1 ho Courts ami tho Boycott! rs.
The courts decide against tho l-oycot-
I tors whenever they make a decision in a
case in which boycotters are interested.
That boycotting is unlawful there is no
doubt, and it is so generally condemned
; ihat there i- no difficulty in vetting juries
j lo find verdicts against those shown to bo
guilty of it.
Already in New York and other cities
boycotters have been and imprison
ed, and several decisions have been ren
dered by tho higher courts in which it is
held that boycotting 1s unlawful.
Recently in New Haven some boyeot
ters were convicted, and the Judge,
in bis 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 (riends not
to deal with him, but later, .Judge Bond,
ot the United States Court at Baltimore,
in an injunction case, held that the con
spiracy to break 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 a conspiracy
to draw trade away from another.
When it gets to be generally under
stood that boycotting is a crime, and that
the courts will punish those who aro
guilty of it, the advocates of the boycott
will not be quite so numerous as they
are at present.
A littleconsideration will show that it
threatens more harm to workingmen than
to capitalists. No business man can be
boycotted without injuring workingpeo
ple. li the boycott against Ehret, the
brewer, were to be successful,
live hundred workingmen probably
would be thrown out of employment, and,
including those who are dependent upon
them, 1,500 or 2.000 people would be with
out bread.
A few disappointed men propose to re
duce these 2.000 people to the condition of
beggars because they think they have a
grievance against Khret.
Judged by this case, and it lea sample
one, who will say that the boycott is not
cruel and barbarous—an instrument of
revenge and not of justice?
If the boycott were to be used long
enough it would check all kinds of busi
ness, produce trade stagnation and ruin
and bring the boycotters themselveß face
to lace with starvation.
Belayed Mails,
There are occasions when delays in the
mails are excusable, but it would he hard
to believe that ail tho delays in the deliv
ery of the mails at points south of this
city are excusable.
The complaints received at the N kwh
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 lour weeks,” says a correspondent
whose complaint was received yesterday
from Florida, “our mails have been fear
ful, and this has made it hard lor 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 ol 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 ofraail service that portions of the
South have? If the mails in any part of
any one of these States, or ol many of the
other States which could be named,
should lail 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
sented.
The trouble hero 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 unon unless the
imposition is so flagrant that they
lose their patience entirely. Some con
tractors seem to understand this, and
hence comply with their contracts lor
carrying the mails only so far as it suits
their convenience to do so.
Thething for the people to do is to make
their wrongs known to the proper au
thorities, and to iusist upon a better ser
vice. if they protest vigorously enough
they will be heard and heeded.
The Morning News has called atten
tion a number of times to the delays in
the mails, and has succeeded in getting
the mail service improved for
a few d,iys or weeks, but eventually it
drops back into tho same old ruts. The
only thing left to be done now is bring the
complaints relative to the had mail ser
vice to the attention of the Post Oftice De
partment, and insist upon its improve
ment so vigorously that the department
will see to it that contractors live up lo
their agreements.
Quarantine in Liu rope.
The quarantine regulations of onr
Southern por's aro sometimes complained
of as being unnecessarily severe, and a
great bindrar.ee to commerce, but it will
l>e found on investigation that they are
not more severe than those of European
ports which are liable to equal dangers.
The quarantine regulations in Europe
of tno healthy ports against those infected
with cholera aru about as burdensome as
those oi the Southern ports ot this coun
try against thoso infected with cholera
or yellow fever.
The mostiuioiligeut opinion the world
over is that the surest way to protect
healthy places against infectious dis
eases is by shutting oil communl
cation with those which are inloutcd.
Both cholera aud yellow lever arc earned
from port to port, uml the municipal ail
thorties ot any exposed city aro much
more likely to keep their city free from in
fectious diseases by maintaining a strict
quarantine, than are those who ure care
less and indifferent with respect to quar
antine matlers. There is always a clamor,
of course, against a strict quarantine by
those whose interests are affected an
versely by it, but clamor turns to praise
when it becomes apparent that a wise
and Arm quarantine has prevented the in
troduction of an infectious disease, and
perhaps saved a city Iroin an epidemic.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. JULY 28. 1886.
