The Economic Function of Vice in Society
The article argues vice exposes weakness in human nature rather than vice degrading the individual. It ties whisky to social dynamics, lists prizefighters and tavern keepers, and notes a colored preacher discovering race references in the New Testament. It frames vice as a driver of social movement and danger to upper classes.

Ingersoll Replies to Critics Over Mills Funeral Controversy
In Washington on April 29 Robert Ingersoll responded reluctantly to clerical denunciations of his remarks at the Mills funeral. He defended liberty at funerals, mocked church claims to control rites, and contrasted universalist and orthodox views on death and salvation. He argued reasonable respect for nonbelievers and warned ministers against imposing creed on the living and dead.
