WING, Ageni, Laporte. THE STATE TREASURERSHIP Republican Nominee As Viewed By An Editor From His Homo County. Tn commenting upon the contest for stnte treasurer, the editor of the HoliV daysburg Register says: "Hon J. Lee Plummer, the Republl- ■ 112 can candidate for state treasurer, has 1 ■ the ability to fill that office with credit. This fact cannot be success | fully contradicted; besides, he is known by the people with whom ha has lived all his life to be perfectly honest and reliable and a man of tb® strictest integrity. While not a Pro hibitionist. he is a man of the strictest temperance habits. These are facta which cannot be controverted. He was regularly nominated in a Republicau ; stale convention, composed of dele ! gates who were chosen by the Republic ! cans of the various counties of tho state. j "There was every opportunity for : any mau In the state to contest the ; nomination with him He was nomi nated fitlrly as the candidate of his party. Now, what Republican can hava a valid excuse to vote against him? Is it better that the Republicans as- I sist a Democrat into one of the best i offices of the state, or vote for their ! candidate, who is in every way worthy? i The opposition' is trying hard to rale.* a respectable flgbt against him, U»t I i the only possible show they will have ! i will be through the votes of Repubii- | cans Why should we aid them in their work?" A Word to State Republicans. j "The Republicau party la not re sponsible for the misuse that has been made of It in Philadelphia," says the editor of the Juniata Herald. "The truth Is that it deserves credit for cor recting the wrongs that have been com mitted by some of its faithless mem bers The corruption that has existed In Philadelphia is wholly of a loca: character and the party in the state has no connection with or relation to it. Why should the party elsewhere suffer j on account of It? Why should state : candidates be defeated because of what ! ! has occurred in a single city? If the ■ sins of a few were to be visited upon j the party when could It ever be sue- j eessful? The Republican ticket is com posed of honest men, was fairly nomi- j nated and is entitled to the support of J a very member of the party. De sure j to vote for it."

Sir Walter Besaut GIVM lomt laitrtil* lof SkttcbN of That Anolont Por tion of (be City. Besides being a novelist, Sir Walter Besant in a historian, particularly the historian par excellence of London. For the last few years he has written | articles on historio London for The i Pall Mall Magazine. The last series ito appear were on South London; : these, like the others, are now present- j ed in hook form under their original title and with the elaborate and artistio illustrations which so enhanced their value when they were printed in the magazine. The publishers of "South London" in this country are Frederick A. Stokes Company. "The chief difficulty In writing 'South London,' " said Sir Walter In his pre face, "has been that of selection from the great treasures which have accum ulated about this strange spot. " The contents of this volume do not form a tenth part of what might be written on the same plan, and still without includ ing the history proper of the borough." The author courteously acknowledges his obligations to tte artist "Mr. Perry Wadham, who has no faithfully and so cunningly oarried out the task commit ted to him." "My South London," says Sir Walter, j "extends from Battersea in the west to Greenwich in the east, and from the river on the north to the first rising ground on he south. This rising ground, a gentle ascent, the beginning of the Surrey hills, can still be observ ed on the high roads of the south — I Clapham, Brixton, Camberwell." At first London had no communica tion with the rest of the world, < xcept by water. Then a causeway was built across the Southwark marshes. The second road connected with the high road to Dover; it is now called lliyh Street Borough. It formed an entirely open and broad communication; it be gan not far to the west of St. Saviour's Church, opposite the Roman Trajectus. the mediaeval ferry, now St. \hiry Overies Dock. Ferries were soon es tablished across the Thames, and at length the marshes were drained. Pre historic remains prove that all this was done during the stone age and : the bronze age. Centuries passed by. "High Street j of Southwark is now a crowded thor- | oughfare, because it is the main artery | of a town containing a population of j many hundreds of thousands. In the I last century it was quite as animated, i because it was one of the main arteries i by which London was in communica tion with the country. An immense number of coaches, carts, wagons, and 'caravans' passed every day up and down the High Street, some stopping or starting in Southwark it self; some going over London Bridge to their destination in the city." Among the relics of the bygone Ages j stands to-day the remains of the p.Uace i of the Bishop of Winchester. As one ; of the Bishops of Winchester would j have made a very good modern Police \ Court Judge and District Attorney i combined, it may not be inappropriate j at this place to tell something about ! the punishments of the litn* That were : ordered by the church. "There was j whipping, but not me terrible, mur- i derous (logging of the eighteenth cen tury; there were hangings, but not for everything. Mostly to the credit of k he church, punishment was designed I lot to crush a man, but to shame him j Into repentance and to give him a I chance of retrieving his character. A j man might be set in the stocks or put I in pillory, and so made to feel the liein j ousness of his oft'e... some time contained the work of nearly i every archbishop in succession, lnci j dentally remarks, in speaking of some ' of the improvements executed by the various prelates, that the Chicheley ; Tower, commonly known as the "Lol lards' Tower," "never had any connec tion with Lollards, and that all the talk about the unhappy prisoners is without foundation." Ai.u. in a word, which will explain why I have given an apparently dispro- I portionate space to Lambeth Palace, the auu.;.i thus eaus his chapter on the royal houses of ?outh London; "Lam beth Palace, the only palace in the whole of South London, is a monumeii/ i of English history from the twelfth j century downward. Kennington ap -1 pears at intervals; Eltham is a holiday i house; Greenwich practically begins with the trdoi-s. Lambeth, like West minster or St. Paul's belongs to the long history of the English people." From the fragmentary "lives" of Shakespeare we have learned consider able about ilie Globe Theatre, but in "South London'' we find a great deal more, and also much about the Bear Garden, Blackfiiars, and Paris Garden, the Hope Theatre, the Swan Theatre, and the Hose. It is all very interest ing. And of the South London of to-day, there is much that is of interest, much that is fascinating, albeit the tourist to London can see it all if he only takea the troutle. leniparlßg St««l.
