AMERICAN ANABCHISM.
We are in the habit of discussing
Anarchism in Europe and moralizing
mi it and its causes, forgetful of the
fact that we have in this country an
Anarchism which asserts itself more
boldly ihaii he Anarchism of Europe
Joes, for there it assassinates and
flees from authority, while here it de-
ence between the Anarchism of Eu
rope and this country is that while
the Anarchists over there have re
course to the bomb and the dagger
to carry oul their plans, the An
archists in this country proclaim boy
cotts and shoot down officers of the
Uw who undertake to interfere with
them. They call it striking or boy
cotting, but it is Anarchy just as
much as that proclaimed by the
bomb-thrower or dagger-wielder, the
difference between them being simply
a difference of methods in the agen
cies employed t enforce their con
tentions. Anarchy means rule without law,
Hie destruction of law, and ulti
mately the rule of the boldest or
strongest, for that is what anarchy
would eventually result in a despot
ism of brute force. Anything which
destroys law or denes it and over
rides it with brute force is anarchy
in all its essential features, whether
they who believe in this go so far as
to advocate and utilize the dagger or
the bomb or not. . ;
No reflecting person can Tor a mo
ment doubt that the spirit ot An
archism has made notable; progress
in this country wiiiiin-the past few
jears and that it has spread
vt-n to the rural districts where
iioyne would think of look
ing for it. We do not as
scit nor believe that every one
wno obeys the mandate of a presi '
(tent ot a secret organization, or of
a lieutenant acting under orders,
would, of his own volition, en
deavor to -bring on a condition of
chaos, but when any man surren
ders tits individual judgment and
his' freedom of action to the guid
ance or command of any body ol
mrn drawn together in a spirit of
antagonism to other bodies of men,
ne puts himself in the position to
become the pliant tool of designing
men, and of an arbitrary despot
ism which only needs a bold, and
resolute spirit- to make it fearful
I he rank and file of these striking
"uuies may not be Anarchists in in
tent, they may believe that they are
exercising a right which is theirs for
mutual protection, but we have not
the slightest doubt that the leading
sptms are all imbued with the spirit
f'i anarchy, and have caught much
of the contempt for law which they
display from communing with im
ported Anarchists and from studying
en uucinnes.

. The great strike is spreading East
ward and Southward and what might
have been checked and kept ' within
narrow bounds by firm and timely ac
tion has now got almost beyond con
trol, and where it will require extra
ordinary efforts to suppress it. In
stead of dealing with it resolutely in
the beginning the authorities of the.
pity of Chicago dallied with it while
tot strikers were every' hour becom
ing more assertive and aggressive,
encovfraged by the seeming indiffer
ence or the cowardice which feared
to speak out in a commanding voice.
These same authorities who now are
compelled by the frenzy of the mob
to take action which they ought to
have seen from the first was inevi
table, put on brave airs, talk about
suppressing the riot with an iron band,
and strut with assumed indignation
at the so called unwarranted inter-'
ference of the U. S, Government in
a family -row, instead of operating
with the U, S.- Government as they
should do. It is not a mere State
affair, for these strikers are making
war not only on the railroads enter
ing Chicago, but on the people of the
United States. : There is hardly a
family in the country which has not
felt ts effects more or less, already,
while the denizens of the large cities
in the West and in the North are de:
pendent to a large extent for the'
food they eat daily on the will of the
few man who are directing the
strike. Even the milk trains which
supply the inhabitants of these cities
with milk, run by permission of these
autocrats. In protesting against the
action of the United States Govern
ment to prevent thisv state of affairs.

ened starvation of cities, which
may be followed by the horrors of
conflagrations lighted by the torch
of the incendiary, it is the dema-l
cogue, and not the defender of btate
sovereignty,' who speaks. '
Republican and Populist dema
gogues are trying to make political
capital by charging all the distress in
the country, the industrial depres
sion through 'which we have been
passing, the embarrassed condition
ot the Treasury, the low price of
farm products, &&, to the present
Democratic administration, and the
policies inaugurated by it. But the
fact is that these are all an inheri
tance from the preceding Republican
administration; which is shown in
the following terse, comprehensive
extract which we make from the
Philadelphia Record, and which we
commend to those who are finding
fault with the Democratic party for
not doing impossibilities: I
For the fiscal year ended June 30
1891, the total revenue of the Govern
ment was $408,980,883. For the fiscal
vear ended Jane 80, 1894, the revenue
was $395.000,000 a falling off of over
$100,000,000. To better illustrate the
workings of McKinlevism the following
figures showing customs and internal
revenue receipts for the four past fiscal
years are given : .

