to that bill were well founded they can be
remedied, or if not, otiier measures can be proposed. It can-
not be impossible to devise legislation to meet the exigencies
of the case.
PARKS AND RESERVATIONS.— THE PALISADES.
The setting aside of tracts of land for public parks, as
places for public recreation, ref^t and enjoyment, has come to
be regarded as a necessity rather than a mere convenience.
They conduce to the public health, promote the general
happiness and encourage good citizenship. As public in-
vestments they are remunerative and profitable. Experience
has proved that the increased valuations in the vicinity of a
well-regulated public park, will soon more than pay the cost
of the original investment. This subject has already re-
ceived considerable attention in this State. The last Legis-
lature passed several acts recognizing the value of public
parks, and providing for their original creation or extension
where already existing. Among the acts passed was one
authorizing the appointment, by a Justice of the Supreme
Court, in counties of over 200,000 inhabitants, of five pers »ns
to be County Park Commissioners, to " consider the advisa-
bility of laying out ample open spaces for the use of the
public in such county, * ^ ^ ^ and make a
report in writing of a comprehensive plan for laying out,
acquiring and maintaining such open spaces." Lender the
last-mentioned act, a commission has been appointed in the
cjunty of Essex, which has already given much thought and
intelligent consideration to this subject, and which will so3n
submit its suggestions, recommendations and conclusions in a
detailed report.
The Highlands in the northern part of this State abound
in romantic scenery, and are remarkably adapted to the pur-
poses of public parks or reservations. They are not remote
or uneasy of access from large centers of population, and I
cannot better express my views on this subject than to cite
from the report of the State Geologist for 1892 (page 25)
the following extract:
" The more specific purpose of this reference to the subject
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. 393
is, however, to call attention to the large and available tracts
in the Highlands which are so well fitted to become natural
parks for the use of the masses of our people who need the
resort to the country, and yet cannot aiford to have coun-
try homes. Nearly all of the more attractive places and all
of the larger lakes in the Highlands are less than thirty miles
from Newark and Paterson and the adjacent towns, and a
radius of forty miles from the cities of that part of the State
would sweep within its range all of them and the greater part
of the Highlands. One of sixty miles would take in nearly
the whole of the northern part of the State. It is the com-
parative nearness of so large a territory filled with wildwocd
scenery and still in forest, and with so many lakes and lake-
lets within easy reach by railway, which is the attractive
feature of this country, and more remarkable as we note the
deforesting march of improvement over districts more suited
to the demands of cropping, or where the capacious maws of
furnaces and mines, or the market for lumber have consumed
the woods. It is not a region scarred by fires, as are some of
the more remote and more pine-covered mountains of north-
eastern Pennsylvania or of the southern part of our own
State. And it is naturally suited to the production of luxu-
riant tree-growth, except on the reeky mountain crests, and
ridges, where the soil is necessarily scanty and not of a depth
to make a heavy growth of wood. The preservation of the
more beautiful and attractive parts of this region for use as
large natural parks by our cities, and as gathering territory
for their supply of wholesome water, is a subject deserving of
public attention before it be too late to secure them "
Closely related to this subject is the preservation of the
Palisades on the Hudson river. The Palisades are located
mostly in the State of New Jersey. They extend northerly
to the State line and then continue for three or four miles in
the State of New York. As a feature of natural scenery they
are altogether unique. They present the appearance of a
perpendicular wall of trap rock from 350 to 500 feet high,
against which the waters of the Hudson seem to beat. There
is, however, between the base of the Palisades and the waters
of the river, a strip of land, varying in width from a few feet
to 150 to 200 feet. This strip of land is at the present time
little used. All along the base of the Palisades is a mass of
rock and debris, fallen from above during centuries past.
The surface of the Palisades is a plain or plateau, extending
ten or twelve miles along the river and back from it for one-
half or three-quarters of a mile, when the descent to the low-
lands on the west begins. The land of this plateau or plain
is very valuable— averaging not less than |2,500 per acre.
394 GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE,
Some of it is occupied by handsome and costly residences.
