  • The January 1901 Special National Convention of the Social Democratic Party of America by A.S
    The January 1901 Special National Convention of the Social Democratic Party of America by A.S. Edwards 1 (January 26, 1901) The special national convention of the Social Democratic Party of America, which opened in Aldine Hall, Chicago, at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, January 15 [1901], was attended by a larger number of individual delegates than the convention at Indianapolis last March [1st: March 6-9, 1900]. The principal object of the former gathering was the nomination of Presidential candidates; that of the present one to dispose of the question of the consolidation of the socialists of the United States.2 For nearly a year, during which the campaign prosecuted a national campaign and found its resources taxed to the utmost in discharging its duty to the cause of socialism, it has found itself harassed by persistent misrepresentations of the attitude of its members toward the question of union with the Rochester faction of the Socialist Labor Party and a few bolters from its own ranks. The officers and members of the party have never been opposed to union os socialists; they have stood almost solidly against the surrender of the Social Democratic Party organization to the control of those who, by methods now familiar to and condemned by the socialists of the country generally, sought its destruction. The convention just held was a complete and splendid vindication of the course pursued by those in temporary control of the party’s interests, in local branch and national board, and the inspiriting outcome of the four days’ deliberations, marked by the truest devotion, tolerance, and comradeship,3 is that the Social Democratic Party is on record not merely for union with a faction which has attempted to destroy it, but for a consolidation of all the organized socialists of the country, whether constituted as national parties or in isolated state and territorial organizations.

  • The Evolution of Australian Citizenship*
    One Hundred Years of (Almost) Solitude: the Evolution of Australian Citizenship* Helen Irving On 1 January 1901, six of the Australasian colonies joined together in one ‘indissoluble federal Commonwealth’, as the words of the Preamble to the Australian Constitution put it. Massive celebrations accompanied the inauguration of the Commonwealth. They were repeated for the opening of the First Federal Parliament four months later, and again, around the new nation, for the tour of the Duke and Duchess of York that followed. The celebrations stretched over the first six months of that year. There were parades, banquets, picnics, sporting competitions, exhibitions and historical re- enactments. Streets were decorated, poems were composed, songs were sung, medals were struck, prisoners were pardoned, and fireworks lit again and again. What was being celebrated? Among the many other achievements of that day, Australians who read their newspapers learned on 1 January 1901, that they had become Australian citizens. It was a rather curious claim to make. There had been an attempt in 1898 to write a definition of citizenship into the Australian Constitution, but it had failed. Although the delegates to the Federal Convention laboured long and hard in their effort to say just what it was to be a citizen—traversing legal and political rights, as well as cultural attributes—the Constitution’s framers could not settle on a definition. * This paper was presented as a lecture in the Department of the Senate Occasional Lecture Series at Parliament House on 22 June 2001. Legally, Australians were British subjects, not citizens. To use the term ‘citizen’ meant going beyond this simple fact.

  • Fact Sheet 2 the FIRST COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENT
    Fact Sheet 2 THE FIRST COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENT 1901 FEDERATION AND ’S VOTE THE PEOPLE Overview 1897-1903 Once the Australian Constitution had been accepted by voters in the Australian colonies and enacted as law by British Parliament, the process of putting the new system of federal government into practice began. The Australian colonies were now States of the Commonwealth of Australia, and the office of Governor- General represented the reigning monarch of Britain as Head of the Commonwealth. The first Governor-General of Australia, Lord Hopetoun, proclaimed the Commonwealth of Australia at a special ceremony in Centennial Park, Sydney, 1 January 1901. It was also the Governor-General’s task to commission an interim or caretaker ministry until the Australian people were able to elect their representatives to the newly created Commonwealth Parliament. These interim ministers, with Edmund Barton as Prime Minister, were sworn in as part of the inaugural ceremony at Centennial Park. Over the next 1891 first Constitutional Convention to draft months they organised the first federal election and made a federal constitution arrangements for the opening of the first Commonwealth 1893 Parliament. first ‘people’s convention’ at Corowa 1897 The first federal election delegates elected to a representative Constitutional Convention On Friday 29 March and Saturday 30 (in Queensland and South Australia) voters took part in the first election of 1898-1900 referendums on the Constitution representatives to the Parliament of the Commonwealth of held in all colonies Australia.

