A Question of Expediency at State House Hearing
The State House hearing on the proposed constitutional amendment for biennial elections framed the issue as expediency rather than morality or rights, arguing it should be decided by a popular vote. Ex-Governor Rowinson labeled it a policy matter, with opposition mostly from labor agitators, and noted the change would curb certain opportunistic political activities.

Mr Gladstone and His Successors in Liberal Leadership
The rumor of Mr Gladstone's retirement is denied yet plausible amid talk of a Home Rule bill. With Irish divisions and uncertain Liberal fortunes, Gladstone may retire as the leadership contemplates a future without a united Irish front. His age, activity, and the strained ties with Parnell complicate any succession, leaving the path to power unclear.

Altered Beacon Street block in Boston shows mixed rooflines
In Beacon Street near the Public Garden six granite houses undergo changes to unify the skyline. The last house gains height, three keep pitched roofs, one has a low mansard, and two rise with differing facades. Critics lament inconsistent redesigns and ponder adding a shop to restore harmony. The article compares white Concord granite favorably to gray Quincy stone and questions Puritan aesthetic gloom. It then shifts to horse welfare, urging care in hiring night horses and condemning lame animals, citing a driver’s remark on cost of good horses and recounting a club-side dialogue about work and virtue with commentary on Muley and Sympton.