Other portions remain in a state of nature. The strip of
land at the base is not nearly so valuable, although the
acquisition of the entire strip would cost a large aggregate
sum.
The preservation of the Palisades in unbroken uniformity
and grandeur is very much to be desired. This desire may
partake of the sentimental, but if so, is kindred to that feeling
which prompted the preservation of Niagara, the Adiron-
dacks, Yellowstone Park, Mount Vernon, Washington's
Headquarters at Morristown, and other places of natural or
historical interest. It is true, the beauties of the Palisades
are enjoyed in equal or greater degree by the citizens of New
York, and that they are equally interested with us in their
preservation. So far as the Palisades are located in New
York, that State may be intrusted with their preservation.
So far as they are located in New Jersey, it should be a mat-
ter of State pride to protect and save them. I know of no
way in Avliich the State of New York could intervene to aid
in their preservation in this State, nor do I think its aid
should be invoked. New Jersey is not reduced to that ex-
tremity. It would exhibit a mean and selfish spirit on our
part to refuse to preserve what is admittedly an object of na-
tional interest, simply because it was located in a par icular
section of the State, or so situated that the citizens of neigh-
boring States could enjoy its beauties in common with our
own citizens. One test of a nation's refinement and civiliza-
tion, is its appreciation of the beautiful and the grand in art
and nature.
This natural wonder, the Palisades, is now threatened with
irreparable injury, which is equivalent to entire destruction.
To entirely level the immense pile of rock would require
generations, but the destruction of its continuity and uni-
formity of appearance can be accomplished in a very brief
period. That, as stated, is equivalent to destruction. At
various points, quarries have been opened and stone-crushers
erected, and the work of extracting stone for street-paving,
Macadam filling and other purposes begun upon a large
scale. At some points the work is at prasent confined to the
debris at the base, at others inroads have been made upon
the Palisades proper. The removal of the debris probably
does no harm.
Being the property of private owners, restrained by no
" sentimental feelings," they have the undoubted legal right
to build up or destroy at pleasure, keeping within the rule
"so use your own as not to injure another," The enforce-
ment of that principle might be invoked by one private
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. 395
party against another, but would offer no adequate remedy
for the threatened public injury. It is evident that the de-
struction of the Palisades can only be preserved by the in-
tervention of the State. I do not think it would be wise,
even were it legal, to attempt to restrain any individual by
legislation from using his own property in any legal way he
sees fit. The only mode in which the desired object can be
accomplished is the exercise of the right of eminent domain,
taking the property for public uses and purposes and making
just compensation to the owners. As to the manner in
which the right of eminent domain shall be exercised,
different plans have been proposed.
The idea of converting the Palisades into a public park is
out of the question, as also is the proposition to condemn the
long strip of land at the base. Aside from the immense cost
involved there is no occasion for such sweeping proceedings.
The construction of a public road along the strip at the
base has been suggested. But it is impossible to see how
that would prevent the owners of adjoining Palisade lands
from breaking up and removing the soil or rock. It would
rather seem to afford additional facilities f r so doing. This
is, in effect, the proposition to condemn the strip of land in
question, with the additional cost of constructing and main-
taining the road.
Propositions to condemn the right to quarry, and to con-
demn bodily from the foot of the slope up to where the top
of the slope adjoins the perpendicular ledge, have been made.
Both of these plans would be ineffectual, and might prove
very costly.
It seems to me that the most feasible plan lies through an
amendment of the riparian laws, coupled with a judicious
exercise of the State's power of purchase, or if need be, of
the right of eminent domain.
The State owns (where not disposed of) the riparian lands
under the Hudson river, between high and low-water marks,
adjoining the narrow strip of land referred to. The Palisades
are accessible and valuable for quarry purposes only by reason
of their proximity to the navigable river, which affords a
ready means of transportation. Those engaged in the work
of quarrying the Palisades have erected their crushers and
appliances for work, and their piers or docks, along the
river's edge, or over its waters, so that the stone can be loaded
directly into boats and floats. Without a grant from the
State no person has a right to occupy or use its riparian lands
for any purpose. Along the Palisades, the State has, in some
instances, parted with its riparian rights, but mostly at points
where no present injury is threatened. For over two an4 a,
896 GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
half miles of these grants the rentals are largely in arrear,
and the leases therefor should be canceled. The State
would then own most of the riparian lands adjoining the
Palisades.
