The dialogue sketches Zeke Bilkins attending a Greensboro State Alliance funeral that never appears. Betsy wonders about John Robinson and Farmers Institutes, confusing the circus magnate with the Commissioner of Agriculture. The piece mocks political fixations and notes President Cleveland backs fishing at Buzzard Bay as the Sherman law fate looms.
