A late 19th century column lists scattered news notes from June 25 1891 including a baccarat scandal ending, yellow fever in Vera Cruz, calls for a Texas Legislature extra session, McKinley campaign chatter, Congo Free State Jews, Kilrain boxing draw, Milam County courthouse ceremonies, and education growth in the South with rising school attendance and college competition.
Gov. McKinsey of Virginia proposes to the legislature a separate coach law extending to street cars. The move, made near the national capital, is likely to spark denunciations from Republican papers, but will not deter the South. The policy aims to keep white and black races strictly separate in all aspects of public life. If Virginia acts, other Southern states may follow.
W T Foster of St Joseph Missouri predicts a storm wave crossing the continent from June 30 to July 4 with increased energy through the year. The forecast calls for a warm July, hot spells, spotty rains and later more copious showers two weeks after July 10.
The Dallas Time-Herald portrays McKinley as a relentless partisan who defends tariff policies and opposes administration policies. It argues his tough stance could help him win, noting Ohio’s Republican edge and Democratic infighting led by Governor Campbell weakens the party’s opposition.
A new alliance paper the World Publishing company with $25 000 capital aims to publish Farmers World in Dallas. Editor is Hon J L Goodman of Franklin Roberson county. Prospectus promises a Democratic paper not tied to any faction and supports tariff reform coinage of gold and silver and honest government. The paper endorses Alliance and Grange principles with focus on labor uplift education cooperation and modern production methods.
McKinley wins the Ohio governorship nomination by Foraker and by acclamation. The state platform endorses protection, agricultural promotion, wool industry protection, mixed metal coinage, free vote and fair counting, immigration limits, economy in government, pensions for soldiers, Harrison administration, Sherman, Foster, and criticism of Campbell and ripper legislation. The railroad commission is criticized for inaction during hot days.
Prominent Farmers Alliance members issue a call for a public gathering at St Worth on July 10 and 11 for all Texas alliances opposed to the sub treasury plan and critical of the last Legislature’s committee. The event invites speakers from the southern states and aims to unite against railroad and corporate interests.
The Memphis Appeal-Avalanche argues against harsh censure of Mr. Blaine for promoting American beer in Central and South America, claiming beer could curb pulque and advance social order. It cites civic virtue as a goal, notes the tariff issue in Ohio elections, and reflects on industrial growth and education spending, mentioning Waco’s female school superintendent and Mrs. Willie House.
Editorial notes report deaths of Gen Albert Blanchard and Ex Senator Joseph McDonald, a possible St Paul Minneapolis union, a prize for moving treasury money, embezzlement totals in Philadelphia, fund drives for Jeff Davis monument, and changes to the US flag. Also mentions Cherokee cattle intruders, a signature bill on signed articles, a light strike at Westlake La, politics around the force bill, reserve bank agents, Nebraska grain warehouses, Quintana Times launch, Phoebe Cousens salary suit, Brazilian self government, ships and guano shipments, a new Richmond Zephyr weekly, and a libel suit against Cork Herald related to Parnell.

It notes meetings by Burnett & Mulkey in LaGrange, crop highs in Bastrop and Coleman, accidents and arrests in Palestine, San Antonio, Victoria, and Dallas, a new bridge over Mud Creek, and jetties at Brazos with Velasco town plans. Also reported are murders, drownings, a fatal morphine case near Bryan, and lignite coal finds near San Antonio.
