AMERICAN SEAMAN A SLAVE.

The personal treatment accorded
the seaman by American ships off,
GERS is the most oppressive, because
the most acute, feature of his life.
Extreme brutality is the rule, almost
without exception. 1t is a standing
charge against our maritime law that
it requires no qualification other than
that of citizenship on the part of sail
ing-ship officers. In this respect the
United States stands alone among
maritime nations of any consequence.
The result is that the men in authority
on board American ships are chosen
for their ability to drive" l. e., to
beat, the men under them, rather
than for their ability as seamen and
navigators. The reputation thus
attained finds it's sequence in an
esprit de corps leading to the COM
mission of the most wanton bru-
talities conceivable by minds trained
to ingenious methods of inflicting
torture upon their subordinates, and
undeterred by the fear of conse-
quences, social or legal The frequent
recurrence of seamen's charges against
chips officers, and the monotonous
regularity with which these charges
are dismissed by the courts, has
created a feeling of Indifference, and
even scepticism, on the part of the
public. The charges made by the sea-
men appear incredible when judged
by the standard of conduct prevailing
at sea and is one of practical slavery,
in which a Legree is an actual person.
ification. An investigation shows that
during the past eleven years more
than one hundred ships crews have
brought charges against their off,
GERS in ports of the United States
alone. This list includes only those
cases that have come most promi-
nently before the public. Character
istic features of this record are: Fif-
teen deaths suited from the treat
ment received, many cases resulted
IN the loss of limbs, eyes, or teeth, and
in other injuries of permanent char
acter, including insanity; several
suicides are attributed to persecu-
ton; only seven convictions were OBJ
penalties inflicted were merely nomi-
nal; the names of certain ships and
their officers recur frequently in the
list.
At the present moment an American
boy named Amos Stone, a native of
Boston, and the son of respectable
parents, is an inmate of a lunatic
asylum at Seattle, Washington, as the
result of treatment received at the
hands of the officers of an American
ship. Another American boy, Eph-
rain w. Clark, has been confined in
Thomaston (Maine) penitentiary for
more than twenty-three years for
mutiny under circumstances of the
most extreme provocation. Such cases
contain sufficient explanation Of the
native Americans aversion to the sea-

the Erzgebirg of Saxony. which. ON
account of their forests and abundant
water-power, have enabled the manu.
facturers of Saxony to produce MANY
of the more common toys formerly
made in Sonneberg.
The INST recent statistics show that
Germany has exported 10000, GOO
marks ($1e, 125,OOO) worth of toys,
while in 1895 but 100000 marks
($7,500,000) worth were sent abroad.
Including the toys sold in Germany,
the product of the entire German in
dustry is probably worth 5O,O00,00O
marks (S12, 500,000), from which $780,
900 marks ($1S7, 5OO), representing the
value of toys imported from foreign
countries, must be deducted. Son.
neberg undeniably produces half the
toys made in Germany. The two
largest buyers of German toys are
the United States and England. Last
year the United States imported Ger
man toys to the value of 100000
marks $2,750,0O0), England to the
value of 100000 marks (S3, 750,000).
Of the products exported to the United
States 100000 marks 81, ,000)
worth were supplied by Sonneberg.
A similar proportion holds good for
England. To the development of toy
manufacture and to the rise of doll
making is due the increase in the
number of export houses in Some
berg. In the COS there were about
30 export firms. BY 1880 the num-
Der had increased to 4S, and by 1896
to TO- According to the latest statis-
tics, there are 40,S29 persons engaged
in German toy manufactures, of
which number Al per cent. are en-
ployed in Sachsen-M einigen. In the

cent. of the population are engaged In

Cafe Dining Car Service on Q. & c.
Route.

Commencing Sunday, June 18th inst.
the train leaving New Orleans via the
Queen & Crescent Route at 7:30 d. m
daily for the summer resorts of Tennes
see and Virgioia, and for Washington
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, will take on Cafe Dining Car at
Alfalfa, Ala, and carry it to Radfo
Va, serving meals la carte.
This car returning will be attached
at Raaford and run to Alfalfa.
The hours are very favorable, and
the service will be first class in every
particular.
The route OF the car via Chatta-
nooga and through the Cum berland
and Blude Ridge Mountain region en-
ables the traveller to view some of the
most beautiful scenery in the country
while enjoying his meals.
The a la carte plan of dining car
enables the passenger to almost pro-
cure any sort of meal that suits his
fancy. from cup of coffee and roll to
an elaborate spread, paying only for
what he orders.
This feature of the Queen & Cres-
cent service will, no doubt, be fully ap-
preciated by the travelling public, and
that it will receive very liberal patron
age cannot be doubted.

passengers from these places will be

New Jersey, Mother of Trusts,

New Jersey, Mother of Trusts,
Dallas News.
Texas is said to have taken a seat or
New Jersey. Attorney General Smith
has advised Secretary of State Hard y
that hereafter certain corporations
chartered under the laws of New Jer-
sey for the purpose of doing business
in Texas, shall not be granted permit
to do business in this state. Attorney
General Smith bases his action on the
ground that the granting of such per-
mits is against public policy. Gov.
Voorhees, of New Jersey declares that
he has no intention of attending
the antitrust convention in
ST. Louis, to which he had
been invited by Gov. Sayers of Texas.
He says that he does not see what
good such a convention can accom-
plish; that no good will come of it.,
New Jersey has done a great business
peddling charters. This has been an
enterprise in which this little state
has led the country, just as Dakota
made its jack by selling divorces in
job lots. 1T is questionable whether
an order excluding all corporations
under Jersey charters is wise. Some
charters granted under the laws of
New Jersey may be legitimate Ii
censes to transact legitimate aud use
full lines of business. There is no
reason why companies form
ed under these should be
excluded. There is, however, no doubt
that a general order if adopted by all
antitrust states, will give to New Jer-
sey very black eye. The state will
have to open up some other line of bust
ness. No wonder, under the circun-
stances, that Gov. Voorhees, should
have rejected, with a sneer, an invita-
tion to attend a meeting designed. first
of all, to kill the best line of business
in his own state. The sign over the
front door of his capitol is, Charters
of any old sort for sale cheap. Come
in ;,
