THE R3PUBLICAN.
W. M. CHENEY, - - -Editor.
FUTDAY, FEBKUAKY 22, 18i»5.
A Visit Nonlh.
A. short time ago a Sullivan coun
ty man could be seen tramping down
the snow clad mountains which suis
rounded his home, on his way to the
eunny South, lie left behind him
Bomu two feet of snow on the ground,
two feet of ice on the water and a
recollection of zero weather and
chilling blasts which infused new
life into his foot steps as they crun
ched in the sparkling road bed.
The station reached in a few
hours the earth took on a different
appearance. At Harrisburg, sleigh
ing was difficult on account of seal--
city of snow in the roads. Before
York, Pa. was reached, tho south
side of the hills were bare of snow,
and long before Baltimore was reach
ed no trace of snow anywhere could
be Been. In southern Maryland,
destination, at this time, .'January
2-4 th, robins, red birds and the
belongings of gentle spiiug could be
seen on every hand. Filling in the
rivers was the order of the dav, and
making hot beds in the unfrozen
ground as well as ploughing for
spring ciops.
What an advantage these south
erners have over us in the mildness
of their climate and the great length
of time they have in which to "do
their farm work. In spite of the
low prices for many farm products,
these Maryland farmers are more
than holding their own. Close to
large city markets, with cheap labor,
a soil of unexcelled natural fertility
and a genial climate, the enterpris
ing and industrious farmer seldom
fails here. Iler encouraging sign
for the future of this old and historic
State is the growing disposition of
largo land owners "to cut up their
farms or plantations into smaller and
more workable proportions.
While sojourning here for a short
time I took a flying trip to Washing
ton. This is a popular market for
Maryland people, as well as a popu
lar place you know, Mr. Editor, for
northern people to market their ser
vices to the public in return for one
of the numerous oflicials centered
there. Business is not booming in
Washington. Trade is away off as
compared with a few years ago, and
our free trade tariff smashing Con
gressmen would not Lave far togo
if they really wanted to see some of
the fruits of their folly. Of course
your correspondent could not repress
the inclination to see Congress in
session. It was a melancholy spec- i
tncle to see the sad array of political'
corpses in the lower House. I
never saw so many dead men in one
bunch before. Let us consider Mr.
Editor, while we mourn their un
timely fate that it had to be done.
There was but one of two alterna
tives for the country last ia]] ; either
to kill the present Oougress or in
stead to be completely swamped bv
it. Let the good work goon. We
are on the right track. Let us fol
low it to the end. I did not see the
portly form of our present Repre
sentative, Mr. Wolverton. lie may
or ma}- not have been there It is a
consolation to know he will n«~.t be
there after the 4th of March and
that for the next two years jit least
this district will enjoy the unique
experiences of having a Ttepublican
Representative, who can be depend
ed upon to assist in bringing the
country out of the mess into which
incompetence has brought it. A
short stay in the gallery of the Sen
ate was full of interest. Debate
there was animated and I had the
privilege of hearing such men as
Gorman, Chandler, Piatt and Sher
man. All good, but Sherman as
usual the best. I never remember to
have heard or read anything by
Sherman which was not clear, con
cise anil sensible. What a relic of
the past Sherman is, and yet he is as
progressive as need be and far from
a fogy. He helped to make the
Republican party and the country
in a market place. His name is
associated with that of Lincoln and
the war. Hated by the silver men
we can all feel easier by having the
conservatism of John Sherman to
help hold in check the possibly ex
treme monatary measures of the "U.
S. Senate as it is now constituted.
Bidding good bye to the South in
advance to the blizzard, which I
learn left its marks where I bad vis
ited, this winter, finds me again on
the mountains waiting for Spring
and not entirely sick of this country
even if we do have to take the bitter
with tbe sweet. A. H, M.
