JULY THE FOURTH.
River Falls Will Celebrate: An Address
by Hon. w. +. McNally of New Rich
mond: Baseball Game: Bicycle Ra-
ces: Grand Parade. Etc.

The prospects for grand Fourth OF
July celebration at this writing, are
llattering. Every thing is in readi-
ness, and all we need TO make this one
of the greatest celebrations we have
ever had, is favorable weather. The
fact that River Falls is almost the
only place in this section of country,
which has made extensive prepare
tions for a celebration this year, will
bring the crowd here.
The manner in which the citizens
have taken hold of this undertaking,
and the money which has been ex-
pended upon the preparations, are sure
to give us rousing celebration.
The music which is TO be furnished
by the River Falls Band win be first
class, and the games are not TO be OF
the ordinary kind.
Visitors will be able to find Just
such entertainment as is suited TO
their tastes. III they enjoy base ball,
they will have the opportunity of See
ing game by expert players; if they
prefer bicycle racing, they will have
the pleasure of witnessing races of
this kind By some of the finest riders
in this part OF the country, on the
new emile track prepared especially
for the occasion; if they are of lit
erary turn of mind, they can listen TO
one OF the most eloquent orators in
this section of the country.
Come one, come ALL and enjoy the
day with us, and help US make it pro-
ductiye of patriotic sentiments.
An Indiana jury has awarded rail-
road conductor, who went into the
Debs strike in 1894, $3.50 damages
because the company blacklisted him
and he could obtain no employment
elsewhere. This is the third verdict
OF the kind given in the United States.
The company will doubtless appeal,
but no court would reverse the judg-
ment if il had any regard for justice.
The verdict is right. The boycott and
the blacklist are barbarous and nei-
ther should have place in civilized
communities. A court that would
affirm the right of railway company
to blacklist would not be fit TO exer-
else judicial authority. An employer
has the right to discharge an employe
and to refuse to re-employ him, but
neither an individual nor corpora
has right, legally or morally, to say
that discharged employe shall not be
employed elsewhere. Such action is
an unwarrantable interference with
personal liberty and is libelous. The
courts ought always and everywhere
take the same stand. The blacklist
and the boycott should go together