It will be observed that while there
has been a falling off of over $97,000,000
in customs, there has been an increase
in internal revenue receipts notwith
standing the business depression. ' -1 '

ANOTHER A C. I TRIUMPH.
The Short-Cut Between Bernini and Den
mark Completed Qulckeat ZJne From
North to 8onth. '
The Colombia State ol yesterday gives
the following interesting particulars con
cerning the completion of the new Short-
Cat of the Atlantic Coast Liae :
Yesterday the following self-explana
tory letter was received by the State
Railroad Commission :
To the Railroad Commissioners of South
Carolina: j
We have finished laying the rails on
oar extension ot tne Manchester and
Augusta road, from Remini to Denmark.
We wish to open the road from Remini
to Orangeburg on the 15th instant. We
propose at present simply to run local
1 . .
freight trains. I will be glad if you will
appoint a day to inspect the road. Any
date that will be convenient to the com
missioners we will arrange for. .
1 . K. KENLY, Gen. Mgr.
The commission has not yet fixed the
date of the inspection. ,
The Coast Line commenced work on
this short cut last Winter. The com
u'etion of the branch means the forging
of the short link which was needed to
put the Coast Line system on a footing
with all competitors. It will greatly re
duce the run from North to ' South, and
divert from Charleston much through
travel from North to South. . The short
cut just completed starts from Remini,
in Sumter county, and runs via Urange-
nurg. where it I crosses tbe Colum
bia division of the South Caro
lina and Georgia Railway, to Denmark,
wnrre it connects with tne Au
gusta division of the same road and
the main line ot the Florida Central and
Peninsular for Savannah and the South,
The Coast Line people, if they arrange
with the F. C. & P. road to handle their
fast through trains from Denmark. on to
Florida and divert them over this route,
will perhaps have the quickest line from
North to South ever known. By tbe time
the winter business begins the matter
will have taken permanent shape.
The new line of road is a handsome
piece of work. The grading has been
done with unpsual care and the track is
beautifully surfaced.
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES-
Eleotion ot Delegates to the County Con
vention Wednesday, the 18th Instant.
The Democratic Executive Committee
of New Hanover county met yesterday
at noon in the court house in this city.
There were present Messrs. W. R
Kenan (chairman), Thomas Qainlivan,
Wellington Banks. Walker Taylor, John
D. Bellamy, Tri, E. G. Parmele, F. A.
Montgomery, L P. Walton and E. W.
Manning. ' j ...
Capt. Kenan called the meeting to or
der. He stated that he had a petition,
signed by a number of citizens, request
ing an early call ot the primaries, which
petition was presented by Col. Thomas
W. Strange and Capt. W. P. Oldham;
that he had stated to these gentlemen
that a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee had been called for Saturday, the
7th,-to issue a call for the primary elec
tion. '
On motion, reading of the petition
was dispensed" with.
(Jo motion, ; tbe secretary was in
structed to advertise a call for primary
elections, to be held on Wednesday,
July 18th, and the County Convention
on Saturday, July 21st following:
Voting places will be opened in each
of tbe several wards and townships at
6 o'clock a. m.. and will remain open
until 7 o'clock p. m., Wednesday, July
18th. and every Democratic voter resid
ing in said wards or townships who will
be duly qualified to vote, in the election
to be held in this State on the 6th day
of November next, shall be entitled to
vote at said primaries.
Every Democratic voter shall have
tbe right and privilege of voting for the
number of delegates to the County
Convention to which his ward or
township is j entitled, for five per
sons to constitute the Executive
Committee of his ward or township, and
also to vote for bis choice for the follow-

