. The only wonder about Health Com
missioner Halls order to storekeepers and
others not to sweep from their front door
onto the sidewalk is that the ordinance in
this respect was not enforced long ago.
1t IS humiliating to think that MINNEAPOLIS
shopkeepers still follow the country store
example of sweeping from the store to the
walk, and from the walk to the street.
In this process the pedestrian is over
looked. The youth who usually does the
sweeping never does any lodging; he
keeps on sweeping and the pedestrian
must taken his chances. It is to- be hoped
that the health commissioner will be able
to enforce the order requiring that side
walks be wet-swept. The early to- work
man does not like to begin his day dusty
with sidewalk sweepings; besides it may
not be promotive of his health.

The Celestial Empire, published at
Shanghai, after speaking of the import
ance Of Consul General Goodnow's success
in securing the extension Of American
domestic postage rates to all mail handled
thru the consular postoffice at Shanghai,
says that the business transacted thru,
that postal agency was SO per cent greater
in 1902 than in 1901. The reduced post
age will undoubtedly greatly increase the
business. The Celestial Empire SAYS that
Mr.. Goodnow is about to secure more
privileges for his office. There is one.
however, that he doubtless would like but
cannot get, until congress acts, and that
is a cheap parcels post service. AS we do
not enjoy it at home we cannot extend If
to China, tho the creation of such a
service would greatly increase our trade,
not only with China, but with all the rest
of the world.

Dublin municipal council disgraced itself
by defeating the proposition to present an
address Of welcome to King Edward when
he visits that city during his visit to Ire
land, after rowdy scenes In the council
and a revolutionary speech by the mayor
of the city. It Is true that the vote
against the address stood 40 to 81, a
rather small majority, but enough to show
that the EZRA Of good feeling" apparently
foreshadowed by the progress Of the land
purchase bill toward the statute book, is
still delayed, and the Irish millennium has
not yet. arrived. It Is true that the long
delay Of the English government in re-
moving the distractions to Irish progress,
in any degree, which English intolerance
had placed upon Ireland, was calculated
to beget deep-seated hatred and prejudice
The nineteenth century witnessed turnout
Europe the weakening Of despot1c systems
and the strong growth Of civil and reli-
gious liberty and the redressal Of many
wrongs. English intolerance toward Ire.
land has been very slowly uprooted, and
in the twentieth century there is sure to
be an entire change from the old folly Of
persistent treatment Of the Irish as a
conquered people from whom severe re-
strictions cannot be removed with safety.
to the rational dealing with them as enti-
tied. as subjects Of the crown, to the best
and most liberal government which can be
given them, as is the case with Scotland
and Wales, and the King Of England can
visit Ireland without hostile demonstra-
ton on the part of the people.

A FEW REMARKS. By Simeon Ford. New

The author of this book is a hotel
keeper in New York, who has acquired
quite a reputation as an dinner
speaker as we'll as a man who knows how
to run a hotel This book shows him
to be a most humorous phrase-maker and
stimulator of smiles, and, in some re-
spects, if not as classic and academic as
Depew, he beats that humorist out of sight.
This description of the old-time New
England hotel, where boarders were priv

as attracted their fancy and transfer the
same to their plates without loss of time"
and it was a red-letter day in the history
of the hotel when a clean towel was put
in the washroom, is excellent Speaking
of the popular belief that bookkeeping
is very profitable business, he says:
when I walk thru the tessellated cor
ridors of my hotel, can see the guests
gazing at me with awe, and can hear them
speaking with bated breath Of the vast
ness of my wealth. This naturally, makes
me feel naughty, and, after such an @ex-
perience, 1t, is CALLING to have to go and
plead with my horseradish man to extend
my note" In an extended deliverance
on his auto experience, Mr.. Ford says:
''This eternal horn blowing is a nuisance
and nerve destroying crime, and is I'M
necessary and silly. I have noticed that
the smaller the auto the bigger the horn.
To hear one Of these little tin wash
boilers, with a one-horse-power engine
and a twelve horse power horn and
twenty mule power driver, coming down
the avenue, you'd suppose that Gabriel
with his trump had broken loose at last,
and when you look up, expecting to see
a trump, you see nothing but a two-spot

an auto is jackass, but do claim that

are full of meaty passages.
