The Crops.
rRostnn Adrartisnr


The latest crop reports from central Europe
received by mail are not favorable. Itappears
that good crop has been so heavily damaged
by wet weather in Bohemia, Moravia, Galicia,
Silesia, Bavaria and upper Austria that these
provinces alone will consume the whole sur
plus of Hungaria and the Dauubian principali-
ties. The deficit in Germany, Switzerland,
Holland and Belgium is thought to be about
equal to the whole surplus of Russia. France
is now thought to have produced about hun
bred million hectolitres of wheat, and conse-
quently will require slight imports, and it is
probable that the whole deficit OF France,
Spain and the United Kingdom will have to be
covered by imports from this country. OF
course Deficiencies will not be covered as here
indicated; but the point is that Europe requires
whatever of wheat, -four, corn and provisions
we have produced and do not need here. The
prices of grain throughout central Europe were
highly irregular, with general tendency to-
ward a rise.

From the Springfield Republican,
A GENEROUS ACT
That Will be Appreciated by All WHO Care
for Their Complexion and Skin.

1t is not generally known that the nervous system
has wonderful inf uence the skin, bnt this is
fact known to medical men who have given much
of their time to the study of diseases Of tn skin
No one can have clear and fair complexion I'M
mixed with blotches pimples who is very nervous
Whatever tends to healthful condition of the
nervous system always besutifes the complexion
and removes roughness and dryness of the skin.
Some skin diseases not attended by visible signs
the surface but an intolerable itching that rem
ders life miserable.
We cory the following deserving and interesting
compliment from the Tribune which says: CDR. g
W. Benson's New Remedy, SKIN CURE is received
by the public with great confidence, and it is re
garded as very generous act on the Doctors part
to make known and prepare for general use his val
liable and favorite prescription for the treatment
of skin diseases after having devoted almost his en-
tire life to the study and treatment of nervous and
skin diseases, in which he took great delight He
was for number of years Physician in charge of
the Maryland Infirmary on Dermatology and any
thing from his hands is at accepted as auhori-
ty and valuable The remedy is fully the article to
at tack the disease, both internally, through the
blood and externally, through the absorbents, and
is the only reliable and rational mode of treatment
These preparations only put up for general use
after having been used by the Doctor in his private
practice for ears with the greatest success, and
they fully merit the confidence of all classes of suf
erers from skin diseases" This is for sale by all
druggists. Two bottles internal and external treat
ment in one package. Don't be persuaded to take
any other. 1t costs one dollar.

The Fall

The necessity of energetic action cannot
be too strongly impressed upon the Republi-
cans of Maine. We ought to d, more than
elect our candidates, State an National, by
small majority The figure of that ma
jorlty ought to reach high into the thou
sands; and will if Republicans properly ex-
ert themselves. The anticipation obtains
with US that as we are sure of victory, it is
not worth while to attempt to distance the
competitor in the race. So we jog along,
trusting to our record for success. The COM
petitor has not that confidence, but cherish
es lively hope, and is straining every mus
Gle to win. If we wish to lead him by more

pace. Let us strike into winning gait at

LEWISTON journal: The Bangor Com
mercial publishes table of the appropria-
lions by Congress for the fiscal years ending
June 80, 1882, and June 80, 1888, which
places the appropriations for the latter year
al 1924, 513, 439. The difficulty with these
figures is they include S29,oeO,000 defcien-
cies for the previous year, as they show on
their face. Deduct the $29,000,000 frsm the
figures for the present year, and the appro-
priations are cut down to $3.50, ,439,
which is very near the actual sum, against
$219, 1851, 1888 for last year-an increase OF
about $46,00O,O0O. OF this increase, 1884,
100000 is for pensions, 81, 742, 43o for addi-
tional pension clerks, etc., to expedite
claims, and ST, 1902, SIS for rivers and harbors,
leaving the increase for all other purposes
only So, 476, 1906. AS thu $7,3O2,575 increase
for rivers and harbors was opposed by all
the Maine Republican delegation, and might
have been defeated with the aid of the votes
of Ladd and Murch, it requires extreme
hardihood to charge it to the Republican &C

A RECENT issue of the London Times
contains report of suit brought against
municipal corporation to recover damages
for injuries caused by drinking impure wa
ter. The suit was brought at Leeds, Eng
land, and the defendant was the corpora
ton of Huddersfeld which the complaint
alleged had failed to discharge the common
law duty to supply water that was fit for
consumption. 1t appeared in evidence that
the water in the mains was wholesome, but
was passed into the plaintiffs premises
through leaden service pipes paid for by the
plaintiff, but laid down by the corporation.
1t was hardly disputed that this water by
the time it reached the plaintiff was more or
less impregnated with lead, and that the
plaintiff in consequence had suffered seri-
ously from lead poisoning. The corpora
ton claimed that it was only responsible for
the condition of the water in the mains,
and that was proved to be sweet and pure.
The jury returned verdict for the plaintiff
for $4,000, subject to the opinion OF the
Court in bank on the question of the corpor-
atoms liability for the condition OF the
water in the separate service pipes.
