The piece argues for preserving the Grand Army of the Republic through admission of younger veterans and sons, and discusses municipal reform via a National League for Good City Government. It endorses civil service reform, excluding national party issues, and proposes a Municipal party to reduce partisan city control and elevate capable local leaders.
Discussion of municipal party influence and Sun day observance in Allentown. Judge McLean limits coroner inquests to deaths by violence or criminal neglect, urging narrower inquiry.

A dated editorial argues against the free allwer fallacy as root of economic unrest and calls for a return to confidence and lawful retail practices. It condemns unlicensed retail proliferation, supports organized wholesaler protection, and hints at political snubs involving Flower Hill and Hill. It references Coxey and Breckinridge in a critical tone.
The text quotes James Blaiie predicting upheaval if free trade prevails. He warns that Democratic push for free trade will erode protectionist gains, cause factory closures, rising unemployment, and widespread hardship. He urges workers to support protectionist parties to preserve livelihoods and demand for labor.
The article recalls Colonel W C P Breckinridge criticizing Benjamin Harrison's stance as an attempt to ravish a weak sister. It notes Breckinridge's reaction and the general public sentiment, with odd phrasing reflecting historical newspaper style.

In the New York Commercial Advertiser the writer notes William C. Whitney behaves as if a contagious disease still affects the White House, signaling ongoing political tension and concern about the administration.
