NEWARK, June %, 1S98.-The United
States Senatorial question in New jersey
was tackled by the executive board OF
the State Federation of Trades and Labor
Unions, which met at No. IS William
street yesterday.
1t was voted to urge the State Conven-
ton of the Federation, which meets at
Paterson On August Is to request the Re-
publican and Democratic State Conven-
tions to designate by resolution the candi-
date favored for United States Senator
so that the voters, when they vote for
State Senators and Assemblymen, may
express their preference for a candidate
for United States Senator.
The Republican and Democratic State
conventions will also be asked to de-
clare in favor of giving all political print
ing work to union printers only. The
conventions will be f, her asked to
insert in their platforms a section favor
ing eight hours as a days labor on all
State and municipal work.
The board voted to ask Governor
voorhees,, when he appoints six deputy
factory inspectors next week to choose
only men identified with organized labor.
H. J. Gottlob. chairman of the board,
made a general report on the result of
the efforts to get labor legislation at
Trenton last winter. Only two bills be-
came laws. Governor Voorhees, killed
three by vetoes, and several were killed
in the Senate and Assembly.
These resolutions were adopted by thu
Board
Resolved. That the executive board
of the Federation of Trades and
Labor Unions sincerely regret the re-
suit of the past years efforts in the
direction of labor legislation. PractI-
cally all remedial legislation was
either killed by the Legislators or
vetoed by the Governor: This has
history of the past few years. The
contempt with which all our measures
were treated is growing year by year;
not only that, but proposed legisla-
ton which was intended to benefit the
wageworkers has been brushed aside,
On the other hand, corporate influence
has been patent.
! of the New Jersey Federation OF
Trades Unions regrets and condemns
the subversion of the labor depart
ments to partisan ends. Today, for the
first time in the history of the Labor
Bureau, neither the chief nor secre-
tary is a labor organization man. The
former is a merchant and the latter IS
a lawyer. The head of the Factory
Inspector Department never had FAC
tory experience. as employer or en-
ploye. The Arbitration Board is more
representative of the employing n
the employees interests, and Is a par
tisan construction.

shoulder grazed by the stone in its de-
scent.

THE INDIAN IuGGLER.

A correspondent writing from India
regarding the theory that the jugglers
perform their tricks. by ''will-power,"
says: During the course Of the Indian
mutiny I made the acquaintance of one
of these gentlemen of India. who tried
to instruct me how to perform these
tricks. He said it was all Imaginary on
the part of the spectators, as he simply
willed that they should see those
things. Yet l. in common with West
ern nations, was too animalized, sensu-
al, and materialized by flesh-eating
and consumption Of alcohol to retain or
accept any deep spiritual teaching.
''The most exciting performance that
he gave for my amusement was the
converting Of a bamboo stick into ma
tive servant, who waited at table and
supplied our wants. Afterward--in his
absence-I tried 1t on, and to my sur
prise the same man was before me ask
ing for instructions. directed him to
fill the chattfes on the veranda with
water from the we'll in the compound.
This he proceeded to do. When he had
filled them all to overlooking I request
ed him to stop. He however, took no
notice of me- and went on stolidly
bringing in the water, until, in my ex-
cited imagination, it seemed that the
bungalow would be washed away.
Finding that I could not arrest or stop
his movements, he passing through me
as though / did not exist, drew my
sword and lay in wait for him. Making
slash, apparently cut him in twain,
when 10! there were two men bringing

restrain or prevent from doing so.
II was completely out of my depth,
when heard a quiet laugh behind me,
and on turning found it was my in
structor, who held up his right hand,
and the two men disappeared, the stick
resuming it's place on the veranda, and
to crown all, there was not the slight
est sign of any water having been
brought in. I excitedly appeared to
him for an explanation. He said that
he had been present all the time, hav-
ing willed that he should be invisible to
me, and that should imagine myself
to see and do what had thought had
taken place. In order to prove it, he
asked me to step out into the COM
pound, and directed my attention to a
huge cavern, which I knew was not
there before. AS / entered, a number
of huge elephants and camels issued
from it in a. continuous stream, yet
could not touch one of them. They APP
parently passed over me as though
did not exist. He again raised his
hand, and the cavern and animals dis
appeared, and there was no indication
of any exodus of any kind. Scottish

AFTER DINNER oRAroRY.

Although forensic oratory" is fast
debating at it's best calls out but per-
functory interest from the body Of
students, although what is left Of Con-
gressional eloquence is worth, speaking
comparatively, but passing mention
in the press, although the address is
supplanting the grafton, and is itself
tolerated as a perhaps necessary bore,
yet there probably never was time
when the ''after-dinner orator" -four
ished as he does to-day. "Epochs are
signalized by their eatings," some
where remarks Kenelm Chillingly, the
nineteenth century philosopher; and
our own is signalized by the bad di-
gestion which waits on oratory a la
mode.
1t is typical of the American way of
doing things-just as we play our ma
tional game by crowding around a
diamond" to watch professionals play
it for us, that at our dinners we have
our talking done for us, if not by pro-
fessionals, at least by men who make
profession of it. These are the men
who, as one of their number wittily de-
scribed it, are to be found regularly
each dining season travelling 1.-THE
post-prandial circuit" They are pop
ular, recognized purveyors of this kind
of oratory as distinctly marked as a
class as are clergynen or actors.
Their ministrations have brought to
perfection the art of sameness in pub
lie or semi-public dining, and have re-
duced this form of entertainment to a
system which turns out so many
speeches Of so many words, guaran-
teed to draw SO many parts laugh
ter to so many parts applause. -
The question always suggests itself
whether, as ostensibly, the dinner Is
given as an opportunity for the orato-
ry, or the oratory Is simply an excuse
for giving the dinner.-Outlook.
