ROTHSCHILDS WANTS GOLD.

The Democrats are only and solely
responsible for the financial middle
which has been depressing the country
for months, and which now threatens
disaster. 1t has been tinkering with
the tariff and mOnkeying with the
money every since the hour in which
that party assumed control of the
country without stopping a moment al
any time to note results or repair dam
ages. The party was at first laughed
at, then commiserated; finally feared.
But the question comes now, and
the days in which to answer it are less
than thirty, is the United States to be-
come, like the old nations of Europe,
a perpetual borrower in the open mar
ket? Assistant Treasurer goes to New
York to confer with the agents of the
ROthschilds, the Earrings, and other
Lombard street magnates. The Re
publican party for years held to the
doctrine that the road to national in
pendence and continued prosperity was
the one which would lead the country
the quickest out of debt. So, for years,
and always, even down to the last
days of the Harrison administration,
! the great war debt, in spite Of in
creasing pensions, was hourly reduced
That the Democratic policy ended

RothSchilds have announced that il
they are expected TO take our bonds

a view of Republican support, while

that President Cleveland will be com

SCOOPED.

The editor of this paper entered
his office yesterday with an expression
of misery pastered over his clear-cut
features and a smothered groan in his
| breathing that hung on the brink of
| desperation.
In the presence of the assembled
force. and in Cathedral silence he
screwed his lips into easy relations
with passionate hate and Missed:
"Scooped!'
The word quivered through the room
struck the opposite wall, and fell to
the floor with shivering cry; the big
clock on the wall stopped stiff-frozen
at the hour and an old steel engraving
of Horace Greeley, which hangs a
bove, trembled for an instant and then
with awful deliberation, but c0nscien-
tious decision, reeled, twisted, turned
its face toward the wall.
Again the bearer of the taliSmanic
word Missed through the palpitatlng
air the dread tidinss:
I'VE forgot to say a word about the
ground-hogi
And we did. There is in the great
swing and switch OF the Universe an
appointed order by which every star
finds its appointed place; every sun
and moon touches pre-ordained spot
at the exact and prearranged parti-
Gle of a fraction of fraction of an
infinitesimal portion Of a part of a
second. Likewise the minds of men
are planned to work with the same eX-
acting exactitude. Every emotion and
the degree Of its intensity; every
thought and its import; every sigh and
its sorrow; every sign and its portent
is a pledged fact centuries before 1t Is
performed reality.
SO in the grind of the great Inverse
with its irrevocable laws the second
day of February, 1895 turned to its
brief but essential place in illimitable
time. And so the PleaideS swung with
precision into the appointed place in
the skies where Nature in the begin
ming had intended they should be on
the second day of February, 1898. So
the mind of every man in the Eagle
office, from the devil up, swung to its
particular and pre-ordained orbit for
that day.
And in the cruel precision of events
no Eagle writer's mental orbit embrac-
cd a thought of the grounding and
no mention of the grounding was
made in the Eagle. And, alachaday,
the Eagle was ScOoped.
For twenty-five years the Eagle has
religiously mentioned the grounding
and his shadow. Last Saturday it did
not 1t was not the Eagles fault.A con-
spiracy of pre-ordained events undid
the Eagle, and that ought to be apology
enough to any man who knows any
thing about astronomy and astrOiOgy.

Wood mosaics are now manufactured
In purely mechanical way at the Paris
palace of industry. The scale of colors
is extremely rich, there being no less
than twelve thousand different shades
that can be used. This being the case,
the very best paintings of the old mas
tiers can be faithfully reproduced. The
great advantage attained in mosaic
is that should the colors fade they can
be restored to their original hue by
planning, because the fiber of the wood
is thoroughly and evenly permeated by
the colors- These mosaics are durably
affixed to boards, with their eolors
beautifully exhibited By placing the
grain OF the wood at right angles--N.
