Capitol Fun in Congress Stories of Jerry Simpson and Everett

Amos J. Cummings in the New York Sun discusses how storytellers shaped debates in Congress. He notes Harvard scholar William Everett’s critique of partisanship amid silver coinage rhetoric, recounts a Christmas hymn-book anecdote tied to advertising, and relays Jerry Simpson’s parable on steam and opposition. The piece touches on Minister Thurston and a recall question in diplomatic circles.

Various Authorities on Hambleton Co and Rail Reorg

Editorial notes that reorganizing large railways in receivers’ hands will restore confidence and lift values. Local stock exchange and investors hurt by Richmond & Danville troubles would gain from Danville securities readjustment. Banking and financial voices warn of slow improvement, with ongoing credit contraction and unemployment shaping the near future. The piece also mentions Alabama coal and iron interests, Hicks Almanac for 1894, and a Nashville grand jury indictment involving a city bribery case tied to the Thompson Houston Electric Light and Power Co.
