A,tERIcAN HOTELS.

From an article on "Hotel Keeping
by George lies, in the August Century,
we quote the following on the construc.
tion of hotels: "Hotels in America are
the best and most splendid in the world
The existence of an immense travelling
population willing to pay the tariff Of
good houses, the cheap land available In
many cities, the prevalent love of dis
play, aud the exigencies of an extreme
and valuable climate, have all con.
tributed to this result. Hotel designing
has become profession apart, and sew
eral eminent architects do very little
other professional work. This branch
Of design demands, besides special
knowledge growing out of the wants of
hotel mnganement, increased care in
every direction wherein the good
panner of residences exercises
thought. AS the height and capacity of
hotel exceed those Of a dwelling, so do
the penalties ofits bad design and work.
manship entail more grievous results.
Hotel architecture has its special diff.
cultes. In large cities land is very
costly, so story must be speedily added
to story, that much room may be pro.
vided, and the investment begin to pay
return at the earliest possible date.
Hence the risk in case the land is made
land, or the foundation rests upon any.
thing but rock, that the lofty structure
may settle unequally, with momentous
arrangement and loss. A hotel con
tains q labyrinth Of flues, pipes, and
wires, any break in which may be deadly
to hapless guests and servants. Be.
sides, the cracks aud crannies Of huge
building settling down invite rats and
mice, pests impossible to Danish when
once in possession. Therefore, after
securing q good position for hotel, the
principal thing is to have q thoroughly
solid foundation, and all the courses of
the drain, gas, and water pipes made
easily accessible for stated and frequent
examination. Modern hotels of the
best type have solid brick partition
walls from ground to roof, dividing room
from room. The walls conduce to safety
in case Of fire, and with well.deafened
floors, help the important cause of quiet.
Whoever would see the American hotel,
as far as architecture goes, in its utmost
development, must cross the continent
and visit the Palace at San Francisco.
continental plan Of having a large iu.
terror court accessible by carriages. This
court is covered with glass, decorated
with plants, and enlivened with music.
To provide against the risk of earthquake
the structure is thing of massive iron
bolts and bands. Comparative cheap
ness of land has enabled the architect tc
make every room spacious, and each has
bath, closet, and dressing room attached
Every external room has bay window
Pneumatic tubes connect each floor will
the office, for the rapid dispatch of letters
and parcels. Yet, with all the vast out

to have overpassed in dimensions tn
limits within which sense of comfort i
, possible. Many travellers prefer house

THE FRANco.GERMAN QUARREL

The word war between Germany and
France is becoming as bitter as the one
of September, 1888, when the North
German Gazette shot off its last charges
of vituperative abuse at its Gallo neigh
Dor. This time the provocation is diff.
cult to find, and the Temps frankly
acknowledges that it "fails to see how
the Gazette could interpret its remarks
as q sign that the bourgeoisie meditates
war Of revenge" There are various
explanations given as 10 Prince BIS.
marck's reason for permitting the
publication of the offensive articles.
Official Berlin thinks they are
intended to prepare the public
fora large increase in the military budget.
This explanation will not hold good, how.
ever, since Prince Bismarck can do pretty
well what he likes in such matters with
the reichstag. Another explanation is
that Prince Bismarck views with jealousy
the "approach of France and Russia
toward each other.n This is the more
probable explanation, though so far signs
of an alliance between the republic and
the empire are not perceptible TO the or.
dinary mind.
The real reason of Prince Bismarck S
newspaper attack must undoubtedly be
looked for elsewhere, and accepting the
views of the German press of an Sin.
creasing good will between England and
Germany" 1t is extremely probable
that the articles in the North German
Gazette are intended to warn France
from interference in Egyptian affairs
rather than from any attack on Germany;
to warn her against aggressive move.
ments that might tend to disturb his own
plans in connection with those of Eng
land in Egypt and the east. Prince Bis.
marck is quite contented so long as France
wastes her strength and finances on for.
eign colonial adventures; but he is
very determined to have the last say in
any changes that may be made in south
eastern Europe or in Turkeys dependen-
cies. But the chancellor's ways OF con.
ducting his diplomacy with friendly
nation are both Objectionable and insult.

the chancellor's eccentricities Of meth.

danger comes when asinine imitators are
allowed to open their mouths and wake

FISHING up pEMocRAT1c WRA soAI

FISHING UP DEMOCRATIC IRA SEALS"
Once more, fishing for frauds by Dem.
ocratic reiormers brings TO the surface
conspicuous Democrats. The admins.
tration, it seems, has been engaged-and
very properly-in turning out the peo.
pie who hold the great cattle leases in
the Indian territory; and now il dis
covers, perhaps with disgust and per-
haps not, that O considerable if not a
controlling interest in those operations
is held by certain distinguished Demo.
Gratis, and particularly by ex'Mayor
Cooper and Representative Abram s.
Hewitt. What other prominent associ
ates of the Democratic persuasion they
have in this city does not appear; in fact
the disclosure is altogether Dem.
otrGtic one, and no Republican
vouches for It's truth. All that can be
said about it is that on high Democratic
authority it is affirmed that the CONTROL
ing interest in the syndicate which holds
and operates the land leases in the In
dian territory belongs to the gentlemen
named and other rich Democratic asso.
cates in New York. Now this business
has been roundly denounced by Demo
cratic journals and Democratic politl.
clans as one of the most Infamous of all
the "infamous fraudsn which had grown
up under Republican administrations.
1t would therefore be pleasing to know
in what light these Democratic reformers
now regard the distinguished Democrats
who come to the front in connection with
