pulling down 95 and Heikes 81. The
contest was witnessed by an aggre-
cation of 1900 people.
Elliott, the winner of this contest,

sated by political and personal

the judge was concerned before

THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN
EXPANSION.
The history of American ex-
pansion is we'll and clearly told
with satisfactory particularity
of detail in book recently pre-
pared and published by Binger
Hermann, commissioner of the
general land Office, under the
title of ..The Louisiana Pur-
chase /" Few who have not been
close students of American his
tory know that when James Mon
roe joined Robert r. Livingston
at Paris to treat with France for
the purchase of part of Louis
ana and the fullestexten of their
instructions was to secure the
control of that small part of it
east of the Mississippi. near its
mouth, on which New Orleans is
situated. Jefferson had instruct
ed them to offer $2,000.000 for
this small tract Of land During
their negotiations they were met
with the blunt proposal of Ma
poleon to sell to the United States
the whole Of Louisiana, which
France under q secret treaty had
recently acquired from Spain, as
Spain thirty-eight years before
had acquiredit from France. The
price finally agreed upon was
S11.25O, 600 in United States 6
per cent. bonds. while in addition
our government assumed the
payment of certain debts which
France owed our own citizens
amounting to So, 100000, making
$15. .OO0, 900 in all.
Small as was this sum for q
vast domain of 1913, 553 square
miles-but one-forth less than
the whole domain of the United
States east of the Mississippi
the price was regarded as lex
travagant by some of the anti-ex-
pansionists Of that day. Senator
Pickering. of Massachusetts and
Senator Tracy. of Connecticut,
denounced the purchase and the
proposed incorporation of the in
habitants of the .ceded territory
into the Union as unconstitutional
Even a constitutional amend
ment would not legrlize it.
The only way in which it could
be done was by the universal
consent of all the states. Repre-
sentative GrisWOld. of Connecti.
cut said it was inconsistent with
the spirit of the republican insti-
tutions. He clearly foresaw
''that the dispersion of our popu-
lation and the destruction of that
balance which is so important
between the Eastern and West
ern subersion of our Union. :"
Senator Plumer of New Hamp-
shire took the same view.
Representative Griffin feared the
effect Of the vast extent of our
empire. He feared .'the effects
of the increased value of labors,
the decaease in the value of lands,
and that the Eden of the New
World would prove q cemetery
for the bodies of our citizens. "
Senator White of Delaware,
whose lugubrious prophecies we
quoted the other day, added that
''even supposing it desirable
acquisition, fifteen million dol
lars was a most enormous sum to
give.
These gloomy fore odings read
curiously in the light Of subse-
quent history. The Louisiana
purchase embraces the entire
