' ' Aparos understood Carteret's new charter literally,' as it read, and acted as if he had' peen bidden aririui the right of Sir George's governor to gov ern. He saw to it that the New Jer sey towns should get as little com fort out of the resumption of their sep arate government as possible. At first he contented himself with col lecting customs duties at the New Jer sey ports as well s at New York for the dukes revenues; but when Bir George Carteret died, In January. 1680, he went further. He challenged Phtlh) Carteret's authority outright, accused him Of acting without legal warrant with the Duke of York's patent, "to the great disturbance" oP his majesty" subjects," and, when he would not yield, seized htm, deposed him from his government by force, apd himself assumed the authority! of governor In the isew Jersey towns, -fne next year, l8i, saw uarteret upnem ano reinstated arid Andros rebuked ;by of' ficial letter out of "England ,and the discredited soldier went home to give his account of ihe affair. East Jersey was to have quiet again for a little under new proprietor. The King's hew grants made of New Jersey, not sjpgle provincej as ..be fore, put two distinct proYipces, ,ijja,8; Jersey and West Jersey. Both provinces prospered. $Iany so? tiers preferred ' tpe jerseys to New York. There was less taxation mere, and less interference with merchants' dealings. Saw mills arid Iron mills were set up; tar, pitch, apd turpen t'lne' were shipped in pacing quanutles from the pine forests; wnares.caught upon the very coasts, yielded rch sup plies of oit aridwhalebone: and the Jerseys riiade ready to be las: forward as any other colray jn gYowth' and selt support. " The democratic government of wen Jersey, the humane clemency of Us laws, the full freedom of religious be lief allowed to all comers, and all the features of liherality and tolerance which drew settlers to the Delaware were due In no small degree to th? presence of Influential Quakers among Its proprietors. Among the rest was William -renn, a man i wuupti ive schemes of proprietorship in America were to receive a new dignity, and a touch almost of romance.

Within but a little more than a sin gle yiear of his coming. Mr. Penn could poast, I have led the greatest colony into America that ever any man did upon a private credit, and the most prosperous beginnings that ever were in it are to be found among us." By loss there were more than 7,000 set tlers there. The chief town of the province was established at the confluence of the, two une rivers ueiaware ana scnuyi kill, and Mr. Penn named it Philadel phia, wish it to be a place of peace and good will. By the end of tha year 1683 there were no fevfer than 150 dwellings built frail and " cheap enough, no doubt, but sufficient until stone and brick could be had, and time In which to build with fhera. The change came very soon. Before Mr. Penn sailed for borne, in 1684, there were already 350 houses erected, some of them several stories high, built wUh cellars and decorated with bal conies. Outside the central town. with its busy 2,000 001001,818, tljere were quite nrty pamiets in turning province. Government did ,not go quite so easily after Mr. Penn returned to Eng land. The government was liberal in all' things, and vera 'simple'' in its rriake-iip-Hipon the farplliar model of deputy governor, council, and assem bly. For one thing, 'ft. kept peace with the Indians as Its "neighbors tould'notj The Quakers everywhere seemed io' win the Confidence of the redmen up on the Instant, as Roger Williams had won it, whose doctrines and principles of life were so like their own. .They won it by loving justice and keeping faith, and Mr. penn sat them an ext ample" which neither they nor any pthers who heard of it were " likely to forget. ' He scrupulously purchased the l,and he occupied (f its ' native owners. The New Enslanders had' sought' tp be Just with the redmen: but the Quakers sought to add a gen tle kindness to jiistlce, and ' their peace ""was more lasting ''then that of the English In the north. "Colonel "Demean, the new governor of 'New' York, had been instructed to play -a very different role in the Inter national government of his province from that which Andros had played. Despite the very liberal measures adopted and the sound public spirit shown by the duke's governors hith erto, t was pot in English pature to be satisfied 'tor .twenty years together without such an assembly to speak and act for the people as every other colony naa, norm ana soutn. nimt rihatlc protests and a strong appeal crossed the sea close upon the heels of Sir Edmund Andros in 1681 speak ing not so nitich discontent with the duke's governor as a firm and rooted objection to the form of government: which the colony now seemed entitled to say that it had outgrown; and the duke thought it wise to yield. 