Abstract

The Cabinet
March 12, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on various socio-political developments related to the U.S. It is obvious from a glance at U.S. President Grover Cleveland's Cabinet that people should have to go a long way back in the history of the Government to find one of which the average in both ability and character was higher, and it is by the average that Cabinets have, after all, to be judged. It is the custom of the American public, however, to be very indulgent about the composition of a Cabinet at the outset of an Administration. It recognizes the fact that the Cabinet has to be, after all, a collection of agents to do important work, as well as a collection of political notables.
