THE COUNT V SEAT.
ITHIIOttf.ll UK I.OIJATKU AT I, MI 1(111
TON. IVe llAvean Kseellent Hlte on Omiintl Not
1-easeH. Nit Noise nr Foul Odors but Free
and Healthy. Then Let It (Jotae Here.
For a number of years past, oif and
on this newspaper has said that the
CQUuty Seat of Carbon county should
be Lehlghton, and Just so often have
we set fortl) the why aud the where
fore for this claim. There were those
however who said that this was Im
possible aud so the matter stood. In
the meantime, however, chnnges In
counties and new counties have been
made and It now looks as If Lehlghton
had at least a fighting chance, and our
people with no exception intend to
take advantage of it
Why should it not be here ?
There. is no place so well suited as Is
Lehlghton. Excellent railroad uccom
modatatious, good hotels, aud above
all a site for the Court House that bos
no equal Iu the oouuty. Af ull square on
an eminence, located with South street
the south, North street on the north,
Third street ou the west and Second
street on the east; easy of access, with
good air, plenty of light and water and
only five minutes walk from the Lehigh
Valley station at one end of town, and
from the Jersey Central station at tbe
other end of town. Compare this with
the site uow occupied by the County
Buildings, at Mauch Chunk the
Court House is on ground that is
practically leased from the Lehigh
Coat A Navigation Company. Here t he
and will be deeded to the couuty.
There then is noise and confusion
Here, though easy.of access aud egiess,,
is a site that is free from noise, by
reason of Its distance from railroads.
There the Court House will, from ne
cessity, be located back In a hole, with
little light aud less ventilation. Here
there will be no such objections. Are
these not reasons sufficient why
Lehlghton should be the couuty
capital f Our people are satistled that
it should be left to a rote of the peo
ple at least and will abide by such a
decision.
To secure this end there was a citi
zen's meeting at the Exchange Hotel
on Saturday evening. B. J. Kuutz,
presided. Among the prominent men
present were Jos. Obert, W. E. Ash,
Joliu Obert, Philip Miller, County
Commissioner Miller, and a goodly
number of others Dr. F. 1. Smith stated
the object of the meeting. The chair
man stated that he and Commissioner
Miller had been to Allentown to see
Senator Hcnnlnger on the matter and
that the latter gentleman would advise
them by Monday what course to take.
Following this advice adjournment was
made until Wednesday evening.
The public, meeting of our citizens
In the interest of makiug Lehightou
the county seat was continued Wed
tiesday eveniug in the basement of the
Exchange Hotel. Burgess Kuutz pre
sideu aud Mr. Beldier acted at secre
tary. Following many expressions of
assistance and good will from our peo
pie the following committee ..were ap-
tioluted to report at u meeting to be
lekl at the same place on Monday eve
ning next. B. J. Kuntz, Joseph Obert,
P. J. Kistler, Val Schwartz, It. F. Hof
ford, Jesse L. Gable, A. J. Durllug and
O. A. Clauss. The meeting then ad
journed. THE INVALID 1'KNSION 1111,1..
Representative Mutchler Wants to ltediice
the Amount Appropriated.
The house Thursday, In committee of
the whole, proceeded to the consideration
of the Invalid pension bill. Mr. Mutchler,
of Pennsylvania, In charge of the bill,
state! that the approptlatlon recommended
was $ltK1,4(IO,000. It was proposed to
amend the measure so that llie amount
would be reduced tol(KI.OUO.O00. Theblll
carried about $4,000,000 In excess of the
amount that would be expended during the
present fiscal year. This was the heaviest
appropriation that hss ever been before an
American congress, Iu only three years iu
the history of tne government we.e the ex
pendilnres for a single year greater than
would be the expenditures during the next
fiscal year. The committee on appropria
tions had come tothe conclusion that there
should be a retrenchment, that a reform In
lue granting ot pensions must becln some
where, and that the time had Come when
that reform should be lnauguraled. It was
not the desire of the committee to deprive
a union soldier who was deserving of i
pension oflanv pension ke now received
i nere was notniDg in me am tnat would
take a cent from any pension that bad been
granted to a deserving soldier. The com
mittee had lecommended several amend
ments which It thought would Institute a
reform, and be thought fiemest Important
was that providing fer the trarsfer of tbe
pension bureau from the interior to the
war department. &ncn transfer would les
sen the amount of money appropriated for
pensions and would not deprive a single
deservlug soldier of the pension which be
might hereafter obtaln.The pension bureau
could not be taken out 6f tbe arena of
politics until It was put where political In
fluence did not count.
