The Water Qoestton. Written notices are postid up conspicu ously In various parts of our'boroilgh call ing for a special election, to be held At the Carbon House on Saturday, tho 23rd day of July, for the purpose of deciding the water Issue. The Imperative necessity of Lehighton having a first-class water supply Is evident to all our citizens, but at tho samo time It would not be In good taste or In a spirit of general good for the tax-payers to net thoughtlessly and Indiscriminate ly In this all-Important matter. Wo must have water, the growing necessities of our borough demand this, but Is It, or would It bo wise for a water supply to be put, In at the expense of the "town? We belleye It would not be wise, and having felt the pub lic pulse on the matter arc convinced that tho Issue will be defeated nt the polls'. A little more than twelyo years ago a public school house was erected $45,000 was recklessly squandered tho tax-payers wero disgusted to a man, and for that reason- fearing that by placing too much power In the hands of tho borough council would lead to Indiscriminate expense and greatly Increased taxation they will on July 23rd voto against the bouutgh water Issue. In voting against the watir issue they will be actuated by a spirit of self-interest superin duced by the unpleasant and unwise ac tion of the school board twelvo ct more years ago. Wo must have water, but let a slock compauy bring It Inj for, as we understand the present Issue, it would not only be un wise but foolish In the extreme for the tax payers to Indiscriminately grant the power of putting In a water supply at tho borough dictation. Water wo must and will have! but the right Individuals must bo at the head of tho matter the borough authorities are not tho Individuals howeyer, so It Is safe to say that for the present we will not bavo water.

The necessary papers for the erection of the silk mill were drawn up and signed by the contracting parties last FrIJay, ss that on the first of January, 1888, Weath eily can boast of a silk mill.

Spolally Compiled for the Tollers by an Ad vocato Man. Tho I.ehlgh Zno nnd Iron Company will pay their employes semi-monthly after July Will. The Underbill Hat Manufacturing Company of Hazltton has been chartered with a capital of $40,000. The railroads of this country own abobt 800,000 freight cars used In revenue service, which icprosents capital to tho amount of at least $400,000,000, About 290 pounds of Iron and steel are made for every head of population in Great Britain, 270 In the United States and 107 In Europe, while the aveiago for the entire globe is 32 pounds. The Edwards Iron Cempany, Wood' stock, Ala., Is engaged In repairing ami en. largtng Its blast futnaccand building 100 coko ovens. It will mine and coke Us own coal and mako pig Iron. Boston capitalists lrave bought five acres of ground In Scranton as a site, for a merchant steel and steel tool factory, and work at the buildings is to begin at ence. The establishment will empley 400 men, There are at this time three hundred and clglity-ftye silk factories In the United Stales, with 0,000 employees and upward of $25,000,000 of capital, using annually S20,000,000 worth of raw material of for- elgu production. Tho Iowa Barb Wire Mill, at Allen town now employs four hundred men, and Its product of full-finished barbed fencing averages fifty-five tons per day. The -vlre Is shipped to all parts of the world, Includ Ing South Africa, the Sandwich Island Austria and Now Zealand. There are contracts out among the car works for 40,000 cars. Nearly all the rail road companies hayo arrangements under way for Increasing their shop facilities, The Pennsylvania Railroad will lead off with a $50,000 machine and repair shop. Machine shop work Is In very active de mand. Car shops all orer this State are now well supplied with orders, and expect to be kept so during the rest of the year. The shop3 nt Huntingdon will be put In opera tlon early next month with an order for three thousand coal cars of a new design which are Intended for the Beading Kail' road Company. The development of tho woollen In dustry In Wisconsin and Iowa and the cotton Industry In Texas, Arkansas and and further West, mecially In view of coal and natural gas developments, Is assuming an Important phase, and the time may soon como when the far West and farSouth will not be quito so dependent on the far East for textile goods. Scyfert's rolling mills at Naomi and Glbraltur, Berks, county, have closed on account ot the stoppage nt the Beading Iron Works, and nearly two hundred more men are out of employment In consequence. Because tho rolling mill and nail factory employees of the E.'it O. Brookolron Com pany, at Blrdsbow refuse to occept-a reduc tion of wages, the works are closed and oyer three hundred hands are Idle. The anthracite coal trado is now In ex cellent shape, awaiting the beginning of active business. There Is, to be sine, considerable quantity of coal in stock at tide-water shipping points, but, owing to tho harmony prevailing in anthracite cir cles, that cannot to any great extent In fluence the ccal markets or effect prices, as & week's suspension of missing would re sult In the removal of the entile neeuinula tlon of coal at timii. Some of the larger companies did not work their mines full time last week. In comparing the wages now and two years' ago Bradstreal's finds thai they have generally Increased to ills standard of the years 1681 and 1832, which wero veiy pros perous periods, and 400,000 moro Industrial euployees were at work than there wero In 1685. From 1S82 to 18S5 tliero was a gen cral decline in tho rate of wages, the aver ago being from 10 to 15 percent., aud since the latter year there has been a gradual Increase, until now not only has the 15 per ceut. reduction been recovered but the activity in almost eyery branch of trade has given employment to hundreds of thousand: of additional workmen. Official returns show that tho produc tion of anthracite coal In Pennsylvania last year was 30,000,475 tone, against 31,. 023,520 tons in 1885. Under tho Kevcnue law that was repealed In 1870, aud which Imposed a tax of 3 eonts a ton on tho pro duct of the anthracite coal companies, the yeild of last year would havo brought Into the State Treasury upward of $1,000,000. I his tux on anthracite coal if In existence to-day would havo gone very far toward solving tho problem of State revenues, Tho coal corporations, which merely col lectcd the small tax from consumers as agents of the Commonwealth, did not ask for its repeal, and it Is not likely that they would make very obstinate resistance to'Jts restoration. The "7onrth" in Lehighton. The Fourth of July was patriotically ob served by Lchrghtonlans, From twelve o'clock Sunday night until Tuesday morn ing the roar and dm of fire crackers, lorpe. does and the drum corp filled Hie air with their deafening echoes.
