New York GatsJsg Her own

We are glad to know there is one
New Yorker who does not endorse
the game of bluff which the bankers
and newspapers of that city sre try
ing to play on the Western people
in regard to the financial measures
now before Congress. ThurloW
Weed In his letter to the Tribune
points out to the New York mer-
chants and bankers how they are
cutting their own thrOats by their
proposed policy toward the West.
He shows them that New York is
not in a position, just now, to put
on many airs, and that other cast
ern cities are rapidly preparing to
accept the trade of the West, which
New York is about to throw away.
Mr.. Weed says:
az will not permit myself to be-
lieve that New York bankers, even
under the stimulus of tia New Y ork
press, are so infatuated as to carry
their threats concerning Western
loans into effect. We have been
compelled for q long time TO pay
for silks, champagne, cigars, etc, in
gold. This is bad enough, but the
grinding process had better stop
here. There are causes enough al.
ready at work to deprive New York
of the business of the West, without
8 combination of bankers, egged on
by the press, to refuse Western loans
unless payment in gold is nominst
ed in the bond. New Orleans
Charleston, Baltimore, and Phila.
delphia, with the laws OF climate
and distance in their favor, are &C
lively competing for the business 81
long monopolized by New York
And to-day the Tribane announce
the establishment of line of steam
ers between Portland and GLASGOW
connected with the Canadian Crane
Trunk railway. Confronted will
such eventualities, is this time II
threaten the West with exaction
which may disrupt our business re
lations with those to whom we mus
look, and upon whom we must rely
for our futRre growth and prosper
ityf If our capital is refused, tn
West will find 1t elsewhere"

HOTEL LIFE.

Last fall, Judge Hilton, in the inter
ests of Mrs. A. T. Stewart, assumed
control of the Metropolitan hotel, and
in doing so,called to his aid Mr.. Henry
Clair, manager of the celebrate d
Grand Union, Saratoga. First in the
way of improvements has been thor
ough re-furnishing accomplished in
the richest materials, combined with
the most refined and beautiful taste.
simultaneously, also, the Cuisine has
been perfected, while rates have been
reduced SO that we now find in this
truly elegant establishment, the unus-
ual combination of first-class fare, fine
surroundings, and moderate prices.
These advantages are of course due TO
the fact that A. T. Stewart s. Co., pos
sess facilities unattainable by smaller
capitalists, and now that this great
firm has taken possession, the Metro
politan may be regarded as the hotel
of the city. Not only the comfort, but
the security of guests are vigilantly
looked after, for even by day, special
watchmen are employed, while at
night, each floor is patrolled. Under
the present management, the idea is to
give as much as possible, asking as
little as possible in return.
MRS. HICKS LORD
is still beautiful and facinating wo-
man, of the blonde style, and COM

GOOD THINGS TO COME.

L have dwelt at some length on these
new costumes, not only because they
are admirable in themselves, but be-
cause they are the foretaste of better
thugs in the future. 1 cannot believe
but what they will enter in and bring
improvement to the whole range of
attire for the street. The evil has been
so monstrous that it is working its own
cure, nor can suppose that any lady
sees a relief FROM train which she is
forced to hold up, with frozen crippled
fingers. will not hasten to seek that re-
lief, and do not fear to prophecy
that ere very long, we will see these
short costumes made up in handsomer
materials, and generally patronized
for outdoor promenades. Summer
dresses will share largely in the i'm
provement, as by the coming of spring,
these new ideas will have fully pene-
trated. At present we have invested
so heavily in trains, that we must wear
them out or go into bankruptcy, but in
choosing costumes on the change OF
season, we will be free. Short skirts
moreover cannot be very tightly tied
back, and once again, a woman may
hope for comparatively free use of her
