The Week
August 21, 1879 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents news related to the political and social conditions in the U.S. and the rest of the world. The Wallace and Butler Committees, appointed one to investigate "Northern bull-dozing" and the other to inquire into alleged abuses in the Rhode Island civil service, have taken a good deal of testimony during the week at Providence, Newport, and Boston. A very important change, and one likely to damage the Turks badly with the European Powers, has occurred at Constantinople. Khaireddin Pasha, who has for the last year been vizir, and has tried to be a genuine reformer, has been dismissed, and the vizirate for the second time abolished.
