lies a mighty treasure OF coined gold,
equivalent in value to six millions
ofpoends sterling laid aside fromGer
many's gains by the 1901 war as .
provision of hard cash whereHith
to defray the mobilization and other
preliminary expenses Of the next
campaign undertaken by the empire.
This enormous reserve found is alb
solutely unprodsctive, and may be
said to have cost the German nation
half its total amount In foregone In
terest since it was first lodged in its
subterranean repository. Actually in
the custody of the Military Cover

point of view, confided to the guar

Debt Commission, two members Of
which are annually entrusted with
the keys of it's dungeon, and subject
the millions to a vigorous inspection.
This week the yearly revision" of
the Imperial War Treasure" will
take place with all customary for

arriving at Spandau, will find sec

them, specially told off to assist them
in thelaboriouN task of counting over
the contents of 1.200 canvas bags,
each containing 100000 marks.or e5,-

the dark domicile of all this wealth
can only be opened by the simulta-
neous action of two keys, master
pieces of the locksmith's art. one of
which is in the possession of either
Commissioner. The exact times at
which the door is unlocked and re-
locked, as we'll as every circum-

with the process of revision, are
registered on the foot in a procotol,

before leaving the fortress, and
attested by the ! Governor in person.
During the inspection the Tower

and when he left he carried away with
him the highest esteem of all who had
become acquainted with him. He
was a faithful representative, and
while keenly alive to the wishes Of his
constituents he also looked well to far
thering the interests of the whole reo-
pie. He did good work and earned Il
proud record. In saying this we echo
the opinion Of those who labored with
him for sixty days in assisting to enact

Railroad to Lewiston.

Vice-president Oakes has published a
circular naming the several routes of
the 0. r. Il N. Company, and the dis
tances of each. Among them, as we
last week suggested he gives the Pa
taha and Lewiston route of &C miles
as located and work about to com
menee. The Pomeroy and Pataha
city papers speak of the immediate
building of this road as a fixed fact.
A private letter from gentleman a.
work for the company near Grange
City of date March 5h to a gentleman
in this city says that they have received
orders to 90 to work on the Tucannon
branch, which leads up the Pataha so
soon as they had finished at Grange
City but that these orders have been coun-
termanded and men ordered below and
to 90 to the mountains for trestlc tim.
Der for the Snake river bridge As
we have been informed the company
have e acted bonus of $4,000 from
each of theplaces, Pomeroy and Pataha
City, to induce them to construct the
road as far as Pataha City this season
in time to carry off the wheat crop of
the coming season. The Pomcroy pa
per says the $4,000 will be raised there
and says the road will I've in operation
as far as Patah1 City in time to remove
crops CT the coming Fall The Patahs
City paper says that $4,000 have al
ready been raised there and is conf
dent that the balance will be fortl
coming. 1t is probable that the com
pany having exacted this bonus, have
ordered delay of work on this route
till the whole bonus has been secured
If this he SO, then the prospect is fa
that the road will be pushed in thi
direction the coming season. Tn
writer from Grange City says Lewiston
will be reached before either Moscov
or Genesee, and that the track to Col
fax will not be laid this year. How
much he may know about the rea
prospects we cannot tell but we mus
abide our time. Lewiston is boun,

the future in the way of increase of

Strained Censorship w Without Point

In the last issue of tn. Neecs, the
editor assumes u censorship over the
TELLER with evident aim TO begei pre-
judice among the people Of Lewiston
The article written by us with the pa-
tent design only to point out the
causes of whatever of physical, and
consequent mental inertness there
might exist among us, so that said
causes might be removed, is greatly
perverted by this new censor, in his
taking several disconnected words ard
making an application of them to our
citizens generally in manner to reflect
upon them, when the article itself will
bear no such construction. The arti-
Gle alluded to, may be found on the
outside of our issue of March 3, en-
titled "Where the Trouble Lies" and
reflects credit where credit is due, and
condemns only that which is net cled-
liable, which we claim to be the true
province of correct journalism, though
the facts stated ma, discom'pode a
few. But the censor says, "fhe late win
ter phenominal for it's severity was the
exceptional exception and our people
have emerged therefrom in the best
of health, and were never more ener-
setic that at the present spring time. s"
The above is not true in this place
This Winter has not been "phenomi-
nal for it's severity" The lowest reg
ister of the thermometer has been 6
above @, while in other Winners it has
registered % and 80 below Q, bat the
present Winter has been protracted.
Again the cases Of sickness and deaf h
among eus for the past few months
have been more than usual and pro
duccd from malaria Influences, and
it was simply to ,epel the cause Of this
malaria that our article had its origin.
He says we have but ? practising ply
sicians for population Of 900 Now
the facts are that We have had five
resident practising physicians in the
city, and one from the Garrison who
/
has regularly visited patients in this
city, while the late census of cur pop,
ulation only shows little over 700
Again "A large portion OF our popula
tion are complaining more or less OF
malarious disorders, pointing 10 thefact
that exertion should be made to re
move the causes of malaria that exist
among us If our censor could not
comprehend the force anl object 0i

