State Printing Fraud and Jones Five Per Cent Fund
The piece denounces state printing contracts as corrupt under the Republican administration and criticizes the handling of public lands funds. It highlights a claim that D. W. Jones, Wisconsin Secretary of State, secured a five percent share from sales of public lands but delayed approval, with editorials arguing it harms trust in governance. It also recalls Charles Sumner’s 1856 assault and calls for a Young Men's Republican convention to honor that episode.

Probable Duration of the War From the May York Prabene
The article argues that past protracted wars arose from France and Austria’s rivalry and the Dover Straits barrier. It posits Napoleon’s Italian entry led to rapid victories, with subsequent conquests across Europe within months. It suggests future wars could end swiftly if France or Austria achieved decisive advantage, but a continental war’s length hinges on naval supremacy and treaties.
