A compendium of opinion pieces argues that pension costs have exploded since 1776, dwarfing Europe and Britain, and criticizes corruption in the system. It notes Russell A. Alger’s resignation as secretary of war and discusses war scandals and reform momentum under McKinley. It also reports local praise for Walter B. Hill as chancellor of the State University and quotes multiple Georgia papers lauding his appointment and character.

The Atlanta Journal notes Ingersoll died yesterday and perhaps knows better now. The Macon Telegraph latches onto Alger leaving the war office, saying the American public is glad to have him out.
The column opens with a religious sermon warning against hypocrisy, comparing modern society to ancient scribes and pharisees. It then shifts to a note about Skiff the Jeweler, busy in the past week with repairs and fair trade, offering engagement rings and jewelry services. It ends with an ad-like tagline for Hood's Sarsaparilla.
A juvenile dilemma unfolds as a father presses a marriage resistance for his daughter amid talk of a cottage future while teasing romance with Mitchell.
