State Pressure
Brought on Congress.

Deals and mandates of the Congress met
with a favorable or uufsvor;Ible response
largely in accordance with the views of
the respective states as to their own in
tereSts. and where state and federal in
terests cIashed, the attitude toward the
Congress by state authorities was of such
a character that if the fed aral govern
ment should continue as d guest OF any
one OF the states. it was apparent that
the Congress would be subject to eX-
tremely disagreeable local pressure. This
unsatisfactory outlook was emphasized
when dissatisfied soldiers of the Pennsyl-
vanA line-that is. the Penns ylvania con-
tingent of the Continental army-threat-
ened personal injury to members OF Con-
gTeSs then in Philadelphia unless the
overdue pay accounts OF the soldiers We're
settled.
The state authorities Of PENNSYLVANIA
were unwilling to take any action until
violence had actually been offered the
members of Congress, who, in the alb,
sence of u federal force for their protec
ton, were compelled to leave the city of
Philadelphia in an Undisniticl manner.
For various reasons the Continental
Congress lived a wandering life. Mill
tary operations had twice compelled it to
leave Philadelphia removing on the first
oc' aston to Baltimore, and OF. the second
to Lancaster, Pa. and then II Yorktown,
returning to Philadelphia, wi eUCe it was
driven by mutinous soldiers il June. 11S5.

in Princeton: then adjourned To meet in
the statehouse at Annapolis, where Wash

The FEDERAL CITY.
Why Washington Was
Founded.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

The city Of Washington, the capital of
the United States of America is not
only the, most beautiful city of the west
oru world, is not only intensely interest
ing on account OF its status as the CEN
ter of american politics. but it is unique
in its history. II is the largest purely
artificial city of the world. having been
founded solely as 4 seat Of government
and without regard to any of the
economic laws that have built up other
cities.
1t is the province of this series OF ar
ticles to toll something of the history
of Washington, especially with respect
10 those things that ditferentiate it from
the ordinary American city. As Wash
ington is the capital of the nation, every
American is in theory citizen of
Washington. although to thp actual
residents of the federal city thu suffrage,
Of citizenship may be denied.
The three coordinate branches of the
government of the United States are
located in a single city Washington, u.
g.. OVER which Congress has exclusive
legislative control. This was not care
fully planned incident OF a system of
government constructed wholly on
I'hiIosophic basis Like o-h"r provisions
Of the Constitution of the inlted States,
the idea of Il federal city did not spring
from theoretical hut from practical
necessity.

words. the Nationalist and Ulstermen
would be left to fight out the question OF
