A LESSON TO GIRLS.
Don't Pick Up With Fellows On
Your Way to HOboken, They
May Be Thieves or Worse.

Miss Mamie Stempf, buxom seven
teen year old German lass. called at
Police Headquarters in Hoboken yester-
day aud told a strange st ory, which the
police are investigating. Miss Stempf
stated that she was employed as ser
want girl in a New York family. On
Thursday night she left her position and
started to go TO her brothers house at
No. 1S6 Newark street, Hoboken. She
left a third avenue elevated train at the
City Hall station about half past seven
O'Clock and started across the park.
When about half way across she was
accosted, she says, in German, by a we'll
dressed stranger. He asked he where sne
was going, and she told him that she was
going to visit her brother in Hoboken.
He said he lived in Hoboken, and as he
was going that way he would accompany
her. The fellow spoke so friendly and
appeared so gentlemanlIke that the girl
gave her consent. He boarded the ferry
boat with her and when the boat reached
the Hoboken side he agreed to carry her
bundle. The bundle contained a seal
skin sacque and several other articles OF
wearing apparel She gave him the
bundle. He then brought the girl TO
River street and tried TO get her to enter
a saloon with him. She refused and he
went in there himself.
The girl waited for him, but he did not
return. He lit out the side entrance with
her bundle, aud has not been seen since.
Detective Sergeant Rathjen and Police
man Nelson are at work on the case.

 Although the census reports relating to manufactures have not yet been pub- hshed, they have been sufficiently com pleted to warrant an estimate and fur nish some very interesting facts for our consideration. According to the esti- mate as made by Superintendent Porter of the Census Bureau, the capital in- vested in manufacturing enterprises has doubled in 20 years, and the amount thus employed is putat S4, 500, 0o), GOO, The value of products from the em- ployment of this vast amount of capital is put at sS,60o, ,O0o, 900; an increase of about 50 per cent over the figures for 1880. The amount of wages paid has increased at tue rate of $50, ,000; COG annually, and now amount to about s1, 300, 900, GOO, and the number oi wage earners has increased about 900, 900 in the decade These figures make a showing which is hardly to bo com, Preheided, but they represent an in. dustrial progress which is unprecedent- ed in the worlds history, and leavel little for croakers to growl over.

After seven months of desultory war fare in Chile the Congressional party has triumphed. In the battle near Valparaiso, on the 18th ultimo, Bal naceda's army was routed, his gener- als killed, and he, himself, is fugitive, Valparaiso, and Santiago, the capital of Chile, are in possession of the yic- torious army. All is yet turmoil in the unhappy republic, but doubtless, or der will be quickly restored and main tained by the provisional government, until an election can be held.
 The victory of the Insurgents is pop ular in the United States, as by reason of our traditions, we naturally espouse the cause of the downtrodden and re- sent the least suggestion of tyranny, However, in the rivalry of ambitious leaders, the facts are often distorted, andan erronious public opinion created. While many of Balmaceda's acts of cruelty and despotism were wholly un- justified, yet his defense deserves some consideration. He was placed in pow. CT by the liberal party composed of powerful factions not harmonious, and his repeated efforts to satisfy all in the formation of cabinet were futile. He claims that Congress usurped his pow CTS and not until further submission meant sbdication of office, did he re. sent their usurpation. The formation of rival government, it's withdrawal from the capital, and open rebellion, followed. Whatever of truth there may be in Balmaeeda's defense, it will avail nothing now. The Congressional party has won and the righteousness oi their cause is very generally conceded.

The decision of Judge Hammond, of the U. s. District Court of Tennessee, in the King case, is attracting wide al. tentien. The defendant was convicted of She hein6us crime of working on Sunday. It is day set apart for rest in Tennessee, the law prescribing labor, except works of necessity and mercy" Mir. King is Seventh Day Adventist, which sect observes Saturday for wor- ship and rest. The Adventists are few in numbers, and therefore must submit to the will of tho majority. If their positions were reversed Mir King and bis brethren might pass law denying people the privilege of washing their feet on Saturday, and as that is the day on which most people take their weekly baths, half of the citizens of the State might be landed in jail--unless it be that the majority of Tennesseeans sell dom wash, which we verify suspect of people who enact such law.
 The decision is one of profound sig nificance, since it denies that religious liberty for which our forefathers con tended and which has always been sup- posed was guaranteed by the Gonstitu- ton, if not in set words, by implication at least. Judge Hammond aflirms that State may, If it chooses, establish q creed and church and maintain it. The argument upon which this conclu- sion is based is the familiar strict con struetioh drawn from the tenth amend ment, which reserves to the States 'the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor pro hibited by it to the States, Congress, it,is true, is forbidden to make any Claw respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, but there is nowhere in the Constitution such n prohibition against the States If Judge Hammond's dc- cision ia sustained (and the case has been appealed to the Supreme CourD then it would be in the power of any hierarchy, or coalition of churches controlling majority of votes in any State, to enact laws prescribing such religious obligations, and penalties for their non-observance, as their bigory might suggest, No one would Do free from the menace of religious persecu- ton, and the re-enactmeat of the Blue Laws of Connecticut would not be in. possible.
 The Sixteenth Legislature of Arizona enacted Sunday law which forbade any store, workshop, bar, saloon, bank ing house or other place of business keeping open on Sunday, within the limits of any incorporated city, but owing to public opinion discountenan- cing such restriction, the law has re- mained dead letter. It is questiona- ble if a law restricting in any way the liberty of the citizen of Territory will stand, since the form of govern ment is subordinate, its laws being sub ject to approval by Congress, and as already stated, Congress itself is pro. hibited from making laws infringing the liberty of the people.
