Directory notes on Congress and its members in 1884
Washington correspondence reviews the Congressional Directory for the new Congress. It profiles members from Skinner to Mahone, notes ancestry and wealth, and contrasts old political norms with modern lobbying, bribery, and decaying chivalry. It also surveys anticipated tariff reform measures and committee activity as the session opens.
