THE LA'BOR BUREAU.
a Sketch of Some of .the Legislation
Effected by Mr. Kizer.
The news of the passage of the Hon.
C. G. Klzer's bill establishing a Rurenu
nt Labor and Industrial Statistics in
the State Sennte yesterday was received
with enthusiasm by the labor element
here, and Mr. Klzer. who largely repre?
sents the Inter-'sts of that class, was
the recipient of many compliments.
Tt Is considered little less than re?
markable that he should have secured
the passage of a measure creating a new
bureau, when others were being abol?
ished and general retrenchment Is the
cry all along the line. Especially bo
since all previous efforts to establish
n bureau of this kind have failed, except
in one case, .when a bill was passed, but
the appropriation k carried was taken
I from it, and the measure fell flat,
j It was brought up again and again,
and considerable work was exp? dded
lipon Ii by the labor unions of the State
! but without success. The bill was once
I reported fav irnbly and passed the
House, bui was defeated in the Senate.
It war: brought up again at the next
session, but was referred to a com
mlttee, from which It was never return?
ed'.
In view of the adverse notion mul the
inaction of pn vlous sessions of the Leg?
islature, and the failure of previous pa?
trons of the bill, the passage Is regarded
as a victory far organised labor and
Mr. Kizer.
This gentleman has Introduced in the
L' glslature a number of bills, all of
which have i>eer, pustiod.
Those bills having most Int. rest for
organized labor and 'the working classes
generally are; a bill prohibiting union
labels and trade marks from being
counterfeited; a bill providing seats for
female l;imployes hi ?hops, factories
ctnd stores: and |he Mil establishing the
Bureau oi Labor and Industrial Sta

AtN INTERESTING STORY.
A very interesting story was that
told by Rev. Mr. Brown at St. Luke's
Church last Sunday morning, and a
large congregation heard it attentively.
.Mr. Brown is a missionary stationed
in Brazil with some few others, en?
gaged In propagating the EpIscojKil
faith there, and Is. it seems, In the
United States temporarily, endeavor?
ing to arouse interest In the work. He
stated that he had already spoken In
Xew York, Philadelphia and some of
the other large cities. Ho is a splen?
did pulpit orator, und his interesting
subject was admirably handled. He
gave a better Idea of the country nnd !
the conditions there than most people
pessess. explained that Brazil Is a
country larger than the United States
(Alaska excepted), that It hod, how?
ever, but fifteen million Inhabitants, ,
that but fifteen per cent of the people
could read. He told of the settlement
of the country by the Portuguese, by
whom It Is governed to this day, and
gave other interesting dlscrlptions of
this little known country nnd people.
He spoke again In the afternoon on the
same subject.

discipline." and cites the case of a
Pnttcd States cruiser which was lately
tit Venice, describing her crew as be?
ing "rather pirates than sailors or a
civilized nation."
Continuing, El Correo says: "Drunk?
ards, In subordinates, thlves and light?
ers, the sailors of the United Slates
never set Toot ashore without creating
riots. Nightly several or them slept In
Jail, or were taken on board under
arrest, until the municipality was
rorced to formally complain to the
commander and request him not to al?
low his men to land, as otherwise
they could not be answerable for the
consequences. Had these ofllclals be?
longed to the Christina, regime, the
United Stales would have replied by
demanding an indemnity or an apology,
or both, with the certainty of obtain?
ing It. But, the protest not being
Spanish, no attention vvos paid to It,
t'he cruiser leaving Italy. This naval
convict ship, which Is never free from
the fumes of alcohol, must be a twin
sister of the Maine. It Is a marvelous
thing In such hands, that one of their
ships does not blow up daily."
