Patriotism and Reform in a Turbulent Era
A 1888 column laments waning patriotism yet praises civil service entrants and reform efforts. It notes Gen. Harrison’s need for support, cites a Texas congressman’s assault on a reporter, and condemns mob violence in Birmingham while urging law-and-order action. It covers the rise of faith cure with Bethany Home reports and prayers as healing, framing religion as social reform.
