Political jobb,ry has been reduced to a
science, although no exactly an exact ono,
i'm Lancaster That county, which with
all its rugged honesty, manages to keep
dishonest face to the front about all the
time through the misrepresentation of its
politicians, has presented nothing more
audacious in the line of partisan -ascality
than is set forth in a letter printed here
with. Several Republican traders in votes
formed a ring which was to raise the
funds to carry a certain slate of
county candidates through primary
and the county election. They
nut in six thousand dollars on a
basis agreed upon, in advances to the
candidates, under promise of reimburse
ment, secured by notes, in case OF success,
and with an understanding as to the dis
tribution of the spoils of the offices that
were to be bought. The scheme was only
partially successful and the rogues who
had planned it fell out and had the
effrontery to 90 to the courts for settle
ment of their dispute. 1t is an interest
ing story of the greed and treachery of
political bosses that came out on the trial
and has a moral which may be COM
mended not only to hucksters in votes and
offices, but to the voters who, not alone in
Lancaster, entrusted the management of
their political affairs and the public in
terests to the most unscrupulOus class,
while they are careful enough to allow
none but honest men to attend to their
private business.

Railroad Disaster.

An engine, tender and a baggage car on

of rails, throwing the engine and tender on
one side and the car on the other side,
over an emankment of forty feet and
crushing the engineer, James Cameron,
almost completely sevcring his left leg be-
tween the knee and the hip. The leg had
to be amputated before he could be got
from under the car. He will probably
die. The fireman escaped with slight
