tive body in those stirring times, was
meeting In Philadelphia, the city hav-
ing been evacuated by the British.
Upon the worried, wearied fathers of
our government, the hungry soldiers
vented their pent-up wrath In hostile
demonstrations.
Congress Asks Protection.
"The Congress was affronted. 1t
called upon the city and State to insure
protection from future intimidation.
But the guarantees were not forthcom-
ing, and the Congress, In deep humil1a-
ton and chagrin, moved TO princeton,
N. j.
"The Philadelphia mutiny left a deep
and burning impression upon the minds
of that Congress. The records OF the
time contain innumerable references 10
the need for the protection OF the ma.
tional legislature. Speeches for several
years after the occurrence TEEN with
sdmonitions to Congress that it make
itself secure from further molestations.
This attitude was prevalent when
the trainers Of the Constitution met
and incorporated into that great I'M
mortal document q clause relating to
the establishment Of seat OF national
government, expressly providing that
CONGRESS- should have exclusive Juris"
diction over the Federal district.
"Of course, there were q number OF
considerations involved In the mVestl-
ture of Congress with these powers one,
cited bv Madison in the Federalist, be-
ing that the Federal Government should
be absolutely independent OF the State
or territory in which the Federal city
would be situated.
"Now. there is no intention on the
oart ~ anv of ia To contend that Cong
ress should not maintain and exercise
this right of exclusive jurisdiction. But
It IA useful to discover how considerably
the state of mind evoked by the Phila-
delphia mutiny influenced Congress to
assure itself of independence and pro-
lection by that potent clause.
ut is well that all the people should
know that Congress has had complete
authority over the District since De-
cember, 1900, when Washington for
mAlly became the home Of the national
legislature. The last presidential cleo
ton In which the residents of the Dis
trict as such, voted. was In November.
1800---and the voters cast their ballots
as citizens Of Maryland and Virginia.
Cry for Vote h Raised.
"Since that time, the cry for national
representation has been raised almost
continually. There is no valid argu-
ment against It. Surely, no one seri-
ously would charge that Congress would
be liable to molestation II the District
were given representation In Congress
and the electoral college. Few, indeed.
would have the hardwood to conjure up
the ghost of hostile demonstrations to
persuade Congress that 100000 persons

Acknowledgement from the people Of
the Nations Capital.
Searching among our historical
documents, dating from the dawn OF
the Tineteenthe century, It Is apparent
political status Of the District in some
degree from the beginning, when the
population should have become SUM-
GENTLY large.
"But even though the District in
1900 had population Of only 1908,
Of whom 2,072 were slaves. this would
scarcely seem to justify Congress in
placing this comparatively small num-
Der of American under what amounted
to q benevolent vassAldom.
ut cannot be said now that the Dis
trict has not attained adult status. It's
population Is greater than that Of seven
States, which are represented in Con-

an even larger number Of Representa-
tiveS in the House.
