NATIONAL MEAT INSPECTION. Some of the Disadvantages—Excessive Cost for Amount Involved. Secretary Morton has been trying to reduce the force of National Moat Inspectors without impairing its efficiency. He does not propose to stop meat inspection, but thinks the benefits derived from the execution of the law are purchased at too great a cost. During the past two years the value of meat inspected for expbrtation was *4,577,473. During that period the government paid to mlcroscopists the sum of $224,465, and expended $8,475 foi microscopes. Other incidental expenses were $6,639, making the total expense 8 per cent, of the value of the meat exported. The question is whether the country shall be taxed in this way for the benefit of packers of meat who export to countries demanding this inspection. During the same period we have sold to countries not demanding government inspection more than $34,000,000 of meat products without a dollar of cost to the general public. The countries demanding government Inspection are Germany, France, Denmark, Italy, Spain and Austria. The secretary thinks the law very faulty, and will urge its amendment by the next Congress, hut in the meantime will continue meat inspection according to the provision of the statute.

The steamship Warrimoo, of the Sydney and Vancouver line, arrived at Vancouver, B. C., on the 9th. bringing details of the uprising, which is the result of the financial troubles which have for some time afflicted that British dependency. The flower of the Australian militia is now in England attending the ceremonies of the royal wedding and the opening of the Imperial Institute, and as a consequence the police are compelled to make terms with the rioters.

Postmaster General Bissell has decided to abandon the three sizes of postal cards now in use, and to substitute one size for both single and reply cards. With that purpose in view, the specifications which have been sent to prospective bidders for the contract of furnishing the postal service with cards during the next four years call for single cards of the uniform size of 3%x5J£ Inches, This is what is known as the international size, it being used generally by the countries composing the national postal union. The double or replycard now in. use will be continued, with the size, when folded, reduced to that of the international card. These two cards will take the place of the small, or woman’s card, the medium and large card and the liirge return card. CLOSED UP. The World’s Fair Will Not be Open on Sunday. At Friday's meeting of the local directory of the World’s Fair, at Chicago, it was decided to rescind the former action of the board, by a vote of 24 to 2. After Sunday, July 16, the Fair will remain closed on Sunday during the balance of the time that the Exposition continues. The aetendance on Sunday has proved too slim to warrant a further continuance of the wide-open policy, and the directors believe that Sunday opening has injured the enterprise mother ways.