1 Colonel Dongan oame In, In August; 1683. Instructed to appoint a council apd call an assembly; and byi October New York had a goyernmept like that of her neignpor cionves. o tax or imposition was to be laid or law made except by act of assembly and that looked like privilege enough. The new governor, too, might well be to the mind of air who liked candor and capacity. He had the blithe humor of its race and "was a man to approve and relish as a comrade; and yet his firm purpose and clear eye Ip all points of action made him also a man to re spect, obey, and follow! And then, when all things seemed settled, of a sudden the whole sky changed, because In February, 1685, Charles II died, and the duke reigned in his stead, as James H. The same year Louis XIV of France, revoked the great Edict or isanies, wroaa-a the Protestants their worship in his kincdom. arid so drove fifty! thousand of the best people of France sSoldlers, men of letters, crausmeo, aruifcqra forth from the land they bad enrich ed, to make Holland, JJnglapd, Bran denburg, and America so much the better off for their skill and thrifty Industry. . r It was a brief reign enough. James ran pis course of tryanny with a sort of bitter haste, and bad finished the mad business before the fourth year of his rule wai ended. By midsummer, 1688, those who.-were ready to - risk their lives and fortunes or England's constitution bad urgently prayed Will- lam, Prince or orange, to come into England, put James from his throne, and save their liberties, William was husband to Maryv James' daughter; was a Protestant, a statesman, and a man of honor. He came with an army at his back. But it was not necessary to conquer 'England. She knew her straits and .was ready and glad to receive him. James miserably fled; the Parliament accepted his flight as a voluntary abdication; and the throne went by act of Parliament to William and Mary. For the northern colonies In Amor ica those four years had meant a memorable change of government, as ill to live under, almost as the tryanny in OSngland. For a little while after the loss of her charter In 1684 affairs had moved on smoothlvi and without serious incident in Massachusetts, tho half-heartedly enough, It was plain under a provisional government, wait ing to see what the crown would do. The death of King Charles delayed a settlement; but James, when he came to the throne, very promptly showed what be meant to do. He re solved to put Massachusetts and tho colonies lying Immediately about her into the i hands of & royal governor and an appointed council, without an assembly or any other arrangement for a participation of the people in the management of their affairs. At first (May, 1686) he named Josepli Dudleyt "President of the Council for Massachusetts May, New Hampshire, and Maine, and the Narragansett coun try, or King's Province," but gave him no authority to alter law or Impose taxes. But that was only a tempor ary arrangement. The real change came with the arrival of Sir Edmund Andros, in December, 1686, to bo 'GovernorCeneral and Vice-Admir al"; and Plymouth was added to lil.-t government. He was bidden appoint persons of the best character and estate to his council, and to disturb the existing law of the colonies as little as possi ble; 'but he was also commanded to allow no printing press within his jurisdiction; to Insist upon a univer sal toleration in matters of religion especially upon the encouragement of tne worship of the Church of England: and to execute with vigilance and vigor the laws of trade. He was glv en, too, a small number of royal troops for his support, whoso red coats were sadly unwelcome in Boston. Worst of all, he was authorized to govern and to lay taxes without an assembly The next yiear after Andros' coining (1687) he turned upon Maryland. Now York and Virginia were already prac tically his own, to deal with as he pleased. The same year Andros wort to Boston, Governor 'Dpngan, of New York, was instructed to forbid the popular assemblies granted but three years before. He was commanded too, as Awiros .was, "to allow no no prlptlng press." James meant to be master everywhere, and to permit not so much as' a word of public com ment upon whit bis servants did; and all America felt the change. Boforj the first month' of his administration was over Andros, acting upon lh King's Command, bad dissolved the government pf Jthode Island, and as sumed' control Of, its affairs. The next year 'he did the same In Connecticut and in 1688 New York and the Jerseys were pomldally added to his govern ment, Francis Nicholson acting as bis deputy there. THE COMING OF ANDROS. Happily the new tryanny had no longer .life In America than In Eng land. It came promptly enough to its end 'when the news reached the coloples of James' disgrace and flight and 'William's coming. The Boston people rose, as If by a common Instinct: seized Andros and his officers; seized the fort; seized even the King's frigate lying in the harbor; and resumed their Old gov ernment under their old magistrates, tp a.walt further things from ovet sea."" ',: "' The other colonies round about fol lowed suit. Sir Edmund had got him self well hated. 