Government builds Nicaragua canal by bond issue plan
The State Journal outlines a proposal to fund a Nicaragua canal by government bonds, making the state a full partner and owner. It contrasts this with partial government stakes and notes past acts where public capital moved through mortgages and private interests. The piece echoes editorials from Kingman and discusses local tidbits, including Lawrence canning, Parson’s following, a murder acquittal, and political vignettes.

Breaks All Records in Topeka Daily Circulation Claim
A worn detailed statement of circulation for the first half of 1895 shows the Topeka Daily Star-Journal posting a higher average daily circulation than any previous six month period in state history. Figures cited include 5,407, 6,707, and 7,980 for earlier years, with 9,334 as the first six months of 1895. The piece contrasts this with the Topeka Capital and notes the Star-Journal’s broader regional reach via trains and news services. It also touches on political debates, state conduct, and civil service reform, mentioning free silver rhetoric, bonds, and local government issues.
