JEWS AT THE NOTES.-THE TWEED SUIT

POLlIICAL.
JEWS AT THE HOTELS.
The great sensation in New York, just
now, is the action of Judge Hilton the
representative of the Stewart estate. IN ex-
GLIDING Jews from the Grand Union Hotel
at Saratoga, The Grand Union is the
largest summer hotel in the world, and
the most exclusive. Joseph Seligman. one
of the weallhiest bankers in this city, has,
for several years, lived at the Grand Union
with his family. during tile summer
months, and he applied last week for suit
able apartments for this season. Much to
Mr.. SeIigman's disgust, the clerk inform
cd him that he could not have rooms, and
when asked for reason said that Judge
Hilton had instructed him to refuse all
Jews To say that there was a storm
would be to put it very mildly. Be 1t
known that the Jews are enormously
wealthy in New York, and are, moreover,
numerous. They are the largest bankers
and among the largest merchants, and
they control the theatrical and operate
business. There was u buzzing among
them, and newspaper war OF vast dlmen-
sions was the result. Judge Hilton gave
as his reason for his action that any hotel
was ruined the moment it became known
as Jew house, for the reason that the
Jews are all loud, coarse, obtrusive and
filthy. lie said they would get rooms ut
the lowest possible rates, and smuggle into
them all their visitors; that they were
filthy in their habits, and that they swarm
in such numbers rs to monopOlize the pl-
azzas; that in so public place AS hotel
they had privileges MS guests which gave
them license to be disagreeable to other
people,, That their women were gross,
vulgar and over-dressed-in short, that he
wouldu have them about at any price.
On the other hand, the Jews insist that
they are as quiet and genllemanly AS any
other class; that they pay their bills and
have u right to all accommodations that
OF her people have. And The Jews OF the
United States are withdrawing their trade
from Stewards, and there is II war rlVallng
in bitterness the one raging IN Europe.
1t Is true that there are class of Jews
of the kind Judge Hilton describes. Many
II banker now worth his millions and living
in gorgeous style, came into the city with
his pack on his back, and made his COM
increment in the alleys and by-ways.
Manners don't come with money, and 1t is
not to be expected that such man should
possess all the graces of good society His
daughters, dress they ever so well, will be
vulgar, and his sons, no matter how large
the diamonds they wear, will be nothing
but snobs. Such are doubtless Disagree
able at hotels, and are not to be desired,
and it is true that the Jews have more
than their share Of them. But it is true,
on the other hand, that there are thou
sands of Jews who have both wealth and
manners, and who are as well grounded in
all that makes the gentleman or lady as
anybody.
Hilton made mistake in rejecting the
Jews as race-he should have rejected
the bad Jews, The people will not brook

fair play is the jewel. The papers are
