Jamestown Weekly Alert, Jamestown, 1885-10-22, p.6
Summary
An editorial brief in the Jamestown (Dakota Territory) Weekly Alert quoting the London Times to the effect that the government of Ireland "has passed or is rapidly passing out of the hands of her majesty's ministers." A small but telling marker of Irish Home Rule sympathy circulating in the Dakota frontier press in 1885 — the political weather the Dakota Irish (the milieu the Murphys passed through) were reading.

passed or is rapidly passing out of the hands of her majesty's
ministers."
