How a Stranger is Impressed
With Scranton and Its
Surroundings.

1t may he interesting to some of
your readers to know how a stran.
ger is impressed with this little city
and its invirons. 1t is said that
first impressions are the most last
ing, and are apt to be more correct
than those subsequently made upon
the mind. This is true ii such are
made with an intelligent aud com.
prehensiye view, otherwise it is
not. | believe those made upon
my mind during Il few weeks so.
jomu here, will not be changed by
subsequent and more intimate ac-
quAintauce with the country and
people. There are some things
that contrast SO favorably with
that section of Florida tl'om which
came, that am most aSrccably
surprised. Among those the most
Stliking is the peace and order
maintained.
That II town that has a population
so large as this place should have
order without being incorporated,
is a thing worthy Of remark and
consideration. 1t shows law-abiding
spirit ON the part OF the citizens 10
he met with no where. else in my
travels. 1t is difficult in all towns
of my acnuaiutance to keep the
peace aud preserve order even with
a strong police force. To people
abroad who have read the Northern
papers, particularly the New Eng.
land papers, this does not sound
like the doings of the people of any
purt Of Mississippi. With them an
ideal Mississippian is conceived
with deadly weapon concealed in
every pocket and with murder and
arson lurking in the heart. Within
a radius of four miles, it is estima-
ted that there are four thousand
souls. No means of enforcing the
1
laws have been adopted other than
those afforded by the courts OF JUS
tice that are open alike 10 all the
people Of the State. Can New Eng
land, with all her pretentions to re
spect tor law and order, furnish an
instance like tllisf | doubt 1t, aud
question whether another example
can be found or not.
The loction of Scranton, is most
favorable to commerce, having the
advantages of coastwise, river and
railroad communication with all
the great commercial centres. Tho
only thing that surprises me is,
that a town so favorably situated
iu this and other respects, should
not he larger. The number of saw
mills in the vicinity that are driven
to their utmost capacity all the
year, is evidence sufficient of the
fact that it Is one of the best lum
ber markets in the country. The
fact that the glass, shoe and can
Mug factories are idle now, is nc
argument against the success Of
these and others that may be cs
tablished here. IL must be remem
bered that no manufacturing town
has become SO in day. With US
skilled labor in factories is difficult
to command at all times, becaus,
the South has invested so little il
factories that she has not been abl,
:. to compete with the North in offer

Speaking Of that excellent measure
which has just passed both houses Of
Congress, the New York Times truthfully
says: "a more radical and sweeping
scheme than this could hardly have
passed Congress. It is o Republican
measure. coutrivsd for the eItirpation Of
the loathsome ANGER Of polygamy. The
Democratic opponents OF tho bill land
only Democrats opposed it) invariably
began hypocritical speeches by saying;
~ will join hands with any gentleman
in this chamber in any attempt to put
down polygamy, but"-and the but in
each case was invariably an objection to
the bill which effsctually prevented the
speaker from supporting this particular
measure. It is possible that this new
law will prove as effsetual in the sup.
preston OF polygamy as its friends eI-
pect and hope, but it is a step in the
right direction and an attempt to crush
out the great and scandalous evil by
law"

The Galveston Msus, speaking OF q
constitutional defect. says: In this Re-
public II seems to be demonstrated that
an administration and q policy In con-
fiict with national sentiment. and with
out any credentials Of popular choice,
may be foisted upon the country and
maintained for years beyond the power
of constitutional radiance. Aud 1t
seems to be demonstrated. too. that this
may be done by the unanimous vote OF
an assassin, 20 that the tenure OF an un-
q~uestionably popular administration,
and the maintenance OF IN unquestion.
ably acceptable policy, may be said to
hang at any moment on the slender
thread OF the life Of single man. This
may all DO within the technical forms OF
our constitutional system, but 1t looks
dreadiully like resolving one Of the Or
eanio features OF our bosstsd government
OF the people. for the people. aud by
the people. into Q species Of dsspotism,
based upon, il not tempered BY, the
lottery Of assassination.

men Rugged each other on the street for
Joy. The young Mormons are equally

fingers in the faces Of the old heads oil

THE rAunANY BARGAIN.

The bargain which has been consum-
mated between the Stalwart wing Of the
Republican party and the Tsmmany
Democrats at Albany, by which Governor
Cornsll's henchmsn were elected to the
Offices Of the State Legislature. will not
be c~ountsnanced by the Republican
party. Already its fruits are to be seen
in Democratic success in Republican
strongholds. The majority and better
element Of the Republicans refuse to
recognize the claims on the party OF
Cornsll's candidates. tho creatures 81

Democrats in the election Of less often.
sivs candidates. The result Of the bar.
gain is . step toward the denomination
Of Cornell for Governor. gives the con.
troll Of Sing Sing prison to Tammany.
the Auburn prison to the Stalwsrts. and
the lions share OF the balance OF the
State patronage 10 divided between them.
It appears that with the Stalwarts Of
New York the maintenance Of party
honor is secondary in importance to in.
dividual gain. Republican success is at
all times desirable where fairly won. and
the party is sufficiently strong in the
State Of New York to elect its nominees
without resort to af8liation with such q
corrupt element a. the Tammany wing
OF the Democracy; but the party will not
permit its proud record to be furnished
to crafty the political ambition OF any
man. The reelection Of Alonzo B. Cor
nell to the GoTsrnorship Of New York is
not essential to the welfare OF the Re-
publican party. and is not the wish OF the
party in that State. He fully realizes
this. and the bargain with Tammany is
but the first step in q scheme to control
the State election and insure the success
Of machine manipulation. That he will
fail in his ambition is reasonably Ger.
tain, but the stigma Of corruption at
taches to the Republican party. The
whole party will have to bear the shame
which the selHshnsss Of o few has forced
upon 1t.
The result will not DO Of material in.
jury to the party; the blame will be
placed where 1t properly belongs. and in
the end 1t will be Q blessing. for the
party has awakened to a realization Of
the degrading influence Of machine
politics and will manage the conventions
hereafter. The party is sufficiently
strong to admit Of. and would be better
for, the wedding out u necessary OF men
whose ambition is personal gain. and
with whom the p%erpetuation OF Repub.
licanism and honesty in politics is OF lit
tie consideration.
