East Benton.
The drought is unbroken and in
credible as it may seem, corn promi
ses a bountiful yield. Oats, though
short, has the appearance of good
quality, but may not reach the aver
age in quantity. Potatoes are thought
to be a partial and probably a total
failure. Since late in May or early
in June we have only two substantial
showers, last Saturday night week ago,
and Saturday afternoon previous. Last
Saturday night heavy showers passed
around to the north, while we were
visited by only a sprinkle not sufficient
to lay the dust. In our locality the
winter crop is up to the average, but
the hay crop leaves a large vacant
space in the hay mows. At this writing
there is but little prospect for rain,
and should the drought continue for
some weeks to come, one cannot tell
what effect it will have upon the corn
crop, It would seem that the parch
ed condition of the earth would dry
up all vegetation. The weather at
times is exceedingly hot also. Streams
and springs are failing; scarcely never
have been known to be lower.
A lot of new notes of the sharpest
kind have just been printed and are

Ground has been purchased and a
church building will soon be erected
at Jamison City. ' It will be under the
discipline of the M. E. Church. The
building will be a one story frame,
costing about fifteen hundred dollars.
An effort was made upon a former oc
casion to build a church but about
that time came the failure of the
Fishingcreek Lumber Company. The
subject was then dropped until the
present. It will now be built ready
for occupancy before winter.

Why We Do Not Want Hawaii.
From the New York World.
Hawaii is of little conceivable use
to us in peace or war. In war it would
be especially difficult and costly to
prevent it from falling into the hands
of the enemy. As an outpost it would
cost much more than it can be worth
and probably it could be captured at
less expense than it could be defend
ed. Its people are naturally and posi
tively alien. There is but a small
number of foreigners and descendants
of foreigners upon whom under any
circumstances we could think of con
ferring the full privileges of citizen
ship. Its government would be a
hard problem and a cause of scandals
without end. Its Japanese and Chin
ese contract laborers, its feeble-minded
and leprous natives, we do not
want. We can protect it as much as
may be necessary for the preservation
of our business interests, but as for
annexation we want none of it.

All that honesty, experience and

Judge Williams Wrong.
The honorable members of the le
gal fraternity who had hoped that
Judge Paxon's retirement from the
state supreme bench took from that
lofty position all its bias, prejudice
and favoritism find themselves mistak
en by the extraordinary action of Judge
Henry W. Williams, of Tioga county,
in the matter of the public building
commission of Philadelphia.
When the question of the dissolution
of that commission by statute was be
fore the legislature and when at the
same time the constitutionality of the
Penrose bill was being discussed and
questioned Judge Williams wrote a
letter to Representative North of Mc
Kean county, a portion of which North
read in the house, in which the justice
said : "It would be a public calamity
to the city of Philadelphia to have the
commission removed at this time.
Quote me as emphatically as you can.',
This was an advance opinion upon a
subject that a judge having once given
could not well recall. When, therefore,
the question of the constitutionality of
the measure was raised before the
court of which he was a member it
would have been but proper for bim
to have decjined to sit on the ground
that he had already prejudiced his own
judgment. But instead of doing what
was clearly right and proper this jus
tice did sit, and his was the casting
vote which gave to tne commission the
power that the legislature had wrested
from it. The judge stuck to his opin
ion as informally expressed to Repre
sentative North.
The example is a bad one and is
certain as a precedent to do incalcula
ble injury. It is bound to weaken pub
lic respect for our highest court and to
restrain public confidence in its judg
ment, if not in its integrity. Judge
Williams should never have decided in
advance, but having once expressed
an opinion not only to influence legis
lation but to encourage an appeal to
the body of which he is a member, he
should have refused to sit in the case,
and thereby endeavored to preserve
his own good name and the integrity
of the court. J'atriot.
One word describes it-"perfection.'
We refer to De Witt's Witch Hazel
Salve, cures obstinate sores, burns,
skin diseases and is a well known cure
for piles. W. S. Rishton, Druggist.
