THE PEDDLER,S ACRE.
1t Is Said to Have Been Bequeathed by .
Traveller.

Spare Moments.l
This well-known piece of ground at LAM
beth, near Westminster Bridse-the corner
near the mill=-was additionally said to have
been bequeathed to the parish by peddleP
upon the condition that his picture with
that of his dog should he perpetually pre-
served in glass in one of the windows of the
church, and in the south window of the
middle aisle of Lambeth Church such
picture exists. 1t has, however been sug=
gested, and with some probability, that this
portrait was intended as q rebus on the name
of the benefactof named Chapman. At
Swafham a similar tradition exists, and in
that church is Il portrait of John Chapman,
u benefactOr, who is represented as ped
dler with his pack. Peddler's Acre, Lam
beth, though so called for hundreds ofyears,
was not originally so named, being spoken
of in the old books AS the Church Hope, or
Hopys. Rent was received for the ground
from the year 1904, and this rent gradually
increased until it reached sl,5CO II year.
Under recent decision of the High Court of
Justice the proceeds now 90 in aid of the
poor rates ofthe parish of lambeth.

A WORD OF ADVICE.

LIE HERALD does not propose to attempt
10 discourage anybody from going to Deep
creek and trying his fortune in prospecting
and mining. 1t would simply be time and
effort wasted to make such an attempt At
the same time, nobody should object if we
oHer suggestion or two. In the first
place, men should understand that the
deep Greek country is inviting only to
searchers for the precious metals. 1t is
not Dy any manner of means land flowing
with milk and honey, and the accommoda-
lions and comforts. as well as most of tho
food which one gets there, will be lust such
as ne provides himself with before starting.
After time this will all be changed. and
hotels and all the essentials to comfort
able existence will be at the service of
those who can pay for them. The "ten
oefioot" who is wise will take with
MIN clothing, bedding, provisions, tent and
such articles as he is likely to require for
MS health and convenience. Another
thing, prospecting for mineral is more or
less OF a profession, requiring certain de-
gree and kind of skill which can be acquired
only by experience. There are mighty few
good prospectors even among miners them
selves. The average mechanic or the ordi-
nary laborer who goes prospecting is pretty
apt to waste time which is more or less
valuable, according as ne possesses ability
10 earn money in other walks of life. Sill
yer ledges, as rule, do not project from
the mountain sides bearing labels announc-
ing their character and richness, nor does
the white metal show itself in broad
gllstenlng seams, ready to be cut up into
bars and carted to the mint. The
ordinary individual will tramp for
months over silver bearing rock
and never suspect its value, whereas
very little OF worth will escape the keen
eye and investigating mind of the trained
prospector 1t would be good deal better
Iof dozen or score Of the men who have
caught the Infection and are rushing off to
Deep Greek, to unite in the employment of
a trusty prospector and send him into the
helo While they work for wages and thus
get the money TO pay his expenses. He

the less OF feet in valueless claims that |
one owns, the better
Ii this mad, inconsiderate rush shall con-
tlnue. we venture the prediction that next

return to Salt Lake wiser and poorer men.
not because the district is not rich in min
erals, but because these men were as igno-
rant OF the business of prospecting as thew
were reckless in souanuering their tina |

HIS JEALOUS SLANDERERs.

There is always something great in that
man against whom the world excIaims -
says ZIMMERMAN; sat whom everyone
throws stone, and on whose character all
attempt to fix thousand crimes without
being able to prove one., These retlec-
lions should be especially comforting lust
now to Mr.. HENRY NJ. STANLEY. From the
dispatches of yesterday it would appear
that ne Is attacked again for his department
IN Africa, this time by Colonel GEORGE w.
WILLIAMS, who has been for some time in
the employ of the Congo Free State. He
accuses the great African explorer of
grossly misrepresenting the character of
the country. Instead of being a
land where plenty leaps to laugh
ing life with her redundant horn. as
represented by STANLEY, Colonel WILLIAMS
says it is sterile and unproductive. and
that there IS little hope of much improve
ment IN the condition of affairs until the
natives shall be taught the dignity, utility
and blessings of labor If that be true il
will be some time before the CONGO Free
State Will amount to anything in the com
merce or civilization of the world. Colonel
WILLIAMS makes more grave charges
against STANLLY, however, than misrepre
sentlng the character of the country. He
says that STANLEY's name produces shud
der among the simple folks of Africa.
They remember his broken promises, heavy
blows and vigorous measures by which
they were mulcted of their lands. These
are serious charges; but it must be remem-
oered that STANLEY stands upon an emf
nence Of fame from which he must Iook
down upon the hate of these below, whose
envy would fam pluck from his brow the
laurels he has justly won; and therefore
tnese grave charges are to be entertained
cautiously, lest by judging too hastily, un-
merited censure be heaped upon one of the
worlds great characters.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

