The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-01-18

There were in round figures 5000
whites, 200 free colored and less than
900 slaves. The value of the deerskins,
lead, etc. shipped TO New Orleans in
1893, amounted to S13.116.
On October /. 1900, the important
treaty of San lidefonso was concluded
between the king of Spain and the first
consul of France, Napoleon Bonaparte.
AS this belongs to the class of secret
treaties and did not take effect, so far
as it related to Louisiana, until the fol-
lowing March. it's considerations relates
to the newt administration. Although
this was Il treaty in which we had no
hand or part, it undoubtedly essentially
modified the history of this republic
Spanish procrastination would have
postponed our crossing the Mississippi
to a later date.
1t is matter of general regret that
the materials for the history of upper
Louisiana are so meagre in extent.
The well and favorably known John
f. Henderson. of Missouri, has eX-
pressed the opinion that the Spanish
archives ana the official records of the
chief officers at ST. Louis would prove
to be the best sources of historical in
formation But these formal documents
would hardly be suitable or adequate
for popular narrative. There has been
a failure somewhere to collect and pre-
serve the facts relating to the many
interesting incidents and events that
must have happened during the Span
ish occupation of so large a domain.
During the commandantship of Zenon
Trudeau, which ended in 1890, immi-
grafton was wisely encouraged: fur
trading was extended far into the in
terror and far up the Missouri and st.
Louis was made more attractive by
newer and better houses and other
structures. Commandant Delassus, who
followed Trudeau, was a high-tone
gentleman by birth md breeding. and
favored WhateVC. !:?easures tended to
promote the permanent welfare of the
people and their province. Down to the
end of John Adams administration,
March 4, 1901, upper Louisiana was ex-
empt from all the disturbing agtations
the threatened mvasions, the old and
new world complications. which kept
the lower province in a continuous fer
ment. And those whose lives partook of
the serenity of the forest primeval,
happily escaped the ason-and-repu-
misunderstanding partisan strifes rag
ing in the new republic, whose en-
tremes We're measured by the eXclama-
tions of Hamilton and Macon on the
death Of Washington: America has
lost her Savior--I a father!" and, II am
glad he is dead. We could not pull him
down." The alien and sedition laws;
the Kentucky resolutions of '9S: the
Mazzei letter and the peace negotia-
tons with France are even now too hot
and explosive to handle.
