himself with mercantile house out

The Rambler Club met yesterday
afternoon in Hasbrouck Institute to hear
papers about Christopher Columbus that
were to have been given some weeks e
on the day of the snow storm. A p
on Christopher Columbus in Spain,, by
Miss Irene Calvert Phillips, was read.
Miss Phillips told Of Columbus struggles
for recognition, of his journeys all over
the county in search of aid, of the years
spent in waiting for his promised caravels
till the reconquest of Granada, and of his
final success. She then alluded briefly to
two of Columbus home comings-one
when he was courted and feted as the
discoverer Of the unknown land; the
other, when he was brought home in
died.
Miss Pearl L. Brooke's paper was on
The Voyages of Columbus She gave
the well known story of the first voyage
when this land was discovered. She also
told of his other voyag his search for
gold and his capture of slaves.
Miss Park in giving a of
Columbus life remarked that he lad
something rare in men, both courage and
fortitude. Sh alluded to his other char
acteristics and brought up for discussion
questions as to his cruelty and avarice.

The Equal TAXATION Fiasc..

The Tribune" has tried hard to believe
hat the Republican railroad ring, which
now owns the State. really intended
making some concession to the people in
the direction of equal taxation. Today
it has to throw up the sponge. 1t adj
mits that there is sure to be a big fight
in the Legislature"
There win be a big fight. and we VEN
ture to renew our prophecy that it will
result in no good to Jersey City. The
action of the Griggs Commission is just
what we expected 1t shows the cloven
hoof Of the railroads in its every feature.
First there is a confusion of reports upon
the direct issue of railroad taxation. This
affords just the excuse the ringsters
want for no action or unsatisfactory ac-
ton. Division of opinion among the Com
missioners opens the way for sfrrecon-
liable differences" among the legisla-
tors. and while they wrangle the people
get left.
Then there Is the totally unnecessary
report upon the taxation of private prop
erty. This is useless to the public but
invaluable to the railroads. 1t is a coun-
ter Issue. 1t will divert attention from
the main question. It will cause new
ENHANCEMENT, confusion, fog, opposition,
deadlock and bathos.
When the Commission was named by
our Railroad Governor. we expressed the
opinion that the dear corporations were
web taken care of. Today every candid
man in the State must admit we were
right. We will find more confirmation of
the same view as the session progresses.
