Civil Service Farce in Senate Deficiency Bill Debate
A seditious tone dominates the text as critics accuse the Senate appropriations committee of seeking to purge civil service rules for deputy marshals and internal revenue collectors. The piece argues the Democrats weaponize reform rhetoric, calls for spoils-style employment, and mocks figures such as Newman and Bryan while linking meat scares and seasonable politics to a broader power struggle.

Sacred ruins lost in restoration on Iona Cathedral
The Isle of Iona features a damaged restoration tale as the Cathedral of Iona, cradle of Scotland’s Christianity, is reroofed and fitted with modern Neo-Gothic fittings. Critics decry the eye‑jarring anachronism, urging reverence for the historic sanctuary and noting the Duke of Argyll’s distant role. The piece traces Iona’s sacred history from Saint Columba through medieval kings to its enduring legend as a burial and religious site.
