Le hlghton tewn wants the Democratic party to hold their nominating convention this Fall In that place, and the Advocate In its last issue promises the convention a good meeting hall, plenty to cat, plenty to drink and an Increased Democratic major ity for Cleveland, Thurman, and the whole ticket. Lehlghton seems to be in dead earnest. Wcatherly Herald. Of course we possess the advantages to Insure a first- class time for tho County Democracy, and for that reason we want thorn to come boro. As stated last week our facilities cannot be disputed, so why not como here ? Rules governing the County Democracy may call for tho meeting to be held at tli6 county scat, but at the committee meeting before the convention au amendment to the rule can easily be effected. By all means let us haye the convention. A Mauch Chunk politician favors Lehlgh ton providing it u.ccts tho concurrence of the county committee. An-other sees no legitimate reason to oppose the change. From tho Democracy of Weathorly no serious objection would bo forth coming, according to a leader's view of tho matter. At Lansford many Democrats were Inter viewed and advanced no surlous objection to the contemplated change of place In holding the nominating convention. All over the county Democrats prominent, to a more or less extent, In party circles have been Intoryiewcd on the matter and have glycn favorable expiessions. Wo aro pleased to note the unanmltyof feeling In the question, It shows conclusively that the county Democracy is united and desires to have the strong hold of Democracy. Let us haye the convention.

The Knights of Kansas City will have a big labor moeting on July 4. More hands are at work In England at present than have been employed in a long time. It Is stated that soap, water and scrub bing costs the Pennsylvania It, R. (V)., f 2."0, 000 n year. Twenty-five thousand acres of coal land in DcKalb, Etowah and Marshall counties, Alnbama, will soon be developed. The girls in a New York cigarette factory went out to have a discharged girl reinstated and to put a stop to the obnox ious boss' doings, and they won. Among the new mills are these: at Win- ted. Conn., rubber; Pawlett, Vt., fertilizer; Nashua, N, II., bobbin; Columbia Falls, Me., pressed brick and terra cot la. An English syndicate will develop coal nd Iron lands near Seattle, Wash. Ter.

The Coal Trade Journal says: "Those who arc wise will make their purchases early this year, so ns not to be 'caught napping,' .is they ave been this past year or two." There are ten shoe-peg mills in the United States. They employ 300 persons. New Hampshire firm makes 40,000 bu shels per year.

The government of Finland recently ent a man tolcam the art of Persian carpet making, which those who know how to manufacture the article guard very strenu ously.

A California firm made a contract with party for lumber at $11 per 1000 feet, provided the defendant would not sell in four counties to anyone else.

The Connellsville coke legion is again mixed with a big strike. All of McClure Go's coke works are Idle. The cause is that tho company wanted to fore the em ployes to dump their wagons, to discharge several omploycs and to reduce the wages from thirty to twenty-seven cents for pit agons of coal to contain thirty-five bushels. The estimated number of ovens now idle ranges from 1330 to 1400. The laid miner to cmiie were employed at Millliu's near Bridgeport. They struck Monday morning. Young median leu make a very egregious mistake when they begin to think that tlicv do too much for their employers when they oi-k a few moments overtime to complete a small task they aro iierfonuing just at the lino the whistle blows to quit work. More young men have been kept from receiving an advance in their wages from this than from any other known cuuse. Employers watch the movements of young njf u very closely, and tho least little thing oftentimes laces them m an unfavorable light before leir employers. It is the young man who studies the interest of his employer, and in not afraid to give him a few moments, that cts the rapid advancement. He is the young man selected when .there are any favors to bo granted. I can tell in twenty minutes in any workshop the young man that is most likely to succeed in his trade. He is the last to leavo his work ami is al ways prompt in beginning it. These fellows that drop their work ut the moment are al wiiys tlie ones that tho employer Is ready to discharge when business gets a little slack. Flic young man who takes the interest of Ids work at heart, and his employer into consideration, very rarely is laid sfl'in slack lines. Think over It. In it not mi?