'He was an honest, well-meaning man enough, a ' nlatn and not ' very quick-witted soldier who executed his orders quite literally; but be was ar bitrary and harsh, and showed some times n unwise and ugly temper when he was opposed. And the order? he tried to execute w'ere intolerable to the people of the once free colony he governed. JHe levied taxes by the authority of (he crown; he demanded quit-rents of all the "land owners of the colony. because the loss of the charter.be was told by the law officers in England, de stroyed the right of the colonists to the land they acquired unaer it; ne forbade even the ordinary town meet ings; arid e sought to crush opposi tion by "harsh punishments. Tp these 'puritans It was no small oart of the trying experience that he encouraged isome to set up a society to worship after the manner of the Church of England, and use the hated prayer book; and that in 1688 the Episcopal congregation thys formed built a place of worship, which they called Kins s Chapel, in Boston. It was a happy day when they got rid of the hateful tryanny; ana an assurance of better times when tbev Dreseritlv learned that the new gov ernment at home approved what they . 1 iV;' . 1 lilt-... Un .a nail ann. ana were wiwuk iuim- should send Sir Edmund and his fel low prisoners to England for trial. ' The action of the people was no less Prpnipt and decisive in xew orn. James' own province. ' Francis Nicholson, Andros' deputy in New York and the Jerseys, was as little .Iked there as -Andros him RAif vu in Boston. Both he and the members of his council, because they supported him. were looked upon as tools pf papist king, and New York waa Diifr.h and Protestant. "The 'two regiments of the King's regulars Sir Edmund had brought with him upon his second coming out, to' be zovernor of all the northern coast, and Nicholson had come out as commander of one of them. Tp the uneasy suspicions of the critical Pro testants of the HtUe seaport, affairs wore the ugly look, pi navmg nrougni them into power of men who must pf necessity, prove the enemies of a Protestant king. With news pf the revolution In (Eng land, moreover, came also news of war with France, the ousted King's Romish .trlend and ally; and the King's ol&cers tell Into an evident panic,, , While they hesitated what to do, captain of .the men-at-arms the? had called together tor their defense seized the fort and the government In the name of the Prince of Orange. This was Jacob Letsler. He bad come to the colony close upon thirty years before, (1660). as a soldier in the era ployn of the Dutch West India Com pany; had thriven in trade and made place of influence for himself among the colonistsiand now stepped forth as their champion against the officers of the papist King whom the raruament had deposed. it was the news of war that chief ly wrought upon the fears of the town. It was yet spring time. 16S9. and the news that war had actually be gun reached New York, a hasty ru mor, before the fact. But it spoke truth, nevertheless; and no man could he ignorant what special Interest New York had In the matter. Louis of France was In fact nlan- nlng that very spring how he should make the place his own. to the un doing of tha English In Americn. With the coming of summer his plans were complete. The veteran, indomitable Frontenac, master, if any man was, of the strat egy of the forest, was to go back to Canada to take a force of 1,900 Frenuh regulars and 600 Canadians thru the northern .wilderness to Albany.thenco to sweep down the river and meet the King's fleet, sept timely out of Franca, at New York; and France was to be mistress at the center of the continent before another winter was out ready io striKe a nival blow, first at the Iro quois behind her In the forests, and men at the English on the northern coasts. Fiance made no sign as yet; tho whole plan kept covert In Paris, a clqselyi guarded secret; no one in America knew what was afoot, But some seemed able to divine.' A keen foreboding quickened the faculties of all who thought upon the basard of fortunes in the strugle that had all but oomoi the air seemed full of something who could tell what t and rumors crept thru the forests and along the coasts In which men seem ed to guess what Ixitits planned.
