An editorial condemns public fund manipulations and calls for repeal of laws punishing such acts. It notes total appropriations for Congress's sessions exceed 90 million dollars, detailing 77 million for the navy, 118 million for the army, 60 million for improvements, and 140 million for pensions, arguing workers bear the burden while a few benefit.
The piece rails at wartime promises and calls for more leaders and volunteers for the Philippines and South Africa. It mocks lavish public spending, cites the London Spectator on pauperism, and critiques Oregon politics, rail firms, and a costly 1870s treasury mansion while warning against corruption in high office.
A reflective critique discusses England’s monarchs from William the Conqueror to Henry VI, labeling some as tyrants and others as capable rulers. It contrasts their actions, such as taxation, governance, and conquests, with later leaders and U.S. presidents, arguing Edward VII earns a distinct place on history’s roll.
The piece assesses monarchs from Edward VI to George IV and argues that by character and influence a king can shape national conduct even without power. It highlights Edward VII's potential to foster unity, curb extravagance, and guide foreign relations, likening his role to past rulers and pondering his impact on events like the Trent affair and the Nicaragua question.
