The Lawrence Kansas paper discusses subscription terms for The Daily and Weekly Journal, notes a forthcoming open saloon in Leavenworth, praises Kansas rail growth, and criticizes water works delays. It includes editorials by Prof Foster and Judge perspectives on prohibition, bond limits, and potential corporate control shifts.
The piece surveys Kansas railroad expansion, indictments of druggists and liquor sellers, and a St Louis Globe-Democrat extract on the Parsons & Pacific route. It also discusses public perception of President Cleveland, Lincoln’s legacy, and Plutarchian views of his character as a distinct American type.
Washington advices state superintendent Riley returned from western reservations and reports strong attendance gains and new schools. He endorses English instruction only and deems higher education largely useless for Indians. Carlisle and Hampton could close while Lawrence and a Nebraska or Dakota school could serve. Indian Territory, New Mexico, Colorado should get expanded facilities and industrial training.
The author argues the president should stop quarrelsome and ill tempered complaints about the press. It contends newspapers have treated Cleveland kindly, criticized only official acts, and that rulers are servants who face scrutiny, not exempt from criticism.
An agent promotes improved farms in Douglas and adjoining counties and houses in Lawrence. Advertised are two story brick homes near the university, frames with multiple rooms, large lots with shade trees, and terms of easy payments. Also offered are farms of various sizes, land in Oklahoma soon, and loans through Douglas County Bank with low interest.
