Mention has previously been made
Of the great Waterways Convention
to be held at Vicksburg, Mississippi,
on October 22nd and 23rd. Captain l..
L. Belt, OF scranton, who is a member
Of the executive committee, will at
tend. In a personal letter just received
by him from the Chairman of that
committee, a cordial invitation is cx-
tended to such Of our citizens as DE-
sire to be there. Considering the pro-
bablc ~far-reaching effects of this con
venti0n: also remembering the wide
influence OF its delegates in the halls
of our national congress, the Gull
Coast should be represented by all
means. In the matter Of securing ap-
preparations for deep water we our
selves have something to ashland
expect, at Washington, and the
good cause may secure powerful
friends by our manifesting an interest
in the movements of the convention.
Hon. w. NJ. Denny, our congress
man has expressed his intention to be
present. 1t is also hoped that Hon.
E. j. Bowers, State Senator, will be
able to attend.

WHAT SCRANTON WANTS.

The crying need Of this town to-day
the want TO which all Others are
subservient is public spirit. We have
plenty of il in the rough, as II were,
but are sadly deficient in that essen
tial quality ycIept leadership. IL
lamcntable fact that in the march OF
progress, we occupy a conspicuous
post at the rear Of the procession. IL
is folly to hide our heads. ostrichiike'

s~elf-deluded in the belief that We are
doing "well enough" Strangers visit

the lack Of appreciation displayed By
the community, undertaking. the
splendid advantages Offered by our
location-the wealth Of the forests

parts of the world. aud so on down the
list. Only organized effort is necessary
To effect a change that would place us
among the prosperous small towns OF
the country. Our merchants and bust
ness men generally have an enviable
record for rectitude and commercial
honor. but up to this time the doctrine
Of every man for himself seems Il
have held full sway. All this must be
changed if we would be in the front

the immediate formation Of a "busi

| voted in the primary election on
July 9th against Mr.. j. j. Cunning
ham as constable, as I preferred
another man, but Mr.. Cunningham
was nominated as Democratic candi-
date.
A few days ago a petition was pre-
sented to me, and | signed it, asking
Mr.. Charles Jones to be a candidate
against Mr.. Cunningham in the No
vember election.
l have since been told that this ac-
ton Of mine supporting an indcpend-
ent candidate, would be just and legal
cause for the Democratic party, in
any future election, to refuse to allow
me TO take part in their primaries or
conventions.
l do not wish to he so situated, and
write to ask your opinion, which
please give through your paper, as
many Others M doubt are in my fix.
ONE WHO WANTS TO DO RIGHT.
ANswER.-There is no question but
that your action would be just cause
for refusing to allow you to take part
In future elections as you have of your
own accord deserted your party. And
while the party may forget or overlook
a mere signing Of a petition, yet they
cannot overlook or excuse the party
becoming such q candidate, or one
who actively circulates or solicits
signcrs to the petition. s

When | saw the little paragraph in
last weeks DEMOCRAT-STAR intimat-
ing that an independent candidate
would be brought out against the reg
ular nominee for constable in this
beat, | thought your reporter had
slandered our people. but now learn
that it is a fact that Mr.. Robt. Lougl-
ridge. who went into the primary
election and thereby gave his Demo-
cratic pledge to stand by and support
the nominee. has been circulating a
petition Of some sort preparatory To
running Mr.. Charles Jones against
Mr.. Cunningham simply because Mr..
Cunningham arrested some Of his
friends for crap shouting or other out
lawry. Mr.. Jones was himself Il can
didate before the primary election,
and only came down IA short while
before the election, as | am informed.
| also learn that this petition was left
in the Office or store Of one Of our lead

LET SCRANTON BE THE EASTERN
TERMINUS OF THE COAST
TRAIN.

The present seems an opp0rtune
time for Scranton tn make Friends
so to speak, with the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad management. The
recent destruction by fire OF the
round-holise at Ocean Springs may
make it possible for u, by showing
the proper spirit, To secure the new
one. which must be erected some
where. Ii goes without saying that
railroads are the great civilizers, and
b~uilders-up Of every business com
munity, and its a short-sighted policy
to be at variance with them. Corpora
tions are only human, and recognizing
the fact that this town, or some OF its
prominent people. have sometimes
acted inimical tn the road, We are not
disposed to blame the latter too
severely for viewing our oyerturcs
with suspicion. Surely our interest
and the railroads are identical, and it
is the part Of wisdom for Scranton to
encourage that company in every
legitimate way. 1t would be impDs-
sible to oyeI-cstimate the advantages
accruing to this town through an ar
rangement extending the run" Of the
coast train hence. 1t would increase
our population, add largely to the
travel city-wards. put Us more in
touch with the outward world, and
benefit Us in ways innumerable. Every
| respectable suburban town in the
North has its accommodation train
enabling the residents to pass to and
fro with the minimum Of expense and
loss Of time. We cannot doubt that q
really earnest and unanimous appea'
to the railroad management, il made
at once, would induce them to builC
the round-house and turn-table here
and make this place the Easter
terminus OF the coast.train run. W
cannot be too liberal in this matter
or act too promptly, and we submit
the suggestion in the sincere hop
that all interested will take it I
heart and act accordingly.