A Genuine Kentucky Welcome.
To a traveler in a strange land there is,
periiaps, nothing so gratifying as to meet
one of bis own countrymen, especially if
that countryman be ot tho same religious
and political faith. Editor Henry Wat
terson went over from England to Switz
erland last week, leaving behind him
British snobbery, corruption and oppres
sion, and when he crossed the border into
the little A Ipine 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 tbe train
he fell, as it were, into the extended arms
of tlie 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 t hose words.
There, far away from home, in a country
or strange tongues, with snow-capped
mountains around arid the placid lake
near by—to meet a genuine Kentucky
welcome was enough to doligbttbe heart.
What mattered it if the Jungfrau did
play hide anu seek behind tbe clouds, was
H. W. not once again beneath the stars
and stripes, and did he not have a genuine
Kentucky welcome?
One can imagine how gracefully the
learned and polished Consul General
opened the sideboard and sat out the old
brown jug 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 Bresident and his bonnie
bride,” and how even the “distinguished
guest” 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
soul” into the “wee sma’ hours” and sang
“My Old Kentucky Home” and “Vive la
Champagne” and “Here’s to Grover O. —,
drink it down,” etc. No doubt there was
joy in Geneva, such as the history of that
old c ity of refuge had never known before,
lor it had doubtless never before wit
nessed tbe glorious greeting of a typical
Kentucky meeting.
Sensational Talk in Paris.
Our foreign dispatches a day or two ago
contained a statement that there was an
impression in Franco that Gen. Boulang
er, the Minister ot War, who fought a
duel a day or two ago with Baron Lar
eintv, contemplated a coup d’etat. The
Herald contains a much fuller dispatch
on the same subject, from which it ap.
pears that the charge is made in the news
papers that tbe conduct ot Gen. Boulanger
is open to suspicion.
It does not appear from the dispatch
that he has done anything in particular
that justifies the charge that has been
made against him, aud il the matter were
sifted to the bottom it might appear that
all the gossip about him has its origin in
his conduct in the duel with Baron
Lareinty.
There is no doubt a strong desire in
France for revenge for Metz and Sedan,
and if Gen. Boulanger were to lead France
to victory against Germany he might be
come a very dangerous enemy lo the re
public. Tho people would be ready to grant
him almost anything. ButGen. Boulanger
is not such a soldier as to inspire hope
that he could lead the armies of France
successfully against Germany, and there
is nothing to justify the belief that he
could get tho army to follow him. Tne
truth probably is that, he has no notion of
doing anything sensational, as some of the
papers of Baris assert he has.
It is stated that Ex-Bresident Marco
Aurelio Soto, of Honduras, has sailed lor
Aspinwall from New York. He returns
to Central America for the first time in
six years to visit Gen,*Fernandez, the
Bresident of Nicaragua. Ho will also go
to Gautemala and Honduras. An entente
cordiale has been established between him
and President Bogran, oi Honduras. In
accordance with this understanding,
during the remainder of President Bo
gran’s term he will be unmolested by any
filibustering cr revolutionary movements
on Soto’s part, and the tatter’s party is
guaranteed a fair election when their can
didate comes before the Honduranians as
the representative of Central American
unity, constitutional government ana
commercial and educational progress.
When the truce ends a lively time may be
looked for in Honduras, as bullets as well
as ballots often figure very prominently
in Honduran elections.
There appears to be no law to prohibit
any adventurous person or crank from
jumping off the Brooklyn briage or any
oilier high place in New York. The only
law relating to the subject is the law of
gravitation, whieh makes such feats a
great deal easier of accomplishment than
flying. Another fellow tried to jump off
the bridge Sunday and was arrested.
