THE OMAHA DAILY BELE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 THE SIDE LIGHTS OF 1787, The Proceedings Which Led to the Adoption of the Corstitution, SOME IMPORTANT HISTORY. Prayer as a Panacea for Conflicting Views of Stateamen—A Paper of Peculiar Interest in View of the Centennial Celebration, From the Philadelphia Times: The personnel of the convention which framed the constitution of the United States con- sisted of sixty-five members, of which number, ten neyer attended. The largest number 1n any one delegation was eight from Pennsyleania. Virginia had seven, New York sent but three after a stubborn contest. The smallest delegation was two from New Hampshire, two not attending. Rhode Island made no ap- pointments. The members of the con- vention best known in history are Georg Washington, James Madison and Ed- mund Randolph, of Virginia. Benjumin Frankhin, Robert Morris and Thomas Mifflin, of Pennsylvama; Alexander Hamilton, of New York; Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts; Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth, of Connecticut; William Patterson, of New Jersey; George Read and Gunning Bedford, of Delaware; John Rutledge, Charles Pinckney and Pierce Butler, of South lina. e Although the convention was called to meet at Philadelphia, May 14, 178%, it was May 25 before a quorum of th e appeared. But nme states out of the twelve, Rhode Island having ignored the convention entirely, and but twenty- nine out of the attending membership, were presen organization. The only state represented by its full delegation at the opening was Virginia. Of Pennsyl- vania’s eight but four appeared in the organization, Dr. Franklin, one of the number, being ill. % . The tardiness of the members of the convention in getting together was not redeemed by any very emphatic pressions that they expected that tl work would amount to anything afte was all done. Having spent one hun- dred and fiftee days in conven- tion or committee as one of the ery last acts of the body. President shington having asked what the con- yention meant should be done with the journal, it was resolved “that he retamn the journal and others papers subject to the order of congressif ever formed under the constitution.’ resident of cony Washington, of Virg Frankhn, of Pennsylvania, Dr. was to have made the nomination of Washington, but being i1l Robert Morris did so in behalf of the deputation. John Rutledge seconded the motion, apologiz- ing for not making some observations on the subject on account of the pr Gen Washington, The choi unanimous. He was escorted to the c! by Mr, Morris and Mr. Rutledge, and opened the deliberations with an appro- priate speech, There were two candi- dates for secrctary. ‘Temple Franklin was nominated by Mr. Wilson, of Penn- sylvania, and Major Wilham Jackson by lexander Hamilton, of New York. The former received the votes of two and the latter of five states. A committee on standing rules and orders was appointed which were adopted three days after, One rule stands in contrast with the par- liamentary courtesy of these latter day congresses. It provided “when the bouse shall adjourn, every member shall stand up in his place until the president pass him.”" 1In these modern days rep- resentatives and even senators cut for the doors without even waiting for the formal announcement of adjournment by the presiding ol]iger. e As the convention had originated from Virginia, that delegation took the initia- tive in opening the business of the meet- ing and proposinga form of government, wfiich was nlnnc y Edmund Randolph, subsequently Washington's attorney gen- eral and secretary of state. In introdue- ing the subject Mr. Randolph suggested that in revising the federal system four considerations were paramount, viz., the properties which such a government ought to possess; the defects of the confederation; the dangers of the situation of the ~ govern- ment 1n its relation to the states and the remedy. He then elaborated his views under each of these heads and proposed, as conformable to his ideas, a series of resolutions which he explained one by one. 'lhese resolutions formed the em- bryo from which developed the constitu- tion of the United States. They had in them the frame-work of a supreme gov- ernment, composed of three co-ordinate branches—legislative, executive and judi- clal—with defined powers and duties. He closed by urging that the present op- portunity should not be lost, » On the same day ‘Charles Pinckney, of South Carolina, submitted a draft of a federal government, which was an elab- oration of the plan proposed by Mr. Randolph, On the next day, the fifth of the meeting, the convention went into committee of the whole *'to cons state of the American union,’ discussi each of the propositions of M dolph, which were called ‘‘the Virgini plan,” The very opening of the debate, strangely enough, was on the question ox state rights, introduced by South Caro- lina, declaring that its deputies would not feel authorized to discuss a system not founded on the federal constitution, Pennsylvania contended that in all com- munities there must be one supreme vower, that a federal system was a mere compact resting on the good faith of the parties, and a national supreme govern- ment had a supreme and compuls operation. New York, i Virginia and North Curolina, i S cipient movements, held to the national system. * e After nearly three weeks' discussion the deputations, or part of their mem- bers, of Connecticut, New York, New JurseY and Delaware, led by New J!