A ner "finance has been passed there and the 6000 restaur ants of the city have been placed under atrict supervision, as to the quality of food supplied to guests, the manner of its preparation, the personal tidiness of the waiters, in dress and habits, the proper ventilation of kitchens, and other details necessary to proper sanitation. Certainly the sight of an untidy waiter and the mingled odor of all sort cf viands in preparation too often waftel from the kitchen are not appetizing. The restaurateurs are obliged to taks out licenses, revocable for cause. Th fees from these licenses, estimated to amount to $90,000 a year, will be ap plied to the payment of the inspection. This ought to insure proper and cleanly aervice, since the revocation of license will put the offenders out of business. f-rjri. , 0 ' BOOZE, N0N EST! (F . Nebraska Democrats have just sufferel a great disappointment, according to the Lincoln "State Journal." Forty years ago, according to the story which has a revival every few years, a steamboat loaded with whisky was sunk in the Mis aouri river, near the Nebraska shore. Eecently, by a change in the current, the skeleton was revealed, near Yank in. (ireat excitement nrevailed in Omaha, says the "State Journal," an ex pedition was organized to rescue the well mellowed "Booze," and strenuous efforts were made to change the meeting of the democratic convention from Lincoln to Yankton. Right at this juncture in steps the "oldest settler" and says the boat was loaded with flour, not whisky, and most nf it was saved at the time. The convention will now probably be held in Lincoln, S0CKLESS SWIMMERS. Alas! poor woman! She cannot es cape the demands of fashion even at the bathing beaches. No matter to what least common mutiple she has reduced her bathing suit, she is still open to the cynosure and strictures of the prudes in chairs and on the observation stands. As she finds her way to the surf among the mass of tanned arms and legs that bestrew the beach and appertain to her brothers, her cousins and their male as sociates, the summer girl has long been impressed with the superior wisdom of the male variety of bather in giving his legs the same freedom as his arms. He wears no long stockings soaked full of the sea, to impede his swimming and hang as a dead weight from his body; there fore, why should she? So, a few days ago, the summer girl at Ocean Park, in a moment of high resolve and low hose, appeared on the sands in socks. The shock nearly killed sister, but the inno vation is likely to remain, it is sail, until the sister recovers and then, well, then the summer girl is expected to shed even the socks, and sister will de part early to the mountains, with a chaperone and her smelling salts. NATION'S JULY BILL The government's expense "during July were nearly IM000.004 the prin cipal increase over (he corresponding month last year having been in the civil and miscellaneous lt and two ami o half milliona in the War Department. Receipt, though mora than 13J million short of expenses, were three million greater than last year, the principal gaiii having been in customs, more than four and one-half millions. The nearly nine hundred milliona of interest -bearing debt gained fifty dollar during the month, but the next statement will show an increase of the $30,000,000 Panama 2 per cent sold the other day to the banks and the exr-r company' for tunate clerk. The treaaury ch. though diminished more than eight million dur ing tht month, is still more than double its one hundred and fifty million gold coin and bullion reserve. 'O WARRIOR ON WAR. Says Gen. Harrison Gray Otis: "War i simplv a question of which side can kill the most men on the other side. What sillv asses we are to keep it up." General Otis has done his part at the g!n,e in the pa, but he's fighting now with the pen. that "mightier" weapon, m the hands of men entirely great, as edi tor of the T.o Angeles "Time-." Simply changed his methods. But who wants to keep up wart 1 0 000000000000000000 0 EDITORAL SALAD. O 000000000000000000 Fo&tmaster-GeneiMl Cortelyou has is sued an order to go into effect August 15, rescinding the regulation under which patrons of rural route are compelled to purchase boxes from one of the 200 listed manufacturers, who have put on the market 300 different styles 01 boxes, approved by the department cost-1 ing from 60c to $4 each. Patrons of rural routes will be permitted to con struct their own boxes, provided that in doing so they conform to the require ments of the department as to size, durability, safety and protection from the inclemencies of the weather, in order to maintain the government pro tection of the mail placed in rural boxes the patrons must secure the approval of the postmaster for the office which he serves the routes and paint on the box the words "approved by the post master-general." 0 Let us all bear this fact in mind: All subsidies, petty or great, are paid out of the revenue collected by taxation from the pockets of the people. The idea that this government is rich is a false idea. It has nothing but what it takes from the poor man's pocket. The rich pay federal taxes only in the proportion of the number of the rich to the num ber of the poor, and that is an insignfl cant proportion; and even that propor tion is offset by the special "protection," or advantage, which the tariff gives the rich over the poor. 0 A bill providing a uniform method ot naturalization throughout the country was passed bv congress. The bill re quires that admission to citizenship shall not be granted in less than two years aftef the declaration of intention. The seventh section provides that "no person who disbelieves in or who is op posed to organized government" shall be naturalized. The bill provides also that no alien shall hereafter be naturalized who cannot speak the English language. The law goes into effect ninety days after approval. . 0 Almost daily do we hear or read of cases of connlubial infelicity and so serious has the divorce menace become, that sometimes we are led to wonder why some man of wisdom has not pro mulgated a law, whereby people who nontemnlate committing matrimony shall stop and seriously consider what they are about. Too frequently they rush into the yoke in haste, only to re pent having done so when it is too late to remedy the trouble without working a great hard ship upon innocent per sons. An exchange says: "The kickers on the farm are not as hard to get along with a the kickers in the towns. On the farm there is the kicking cow and our long-eared friend, the mule, while in the town there is the old moss-back who wants all the privileges of munici pal living without paying for them and blocks so far as he can, every municipal improvement. The cow may be sold for beef and the mule traded for a shot gun, but nothing but a funeral will get rid of the town kicker" ARE YOU A BON VIVANT? The pith of life, after all, is a good feed. The good things of this life are not as a rule easily found, so that it is a pleasure to find so close at hand a first-class up-to-date establishment, whre one gets those good things at every meal, like the Palace Restaurant, on Commercial street.