  • Presentations
    Presentations Race, nation, and Empire Australian attitudes to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, 1902–23 Steven Bullard Introduction The story of Australia’s attitude to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance from 1902 to 1923 is one filled with uncertainty and contradiction. On the one hand, the alliance provided a guarantee of security for the new nation, as demonstrated, for instance, in the actions of the Japanese Navy as an alliance partner during the First World War. But for much of the period in question, many in the Australian government, the military, and the broader public considered their alliance partner to be the main threat to the future peace and freedom of the country. Compounding the uncertainty many in Australia felt with regard to Japanese intentions was the unflinching efforts of the Government to ensure the dominance of the British race in this far-flung corner of the Empire. This was nowhere more evident than in Australia’s restrictive immigration practices – the so-called White Australia policy. For this reason, this paper examines the history of Australia’s attitudes to the Anglo- Japanese Alliance through the lens of the interconnected issues of race, nation and empire. On 1 January 1901, the separate colonies of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia federated to form the Commonwealth of Australia. Assisted immigration policies that favoured the “mother country” over much of the previous century meant that the majority of Australians in 1901 had familial ties to the British Isles. An historian writing in the pre-World War II era noted that while Australians might have described themselves as ‘independent Australian Britons … among the Australians pride of race counted for more than love of country’.1 Even with these imperial attachments to the mother country, Australians had realised by the turn of the Twentieth Century that they had a set of vital interests different to Britain.

Marquess of Linlithgow Hopetoun House South Queensferry Lothian Scotland EH30 9SL National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973, 1980, 1983 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John Adrian Louis Hope (1860-1908), 7th Earl of Hopetoun (succeeded 1873), 1st Marquess of Linlithgow (created 1902), was born at Hopetoun House, near Edinburgh. He was educated at Eton and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, but did not enter the Army. In 1883 he was appointed Conservative whip in the House of Lords and in 1885 was made a lord-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. In 1886 he married Hersey Moleyns, the daughter of Lord Ventry. In 1889 Lord Knutsford, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, appointed Hopetoun as Governor of Victoria and he held the post until March 1895. Although it was a time of economic depression, he entertained extravagantly, but his youthful enthusiasm and fondness for horseback tours of country districts won him considerable popularity. His term coincided with the first federation conferences and he supported the federation movement strongly. In 1895-98 Hopetoun was paymaster-general in the government of Lord Salisbury. In 1898 Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, offered him the post of Governor-General of Canada, but he declined. He was appointed Lord Chamberlain in 1898 and had a close association with members of the Royal Family. In July 1900 Hopetoun was appointed the first Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. He arrived in Sydney on 15 December 1900 and his first task was to appoint the head of the new Commonwealth ministry.

  • Glenn Brown and the United States Capitol by William B
    GLENN BROWN AND THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL BY WILLIAM B. BUSHONG HE most important legacy of Washington architect Glenn Brown’s prolific writing career was his two-volume History of the United States Capitol (1900 and 1903). Brown’s History created a remarkable graphic record and comprehensive Taccount of the architecture and art of the nation’s most revered public building. His research, in a period in which few architectural books provided substantive historical text, established Brown as a national authority on government architecture and elicited acclaim from Euro- pean architectural societies. The History also played a significant role in shaping the monumental core of Washington, in effect serving as what Charles Moore called the “textbook” for the McMillan Commis- sion of 1901–02.1 Brown’s family background supplied the blend of political aware- ness and professionalism that inspired the History. His great grand- father, Peter Lenox, supervised construction of the original Capitol Building from 1817 until its completion in 1829. His grandfather, Bed- ford Brown, served two terms in Washington, D.C., as a senator from North Carolina (1829–1842) and counted among his personal friends Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Franklin Pierce, and James 1 Charles Moore (1855–1942), chief aide to Senator James McMillan (R–MI) and secretary to the now famous Senate Park Commission of 1901–02, commonly referred to today as the McMillan Commission, made vital contributions to the administration and editing of the influential 1902 planning report that subsequently shaped the twentieth- century development of the civic core of Washington, D.C. Moore later became chairman of the United States Commission of Fine Arts from 1910 until his retirement in 1937.