Under the present law the owner of the shore adjoining
the riparian land has the right to apply to the Riparian
Commission, and have made to him a lease or grant of the
lands under water upon the terms established by the commis-
sion. Without the riparian right, quarrying at the Palisades
could not be profitably conducted, if it could be carried on at
all. A riparian grant is necessary to permit the construction
of a dock or pier wherefrom to ship the stone to market.
An investigation made within a few days discloses the fact
that, with a single exception, none of the persons engaged in
quarrying the Palisades own the shore adjoining the riparian
lands ; consequently they are not entitled to grants from the
State, and their occupation of the riparian lands by any struc-
ture or for any purpose is a trespass. The one exception
alluded to is that of a firm who have constructed a large stone
crusher and a dock in reality upon the State's riparian lands.
They did this under a mistake as to their rights in the prem-
ises. They leased from the upland owners the quarry right
with an option of purchase, and supposed their occupation of
the riparian land was authorized by their lease. But the
upland owner had never acquired the riparian right. On
ascertaining that fact, the lessees exercised their option, pur-
chased the upland and then applied for a grant of the adjoin-
ing riparian land, whereon their crusher and dock are erected.
That application is still pending before the Piparian Com-
missioners. Two or three other parties engaged in quarrying
have intimated their intention to make similar application if
they procure the adjoining upland.
As the law is it would be an arbitrary proceeding for the
Piparian Board to refuse to execute the grant on the pending
application, if the party demands it. The parties purchased
in good faith, relying upon the law that a grant would be
executed upon proper request. However much the State
may desire to withhold the grant, it cannot afford to do so,
in violation of its exprcis or implied pledge.
So far forlh, therefore, as the parlies referred to or any
others have secured vested rights, or what the State should
recognize as equivalent thereto, they should be dealt with on
the basis of purchase or by condemnation proceedings.
The riparian laws should be amended forbidding any lease
or grant of riparian lands adjoining the Pa'isades, except
upon such conditions and limitations as will insure their
preservation. Parties will then be forewarned and have
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE, 397
knowledge that no riparian rights can be secured that will in
any wise involve or permit the injury or destruction of the
Palisades. The simple enactment of such a law will go far
towards the future preservation of the Palisades.
As to those points where the riparian rights are in the
hands of private owners and liable to be used now or here-
after in aid of destructive operations against the Palisades,
the only plan I can suggest, if purchase at reasonable price be
impossible, is to proceed as in ordinary cases of taking private
lands for public purposes. To take and hold, for the benefit
of the public, any and so much land as may be necessary as
points or spaces, parks or inclosures, whence may be viewed
and enjoyed an unequaled natural curiosity like the Palisades,
is, it seems to me, a justifiable exercise of the right of emi-
nent domain.
The points where actual damage to the Palisades proper is
being committed are not numerous. The injury so far in-
flicted is small compared to what is threatened and will hap-
pen unless prevented. The State Geological Department has
made an examination of the Palisades and ascertained the
location of the rock-blasting. A map of the Palisade range
on a large scale has been prepared, showing the part still in-
tact and the parts affected by the quarry work.
If your Honorable Bodies are disposed to legislate upon
this subject, I recommend the enactment of a law providing
for the appointment of a commission of three persons, to serve
without compensation, empowered to negotiate and agree, for
the purchase by the State, of any land or lands, whenever, in
their opinion, it shall be necessary to purchase the same, in
order to preserve to the public any feature or object of natural
scenery, or to secure such lands for any public use or purpose,
and with the concurrence of the Governor (and other State
oflficials if thought best) to consummate such purchase ; or, if
unable to agree with the owners for such purchase, and such
lands are desired for any public use or purpose, then, with
the approval of said State officials, to institute proceedings
for taking such land by condemnation.
