Reform Association and Treasury Secretary in Sugar Case Debate
The Secretary of the Treasury accuses the New York Civil Service Reform Association of injuring reform by charging him without viewing testimony. John B. Pine states the association investigated the civil service law without targeting individuals, seeking truth about alleged violations. The piece argues the secretary misinterprets the testimony and that the association acted to uncover facts, not to attack specific officials.

Pension Legislation Needs A Tribunal For Merits Of Applicants
President Cleveland declined several Senate pension bills without approval on grounds that private pension acts undermine fair law. He calls for revising general pension laws and proposes a tribunal to evaluate merits, arguing against affluent influence and urging mercy when warranted.

A Searching Test of Faith and Labor Policy
A Northern State Times opinion piece argues ironmasters may cut wages to shield American labor from European pauper labor, possibly importing Bohemians and Poles if needed. It links wage cuts to Democratic machinations and a protected Pennsylvanian workforce facing a faith test as markets show quiet prices but improving undertone.
