 The editorial columns commence with the following remarks on the death o1 John Adams
 REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.
 On the Fourth of July, 1776, John Adams signed the glorious instrument oi our Independence, we'll aware of the toll and blood, and treasure it would cost tc maintain the Declaration; but through all that hung over the destinies of the colo. nies, his patriotic mind could discern suf ficient rays of light and glory to- enable him to predict that posterity would tri umph in the deed that day done. On the Fourth of July, 1926, the Venerable John Adams, having seen the gloom dispelled, and full halo of light surrounding the pathway of the states, calmly yielded ny his life to his Maker, and was "gathered unto his" political brethren. The ten thousand ideas which rush upon the mind when we reflect that this venerable patriot has thus hallowed by his death our hal1 century celebration of national indepen- dence, seem to choke our utterance, and we indeed need the pen of ready wri. ter" to give even minute view of the i'm. mense interest which this event will throw into the page of American history. We cannot mourn that the patriot is gone we cannot but rejoice that he was taken away at the very moment he was.

The subject presents theme which will i'm. mortalize many poet; we feel like tread ing upon enchanted ground. and dare not display our weakness by pursuing it. Let those who tell of Adams death, say that he died on the fiftleth anniversary of oul National Independence.
