Hard Time. at the Watering Places.

A few, very few, Of the large sum-
mer hotels have been doing a good busl-
ness, but a majority of proprietors
will be very fortunate if d. tle close Of
the season the balance is not on the
wrong side Of the ledger. At Saratoga
there is noticeable absence Of the gar
den parties and balls on which money
was so lavishly expended In former
years, and curtailment OF expenses is
made wherever possible. The hotels, as
a rule, are not making money. and their
doors will be closed with bang on the
very first frosty night. At the big hotels
in the mountains, where high rates pre-
vail, the conditions are much the same
as at Saratoga. Hotel Mail.

Popular Repre.<Btasion blocked.

The whole question OF the revision Of
the method Of popular representation in
Belgium is booked at present by the at
titpde Of the government in relation TO
the reorganization Of the senate, which
may lead ultimately 20 a conflict between
the houses and may involve the throne.
The correspondent Of the London Times
at Brussels says: a more peTplexing mat
teris the utter insignifcznce Of the point
at issue. Apart from the 26 senators to
be elected by the provincial councils
without paying any taxes is the senate
to be composed only Of members paying
direct tax Of 500 francs, with ths
proportion Of one eligible in 5000 inhab=
iiants. OF may Is not be admitted that
the inhabitants who pay the highest
taxes in each province under 800 francs
should Be equally eligible for the senate
in the proportion Of one to every 5000
inhabitants; Upon this the whole ques-
tiOn turns. The latter proposal, while
still constituting a senate Of which three
fouTths are to represent the great landed
proprictors, would raise the number Of
those eligible from 200 70 e,0O0. And
it is for this petty difference that the re-
vision Of the constitution is not only
postponed in the house Of representa-
tives, but exposed to the danger Of ulti-
mate failure.
