Return of the Sedan Chair.

The mania for reviving bygone
fashions would seem to have reached
its height when sedan chairs are to be
reinstated. Alroody a London street
carriage builder has. received orders
from several ladies, and ere long no
doubt to ride in "A sedan chair will be
considered the smart thing to do.
The modern chairs are built upon an
improved principle. They are more
roomy than their professors, and open
at the side like brougham, instead of
front. One specimen in progress of
completion has panels painted green
and picked out with geld, while the
interior is upholstered in green silk.
The framework being entirely of steel,
and the woodwork excessively thin, the
weight is reduced as much rs possible.
The very name sedan chair" carries
with it a vision of powder. patches,
court beauties and the like, which fact
alone will commend this mode of loco
motion to the notice of fashion S

graphic request sent the Governors and
United States Senators of every State

1. Whether or not they favor tho repeal
of the Sherman act.
2. What measure wonld they have sub
stituted for the Sherman law if they are
not in favor of unconditional repeal.
8 Whether or not the extra session of
Congress should enact tariff legislation.
So far as heard from. not single South
ern or Western Governor or Senator
favors the Sherman law out and out.
Somo Southerners favor its unconditional
repeal. All are willing, and many are
anxious. that it should be repealed condi-
tonaly. but 90 not agree as to what
ought to be substituted for It,
Nearly all the Western and some South
ern statesmen favor absolute free coinage
OF silver. Senator Powers of Montana
emphatically states that 1t Is his opinion
that the Unconditional repeal cannot be
carried" and others say that uncondi-
tlonal repeal would be dangerous ex-

Several replies from Republicans as well
as Democrats, favor tariff legislation by
the special session. but most Of them say
the tariff question is dwarfted BY the finan-
cial problem and ought to be left alone

Ireland, said lie was not aware that any
Judge had previously commented upon the

English Judge would not have seized
such an occasion to criticize the Govern

occasioned a heated dispute, and Carson

cowardly attack on the Irish Judges.
This was signal for q prolonged hubbub.
and many cries were heard for the
Speaker to name Carson. The difficulty

BOYCOTT is LEGAL.
An Important Decision Given in
Minnesota.
Labor and Capital Alike Have the
Right to Use This Powerful Agent
of Coercion.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 20.-The Supreme
Court of the State handed down to-day an
important decision which has wide bear
ing on labor and capital alike.
The Northwestern Lumbermen's Asso-
citation has rule providing that 20 men,
bers shall sell goods at any place at prices
lower than retail dealers. The Bohn Man
ufacturing Company, one of its members,
was accused of violating this rule. and
was notified by Secretary Hollis that cir
cular warning of the fact " ,uld be sent to
all members. The Bohn Company secured
an Injunction restraining the secretary on
the ground that such boycott would seri-
ously injure their business. The lower
courts order was to-day reversed by the
Supreme Court on the ground that the
Bohn Company. being member Of the
association, should have cOnformed to its
rules.
Tie Supreme Court holds that any one.
unless under a contract or obligation. or
unless his employment charges him with
some public duty. has right to refuse to
work for or deal with any man or class of
men be sees tit. and this right, which one
man may exercise singly. any number Of
men may exercise jointly.
In the opinion, which was very lengthy,
Judge Mitchell reviews tine history of the
case and says it presents one phase of a
subject which is likely to be one of the most
important and difficult which will confront
the courts during the next quarter of "a CEN
tury. This is an age of associations and
labor unions," he continues. Confined to
their proper limits they are not only law
full but laudable. Carried beyond these
limits they are liable to become dangerous
agencies for wrong and oppression. Be-
yond what limit these combinations canno,
60 without interfering with the legal
rights of others Il a problem which the
courts will doubtless be frequently called
to pass upon"
