A Kansas newspaper fragment discusses The Journal founded in 1877 and its weekly edition, plus political discourse on Rockefeller caricatures, Mitchell on Brady's platform, Dowie collapse, and Senator Burton’s scandal, portraying tragedy in Kansas history and public figures.
The article recalls two years ago when the paper's editor, then a legislative candidate, promised to back about a dozen platform bills. It notes he later voted for all presented bills as a member, helped pass those that passed, and advocated the two or three that failed, claiming future promises would be kept with equal fidelity if reelected.

It portrays the Zionists as of attempting a communistic colony model with governance representing all people, criticizing prior surrender of goods to the prophet and suggesting a move toward a more inclusive leadership.
