An 1508 Scranton column urges voters to elect a mayor with strong will power and sturdy back, a practical planner and fighter who acts as the city’s real chief executive rather than a figurehead.
The Lancaster New Era questions costly ceremonies for Governor-elect Stone and predicts a simple, economical inauguration. It notes Stone’s cordial relations with Senators Martin and Magee, party unity, and a broadened cabinet with broader Republican support. Authorities in Wilmington urge former woods residents to return to the city amid racial tensions.
The editorial attacks Rev. Dr George Edward Reed, president of Dickinson College, as a vile character after Reed respectfully disagreed with Swallow during the campaign. The piece cites libelous, abusive language against Reed and notes Pennsylvania readers’ judgment of Swallow’s conduct as unworthy of a public educator.
Carbondale launches its new evening newspaper The Newe a neat four page six column paper starting with news comment miscellany and advertisements. It pledges fairness in business and Republican politics and leaves a good initial impression amid local debate about national symbol imagery and Spain Havana news.
An English coroner's jury weighs whether two Christian Scientists Miss Lyon and Mrs Mille are criminally responsible for Harold Frederic's death by denying regular medical care. The panel argues law allows homicide when one hastens another's death by act or omission, while noting public health must curb imposture and dangerous remedies.
The piece argues that American public opinion misreads Spanish rule in Cuba and the Philippines. It cites Spanish budget figures, contrasts reforms with repression, and notes tensions from U.S. military governance, media portrayal, and local distrust as Cuba faces costs from intervention and reforms.
The article argues the sole issue is Spain’s relinquishment of sovereignty over the Philippines and Cuba. It states the US will govern temporarily and that ultimate ownership and government will be decided later by the island peoples and civilization, not by the peace commission. It also notes the US will not assume or guarantee Spain’s debt now.
An old ballot reform piece criticizes the current law as confusing and designed to hinder free voting. It favors a transparent Australian style ticket with candidate names and party clearly printed under each office. The voter would simply select preferred tickets, reducing undue influence.
The writer calls for an honest ballot law in Pennsylvania and favors adopting the Australian voting system. He argues the reform would expose fraud through court ordered recounts and open ballots, and asserts that even party leaders who distrust ballot secrecy will bow to the public will.
The Denver Times extols William McKinley as a strong leader and defender of America. It argues Republicans will hold an easy majority and lauds McKinley’s vision, calling him a grand, Christian gentleman who guided the nation to a successful era.
The author argues expansionists must show whether the United States has a duty to guide, protect, and aid self governed communities in overseas islands rather than rejecting responsibility. He contends a minority unlikely wishes America to govern distant provinces yet supports extending freedom and self government to peoples formerly under despotism.
General Garcia becomes the first Cuban general to reach Havana and shows restraint as General Gomez remains in Iberia. Garcia pledges loyalty to the United States and works with American officials, while Gomez seeks personal concessions and faces uncertainty about U.S. backing in Cuba.
