The State of New Jersey is financially

The facts gathered by over 4,W0 corre
spondents, which are given in the last
number of Brartstreet's relative to the
condition of the industrial interests of the
country and the number of workingmen
out of employment, present a rather
gloomy picture.
It is a picture calculated to make pro
tectionists wonder whether, after all, the
protective system can he depended on to
furnish plenty of work to workingmen at
good wages and keep the manufactories
of the country busy and prosperous.
It appears that twenty-two States, in
cluding Maryland, Virginia, West \ ir
ginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and all States
north of them, employ nine-tenths of the
wage-earners in manufacturing and min
ing pursuits. The number in 1882 was
2.700,000. Of that numler 350.000 are now
out of employment; that is, one wage
earner out of seven is out of employment.
The reduction in wages has been from 10
to 23 ier cent. The average is, perhaps,
al>out 18 per cent. At present, therefore,
there is paid to the wage-workers a little
more than three-fourths the amouut that
was paid to them two years ago.
It can lie seen readilv how the decrease
iu the amount distributed affects all kinds
ot business. When hard times are spoken
of it means a great deal more than ap
pears on the surface.
The number of strikers at present is
17,550. It is claimed that where the
trades unions are strongest the downword
tendency of wages is least. It seems sur
prising that there are so many strikers,
and that the number excites so little
comment. They are so widely scattered,
however, that they do not attract much
notice.
Some of the details given in Bradstreet's
are rather interesting. There are 18,000
tewer operatives in the boot and shoe
trade than in 1882. The market, however,
is as well supplied with boots and shoes

'those Siployed in working iron—
Mast furnaces to locomotive shops—
iKoo are out of employment. This is one

been very much reduced. The output ol

more than one-third of what it was in 1882,
ar.d of the steel rail mills about ono-half-
In New England aud the Middle States
16 per cent, of those employed
in woolen mills in 1880, is idle. There
has been no falling off, however, in the
sale of woolen goods. The demend hasn't
kept pace with the increase of population
however.
There are out of work 35,000 clothing
makers, 20,000 cotton operators, 13,000
cigar makers, 4,700 glass makers, and
2,000 silk weavers.
The wonder is how these people live.
Asa rule, when employed they are un
able to save anything. Some few, per
haps, have enough to support themselves
comfortably for a while, but the great
mass of them must be fighting a hard
fight with hunger and cold.
The present depression which all
kinds of manufacturing interests
are suffering cannot be charged to
the account of the tariff reformers,
although the protectionists would like,
doubtless, to charze it to them. It is the
logical result of the protective system.
Senator Lamar, nearly three years ago, in
a speech in the Senate, predicted wbat is
now taking place. He said that the pro
tective system would work admirably as
long as the country could absorb the pro
ducts of the mills, but that disaster would
come when the output of the mills was
greater than the wants of the country.
The Dakota War.
There is so much speculation in lands
and town lots in Dakota that quarrels
over the locations ot count}* seats are not
unusual. Every once in a while a county
seat war Is reported to be in progress in
that Territory. The one that is attracting
attention there now looks rather threat
ening. One party wants the county seat
of a certain county at Traverse, and the
other wants it to remain at Wilmot. The
Traverse party has the records, and they
are guarded by determined men armed
w.th shotguns and Winchester rifles.
The women and children have been
ordered away from the town in ex
pectation ot a bloody fight. Tbe
Wilmot party Is also armed with Win
chester rifles and shotguns, and is ex
pected to attack Traverse very soon. Beth
sides having determined to have the
county records or die, there is a slight
prospect that Traverse will be painted
red.
Dakota is growing so rapidly, however,
that the loss of a few voters will not be
greatly missed. If men of Dakota would
rather fight over the location of a county
seat than to settle the matter amicably
and in accordance with the demands of
fairness and justice, it is probable that
nobody will interfere to prevent them
from shooting one another.
Not very long ago there was a similar
war in Dakota over the location of the
State capital. Great care was taken to
get commissioners to select the site who
it was thought would act honestly and
for the best interest of the people of the
Territory. It turned out, however, that
a very large part of the place selected had
been purchased by the commissioners,
and that if their action had been con
firmed they would, in all probability, have
made fortunes.
Dakota Is knocking at the door of the
Uuion and asking admission. Before her
request is granted it would be well for
her people to prove that they are law
abiding citizens. The warlike attitude
which the_people of Traverse and Wilmot
are maintaining towards each other indi
cates that they need a little disciplining
before being entrusted with the manage
ment of their political affairs.
Minister Hasson's Dispatch.
Mr. John A. Kasson, our Minister to
Germany, sent the following dispatch to
his friends in Iowa:
Berlin, Dec. 18.—The report of cheer
ing for Cleveland at the American Thanks
giving banquet here was a willful false
hood. Kasson*.
It would not be easy to determine why
Mr. Kasson sent this dispatch. He has
always been credited with Laving a fair
amount of good sense, although there
were those who knew him well in Con
gress who thought that he was some
thing of a dude. What difference
did it make to him whether or
not a report was published in this
country that the President-elect was
cheered at the American Thanksgiving
banquet at Berlin? Why shouldn’t be
have been cheered? What more natural
thing could have occurred at the banquet
than cheers for Gov. Cleveland? It is
probable that there were Democrats as
well as Republicans at the banquet, and
that the cheers, If there were cheers, were
instigated by an enthusiastic and patriotic
Democrat. But if all present at the ban
quet were Republicans, there is no
reason why there should not have
been cheers for the next President
if there were cheers for anybody. Mr.
Kasson does not show indignation because
it was reported that there were cheers
at the banquet, but because it was
reported that there were cheers for
Gov. Cleveland. Clearly Mr. Kasson has
shown himself unworthy to represent the
United States at Berlin. He ought to be
recalled before he commits some grave
blunder that will cause the nation to
blush for him.

