To the Editors of the Appeal:
1t is to be hoped that the Demo-
cratic parry viii not nominate any
man for any ofiics, at the July county
convention, who believes in boycott
ting anyone because OF his political or
labor opinions. There are many
worthy citizens who are Republicans
and Knights of Labor, whom | would
not support for any office; but
l CT ld not stop 80 low
ss to do anything To in
lure their busine s. That is
step in NAL . a1d meanness which no
good citizen can justify. A man hes
right TO his political and religious and
social opinions; and no man should
make war upon Roman Catholic, or
a Baptist, or a Methods because he
may not approve any one of these
religious secis. In thu good old days
OF Wings aud Democrats they made
no war upon each others businets or
social relations But a new order OF
thingS has spring up; and Row,
if "a mason, or carpenter, or m5ulder
or painter need work to support his
family, aud is willing 10 wors at what
he thinks fair wsgas, he is not tJle-
rated as decent man if he will not
Join a union, but is manly enough to

chaut a stats such an in

We learn from n consular report deal
ing with Sicily in the year 1894 that coral
fishing wa completely forbidden ON the
Sicllian coast on account Of the outbreak
OF cholera in September OF last year. The
aus Of the prohibition was the impossi-
bility OF preventing the boats engaged In
IL from breaking through the quarantine.
The great rendezvous are the coral banks
at Sciacca on the east coast. where fully
100 boats, with crews amounting 10 900
men, are annually engaged during the
ummer. Il is estimated that about $780,
900 pounds OF coral are annually obtained
In the Sicilian waters, Of the value OF
about e2l0 900.
The best coral il said TO he found OF
Scincea the coral reef In the straits OF
Messina, which had formerly n high rep
u%tation, Is said TO be exhausted. The ma
jority Of the boats engaged In the fishing
come from the ~neighhorhood Of Naples,
especially from Tore del Greco, where
there is "A considerable industry la work
ing up the coral. II is a singular fact that
there Is no industry OF the kind on the
Siciliau coast, where the coral is found in
such abundance.-London Times.
