The British government will investigate the death of M Clellan, a British subject killed in Kemper county Mississippi. The piece notes English protection abroad and questions Mississippi’s treatment, suggesting a Fourth of July audience will debate liberty and flag protection.
The piece rails at patriotic rituals while condemning unpunished killings tied to political strife. It cites mob violence in Mississippi politics, calls for accountability, and notes the Cincinnati Gazette's dark forecast for Democracy. A letter from Mrs Crnisnonar on the Kemper county massacre is promised in a separate column.
The article concludes with a forecast that within a hundred years the railroad system and its bridges will be revolutionized by flight, making air travel the main medium of transportation, a notion once as eccentric as talking by lightning.
The U P Railroad plans a new branch to the Hills with Sidney likely the start point while Yeyenne Pine Bluffs and North Tie compete for the construction prize.
Special to the Inter Ocean reports Mrs Chisholm’s letter detailing the Kemper jail killing spree. She recalls her husband and son dying defending their family as guards and mob members shot and beat them, while she and Cornelia suffered severe wounds and fled. The account notes possible British and Russian connections and a planned formal inquiry if warranted.
