It is not unfrequently the case that

REED TO THE LAST.
Few Kind Words for the Democratic
Side of the House.

In closing the House Speaker Reed
said
"After two long and stormy sessions,
in some respects unparalleled for Il
Numbered years, the House OF Repre-.
1entatives of the Fifty.frst Congress
will soon pass with the completed re-
cord into the history OF the country,
and its works will follow it. What
we have done is in large measure
political. Whatever is political rouses
the sternest, most turbulent, most un-
forgiving passions of the human race
Political action can never be justly
iewed from a near standpoint. Time
md distance are needed for ripe judge
nent and he verdict o. history is the
'nly verdict worth recording. To state
in language which would seem to me
adequate, the achievements OF the
House would not be suitable to this
time or this place nor is it in the
east needful that | should now rekin-
lie the old disputes or fan the dying
mber5 or struggles past and gone.
Whether we have disposed of the
questions OF finance with the wisdom
# broad craftsmanship time will sure
Y show. Whether in the things we
rave done or the things we have at
tempted flr the furtherance OF hu
nan liberty, that we were actuated
" nigh and honorable motives will be
visible to all the world at no distant
lay. Our actions need no catalogue
md all enumerations and praise by
ourselves would be in vain. II our
leeds do not praise us our words can
rot. Confident as | am OF the verdict
t time on what we have done, ! am
st Ii more confident that the highest
'ommendation will be given us in the
uture, not for what measures we have
Iassed, valuable as they are, but be
'ause we have taken 80 long stride
IN the direction Of responsible govern
nent. Having demonstrated to the
people that those who have been elect
ID to do their will can do it, hence
forth excuses will not be taken fo
performance and the government b.
the people will be stronger in the land
Towards those who have opposed
what the majority Of the House have
desired, we can have no unkindly o.
personal feeling; whoever offers bat
tie to the convictions and faith mos
expect battle, and the vigor OF resist
4nce must always bear some proper
tions to the vigor OF onset. To thu
members on my left with whom l an
politically associated, / beg to tender
my most sincere acknowledgements
No man ever received more ungrudg
ing and unflinching support or iron
band more patriotic. l am proud +
acknowledge in all that has beer
done have been but one in a multi
tude and that the honors OF the Fifty
first Congress belong to you alone
l now declare this House to-day I'd
journed without day.
