Fame Costs and Campaigns for Postmaster Roles
Washington dispatch from April 6 argues fame in diplomacy costs money and favors Langley, Maguire, and single taxers as paths to recognition. It notes Langley’s futuristic flight work at Smithsonian, Judge Maguire’s famous tale after San Francisco cat episode, and Frank Lawler’s bid for Chicago postmaster aided by a 63,497 name petition and Baby Ruth campaign flair. Cleveland’s candidate is Frank Lawter.

Lo, the Poor Indian Nine Hundred Senecas on Alleghany
Sanamanca April 6 Special Correspondence. The Alligewi or Alleghany mound builders are traced to a Seneca reserve on the Alleghany river. About 900 Indians live in a 30,000 acre strip, largely in Salamanca New York. The piece notes neglect and erosion of traditional ways, poverty, and a basic government lease system begun in 1875 that allowed some land sales for money, while timber has dwindled. It describes daily life, housing, and the people as generally cheerful yet facing economic and farming difficulties.
