Apropos OF pred .ctiobs made by the

loughby. assistant curate OF St. Luke's,
Camberwell, writes to mention a remark

planchette was being exhibited, and a
gentleman who was entirely skepiical as
to its powers was asked by Mr.. Will
loughby whether he would believe in it if
1t would answer some question passing
through his mind, which he would not re-
veal to the company. Certainly" said
he; then, and not till then, will I believe
that there is no hoax Or humbug." I'm

and spelled the two words, ''Frencn Joke"

as it was MOI, plancnette was requested to

wrote, "What is joke in French?"

From tie Nsunrk Snndnu stnndnrG

From the Nepark Sunday STANDARD.
Mr.. Young Is O dignified and honorable gen.
tleman.
So says the Journal. and "and SO say
we all OF u.s." But the Journal did not
always say so. 1t is only a few weeks
since it said that Mr.. Young was an un-
dignifed and dishonorable Democrat, be-
cause. as lyingly alleged, he voted against
the Democratic candidate twenty years
ago, the same being Horace Greeley.
What has changed the opinion of the
"King's Own" regarding Mr.. Young?
The same thing that changed its masters
head about Grover Cleveland. the mighty
and all powerful force of public opinion.
Although off rusticating, as it were, His
Majesty keeps IA close ear on the ground.
He has been quick to hear the increasing
demand in Essex for the real choice of
the people fer Governor, e. E. G. Young.
And so he makes his organ right about
face In double quick order and eat it's
own words-call him who was as black
as the ace of spades a little while ago a
very angel OF light ju uow.
But, however that may be, the fact re-
mains that e. f. c. Young is indeed a
"diGnifed and honorable gentleman" Il
Gubernatorlal candidate whose steadily
growing strength has thoroughly fright
ened the King of Essex and his followers
nto treating him with some show of de-
cency and respect.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic voters of New Jersey are re-
quested to meet at such times and places as
may be designated by their loca committees,
to select delegates to a State Convention. to be
held at Taylor Opera House, in the city of
Trenton, on
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14rH, 1872
At twelve o'clock NJ. for the purpose of select
ing a candidate for Governor and candidates for
Presidential Electors.
The basis of representation will be one dele
gate for each two hundred Democratic votes
cast at the Gubernatorial election Of 1889, and
one for each fraction of the same over one
hundred; but each ward and township shall be
entitled to at least one delegate.

.Hill,s Mans TreacherY.

1t. look as if Mr.. Labor Commits
sioner Charles F. Peck had put a
quietus upon the career of David
Bennett Hill. Nobody who knows
Peck will believe that he issued that
traitorous report without the sanction
and approval of his master. Whatever
he may say, people will always regard
the act as that of the Senator himself.
1t is pleasing to see that the labor
leaders take a highly intelligent view
of the document and its misstatements
and fallacies. Matthew Barr of the
Tin and Sheet Iron Workers says
What strikes me as very peculiar is the fig
ures on the bu lding trades. They seem SO in
congruous that l must pause before / go any
further. There is scarcely a strike in this line
but what has bettered its condition since 1889.
And yet with all this. the returns show a de-
crease in wages of SOL, 829.
Before the Mckinley bill was passed, we had
considerable work on tin roofs. In many cases
gravel roofs had an equal competition with us.
but since the higher duty on tin was imposed in
every case where a gravel roof can be utilized,
il takes the place of tin, and there is less work
for US. We have been injured by the tariff and
our wages may have decreased.
Here is what George Warner of the
Housesmith's Union says
You can make figures prove any thing YOU
like, / am looking for the men of some trade
who will show me that their wages have been
ra sed by the tariff. If any trade has increased
its pay you can rely upon its being ON account
or organization Look at our trade! We work
on the buildings and are not affected by the
tariff, but the men who manufacture the iron
and steel are highly protected. During the
past four years the men who have been pro-
tected have been reduced in wages and we have
been obtaining an increase. Mr.. Peck's returns
scarcely seem consistent. He gives decreases
in wages and production in building. brick tile
and sewer pipe, but in cement, lime and plaster
there is a vast increase. As the business of one
is totally dependent on the other. and one could
not be brisk without the other, his figures GER
tainly need some explanation.
And so the process of REPUTATION
and exposure goes on through one
trade after another.
But, all the same, the Republicans
see in it a great campaign document
for them. The chairmen OF their
committees are sending in large
orders for it. They do not care
whether it is true or false, honest or
dishonest. 1t is, on its face, a vindi-
cation of the Mckinley tariff. 1t is
signed by Charles F. Peck, an alleged
Democratic official of the State of
New York. That is all they care
about,

