A Hotel. The Home Press has urged the matter of a hotel in La Plata until we feel now that action is necessary. We therefore favor a public meeting to take action, or, at leant totlis-euss the propriety of forming a stock company and erecting a hotel in La Plata. We have two hotels, but they are now, and will continue to be Insufficient for the demand. We have uaught to say of those who are struggling with the circumstances and failing to meet the demand.

Hut we need more hotel capacity, and really better accommodations, and if we do not do something in this direction soon we will feel the effects of it in a forcible way. What say you, business men of La Plata, will we meet and discuss this important matter, or will we go on unconcerned, and reap tears instead of dollars? I'rhhiy Morning, 1888.
