A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CORRECTED. - The
public has always been of the opinion, says
che Eureka Sentinel, that the so called ''Ho-
tel for Workingwomen, founded in the city
of New York, by the lato A. T. Stewart, was
designed as a charitable institution. When
Mr. Stewart died and there was some criti-
cism rs to the meagroness of his eleemosynary
boquests, the pross of New York called atten-
ton to this hotel as one of the legacies of Mr.
Stewart to the city. Now the World claims
that tho hotol is not a charity, but was
erected with tho intention of being conducted
as business speculation, and that therefor
it's managers have tho right to prescribe what
ever rules they please for its government. If
this be SO, the people have been most egregi-
ously deceived, but it is well enough to have
the fact known, that the poor working
women may cease to indulge in hopes that
arc never to be realized 1t is said that when
the doors of tile hotel were thrown open for

The DUTCH IN HoILAND.-The Depart
ment of State has received a report on the
social and political condition of the Dutch,
from the Minister of the United States to
The Hague. As as illustration of the careful
ness and steadiness of the Dutch, the Min
lister says that there has not been bank fail
ure in Holland during the last 40 years, and
that the paper money of the banks during
that time has been equal to gold In regard
to fire insurance companies, there is no such
thing as a failure on record, and, while the
rate of insurance does not average more than
half of one per cent, the companies are in
the most hourishing condition, realizing II
to 16 per cent. per annum. First class rail
road travel is only one per cent. per mile, and
yet the roads pay good dividends. Pllfering
officials are scarcely ever heard of, and when
they shock the nation by turning up, they
are severely punished and forever disgraCed.
No free passes are granted, and managers
and directors have 20 power to pass anybody
over the roads free. All must pay the public
rate. Dishonesty of any kind, or failure i'll
business, means public dishonor, and utterly
bars the dishonest from any future public
consideration. Four millions of people live
within an area of 10000 square miles, fact
unprecedented in any other country; and all
appear to be happy, prosperous and contented
The secret of this property lies In the fact
that all live within their income, and that in
dustry and honesty are principles firmly
established, that their violation is looked
upon as an outrage on the national character

The Nationals.

1t is a vain expectation on the part
of both Democrats and. Republicans
that the new organization called the
"Nationals" is to be talked out ofex.
istence or dispelled by calling itharsh
names. The true National party is
neither agrarian, communistic nor
socialistic. Its founders are an en-
tirely different class of men from the
French and German scamps who
lead the revolutionary communists,
for it is u purely American creation;
it grew out of our institutions from
great underlying public necessities
and strong public conviction. Its
manifest numerical strength forbids
the theory that it has been the crea.
ture ola caucus, or that it is the crea'
ture of a day, Its proclaimed pur-
poses, too, in the main, meet the APP
proval of thinking people, and prom
ises relief from grievances which ev.
erybody knows the great middle and
laboring classes, without fault Of
theirs, are to-day suffering.
We anticipate handsome results
from the vigorous and healthy spring
with which the "Nationals" have
bounded into the ring. They will
educate the old parties, if they do
nothing else. Naturally their in.
fuence will be felt more strongly by
the Democracy than by the Ropubli.
