ADVENTURERS AND DISCOVERERS. The impulse of discovery was strongly prevalent along the sea-coast of the " known world " at the time Columbus conceived the project of proving the roundness of the earth. Yet it was not simply this which moved him. Beyond this there was a hope and ambition to find a water-way from Europe to the East Indies. And this seems to have been the ruling motive of many of his successors. Balboa missed it only by the width of the Panama Isthmus. The Cabots followed the coast line from Carolina to Labrador in the same vain effort. Hudson's hopes rose high when he sailed into his namesake river; higher still when he found himself within the broad expanse of Hudson Bay. But before Magellan was ready to cry " Eureka," as the current of a far south- ern strait washed his ship into the beautiful Pacific Ocean, both men and nations began to realize that this bootless ambition, though founded in ignor- ance and eri'or, had nevertheless served a purpose of good to the world. It had stimulated, as nothing else perhaps would, have done, the exploration and outlining of a New Continent. 1600—1732. THE COLONIES. Spain, following in tlie wake of Columbus' discoveries, occupied the West Indies, Mexico, and parts of South America, with Florida and California — very little else of United States territory. "Wherever they occupied, their impress is seen to-day. The French entered the St. Lawrence and followed it up to the great lakes', explored all the regions thereabouts, followed the current of many another river, and at last discovered the Mississippi's grand water- way. Hence their forts and the stations established by the Jesuit missionaries extended from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Between these two, the French on the north, and the Spaniards on the south, the English colonized at James- town, at Plymouth, in New York, etc., and as soon as they had gained a firm foothold ou the coast thev began to move westward. 173:>_1T75. THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR. Before the middle of the Eighteenth Century the French had formed a chain of forts or military posts from the lakes down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Determined to hem the British in on the coast side of the Alle- ghany Mountains, they proceeded to occupy the valley of the Ohio. The English, whose territorial claims almost invariably extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific, would not be likely to submit tamely to such restric- tions, although their outposts in that direction con.sisted solely in one fort at Oswego, on Lake Ontario, and a few scattered cabins in Western Virginia. The stubborn, characteristic assertion of British rights gave the impulse west- ward, and made inevitable the conflict between the frontier settlements of the respective nationalities. Hence the French and Indian War. This common danger united the hitherto independent and sometimes jeal- ous English colonies into a confederacy recognizing many common interests. Though England and France were nominally responsible in this war, of course the brunt of the fighting fell on the colonies. Each party in the con- test sought to enlist the friendship and secure the alliance of the native tribes of Indians, which made the war much more cruel and bloody than it would otherwise have been. 6 HANDY HELPS.

MATTERS OF INTEREST BEFORE CONGRESS. The financial depression, attributed by many to the Sherman Act, will de- mand first attention. Free coinage, silver standard, repeal of the Sherman Act, bimetalism, etc., are questions that will probably come before the extra session of Congress called for in August. Hawaian annexation is still an open question. The request for closer rela- tions to the United States came from a provisional government, and just how far this expresses the wish of the people has not j^et been satisfactorily demon- strated, and no permanent move can be made in the matter until it is. The Chinese Exclusion Bill stands before the public somewhat thus : 1868. Biirlingame Treaty between United States and China : Special provisions also stipulated for entire liberty of conscience and worship for Americans in China and Chinese in America ; for joint efforts against the Coolie trade ; for the enjoyment by Chinese in America and Americans in China of all rights in respect to travel and residence awarded to citizens of the most favored nations. 1880. In modification of the above: Article I. Whenever in the opinion of the Government of the United States the com- ing of the Chinese laborers to the United States, or their residence therein, affects or threatens to affect the interests of that country, to endanger the good order of the said country, or of any locality within the territory "thereof, the Government of China agrees that the Government of the United States may regulate, limit, or suspend such coming or residence, but not absolutely prohibit it. Article II of sam^e. Chinese subjects — teachers, students, merchants, etc. — and Chinese laborers who are now in the United States, shall be allowed to go and come of their own free will and accord. Article IV of same. If such measures as enacted are found to work hardships upon the subjects of China, the Chinese Minister at Washington may bring the matter to tlie notice of the Secretary of State of the United States, who will consider the suV)ject with him. 1892. Chinese Exclusion Bill passed by Congress: That from and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for any Chinese person or persons, whether subjects of the Chinese Empire or otherwise, as well as those who are now within the limits of the United States, and who may hereafter leave the United States and attempt to return as those who have never been here, or, having been here, have departed from the United States (save aud excepting only the following classes, that is to say, such Chinese persons as may be duly accredited to the Government of the United States, as ministers plenipotentiary or other diplomatic representatives, consuls- general, consular and commercial agents, including other officers of the Chinese or other governments traveling on the business of the Government, with their body and house- hold servants), to come to or within or to laud at any port or place within the United States, whether for the purpose of transit or otherwise, excepting the classes hereinto- fore specifically described aud excepted, from and after the passage of this act, be and the same is hereby absolutely i)rohibited. It is to be hoped leisure may be found in the near future to reshape the various treaties and acts in such way as will reconcile them one with the other, and with the requirements of international justice, without any sacrifice of tKt nation's real good. 48 HANDY HELPS.