rHE PREsIpEn1,s CONDITION.

The condition OF the President as re-
ported in the official bulletins this morn.
ing bears out the belief We expressed
yesterday, that the prevailing despair in
regards his case was without substan.
tial foundation.
We do not wish to convey the imp res
sion that tie condition OF the President
is not one OF great gravity and danger
but at the same time We believe it too
soon to despair OF his recovery. he mas
not reached that point yet.
l. II he passes tomorrow and Monday
safely without any radical change for the
worse, we will feel greatly encouraged
with his prospects The crises in his
case seem TO recur on each Sunday. we
believe this is no exceptional fact IN
cases of severe sickness. Statistics show
that more persons die on Sunday than
on any other DAY OF the week. we DO
not pretend to account for the TACT, and
We have never heard any expla
nation OF it, but any one. who will Oh
serve the mortality reports OF the great
cities where the deaths for each day OF
the week are given, will find that it is
the CASE, almost without exception, that
Sunday records the largest number.
We shall look forward to the next two
days as probably bringing the turning
point in the Presidents case when there
will be very marked symptoms for bet
ter or worse.

THE PRESIDENTS PHYSICIANS.

THE PRESIDENTS PHYSICIANS.
The continuous growl about the sur
geons in attsndanc' upon the President
not giving the public satisfactory iufor-
nation about his condition, and the
charge that they are endeayoring to con-
eeal it and deceiy. the public, appear to
US to be very great folly.
What possible n olive ties, intelli-
gent men could have in making the pub
lie bell,v- that the President is going
to live ii they thought he would die, or
that he is going to die if they thought
he would recover, passes our eompre'
henson.
What the physicians have cone and
are doing is to give the public, three
times each day, the data upon which
they themselves estimate his condition,
viz, the state OF the pulse, temperature
and bis respiration, leaving the intelh-
gent public to form its own conclusions
from this information. II there are any
other important symptoms not indica-
ted by the pulse or temperature, these
are also briefly set forth in the bulletins
The fact is that the public is com.
planning that the bulletins issued by the
physicians do not contain such specula-
tons as "He will recover" and "No
cause for alarm" and "He cannot live,
and we predict that his heath will oc,ur
on such cay, &C., &C."
A thinkin; people will lowev,r be
grateful to the physicians that they have
endeavor,d to avoid anything senss-
tiona'. They RECOGNIZES that it would
not Comport with high professional
character to be sending out speculatlors
each day which they are wholly unable
in the nature OF things, to say they will
not have to take back, modify, or explain
the next dsy after they are promulgst-
ed. They are not the possessors or prac-
titioners of an exact science upon which
they can predlcate exact resulIs' 4ne
hast they can 90 is to anticipate prob
able results from present conditions il
3 thousand and one contingencies do
not arise to alter those conditions.
The Presidents physicians have been
cheerful, hopeful, and inclining at times
to confidence in the recovery OF their
patient. How much better this spirit
than one Of despair, timiGity and gloom,
even were they to believe the chances
against them. II the President RECEIVERS
they will not need any apology for their
conduct OF the case. Even the GROWERS
will suecumb. But if he dies how many

IT is curious how completely the
original wound has dropped out of sight
as an element of dsnger. Sometimes the
official bulletins make no allusion to it
whatever, and when they do mention it,
it is simply to repeat the stereotyped
formula that the healing process is 60
ing on as rapidly as possible, and that
no complications in this quarter are fear
ed or expected.
