Congress, - then " sitting in Philadelphia, was heckled -ahd. in- sulted immediately after the -Revo- lution by the unpald troops. - Con- gress forthwith moved to Princeton University and there passed & 'Teso- lution to erect buildings for the use of Congress on either the Delaware or_Potomac River. It was this unpleasant experience with the soldiery that is responsible for the decree which makes the Fed- eral City the one place’ under the Stars and Stripes where the cifizens have mot the right to vote. The fa- thers were (earful that the military then prodomlnant in the Government might capture Congress and coerc its_actions. The land—10 miles square—was purchased as a_ site. for the Capital City from four planters—Young, Cul roll, Davideon and Burns. Washhig- ton himself laid out the-city, and called to his assistance in. dvafting the plans a brilllant young enginear, Maj.

He visioned and charteéd a great world capital, far beyond the immedigte needs or even seeming possibilities of those days when the | heart of the present metropolls vwasg nothing but a guagmire of mud. He designed “a city of magnificent dis- tances.” Fully 120 years ago Baron Hum- boldt, standing on the west balcony of the Capitol Building, was .en- thralled at what he described as “the most beautiful ‘view of its type in tie world.”, R The ‘mudhole has been davelopsd, into a great world center of finandes, of, bysiness, of art, of educatlon and culture, of sclentific knowledge, -of research,. of . bumanitarianism; - 6f religious devotion, of legislation.