Provision should also be made that the commissioners
may, with the approval of the same officials, sell or exchange
any lands by them purchased or acquired, if it be found
more advantageous to sell or exchange the same, imposing
such restrictions and limitations upon the land sold or ex-
changed as they may deem fit and proper.
Such a law, while general and ai)plying to the entire State,
would, as applied to the present situation in the Palisades,
operate about as follows :
To stop the impending destruction, some one or more
398 GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
tracts of land to be used as public parks or reservations
would have to be acquired by purchase or condemnation.
The quantity of land would not be great or the price there-
for beyond the ability of the State to pay from current re-
ceipts or funds on hand. If, for any reason, it should subse-
quently be deemed advisable to sell or exchange any of the
land so acquired, the sale or exchange could be effected upon
such terms and conditions as the State might see fit to im-
pose. It is not probable that the sale or exchange of any
Palisades land Avould involve much, if any, loss. Nor is it
likely that any grantee would object to the imposition of re-
strictions intended to preserve the condition of affairs on
which the value of the property depends.
The process of purchase or condemnation might have to
be several times repeated, but in every instance the operation
and effect of the law would be as above stated. Persons
would not be apt to engage in destructive operations or even
threaten so to do for specu'ative purposes, when they realized
that the only effect thereof would be the taking of the lands
by the State at a fair valuation.
In course of time the State might, through the operation
of such a law as is above detailed, possess several small de-
tached parks or reservations upon the Palisades. By sa'e
or exchange, as provided for, the detached and separated
parks could be brought together and one or more parks of
considerable area formed. If at any time deemed advisable,
the State could doubtless, by sale, reimburse itself all outlays
and expenditures.
RIPARIAN MATTERS.
The Riparian Commission, after careful and thorough con-
sideration of the subject, is of the opinion that a new policy
should be adopted by the State in disposing of its riparian
lands.
They say : " They believe that it would be wise for the State
to refuse to make any more grants of these lands in fee, and
to dispose of them henceforth only by lease.
" If such a policy had been started in the beginning, and
continued until the present time, the State income from this
source would now be very large.
"The present value of all the riparian lands that have
been sold in fee is $7,503,146. If these lands had been
leased instead of sold they would now turn into the treasury,
under the present rates, rentals to the amount of $525,522.22
per annum.
"The present value of the riparian lands of the State, re-
maining unsold, aggregating 400 miles of water-front, is $25,-
GOVERNORS MESSAGE. 399
344,000. If these lands were rented at the present rates they
would return in the way of rentals, $1,479,509.78 per annum.
"The proposition of the commissioners is, that the riparian
lands of the State, after a fixed date, say the first of next
July, be rented under a lease of twenty-one years, with
renewal at the expiration of that time under a revaluation.
"There is no doubt, in the judgment of the commissioners,
that such a policy would immensely increase the revenue from
this source, rising, in time, to imperial magnitude, under the
development of this State's material resources, to which they
are manifestly destined.
"The commissioners recommend that the Legislature enact
a law making this the settled policy of the State."
I approve the recommenHation of the commission, and trust
your Honorable Bodies will comply therewith.
THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
For several years past controversies have existed between
persons engaged in the oyster industry in Delaware bay, and
others claimiug certain riparian rights or privileges. At
times these controversies have led to breaches of the peace,
and during the winter of 1893-94 culminated in a violent
outbreak. This occasioned the passage of a joint resolution
by the last Legislature, "providing for the appointment of
three commissioners to examine into the difficulties existing
among the oystermen of Maurice river cove and Delaware
bay."
In pursuance of said joint resolution a commission was duly
appointed and reported within ten days. Their report, with
their conclusions and recommendations, was transmitted to
the Legislature still in session, but was unacted upon by that
body. The report is also appended to the report of the Ei-
parian Commissioners for the year ending October 31st last.
The report is a most exhaustive, thorough and intelligent
treatment of the subject. I shall not enter into its details,
but content myself with merely stating its conclusion and
recommendations, earnestly requesting your Honorable Bodies
to examine the report and give it the consideration its import-
ance warrants and demands.
