A confessedly imperfect statute was welcomed as a substitute for a legal condition which gave no substantial protection tothe public through enforceable limitations ‘upon the liquor dealer. The law was accepted a8 “a ground-hog case.” But no sooner was the law enacted than the liquor-dealers claimed that Congress had failed | to accomplish even the exceedingly limited | purpose of providing penalties for illegal | Nquor selling. The new law repealed the old law, and it was maintained and agreed that prosecutions could not be condueted under the old law. All offenders prior to the date of the new enactment, whaterer stage their prosecution had reached, were con- sequently permitted to escape. The liquor men cheerfully assented to the repeal of so much of the old law aa ‘provided regu- lations and restrictions upon the liquor traffic, and punishment for violations, but when it was maintained as the logical conclusion of the repeal of the old law that the permits or licenses to sell liquor granted under it were also revoked, | the dealers immediately protested. Their contention was that licenses issued under the old law were irrevocable contracts, and that while Congress might deprive the District of all power to enforce those provisions of this alleged contract which were inserted for its pro- tectioa the legislature could notconstitutionally | deprive them of the privilege under this alleged contract of selling liquor, for which they had rendered » consideration, in the shape of = license fee, to the District. If their contention had been sustained, the sole justifying purpose of the new law would have failed, and until next November those liquor dealers who have licenses under the old law could sell absolutely without regula- tion or restriction. The old law could not it limited to those holding licenses that are Distriet liquor license. It did not hold ‘that the repeal of the old Inw was a one-sided affair, destroying every provision of that statute which protected the public, but preserving every provision which the liquor dealer.” Judge Miller's decision fa sensible and just. —__+ e+ —___ Ambassadorial privileges are being discussed quite extensively just now in view of the changes that are being made in diplomatic re- lations between several of the greater European nations and the United States, but only trifling ims little while these promotions, so far as ambassadors resident here are concerned, may result in the public appearance of vehicles and individuals connected therewith, the like of which have not been seen here since the band this neighborhood.

Extraordinary zeal has been a remarkable feature im this inspection service | and should the same vigor be applied to the | entire work the District will have reason to re- folce and be exceeding glad. But the effort must not end with a single inspection, although that will result profitably; the highest type of sanitary safety cannot be msin- tained without large appropriations, and these, so far asthe District of Columbia are concerned, do not exist. The Sanitary League must not relax its efforts to secure permanent | and thorough self-inspection by the various blocks of the city or cease to strive to edueate the citizen up toa sense of his individual re- sponsibilities, and to a realization of the fact that ignorance and carelessness as to sanitary matters threaten his own existence and that of thove who aredearest to him in the family | circle. ——_—__—_-o+__ The assurances to disappointed men that » place under the government means less than it seems to mean will not, in all probability, con- vey much comfort.

The place of the proposed naval Gisplay is accessible by land and water from Baltimore in about an hour and « quarter and by rail from Washington in about the same time, while the largest excursions to Bay Ridge in the summer are often from Philadelphia and Wilmington. - ++ __ | The name of Samuel Morey of Fairlee, Vt., is not on the roll of fame, but it would seem as though his absence was due to errror. If the records are reliable,and they appear to be all right, Samuel Morey was the first man toinvent, build and run a steamboat. In discussing this matter the Brattleborough Phoniz claims that Morey’s title to this great distinction is indis- putable. It has always been understood that Morey made several efforts to achieve naviga- tion by steam. but it is not generally known that he ran a steamboat from Hartford to New Haven, and that he built at Bordentown, N. J., a larger boat which he ran between that place and Philadelphia. At that time Fulton, the Liv- ingstons and several other mechanicians were struggling to apply steam to vessel-propulsion, but without success. A model of the Borden- town boat was exhibited in New York, where it was seen by Fulton, who made commercial ap- plication of the invention. It would seem as though Samuel Morey had been neglected for an unreasonably long period. Let enthusiastic Vermonters produce the testimony and boom his meto1 ——— oe It is most refreshing to note that reputable citizens of foreign birth are becoming weary of the demagoguery which too frequently rises up and demands unreasonable recognition in pub- lie affairs. The Chicago city council, anxious as individuals to plaster soft-soap all over the Irish and German vote, closed the city offices on St. Patrick's day and on the Emperor William's birthday. That it failed as to the better class of Germans is evidenced by the resolutions adopted by the Chicago Turnge- meinde, in which that high grade organization denounced most emphatically the municipal action as to the emperor's birthday as “‘un- American and not in accordance with the views of German-American citizens of this great cos- mopolitan city. In declaring this proceeding a silly piece of demagogism we believe we ex- press the sentiment of not only our German- American population, but the people of all nationalities who have adopted this country as their home.” 0] ‘The Chinese have declared their intention of not making forcible resistance to the Geary law, but they propose to carry it to the courts. Itis a most sensible step and might furnish a profitable example for many of the discontented people who consider themselves “John’s” so- cial and intellectual superiors. —— Two half-breed Indians robbed a Kansas bank of $2,000. Evidently these children of nature have been unfortunate in the choice of models in their search for civilization. see Rome, in these bomb-throwing times, is the world’s center of civil service reform. A dis- patch in yesterday's Stan says that “nobody who fails to give a satisfactory account of him- self can hope to get near the public offices.”” a That the United States cruiser New York should have made a big speed record is not at all astonishing.

SHOOTING STARS. “T'll jes’ bet,” said Mr. Cumrox as he looked at the coiffure page of the fashion paper, “that good many more women wear them things than kin pernounce em.” “This,” said the boy whose mother had turned him over to his father for punishment, “is one of the evils of a paternal government.” PERENNIAL.

You are familar with it as the essence of the air we breathe, the element which stimulates the blood and machinery of life. You will then need no introduction to the Electropoise Victory, for it simply applies this old and heretofore unnoticed OXYGEN as a means of cure without medicine. Tie OXYGEN is transmitted through the Electropoise Victory to the capillaries of the blood and thence through the blood to the diseased func- tions and tissues, building up and revivify- ing them im s way that no medicine can imitate. Mother nature after all is the best doctor and her best medicine is OXYGEN, patients all over the country as to its won- erful healing and curative properties.
