Elevation 740 feet and a population estimate around 189 103000 mark. Voters numbered 2609 with school property valued at 750000 and 12000 school children. Banks hold deposits near 10. The note touts cheap electric power and industrial opportunities, while criticizing speculative writers on the anthracite trade for ignoring basic facts.
The article argues Cashler Stone used fictitious notes to bolster bank capital, likening it to stock watering. It warns such speculation is dangerous for banks, calls for tighter banking supervision, and praises the Harrisburg reporting of James R. Burnett and the enduring influence of Matthew Stanley Quay in Pennsylvania politics.
A Wilkes-Barre Newa-Dealer remark warns that four hundred thousand dollars to run Scranton next year is steep for a city under 100,000. The piece argues comparisons to village governments or older cities misstate the burden and imply imminent municipal bankruptcy.
The piece argues that trolley workers faced low wages while the public bore the brunt of disruption. It condemns violence and public mobbing, supports arbitration, and criticizes Mayor Strong for Byrnes retention. It praises Parkhurst and cautions against corrupt political forces opposing reform.
Rev Dr Parkhurst told an audience in Chiengs that his New York work has scarce begun. Three months after Tammany was crushed public sentiment adjusts to new conditions and looks for quiet, with newspapers ready to entertain as scandals fade and attention shifts to other headlines.
The American Book Company denies charging varying prices for school books in Pennsylvania. It cites uniform offers, printed contracts, and consistent pricing across districts, arguing differences were due to ownership of books or varying supply needs. It claims an official investigation found no price fixing and defends its role in affordable schooling.
The author warns that transferring power to county commissioners will repeat problems as juries are filled by a faulty system. Public responsibility lies with voters who select jurors, since the jury pool depends on the men who supply candidates.

It notes political maneuvers in Harrisburg, critiques of party-business ties, and features musings on reform, trade, and historical reflections.
