The Cour,s and the Boycott, rs.


The courts decide against the Ioycot-
( tiers whenever they make decision IN a
case in which boycotters are Interested
/ That boycotting is unlawful there IS no
doubt, and it is so generally condemned
| that there As no difficulty in getting jurles
to find yerdicts against those shown TO be
guilty Oft.
Already in New York and other cities
boycotters have been lined and imprison-
ed, and several decisions have been rem
dered by the higher courts in which it is
held that boycotting Is unlawful.
Recently in New Haven some boycott
ters were convicted, and the Judge,
in his instructions to the jury, said that
trades unions might agree among them
selves not to deal with a certain man,
and they might even ask their friends not
10 deal with him, but later, Judge Bond,
of the United States Court at Baltimore,
in an injunction case, held that the con-
spirscy to breaG down a lawful business
was criminal. He held that a person is
at liberty to buy where he pleases, but is
not at liberty to engage in conspiracy
W al dN u du6 dN hN HUM dHDAlltIs
When it gets to be generally under
stood that boycotting is a crime, and that
the courts Will punish those who are
guilty oft, the advocates of the boycott
will not be quite 80 numerous as they
are at present.
A little consideration will show that it
threatens more harm TO wOrkingmen than
to capitalists. No business man can be
boycolted without injurIng working peo-
pie. If the boycott against Ehret, the
brewer, were to be successful,
five hundred workingmen probably
would be thrown out of employment, and,
including those who are dependent upon
them, 1900 or 1000 people would be with
out bread.
few disappointed men propose to re-
duce these 1000 people to the condition Of
beggars because they think they have a
grievance against Ehret.
Judged by this case, and it is a sample
one, who will say that the boycott is not
cruel and barbarous--an instrument OF
revenge and not of justice?
II the boycott were to be used long
enough it would check all kinds of bust
ness, produce trade siagnation and ruin
and bring the boycotters themselves face
to face with starvation.

DELAYED Mails.

There are occasions when delays in the
mails are eXcusablc, but it would be hard
to believe that all the delays in the deliv-
cry of the mails at points south OF this
city are excusable.
The complaints received at the NEWS
office about the failure of the newspaper
mails are numerous, and these failures
mean annoyance to newspaper readers
and serious loss to newspaper publishers.
''For four weeks" says a correspondent
whose complaint was received yeste rday
from Florida, "our mails have been fear
full, and this has made it hard for the sale
of papers. We generally sell out when
the mails are on time, but when they are
a day late the papers are an entire loss"
There is clearly something wrong some
where. The Post Office Department
seems disposed to do what it can to give
this section OF country a good mail SER
vice, but somehow or other it fails to do
so. How long, for instance, would New
York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania stand
the sort Ofmail service that portions of the
South have? If the mails in any part of
any one OF these States, or OF many of the
OIneI otdtS5 WulCu COulu D6 named,
should fail once there would be such pro-
tests made to the Post Office Department
that the Postmaster General would be
tempted to annul the contract Of the de-
linquent contractor, unless an excuse
that was wholly satisfactory were pre-
scented.
The trouble here in the South is that the
people have been accustomed so long to
bad mail service that they don't protest
when they are imposed upon unless the
imposition is so fragrant that they
lose their patience entirely. Some con-
tractors seem to understand this, and
hence comply with their contracts for
carrying the mails only so far as it suits
their convenience to do SO.
The thing fOc the people to do is to make
their wrongs known TO the proper au-
thorities, and to insist upon better SER
vice. II they protest vigorously enough
they Will be heard and needed.
The MORNING NEWS has called atten-
| tlon number of times TO the delays IN
the mails, and has succeeded in getting
the mail service improved for
few days or weeks, but eventually it
drops back into the same old ruts. The
| only thing lett to be done now is bring the
/ complaints relative TO the bad mail SER
vice to the attention Of the Post Office De-
partment, and insist upon its improve
ment so vigorously that the department
will see to it that contractors live up TO
their agreements.

A Genuine Kentucky Welcome.

To traveller in a strange land there is,
perhaps, nothing so gratifying as to meet
one Of bis own countrymen, especially il
that countryman be OF the same religious
and political faith. EiItor Henry Wat
terson went over from England to swift
erand last week, leaving behind him
British snObbery, corruption and oDpres-
sion, and when ne crossed the border into
the little Alpine republic he at once began
TO sniff the air Of liberty. But what de-
lighted him more than anything else was
the fact that when he stepped off the train
he FELL as 1t were, into the extended arms
of the Hon. Boyd Winchester, United
States Consul General at Geneva, who,
the brilliant editor writes, ''met me as one
Kentuckian should meet another"
What volumes OF social happiness and
poetic joy are expressed in those words.
There, far away from home, in a country
OF strange tongues, with snOw-capped
mountains around and the placid lake
near by-to meet a genuine Kentucky
welcome was enough to delight the heart.
What mattered it if the Jungfrau did
play hide and seek behind the clouds, was
Ii. w. not once again beneath the stars
and stripes, and did he not have q genuine
Kentucky welcome2
One can imagine how gracefully the
learned and polished Consul General
opened the sideboard and sat out the old
brown jag and drew forth the corn cob
stopper and poured forth the libations in
genuine antique ''sour mash" to "Uncle
SAM" and "Old Kaintuck," and "Our
Democratic President ana his bonnie
bride" and how even the distinguished
guesp was too happy to have even
thought of vetoing our Democratic civil
service reform. And, perhaps, they ex-
tended the "feast OF reason and flow of
SOUP into the wee sma' hours" and sang
My Old Kentucky Home" and "Viye la
Champagne" and "Here's TO Grover c.,
drink it down." etc. No doubt there was
JOY in Geneva, such as the history of that
old city of refuge had never known before,
for it had doubtless never before wit
messed the glorious greeting of typical
Kentucky meeting.

