plation OF the Monroe Doctrine,
what it is, when declared. and its appli-
cation in the past. A discussion followed
as to whether or no 1t a wise principle,
and almost every Rambler aired her
views. The discussion took the form of
an Indignation meeting against England

trine a wise one. The discussion Of the
Venezuelan question was opened by Miss
May Shafer. IN explaining what it is she

trouble resulting from these violations.

of Inquiry.
Miss Irene Phillips had as a subject,
s.Our Warships," and she compared them
with those of England. Miss Edna Ed
wards gave an account of our coast de-
lenses. which she said were poor. At first
the subject looked bad to the Rambiers,
but when one after another. extenuating
circumstances were adduced they n q
all decided that they would not leave the
country lust yet. Miss Eleanor WfgSers
had been assigned the-"Cuban Revolution,
as a subject, DuI she was HOT prtSeiit, a.iu

The "Gazstte" says

IT is more than amusing. it is truly
gratifying to see Governor Griggs con-
denim the passage annually of a mass of
trivial legislation. 1t is particularly gra-
tifying-as gratifying as it is unexpected
Ito see him censure especially the con-
duct Of last years Legislature. This
body. which was controlled in both
Houses by strong Republican majorities,
in It's mad greed for everything in sight
piled up a volume of statutes nearly
twice as great as any of its predecessors
had done in MANI years. 1t cannot be
said that this was the result of the
Voorhees, reforms" These measures
were few in number and brief with the
exception of the Appropriation bill. The
incubus OF unnecessary legislation was
piled up during the main session, and in
almost every act either partisanship or
5obbbery is manifest. The statutes which
are really to the public advantage do
NOT constitute ten per cent. Of the
whole.

telling of the effect of the different pic
lures upon herself. Current literature was
discussed by Miss Louise Bowen. Who
gave an admirable sketch of the current
BOOK n magazine articles. She men,
tiOned that Mabie said in a magazine
article that the current literature of
america was greatly inferior to the cur
rent literature of England. This sentence
in regard to the truth of the statement
and it was decided to nave a discussion
at the next current literature day on the
relative merits of the American and Eng

MIR. GRIGGs' position regarding the
trolleys is worth watching. 1t is inter-
esting. HIS remarks about water are
~funny-just funny.
In 1889. there was a famous lawsuit in
this State. 1t was the suit OF the New
ark Acneduct Board against the City of
Passaic. 1t was all about the pollution
Of the Passaic River.
The City of Newark, aided and abetted
by the city of Jersey City. tried to obtain
an injunction to restrain the City of Pas
sa.e from discharging a system OF sew
ers into the River. The case was ar
gued before the Chancellor in the May
term Of 1883.
The counsel in the case were Colonel
E. l.. Price and Thomas N. McCarter.
for the Newark Aqueduct Board; c. P.
Rust and John w. Griggs, for the city
of Passaic.
So successfully did Mr.. Griggs defend
he right Of Passaic to pour its sewage
into the River that the Chancellor re-
fused the injunction.
The case is given in outline In our
news columns today. Those who wish to
look up the official record will find it in
the Equity Reports, Eighteenth of Stew
art, Page 1893 ct seq.
