The Scranton C Tribune Telly and Weekly is a Scranton, Pennsylvania publication by The Tribune Publishing Company with a New York office at Tribune Building. It notes postal entry on December 9, 1894 and includes a sales-advocacy line about merchants advertising in the Tribune.
The Tribune advocates issuing a comprehensive political handbook starting January 1 for six counties of Northeastern Pennsylvania. It argues daily visibility, year long use, and moderate ad prices. It compares favorably to inferior almanacs and cites greenbacks and tariff reform debates as context.
The Pittsburg Dispatch reports Edmund Dunn admits soliciting Wanamaker funds for Clark Baldwin in Connellsville on October 8. Baldwin allegedly promised to vote for Wanamaker if elected, with Dunn contributing money. Editorials question integrity and broaden concern to Wanamaker’s fitness and Pennsylvania representation.
The piece argues official inaugurations should avoid elaborate military and social pageantry. It notes Mark Hanna’s plan for a grand March next March while Indiana Governor-elect Mount and New York Governor-elect Black prefer simple ceremonies without parades or balls.
The Tribune argues against extravagant arrangements for a wealth of the land and supports Major McNinky, a poor man, to insist on a plain simple inauguration. It notes a local newspaper’s ballooned edition error and praises restraint for advertisers.
The piece critiques President Cleveland's Cuba stance noting clumsy diplomacy with Spain and selective praise. It argues the message provides solid data on Cuba's revolt yet avoids radical intervention, suggesting future action may be required to protect American interests and honor. It cites Willam F. Curtis and references McKinley's era and civil service reform trends.
The article critiques Spain's hold on Cuba amid growing Cuban resistance and warns Madrid not to overvalue Mr. Cleveland's friendly stance. It suggests easing policy toward the Eckerts and spars with tariff views, highlighting the U S president’s message as less influential.
In old Scranton a swampy square saw crude placards for merchants. The piece notes modern schooling has improved word spellings, contrasting with a conspicuously misworded sign pasted on a prominent avenue that children now critique daily.
A long column notes Christmas letters to Santa at the Scranton post office, various local readers and officials, and a mix of society items. Mentioned are Frank Silliman Jr. praised for Scranton streetcar improvements, Earl Russell in divorce cases, and several prominent figures tied to journalism and theater, plus a cavalcade of global anecdotes.
A reflective note describes the warm rapport between students and teachers, highlighting mutual respect, supportive guidance, and a shared commitment to learning. The piece emphasizes mentorship, encouragement, and the positive atmosphere in the classroom.
