LAUER FOR CONGRESS.

Notwithstanding the ruling of the
Dauphin county court, declaring
L. H. Barber the nominee of the
Democratic party for Congress in
the Sth district, Mr.. Lauer, who was
twice robbed of it by Mutchler's
political prostitutes in Carbon
county, will make fight for the Of
flee, believing that there are enough
Democratic voters in the district
who will repudiate Boss Mutchler.
The methods employed by l.. H..
Barber's managers in Carbon county
we're the methods of the boodler and
political thief and certainly put
the Barber men within the shadow
of the penitentiary, where they may
yet get. We have every reason to
believe that Barber was aware of
the tactics of his managers, and is
therefore no better than the kidnap-
pers back of him.
Mr.. Lauer owes it to the Demo
cracy of the district to make this
fight in order to rid the party OF
Mutchlerism,- ,-Lansford Record.

ANNuA1 COUNTY INSTITUTE.

The Annual County Teachers In
stitute, which will be held in the
Court House next week, Oct. 81
Nov. 4, promises to be an unusually
interestin convention. The actual
work of the Institute will begin at
2 p M. Monday. In addition to the
regular day instruction, arrange
ments have been made for four
evening lectures On Monday even
ing Prof E. L. Kemp, Vice Princi
pal of East Stroudsburg Normal,
lectures on "The Chivalry of the
Twentieth Century" or, "Who are
the Big Bugs?" The evening ses-
sion will open with singing by the
pupils of the Milford High School,
and, perhaps, with selections by the
Choral Union.
Tuesday evening Prof. Jno. G.
Willis, of Bowling Green, KY, will
talk on "Character in History"
On Wednesday evening, Deputy
Supt. of Public Instruction, Hon.
Henry Houck, will lecture on "Old
Land Marks"
Thursday evening the subject
will be Elements of Success, the
lecturer being Prof. Geo. p. Bible,
Principal of East Stroudsburg Nor
NAL. Part of The programme for
that evening will consist of readings,
recitations, etc, by Prof Bible, and
of singing by Mrs. Bible and Miss
Mary Bradley, Musical Director OF
tbt E. Stroudsburg Normal. 1t is
expected that the Choral Union of
Milford will assist in the musical
part of the programme for the
evening sessions. Other musical
arrangements have been made and
will be announced in Institute.
The evening sessions of the In
stitute will be especially interesting
to the public, and since benefits ar,
to be derived in many ways by
these sessions, the public will b'
asked to contribute a share of The
expense.

ATTEND INSTITUTE.

The list of instructors for the
Teachers Institute next week con-
tains the names of we'll known and
very popular takers Dept. Supt.
Houck and Prof Bible. Their ect-
ures are interposed with bits of
humor which relieve the mora sober
presentations of hard facts. Both
are very entertaining takers and
the opportunity is afforded to hear
them next week.
We have no doubt the people of
Milford will show by their atten-
dance how fully they appreciate the
good things of the Institute. The
music, too, promises to be an es-
pecially attractive feature. The
Milford Choral Union will take
part, and the highly cultivated
voices of Miss Bradley and Mrs.
Bible will also he heard. Seldom
do our people have such oppor-
tunities and it naturally follows
that they will embrace the occasion
to be both entertained and instruct
ed.

KESSLERISM.

Can any Democrat, beyond the
fact that Kessler calls himself one,
give n single reason why he should
be reelected? He has shown him
self incompetent, neglectful, and Il
positive detriment to the interests
of his people. Not one act or vote
can be pointed to as evidence of his
fitness to represent this county in
the Legislature. Will the people be
so blind, and utterly regardless of
what most concerns them as to COM
mend such culpable inefficiency
1t what the PRESS says is not true
in every particular, why is it not
disputed? Ample opportunity has
been afforded the charges were not
made on the eve of election, but
time has elapsed for his vindication
1t has not beer even attempted, and
not one word has been said in ex-
planation or eXtenuation of his
course. He therefore stands con-
victed. Will the people be so OBJ
llvi0us as to follow a blind lead and
vote an empty name? We do not
believe It.

THE STATE LANDS.

EtDlHOn hEoo -
Your issues of the last several
weeks have called public attention,
and 1 think not vainly to the fact
that the State of Pennsylvania is
again through its agents impairing
the amount of taxable property in
Pike Co. by purchasing sections of
wild lands offered at Commits sioners'
sale, and by the Treasurer for non
payment of taxes, aud exempting
the same from all county and local
taxes and assessment. This, as you
have very justly remarked, and
clearly shown, adds to the burden
of the local taxpayer, just so much
as has been or may in future be ex-
empted. But does il not add an in
definite amount more? The tres
pIssers will be arraigned in our
courts, and, if convicted, will hnvo
to be maintained by local taxes
jurors must be paid, and the whole
expense of the machinery of justice
will fall on the County. Roads and
bridges will have to be built AMI
maintained for the States accom-
modltion, and the children, if any,
of the keepers of these reservations
will share the local privileges of ed
ucation. All these expenses mast
be added to the amount which the
Common wealth abstracts from our
County without compensation.
Should it not be enough for the
State to absorb the s 10000 an
nually paid by the Erie r. R. cor
poration for running through Pike
County, and exempting its prop
erty from local taxation, while all
burdens and expenses of the suits
which arise from it are paid by us?
That company has also been releas
ed from its obligation to build and
maintain a bridge across the river
at Matamoras, and heavy tolls are
exacted from us by reason of that
fact.
The Delaware and Hudson Canal
Co. is practically free from taxation
in short the State enjoys all the
benefits of the taxes paid by these
corporations and the county suffers
all the expense and inconvenience
This should be ample for the State
without further curtailing the tax.
able property of this already impov.
erished county for her benefit and
without any compensation what
aver. We hope aud trust the voters
this year will awaken to their duty
to themselves and their children
and elect such representatives, re-
gardless of political prejudices, as
will at least make an effort to pro
tect their interests. Pike County