MIR. Z. DICKINSON comes back to the
Union. Pacific as assistant general manager.
IN place of HoLCoMB, who has been made to
Walk the plank. Mr.. DICKINSON Is an ex-
celIent railroad man. He understands the
business because he learned it from expert
ence. He is not Harvard graduate how
ever, hence Mr. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS
had no use for him. ADAMS tried to RIM
the great railroad on the lines of a college
educauon obtained at Harvard; men who
happened to know something about practical
ranroadlng but had not graduated from MIR.
ADAMS 1avorite school, had to go to make
room Tor those who could exhibit Harvard
diploma One result was the running of a
railroad on theory, and the other was the
practical bankruptcy of the road. The
adherence between GOULD and ADAMS in
TIER ideas Of railroadiug is that
the frst-named doesn't care any,
thlng about an employees educational
credentials so long as the man understands
his business and does his work well. while
ADAMS thinks man cannot do good work
unless he has college education.
Ever since GOULD got control of the road
the educated idiots'' have been going and
practical railroad men are taking their
places. One of these days we may expect
to see the pioneer line resume most of Its
prestige which was lost during the admin
lstratlon of the blue .blooded Bostonian.
This recovery will come from putting men
In charge who know something about rail
roadlng, as Ed DICKINSON, who has wound
brake in his time, and we are not certain
that he could not perform neat job of car

POLITICS IN MUNIcIPAL ELECTIONS.

| When you start for the polls to-day, leave
your politics behind, and when you get to the
polls vote for the best men.
Such was the advice which a ST T ,oris
paper gave to the voters of that CITY the
uay OF It's recent municipal election. We
take 1t that 1t was very good advice. too
go varied, so complicated and so inter
woven are the interests of our municina)
corporations with the interests of all classes
and conditions of citizens living within its
limits, and usually so far removed from
any association with the political principles
upon which the country is divided into
great national parties On national issues.
that 1t would be good thing for
our city governments if national
politics were kept out of our municipal
elections. All parties, irrespective of DO
lltlcaI party affiliations on national issues
would do well to adopt safe, progressive
policy to be carried out in our city govern
ments and then elect the best men to eye
cute the wishes of the people. So shall be
pest secured the best results for our citv
governments. With such an understand
ing the best elements in both political par
ties may unite to give municipal CORPORA
tons the cleanest, the ablest and the hest
possible government; whereas now that ma
tlonal party principles are dragged into
municipal elections. the best men, out of q
sense Oh devotion to party, are separated
from each other, and it gives to the
rougn, laWless and wicked element.
the element that sustains the gin mills and
the gambling heils and hangs around the
saloons that keep open all night, too much
influence in our city governments. BY the
adoption of this policy, too the interest of
all the members OF the body municipal
would be pest represented and more intelG- |
gently legislated upon, while peace, secur-
lty and good order would be more likely OBJ |
tanned Vote for the best men, party poll
tics not considered is good advice in NUM-

EVEN IN Kansas, the great admirer of the
negro, the race question came to the front
and was forced into prominence at the
recent election. The women have the
right to vote at municipal elections in that
state, and it has been the practice of wives
to vote as their husbands did. At Topeka
last week, 1t was seen that the colored
women were voting the Republican ticket,
whereupon the white women, regardless of
the politics of their husbands and friends.
voted for the Democratic candidates, and
what is important, they elected them. If
the race problem were left to the white
women for adjustment, it wouldn't be set
tied by elevating the blacks to plane of
equality with the whites.
