The Imperial Diamond Lost.

Calcutta, May 22.-It is reported here
from Hydelrabad that the historical gem
known as the Imperial Diamond, sold by
Alexander Jacob, jeweler of Simla to the
Nizam of Hydelrabad was stolen from the
government treasury and replaced by a
paste diamond. The affair has caused a
great sensation as the Nizam intended to
present the diamond to Queen Victoria
upon the occasion of her jubilee. Jacob,
after a long trial in 1891 for appropriat-
ing % lakhs of rupees, deposited by the
Nizam as earnest of the money to pur-
chase the gem, was acquitted.

proving 1t Is right, and the Republi-
can party Is admitting now nearly
every important position We took on
the money question last fall and in
stead OF being ended, the money cues

Legislative hall, OF every room where
court meets, from Justice of the
ncace to the supreme court of the
United States. Itmeans that the peo-
pie who constitute this nation, those
described by Carlisle in 1878 as the
ones who produce the wealth and pay
the taxes o. the country, can make

dollar wheat. What tho Republicans
said we want is a dollar to buy more
