How Great
Struggle g5;iiz5z i
Was Wor1#
nLM

In 1765 the passing of an act of
parliament for collecting colonial
revenue by stamps caused general in
dignation and led to riots. The first
Colonial congress, consisting of %
delegates representing nine colonies,
made a statement of grievances and
a declaration of rights. The stamps
were destroyed or shipped back to
England. In 1766 the stamp act was
repealed, to the great JOY of the coll
onists; but the principle Of colonial
taxation was not abandoned and in
1767 duties were levied on glass, pa
pers, printers colors and tea. This
renewed attempt produced in 176S
riots in Boston and Gov. Gage was
furnished with military force Of 700
to preserve order and enforce the laws.
In 1773 the duties were repealed ex-
cepting a 3 pence pound on tea. 1t
was now a question Of principle, and
from north to south 1t was determined
that this tax should not be paid. Some
cargoes were stored In damp ware
houses and spoiled; some sent back;
in Boston mob disguised as Indians
threw It into the harbor.
Britain Sends More Troops.
1t was now determined to enforce
the government Of the crown and par
lament over the colonies; and fleet
containing several ships Of the line
and 10000 troops was sent to America;
while the colonists, still asserting their
loyalty and with little or no thought
of separation from the mother coun-
try, prepared to resist what they con-
sidered the unconstitutional assump-
tions of the government. Volunteers
were drilling in every direction and
depots of provisions and military
stores were being gathered. A small
force being sent from Boston to seize
one Of these depots at Concord, Mass,
led to what is called the battle of
Lexington, and the beginning of the
Revolutionary war, April 10, 1T75. The
British troops were attacked on their
return by the, provincials andi COM

a victory. After a winter of great
privations, the British were compelled
to evacuate Boston, carrying away In
their feet 1900 loyal families.

brothers and sisters, he is now brother
to every generous youth In the land.
Before, he was narrowed, appropriated,
shut up to you. Now he is augmented,
set free and given to all. Before, he
was yours; he is ours. He has died

heroes as 1t is Of an ancient hero, that
he did more for his country by his
death than by his whole life.'
And they can proudly prophecy with
the eloquent Henry Armitt Brown,
whose death at thirty-four was so
great loss to the Philadelphia bar
of a generation ago, In words which
he used in q centennial oration com
memorative of the assembling of the
first Continental congress in Carpen-
ter's hall:
"The American Union has endured
hundred years Here on the thres-
hold of the future the voice of human
ity shall not plead to us In vain. There
shall be darkness in the days to cpme

for our virtue, doubt for our faith,

his own state, Edward Everett, they
can apostrophize the flag
"All hail to our glorious ensign
Courage to the heart and strength to
the hand, to which in all time 1t shall
be intrusted! May 1t ever wave in

hope on the dome of the capitol, on
the country's stronghold, on the en-
tented plain, on the wave-rocked top

With Henry Ward Beecher at a
later date, they can stand beside the
graves OF their dead and take COM
fort from the truths that an enlarged
vision brings within their grasp:O
"Qh, tell me not that they are dead

| New Note

Celebration

Today there is new note struck
on the Fourth Of July. The old vic
tories Of the Revolution recede into
the dlmmest past; and poets who have
written, as did that patriotic son of
New Jersey, Doctor Thomas Dunn
English, Of how
There flows Assanpink: yonder Mon
mouths plain

Where startled Britons took their first

There is the Tory blockhouse on the ridge,

toms Bridge;
or, like Bryant, have sung how

When Marion's name is told,
will be the bards of ancient American
history--a history ever to be cherished
but no longer to fill the foreground
In the national annals. Even Gettys-
burg and Chickamauga recede, and
the bloody shirt, buried deeper than
ever plummet sounded, seem forever
incapable of another languid flap. New
triumphs. and new ideals fill the minds
Of the people who have in part at
least, realized the aspiration Of the
patriot who declared:
Our banner still defiance filings
To sceptered power and may not rest until
All peoples and all lands alike are free
From threat of princes and their brood
Of tyranny.
None the less, many of the old ex-
hortations still ring true. To the end
of time Americans can repeat the
words uttered by Daniel Webster, not
many months before his death, when
the republic completed its seventy
fifth year and the great orator entered
on his seventeen:
"This anniversary animates and
gladdens and unites al American
hearts. On other days Of the year
we may be party men, indulging in
controversies more or less important
to the public good; we may have likes
and dlslikes, and we may maintain our
political differences often with warm
and sometimes with angry feelings.