The conclusions are as follows:
" 1. That unless some radical change is made in the law.-,
the industry will be extinguished.
"2. That State control of the oyster lands, under proper
regulations as to their use, is desirable.
"3. That the dredging for natural oysters in the bay
should be prohibited, either in whole or in part, for a period
of years.
400 GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
"4. That a'rough-cuir law should be enacted ; that is, a
law requiring the dredger to separate the oysters from the
shells of the bed, and thus prevent the carrying away of the
beds themselves."
The following are the recommendations :
"This commission strongly recommend that the oyster
lands in Maurice River cove and Delaware bay be placed
under State control, as necessary to their preservation. Con-
necticut, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, all States having
large oyster interests, have adopted this policy, to the benefit
and satisfaction of their citizens.
' A law should be enacted providing for the leasing by the
State to private persons of lands to be used for the cultiva-
tion of oysters south of the 'southwest line,' and for which a
small annual rent per acre should be charged. In thus tak-
ing control of lands for the cultivation of oysters, the State
should respect the rights of the pers ns who now occupy
staked-up grounds, and they should have the first right to
leases for the same, and to have the title to all oysters now
placed thereon. All vessels engaged in the business should
pay a tonnage tax to the State and receive licenses. Proper
regulations for the use of the bay, and for the protection of
the natural oysters, should be made, and should include the
power to prohibit dredging on the natural oyster grounds for
a time; the introduction of a 'rough-cull' rule; provision
for replenishing the oyster beds with shells, at State expense.
Adequate means should be provided by guard _ boats to
enforce the law an 1 protect the bay. Severe penalties should
be provided for violations of the law, and in case of offiending
vessels the license should be revoked. A reasonable rental
and license fee should be charged, sufficien': only to provide
funds to properly protect the industry and enforce the law.
" In case the oyster lands are placed under State control,
the commission advise that the State acquire title, by con-
demnation or otherwise, to the lands covered by these
riparian grants, to the end that all the oyster territory may
be held by the State and the use thereof regulated for the
benefit of all its citizens."
The commission state they are convinced that a large
majority of all parties interested concur in their conclusions
and recommendations.
Concerning the report of the "Oyster Commission," the
Riparian Commissioners in their annual report say : " This
report is a clear and exhaustive treatment of the subject, and
the Riparian Commissioners indorse the recommendations in
that report that the Legislature enact a law placing these
oyster beds under State control, and providing for a system
GOVERNOR'S Message. 4o1
of tonnage tax and licenses out of which to meet the expense
of policing and protecting these lands from unlawful en-
croachments. This would settle a vexed question on an
equitable and satisfactory basis, and save a great interest
from threatened destruction."
I fully agree with both commissions, and recommend the
enactment of legislation in accordance with their conclusions
iind recommendations.
Sallot reform and reform in primary elections.
As to changes in the Ballot Reform law, if any be con-
templated, I beg to suggest that "mere change is not reform."
The great objects to be attained in any system of voting are
freedom of the individual voter from coercion, intimidation
or undue influence from employers or others, and the ina-
bility of the briber or corruptionist to know whether his
contract of bribery or corruption has been fulfilled. Any
system of voting that effectually secures these ends with the
least annoyance and inconvenience to the voter is the best
system. Some " reformers " seem to be of the opinion that
the suffrage is purified in proportion as the procuring of a
ballot or the act of voting is made difficult and annoying.
Such views should not prevail.
Judged by the standards above mentioned, the ballot law
of this State is better than any other within my knowledge.
Experience in elections occurring under its provisions has
demonstrated its efficiency as well as simplicity. Eather
than sanction any extensive innovations by way of " blanket
ballots" or intermingling of all candidates upon one ticket,
I would much prefer the voting machine known as the
Meyers machine, or some similar device, if any there be. I
mention the Meyers machine merely because, having been
brought to my attention through the public press, I have seen
and inspected it, and because it is already in use in several
of the towns and cities of New York. I am indisposed in an
oflBcial communication to seem to indorse or recommend any
particular voting contrivance, but in case changes of the
character deprecated should be proposed in the existing law,
I invoke your examination of such appliances as may be pos-
sible. "Voting by machinery," I am sure, is much more
simple, easy, efficient and expeditious than several of the
methods now in use. It might possibly require a constitu-
tional amendment to permit the use of mechanical instru-
ments in this State, but I think not. The recent amendments
adopted in the State of New York provided for their use as a
measure of precaution, although the machines had been
quite extensively used in that State theretofore.

