Decline of political stock and public figures

The piece notes drops in value of political influence in the U P and comments that Hayes was a weak political fixer.

Beecher critiques political usefulness.

French scientist pursues rabies inoculation goal

A French scientist conducts experiments to inoculate against rabies, aiming to prevent hydrophobia. If successful he would aid humanity, though the piece laughs that the greatest feat would be inoculating politicians against presidential itch in this country.

Congress fails to fund hydrographic offices and lumber losses grow

The editorial laments congressionally blocked funds ending hydrographic offices at major U S seaports and praises naval work. It warns economy cuts harm vital services while noting pine forests in Michigan Wisconsin and Minnesota show exhaustion with a 600 million feet production shortfall. It criticizes lumbermen for wasteful practices and degradation of land and stock.

Democratic Reform and Eaton’s Morrison Bill Record

The piece argues the Democratic Party must pursue clear reform goals and questions Mr. Eaton’s congressional actions on the Morrison bill. It contends he touted revenue reform and tariff reduction but took no amendments, aligning with protectionists to block war-tax reductions and surplus relief, contradicting district promises.

Controversial Reflections on Eaton and District Politics

A historical critique argues that Eaton betrayed his pledges after the March 1883 revenue act, using the bloody shirt to rally opposition. The piece questions whether voters foresaw entanglements and labels Eston as inconsistent, unfaithful, and treacherous, suggesting the present session should end his political career.

Oddities and anecdotes mix with brief notices in scattered pages

A medley of humorous snippets and brief notices from diverse locales touch on trout fishing bans, drink lore, idle advice, and civic quirks. Amid stray jokes, poetry, and civic alerts, readers encounter notes on rentals, exhibitions, and a mock innocence about sensational stories.

Exhibition review of Walker Ewer and McEwen portraits

A detailed critique of H O Walker and Walter McEwen portraits at Doll Richards and Noyes Blakeslee galleries highlights strong likenesses and technical skill. Louis Ewer’s trout pictures at Williams Evgerett’s gallery impress anglers with accurate color and movement while Walter McEwen’s Munich influence yields mixed results. Cabot’s watercolors at Chase’s gallery show charm in flowers but dry landscapes and muddy color in some works. Notes cover English Art in 1884 publication plans and short updates on artists and exhibitions.
