• NOT SO FAST! Secretary Windom May Have to Withdraw His Action in Regard to Liberty Island. The Senate Takes a Vote. It Ellis Island for an Immigrant Depot. There May Be No Changes Soon

• HAPPY NEW YEAR
  An article that describes how children should be treated. The article notes that delinquent children should be used for work (in jobs such as police decoys) but “good” children should not be put to work. This indicates that the author views child labor as a disciplinary tool. A tool that should be used only to punish naughty children. https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1890-03-01/ed-3/seq-1/ Page 1
• Yaqui Indian Outrage: Mrs. Lacy Badly Wounded and Two of Her Servants Killed
  A short article describing how Alexander Lacy, his wife, and his servants were attacked in their home by Yaqui Natives, three miles from Sonora, Mexico.

• Enough To Make Liberty Climb Down and Spank the Administration
  A political cartoon of Lady Liberty (the Statue of Liberty) spanking President Benjamin Harrison. In the background of the cartoon, there is a building (representing Elis Island) with a sign stating "Immigrants land here". Though this cartoon can be interpreted in a variety of ways, I believe it is a pro-Democratic cartoon that demonstrates how Lady Liberty provides justice for newly arrived immigrants. https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1890-03-01/ed-3/seq-1/ Page 1
