FIRST AMERICAN ANARCHIST.
Comes Few's Uprising to Overthrow
Government In Colon iaI Days.

Government In Colonial Days.
"aare is "A general impression that the
N. .cilist is a foreign importation, and
,aat Johann Most is the first of the An.
irci' ,Js Of this country. AS matter Of
'rt. lie first Anarchist in the United
Siat"e was an American of English an.
c-5,ry, and he lived very long while agc
Il. We Americans reckon history.
James Few was his name. He was
thri 'ty, industrious carpenter born in
South Carolina about the middle of the
ht,t century. His parents were simple,
honest people, and he was their only
child, As he grew up he became their
support. When James Few had grown
t. manhood there came new Governor
to the Colony of Carolina He was Gov
crnor Tryon.
He had a way of clapping on extra
taxes upon every pretext, which was
something the simple people of the COLI
ony could not appreciate In fact &c be-.
came very difficult for them to get
enough to eat, and drink was out of the
question if they were to pay the taxes.
Now, you may sometimes reduce mans
rations and he may not hurtfully object,
but wiseacres let mans propensity to

equals,

later great many Others, who did hnro
great deal of knowledge, agreed with
him and started the great revolution that
founded the United States.
Bat the first anarch went further. Tt
Gccined to him that law was the caus Of
al The trouble. He thought if all tho
governors were abolished the people
would get along very nicely by them
selves. They needed no government to
collect taxes; in fact there should be no
taxes He did not stop with thinking.
He talked to his companions at his work
bench until he had won over great
many of them.
One day friend of Governor Tryon'5
was brought before him accused of sew.
cral heinious offenses. The Governor
made farce of his punishment by ORDER.

penny for each offense. This was the
last straw. The good loyal people be-
came indignant James Few and his
companions felt that the opportunity had
come to test their theory. They armed
themselves and set about capturing tho
Governor. But rumor of the proposed
uprising reached the capital Summary
measures were taken. The troops were
called out and the followers of James
Few fell like the summer grass. James
Few himself was captured and without
even the farce of trial was hanged to o
forest tree.
The people at once dispersed, but the
seeds OF the great revolution were sown,
and few years later grew up and over
turned the old form of government
But poor James Few was not the only
one who suffered from his unselHsh
desire to help his fellows. The little
property which his domestic virtues had
enabled him to accumulate was confis-
Gated and his aged parents were obliged
to end their days in an almsbouss.

The people are greatly interested to
know what tue Democratic party will do
when it moves in. Nobody is more
concerned than some Of those who
voted the Democratic ticket.
On one hand We have assurances that
they will not do much and what they
do will be done gradually. MIR. outh-
waite, who ats up in the amen corner,
says OF course they will put tin plate
and raw materials on the free list, be-
cause tin plate cannot be made in this
country and it is Democratic policy to
admit raw materials free. In the
Democratic economy wool, coal, lumber,
iron ore, salt. are the rawest OF raw
materials.
The Louisville Courier Journal, in an
article which must be from Mr.. Waiter
sons pen because it speaks Of "the
painted harlot of protection" says: at
ends forever all disputes among Demo-
Gratis about tariff policies. 1t is an an
nouncement to America and the world
that the government OF the United
States has at last stepped out of the
depths OF the bondage OF protectionism
and upon the broad, open highway of
free trade with all mankind"
And then we have the New York
Euning Post, another of them, saying:
"The people have pronounced against
1icKinleyism and in favor of tariff re-
form with an unmistakeable voice. The
Democrats are obliged to obey the man
date they have received, to the extent
of the means placed in their hands. If
injury then comes to the business of
the country they must take the conse-
quence."
This is encouraging. We shall have
to wait and see.

letter from Hon. Thomas E. Davis, say
ing that he has no personal regret over
his defeat; that he prefers the quiet Of
his home to the cares of public life; but
that, being commissioned by the Re.
publican party, he did all he could for
success.
The INTELMGENcER voices tho party
feeling when it says that nobody could
have done better. No other man could
have polled more votes. Mr.. Davis
made a dignifiod, effective campaign,
won the regard of all who met him and
LAID his party under lasting obligation
for the sacrifice he made.
If he had been elected governor the
state would have had reason to be
proud OF his solid ability and rock
ribbed integrity. In the governors
chair he would have justified every
hope as lie has vindicated to the full
the wisdom Of his nomination.

Under constitutional amendment
Kansas is to have leGalized saloons in
certain places, and business under the
new order has already begun. The
change of policy recognizes fact, and
this fact is that immense quantities of
intoxicants were sold in spite of the law.
1t is eleven years since there was a
lsgalized saloon in Kansas. 1t cannot
be shown that the sale otliquor in open
violation of the law has been a moral
gain to the state. Doubtless this is
why public sentiment has taken the
other tack.