‘l‘w‘l‘f‘, submitted what they designated a purely foderal system, ns contra distinguished from the one being considered, which became known as the ‘‘New Jersey plan.” Counecticut and Lansing, of Now York, who was chosen & deputy as a check to the vigorous ideas of Hamil- ton, favored adding some additional powers to the old coogress instead of a new government. New Jersey and Delaware opposed a national govern- ment because proportionate represen- tation of the states its At one time this question thr ened to break up the convention. Virginia plan originally contemplated the election of the senate” by the people in proportion as to the number of “‘free inhabitacts,” The lower branch, or house, was to be elected by the senate out of a certain number of individuals nominated to them by the legislature of the state. This contest led ulti the compromise of equal represe! of states in the senste and proportionate in the house. One of the most charac- teristic features of the two systems was the Virginia plan of removing the execu- tive by impeachment and conviction, with the safeguards against partisan ex- cess, and the New Jerscy plan pro- ,rollng the removal of the president upon he simple “‘application of a majority of the Executives of the States.” Ac- \bat plan the Prosident would he be at the merey of every change of party denomination in the States, r. Lans- ing, of New York, who belonged to that class of early politicians known in these days as a Bourbon, denied the power even of the convention to discuss the Virginia plan, and urged the improba- bility of its adoption. Hamilton, of New York, now came forward as a cfmmplon of a national system. He however, went to the extreme of a centalized form. Among his ideas was the apointment of Governors of States by the President, and the power of veto of acts of State Legislatures, He favored the English model adapted to Republican forms. * #*e The entauglements of discussion and divergence of views had become so i that Dr, Franklin, eviewing the melancholy proofs that their delibera- tions were given of the imperfection of human wisdom, proposed a season of prayer and suplication as a motor to the throne of the *‘Father of Lights” to illuminate their understandings. He re- verted to the beginning of the contest with Great Britain, when, sensibl their danger, they had daily prayer. that room for divine protection. Ham ton thought it was rather late 1n the da *0 talk about introducing prager, wh would look as if the embarrassments of the convention and not the merits of the vroposition had led to its adoption. Hugn Williamson, of North Carolina, in- terjected as a fact that the omission was not due to an unappreciative sense of the cllicacy of prayer, but to want of funds, Edmund Randolph, in order “to give a favorable aspect to the measure,” pro- posed asermon at the request of the con- vention on the anniversary of independ- ence and thenceforward prayers to be read every morning, which was sec- onded by Dr, Franklin. The convention, however, adjourned without a vote on the motion, *"e The convention then turned from prayer to proportional representation with fruitless results for several more weeks. There was now serious talk on the purt of the supporters of the New Jersey plan of Breaking up the conven- tion by adjournment sine die. As the anniversary of the natal day of indepen- dence drew near the differences of the convention seemed to multiply. The con- lict between the great and the small states had culminated. The convention was at a full stop. Notice had been served that no modification whatever could reconcile the smaller states to the least diminution of their equal sovercighty. The states were equally di un!’ on an equality of votes in the second branch of the legislature, ‘The question of compromise was referred to a committee of a member from each state, and an adjournment for inspiration n over the celebration of the anni- versary of independence. ‘The motion of Dr. Franklin, giving proportional repfe- sentation 1 one branch and an equal vote of states in the other, at last pre- vailed by a bare majority, but it removed the most dangerous of “all the questions which agitated the convention. On July 27 the proceedings of the convention, ex- cept as related to the executive, had gone 80 far as to be referred to a committee to prepare a draft of a constitution. Another thrml-nix‘l‘g aspect of affairs turned on the creation of an executive to consist of a single person, mode of elec- tion and term of oftice, which, however, was ultimately adjusted in a spirit of compromise. It was as late as August