In Scranton on February 25, 1597 the article questions whether Consul General Lee asked Grover for a warship. It argues such a request would have been proper to counter Spain and protect American citizens, condemning any tolerance of hostile actions against them.
A New York Journal alleged interview with Senator Sherman about Cuba and Spain is dismissed as fabrication. Proponents urge legal protection for press freedom while criticizing the paper as a public swindle. The piece also discusses tax policy and inheritance taxes as a solution to state finances.
The editorial criticizes Senator Sherman for delaying the arbitration treaty by blaming President Cleveland. It argues the Senate would ratify with two thirds support once vote timing aligns, condemns opposition to Cleveland’s actions, and notes the senate’s indignation toward executive conduct while urging principled restraint in debates over a vital international pact.
A fragmented civic letter condemns Senate maneuvering and urges a higher sense of duty in Congress. The writer blames Pennsylvania for past financial embarrassments tied to local institutions and dismisses imposition on the public.
The piece argues for stronger libel law reform in Pennsylvania inspired by Wisconsin proposals, urging newspapers to push for fair treatment and noting media influence. It also covers Cuban independence sentiments, referencing General Gomez, President Cleveland, and U S reactions, with commentary on journalism and current political stances.
Gomez as chief of the Cuban Liberation Army rebuts Cleveland's remarks on Cuban governance and insurgent aims. He insists the general in command speaks for the Cuban forces and calls for clarity on the document's claims to avoid harming the Cuban cause.
A noisy survey of recent titles and critics notes the revival of serious fiction with a satirical edge. It credits Wililaut forerh Yeon and a sharp breakfast-column by William AbCormicl, praising wit and argumentative tone while lampooning grammar and editorial style.
Fragmented text reflects a dated commentary on George Washington Benator Sherman Gunns and policy shifts. It mentions Cree and Crete, Cuban patriotism, and warnings about talking across political lines. The passage hints at political tension and war debates without clear events or dates.
