The Treasury Surplus and Partisan Debate
A lively editorial discusses the 1880s treasury surplus, criticizing Democratic promises to distribute funds while noting the Cleveland era left money idle. It argues for prudent use of surplus on defenses, pensions, and public works, not mere redistribution, and cautions both parties against calling each other spendthrifts. The piece also reports on local notices and social events around Mr Rundquist, Swedish Olive Lodge, and a generous watch gift amid community life.
