Licensing Reform in Sweden Cuts Drunkenness and Taxes
The article traces Sweden’s shift from widespread private alcohol retail to a license system starting in 1854. Gothenburg's move to public management of pubs reduced drunkenness from 6.10 percent in 1868 to 2.52 percent in 1870, while yielding about $60,000 to the town treasury and $37,000 from licenses. By 1870 overall liquor consumption was under one-fifth of 1854 levels.

War Department 1874 Estimates and Army Strength
Correspondence reports 1874 War Department estimates totaling 50 820 000 with 8 000 000 for river and harbor work and 1 500 000 for fortifications. The current regular army faces insufficiency amid rising demands as seen in the Modoc war and Mexican frontier. October 31 1878 total force stood at 20 500 across branches, with detailed authorized strengths for engineer battalion infantry and cavalry units. General Sherman supports adding a infantry company to cavalry strength by reclassifying several units, boosting combatants by 2 500 without extra army expense.
