A few pleasant recollections of the fifty-fourth Congress

A few pleasant recollections of the fifty-fourth Congress

A large group of members of the Fifty-fourth Congress are pictured. Many are dressed as natives, with some wearing grass skirts. Most are armed with spears or clubs, while some have shields. Four are reading the “Reminiscences of John Sherman,” one turns the crank on a spit where John Bull is being roasted, and Thomas B. Reed is standing on a platform on the left. A statue labeled “Jingoism” appears at center. Grover Cleveland appears in effigy with several spears or arrows stuck in him. Joseph G. Cannon sits on the floor on the right.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lincoln Steffens

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lincoln Steffens

President Roosevelt writes journalist Lincoln Steffens that the striking down of the Santo Domingo treaty by the Democratic caucus in the Senate is a betrayal to the American people and done only to serve the interests of a small faction. Roosevelt believes they are more dangerous than politicians beholden to corporations. Roosevelt responds to allegations by Steffens that he did not do enough to get results by saying he has gotten closer to what he wanted than other politicians.