Probably IHe best thing the bridge trus
tees ean and >is to fix a certain hour each
day for jumping, and charge every one
who wants to see the entertainment a
small fee for admission to the bridge,
which might be protected from intrusive
eyes by long curtains hung from booms
on eliher side. The floor could be pro
vided with 100,000 peep holes.
The case of Editor Cutting, of El Paso
del Norte, seems to be a very simple one
demanding 'he maintenance ot his rights
as an American citizen, hut not such an
one as to warrant the people of this conn
try in becoming excited and precipitating
war with Mexico. Cutting, after de
iiouncing his rival Medina and being
forced to apologize by the Mexican offi
cials, came over the river to El Paso, and
there published a reiteration of bis
charges against Medina and challenged
him, in violation of the American law.
The government is looking after his
rights, but no appears to ho a rather un
worthy hero of an international Incident.
However, he may lie only a typical wild
Westerner.
The doctrine of stoppage iu transitu Is
pretty well understood now by wholesale
dealers and lawyers, but a New York un
dertaker th other dav adapted it to the
requirements of his business. Ho refused
to bury his client or to allow anybody
else to move the corpse or the coffin until
a small balance on bis bill was paid. The
money was advanced by n relative of the
deceased before the questions as to
whether there had been an actual de
livery, and whether a corpse could re
ceive tbe goods purchased, etc., were
argued.

The Bad Little Girl.
From the Button Record.
As frequently happens in other families of
children, one of the two young children of a
well-known music teacher is very pious ana
the other is not—quite the reverse, in fact.
The other day the had one had been particu
larly ill behaved, and the good one sought the
seclusion of her room and prayed that her
sister might be made a good girl, inserting
some particulars of good conuuct luto her
prayer which she thought desirable to be be
stowed upon the sister.
W hen she had finished, the head of the bad
girl popped in past a portiere, and the owner
of it began hopping up aud down in a sort of
triumphant glee.
“Oh, I heard everything you said,” she ex
claimed, “and I’m not going to do a single
thing of it 1”
Evidently she regarded her sister’s prayer
as an unworthy attempt to steal a march on
her, which she was determined to circumvent
at all hazards.
Married In Spite of the Freshet.
From the Xew York Sun .
Rockinc.iiam C. H., N. 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 Mi-s Polly Mickle, oue 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
hiifh that they could not cross. They were
going to the pardon’s on the other side.
“I'll swim across,” said Tony Bush, the
groom’s best man, “and bring the preacher
to the other bank, and he can marry you from

“Join hands, my friends,” shouted the par

man and wife.
“Three cheers for the American eagle!”
cried the groom, as he swung his hat in the
air. “Parson, hero’s to the weather and here's
to the tide, and here’s a kiss to my bonny
bride! Tony, hand the parson that live dollar
bill, and he on hand to-night to the frolic at
Mamma Stout’s.”
“brut bless you both!” cried the parson,
cheerily, waving one hand and stuffing the
money in his trousers pocket with the other.
Gladstone.
From the Judje.
Defeated! What is defeat, great heart, to
tbee?
’Tis Hod's indorsement of a mighty aim,
The storm that gwells the harvest vet to be,
The blast that higher fans the sacred flame.
For ntich defeat we smaller men would die,
And yield our useless lives without a sigh.
In the hot streets before a Jeering crowd
A man falls fainting ’neath a shower of
stones.
The cries, “Oh, fool!” “Oh, madman!” echo
loud.
And drown his panting sigh and dying
groan.
The crowd disperse content to see him dead.
Forgetting there still lives the words he said.
The rack with creaking wheels tears limb
from limb
The sweating victim dying obdurate,
And as the pall of deatli falls over him
And tyrants find a limit to their hate,
Strange none can see their rack has failed to
tear
The new -born principle made holy there
The fagots piled around the martyr’s stake
Are fanned to flame by bigotry’s hot breath.
And waves of hungry lire around him break
To sc *rch the sacrifice before its death.
What fools to dream though he to turn.
That flame e’er yet had power a thought to
burn!
