Tbe Welissort Bridge.
The Grand Jury has already elven Its of
ficial approval of the proposition to put up
a new and mora substantial bridge across
the Lehigh at Weissport, and It only re
mains for final approval of the Court to
authorize the Commissioners to go ahead.
It will be a matter of considerable expense
to the county. Should the bridge be locat
ed as now, It would bo nscessary first to
erect a temporary structure to boused by
the public until the new ono Is completed.
But to make a sood lob of It. the locution
must be changed so as to avoid the sharp
corner at the Lehlghton end. The course
should be In a line with the main street In
Welsiport direct ncross to a point nearly or
in line witn me street from the .benign
Valley station up to the main street, l'rou
ably a change of location, as suggested and
under consideration would cost nearly or
quite 310,000 more than placing It on the
old piers, which would, on the other band,
necessitate the unavoidable expense of the.
ine temporary bridge. All considered, we
betieve a new bridge with change of loca
tion would be by far the best, most expedi
ent and that It would meet the general ap
proval of the taxpayers. Let It be remem
bered that In point of Importance It Is sec

The above is in substance and fact what

nrticlo from the .Democrat to show that
public opinion calls for tho erection-of

It strikes us very forcibly that In view of th
fact that tho bridge in question being one
ot tbe most Important In the county the
Commissioners should not fall to approve of
tbe report prcsontcd and confirmed by the
Court. Tbe new bridge is an absolute
necessity and tbe cbangn of location will be

County Politics.
Politics a year and two years hence as
seer, through tho spectacles of a Mauch.!
Chunk correspondent to the Lansford
Record:
"Now that tbe election Is over this town
is as quiet as a country churchyard. Still,
you hear faint whispers abont n?xt year
and the year after. Next fall the offices of
District Attorney and Associate Judge are
to be filled. On the Democratic side the
District Attomeyshln Is conceded to J. S.
Fisher, of East Mauch Chunk, who by the
way, will make an excellent official. His
opponent will be cither Klefcr, Heydt or
Gilliam. The Republican Judgeship nomi
nation Is conceded to W. H. Stroh, by vlr-:
tue of his appointment.
"Two years hence will 1ms a lively cam-i
paign. The offices to filled will bo Judge'
Legislature, County Treasurer, Register
and Recorder and County Commissioners.
"For the Judgeship, Judge Drelier and
District Attorney Rapshcr will be candi
dates: and who knows but that Hon.
Allen Craig may hncklc on his armor for
the combat.
"As Ed. Mulhoarn has stated that he
will not again ask his Democratic friends
to cut their ticket, or In other words, ttiat
bo will not endanger his health by going
Into a hard canvass, It may be i pretty fight
between two new men for tho Legislative
honor.
"Thcie Is no denj Ing the fact that James
Handwerk Is laying his ropes for a fourth
term. This fight may be between tbe same
contestants as last year Lenta and.Hand-
werk. In that fight Lenta was beaten
principally through the opposition of Dr.
Ki-amer, who believed himself deceived by
Lcntz at the nomination, in not getting the
Mauch Chunk delegation. For this Lenlz
was not to blame, for the reason that Geo.
Dolan's friends made It nlah impossible to
(.'eliyer them against him. To deliver this
delegation for Kramer Lentz would have
endangered bis own chances. Handwerk's
majority after all was but 12(1, and that with
a Labor tlcket In tho field.
"For Treasurer it will be a free-for-all
race on both sides. As it is the best office
In the county, wo know a dozen good men
who arc willing to take their chances of
election. On the Republican side: AYin.
Kane and AYm. Thompson of Upper Mauch
Chunk ; Nathan Tanner, of Lansford ; Harry
Bower, of Lehlghton. and others will trust
their chances to Democratic liberality In
Itbe way of "stickers." AVlthin the Demo-
'cratlc bosoms of those who fell outside the
breastworks last year, these lingers dreams
of handling the county finances. And who
knows but that AYcalhcrly may present Its
energetic candidate of scferal fights, In tho
person of E. P. AYilllams, now that he has
become "an oft'cnslvo partisan" through
Cleveland's defeat.
"The present Commissioners may succeed
in being nominated, and they may not. It
all depends upon how they stand with the
party workers. If Hawk is again the
minority nomlneehls chanpes for election
are good."
