  • SELF-IPIEREST and SOCIAL CONTROL: Uitlandeet Rulx of JOHANNESBURG, 1900-1901
    SELF-IPIEREST AND SOCIAL CONTROL: UITLANDEEt RUlX OF JOHANNESBURG, 1900-1901 by Diana R. MacLaren Good government .. [means] equal rights and no privilege .. , a fair field and no favour. (1) A. MacFarlane, Chairman, Fordsburg Branch, South African League. At the end of May 1900 the British axmy moved into Johannesburg and Commandant F. E. T. Krause handed over the reins of government to Col. Colin MacKenzie, the new Military Governor of the Witwatersrand. But MacKenzie could not rule alone, and his superior, Lord Roberts, had previously agreed with High Commissioner Milner that MacKenzie would have access to civilian advisers who, being Randites for the most past, could offer to his administration their knowledge of local affairs. So, up from the coast and the Orange Free State came his advisers: inter alia, W. F. Monypenny, previously editor of the jingoist Johannesburg-; Douglas Forster, past President of the Transvaal Branch of the South African League (SAL); Samuel Evans, an Eckstein & CO employee and informal adviser to Milner; and W. Wybergh, another past President of the SAL and an ex-employee of Consolidated Gold Fields. These men and the others who served MacKenzie as civilian aides had been active in Rand politics previous to the war and had led the agitation for reform - both political and economic - which had resulted in war. Many had links with the minbg industry, either as employees of large firms or as suppliers of machinery, while the rest were in business or were professional men, generally lawyers. It was these men who, along with J. P. Fitzpatrick, had engineered the unrest, who formulated petitions, organized demonstrations and who channelled to Milner the grist for his political mill.

Calomiris and Gary Gorton 4.1 Introduction The history of U.S. banking regulation can be written largely as a history of government and private responses to banking panics. Implicitly or explic- itly, each regulatory response to a crisis presumed a "model" of the origins of banking panics. The development of private bank clearing houses, the found- ing of the Federal Reserve System, the creation of the Federal Deposit Insur- ance Corporation, the separation of commercial and investment banking by the Glass-Steagall Act, and laws governing branch banking all reflect beliefs about the factors that contribute to the instability of the banking system. Deposit insurance and bank regulation were ultimately successful in pre- venting banking panics, but it has recently become apparent that this success was not without costs. The demise of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation and state-sponsored thrift insurance funds and the declining com- petitiveness of U.S.

  • “The American Negro Exhibit” at the 1900 Paris Exposition
    Elisabetta Bini Drawing a Global Color Line: “The American Negro Exhibit” at the 1900 Paris Exposition On January 18, 1909, Thomas J. Calloway replied to a letter by W. E. B. Du Bois asking where “The American Negro Exhibit” was being stored, after it had been displayed at the 1900 Paris Exposition and, the following year, at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo and the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition in Charleston. Calloway, a long-time friend of Du Bois and Special Agent for the Negro Exhibit in Paris, reported that “practically all of the Paris Exhibit prepared by you is in tact [sic] and is stored in the Library of Congress. It is not displayed there and I am sure that the Librarian will not object to letting you have it”. Du Bois never claimed the exhibit he had worked so hard to organize and arrange, leaving all the material at the Library of Congress, where it had been initially placed by assistant librarian Daniel A. P. Murray, and where it remains to this day.1 Over the last ten years, scholars have devoted an increased attention to the study of “The American Negro Exhibit”, focusing in particular on its visual language and on Du Bois’s participation in it. This chapter analyzes an aspect that scholars have largely overlooked, namely the relationship between the exhibit and changing forms of African American activism. Drawing on a range of different sources from U.S. as well as French archives, I argue that “The American Negro Exhibit”, or, as it was called in Paris, “L’Exposition des Nègres d’Amerique”, represented a turning point in the history of black political involvement, at a national and transnational level.2 1 W.

  • “Foreign in a Domestic Sense” Hispanic Americans in Congress During the Age of U.S
    “Foreign in a Domestic Sense” hispanic americans in congress during the age of u.s. colonialism and global expansion, 1898–1945 On October 15, 1900, La correspondencia, a San Juan daily newspaper, described the qualities of a Resident Commissioner, a position recently created by the Foraker Act (31 Stat. 77–86) to provide Puerto Rico with representation in the U.S. House. The writer stated that such a “representative must be worthy of the trust of those he represents. He must earn that trust through his history, which is a record of the things he has accomplished for the good of the homeland, a justification of his intellectual qualities, a demonstration of his character, and evidence of his love of freedom.”1 Yet, the first Resident Commissioner, Federico Degetau, was not even allowed to set foot on the House Floor when the 57th Congress (1901–1903) assembled in December 1901. Many in Congress questioned the very existence of the position of Resident Commissioner and the ability of Puerto Ricans to participate in a democratic society. Many Members of Congress were confused by the island’s ambiguous position within the United States, classified as neither a state nor a territory. “Now, Mr. Chairman, Puerto Rico is either in the United States or out of it,” Representative Amos Cummings of New York declared during debate on the Foraker Act. “If the island is out of the United States, we have no business legislating for her here in any way whatever, and if she is in the United States, she is in the same condition as Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and the other Territories.” He concluded by suggesting facetiously that the Foraker Act “ought to be amended so as to be entitled, ‘An act to make a temporary purgatory for the island of Puerto Rico.’”2 The colonial conquests of the late 19th century, particularly in Puerto Rico and the Philippines, marked the first time the U.S.

  • October 1900 "Minor Musings"