Married in Spite of the Freshet.
From The Ne1D YORK sun.

From the Net0 YORK Sun.
ROCKINGHAM c. H., \. c., July 22.-The
high waters throughout North Carolina were
the cause of a romantic marriage in Rocking
ham county yesterday. Mr.. james Madison
Stout and Miss Polly Mickle, one of the most
beautiful young ladies in this county, started
to get married. They were accompanied by
"A small wedding party. When they reached
Jones creek they found that the water was so
high that they could not cross. They were
going to the parsons on the other side.
"Ill swim across" said Tony Bush, the
groom's best man, land bring the preacher
to the other bank, and he can marry you from
there"
He soon had Parson Hazlett on the opposite
shore. He gave him Jim's license and told
HIM TO proceed.
Join hands, my friends" shouted the par
son, and from across the stream be made them
man and wife.
Three cheers for the American eaglem
cried the groom. as he swung his hat in the
air. "Parson, here's to the weather and here's
to the tide, and here's a kiss to my bonny
bride! Tony, hand the parson that five dollar
DILL, and be on hand tonight to the frollc at
Mamma Stouts."
God bless you bothw cried the parson,
cheerily, waving one hand and stnffing the
money in his trousers pocket with the other.

1IOUt tHe LO"tt' ~ DIOnddf0.
AS the royal carriage passed the women
showered upon mother and child, with true
southern impulsiveness, their expressions of
sympathy and a0ec tiOn-CXpressions which
brought Hush of pleasure on the pale fea-
lures OF the widowed Queen, as in her deem
mourning, the centre of all that blaze of color
and display, she passed along in the gilded
coach OF state. tenderly holding her child
high In her arms to allow all to see his blue
eyes and frank little face. Facing Christina
sat the child's Astprian nurse, in the pic
turesque attire Of her province, silk velvet
braided with gold. Behind the royal carriage
rode Capt. Gen. Pdvla, renowned for his
share IN the coup d etat Of 1874, followed by
brilliant stan of general officers. The state
carriages we're all drawn BY fine Andalusian
horses, and by their side marched number
of powdered lackeys in gorgeous liyeries A
body of horse guards, with steel cuirasses and
plumes, closely resembling In uniform our
own horse guards, closed the magnificent pro-
cession.
The whole scene in the Atocha Cathedral
was magnificent, but the most impressive mo-
ment was when, after the conclusion OF the
Tie Deun, the Queen stood alone before the
altar ana made solemn presentation of her
child, Alfonso MIL, to the Virgin OF Atocha.
The altar was abaZe with light, and by the
queen stood the Cardinal Primate. the
Bishops and the Leaning clergy of the Cathe-
dral and realm IN all the pOmp and glory of
their rich vestmonts. Around were the Gran
dees OF spain, tne Diplomatic Corps, the Min
listers, the great officers OF the throne, the rep
resentaJlNes OF the army and navy in brilliant
uniforms, the principal authorities OF the
capital and the provinces, with denutations
OF the Cortes and the great cities. The church
was hung with velvet; bright flags hung from
roof and pillar, and in the centre OF this color
ana brightness and pomp stood the solitary
woman IN deep mourning, holding up her
BABY to the figure Of the Virgin above the al
tar, IL was deeply affecting spectacle, and
one which few who saw IL will ever forget.
The little Princess Of the Asturias, her sister,
Princess Maria Theresa, the Arohduchess
. Elizabeth, and the Infantas Isabella and Flu
lana, and the members of the Montpensler
family were present, and formed distinct
group in this, the first public appearance Of
Alfonso NIL, TO whom the Pope has already
sent his blessing. With the blessing to the
child he has sent to the mother a gold vase
which the new Bishop elect will deliver To the
Queen In state next week.

FROM the Detroit Free Press.
There was an old couple at the Third Street
depot the other day who had been to Niagara
Fails and were waiting Tor a train to their
home in the interior of the State. They lust
felt that they had accomplished a big thing
and were consequently quite elated. They
had scarcely taken seats in the waiting room
before the old man turned to a stranger and
said:

"Why, it's the biggest lot of water you ever
saw, falling over the awfulest precipice YOU

singular that none of the papers have ever
mentioned it,"
They haven't. Why, them falls has bin
there for thousands of years"

lessy observed the cynic. "If it was a real
thing there'd be some excitement about it.
You don't drInk?"
'Me drink! Eve never drunk drop in my
life"
"Well. it's too bad. Any one who will
swindle an old man like you ought to be horse
whipped"
''swindled? Do you purtend there hain't no
Niagry FallsP'
Never heard of any such thing" replied
the man as he got up and left.
SAY, Hammer" replied the old man as he
turned to his wife after while, ''did you hear
that?"
Every word"
''Say, when we git home Wen keep mum
until see Stebblns, and feel around and see
II there is Nagry Falls. If we've been
fooled we don't want to be lated at; if it's all

some particulars Of good conduct into her
prayer which she thought desirable to be be-

When she had finished, the head of the bad
girl popped in past pOrtiere, and the owner
OF it began hopping up and down in a sort OF
triumphant gee.
"Oh, beard everything you said" she ex

any adventurous person or crank from
Jumping of the Brooklyn bridge or any
other high place in New York. The nly
law relating to the subject is the law Of

great deal easier of accomplishment than
flying. Another fellow tried to jump off

Probably the best thing the bridge trus-

The quarantine regulations In Europe
OF the healthy ports against those infected

those OF the Southern ports OF this coun-

The mostlntelligent opinion the world
over is that the surest way to protect

Both cholera and yellow fever are carried