before the committee on details were able to report the constitution. In this draft provisions were made for a supreme leg- islative judiciary und executive and cov- ered the main features of the constitu- tion as finally adopted, » The friends of u foderal system by dila- tory methods ngain attempted to trus- trate the progress of business, The ques- tion of naturahzation elicited stubborn debate. South Carolina was opposed to admutting foreigners into the public councils at all, Jumes Wilson, of Penn- sylvania, cited his own state as proof of the advantage of encouraging emigra- tion. ing the youngest state except Georgia it was among the foremost in population and prosperity; that almost all the general ofticers of the Penn- sylvania line in the war for independ- ence were foreigners, and Robert Mor- ris. Mr. Fitzsimmons and himself were not natives. A lively discussion sprang up on the exclusion of members of state legislatures from holding oflices under the Unitea States, Mr. l{uudulph op- I“m.d inviting men into the legisiatures y the prospects of bemg appointed to oflices. Mr. Baldwin, of Georgia, argued that such on exclusion would not leave proper men for oflices. Colonel Mason, of Nirginia, replied that, instead of ex- cluding mernt, the ineligibility would *'keep out corruption by excluding oflice- hunters,” e The dawn of triumph now appeared over the deliberations of the convention of 1787, On September 8 Dr, William S. Johnson, of Connecticut ; Alexander Hamilton, of New York; Gouverneur of Pennsylvania; James Madison, ginia, and Rufus King, of Mas- sachusetts, were elected to revise the style and arrangement of the articles agreed to. On September 10 their power were increased by authority to prepare an address to the lpuoi:ln to accompany the constitution and to be laid with the same before the United Stutes in con- gress. On September 12 they reported to the convention, **% Mr. Randolph was obposed to the in- definite ana dangerous power given to congress, was pained to differ at the close “of the great and awful subject of their labors’ and favored a second con- vention for amendments offered by state conventions after the 1deas of the ‘people were use ned. Colonel Mason and Mr. Gerry supported this position, but the better sense of the convention pointed out the dangers of hazzarding the dis- cordant impressions of the people in a second convention, which might plunge the infant state into an ‘‘ultimate decis- ion by the sword.,”” On the proposition to provide for a second convention all the states voted no. On the question to agree to the constitution us amended all the states voted aye. The constitution was then ordered to be engrossed. * The next day was Klondny. September 17, 1787. The engrossed constitution was read. Dr. Franklin arose with a written speeeh, which his colleague, Mr, Wilson, read. He confessed to objections to cer- tain features, but was not sure that he should never aYpro\'u them, and after a stirring appeal hoped that every object- ing member would with him “doubt little of his own infallibility” and make manifest their unaninuty by putting their names to the instrument. He then moved that the constitution be signed by the members and offered as a form: “Done 1n convention by the unanimous consent of the states present, ete, In witness whereof we have hereunto sub- seribed our names.” This ambiguous form was arawn up by Gouverneur Mor- ris, of Pennsylvama, and given to Dr, Franklin to gain llm.llisscn\inx mewmbers. s George Washington, president of the convention, at this solemu moment arose. It was the only time he entered atall into the discussions. It was to advocate a l»rupusmun just made by Nathaniel Gor- ham, of Massachusetts, to substitute 80,000, instead of 40,000, as the quota of original representation. He apologized for offering his sentiments, but thought that the smaliness of the proportion of representation, which had’ been consid- ered by manyias an insuflicient security for the rights andinterests of the people, which appeared to himselt among the - exceptional parts of ' the e M the plag,. and Bt was_ for mitting amendments, ‘it would give him much satisfaction to sce it adopted.” Without a dissenting voice this knotty problem,which had consumed weeks of discussion and fever heat of feeling, upon the simple wish of Wash. lnglzlon was granted and the last act of deliberation of the convention of 1787 had been consummated. Randolph apologized for retusing to sign it because of the alternative which it presented to the people. Hamilton was anxious that all should sign it; although most remote from his own ideas, yet it was possible to deliberate between anarchy and con- fusion on ‘one side and the chance of good on the other. 