Postal Reform and Political Fire in the Nation

A mix of federal mail orders, naval notes, and political shifts fills the page. References to a Washington department order for regular mail, Secretary Wartney’s naval presence in South America, and possible Barrios death rumor anchor the national sections. Georgia, Kentucky, Texas, and Missouri receive partisan color, while Alderman Hampieton proposes city drainage reform.

The San Antonio versus Waco coverage contrasts road and city bond chatter, with local lines concluding on Aransas road talk.
