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 development of tho woollen In

Scyfert's rolling mills at Naomi and

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

In comparing the wages now and two

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.
