Senate Bill on Inter State Commerce and Rebates Debate
The Inter State Commerce Committee study highlights the need for透明 publicity of rail rates to curb secret rebates. It argues that current nominal publicity hides vast rebates, with Standard Oil and railroad pools cited as examples. The Cullom bill is examined, proposing stringent disclosures and penalties, plus a detailed plan to detect and deter discriminatory pricing.

President Defies Senate Over Nominations in Firmer Tone
The President rebukes the Senate’s obstruction of presidential nominations in a staunch message. He defends removal for cause, invites fair Senate scrutiny, and admits mistakes while pledging good government. The piece contrasts Republican conduct with Lincoln and Johnson era battles over the tenure of office. It cites figures like Edmunds and historical acts and notes the political friction awaites Senate replies.

Coughs Colds and Quacks Across a Patchwork Page
A collage of cures and claims floods the column. Dr. Pierce and Dr. Bigelow advertise tonics and cures for throat and lung diseases while Simmons Liver Regulator is praised for fever and ague. Frank Flood pursues the Kilkenny estates, Mishler’s Bitters touted for ailments, and M A Faber credits Mishler’s with relief. A political jab about Iowa and Hartford insurance agents punctuates the clipping.