nothing but Americans. Ev-

PEELED to capitulate on Oct. II; and
England. in the midst of victories,
heard with dismay of the loss of an
entire army. The Americans gained
5000 muskets and a large train OF
artillery.
France recognized American inde-
pendence and sent large fleet and
supplies. of clothing, arms and NUM-
tions of war to their aid; and Gen.
Clinton, who had superseded Gen.
Howe, finding his supplies at Phila-
delphia threatened, retreated TO New
York, defeating the Americans at Mon
mouth. n. J.
Patriots Hands Strengthened.
Spain and then Holland Joined in
the war against England and aided
the Americans. But the king and par
lament were determined to maintain
the honor Of the crown and the In
tegrity of the empire. In 1850, S5,O0O'
seamen and $4,000 additional troops
were sent to America, and a strong
effort was made to subjugate the Caro-
liuas, where the war assumed q bitter
partisan character and was conducted
with spirit by Sumpter, Marion and
other southern chieftains. Lord Corn
wallis with a large army marched
from Charleston through North Caro-
the American general Gates. Worn
out with his success he arrived in Vir-
ginia where he was confronted by the
Marquis de Lafayette. In the mean
time Admiral de varney had arrived
upon the coast with powerful French
fleet, and 5000 soldiers, the elite Of
the French army, under Count de
ried from New York. CORVALLIS was
obliged to fortify himself in Yorktown,
blockaded by the feet of Count de
Grasse, and besieged by the allied
army Of Americans and French, waited
for Sir Henry Clinton to send him
relief from New York. October 10,
1881, he was compelled to surrender
his army of 1000 men-an event which
produced such change Of feeling in
England as to cause the resignation
Of the ministry and the dispatch OF
Gen. Sir Guy Carleton to New York
with offers of terms Of peace. The
preliminaries were signed at Paris
Nov. 30, 1852, and on Sept. 3, 1883,
England concluded peace with France,
Holland and America. The independ-
ence of each of the several states was
acknowledged, with liberal settle
ment Of territorial boundaries. In
April, 1888, cessation Of hostilities
had been proclaimed and the Ameri-
can army disbanded. New York,
which had been held by the British
through the whole war, was evacuated
Nov. 25; on Dec. a Gen. Washington
took leave Of his companions in arms
and on Dec. % resigned into the hands
Of congress his commission as COM
mander-in-chief.

The British govehment now put
forth a strong effort to reduce the
colonies to submission. An army of
$1,000, including 1900 German mer-
cenaries ("HessiansO, was sent under
command of Sir William Howe to put
down this wicked rebellion" The thir-
teen colonies adopted constitutions as
independent and sovereign states. On
June Z, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of
Virginia offered resolution in con-
gress declaring that "the united col
onies are, and ought to he, free and
independent states; that they are alb
solved from all allegiance TO the Brit
ish crown; and that all political con-
nection between them and the state
Of Great Britain is, and ought to be,
dissolved"
Birth Of Declaration.
This resolution, after an earnest
debate. was adopted by the votes Of
the delegates Of nine out OF the thlr-
teen colonies. "A committee consisting
OF Thomas Jefferson, John Adams,
Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman
and Robert II. Livingston was in
structed to prepare declaration in
accordance with the above resolution; !;
and the celebrated Declaration of In
dependence, written by Mr.. Jefferson,
based upon the equality OF all men
and the universal right of self-govern-
ment, and asserting that "all govern
ment derives its just powers from the
consent of the governed" on July 4,
1776, received the assent of the dele
gates of the colonies, which thus dis
solved their allegiance TO the British
crown and declared themselves free
and independent states.
Dark Days for Patriots.
After the evacuation of Boston by
the British, Gen. Washington, with
the remains Of his army, thinned by
the hardships of winter, hastened to
New York. On July Gen. Howe
being joined by his brother, Admiral
Lord Howe, and Sir Henry Clinton
found himself at the head of $4,000
men; defeated the Americans on Long
Island Aug. 81, 1776. compelled the
evacuation of New York and secured
possession Of its spacious harbor and
the Hudson river.
On Christmas night Gen. Washing
ton by crossing In boats among float
ing ice made successful night attack
upon Hessian force at Trenton and
gave new courage to the despairing
Americans, who recruited the army
and harassed the enemy with win
ter campaign.
In the meantime Silas Deane and
Benjamin Franklin had been sent to
France to solicit recognition and aid.
The recognition was delayed, but Inn
portant MD was privately given In
money and supplies, and European
volunteers-the Marquis de Lafayette,
Baron Steuben, Baron de Kalb, Kos
kusco and Pulaski--rendered the most
important services.
While Washington was contending
unsuccessfully against disciplined and
overwhelming forces in New Jersey,