of practice. A servant who received a wound

according to ancient usages. The court held
that "every medical practitioner should keep
himself informed on the accomplished prog

ot modern systems of treatment. If these
had been employed the patient’s life might
have been saved, hence the liability for negli
gence.’’ The Court of Appeal sustained the
judgment.
A curious phenomenon was observed re
cently at the London Zoo. A few weeks since
a fine lioness began to eat her own tail. In
one day she removed at her leisure about 12
inches, and after a brief interval she re
sumed her repast and swallowed some more.
She was then placed in a very narrow box in
the hope that something might be done with
the bleeding stump, and that she might be
prevented from further asaults upon herself.
But she was not to be denied. The tail has
almost entirely disappeared, and she has now
directe 1 attention to one of her forepaws. If
time only is allowed she may succeed in per
forming the astounding feat of disappearing
down her own throat.

THE FLORIDA SENSATION.
A Merchant Forced to Marry Against
His Will—A Remarkable Story.
The Morning News a week or more
ago contained a special from Marianna,
Fla., giving an account of a forced mar
riage between a young merchant of that
place named J. D. Smith, and a young
woman living a lew miles from that town.
A day or two ago Mr. Smith was at Thom
usville, Ga., and told the following re
markable story about the affair to a cor
respondent of the Atlanta Constitution:
Thomasvili.e, Dec. 21.—Mr. J. D.
Smith, the victim of the forced marriage
in M manna, Fla., is here, and tells a re
markable story concerning that event.
He says:
WARNED OF DANGER.
On Monday or Tuesday, about Nov. 23, 1884,
soon after "my reluru from Thomasvilie to
Marianna. Fla., .1. H. McKinnie sent for me
to come to his office. On approaehing him he
remarked in a disgusting way: "Hell’s to
i lav. Jeff " I did not understand him, tliink
:m;" that he was speaking of a suit I had
brought a few lays Indore in a certain Logan
matter. I demanded au explanation of him.
lie staled that John Ixmg had approached
him lo prosec to me for having injured his
girl. Being so horrified aud disgusted, know
ing 1 had not met liis daughter but twice in
two vears, l di 1 not believe a word and con
sidered it some of liis jokes, hut he swore to
me as a friend, lie s dd, that it was true, and
p , ,-. . ded to state that if I would pay *6O or
U<o lie would get me a receipt in full of all
dam iges and slop the trouble. I did not be
• vo a word McKinnie said, and thought it
son e joke and would not say anything more.
McKinne then told me lie would make other
arrangements. Some few days afterwards
men a came with a message, stating that Long
was going to ki'l me. I uni not make inyself
uneasy about the matter, for I knew that if
1. dig thought such a thing he would come to
me and I would prove to him that I on y met
his daughter twice in a long time. This was
a trap some outrageous fellow had laid for
me to only clear his own skirts. Soon after
Long died.
CARRIED OFF BY FORCE.

