GermanY's War Treasure.

The town of Spandan, peaceful
little country place near Berlin, with
houses dirty with age and old-fash-
toned cobble-stone streets, is where
Germany's war treasure is kept and
where are stationed no inconsidera BILE
number of troops. In the center of
the outlying part of the town rises
the celebrated julius tower that in
former years has withstood many an
attack from without; it's walls are six
feet thick; the entrance is guarded by
three ponderous iron doors, and pro-
vided with no less than six locks. This
stronghold contains treasure amount
ing to no less than $30,000,0o0 in good
coin of the German empire, laid out
in numerous chests, each, containing
100000 mark pieces wrapped in thick
linen bags. An officer goes the round
inside every day and from time to time
every chest and every bag is minutely
examined and weighed.

The following from theDas-
sci Anchor confirms some
thing that has been rumored
about St. Paul recently:
II see Bob Dunn stood
right by his friend Hill. AS
state auditor he should have
seen that the land granted
the old Manitoba railroad was
on the taxlist; and had this been
done for the past five years it
would have all been tax decided
to the state, but instead of
that he engineered a sale for
Hill for $500, 900 and then re-
dated the deed so as to save
Hill the 7 five years on back
taxes. It was a generous
thing for Bob Dunn to do as
. Hill was needing money after
the way Wall Street had
touched him, still would not
it have been better if the
hired servant of the people
had attended to their interest
instead of Hill's.'

Has King for a Godfather.

For the second time since his access
sion the king has stood sponsor in per-
son for a nonroyal infant. The lucky
baby so honored was the son of Sir
Archibald and Lady Edmonston. AS
prince of Wales the king was always
willing to stand as godfather for the
children of old friends. Among the
peers who have the right to call their
sovereign godfather are Lord Castle
maine and the dukes of Marlborough

similarly privileged are more numer-

TRUTH VS.. JACOBSON AND the.
TRANSCRIPT.
The Little Falls Transcript
has given UP some of~its pre-
sumably valuable space lately
attempting to prove that
democrats who do dirty
work for. republicans, ought
to be loved by democrats for
it. In this endeavor it has
been joined by the redoubt-
able warrior known as J. J.
Jacobson, the watchdog of,the
treasury Except when his
friends are concerned), who
is known as the Sage of Elm
dale. Both have followed their
familiar plan of misrepresen-
tation and untruth concerning
matters political in which the
editor of T h e H e "a d is
interested. Perhaps they are
not to be blamed, as II h e
H e r a ! d trod severely on
them in times past, and is
very likely to do so again.
The democrat who requires
a defense from either Jake or
the Transcript, is in a very
bad way politically and other
wise. In the last county
campaign, one of the ablest
men on the democratic ticket
was defeated solely because
his opponent succeeded in
making many people believe
that the Transcript was in
terested in having this par t.
cular democrat elected. That
ought to be a lesson for
pseudo-democrats.
AS for the Sage of E1mdale,
he is an eminently virtuous
character, who sets out from
Elmda1e with firm resolutions
to save the county from the
terrible brigands who live in
Little Falls. The nearer he
gets to Little Falls the more
his courage oozes, and when
he strikes the county seat he
becomes as wax in the hands
of the eminent Fuller and the
equally eminent George La
fond-and everything goes.
After it's all over, and our
friend is on the way home,
courage gradually returns,
and when he reaches home, he
is fully persuaded that thou
sands of devils have been con-
quered. But his neighbors
do not view the matter the
same way-witness the mar
row escape from defeat four
years ago, and the crushing
defeat in 1900. when Mr.. Jac-
OLSON was requested so en-
phatically by the good people
of his town and county tostay
at home.
Having thus established the
status of Lafondson and the
Transcript, we'll consider the
appor+ionment matter.
There is difference between
democratic and republican
methods in matters of this
kind. 1t is not customary for
republican leaders to ask in
consultation men from the
country, but a.. few-two or
three-meet in card room
within easy distance of Gin
spiration''- and fix up a plan
and then Jacobson, ct al,
swallow it.

Sewer Taxes Cancelled.

The county auditor has received

or penalty. Unless the, taxes are

rapport onment. There was
no objection to this from any
one, and the county chairman.
was not a member Of the COM
mittee, though he conferred
with it. The committee was
composed of Phil. Moran,
Dennis Sheedy, Peter Burr,
E. F. Shaw, and R. S. Clarke.
The committee agreed on a
plan, four to one, and the sol
itary one said he wouldn't
care to stand against the
wishes of the party. The plan
presented was a fair and
equitable one. Regarding
the matter of Culdrum being
added to the first district,
there would have been no
great objection to, leaving it
in the Jacobson district. Poll
tically that town is not by
any means republican, but
about even. Furthermore,
the people there would prefer
to be attached to the Parker
district,as they would be sure
of better treatment than they
have got from their present
commissioner.
In 1896, when the old reap
portionment was made, Jac-
OLSON said it was unfair, but
he had to vote for it. But let
no one imagine that ideas of
fairness governed the state
ments of the Sage of Elmdale.
The trouble no doubt was
that his district wasn't
strongly enough republican,
as he needs from 500 to 1000
republican majority in a dis
trict to be safe.
The plan submitted by the
democratic committee was a
fair one. We admit that it
favored the party where pos
sible. Why shouldn't it?
That's the republican theory
when that party is in power,
and the editor of Til e
H e r a | d is guilty, if it be
a crime, of looking out for the
interests of his party. That
one county commissioner.
elected by democrats, should
assume to know more than the
rest of the party throughout
the county, is ridiculous, ard
makes one wonder what par
ticular inducements we're held
out. The future may reveal.
There is one feature of the
re-apportion ment whichwill be
of interest to the people of
Little Falls. In 1896, when
Fuller, Lafond and Rhodes
made that re-apportionment, it
was pointed out that under it
Little Falls might get better
representation on the county
board, commensurate with
the great amount of taxes
paid by the city. In 1900 the
republicans elected man
from outside the city, leaving
Commissioner Gross, a demo
crat, the only commissioner
from the city. The reap
portionment made by the re-
publicans last week fixes
things so that the country
part of Gross district will
elect commissioner in 1904.
