It also notes the orange tree as the longest lived fruit tree, claiming ages around three hundred years and high yields with age. A Detroit divorce and a muleteer rescue in Mexico are briefly mentioned, reflecting varied topics in a single column.

The piece argues Yale professors and urban Republicans in Connecticut join a reform movement against the Blaine ticket. It defends respected figures like Schurz, Curtis, Roosevelt, Eliot and Porter against the taunt “dudes and Pharisees.” It says these scholars act from principle, aim to punish their party, and seek two untainted names on a Democratic ticket, predicting Blaine and Logan will lose and party control will shift.
