CONQUEST OF THE NORTHWEST.
IT Was Acquired From the British BY
Force of Arms.

1t Was Acquired From tho British by
Force of Arms.
In 177G, when Independence was de-
clared, tho United States included only
the 13 original states on the seaboard.
With the exception of few hunters,
there were no white men west of the
Allegheny mountains, and there was
not even an American hunter in the
great country out of which we have
since made the states of Illinois, Indi-
ana, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. All
this region north Of the Ohio river then
formed part of the province of Quebec.
1t was q wilderness of forests and
prairies, teeming with game and inhab-
tied by many warlike tribes of Indians
Hero and there through it were dot
ted quaint little towns of French creoles,
the most important being Detroit, Vim
cenncs, on the Wabash, and Kaskaskia
and Kahokia, on the Illinois. These
French villages were ruled by British
officers commanding small bodies of reg
ular soldiers or Tory rangers and creole
partisans. The towns were completely
in the power of the British government.
None of tho American states had actual
possession of foot Of property In the
Northwestern territory
The northwest was acquired at the
time of the Revolution only by armed
conquest, and if it had not been so ac-
quired it would have remained part of
the British Dominion of Canada
The man to whom this conquest was
due was famous backwoods leader, q
mighty hunter, noted Indian fighter
George Rogers Clark. He was q very
strong man, with light hair and blue
eyes, Of good Vlrginian family, who
early in his youth. embarked on the adj
venturous career of bacl1woods survey
or. exactly as Washington and SO many
other young Virginians of spirit did at
that period He travelled out to Ken
tucky soon after it was opened up by
Boone and lived there for year, either
at the stations or camping by himself in
tho woods, surveying, hunting and MAX
ing war against the Indians like any
other settler. But all the time his mind
was bent on vaster schemes than were
dreamed Of by the men around him. He
had his spies out in the Northwestern
territory and became convinced that
with small forco of resolute back
woodsmen he could conquer it for the
United States. When he went back to
Virginia, Governor Patrick Henry en-
tered heartily into Clark's schemes and
gave him authority to fit ont force for
his purpose. -Theodore Rooeeyelt in ST
Nicholas.

AN INCIDENT RECALLED.
President HarrisOn's Original ST.
Ience on the silver Question.

From the New York Post.
Washington, Nov. 21.-The controversy
which has sprung up in the New Eng
land newspapers over the reference in
Senator Sherman'sl book to President
Harrison's lack of boldnes in tackling
the silver heresy and throttling it at the
outset, recalls to the minds of some OBJ
servers in Washington who were here
during the first session of the Fifty
first congress an amusing passage in re-
partee which occurred between Harrison
and Speaker Reed, and which was care
fully kept out of print Some one who
was calling at the white house in the
midst of the struggle in congress over
the Windom-Sherman silver BILL Incl
dentally mentioned some criticism passed
by the speaker on the President.
why doesn't he come here and say
that to me?'' Mr.. Harrison snapped out
in his testy way. MIR. Reed has not
been inside Of the white house in a good
while.
When this remark was reported in turn
to Reed, he drawled out, in mild sar-
casm:
i haven't had time to go to the white
house; I've been TOO busy at the capitol,
free coinage bill, which 1t might en-
barrass our. good republican President
to dispose Of"
This was, of course, carried back to
Harrison, who retorted with some
warmth:
you may say to the speaker for me
that / am very much obliged for this
consideration, but he need not waste
time throwing life-lines in my direction
