Among the topics on the page 2 editorial is the finances of the North, the editor noting: "The enemy's exultation over their recent achievements will be extravagant enough...If it had been possible before to save the Northern finances, it will not be now. The government will take a new plunge into the sea of financial trouble..." with much more (see for portions).
