Post and Bavarian Crisis Reflections on Politics and Leadership

The article reflects on the Gaston Post's new leadership, its press responsibilities, and the need for honest, nonpartisan reporting. It discusses Bavarian royal finances and potential regency intrigues, then commends President Cleveland and analyzes reform efforts, party loyalty, and public trust amid political changes.

Outlook for Home Rule Remains Unfavorable in Parliament

London correspondents largely agree the outlook for home rule is bleak with Gladstone and Chamberlain sharing responsibility for possible defeat. Defection by Chamberlain reduces hopes the bill will pass the House, making its fate uncertain and pushing Gladstone toward either coalition opposition or dissolving Parliament to appeal to the country.

Lawful caps on gas bills eyed for New York City

Field's Case and Bond Sale Debate Across States

Massachusetts and New York face a lengthy inquiry over Gov Robinson and aides. The committee nears a report on the New York and New England hearing. The piece hints at legislative relief for Mr Field while faulting the sale of state bonds as improperly handled and rushed at midnight harming the treasury.

Public service of New England railroad men praised

The governor is not to be blamed and the proper appeal is public opinion. Mr Field’s extended hearing may be necessary. Mr Clark and Mr Higginson, with their associates, have served the state well in managing the New England railroad but deserve no preferred treatment from the Commonwealth. They acted privately in bond purchases, not under public censure, showing skill in handling state affairs as they do in railroads.
