A Bland sponsored financial bill aims to pay all government obligations in gold or silver coins, half of import duties in gold and half in standard silver, and to coin bullion monthly not less than 10 million dollars. It restores the free coinage act of 1837, prohibits issuing interest bearing bonds, and seeks to issue noninterest bearing notes. Passage is deemed unlikely due to opposition from Democrats and gold Republicans, amid legislative deadlock in Oregon and Nevada style contests over Senate seats.
The Department of State in Washington informed that 38 revolutionists involved in a failed attempt to restore the monarchy were tried in Efondula. Two hundred more to be tried in Gnuck and Seward, both Americans, plus Richard, an Jinglah, sentenced to death or imprisonment with fines. Secretary Gresham cites need for due process and urges restraint and fair trials for American citizens abroad while noting they should have avoided rebellion against Hawaii’s republic.
The Idaho Legislature, meeting on the first Monday in January, continues balloting for United States Senator. It is composed of 37 Republicans, 15 Populists, and 2 Democrats. Republican candidates are Shoup and Sweet, while the Populist nominee is William H. Claggett, a former Nevada legislator and Montana Delegate to Congress. Claggett was elected Idaho Senator four years ago but faced alleged informality.
Citizens in San Francisco push for a non political investigating commission to probe corruption and political prostitution charges. Backed by meetings led by business leaders clergy and professionals, supporters pledge to oppose lawmakers who resist the bill. Senator Perkins notes the boss system spans parties as reforms gain broad public support.
A San Francisco based indictment of several men tied to the American Railway Union rail strike of 1894 faces scrutiny. The piece notes two defendants proved not to be members or linked to railroad work or the strike, while praising state actions against serious offenses. It argues federal prosecutions sometimes target innocent individuals, undermining trust in authorities and denying redress.
The former superintendent of the Insane Asylum faces no charges of malfeasance. Two years ago he requested 95 000 for 1893 and 1894, the Legislature granted 80 000. With more patients now, he argues 365 000 for the next two years will suffice, 20 000 less than his prior request.
The Journal relies on reports from the Ex-Superintendent and State Controller to note a 14000 overage in two year old appropriations. It rejects claims of expert status on insanity topics and dismisses the Publishing Company's assertion that all is in excellent shape, arguing the matter should be taken as stated in the official reports.
Humboldt Assemblyman Pitt introduces a bill to raise 38000 from the school fund for University dormitories funded by thirty eight $1000 bonds bearing 4 percent interest, due in twenty years with a two year optional redemption, plus a tax of 1.125 cents per $100 to the University Interest and Sinking Fund. The Elko Independent urges use of idle school funds for student buildings. A separate note mentions an attempted shooting of Nevada Bank President Hellman.
An old advertisement touts Mrs Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for teething pain with claims of curing diarrhea stomach issues and colic while promoting its pleasant taste and a price of twenty five cents a bottle. The piece also cites the San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press noting California holds 676000 tons of wheat and a three year price decline caused a state loss of 922400000.
A first person style exposé details opium dens and the narcotic ritual, exposing the lure and ruin of the habit. It describes the joint economy and equipment, the feverish craving, and the brutal physical and mental torments endured by victims, ending in ruin.

Also includes local ads for Electric Bitters and Bucklen's Arnica Salve and a note on Union Pacific and Central Pacific debt relief talks.
