dicott, Warner Miller and Others fer
stopping at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
New York city, has attracted some at
tention. Recently the proprietors of
the Fifth Avenue became involved in a
quarrel with the Printers Labor Union,
and the latter association Immediately
decided to boycott the hotel, and every
| one who stopped there. For obvious
reasons the boycott only extends to
public men and men of business promi.
| nence. John Sherman was one of the
first to go to the hotel after the declar.
alton of war, and the morning after his
arrival he found among his letters cir.
cular telling him the hotel was in a state
| of siege and that he must leave it at
once if he wished to save his social and
political future. The circular went on
to say that the Central Labor Union
was a powerful organization, and could
ruin any man socially, commercially or
politically if it so desired. Mr.. Sher.
man simply turned the circular over to
one Of the clerks of the hotel, saving
he had no use for it. He continued to
stay at the hotel, Notwithstanding the
circular, and has been placed on the
prescribed list. Secretary Endicott's
experience was similar one. Warner
Miller received his warning circular ten
days ago, but he returned again to the
Fifth Avenue, and increased his offense
by taking his wife with him. He said
ne should pay no attention whatever to
the threats of the Union. Nearly
every mail brings new grist of circu-
lars from the boycotters. No name is
signed to the circular, it being prepared
in printed form and having the name OF
the Central Labor Union at the bottom.
Ex-Governor Foster of Ohio found one
OF the circulars 10 his mail and prompt.
ly consigned it to the waste basket.
mo one but demagogue, he said,
would pay any attention to such stuff"
The only man the circular is reported
to have affected is Gen. Butler. He
received notice just as he was leaving
the hotel short time ago. The clerk
at the hotel said that the General had
not returned there since.
The New York Herald thinks the
Grant Monument Committee ought by
this time to be convinced of the futility
of its plan. The committee organized
itself and advertised at the instance of
A. B. Cornell, for $1,000, 600. They
have raised, in four months, a little
over 500, 1000 Only minority of the
committee have subscribed. The half
dozen principal managers who got up
the committee and put the 500 names
on the list, ask for greater degree of
confidence in their discretion than the
public. or even majority of their own
associates, are willing to accord. The
request for l,OOO,OO to be contrib.
uted, for them to spend on any kind
of monument they see fit, it is clear to
everybody but themselves, the people
at large pronounce unreasonable.
The New York Mail and Express
contains a strong Endorsement by Cyrus
w. Field of Senator Edmunds' bill re-
gardlng Government control of the tele-
graph. He says: "In my opinion the
time has come when the Government
should purchase the telegraph lines of
the country. A law should be passed
by Congress making all purchases, go
that every company should be bound
by the same principle. Each telegraph
company should select an arbitrator
and the Government choose another.
If these two disagree, they ought to
choose a third. who should be a man
thoroughly experienced and regarded as
an expert in the business. These arb.
traitors should have power to examine
reports and accounts, SO as to arrive at
the actual net profits
