John ". Griggs and b Delaware
Dam.

We print in another column the re-
markabiy strong editorial of the Newark
"Eyening News" upon Governor Griggs'
villainous action in signing the Delaware
Dam bin. The article is worthy of study.
1t exposes the reckless character of the
measures; fits outrageous infringement of
the peoples rights, and the more than
serious evils to which 1t may lead. 1t
also exposes the Governor with unsparing
but altogether merited severity. It
shows that If he read the bill, he could not
have been ignorant of its effects. There
Tore, when he speaks Of It as harmless in
one aspect Inc beneficent in another. he
Is either a fool or a deliberate impostor.
Incidentally. it remarks. the Governor is
not q fool, and so there you have him,
Labelled, ticketed. classified and pigeon
holed for future reference.
While endorsing all that the News
lays about the bill and the Governor,
we cannot refrain from saying that the
attack comes with particularly bad grace
~A-6 "a tGA- IA 4NSMdIh NGWS&
IS IN fact particeps criminis with John
w. Gfiges in this atrocity and in all the
other in%ultifarious wrongs of his admin
1stration. With its eyes open, with a
full Knowledge of his character and rec
ord and associations, the News advo-
Gated his election as Governor. THE
Jersey City News and other papers
which were not infected with the canting
ssbetter-thar-thou'' spirit of the so-called
anti-Race Track crusade ~strenuously
pointed out what the consequences would
be of placing this miserable corporation
attorney in the Governors chair. But
QUE Newark namesake had one of its bad
Pharisaical fits at the time, and in conf
cal companionship with the Sunday
Call another paper which pretends to
be hostile to corporate greed, it deliber-
ately betrayed the people of the State
Into the hands of the PhiIlistines.
Oneshalf of John w. Griggs' term as
Governor has now expired. We defy any
living soul to point out a benefit that
he has conferred upon the State. He
has not ever made a single useful sug-
gestion Of any magnitude. On the con-
srary, he has made some of the worst
partisan appointments the State has ever
known; he has schemed FOR a higher
office for himself, and he has yielded to
the desires of the corporations on every
possible occasion. There is no predeces-
sor al his. we care not who. who does
not butshine him in regard for decency
and for the public interests as an cleo
tric light does a tallow candle.
Perhaps, we should make one exception
in the Governors favor. His veto, with
incidental comment, of 81 out of 1o1 bills,
passed by . Republican Senate and As
sembiy, was . useful educational act.

PLIMsY GROUND FOR ARREST.

While Miss Pauline Brakeman of New
Durham, N. j., was dancing at the bail
of the Exempt Firemen in Odd Fellows
Hall, Hoboken, last evening, she missed
her gold watch. Later she learned that

No. 613 Bloomfield street. She complained
to Policeman Farley, and the latter

He was locked up on a charge of lar
ceny, but as Miss Brakeman refused to

afternoon was the burden of a pessimistic
speech made on the floor of the Protest.
ant Episcopal Convention of the Diocese
of Newark. which for the past two DAYS
had been in session in Trinity Church
in this city.
The Archdeacon of Newark in talking
about the state of the missions under his
care, informed the clergy tha the hotel
was to be changed into a club and that
meant a serious blow for the little stone
church near the lake, which was sup
ported and existed solely by the gener-
osity of the summer visitors. He feared

to exist that the church could not exist,

Jersey City, and after some discussion
the suggestion was adopted.
This matter was brought to the atten-
ton of Mr.. Charles B. Thurston this
morning, n that gentleman laughed
when he heard the wall about the
the presence of the club.
Il am afraid" he said, that the very
reverend gentlemen are, to use a homely
figure Of speech, barking up the wrong
tree. II they will stop to consider / am
sure that they will agree with me when

receive financial supper from the gentle
men composing the new club rather than
a few transient visitors. It's presence will
be a distinct advantage to the clubhouse

doubtedly be glad to worship there and
that will mean increased revenue for the
