Turbulent Washington notes and policy shifts
The Statesman reports ongoing political maneuvering in Washington. It notes Wells Fargo's liability over a stolen $560,000 keg, interior department fencing by Standard Oil in Indian Territory, and potential veto risk for the Fitz John Porter bill. It references tariff agitation, anticipated extra sessions after March, pig iron tariff impact, and changes to the new nickel coin design. It also covers pension debates for Mexican War veterans, army seniority questions, and the looming Speakership matter, all within a brisk, period-voice digest.

Boston Uncle Tom's Cabin delight echoes in packed theater
A crowded venue praised a new version of Uncle Tom's Cabin with lively acting and novelty. The Pittsburgh Daily Press lauds the performance as the best yet, noting two comic turns and strong staging while skipping satire in the troupe. The ad copy touts Warren's Entire Wheat Patent Flour as digestible and a kerosene oil lead, urging readers to visit the local dealer J. & R. Butler for the best product. A testimonial from a Chicago & Northwestern railroad conductor promotes Warner's White Wine of Tar Buruqi as a quick cure for hoarseness and cold.
