CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, iSqfi Money in Politics. We invite the careful attention of the PRESS readers to the following article copied from the Philadelphia Times. For years Cameron county lias witnessed some disgraceful boodle campaigns and it is an open secret that certain individuals have openly boasted that "in Cameron county a few hun pred dollars would defeat any candi date" and "election officers could be bribed to violate the laws." The Lan caster county incident will apply with equal force to this county: "A poor devil oi'a colored preacher in Lancaster has been arrested on the charge of accepting an election bribe, and formally expelled from the Lan caster Ministerial Association. He contracted with the friends of the Re publican candidate for Mayor in that city to deliver some thirty votes of his congregation for that candidate. "None will dispute the propriety of dismissing such a minister from the pulpit, nor will his criminality be doubted, but where are the men who bribed him, and who habitually tempt men from their integrity who are in poverty ? If the minister was bribed somebody must have bribed him, and the tempter was the man who offered the money to the impoverished parson. "We are on the threshold of a great political contest in Pennsylvania. It is one of the most important we have had for many years. It involves the election of a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Judge of the Superior Court and Secretary of Internal Affairs, an entire delegation to Congress, and the Legislature to be chosen will elect a United States Senator to succeed Mr. Quay. "With the experience in the contest of 1896 and in the Legislature oflS!)7, the people of Pensyivania should set themselves like hooks of steel against the use of money in politics. No local, district or State candidate should be permitted to succeed who starts out to win his way by the debauchery of the people. If we arc to have a govern ment worthy the respect of the people, the boodler must be sent to the rear and money must l>o eliminated from our politics. "It is the veriest mocker'- to indict and punish a poor colored minister because in his poverty he was tempted by the money of the boodler to commit an act not only lawless but unworthy of his sacred calling, if the boodler who tempted him, and without whom 110 such offense could have been com mitted, is allowed togo without ex posure and punishment. . "The only way to break up the now appalling evil in Pennsylvania of money in polities is to strike at the corrupt fountain from which these streams of debauchery flow to contam inate the people. As long as there shall be men with money to tempt the poor, the dependent and the venal, just so long will there lie corruption in Pennsylvania politics; but whenever it shall be determined that 110 man can play the roll of boodler without dis ; grace and imprisonment, we shall have purer politics inaugurated and men of merit will have a fair fight for political honors. "Every good citizen, regardless of party or faction, should take high re solve that money in politics should not be given the mastery in Pennsyl vania in the great battle of 1898." It is time for the sober thinking peo ple of Cameron county to think care fully over this question and organize to put a stop to this debauching system. Lotus, if necessary, organize a Law and Order League and prosecute to the fullest extent all violations of the laws. The PRESS will cordially second any such plan and render all the aid within its power. Huston Hill. Mud everywhere.

Yes terday during the heavy rain storm a derrick belonging to him was blown over and this morning his hot houses at Red Rock were partially destroyed by fire. At 6:30 the boiler house was discovered to be ablaze and the flames I quickly communicated with the potting shed. An alarm of tire was raised and the male population of Red Rock j turned out and attempted to control I the elements. Although they worked ; with might and main their efforts were in vain until the flames had almost j destroyed the carnation houses and ; damaged the rose house somewhat. | The loss is over SISOO and there is no j insurance.—Bradford Star.
