Brooklyn Recap Notes On Meat and City Leaders

A prelude to Rev. Joseph Cook's upcoming lecture will address the harmful effects of raw beefsteak when eaten. The article notes that last Thursday in Brooklyn, Col Roebling stood out in prominence, possibly equaled only by Mayor Low. It then humorously suggests Mrs Roebling would have shared the top spot instead.

Kentucky tariff dispute praised by reformers at last convention

The Kentucky Democratic convention rebukes the Traveller and defends the party line on tariff reaffirmations from 1876 and 1880. It cites Watterson Carlisle and Morrison to show the straddle claim is unfounded, argues for adherence to the St. Louis and Cincinnati platforms, and asserts the party will not repudiate their spirit. The column drifts into a mix of humorous notes and brief anecdotes.

A historical overview notes Scotland’s cotton industry collapse from 1861 onward, detailing mills, spindles, and workers. It cites 22 active spinning mills in Scotland today versus 68 in 1850, with five counties left without a spindle and Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire hardest hit.
