From the large number of inquiries now

that Congress has authorized the issue and
use of private postal cards. mailable at
1 cent rate of postage. This belief is un-
founded. The department has called the
attention OF all postmasters to this fact
and has notified them that no law has
been enacted on the subject, SO that private
mailing cards. bearing written messages,

LUCK In weather.
NEW YORK. May 31.-With its usual
bad luck the Brooklyn Jockey Club had a
bad day today for its opening There was
fog over the Gravesend course, and now
and then there was a downfall Of rain to
keep things disagreeable. The track dries
faster than any other in the country, but
there was no prospect of any change for
the better late In the forenoon. The train
ers who had in charge the alleged mud
horses were by no means dissatisfied with
the outlook. but the many who had pre-
race on a fast track were anything but
pleased.
Up to last year the Brooklyn handicap
was the first big one Of the year. This
year. however, most of the likely to start
have been at the post and have been tried
out in public races. This state Of affairs
has made the chances better for the favor

Cultivate Our Summer Attractions.
From the Middlebury Register


There is perhaps no industry now in the
state more promising of immediate financial
results than that of summer travel, and its
development is practically unlimited 1t
should, then, and we believe will as they
consider it, become a second nature with
Vermonters to retain and cultivate every
thing that will be attractive to our summer
guests, especially the handsome trees and
bushes along the roadsides, and all woods
that the owners feel able to allow to grow.
An intelligent and cultivated understand
ing of this kind among our people is worth
far more than any police regulation or law
for the attainment of the ends desired,
though there undoubtedly should be very
efficient laws regulating or forbidding, ex-
cept under specified conditions, the placing
of telegraph or telephone wires along our
highways. In the first place, corporations
have no legal right whatever to use the
highways for this purpose; and, in the
next, their abuse of an assumed privilege
has been most outrageous.

President Andrews of Brown Univer-
sity, Providence, h. l., man who holds a
leading place among the educators of the
country, has long been known as a believer
in free silver coinage, though he has held
that the United States ought not to under
take free coinage by itself When the
presidential campaign opened last year,
however, he came out for Independent free
coinage by this country. This action, it is
unnecessary to say, was not in accord
with the general belief of the trustees or
alumni of the university. For the past
year President Andrews has been in Eu-
rope for the recovery of his health, and
will return home about July l. At a
meeting of the fellows and trustees of the
university, held last week, a committee
was appointed to wait upon the president
on his return and request him to modify
his activity in behalf of certain economic
questions" This action has inevitably
caused widespread comment. BY free sill
yer advocates it is characterized as an at
tempt to muzzle freedom of thought. To
the trustees it represents an expression of
their conviction that the free silver doc
trine is contrary to the ethics both of po-
litics and business, and that its advocacy
impairs the usefulness of the university,
and is not in accordance with the prepon-
derence of the sentiment of the insti-
tuition as represented by the views of
the great body of its alumni. There can
be no doubt of the right of the trustees to
assert their opinions, and to take such ac-
ton as they believe the good of the college
to demand, but it is matter which needs
to be handled with such a combination of
frankness and discretion as is not always
found to exist when the occasion calls for

Captain Boycott, the man who was
made the first subject of an experiment
advised to be applied to harsh Irish land
lords by Mr.. Parnell in 1880 during a GER
tain speech on Irish affairs, and which
has been dignified by his name, is dead.
Before the application of the word "boy-
cott' to designate the withdrawal of COM
merce or association with an Objectionable
person the expression used was "sent to
Coventry" and this was the term employed
by Mr.. Parnell in the speech, which Cap
tain Boycott had every reason afterwards
to regret was made, since his oVI name
was soon substituted. His sole claim to
international fame rests on this one in

The report comes from Havana that
Gen. Weyer has received strict orders from
Madrid to modify his policy of brutality
and determination, and that this is due to
representations made by the Spanish min
ister. at Washington to his government
that American feeling toward Spain is
greatly prejudced by the stories of Wey-
lers operations. This a form of nterven-
tion by the people of the United States
which nobody can,condemn and which can
not result in diplomatic complications. 1t
is cause for rejoicing if it is proving eff
fective.
