THE MAKING OF
THE FIRST TREATY

The possession of the two Floridas.
That the Gulf of Mexico should be a
mere clausum. That, Louisiana being
hers, having been coded to her by
France in 1862, that both banks of the
Mississippi, as far north as the Ohio
river, should be hers. That all the
lands south of the Ohio, and west of
Georgia, should be subject to her con-
troll That all the back lands (Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Hi
nois) should be part of British Canada
In fact, that the United States should
be only strip one hundred and eighty
miles wide, stretching along the Allan
tic coast from Florida to Maine,
But, the schemes of men and mice
gang aft aglee."
Holland had war declared against
her on December 20, 1880, by England,
because she joined the Armed Neu-
trality;" because she dared to enter
into correspondence with America with
reference to making treaty, as found
by the papers taken with Henry Lau-
rens when he was captured at sea while
on his way as our minister to Hol-
land, by the English in 1880. For this
Laurens was condemned by the Eng
lish as traitor and imprisoned in the
Tower of London until exchanged for
Lord CORVALLIS in 1882. We owe to
Holland a debt of gratitude, for she
was the first country in the world to

1t is evident from the above that

Spain. But we shall see when and
where, and how and why Franklin,
! Jay and Adams broke the bonds.

! lions Of the various countries at the
| beginning of 1882, let US look into the
personality of the various commission
! ers engaged in the treaty-making as
| that is often a clue to the diversity
| of opinions, prior to the sequel of
their labors.
OF Benjamin Franklin, it is almost
superhuous to say that he was recog-
nized as eminent, scholarly, polished,
and one Of the first diplomats in Eu-
rope. He was very determined on the
fishery question, sincere hater of the
Loyalists, fair as to the debts due to
and by the colonists to foreigners, and
from his first entry into Paris in
1776, and through all the treaty nego-
tIations, persona grata, with Count de
Vergennes. By the English he was
called cunning, although Shelbourne
wrote to him: II have high opinion
of the compass OF your mind, of your
foresight, and of your integrity and
strict honor" Laurens wrote to Os-
Wald: DIR. Franklin knows very well
how to manage a cunning man, but
when the Doctor converses or treats
with man Of candor, there is no
man more candid"
John Jay arrived in Paris, Sunday,
23d of June, 1882, from Madrid. He
was courtly, polished, scholarly gen
tleman, determined diplomat, and
Immediately took a capable and eff
Gent part in the treaty making. He
was we'll liked by ALL
John Adams arrived in Paris, Sun
day, 9th of October, 1892 He was
equally scholarly and capable with
Franklin and Jay, but decidedly more
brusque and determined in his opin-
ions, on the various points, with his
conferees.
Adams was doubly odious to the
diplomats Of France and Spain be-
cause of his fearless iudeI Evidence OF
character, of the tenacity with which,
as New Highlander, he chung to Amer.
lean rights in Tie Newfoundland fish
cries, and because of his having made
a treaty with the Dutch without asking
the permission of those countries. He
sided with Jay in many things against
the opinions of Franklin, especially as
to signing the treaty without the
knowledge and consent of Vergennes.
Henry Laurens, an ardent patriot.
had been sent to Holland in 1878 as
minister to make a treaty, but was
captured on his way by the English,
together with his papers, on which evil
dence the English declared war against
the Dutch. He was imprisoned in the
Tower Of London, and was only
paroled in time for him to sign the

acknowledge our independence. April
10. 1882, and the first to make a treaty
Of "Anaity and Commerce" October 8,
1882. with US, through our minister,
John Adams, who wrote of the Dutch
at that time, Il love them, because
with all their faults and under all their
disadvantages they have at bottom a
strong spirit of liberty, a sincere af-
lection for America and a kind of ven
Grafton for her cause"
In the beginning of 1852, the United
States, from Maine to Georgia, was free
from foreign enemies, save New York,
Charleston, and few minor ports,
Spain controlled the Floridas. France
and Spain were possessed of nearly
every island in the West Indies.
Therefore did England make over
lures of peace to the United States.
The United States appoined on June
Is. 1881, as her commissioners to make
a treaty Of independence, amity and
commerce with England, Benjamin
Franklin, appointed September 26, 1776,
as minister to France; John Adams,
appointed January l, 1881, minister to
Holland John Jay, appointed Septem-
Der p, 1873, as minister to Spain, and
Henry Laurens, who was then in
prison in England, with the following
instructions:
CAS- the great object of the present
defensive war on the part Of the allies
is to establish the independency of the
United States, and as any treaty
whereby this end cannot be obtained,
must be only ostensible and illusory,
you are therefore to make it prelim-
mary article to negotiation that Great
Britain shall agree to treat with the
United States as sovereign, free and
Independent, and you shall not agree
to any treaty unless the same be there
by assured and confirmed.

a State Institution That Rock Island
Should Make n Bid For.


1t is proposed by the Masons of IL
linois to build a home in which the
aged and infirm members of the order
can spend their declining days. The
locality that is to secure the institu-
tion is expected to donate 20 acres of
land and give bonus of $1,000.
Here is matter that is well worth
the attention of Rock Island, for there
are desirable sites hereabouts for such
an institution. The building proposed
will cost about S25, 900, and would
bring small city to the place where
the home will be erected. There would
be an army of attendants and large
number of inmates to be cared for.
and the supplies used in the mainte-
nance of the home would be sold by
the merchants of the CITY.
