The Hotel Meeting To- Night.

About all that can be said about the ne
cessity for new hotel IN this city has
been said. The enterprise is in better
shape now than ever before. There is
deeper interest in it and greater willing
ness to help it forward. The meeting to-
night is for the purpose OF counseling to-
gether relative TO the means tor securing
the money that is needed. 1t is neces-
sary toat the entire amount should be
pledged before the building is begun. II
is calculated that $3.50, 600 TO $1,000 Will
be required. The entire amount can eas-
lily be secured in this city, and it has been
pointed out time and again that the en-
terprise Will pay fair return for every
dollar invested in it. Several citizens
haye already offered to subscribe $1,000
each, There are fifty or more gentlemen in
this city who are each able TO invest that
sum in a hotel, and in view OF the fact
that the investment will pay they ought
not 10 hesitate about making the invest
ment. If they would do so the hotel
would be ready for occupation in a few
months. 1t would not be incumbered
with bonds or preferred stock. Let the
subscriptions be taken with the under
standing that they are not to be binding
unless the whole amount required is sub
scribed, and let the subscriptions be made
payable at the rate OF 8 or 10 per cent. per
month as they may be needed. Some
such plan as this would, doubtless, aid in
securing subscriptions. Let the meeting
tonight be a full and an enthusiastic

Let Chinamen be Treated Justly


The Chinese are a very patient people.
If they were not they would not endure so
quietly the wrongs and insults to which
they are being subjected in this country
whenever an opportunity presents itself.
The outrages in Wyoming Territory few
weeks ago, when they were driven
from their homes, their property
destroyed, and many Of them
shot to death within their own houses,
would have been deemed sufficient by al
most any other nation to Justify retaliat-
ing measures. There are many Ameri-
cans in China, and American interests
there are great. The feeling against
Americans was very strong in China
when reports OF the attacks upon defense
less Cinnamon on the Pacific coast were
received there, and it would not have
taken much urging TO have brought about
a general attack upon American resi-
dents.
But inexcusable and indetensible as
were the outrages to which law-abiding
Cinnamon in Wyoming were subjected,
what is there to be said in defense Of the
alleged insult offered to the new Chinese
Minister at San Francisco the other day
by the Collector and surveyor of thai
port? 1t cannot be for a moment
doubted that the officers were
well aware of the official
character OF the Minister and Of bis right
to land without showing his credentials.
They ought 20 be sharply reprimanded,
and the government ought not TO be salts
fled with simply reprimanding them, If
the facts are as the Gu nese Consul stated
them. 1t ought to offer the Chinese gov
eminent an ample apology. Because
China is a comparatively weak power IL
is no reason why we should murder her
citizens, especially since we have sol
EMMY agreed to protect them, nor
insult those she sends 10 us TO represent
her. II Is true, according to our dis
patches this morning, that the officers at
san Francisco say that the landing of the
Minister was not delayed and that no dis
courtesy was shown him, but they do not
deny that his credentials were demanded
II bis credentials were not demanded and
his landing was not unnecessarily de-
layed in any way, an explanation Will be
n order from the Chinese Consul At san
Francisco. Doubtless all the facts are
not contained in the dispatches OF the
customs officers.

fFbW tIe CtctetoitN LcdOeFs
Old friends Of Cleveland whisper emphat-
ically that the President will never marry.
They say at the only woman the President
ever really loved has been in her grave for
more than twenty five years. He met her,
they say. when he was a school teacher in a
little town Of New York, when the down had
just begun 10 come upon his lip. and she was
sweet sixteen. They loved, but were too poor
to marry. Cleveland had decided to 90 West
to MAKE fortune. when hI- sweetheart be
came SICK and W thin few days died.
James Bu 'hanan's love Tilted HIM when he
was young man and he never courted an
other. Fillmore had much the same expert
ence of Cleveland, in that he was too poor to
marry when he first fell in love. He went of
and spent three years at Buffalo without see
ing hIs sweetheart because he was too poor to
pay the travelling expenses of $50 miles which
lay between them

From the Lpndon Truth

The Duke OF Portland is constantly re-
terred to as a great London landlord. The
fact IL that al the death Of the late Duke the
passed, under settlement, to his ST ters. Lady
Os5ngtOn and Lady Howard de Walden, who
also b. came pO-sessed OF a considerable uOr-
ton Of the Ayr-hire property. The present
Duke inherit ed the DCTbvshre and Motifs
estates (43,oO0) acres, pro erty of ll.OO0
acres In Northumberland, which came to the
Bentincks from the Ogl- family; $4,000 acres
in Caithne-s, all the estates in that county
having been purchased since ] 55 by the late
BAKE, and also some property in Ayrshire.
ny the way, here Is no truth in the report
that the luke Of Portland is engaged to be
married to young lady from New York. The
Duke Is not engaged to anybody, and has no
present intention of cha nglng his condition.