THE STATE SENATE CONTROVERSY,
1894.
The controversy over the organization of the State Senate
of 1894 wa3 begun on the first day of the session, Tuesday,
January 9th. The Democratic Senators contended that the
Senate was a continuous body, and that the hold-over Senators
should first organize and admit the newly-elected Senators
to their seats before a permanent organization could be
effected.
As a result, the Republican Senators refused to join with
the Democrats unless assured that the Senators-elect should
participate in the proceedings of the Senate. This being re-
fused, the Republicans withdrew and organized by electing
Maurice A Rogers President The Democrats, not having a
majority of the whole number of Senators, elected Robert
Adrain President pro tempore. Both bodies claimed to be the
Senate of New Jersey and met as a Senate, the Republican
Senate being recognized by the House of Assembly as the
true Senate,
In order to determine which of the claimants, if either of
them, was the true President of the Senate, a petition was
filed by the Attorney-General, on the relation of George T.
Werts, Governor, for leave to file an information in the
nature of a quo icarranto, against Robert Adrain and Maurice
A. Rogers, to inquire by what warrant they and each of them
claimed the said office. This was on February 21st. The
prayer of the petition was granted by the full-bench of
the'Supreme Court. The taking of depositions was begun be-
fore Supeme Court Commissioner S. M. Dickinson, on the
rule granted by the court, on February 24th, and was finished
on February 28th, and the cause came up for a hearing at the
February Term, 1894, on March 5th, and the arguments were
closed on March 14th. With the exception of Justice Magie,
whose term had expired, there was a full bench present, con-
sisting of Chief Justice Beasley and Justices Depue, Van
Syckel, Dixon, Reed, Garrison, Lippincott and Abbett. For
the relator appeared Attorney-General Stockton, Robert Y.
Lindabury and Frederic W. Stevens. For Maurice A. Rogers,
Thomas N. McCarter, John W. Griggs, Cortlandt Parker, R.
Wayne Parker, Samuel H. Grey, Joseph Coult, Gilbert Col-
lins' and William M. Lanning. For Robert Adrain, Allan
L. McDermott.
The decision of a majority of the court was rendered by
Chief Justice Beasley on March 21st, the conclusions being as
follows :
" The result of the inquiry before us is, that we have con-

eluded that the Senate of New Jersey is not a continuous
body, but that it expires annually, in the same sense that the
Assembly does.
''Therefore, our conclusion is, that Mr. Adrain has no title
to the office that he ostensibly holds, and that the appropriate
judgment must be entered against him.
" With respect to the title of the opposite c'aimant, Mr.
Eogers, we hold that his title must be regarded as constitu-
tional and valid. Our resolution in this regard is founded
entirely on the ground that, touching the act of re-organizing
its own body, the majority of Senators are the absolute mas-
ters of the occasion. Such action is taken by a body co-
ordinate with ourselves, and whose proceedings, when not
violative of the Constitution of the State, we have no capacity
to supervise or control. In our opinion, when a majority of
Senators organized the Senate and elected Mr. Rogers its
President, such action was and is conclusive upon this court
as well as upon all departments of the government."
The following head-notes are taken from the opinion of the
court filed in the Supreme Court Clerk's office:
*' 1. Whether the Senate of the State be a continuous body
or one to be organized into life annually, is a purely consti-
tutional question, and therefore as such is to be decided by
the courts.
" 2. In such case where there are two bodies, each claiming
to be the true Senate, an information in the nature of a quo
warranto is the appropriate process whereby to test such re-
spective claims.
" 3. Where a majority of the entire body of Senators
proceed to organize themselves into a Senate, their methods
and proceedings are not subject to judicial supervision."
Justice Abbett filed a dissenting opinion.
