The Grin of the RothschiIds.

Louisville Courier Journal:-Ip
Frankfort-on-the-M IN the Ju
dengaseee, where all the Jews OF the
city were compelled TO live, and from
which quai ter they could not go aftei
a certain hour in the evening, with
out mourning severe punishment, II
detected, stands an old house, wher'
the first ROthschild of the name begal
business something like q hundred
years ago, and founded one of the
most pc Eerful dynasties of the time
1t is museum now, maintained by
the Rothschilds, aud free alike to Jew
and GENTLE, while the descendants
of its first owner, the prisoner, along
with his brethren, of the JudeDgasse
have made Frankfort one OF the great
est money markets OF Europe, anC
have planted themselves so deep and
so strong in the soil of Christendom
that they have matched their power
with that of the great Russian En-
pire, Cossacks, Siberia and all, and
what is more, have succeeded in max
ing the Gar see more stars than any
Russian Emperor has beheld since
the guns of England and France were
laundering in the Crimea.
There is no more singular or absorb
ing spectacle in Europe than the COM
bat between the Rothschilds, bank
ers, and the Car of Russia, despot,
the money power and the CONSOLE
dated weight of vast semi-barba-
rism meeting on the silent, but none
the less desperate, field of battle.
There are no Waterloos and no
Sedans, but animOsity and courage
are not on that account lacking, and
the struggle is likely to he fought out
to the bitter end. III the old kings OF
two or three hundred years ago, OF
even of hundred years ago, who re-
garded the Jews as mere lsaacs OF
York, to be tolerated when their n
nancial ability was needed, and to be-
kicked out OF the kingdom when II
was not, could behold the spectacle
of a house of the despised race daring
to plant itself in opposition to the en-
tire weight of the gigantic Russian
Empire, they would raise up in their
graves and wiring their hands and
rend their ghOstly cerements, and pre-
pare to hear the trump or the arch
angel Gabriel summoning them to
the end of the world. Nevertheless,
il is true that the war exists, and In
this case, the power of immense
wealth has been used In cause that
is Just, the sympathies of civilized
people being in the main with the
Rothscbilds, who have uniformly put
their riches to better uses than our
own Anne. lean multi-millionaires
have.
The trouble began with the whole
sale Russian persecution of the Jews,
certainly the most extraordinary and
cruel measure of the century, and the
Rothschilds in behalf of their perse-
euted brethren issued fiat of their
own in return for the ukase OF the
Car. In this they are to be COM
mended, as they undertook the war
through unselfish motives, having
nothing to win and much to loose.
There must have been some lively
scenes of surprise at the Court of st.
Petersburg, and perhaps considerable
derisiOn, when the determination OF
the Rothschilds became known, but,
be that rs it may, they have made
good their threats, much 20 the cost
of the Great White Gar and his loyal
and now half famished subjects.
Russia is a notorious beggar in all
the money markets of Europe, for,
while the Gar, during the genera
tions. has been carrying the mile
stones that mark his territorial limits
further into Europe and Asia, aud
bringing new tribes and new nations
under his sway, Russian finance has
remained an infirm aud crazy thing,
a feeble pillar that the first adverse
wind may tOpple over and bring the
whole Russian Empire tumoliI g
down in fragments with it, for in this /
modern time, in the case of nations as
we'll as individuals, il takes money to
make the mare go. This wss II
weak spot of the Gear. Nobody knew /
It better than the Rothschilds, and !,
agaip and again have they countered !
