The exhibits will be more numerous than over. —Six coaches filled with merry excursionists from Hughesville and intermediate points along the line of the W.<vN. 15. It. It. were unloaded at this place Saturday afternoon. It was a pleasant day for the outing and all parts of Laporto's streets for a time were tilled with strollers, visiting the courthouse and business places, and making themselves generaly agreeable as county seat guests. —Judge Metzgar of Lycoming Co. has launched a boomlet for a new courthouse. It is safe to assume that it will not arouse wild enthusi asm among taxpayers, as there will always be a sufficient number of patriots willing to sacrifice them selves to fill all the offices even if the courthouse is dangerous to health and life. —Logic prove- and experience will also prove the inaccuracy Dem ocratic anti-expansion views, us thoroughly as both logic and exper ience have proved the inaccuracy of the Democratic expansion views on , the currency ijuestion. Three years ago the Democrats were expansion ists, and events have since proved the utter fallacy of their theories. Now they are anti-expansionists, and time will as completely show their error in thi< particu lar instance. —"lf you see it in the Jierirw it's so." "The N KWS IT KM is a good paper."— llt cietr. Yes,it is not only a good paper, but it is the greatest power in clean politics in the county. It serves news crisp from the griddle of events. It is ever in the lead to advocate its party principles and to denounce wrong. If you like these things the NEWS ITK.M will suit you and should have your sup port. The N KWS ITK.M is for think ing people; if you don't think you don't want it. If you are a thinker or want to lie a thinker it will inter est you. We want every thinker in Sullivan county on our list. All live Republicans want the N KWS ITK.M. The dead ones don't feel the need of it. Wake UP ! .Miss Charlotte .Miller has open ed a private school in connection with .Mrs. Funston's kindergarten, at rooms in the dwelling recently remodeled from the I'rcsbyterien j church. Miss .Miller is an accom plished teacher and has taught two successful terms at this place. She will also open a night school for advanced pupils, which is among the many needs of this place, and will no doubt meet with its de served liberal support. Iler terms of tuition are exceedingly low and many of the children of the pri mary <lepartnient have already en rolled and most likel increase in number as the term advances. —Another evidence of prosperity is that the cider mills have been putin full blast, "after a year's idleness". —l)r. Murrelle,of Athens, will be at Laporte Sept. -!0, and remain till after court as guest at the Mountain House where he will en gage in the practice of dentistry. The Dr. is well and favorably known throughout this place and his excellent work speakes more for its self than words in these colums could attempt. "Our esteemed brother journalist, Chas. L. Wing, of the Laporte News Item, should remember that the man who can't take a joke should never attempt one himself. Of course Charlie prints a nice little paper,and we have no intention of depreciating its excellence. We were merly jok ing, as was our brother when he began, and there is 110 occasion for either party to become dignified over the matter."— St tHi can licrieir. When our accomplished brother journalist of the Review states that the XKWS I TEM is a nice paper and that its excellence can in 110 way be depreciated he joins facts with his wisdom and sense of humor and ends the joke by unavoidably stumbling over the NKWS ITEM'S many virtues. —No words are strong enough with which to condemn the military tribunal that 011 Saturday at Itennes rendered a verdict of guilty against Captain Alfred Dreyfus. The first trial and conviction five years ago was a travesty 011 justice, but the verdict rendered at the second trial was a crime for which there can lie 110 shadow of an excuse, and doubly disgraces the French army and France as a nation. —The jury in the case of ex-Post master Bogart of Wilkesßarre, that was tried in Willianisport last week, 011 a charge of embezzlement and opening letters, could not agree upon a verdict, and stated to the court there were ten for acquittal and only two for conviction. Seeing they were on the right course the Judge sent them out requesting a verdict, but of 110 avail. The case was then put 011 the list to be retried when called and it is believed that the case will never be retried. It was plain ly proven to be another one of those affairs where over ambitious C. S. officers wanting to score a record for themselves and for some reason or consideration join in an engagement and operated a scheme to implicate some dangerous political opponent for no other purpose but to degrade their name in some imaginary crime. Justice, in conviction, in such cases would be parallel only to the result of the famous Dreyfus ease in France. When there is nothing but circum stantial evidence offered in a case, the benefit of a doubt should not go to those that start it for some pur pose of their own. free ot Crime. There being no grist of criminal cases to be put through the mill of justice at the next session, Judge Dunham has found it his privilege to have notices served 011 the jurors who were summoned to appear at thetirst week of court, September IK, to hear criminal cases, informing them not to obey their previous or ders as there will be no court for them to take part in. It may be that people are too busy these good Republican times to commit crime, or it may be that they are too busy to make and pursue informations. It might be also that the morals of the county are improving in a won derful degree. If the present im provement shown in the last year is kept up we may soon hope to see our criminal court abandoned alto gether. We now have no practising attorney at the bar continually drum ming up petit cases, which is ever an expensive and dangerous nuisance, and this 11 my be the cause of the fallii*# off, and we believe that the morals of the county is not suff ering in tin least, while hundreds of dollars are being saived for the tax payers.
