It mocks figures like Mitchell and Croker, notes calls for underground wires, street paving fixes, and a skating rink for residents, and forecasts Jerome B. Nines seeking re election with a focus on tax reform.
The letter discusses a misconstruction of Tac Tapess's rule requiring authors of controversial content to sign their communications. It argues for accountability and public scrutiny, urging publication only when material stands on its own merit and integrity.
In a sharply voiced call to action, a Pennsylvania Republican leader urges district by district effort to back Galusha A. Grow and defeat Democratic plans. The piece frames a stark battle over tariffs, debt policy, and government intrusion, urging mass mobilization to ensure a decisive victory in immediate elections.
The city should provide cheap rapid transit to unite factory workers with their jobs and homes. Critics inflame factionalism with political rhetoric, while a pole tax should be kept as a simple business matter. The existing streetcar service is among the nation’s cheapest and least accommodating.
Baird Halberstadt of Pottaville presents several tables drawn from census reports showing a remarkable rise in southern bituminous coal production. The summary notes 1870 figures as part of a detailed inquiry into an industry viewed as threatened by the Wilson tariff bill.
The piece argues for better devices to bring shipwrecked seamen ashore, noting line-throwing range limits and unreliability, and suggesting kites or a sail-drift float as more ready emergency aids. It calls for trials of new lifeboat and rescue methods to protect human lives amid wrecks.
A fragmented historical column laments harsh political rhetoric and corruption in Washington. It contrastsJanuary weather and literary reflections with strong critiques of Representative Hines and Charles Mitchell, urging the public to drop discussive bluster and seek restraint.
The piece notes various Democratic groups in Pennsylvania including the Pennsylvania Democracy and the Democrats of Pennsylvania, plus factions like free trade and protection Democrats. It says only two groups have fielded candidates for congressman at large, implying a lack of unity and late-entry campaigns.
The article notes that from 1880 to 1889 the number of magazines in the United States rose from 428 to 1 051, with circulation and signatures increasing. It claims the country has more magazines and early pages than any other nation.
A sharp editorial note that democracy faces a growing trend of media and civic rhetoric about “beating the record.” It argues the Cleveland administration has adopted this fever, using it to justify increased national debt under Uncle Sam.
