Jamestons becomes an incorporated city with upcoming mayoral and city official elections. Notes on Secretary Mainning resigning the Treasury and a successor to be appointed this week, plus various regional observations on labor, temperance, rail shipping, gas company actions, and local political sentiment.
The company reports 124 acres of prime gas lands secured and significant stock uptake with 100000 dollars sold. They plan to use gas soon, have pipes ordered, and a capable board. Public opinion shifts during the Gould system road strike, with labor sympathy rising as management hurdles hinder settlement efforts.
Philadelphia Times argues lawlessness harms labor and demands Knights of Labor denounce violent actions in the Texas Pacific railroad strike. It states officers were shot in ambush, calls for widespread public condemnation, and says no official should re employ or trust violent workers.
A Washington Special recalls Grover Cleveland’s famed gift skepticism and charity, noting his refusal of many presents including dogs and birds while saving canes and returning items. The account blends anecdotes of his restraint with a broader legal discussion on Chinese treaty exemptions and a circular policy from 1885.
A local Warren County paper defends its labor coverage and denounces vacillating positions on the Knights of Labor. It argues labor fair representation, opposes property destruction, and criticizes those who wait for profit rather than principle while urging solidarity against strikes and riots.
The President asks Congress to consider a report from the Secretary of State about treaty rights of Chinese subjects to go and come freely. He cites hardship under the 1882 and 1884 acts, noting courts have remedied some cases while others deny landing and return rights without court review. He stresses Congress meant free ingress, not conditional protections impossible to perform.
The piece argues that most boycotts target labor more than capital and hurt workers more than they help. It estimates labor losses at about a thousand million dollars for 1886, with a million idle and five hundred million lost in previous year. It urges intelligent workers to shun self destructive boycott leaders and notes President and Manning dispute as unrelated to an illness.
Mr Giapsroxe presented a plan to the English government advocating a home Parliament and Irish laws as a path to harmony. The three hour speech omitted the land question and drew enthusiastic cheers while Mr Parnell thanked Gladstone for a measure believed beneficial. The rest notes a local tailor and a sale offer at Theodore Messner's.
