OBITUARY.



Ex Attorney General Lear who has died
AZ his home in Doylestown, was born in
Warwick, Bucks county, February lG,
1918 Leaving the modest farm of his
parents at the age Of l3 years, ho started
in the battle of life or his own account.
For six years he did such work as he could
find, and at the same time improved his
mind as best he could. Then at the age Of
10 years he engaged and for four years
con tinued as a teacher in the country
common schools. Meanwhile and later,
when serving in a country store, he
devoted his spare hours to the study of
law. In 1914 he removed TO DoyestOwn
and entered the law office Of h, I. Mellow.
ell, his preceptor. In November of that
year ho was admitted TO the bar of Bucks
| county. In 1913 he was appointed deputy
attorney general and served until that
| OH 20 was abolished, and that Of district
attorney, created in 1850. He served as a
member Of the constitutional convention
| Of 1872 70, and though ho had advocated
and sustained all the important reforms
| adopted by that body, declined TO
| sign or vote for the constitution
| ITSELF explaining that he believed It 10
have been finally adopted in q shape
that would interfere with such powers as
u free people should enjoy. Upon tho
death Of Attorney General S. f. Dimmiok
MIR. Lear was appointed December :,
1870, 10 succeed him aud retained the
incumbuncy until 1879. H0 attained high
rank as a lawyer and had frank, straight
forward nature that made him very popu.
lar. lie was powerful speaker, aud used
that faculty on the stump for the candl
dates OF the Republican party in almost
every campaign from the party's organi-
cation until that OF 1882 when he declined
TO support the regular ticket because, Us
put It, the issue on trial was whether
Senator Cameron should be endorsed and
ratified by the people Of Pennsylvania"
la that campaign he supported tho la.
dependent ticket headed by Senator Stew
art. Mr.. Lear had been i'll for several
months, and his condition has been so
critical for week past that his death was
hardly unexpected.

i sale has been cunsummatcd Of the
estate known as Wheatlaud," on the
Marietta turnpike, milo west uf this
city, which for many years Wac tho hon
of President Buchanan and siuCe his
death has been the property and summer
residence OF Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston
and her family Since the death Of her
sons and her more recent siliction Ia the
death of her husband, she has been desr-
GUS of dispOsing of the estate. The pur
chaser is Mr.. Geo b. Wilson, Of this city,
late Of tho firm of Finn il Wilson, who
has bought it for himself, his brother,
Rev. ID. b. Wilson, OF Bradford, and
other members OF the family, who will
make II home Tor themselves and cult
vate the fine gardens and orchards on the
premises.
The prico paid is not publicly stated but
is generally understood to have been about

as 1t contains % acres of ground, with a
fine large brick mansion, woodlands, highly
cultivated. gardens, an abundance Of fruit,
shrubbery and flowers, with an extensive
lawn and copious spring.

history are familiar to tho Lancaster pub

EstOpped from COMPLAINT.

The Republicans who are lashing
themselves into a fit OF virtuous indig
nation over the election OF Mr.. Peelle, of
Indiana, from Congress and tho admis-
sion Of Mr.. English in his place, must
think that the people Of the country
have very short memories, il they expect
any sympathy from them in their ejacu
lations against the horrid Democrats,
who preferred to believe that a Democrat
rather than Republican was elected
to a Democratic House. The Republi
cans in the last House notoriously
used their power to increase their
majority, and unseated Democrats, who
they knew were fairly elected, for no
other reason than that they were Demo
Gratis. After settling this precedent so
fagrantly as they did, it would be too
much for them to expect the present
Democratic House not to be influenced
by 1t. II Is evident that IL the conduct
OF the Republican majority in the last
House had been fair, Mr.. Peelle might
have been given the benefit Of the doubt
as to his election and been permitted tO
retain his seat. There was doubt
in the case, as is manifest, from
the fact that number Of Demo
Gratis voted against unseatiDg Peele.
But he did not have clear claim TO his
election, and the Democratic majority of
the House was not obliged to seat him
ON a doubtful claim, and did not. II
either applicant for the place was to
have the benefit Of the doubt,
1t was the Democratic applicant, ac
coiding tn Republican precedent. We
believe that one party is not justified, by
the wrong OF the other, to do wrong it,
self but 1t has clear title given IL by
its enemies example to give all its doubt
as TO the right In favor Of itself. The Re
publicans were fairly warned when they
unseated Democrats in the last House
on the flimsy pretext, that they might
expect their chickens home to roost. As
we understand the English Peelle
matter English really had the majority
OF the votes, and was fairly elected
while Peelle had the better claim on the
record. III the Democratic House has
allowed Its partisanship such scope as To
secure the preference OF the equitable
over the legal title to the seat IL has con.
lined II within IA very respectable and
justihable limit, under the Republican
example set II.
