Railways show vast capital and mixed public good
The piece notes sixteen U.S. railroad firms each over 1,000 miles, led by the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul with 3,627 miles. It compares Union Pacific and New York Central earnings, cites Atkinson on freight savings from 1866–79, and argues railways are powerful yet not inherently monopolistic, with public remedies to curb excess.

Pleasing French Flavors Rule In Delicate Cuisine
The article contrasts French and English cooking noting that French cuisine uses delicate vegetable essences and herbs such as carrots turnips onions leeks cabbage mushrooms and truffles with tarragon thyme chervil laurel and parsley. Spices are used modestly yet the variety of combinations from these ingredients creates a constantly evolving palate. In contrast English fare relies on strong mustard cayenne and hot sauces, leading to monotony. French cooking is so well flavored that even salt is unnecessary at table.
Meanest man on record spotted in Burlington tale
Keokuk Gate City recites a tall story of a deaf dumb blind organist who slept by the post office. A thief steals the organ, substitutes a churn, and the man awakens to grind the churn’s handles for creamery butter. Dr Chapin jokes and Dr Emerson’s pulpit hat gag closes the piece.