Foo’s! Shall the blossom bar the coming seed,
<>r early waves keep back the wowing tide,
Or envious glow worms stay the lightning’s
speed.
Or mists of morning noonday's sunlight
hide?
Truth never vet was ripe and will not bj,
Her vast proportions span eternity.
And all of these, the racked, the stoned, the
burned.
Upon the shores of time were higher waves
That, high careering, o lines spurned
To mark an era with their sacred graves.
Too late a garland, column, or a crown
Adorns a name the world haa trampled down.

Have They Seen Ntebblns?
From the Detroit Free Preee,
There was an old couple at the Third Street
depot the other day who had been to Niagara
b alls and were waiting lor a train to their
home in the interior of the State. They just
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:
•• We’ve .list got back from Niagry Falls.
Powerful sight, them falls are. Hain’t nothin’
like them falls in this hull country.”
"Never noard of 'em,” gruffly replied the
man.
"You don’t! Lor’, bloss me, but that's
astonishing! Never heard of Niagry Falls?”
"Never. What is It anyhow?”
"Why, it’s the biggest lot of water you ever
saw, falling over tho awftillest precipice you
ever heard of. Why, it makes folks shiver to
look at it.”
"Singular that none of the papers have ever
mentioned it.”
“They haven’t. Why, them falls has bin
thore for thousands of years.”
"Wasn’t it a freshet or a dam broke loose, or
something of that sort?”
"No, siree! That water keeps a pouring
and roaring and humming all the time.”
“Must have been some trick about it,"care
lessly observed the cynic, "ff it was areal
ihing there'd be some excitement about it.
You don't drink?”
’’Me drink! I’ve never drunk a drop in mv
life!”
"Well, it’s too bad. Any one wlio will
swindle an old man like youougbt to be horse
whipped."
"Swindled? Doyoupurtend there hain’t no
Niagry Falls?”
"Never heard of any such thing,” replied
tho man as be got up and left.
"Say, Manner, ” replied the old man as ho
turned to his wife aftera while, "did you hear
that?”
"Every word.”
"Say, when we git homo we’ll keep mum
uutll 1 see Stebbins, and feel around and see
if there is a Niagry Falls. If we’ve been
fooled we don't want to bo laffed at; if it’s all
right we kin do our blowing when it’s safe
ami will count. Don’t siv Goat Island or
Hors’shoe Falls nor Bridal Vail to no livin’
soul until we Und out whether that ginger ale
(low to our heads, or tho show was all right
and wuth the money.”
Presentation of the Itaby King of Spain.
From the Loud n Standard,
As the royal carriage passed the women
showered upon mother and child, with true
Southern impulsiven'rs, their expressions of
sympathy and affeciion—expressions which
brought a flush of pleasure on the jiale fea
tures of the widowed Queen, as in her deep
mourning, the centre of all that blaze of color
and display, she passed along in the gilded
coach of state, teuderly holding her child
high in her arms to allow all to see his blue
eyes and frank little face. Facing Christina
sat tile child's Asturian nurse, in the pic
turesque attire of her province, silk velvet
braided with gold, behind the royal carriage
rode Capt. Gen. I’.ivui, renowned for his
share in tho coup d'etat of 1871, followed by
a brilliant stall' of general officers. The stale
carriages were all drawn by lino Andalusian
horses, and by their side marched a number
of powdered lackeys in gorgeous liveries. A
laxly 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 magmllrent, but the most impressive mo
ment was when, after the conclusion of the
Tc Deuin, the Queen stood alone before the
aliar and madi a solemn presentation of her
child, Alfonso XIII., lo the Virgin of Atocha.
