The Newark cashier who stole nearly everything from his bank except the building sets an example social observers note. England's sheep census falls from 30,313,941 in 1874 to 24,582,154 in 1881, a 20 percent drop while population rises and American port shipments meet rising mutton demand.

The extension would run from Dexter to Dover then to Katahdin iron works and up the Mattawamkeag river to Patten and toward the head waters of the Aroostook, shortening Boston to Presque Isle by over 200 miles and bringing the valley closer to Boston. The Maine Central is thriving and Aroostook wealth grows, making the new route likely.

Berlin election forecasts test Bismarck gains in Reichstag
Berlin observers foresee Bismarck alone not holding a majority in the new Reichstag. He must bargain with liberals and possibly clericals while pursuing economic policies. Liberals may win about twenty of ninety second-ballot seats, raising their tally to around 100. Authorities accused liberals of abuses in Lauenburg amid conservative pressure in Holstein and West Prussia. Bismarck says chronic diseases require time and patience for a cure.
