W' The Democrats have accomplished in the*first three months of their oontrol of the Government than was ex­ piated of them. Not oulv have they kept the gold balance in the Treasury be­ low the normal line of f100,000,000 ul- moat constantly, but they have suc­ ceeded iu working up a sentiment which wiU probably flood the country with Wildcat currency before their first year in office ends. More than this they have developed a plan by which they are going to remove from the pension rolls hun­ dreds of thousands of men now drawing pensions JOT" There are certain houses of evil 4tnen at Washington. Such is the house fa» which Blaine died. In front of it Gen. Daniel Sickles shot Philip Barton Key; in it took place the attempted assassina­ tion of Secretary Seward; other families who occupied it met with misfortune: and lastly Blaine there lost his two chil­ dren, and finally therein he himself died. Now such appears to be the fate of the Old I'oi d Theater, in which our beloved President Lincoln was shot. For some time it has been used as an office of the Pension Department. On Monday last it OOllapsed and twenty-one clerks |dflled, tesidee many wounded. ;l^KP"So it seems that the predictions . trhich wt<re made during the campaign jragarding the meaning of Democrat suc­ cess at the polls are to be fully realized. It was predicted last November that if the Democrats got control they would oat of! the pensions of hundreds of thous­ and of soldiers, flood the country with Wildcat currency and reduce the wages of Workingmen and the prosperity of the manufacturers by a reduction of tho tariff. All of this they are doing or pre­ paring to do. As indicated, leading Democrats, east and Bouth, and some of those of the west are proposing and de­ manding a repeal of the tax on state bank circulation, which will give to the country again a miscellaneous currency tesned by state and private banks, the Value of which nobody will know. That this plan is really and seriously contem­ plated is shown, not only by the large limnber of people who have expressed Jfcemselves in its favor, but by the fact that leaders of the Democratic party now admit that this to be done. Even such a Conservative and usually wise statesman •8 Congressman Wilson, of West Vir- C*inia, who presided over the convention Which nominated Cleveland now admits that this is likely to be done and com toends the plan as "a ready made and ^asy solution of the question of how to get more currency," excusing the weak Jesses and vicious features of the prop­ osition, by saying that the currency so issued will not be a legal tender and therefore nobody will be obliged to ac­ cept it unless he wants to. Here then is j the man who presided over the conven tion whish nominated Mr. Cleveland now openly advocating wildcat money and preparing to support a bill for its crea­ tion in congress. . . . . . , _ . . . The of pipteafei ta tjfeycle riders this'aaisoti has wbw a sub­ ject of considerable comment. Last year and the year before there were ac­ cidents to riders and to those with whom they happened to collide while rising at a rapid pace through the streets, but thii season one can hardly glance over the cd* trains of a newspaper without reading ac* counts of several of these mishaps. It al* most seems that the wheelmen had en*: tered in a compact to injure themselves^ and others as often as an opportunity presented itself. The reasons for the in-» crease'in the bicycle accident list are in the first place that there are more wheels than ever before, and in the second that the alleged improvements in construc tion tend to accidents. The new style wheels, with their pneumatic tires, are without brakes, so that the rider cannot stop as readily as formerly when he sees that he is approaching danger. The construction of the tire Is stich lhat were it supplied with a brake the sudden and determined use of that ar­ ticle would burst the tire, allowing the air to escape. The new style wheels run over the pavements so much more easily than the old style ones that when a vig­ orous young man gets astride of one of them he is seized with a desire to go like racehorse, and he does. The combina­ tion of swift riding and no brakes is re­ sponsible for probably 50 per cent of the accidents to the wheelmen and the mor tals who happen to get in their way. It might not be a bad idea to regulate their speed by law, especially through the crowded parts of the streets.--Boston Transcript.

While fishing on the bank of Stony creek, Jonnnie Johnson, a lad of 12 years, tumbled into the water and sank beneath the surface. Other boys saw him disap? pear, and they scampered away for aid. { Johnnie struggled until he reached dry land and then took to his heels. Half an hour later he stood on the Main street bridge watching a crowd of men raking the waters of the creek with grappling hooks. He became interested in the strange occupation of the men, never dreaming they were looking for his own bod}'. His clothes were wet, and i t was nice and sunny on the br idges ; ; remained there an hour until thoroughly , dry, and then descended to the creek bank, where the anxious crowd was watching the dragging of the stream. What you doin?" inquired Johnnie of one who had just come out of the water. Lookin fer Johnnie Johnson's corpse," replied the man. "He tumbled in there two hours ago." Why, I'm Johnnie Johnson," said the astonished lad. Then he explained to the disgusted crowd of people who had been eager to see a limp body pulled from the creek.--Norristown Cor.

To curtail to any extent the privileges of the country editor would in our opinion be the apotheosis of meanness, treachery and ingratitude. ife Parsimonious Royalty. The royal family of England is said to be the most money loving of the princely blood of Europe. The queen has accu­ mulated a vast fortune from her savings, and she pays her servants less than they can get in any first class hotel. Her daughter, the Princess Lonise, inherits this parsimonious spirit, and jnst now the radical press of London is making an outcry because the princess competed with other sculptors for a statue to the qtteen and got the contract through royal influence. The princess charged full price for the work--$2,500--and exacted fBOO in advance. The poorer sculptors had to stand aside. The Prince of Wales, however, does not inherit the thrifty in­ stinct. He wears 1,000 pairs of gloves a year and buys them all from Denmark instead of encouraging the home indtus- ;; try.--San Francisco Argonaut. ; A. Dress Suit at a Swell Breakfast.

Another Embassador. Germany has promptly followed the example of England and France by ap­ pointing to the United States an embas­ sador instead of a minister. It may be taken for granted that Pres­ ident Cleveland will acknowledge the courtesy and return the compliment by advancing Minister Runyon to the rank, of embassador. - Now that the reform has set in it will doubtless move on until the leading powers of the world are represented by embassadors at Washington and the United States by diplomats of that grade at foreign courts. This will be a decided gain for the United States. Ex-MinisterS Reid and Lincoln have forcibly pointed out the disadvantages under which our representatives abroad have labored, not merely on ceremonial occasions, but also in matters of state business, by reason of the fact that foreign embassadors have taken precedence of American min­ isters.--New York Herald.

West McHenry, III. GEORGE 0, 2:211-2. Billions and Billions of Violets. The Hempstead plains on Long Island are worth traveling a day's journey to see on account of the violets that are bloom­ ing there. The great grassy level is dotted and splotched with masses of these del­ icate flowers, whose purple masses, some' times covering many square yards in ex­ tent, illuminate every view from the windows of the railroad trains as they ply to and fro between Jamaica and the near neighborhood of Babylon. These violets are wild and almost odorless. They do not pay for the plucking, as they wither speedily, but they have un­ commonly large blossoms and are so abundant that they could furnish a bou- tonniere or a nosegay for every man, woman and child in New York and still remain abundant.--New York Sun. Flue Flavors In Trade. Commerce may be a cold blooded oc­ cupation, aa devoid of sentiment as a fish, but sometimes things happen that have a wonderfully appropriate flavor even in trade. We note in this connec­ tion the arrival of three steamships in Montreal in a single day, the first loaded with gin, the second with lemons and the third with sugar. Montreal has no kick coming, and if she can keep this sort of thing up we don't see why the United States should object to being an nexed to the Dominion.--St. Paul Pioneer Press. JOHN J.
