CLOSE OF 58th. CONGRESS
The 68th Congress passed in
to history twp minutes before
noon on March 4 th. 1905 after
a remarkable career as a legisla
tive body. Many were the im-
1 u. -i
fuimui taws mat vuugress
placed upon the. statute books,
and many were the laws it tried
to make and failed to agree up
on. But the going out pf the
last Congress was amid a cceue
of good fellowship without a
parallel in the history cf the
nation. When the last forma.
act had been performed' and the
house was only waiting the hsur
for the inaugural ceremonies to
be given in the Senate Chamber,
Mr Payne of New York, moved
that the House take a recess un
il 11 o'clock which was ' agreed
upon. Mr. Payne said, "lam
requested to give notice that
tbere will be a joint caucus of
Democrats and Republicans
beld immediately in this hall.
Mr. William Hepburn of Iowa
then arose and said, "The caucus
of the Democratio and Republi
can members of the fifty-eighth
Congress will come to order. I
am glad to recognize the fact
that tbere are occasions when a
mild type of a Republican like
myself (laughter) can be per
mitted to preside over a Demo
cratic caucus (laughter), aud al
so I am glad that there is an
occasion when I can ask the
distinguished gentleman from
Virginia, Mr. James Virginia
Hay. the chairman of the De
mocratic coinmitiee, to preside
over a Republican caucus." (ap
plause) '
Mr. Hay in taking the speak
er's chair said;" I suppose this is
the most unique occasion in the
political history of this country.
I do not believe there has ever
been a joint caucus of this char
acter before, and I certainly feel
that . I am peculiarly distin
guished to be called upon to
preside over it. The Caucus will
come to order. The gentleman
from Illinois is recognized."
Mr. Henry S. Houtell, in a
very pretly address among many
other things said; "The fifty
eighth Congress is rapidly ap
proacbiog its close. During its
three sessions the bouse has
considered and passed, in addi-

tiouto the great aupply bills, an
unusually large number of pub
lic measures of the first impor
tance' and far reaching influence
as well as way beyopd the aver
age number of bills of local in
terests effecting every congress
ional district in the country.
The measures Lave all been
considered with exceptional
candor and 'moderation, and the
entire business of the House has
been carried on without faction,
and in harmony, with the best I
thought with all the members
of the House of both political
parties."
At the close of Mr. Boutell's
address he presented , to the
Speaker of the House, Joseph G
Cannon, a loving cup procured
by the members for the occa

The prettiest speech msde
during the joint caucus was that
of Mr. John S. Williams of Miss
the Democratic leader -in the
the House, wherein he praised
without stint, Speaker Canonu.
After the speaker had been ap