; It will be seen by reference to the offi
cial call, printed in the Star to-day, that
the Democratic xt c ative Com mittee
has taken a new departure as to the.
method of holding the primary elections.
For some reasons, the Star would
have preferred tbe old plan, bat a care
ful reading of the new one must lead
to the conclusion that on the ground of
absolute fairness there can JbeCno just
cause of complaint. Now, every Demo
crat in New Hanover can go to the place"
designated in his ward or township and
cast bis vote for the number of delegates
to which such ward or township is en
titled in the county convention. He can
also vote for the men of his choice for all
the county offices," for members of the
Legislature, and for members of t the
County Executive Committee.. -,
The polls will be open from 6 o'clock
a. m. until 7 o'clock p. m., giving every
voter ample time and opportunity for de
positing his ballot. There can be no fear
of "packed" meetings nor of "cut and
dried" resolutions, for under the "rftw
plan, there can be none. Every Demo
crat in the county can cast - his
vote, free and untrammelled, for dele
gates to the county convention, for
Sheriff, for Clerk, for County Treasurer,
for Register of Deeds, for members of
the Legislature, for Township Constable,
and for ward or township members of
the County Executive Committee, The
delegates elected will assemble in county
convention and ratify the action of the
people. This convention Will also ap
point delegates to the State, Congres
sional and Judicial Conventions.
Under the new arrangement the Demo
cratic party may be brought into unity
and harmony preparatory to the great
political battle to be joined in November.
Tbe Star urges all Democrats to go
to tbe primaries, to make a manly fight
for their favorites, and then submit to
the verdict of the people. 'r
THE SHOE-STRING DISTRICT. '
A Forecast of the Be alt for the Nomina
tion It la Baaed Entirely on Informa
tion Known to Be Sellable. '
In the Sixth Cqngressional District
the outlook is legs obscure than it was
ten days ago, and forecasts mayjiowbe
taken with some degree of correctness.
It would seem now that, although
Hon. S. B. Alexander has a consider
able following in some parts of the Dis
trict, the old two-term limit will be suc
cessfully used against him. , and that he
will be laid aside for a new man.
The fight between LeGrand and Mc
Neill has become somewhat acrimonious,
both being from the same county, and it
does not. seem likely to improve the
chances of either for the nomination.
Lockhart, of Anson, is making an
active canvass and will probably make a
fair showing on tbe first ballot. He will
be backed solidly by his own county and
will receive fractional votes from two or
three other counties.
But Bellamy's chances seem far better
than those of any other candidate. In
addition to the conceded fact that New
Hanover is fairly entitled to tbe nomi
nation, it is unquestionably true that be
is the second choice of a large propor
tion of the friends of the other candi
dates, and it is more than likely that on
the second or third ballot be will receive
votes frorq every county in the District.
His vote from Mecklenburg will be a
surprise to those who are not posted as
to the progress of the campaign, while
his support from the Wilmington end of
the "shoe-string" will be almost solid.
This forecast of the Star is based
entirely on its own information, received
trom tne several counties ot tne DiS'
trict, and it believes the result will show
that it is not far out of the way.
Maxton Against Baleinh.
Maxton, so long noted for the skill of
its checker players, is all excitement now
over a contest in progress between Mr.
A. F. Bowen, of Raleigh, and Mr. H. C.
McNair, of Maxton, for the-State cham
pionship. The former claimed that
honor, through the NewYo;k World,
and Mr. McNair challenged him. They
have been playing ten games by corres
pondence, but this series has not yet
been closed. '
Bowen! grew impatient, however, and
went to Maxton to spend "the Fourth,"
where he and McNair "stripped for the
fight" (metaphorically speaking, of
course,) and held an exciting contest
'across the boards." They played
twenty of the forty games agreed on - for
the championship, which resulted in a
victory for Maxton, the score standing
8 for McNair, 6 tor Bowen and 6
draws." The return contest will take
place at Raleigh soon.
The fact is all tbe McNair brothers
are "powerful shifty" on checkers, and it
would be hard to find three players in
North Carolina who can beat - Howard
C, Walter S. and Murphy McNair.
The Pythian Enoampment.
A Washington telegram says : An
estimate of the maximum number of
visitors to Washington daring the
Knights 61 Pythias Encampment in Au
gust has been placed at 150.000. . This
now appears to be a reasonable conjec
ture, as from a letter received by Mr.
G. E. Emmons, secretary of the citizens'
committee, Major General Carnahan re
ports that 11,650 of the Uniform Rank
have already applied for places in the
camp, and each organization will bring
from one to three bands.

A SOCIAL EVENT.

- Siar Correspondence
Point Caswell, July 8. The most
interesting social event at this place for
sometime was the .marriage in the Bap
tist Church on last Sunday night, the 1st
msuot Mr. Mat. Oswald West, of Wil
mington, and the much admired Miss
Julia Ann. daughter of the venerable
uamei Keuey. - , x ; - -
The officiating clergyman was Rev.
Frank W. Wooten, who united the couple
in the most impressive and affectionate
manner. They are now bound bv "the
silken tie which binds two willing
hearts." . i
The decoration of the church was of
the most tasteful and fitting kind, due to
toe ski in ul oversight of Miss Moliie Vol
lers, who, an accomplished, pianist, also
piayea tne wedding march with perfect
touch. The entire appointments were
without a blemish. The ladies, bride and
maids, were lovely (I m not "Jenkins'
enough to describe .their costumes), and
the ushers and groomsmen were - digni
ned. - The nsbers were: Cant. D. Joseph
Black and C Henry Zibelin. The at
tendants: Mr. Lewis Vollers, Miss Sal-
he Ward. Mr. Wash Malpass, Miss Kate
Sherman, Mr. John Sherman, Miss Hat
tie Malpass, Mr. Charles Wets. Miss
Alice Kelley.
After tbe services at the church, the
prominent actors returned to the "La
fayette" House, the late residence of the
bride, where, together with few invited
friends they enjoyed an excellent sooner.
i he following morning the couple left
quite early on the (Great Eastern) W. T.

much pleased with each other and "tbe

THE 34-PTJZZLE.
' m Wilmington, N. C, Inly 4.
Editor Star : In to-day's Star
under the beading of "The Latest Craze'
I see that the "34-puzzle" troubles the
brains of curiosity-seekers. I think that
you would confer, a great benefit on
your readers by informing them that the
solution ot the puzzle may be found in
the Encyclopaedia Britannica vol. xv, p
215. Do yon not think that the Chicago
inventor of the puzzle owes his "origi
nality" to this great work? It loqks
very much as if he had been plowing with
somebody s heifer.