'ldle altar was ablaze with light, and by tho
Queen stood the i animal Primate, the
Itishops and (he leading clergy of the Cathe
dral anil realm in all the pomp and glory of
their rich vestments. Around were tho Gran
dees of Spain, too Diplomatic Corps, thcMm
lsters, the great officers of the throne, the rep
resentatives ol the army and navy in brilliant
uniforms, the principal authorities of the
•apltal and the provinces, with deputations
of tho Cortes and the great cities. The church
was hung with velvet; bright (lags hung from
roof and pillar, amt in tho centre of tms color
and brightness and pomp stood the solitary
woman in deep mourning, holding up her
baby to tho figure of the Virgin above Qie al
tar It was a deeply affecting spectacle, and
one whieb few who saw it will over forget.
'1 lie little Princess of the Asturias, her sister.
Princess Maria Theresa, tho Arohdnehess
Elizabeth, and the Infantas Isabella and Eu
lalia, and tbe nicnibeiat of tho Montpensler
family were present, and formed a distinct
group in thl". the first public appearance of
Alfonso Mil., to whom the Pope lias already
sent his blessing. With the blessing to the
child he has sent to the mother a gold vase,
which the new Hishop-eleot will deliver to the
Uueon in statu next week.

A waiter in the British Medical Journal,
after referring to the disagreement amcwig
surgeons as to whether smoking may be the
immediate cause of cancer, remarks that
there is a condition of the tongue which, in
many cases, is the precursor of epithelioma
namely, “leucoplakia,” and this diseane is
nmre generally considered to be caused by
smoking. The fact is pointed nutthat, among
seventy-five recorded cases, all but four were
smokers. One authority has shown that leu
coplakia may be the starting point of epi
thelioma, and, out of the above mentioned
number of cases, forty-four developed epithe
lioma, and in one only was there a family
history of cancer. Another authority states
that, out of fifty-five cases of cancer* of the
tongue, about oiie-fourth had been the seat of
leucoplakia.
The swords for the English array which are
manufactured at Solingeu, Germany, are sub
jected to tha following tests: The blade has
first of all to support a weight of sixteen kilo
grammes placed Upon its point, without show
ing the least deflection. This pressure is then
increased to such an ext nt as to cause the
bending blade to shorten bv sixteen centi
metres, aud. on its removal, to snap back per
fectly straight. A hard blow is then given
first with the edge and next with the back of
the blade, on an iron block, the prescribed
curvature being carefully measured. Then
comes the bemling test, in which the blade is
subjected to a bend of ninety degrees from
which it has to spring back into the straight
hue. Finally it. is w. .ghed, and not. until the
cent re of gravity is carefully adjusted does the
receiving officer put tiis stamp on the blade.
Some years ago a story was afloat to this
intent: At a dinner in the city of Washing
ton a Lieutenant of the United States army
was present, iust returned from a Western
campaign. Ho was very voluble and enter
taining with anecdotes of Ids experience and
among tiiem related tiie following: His ’regi
ment, he said, encamped fora while near a
hill mainly composed of soapstone, and after
a ram the wash down its sides was so sat
urated with soap that the people living near
used it, finding it sufficiently saponaceous for
w ashing their soiled clothes. With a single
exception ail within hearing expressed their
surprise and wonder. He, a thoughtful per
son, remained unmoved. On being asked
why he was so siieut aud undemonstrative
be replied that he was thinking ‘ How much
lye (lie?) it look to make that mountain
soap.”
Some of the Paris physicians warmly rec
ommend the treatment of obesity by the ad
ministration of sea water, combined with a
residence at the seaside. It is urged that
sea waier, taken internally, acts like diuretic
and purgative salts, a romurkabie fact being
tlial the diuretic effect increases when the
purgative diminishes. The water is to be ob
tained, when possible, from some depth an t
far Ir m the shore—being then left to ’settle
for six to twelve hours, and filtered. It is to
be taken three times a dav, in doses of a small
tumblerful, or in half that quantity at a time
with fresh water or milk. Tue claim Is that
sea water thus used facilitates the oxygena
tion of the blood, an 1 that it hastens the eli
mination of offete materials. In combination
with this treatment, sea water baths are to
betaken, free exercise is to be carried out
and at the same time fattening foods are of
course, to be avoided.