0 M On the motion of" Dr. Franklin to sign ten states represented voted aye and South Carolina voted no on account of the equivocal form of signing. New York did not vote, Hamilton being the only deputy present, but he signed the consti- tution, being the only name from the now empiro state of the Union. s The constitution was signed by all the forty-three members “present, except Randolph and Mason. of Virgi , Gerry, of Mussachusetts, and Ellsworth, ot Connecticut, declining. As the last members were appending their names Dr, Franklin, Hoinllng to a picture of the back of the president’s chair, ave often and often, in the course of the session and the the vicissi tudes of my hopes and fears as to to i looked ts at that sun behind the dent without being able to tell whether i was rmsing or setting, but now, at length, I h: the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a settin sun.” RanvoLrn Keiw, —— BLUE GRASS FOR KANSAS FARM The Only Salvation For Those of Mod- erate Means, Meadow Brook Farm (Kan.) letter to the Chicago Tribune: While Kansas is pre-eminently a corn-producing state, while oats and the native grasses on the bottoms and in the wet seasons on the high lands are a certain crop, it is never- theless apparent that Kansas cannot de- end npon either or all of these crops for uture success in agriculture. It is quite true that in the native grassesevery prai- rie state has still a source of great wealth which has not been appreciated or un- derstood. [hat the plow has been put into ‘this precious primeval sod most recklessly and to the general hurt, that in the prairie grass lies the chief de- pendence of the farmer for his stock in summer, especially in seasons of drouth, in the middle and western parts ot the s.ate, and every farm should reserve a good share os area sacred to the preservi- tion of the natlve grass for stock in July and August, vet it 1s true that Kansas must in future depend chiefly on the tame grasses, and especially blue-grass, as in Kentuck 50 famous for its herds and 1ts wealth, Nature pro- vided well enough for the buffalo, but man must provide something better for the domestic animals. The buflalo went south in winter; the domestic herds cannot migrate, but must remuin, On what shall th eed? The an is blue grass. Prairie grass dies and is worthless at the touch of frost. Yet it stands the hot winds and sun better than any known grass. It lives and grows green and fre drouths, where all tame grasses wither and become worthless. ~ But the rainfall is becom- ing more uniform and certain as the vast plains are settled and nuciel of moisture are established in the shape of artisian and other wells, groves, cultivated fields and growing crops, and the danger of domestic grasses drying up in summer becomes less and less every year. If the blue-grass is not overfed in the summer, but left to grow five or six inches high and become a solid and com- plete sod by years of careful pasturing, it stands the summer heat and drouths very well. The blue grass starts and becomes greener in spring much earlior than the native grasses, and in fall grows most Inxuriantly from September to the middle of November, and, in fact, all winter, unless the ground is frozen solid. It furnishes the best kind of winter feed for all kinds of stock; cattle, horses, and *hogs thriye better on it than on the usual cut and dried feed obtamed at such severe labor and high costs. Kansas farmers now ‘‘put up” prairié¢ hay, which, with corn, constitute the almost umversal winter feed for stock. The crop is cxpensive to raise and uncertain. The chea -fed stock of the great ranches renders it impossible for the small farmer to compete in rais- ing beef or horses successfully with the ranchmen by feeding in ter hay and corn. He can no longer live in Kansas and pay expenses by so domg. The only financial salvation for the moderate farmer is blue grass. If he will g s farm well sodded in the grass and depend upon it for winter feed he will be able to compete with the western ranchmen, and in no other way can he doso. The Kansas climate and soil are ad- mirably adapted to blue-grass. 1t is making its way steadily from the Mis- souri river westward almost without help or much appreciation. Thoughtful farm- ers are beginning to see that in the blue grass wlll be found the coming wealth of the state. Probably Kentucky itself is no better adapted to it than Kansas. Corn cannot be raised for 15 to 20 cents per bushel. At present prices it is ruin- ous to feed it to cattle fgr beef, At $3 per hundred for logs it cannot he used to feed them in winter and to fat- ten them in summer, at any profit. The entire s{stum of westerm farming must and will-be soon radically changed, or it will be very largely abandoned. At pres- ent the small farmers are the poorest class in the country. Burdened with debt, eaten up by interest, working six- teen hours out of the twenty-four, living on the cheapest possible fare, selling their crops at tho prevailing low prices, they are well-nigh bankrupt and dis- couraged, They must abandon grain- raising, put their land into blue-grass sod, stop buying reapers and thrashing muchines, stop building corn cribs and granaries, stop feeding rats and railroad robbers, let the cmhu do the mowing and reaping in winter as well as in summer, winter the steers, colts, pigs, and sheep on a thick mat of blue-grass, and they will be the richer for it.