Forcing a Boom on Judge Werts.
The Newark Journal, New York
World and other papers controlled by
James Smith, Jr., are very busy prov
ing that it would be highly criminal
in Judge Werts to decline the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor. The
Journal is particularly insistant upon
the point. Under no circumstances
must he refuse, either before or after
the Convention, it would seem, for the
Journal says:-'Neither by word or
act should he signify to the Conven-
ton his wishes in the NATTER
This is certainly a queer view of
political morals. For the Judge to
wait until after the Convention and
then refuse a nomination rendered to
him would, all must admit, be a great
wrong, and the Judge is wholly inca
pable of it. But why he should not
say what he pleases before the Con-
vention, we certainly cannot see. If he
does not want the nomination, if it is
distasteful to him, why should he not
say so with all the c~learness and m
phasis he an. AND if he says so, the
convention will have no right to force
the nomination upon him. 1t would
only be justified in doing so if no
other suitable candidate could be
found.
The Judge has already said once
that he desires not to be nominated,
hat he wishes to retain his present
office. Since then a persistent at
tempt has been made by the Smithian
organs to force him into the field. Il
may be that this will elicit from him a
further expression of his wishes. 1t
is very certain that he will do what
aver honor and the best interests of
the Democracy require at the right
time.
THE Smithites are in a funny po-
sition. Their cry is: ANYONE to beat
Youngl" and they cannot settle down
on anyone who affords them any
reasonable hope Of doing it.
They are trying to force out Judge
Werts, but do not, themselves, believe
they cam.
They are trying to put Stockton in
shape as a possible winner, and they
feel they cannot.
They are trying to train some local
celebrity for the race. They have en-
tered half a dozen. but not one shows
the least reaching power.
They are growing wild in their cast
ing around, here, there and every
where. They are panic stricken. They
have lost their heads.
1t is Young against the field, and
the field is ratified.
THE lack of confidence of the
Smithites In the Werts movement is
shown by the preparations that are
being made to regalyanize the Stock
ton boom. Under. the superficial
Werts movement, there are strong in
dications tnat an effort will be made
to launch Stockton on the conven-
ton on the 18th with a whoop
on the strength of the Reading liti-
cation. Those who are acquainted
with the Congressional history OF the
last quarter of a century are inclined
to smile at this design. And again.
the lack of confidence which it's own
projectors feel in it is shown in the
way the Donnelly, Cutler, Gourley,
Green and other local booins are kept
nice and warm, SO that Mr.. Smiths
heelers can pick them up without

was ''The Old Homestead" and DESPITE
the remarkable RUIZ the play had in New

and of course the larke audience went
away immensely pleased.
TIT part of Joshua Whitcomb was por-

are in a way his dependents, and ar tn

are imputed to him, but be is ueverthe-
less a victim rather than an oppressor.
and the clearing up of the mystery which
encircles him is full of interest and ami

The Optics exhibit of bile lately
is beginning to come back on it from
the territorial press, as the following
extracts Will show. The first is from
the Albuquerque Times:
The Las Vegas FREE PRESS, UNI
like some of its neighbors, is broad
enough in its views to overlook local
jealousies and nrges the people CT
San Miguel county to help make the
territorial fair a success, and pays a
tribute to the generosity of Albu-
querque's citizens. We hope that
the too often jaundiced Optic will
some day come to take the same
broad view of the matter.
The three following are from the
San Marcial Reporter:
The territorial fair Will occur as
per announcement, with or without
the gracious permission of the Las
Vegas Optic. If the Optic should
deign to make an exhibition on that
occasion it is to be hoped that it will
not make as disgraceful a one as at
the previous fair.
The Las Vegas Optic does not
think that the appointing power will
"descend again" to appoint Capt. L.
G. Fort as chief justice of this terri
tory. The covert fling at Judge Lee
and Capt. Fort Is very transparent.
"The position of chief justice of
New Mexico should require of the
incumbent not only legal attainments
of very high order, but integrity
winch has not been and can not be
impeached." LAS Vegas Optic.
