Correction to Wollaston salt shipment note in Tuesday Post

Mr Bryant of Wollaston corrects a tax note about a cargo of salt aboard the Austrian barque Tilde. The corrected passage states King Salt will allow fishermen salt free of duty after a bond not to sell to meat eaters, preserving salt for broth bread and peppered soup, with lawmakers warned they may share Lot's wife’s fate if challenging the tariff commission.

Prohibition's First Year Mixed in Iowa Cities and Towns

The Davenport Democrat reports that a survey of Iowa city and town officials shows mixed success for the prohibitory amendment. Saloons rose in several towns, especially with large German-American populations opposed to the law, while major towns saw little enforcement gains and higher taxes from license losses, with arrests for drunkenness remaining steady or rising in many locales.

Young voters shift reshapes party power after war era

The piece argues sectional and political biases fueled past tensions, noting a March moment where a prominent Republican overestimated the number of presidents tied to the Bloody Shirt issue. It credits rising youth independence for a peaceful revolution, as young voters moved from old traditions to Cleveland era politics and show little incentive to return to the old Republican fold.

None of These It Is You An’ I Tarian A Love Tale

A Detroit Free Press item describes a kitchen table debate about religious labels, ending with a romantic line. A separate Troy Press note recounts a grocery observer visiting a Michigan avenue store and learning a shop’s profit logic, from wrapping paper to brick-house building.
