Scrantoh ErDuess: "THE SCRANTON TRI.
BUNE yesterday attained to its third birth
day and in celebration Of the happy event
1t issued an interesting sixteen page edi-
tion, the most prominent feature Of which
is we'll written and Illustrated historical
sketch Of the paper itself. Every other
feature was also Of particular interest, and
the whole made up a number OF unusual
excellence. But what is OF far more I'M
portauce than the mere production Of
single number OF uncommon merit, IA the
fact that as an everyday newspaper,
The TRIBUNE is unexcelied in the state
outside OF the larger cities of Phil
adelphia and PittsbuIg. Editorially it is
bright, able and aggressive, its city depart
ment is superior, while geographically it
always presents neat and attractive ap-
pearance. Owing, therefore, to its positive
and certain merit it is not surprising that
even at the end Of three short years THE
TRIBUNE should have attained the heights
OF success. Its struggle for existence is
now ended and hencetorth it has before it
smooth course over which to sail, with
ever-increasingly fairer prospects in view.
The Express predicts for its morning
contemporary q brilliant future and
sincerely hopes the prophecy may be
abundantly realized"
