Questions Raised About Minnesota Pension Forgeries
The St Paul Pioneer questions Minnesota State authorities about a long delay in responding to allegations. It asks how long since a clerk in the Adjutant General's office forged vouchers for thousands of dollars and fled with the money, how long since a $5,000 appropriation from the Treasury was used to cover the forgeries, and how long since a capitol subordinate stole items and was forced to disgorge about $500 in plunder.

Tri-Color in Alsace Lorraine Amid German Occupation
A Paris report by M. Saint-Genest describes Germans waging a bitter war in Alsace Lorraine against French colors. Peasants taunt a Prussian officer as a tri-color cockade drags in dust while flags rise from trees and families quietly revive French lessons and hidden banners at night. The piece notes Germany’s aim to keep the provinces as part of its empire and predicts an uphill struggle and eventual loss. Additional items include Ohio political shifts showing Democratic gains and Republican decline, with figures for 1867, 1869, 1871, and 1878, and a note about Nathaniel Wheeler receiving the Imperial Order of Francia Joseph.
