Proportional Representation and the End of Districts
A 1890s public letter argues for replacing district-based elections with proportional representation. It critiques gerrymandering and vote buying, cites benefits for multiple parties and independent candidates, and endorses the single transferable vote system as superior for American cities and state legislatures.

Frontier Scout McCabe Rides 40 to Save Fort C.F. Smith
Forty Bozeman picked men led by Captain McCabe traverse 950 miles to Fort C.F. Smith. They join 200 U S troops to lift a Sioux siege without a shot fired or a scalp taken, proving frontier grit and tactical resolve. The plan relies on scalping as a deterrent and signals via smoke and fire. Green Clay Smith, Montana governor, and General Hancock orchestrate the relief effort.
