An associated press dispatch from
Washington, in speaking Of the
withdrawal Of Sl,232.l82 in gold
from the treasury since the first Of
the month"; says:
The treasury officials have no ap-
prchcnsons OF any considerable With
drawals for export. They have aDso-
lutte confidence in the ability and de-
termination Of the syndicate to pro-
tcct the treasury, and. so far. have
seen nothing that indicates to them
purpose to withdraw their pro
lection.
TO :withdraw their projections
Is not this a humiliating statement
for the richest country in the world
to make? 1t means that the tinan-
ces of the United States is solely in
charge OF d foreign syndicate, who
have agreed to ''protcct the treas

protection is withdrawn our coun-
trv will be at the mercy Of a gang or

it in their power to carry disaster
and panics into every community, TO
break banks, paralyze industries,
throw countless thousands Of hon

Permanent Improvements.

Before the end of the season the
Northern Pacific will have spent pro-
badly 5000, 900 on improvements on
its line, replacing wooden culvcrts
and bridges with steel and stone
structures. Of which it has how more
proportionatcly that any other west
crn road 1t has always been the
policy Of this road to never replace
temporary structure with temporary
structure, but to make everything it.
built permanent. Speaking OF this
matter Yesterday one Of the leading
railroad men Of the northwest SAID:
| .:As there is no road better operated,
so there is none maintained on bet
ter principals than is the Northern
Pacific. 1t has followed the policy
Of making permanent improvements
SO long that in the next ten years it
will spend comparatively very little
and still be one Of the sOlidest roads
on the continent. Being new road,
the Great Northern will have to
/ spend in the next ten years on I'M
provcWcntS and maintenance, ac-
cOrdin9 to nv estimate. $6.OOO.o 900.
and this fact has been used as IN
argument against the proposed Great
Northern Northern Pacific deal. -

In conclusion. When lauldS put

cent below legal rates for all PRINT

able, the other papers in the county
made no kick. 1t was the lowest Dld

The only answer he ever made or
came anywhere near making to our
ortrcpcatcd assertion that he made
wrongful charges on blanks was in
the last issue, when he says:
Mr.. Faulds was inStruc ctcd that
half of a sheet II by II inches was
considered whole sheet and all
sheets were governed by that.
That is Il square acknowledgment
that the REPUBLICAN has been right
all along when it has been saying III
has been printing half sheets ant
charging the county for. whole sheets
But he now excuses that steal D.

is only troubled because he mas lost
his great ''graft."

The bid and contract Of the he
PUBLICAN for publications is 20 per
cent Of legal rates, and that is the
only place where 20 per cent is ever
mentioned. Faulds got 333 per cent,
worked in charges by "thc inch'"
and now tells people they are being
robbed. The REPUBLICAN gets 80
cents per folio Of 100 words. .Faulds
cot 50 cents per folio, and tried to
get paid for 43 inches as follos when
there we're only 1900 words or ~

the 'ring'' which is charging the
taxpayers 20 cents per folio less than
he used to. What do they think OF

for the subsequent 200, amounting
to 1854. But, see you, he charged
these blanks, which are S!x14 inches
in size, as "wholc sheets" (of fat cap
paper measuring 14x17 inches in sizc)
and put in his bill at the rate OF SIS
for the first hundred and 1926 for

one item was just $3.50 more than
his contract called for, or so per cent
more than lie had a right to charge.

We will first take up examples OF
the way Faulds has been putting IN
his bills We have, in former artl-
clcs on the subject, claimed that Mr..
Faulds had been putting in illegal
bills and collecting them, and that
he perjurcd himself in SO dong

was GG3 per cent below legal rates

1T STALLED ON THE WAY.

The Negro Had an Idea That the
Message Was Being Delayed.
At Madison gentleman wrote tele-
gram and gave it to a negro, with in
structions to hand the same to the
telegraph operator. The negro deliv-
cred it and said:
''Mr. Leak says send dis telum-
spatch off immejitly."
The operator told him he would do
SO as quick as the wires could carry it.
AS the negro was leaving he spied a
paper, which the March breezes had
gathered up and were whirling along
the wire towards pole, on which it
lodged. He watched the paper for some
time and becoming satisfied it could
not get away, went back to the Office,
called the operator and said:
BOSS, Mistah Leak am in powerful
hurry bout dat bizness.''
The operator told him the message
was already at its destination. But
that scrap of paper on the wire had
convinced the darby that the telegram
had stalled before it got out of town,
and he was determined to let it be
known.
BOSS, amt gwine to 'spute your
word, but you look on dat yOle. Dat

Rubinstein as \ Composer.

AS a composer Rubinstein had two
great faults and one great virtue. He
had wonderful gift of beautiful and
unfailing melody, but he never knew
when he became tedious, and he was
totally incapable of self-criticism. He
never went over his work: in fact, he
was altogether wanting in the neces-
sary patience for this. That which he
had written remained as first written.
and it is this failing that will spoil
his fame with posterity. It arose from
want of control in his youth, for when
a mere boy of thirteen he was left to
his own devices. Consequently he wrote
for years without direction and at a
period when it was most necessary:
therefore. he failed to learn that all
important lesson of all artists-a lesson
to be learned only in youth, and diff.
cult even then-self-criticism. His ma
ture was of itself impatient. He rushed
along, pen in hand, eager to give ut
terance to the thoughts crowding his
brain, and there was none to stop him
in his mad career. In moods of extra
ordinary exaltation, he wrote master
pieces almost without effort, exquisite
tone-poems over which the world went
mad, and he grew to believe, and tried
to convince others, that SO all great
work should be done.-Alexander Nc
Arthur in the Century.

How Mr.. Vaux Paid His Bills.

Among the eccentricities of the late
Richard VauX was his strong aversion
for the use of bank books or checks.
The famous ex-mayor had bank ac-
count, of course. In fact, he had several
of them, but he never drew upon them
in the regular way, through the medium
of checks. Whenever anyone came to
him with bill Mr.. Vaux would pay it
in a very unique way. The back of an
old envelope or fragment of paper
of any kind or size would serve for a
check, and upon this he would scribble
the amount of the bill, the name Of the
creditor and his own characteristic sig
nature. He very frequently used strip
from the margin of a newspaper. The
tellers at the banks all knew of Mr..
Vaux's strange custom, and none Of
Mr.. vaux's homemade checks were
ever turned down.

WALKING AND DYSPEPSIA.
Pedestrian Exercise tho Great Remedy
for Weak Stomach.

Pedestrian Exercise tho Great Remedy
for Weak Stomach.
"Half the dyspepsia and indigestion
and general debility from which SO
many people seem to be suffering IS
due to nothing in the world except
lack of exercise" said an old physician
with a wise shake of his head. Take
all these department clerks, for In
stance. More than half of them lose
from twenty to thirty days year OF
government time on account Of sick
ness due to these causes. 1t is not re-
markable that they should either. They
get up in the morning, hurry through
breakfast, rush out and get aboard
street car. When they reach their OIL
ces, instead of climbing upstairs they
get in the elevator and ride up. At
noon they dawdle around instead OF
taking brisk walk of ten or fifteen
minutes to expel the stale air they have
been breathing all the morning from
their lungs and cleaning them out with
the fresh article. After Office they are
listless and worn out, or feel that way,
and ride home again to eat dinner with
no appetite and lie around idly till bed
time. I tell you that everybody ought
to climb up three or four flights OF
stairs at least once a day in order to
bring important muscles into play. and
everybody, too, ought to take a brisk
walk of at least quarter Of an hour
every day with no other object than
the walk in view. There'd be more we'll
stomachs in this vicinity if they did"
