the People.
J. Lee Plmmmer's rapid progress in
to the affections of the Republican
machine managers was in reward of
his servility. His first in the
legislature was in the session of 1903,

Base Use of Political Power.
Political iniquity A was never in
voked for a baser purpose. The testi

the sitting members, and during they
inquiry offers were made to abandon |
the contest In consideration of sup- |
port of certain legislation by the gen- |
tlemen concerned. Even the most dar |
ing of the machine leaders hesitated
about perpetrating so palpable an out
rage. But when the offers of compro- |
mise were indignantly refused, Chair
man Plummer commanded the admira- |

Those billa were subsequently strick-

the reason that Governor Pennypacker
served notice on those concerned that
he would positively veto every one of
them. Even to oblige Quay and serve
the conspirators who had gone to dan-
gerous lengths to help him to the gub-
ernatorial nomination the servile Pen-
nypacker would not approve such mon-
strous measures. But Plummer had no
analms of conscience. He was cordially
for them and his record to that effect

Record,
Plummer's record on other machine
legislation during the session of 1903
was equally maladorous, moreover. He

The “culminating atrocity” of Mr
Plummer's record during the session
of 1902 was his vote for the Infamous

religious liberty. But Quay was smart- |

It was during the session of 1903,
moreover, that Plummer made clear
his servility to the machine and treach-
ery to the people by openly opposing
personal registration. Mr. Ikeler, of
Columbia county, had introduced a
resolution to discharge from the com-
mittee on elections, of which Plummer
was chairman, the ballot bill prepared
by the Democratic state committee and
which Quay had promised to support.
It provided for personal registration In
the cities and in opposing the resolu-
tion to discharge the committee and
place It on the calendar Mr. Plummer
sald:

tration law to enable a few reformers
to experiment with the cure of fraud in
that city.” Legislative Record, pages
192-22,
As the claim of patriotism is “the
last refuge of a scoundrel so the buga-
boo of the cost is the first and last
resort of a corruptionist who sees ra-
form approaching.” Naturally Mr.
Plummer iavoked this expedient to de.
lay personal registration, but the fail |
ure of it then has cost the people ten
fold more In graft since than personal
registration would have come to in 8

Legislative Record, pages 1039-40,
This measure was designed to de-

Soclety. When the partnership be.
tween the police department and the
purveyors of vice became so notorious
that the public conscience revolted,
the Law and Order Boclety was or-
ganized as a defensive expedient by
well-meaning people. For several
years it had been the only agency to
repress vice, and its activities were in
some measure menacing the prosperity
of the odious partnership. The society
operated through deputy constables ap-
pointed by friendly Magistrates, The
constables operated under the direction
of agents of the soclety, and without
consultation with the police. The Puhl
bill required all such organizations to
make public all its movements, includ-
ing Its sources of revenue, the obvious
purpose being to enable the police de-
partment to “tip off” the criminals all
contemplated raids, and punish those
who contributed the funds of the

Attacks on the personal characler
of an opponent invariably crouse sym-

or increase a personal dislike for the
speaker, Where it is possible, a manly
tribute like that you paid to the late
Mayor here intensifies the impresssion
that you are honestly striving for a
principle and not for personal advance
ment or personal revenge. You cane
not do better for yourself or your cause
than to rigidly adhere to the course
you have thus far pursued. For your
success you have my best wishes and
my words always when they will do
you any ood. 1 am ve truly

Dr. Weston is widely known through-

In South Africa a plant of the
genus Mesembryanthemum, growing
on stony ground, so closely resembles
a pebble that it has been picked up in
mistake for a stone. Another species
of the same plant growing on the
hils around the Karru produces two
leaves about as large as ducks’ eggs,
having a surface resembling weath
ered stone of a brownish gray color,
tinged with green. These plants look
like stones, but for a short time they
put forth bright yellow flowers. Still
another species of the same plant re.

which it grows.
