The Week

April 23, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on political conditions in the U.S., during 1885. The decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in the Virginia tax-coupon cases marks another revolution in constitutional construction which will be regarded by some as a virtual change of the Constitution itself, and by others as an adaptation of conflicting parts to the broad requirements of justice. The Republican managers in Pennsylvania, as well as in New York, are busy with schemes to capture the Irish Roman Catholic vote for their party.
