An old editorial weighs money versus credit and the silver standard, criticizing politicians for seeking favorable phrases while urging decisive action. It cites Danville lynching linked to pardoning power, Memphis money lenders favoring anti silver measures, and Carlisle warning that free coinage would both contract and inflate the currency.
The Fort Wayne Times-Post issued its initial number last evening with a fresh typographical look. Editors vow to uphold democratic values and prevent democracy from being permanently overwhelmed by pessimistic forces.
The Times-Post launches as an afternoon free silver daily with a democratic stance and opinions. It promotes Charles Bliss’s Free and Unlimited Coinage of Silver for 10 cents. The Port Wayne Indiana Christian Endeavor Society selects Nickel Plate road for a Norfolk trip to Boston in July for YP and Masonic gatherings, with Niagara Falls and Saratoga Springs en route and no extra charges.
Rogers rails at free coinage of silver as a moving faith lacking understanding among converts. He argues education in politics is flawed and urges referendum voting over lobbyist dictates. The Lake Erie & Western Muncie division lists cheap excursion dates and society meetings.
A Washington style stance on free coinage dominates appeals and editorials. The author attacks Secretary Carlisle while defending free silver and critiques monetary theory, touting Gresham's law and cross-border effects on gold and silver supplies.
The piece surveys current china fashions from Minton, Coalport, Copeland, Cauldon and Crown Derby, noting that English wares lead in color and form. It advises buyers to select good porcelain in order and suggests matching plate ornamentation to course progression. It also mentions Sardine on toast as a serving tip and notes through-train service additions on Nickel Plate and West Shore railroads with a colored porter and unchanged low rates.
A writer urges women to avoid perpetual frowning and to cultivate a pleasant expression. Frowning may stem from uncorrected vision or careless habits, and habitual facial movements create wrinkles that age appearance. The piece endorses smiling, bearing minor annoyances, and notes Paris fashion sketches for sleeves by Judic Chollet.
A fragment recounts Mrs Grote's literary ambition after her husband’s death and mentions her remark about writing his life. It notes the popular edition of the History of Greece printed during English strikes, criticized as a failed German experiment, and humor about Mrs Grote’s “scrubby edition.”
A terse office exchange traces the whereabouts of Mr Scallenger. A clerk confirms Scallenger sometimes uses the desk and has been in this morning but provides no location or time for his next appearance. The visitor expresses frustration and departs.
The Indianapolis Journal cites a landlady noting a claim that trout may be caught with live bumblebees as bait. A cheerful man doubts the idea yet concedes a hot meal would please him after a day of swimming, a remark that ends with him not getting one.
Amos J. Cummings was invited to join a fishing party bound for a lake with large fish. He quips that six was chosen but some may want to fish instead and break up the poker game, underscoring vanity in the lure of a coastal trip.
A newcomer to the warden remarks on a book found in the library. He claims the text implies a man can be the mother of his own fortune and mentions counterfeiting as his motive. Washington Star report notes the exchange.
