Monoy is not thrown away on vulgar effects, but everything fs dono to pocure tho comfort of tho guests that a reasonable taste could demand. But tho most important feature of Chicago hotel- manngemont is tho kcoping of permanent bonrders. Rooms can bo accured at the leading hotels at rates less than ore charged at the most fashionable boarding-houses, and the number of boarders probably exceods by far the number in any othor city of the Union. Such guests ore kept at compara- tively small expense, and thoy Sill rooms that would otherwiso be vacant, Tho small profit derived from ench one of thom makes tho aggregate a largo mn, which goes far to pay tho daily running expenses in tho doll sonson, ‘Theso are the causos of tho pres- ont prosperity of the Chicago hotels. If the samo principles of management were adopted throughout the country, tho proprictors would in many instances savo themselves from ruin, while they would contribute in no small degree to tho comfort of the public. THE SPEAKERSHIP, ‘Tho most interesting feature of gonoral politics just now is tha contest ovor the Speakership of tho next House of Repro- sontatives, which may be sald to havo fairly begun. Indeod, there is uo donbt that tha gentlemen with aspirations havo been foeling thoir way and pulling the wiroa at their com- mand for many months. Tho House ia Democratic, by means of cortaiu sharp prac- tico in the caso of contested elections, by about 14 majority, so that the Domocrata may ensily oloct tho Spoakor unless thoy fall out among thomasclves, It seems to be gon. orally admitted that tho contest, at the pres- ont outlook, Ites botweon Mesars, Cox and Ranpaxt, though thoro are many other Demo- orntic caudidatoe for tho placa roady to place thamselves atthe front if opportunity offers, Both Cox and Ranpats profoss to bo entirely confident of success. ‘The main advantage of cach conalsta of nn aduiltted proficiency in tho duties of the Chair and a thorough famil- inrity with parliamentary rules and prao- tices, This quality, properly and honestly usod, is cortainly tho highost recommenda- tion for the place; but a Spenkor who Is in. clined to tho lobby may work more injury to tho publio interests than any other officer in the Government, Toe has tho appointing of all the Committoos of the House, aud may go constitute them as to virtually slape tho Jogialation of tho session, and so autocratic is his position, Le may at times defeat tho ma- jority by his ralings. Mr. Ianvate scams to be rogardod as tha candidate of tho ‘Texas Paciflo lobby, and thero is on improssion that thereon he basos his main reliance, as it is counted upon to soetre him the bulk of tho Southern vote, But it is worth while to remember that Mr, than $175,000,000 1 yonr; bunt, 03 soon as it can. bo had on demand, a largo sam will be hoarded. Tho banks must protect their 2300,000,000 of paper with gold, or retire thoir paper, ond it is truo, perhaps, that tho Nationst Banks which aro most clamorons for gold roanmp- tion aro thoso banks which have already reduced thoir circulation to the lowest sum allowed by law. As 150,000,000 gold will not proteot 8700,000,000 of paper, the paper muat bo retired, for specie payments cannot bo maintdined unless there bo coin within reach equal to the whole sum of the paper, An attempt to resumo otherwise must prove a failure,—a disgracefal, calamitous failure, Bnt specio payments to the axtent of re- deoming the greeubacks means not only gold for greenbacks, but also gold for bauk notes, gold to pay bank deposits, gold to pay private dobts, gold to pay wages, gold to pay expenses of tho General and all City and County Governments, gold to pay the costs of operating railroads, gold to psy city and corporation dobts, iuterost, and bonds, and gold to pay the entire mort- gage indobtedness of the people of tho United States, If the Bank of France, with coin equal to 93 por cont of the wholo bank Ppapor of tho country, dara not tako tho riak of compolling specio paymonts by the whole conntry, tho United States, with not over $150,000,000 of gold, will be inviting um- versal calamity by attempting to make specio payments general in this country.
