Death of Gen. Meade.

The country will be surprised to learn that
Gen. George G. Meade died at his residence
last wednesday, evening of pneumonia.
Few men bore more conspicuous part in
the late rebellion than Gen. Meade, and few
have deserved so well of the country.
In commenting briefly on the mis-"recollec-
tions of an old stager" relative to Mr. Web
ster's supposed jealousy of John Quincy
Adams, we showed by the dates, as given Of
ficially, that Mr.. Silsbee was elected and
reelected to the United States Senate while
Mr.. Adams was President, and when he was
first chosen Mr.. Webster himself had mol been
elevated from the lower to the upper branch
of Congress. Had he been then lin 1926 as
potential in Massachusetts, politics as that
writer asserts, or as he doubtless was subse-
quently, we think he would probably have
preferred himself to the ''respectable' Mr.
Silsbee and taken his seat at the Senatorial
Board rather than to defer doing so for nearly
two years more. We casually mentioned
that Mr.. Webster was elected in June, 1927,
to succeed Hon. Elijah Hunt Mills of North
ampton, who had filled that place from 1920
with great ability, and who then declined a
reelection on account of ill-heaIth; otherwise
Mr.. Webster would have had to learn to labor
and to wait for six years more at least in the
House of Representatives. (See Everett S
biographicalmemoro OF Webster prefixed to his
works. We recur to this now only to say
that it suggests to us the fact that since the
retirement of Mr. Mills in 1927, no Senator
has been elected from Western Massachusetts,
lie west of Worcester, the central city,
though Julius Rockwell held the position
few months by executive appointment. We
do not mention this because we greatly care
for the claims of locality or are interested in
any mans success; but as disinterested
looker-on, it strikes us that this fact will be
likely to promote Henry L. Dawes to the
seat soon to be vacated by Mr.. Wilson, rather
that Mr.. Boutwell,, Gen. Butler or DR.. Lor-
ing-or "any other man." Mr.. Dawes would
be fair successor of Elijah Hunt Mills. If
the honor fall to him, even from The narrow
motives of local feeling, he can feel that he
has earned it by long and faithful public SER
vices in the lower House, and the country
will be saved the disaster of losing Mr.
BoutwelPs invaluable services at the head of
the Treasury Department.

lions otherwise.
Whether you wish to vote at the
November election or not, it is your
duty to register. Your regrets in
the next two years will be unavail-
ing; and you had better have re-

were. taken. and Us Estell WAS suspected of
having some knowledge of the affair. he was
taken out by a party of citizens and threats
Of ,iol, nee made against him. He confess
ed his own guilt and stated that David W.
Douthitt. Il citizen of the ncighhorhoot, had
n hand in the affair. In contradiction to this
Douthitt states that he was an innocent pur.
chaser. having bought the mules from E>trII.
whom he supposed TO be the owner. Douth.
lit is out On hond OF $4,000. E>trll is under
arrest. The preliminary trial Is fixed for to.

prarance. Dne of the mules was sold in
Bonnvillc at SEQ; the others We're not dis.
posed of. but are said to he in the vicinity of
that city. Great excitement prevails a,

sorting t." lynch law is freely INDUCED in.
LATER.
1t is stated that all the mules have been re

piled no ; that his resignation was written

1t was discretionary with them when il
