Let Il be Held Here.

The 25th session of the Carbon county
Teachers Institute has been an unparal-
eled success. At no time in the history
of these gatherings have the sessions and
lectures been so well attended by the peo-
pie, and without eXaggeration it is safe to
say that in no other town in the county
would this have been the case Why should
the Institute not be held here again then?
1t was held at Mauch Chunk for two con-
secutlve years, why should the same ad-
van.ale not be granted to our Institute
patronizing people ? 1t Is only fair. Again
We possess all the necessary conveniences,
viz: Excellent railroad facilities, unex-
celled hotel accommodations, spleDdidly
illuminated and comfortable opera house,
and school building with we'll apportioned
rooms for the sessions of the several Sec
tions or grades of the institute, and people
who literally patronize by their presence
he sessions both day and night. These
facts should be carefully weighed by the
teachers ere they vote ON the question OF
changing the place for holding the Insti-
tute next year; petty prejudices should not
be allowed to conflict with the welfare Of
the Institute. Remember, 110 season lee
ture tickets were disposed of here against
As at Mauch Chunk last Year-nearly three
times as many; tails should speak for itself.
Let the teachers vote once, but vote right,
and Lehighton will haye the Institute next
year--because 1t pays to hold it here.

-Wade's Fibre and Fabric says: "The
rapid building up of the Knights of Labor
organization and its equally rapid disinte-
grafton has been one of the means that ha
made men think more Of themselves. Poll
tics, so called, are on the decline in the
United States. Parties cannot make prom
ises aud not fulfill them and still exist as
they once could, and the more we educate
the workingman to do his own thinking,
regardless of creed or politics, just in that
proportion shall we lift him up where he
will be fully fitted for self-govemment and
self education"
The Journal of United Labor SAYS: All
agitation was started forty years ago look
ing to the shortening OF the honrs of labor
from twelve and fifteen per day to ten. Al
that time capital could not be brought tc
see the necessity for such reduction, and
bitterly opposed it, in some cases even to the
extent Of closiug their factories and allow
ing riot to run rampant, in the hope that
with starvation staring them in the face the
poor, blind fools who knew what was best
for themselves" would be forced to succumt
and the old order of things would still con
tinue. But, thanks to the advice of few
and the wishes of many, the fight for shorter
hours was won. And what was the result
Human happiness was increased over 80 pei
cent, the workingmen and their families
wore more cheerful faces, more men wer,
given employment and the compensation
for labor instead Of decreasing, increased
