WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-[Special. -
The hotel rates are sky high in this city,
that is as far as the man who is ordl-
narily "fxed' in this life is concerned.
Ordinary rooms with the average hotel
grub, command from $40 a day, up. The
"up" means hundreds of dollars. Mr..
Cleveland, Mr.. Lamont and Mr.. Dickin-
son have obtained quarters at the Airing
ton hotel. These gentlemen bring their
families, of course, and each has engaged
a suite-of rooms consisting of three bed
rooms and a parlor. 1t is announced that
Mr.. Cleveland's board bill at this tavern
will be, $475 per day, not including ex'
tras. 1t is not stated whether the bill for
the quarters of the other gentlemen and
their antilles is included in this sum. If
Mr.. Cleveland is really glad be is elected,
the extras will amount to nearly as much
more. But he gets all that the ingenuity
of cooks and artists can devise for this
sum. The rooms will be decorated with
the most exquisite paintings and the most
costly rugs and flowers. He will eat
strawberries at So apiece with a gold
spoon from a gold saucer.
The hotel arrangements for his accom-
mediation and that of his wife and baby
exceed anything ever prepared fer any
man in the history of America, and all in
all the hotel will perhaps make very lit
tie profit out of its distinguished boarder
except in the matter of advertisement
For it was no sooner known that Mr.
Cleveland had concluded to put up al
this house than the proprietor was be
seeched for rooms. He was offered $50
a day for his poorest rooms and whatever
he wanted to charge for his best, which,
of course, were in the neighborhood of
the Cleveland suits.
l verify believe if he had put up at the
cheapest boarding house in the town
there would have been tens of thousands
of rich apes who would nave at once ta-
ken themselves to the cheapest houses in
imitation of him. There can be no cor
cealment Of the fact that we nave among
the greatest people of the South" a large
element of as disgusting and fawnirg
s~ycophants as ever made honest men
sick at the stomach-and yet we sheer at
the reverence of the European slaves
for their royal masters aud mistresses!
Members of appropriation committee
are beginning to feel apprehensive about
the passage of the sundry civil bill in the
house. The senate has added two amend
ments which will excite lively opposition
Onei is TIE Sherman amendment author
: iZing the treasury to issue 3 per cents,
which will be opposed by Mr.. Bland and
his free silver followers The other is al
appropriation to reimburse the state of
Nevada $4,000 for honey expended
for suppressing the rebellion, which is
opposed by all the southern brigadiers
and by the economists who urge thai it
this claim of Nevada is paid other states
will present similar claims aggregating
an enormous amount
Mr.. Holman has declared his intention ,
to demand cloture for the bill. This is
the result of Mr.. BANDS warning that il
the committee on appropriations ex
pected to pass the sundry civil bill at this
session of congress it would be well to
bring the bill before the house at tie
earliest practicable moment, as he in,
tended to have it fully considered, there.
