will a Grand Hotel Pay?

The chief difficulty in the way Of OBJ
tanning the mOne to build the proposed
hotel on the Barracks lot is the doubt in
the mind Of capitalists and business men
as to whether such a building as is de-
sired will pay a reasonable dividend on
the stock. 1t is tOlerably certain that a
hotel costing in the aggregate nearly a
half million dollars would attract many
so~iourners to the city and add much to
its appearance and Importance, n IN a
few years at most it would be sure to pay
its owners. As hotels are ordinarily con-
structed and managed, however, it might
not prove profitable from the start.
There is a plan by which such a build
inc could be made to return a good per-
centage on the money invested without
any appreciable risk to the investors. Let
the building be erected after such a plan
that the whole or any portion of it can be
used as a hotel or rented to families in
flats. The ground floor would, Of course,
be composed of offices and stores, while five
or six other floors could be divided into flats
of from four to eight rooms each, separated
from the other by hre walls and fire
proof floors and ceilings. A sufficient
number of elevators and stairways should
be provided-all tire-prOO-to meet the
wants of the guests and tenants, and all
modern -cOnveniences supplied in every
part of the building.
The stores might be expected to rent tor
S12,O 600 to $15, 600 peryear, and the Liberty
street frOnt-the first part opened as a
hotel-for as much more. Then there
would remain sixty or seventy Hats
which would bring S25, 700 or 100000 more.
1t looks reasonable to calculate that the
gross income from such a building would
be about $50,O 600 per annum, and no doubt
$50 600 would remain for dividends after
having taxes, insurance and other neces-
sary expenses,
The success of gigantic flats in New
York and other cities has been wonderful,
and where they are built and arranged in
the best manner and well managed the
rents are high, and they are only occu-
pied bv the best class Of tenants. If the
increased patronage of the hotel should
demand additional room, the flats, under
a reservation in the leases, could be with
drawn, and no dead space need be carried
by the owners or tenants of the building
for a single year.
This is one plan suggested for elimi-
mating doubt from the minds of investors
and securing a hotel which would be an
ornament and honor to the city. 1t looks
like a feasible one.

The Negro Vote.

The Republican journals are engaged
lust now in tearing their hair, figuratively
speaking, about the result of the election.
They can see many reasons for the defeat
Of their party, and the number of big 'lts'
they are using is somewhat astonishing.
The one thing that troubles them appar-
emily more than anything else is the fact
that the enfranchisement of the negro
gives the South thirty-seven members Of
Congress, and, consequently, thirty-seyen
votes i'm the electoral college, which 1t
would not have if its representation was
based on its white population alone, sand
these thirty-seven votes" they say, "haVe
given the electoral college to Cleveland"
In discussing this question these jour-
nails invariably assume that the negroes
of the South should, if fairly treated, have
a representation in Congress in proportion
to their numbers, and that they are in
undated by shOtguns and defrauded by
means Of tissue ballots, and that violence
and wrong have wiped out the Southern
Republican vote. While they assume this
they do not support it with proof.
In this connection another thing is
worthy Of notice. By what means did
the Republicans wed the greater part of
the negro vote to themselves? 1t was
done by Misrepresentation, threats aud
by operating upon the worst passions and
fears of the negroes. The negroes would
have gone naturally almost in a body
with their former masters and Southern
white friends had it not been for the fact
that the Republicans taught them falsely
that the Democrats intended to disfran-
chise and ~re-enslave them, while the Re-
publicans offered them offices and social
equality. In many instances a division
of the lands among the negroes was prom
ised. and in other instances ~disreputable
means were used to perpetuate race hos
tiIity, aud to sOlidify the negro vote on the
Republican side.
In view of the means used by the Re
publicans to secure and retain the negro
vote. and the v~illainies of Republican rule
in the South during the reconstruction
era, nothing could have been more natu-
raj and inevitable han the sOlidifying of
the white vote on the other side. ThOus-
auds of Southern whites who were dis
posed for awhile to act with the Republl-
q fed from such an alliance as from
a pestilence.
S~landering the South can hardly do
these Republican journals any good now.
1t was certainly pOwerless to do the South
or the Democratic party any serious harm
before the election.

the Independents will be found in line,
working as earnestly for the election OF
the Republican ticket as they did 10 de-
feat Blaine this year. When the Demo-
cratic party gets possession of the govern
ment, however, it may confidently be ex-
pected that if its representatives pursue
a wise course, it will gather enough
strength from the ranks of those upon
whom party ties hang loosely to keep 1t IN
power much longer than one term.
If the Democratic party should redeem
the pledges it has made to reduce tariff
/ taxation to a revenue basis, or do its Ut
most in that direction, there is little room
to doubt that it will make great gains IN
the West, while it may, perhaps, lose a
few adherents here and there in the South
and East. 1t is evident, however, that
there cannot be any general breaking up
of the two leading parties in the country
for many years, at least not until the ke'

The Philadelphia NelgS, a d~yed-in-the-

there is a spark of gratitude in the soul

j. Randall to take a place in his Cabinet.
But for Mr.. Randall" it says, ''there
would not have been a possibility of Dem
cratic success this year." Without I'M
derrating Mi. Randall or the value of his
services, it is proper to inquire what he
has done this year to insure Democratic
success. About sixty days before the
election he was expressing confidence
that Pennsylvania would be carried for
the Democrats. At the election in that
State only a properly shaped motion
seemed to be needed to make the election
of the Blaine ticket unanimous. Mr.. Ran
dali is a man of parts, but it does seem
that he can claim no reward on account
Of any special services rendered the party
in the recent election. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that his Republican admirers
by incorporate advocacy of his interests
will not do him a positive injury.
