]. ELLIOT ROSS.

Editor OF Tile Tribune
Sir: The time is not yet beyond
memory when the question OF how to
resume specie payments was discussed
throughout the length and breadth OF
this land, and the views then ex-
pressed We're as widely different as are
the views held today in Scranton as to
this city's taking her place among
cities of the second class. "The way to
resume. is to resume said Horace
Greeley, and the nation soon disposed
of the matter in that very way.
1t would seem as il somewhat
similar epigrammatic deliverance
might be made in this second class city
matter, even though the present legis-
lation, and the very state constitution
itself, be not the most suitable swad-
ding clothes for our enfant terrible,
since amendments are not beyond the
bounds of possibility. While Pittsburg
and Scranton would both be In the
same class nominally, they would be
in far different classes practically. AL
legheny furnishes better, and very
much less formidable example of
Scranton's status as second class
city.
With all due Difference to those whose
views may differ from. mine, l can see
mo good reason to defer the advance
To second class until the end of the next
decade. The city has grown apace in
recent years, and the prospects of
growth arc good for years to come.
When we take into account how our
capitalists have discounted the future
in the buildings they have already
erected, and the investments they have
made. to say nothing of those contem-
plated. it can scarcely be considered
extremely rash to predict that bold
entrance upon the new classification
will soon demonstrate its wisdom and
advantages.