pieioned something, knowing this fellow was
an uncle of the girl, but thought ho wanted to
carry me to face some of his relations. Little
• lid t think he intended any violence until he
drew his pistol under his coat and cursed me,
.stating that if 1 opened my mouth or
moved lie would kill me on the spot,
and before I could realize the situation I
saw Bolds and several |others with shotguns
and pistols all around me. They told me 1
had logo and marry this woman or die. I
refused to go and Bolds and Finalyson laid
hands on me. I threw them both from the
buggv, and fell to the grouud myseir; the
buggy ran over one. 1 attemuted to get
away, but was seized around the waist and
held fast. A struggle took place and thev
llnallyjgot me in the buggy the second time, and
J succeeded in getting out. Iu the meantime
Miller and some others guarded back the
crowd, and told them that if anyone came to
mv rescue that they would kill them. This
kept hack the crowd, as none seemed armed.
1 saw T. W. llentz coming to my rescue, and
Miller halted him with his gun; Hunt* drew
a pistol ami soil'd have come, but T. \\ . Con
ley and Mr. Slu-p Phillip caught Heutz and
carried him inside a gate, telling him liis life
would be taken in such a crowd. I became
overcome by the struggle with these men;
was thrown in the buggy again'aml off we
were drawn. 1 grasped the lines and stopped
ti e buggv; Bolds hallooed for some of their
party to come forward and rule the mule out
of town, and one of the party immediately
mounted the mule and cut the lines from my
grasp. At this moment Senator McKinnie
rode up and gave them his stick to get the
mule off. I was cramped in tho buggy, with
Un-se fellows holding me down, aud was thus
carried to Finnic soil's house, where I was
lakt n in a room and shut in, guarded by Bolds
and I'inalyson, both swearing that if 1 moved
they would kill me.
AT THE LADY’S SIDE.
Then the raving woman was brought in to
me. She knew I was going to prove my inno
cence, and she would not allow me to say
much, but talked so rapidly, and seemed to be
so terribly excited, that 1 became disgusted,
giving her plenty ®f time to say all she wanted
to. They swore’that I had to marry the girl,
and they intended to kill me or make me
marry her. I was held in the buggy aud car
ried through the woods, these parties fearing
if they traveled the road some of my friends
would"follow and overtake us. I became very
weak, having had such a terrible struggle
with those fellows and riding in the cold air.
I was taken with a shaking ague, and was
thus carried in a buggy over logs, through
rough places, until we reached Mr. Grifliu’s.
(the Justice of the Peace) house, over ten miles
from Marianna. 1 told them I would never
marry. They might kill me, but it would do
no good. Finalyson went forward and called
out Griffin. I did not hear what he told
Griffin, but Griffin afterwards said that
Finalyson frightened him to consent to
perform the ceremony, and he had
refused, knowing I was not will
ing. I was then taken from the buggy and
carried iu the house in a condition that few
nieu have ever experienced. Being wi)d with
grief I knew nothing, but on seeing a big fire
in the chimney 1 was gratified to even he
warm again. 1 was placed before the fire,
and the girl brought to my left side. The
parties all stood around. I did not look at
any one. I was determined to ignore the
whole business. Griffin tried toreaa thecere
mony. I said not a word, and when they said
“ Join hands” I did nothing. They forced my
right hand to left side, and she took the
ends of my fingers. I asked the vagabonds if
they were" through with me. They said yes.
One of them asked me if I would not like to
take a ride with my wife. I told them this
woman was not my wife. Here Finalysou
and Coles joined hands and swore that by the
heavens above that they would kill me if "I did
not live with her, and that I should not live
in this or any other county unless I lived with
this woman."
The affair seemed to be a dreadful dream.
I cou'd not realize what I was doing; I knew
not where to go nor what to do. I was crazy,
as it seems. I was given some country rum
by Mr. Griffin. A horse was lurmshed me at
mv request, and I returned to town thinking
I had not a friend in the world. Nothing
could cohvev to the minds of men my feelings:
death woulu have been preferable." I passed
some of my friends in the road, but they told
me afterwards that 1 was riding so rapidly
that they could not attract my attention. On
reaching home I found all the boys excited
and armed to come to my rescue, but as it
was too late they could only" try to console me.
THE SCENE WITH SENATOR M’KINNIE.
The next morning I went to Senator Me-
Kinnie, and in the presence of 50 men, I
slapped his face and made him acknowledge
what I nave stated, t told him he was the
instigator of this whole matter, trying to ruin
me by fastening on me liis own guilt with this
young lady. I caught him by liis whiskers,
and intended to hold him out and frail him
good wdth his buggv whip. He did not resist
or deny a single thing I liadcharged him with.
I would have given him a good liorse-whip
dng, but some of my friends seemed to think
I wanted to kill him, and pulled me off'. I
pulled oat his whiskers, which disfigured his
face somewhat. Ido not wish to do Mr. Mc-
Kinnie any injustice, but I am persuaded that
lie was at the bottom of the whole matter anil
he and all his crowd must be brought to jus
tice. It is a consolation to me to snow that
everywhere I have received nothing but ex
pre-sionsof sympathy. All parties concerned
in that conspiracy to ruin me for the guilt of
another have been put under bond and the
case is now in the hands of the law. No other
step will be taken unless this should prove
fruitless. I have received warning that these
fellows are planning to kill me if I should re
turn to and live at Marianna, which I intend
to do immediately and give them a chance to
carry out their threat.
