There may be good reasons against the
retention of the Philippines by the United
States, but Mr.. Andrew Carnegie does not
touch upon them in what the deluded anti
expansionists call his powerful letter in
the New York World. His chief argument
is that the Philippines are so far away from
the Atlantic seaboard, from New York, In
short, that American products, grain, flour,
provisions. cotton and wooden goods, iron
and steel, are practically excluded from the
new possessions because the products OF
Europe can reach there sooner. II do not
believe" says Mr.. Carnegie. with ridiculous
self-complacence, Il do not believe the
President, his secretary of state or any
member Of the Cabinet ever thought of this
fatal fact of distance" Mr.. Carnegie has
been as far west as Pittsburg, Pa, where
he spent a number of years and made his
fortune. He now v;brates between New
York and his country home in Scotland. He
knows, Of course, if he has ever examined
the map that the United States has con-
siderable territory west of Pennsylvania,
but apparently is not aware that the great
bulk of American agricultural products and
a large proportion Of the manufactures of
the country come from those Western
States. Neither does he seem to know
that tine Pacific coast has great trade, with
capacity for much more. entirely independ-
ent of the Atlantic States. The intelligent
reader of Mr.. Carnegie's letter may reason
ably conclude that the writer believes the
great American desert which was on the
map when he was a boy begins just over
the Ohio line.

Tribute of tho Court and Bar.

In the court on Monday Ex-Attorney
General Palmer arose and addressed the
court and attorneys assembled, saying:
''It becomes my painful and sad duty to
announce that an honored Judge, who
has graced this bench by his learning
and his ability, has been called to
another world. / make this announce
ment that your honor may take such
action as seems to be appropriate under
tho circumstances. Judge Bennett is
dead"
Judge Woodward said, In reply: 1.-THE
court has heard with profound sorrow of
the death of member of this bench
who has endeared himself to his COL
leagues as well as to the community of
which he was so prominent and con-
spicuous member. l say this is heavy
news to all of us. There never was a
more faithful public officer in any posi-
tion, in any state, than was Judge Ben
nett in this judicial office which he
adorned. Fidelity to duty seemed to be
the religion OF his life. No action which
the bar or the community can take in
his honor can be Inappropriate. l am
open now to receive any motion which
the members of the bar think proper in
regard to further proceedings"
On motion of Mr.. Halsey court ad-
journed out of respect to the dead Judge.
The members of the Luzerne county
bar met on Tuesday to take action on
the death of Judge Bennett There

prominent and active members OF the

dead jurist by Attorneys w. s. Mclean,
d. l.. Rhono, George Bedford, E. G.
Butler, John McGahren, George S.
Ferris, f. M. Nichols, H. A. Fuller,
Henry w. Dunning, George Urquhart
and S. ]. Strauss.

Couldn't Bribe tho Mayor.

Who would have ever thought it possi-
BILE that the mayor of a city like Allen
town would be offered bribe of pal
try $50? Yet that was the affront given
the chief magistrate of Allentown by a
liquor dealer, to whom word was sent
that he was violating the law by doing
business on Sunday, and then made
private call on Mayor Lewis, and in
departing left an envelope in which was
presumably only few cigars, but which
receptacle also contained crisp $40
bill. Mayor Lewis reprimanded the
offending liquor dealer publicly, and
said he would contribute the bribe
money to the needy poor.

Citizens Want More Light.

movement to obtain increased light
has been started by several of tho bust
ness men of town, and with this object
In view meeting was held in the bor-
ongh building on Tuesday evening.
Hugh Malloy was chosen chairman and
j. Z. Berner secretary. The chairman
delivered an interesting address upon
the light question, stating that since
the curtailment in the number of street
lamps the evening business in town has
fallen off to such an extent that mer-
chants are becoming alarmed and believe
1t Is time to make q stand for their
rights. The inability or the refusal of
the borough councilmen and the Electric
Light Company to come to terms, the
speaker maintained, is severly affecting
the welfare of the town, and he is of the
opinion that tho time has come when
the services of committee to go
between them and procure harmony and
more light can be offered without ursurp-
ing any of the powers OF the council.
Rev. j. B. Kerschner also spoke in
favor of more light, and cited the incon-
venience to which the congregation of
his church has been put by the removal
of the lamp at Chestnut and Washing
ton streets. ii. M. Breslin and others
followed In favor Of the movement.
As result OF the meeting the follow
ing citizens were named as q committee
to procure, If possible, the lowest rates
for which the Electric Light Company
will furnish light: III. M. Breslin, j. C.

JUDGE BENEFITS DEATH.
Unexpected Demise of the Junior Mem
Der of Luzsrne's Judiciary.

ooH vi uulciHrys
Judge Lyman Hakes Bennett died at
his residence in Wikesbarre at midnight
Sunday night. His death was unexpect-
ed and came as a surprise to the whole
county. For some years past the Judge
has not been in the best of health. He
suffered from bronchial trouble. He
spent the best OF the summer at Harvey's
Lake and vicinity. About two weeks
ago he returned to Wilkesbarre to
preside in court. The weather was un-
usually cold and the courthouse being
without heat was very damp. Judge
Bennett felt its effects and was compell-
ed to adjourn court and 60 home. No
alarm was felt as to his condition, as it
was thought that with careful nursing
he would recover. But disease had
shattered his constitution and he con-
tinued to grow weaker, and on Sunday
night just as the clock was about to
strike the midnight hour he passed
quietly away. He was buried yesterday.
Judge Bennett was born in Harpers-
field, Delaware county, N. Y, on Feb
ruary 10, 1s45, and was 54 years OF age.
He was OF Quaker ancestry. He worked
on his fathers farm until he reached
his twentieth year, going to school when
he could be spared from the field. He
went to Cambridge, ILL.,, in 1865, and
spent year clerking in tho Office OF the
recorder. He entered the governments
employ as clerk in the auditors Office
at Washington in 1866. Ho hold the
clerkship until 1872, when he went to
Wilkesbarre and in December of the
same year he was admitted to the Lu-
zerne bar. He had graduated from the
Columbia Law Schools, Washington, in
1870. In 1891 he was a candidate for
additional law judge, but was defeated
by Hon. John Lynch. In 1898, when
the act was passed creating an addition
al law judge for Luzerne county, Judge
Bennett was appointed to the new Office,
and in the fall Of the same year he was
elected for term Of ten years.
A number OF the prominent Rcpubli-
can attorneys of the county have been
mentioned as the proba BILE successor to
Judge Bennett. The appointment will
be made by Governor Hastings. Lower
enders favor George II. Troutman, ESQ.,,
of Hazleton.
