East furnaces reopen and politics stoke debate

The piece notes idle industrial revival in the East and Mexico's Diaz may miss a U.S. visit. New York faces 75 000 idle workers costing a million dollars weekly, while Aransas Pass road support grows. Waco credits its rail link for cotton trade gains. A train attack case yields praise for officers, and Washington monument dedication proclaims peace, war, and national memory. The San Antonio charter bill advances, state finances face cuts, and election talk swells as Cleveland navigates a tough path.

Pistol laws and Oklahoma land notes amid San Antonio rail talk

The text argues stricter penalties for pistol possession and illicit sales, describes Oklahoma Territory’s vast 14 million acres, and discusses San Antonio rail plans focusing on a potential narrow gauge line to connect with the Texas Mexican system and reach Mexico. It cites figures, quotes civic sentiment, and weighs land and railroad politics.

Narrow gauge plan to connect San Antonio with Aransas Pass

In a detailed argument the author urges converting the Aransas Pass line to narrow gauge to secure freight, harbor access, and through trains to Mexico. The plan would attract trade from Fredericksburg and Mason, lock in lower rates via connections with the Texas and St. Louis, Bremond, and Mexican National lines, and position San Antonio as a hub for southwest rail competition.

Texas Sour Mass Medical Claim and Endorsement

An advertisement extols Texas Sour Mass as a superior tonic curing dyspepsia, indigestion, malaria, venereal diseases, and female ailments. Included is a testimonial from W. G. McGown praising its efficacy and offering to promote the remedy. The letter from San Antonio, dated January 15, 1885, endorses two bottles and respect for its portability.
