formed, however, to ,Jefferson's wishes, and
took the gridiron pattern, but threw over it
the broad, transverse avenues, intersectng
the streets with variety of circles, open
squares and triangular reservations.

The grand councils that have convened here
Gnce were enacted then in miniature.
They built their bark canoes. caught
their fish, shot their game, and trapped their
beaver; while the women gathered the wild
rice, planted the cornfields, and stripped the
yellow husk. The men were the warriors
and the hunters of the tribes and the women
the conseryers of the industries.
They had their festive seasons, as do we.
With paint and plumage, beads and tassels,
they celebrated their war and green-corn
dances. Their chiefs of the feast were the
Princes of the tribes, who danced around
the fire-pots, giving stir to the savory
succotash, for hours at a time, until the feast
was on.
In the march of civilization the Anacos-
tians and the PoWtomacs faded away, but
left record of the tribes in the rivers that
bear their names-which enfold within their
banks the city of Washington.
When John Smith stepped from his boat
upon this goodly land the days were not
ripe for the new civilization, and he turned
his bark down the Potomac. The years

From this disturbance the people ava
kened TO the fact that the United States
Congress must have a settled place, and
where it would not be subject TO municipal
government. There were years of contro-
versy over the subject. 1t will be remem-
bered that the proposed site on the Potomac,
supported by many Southern members, was
repeatedly rejected.
In 1888 a location on the Delaware was
thought most desirable, and a commission
was appointed in 1884 to select a site upon
that river. The matter came up in the First
Congress under the Constitution, and the
wrangle increased with years. 1t brought
to the front the foremost men of the times.
Jefferson's statement has, through the
wears, been accepted as the true history of
the affair that ended in the Capital being
established on the Potomac. The North
favored the assumption of State debts and
the South opposed it, and as the vote stood
assumption lacked two votes. Hamil-
ton and Jefferson, who foresaw danger to
the new Union, knew a compromise must be
made, so each made a promise. Hamilton
was to help carry the Capital South and
jefferson was to get the required two votes
for assumption. Each fulfilled his promise.
White and Lee voted for assumption, and
thus the bill was passed. By the way, this
was a debt of honor. The States had
loaned the money to the Government to car
~ on the war. Twenty million dollars
went to the States where it belonged; Phila-
delphia was TO have the seat of Government
for ten years, and the Potomac site there
latter. By this bargain the bitternesses were
ended and the controversy came to amicable
settlement.
Congress, however, fixed absolutely no
definite place for the site of the Capital. It
gave TO the President the power to choose
any site on the Potomac River between the
mouth of the Anacostia River and the
| mouth of the Conococheague. In fact, he
had his choice anywhere for hundred
miles on the picturesque Potomac.
Even Oliver Wolcott said: In 1900 we
| are TO go to the Indian place with the long
name on the Potomac meaning Conoco-
cheague, which statement has led some
chroniclers Of history 10 make the misstate-
ment that Washington was once called
Conococheague.
The people are well satisfied with the rare
| Judgment of Gen. Washington in selecting
the spot where the Capital stands.

for the settling Of the colonies. 1t was a
century rich in events. Queen Elizabeth
had died and King James was on the
throne. 1t was century that produced a
Cromwell. William Ill, Louis XIV; a
century in which Milton dreamed of Para
disc Lost and Shakspere wrote his songs
immortal This was the century that gave
a new Nation to the earth.
In swaddling-clothes it was carried in the
arms of the mother country into another
century And then came the Revolution,
and the Continental Congress without a
home, an itinerant body moving from
place to place. as convenience or necessity
dictated.
During these years Congress held ses-
sons in four different States and eight cit
ies-New York, Philadelphia. Princeton,
Baltimore, Lancaster, York, Annapolis and
Trenton.
When sitting in Philadelphia bowling
mob of disbanded troops appeared at the
doors of Congress and demanded their pay.
Congress was powerless and the police were
unable to quell the mob, consequently Con-
gress adjourned to Princeton, N. j.
