The second anniversary of Cuba's self governing status shows a healthy, orderly nation with strong finances. Despite past overspending by Governor General Wood, Cuba has built a cash reserve above five million dollars while maintaining institutions, education, sanitation, roads, and a growing credit profile. Pendleton should promote conventions to boost its profile and attract meetings, while regional groups in Idaho and the Northwest gather here with little effort. A mocking note ends with a contest about congressional candidates in Oregon.
United States Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz notes a worsening overcrowding in Germany’s medical profession. He reports 29,200 doctors, about twice the 1876 figure, with the number of medical students steadily rising despite the bleak outlook.
The New York World notes disproportionate doctor to population ratios in large German cities. Berlin doctors show low taxable incomes, while lawyers earn far above $2,880.

A farmer on his porch longs for rain to save his corn and grain. He contends with doubt, learns patience, and finds joy as clouds gather and the shower arrives.
