NOT TO BE BOUGHT.
Cf there is one- feature more than another wibiehi ais gratifying in connection with the Camadiian elections.,! <itS:is the refusal of tine electors to be . bought with theSr own imoniey. The cable tells ms thiat Canadian Minis-. tens hod made lavish, promises of expenditure upon public works. In spiie of this fact, however, the Ministers, who made the promisee were relegated to political obscurity. Is it too much to hope that tlhla electors of New Zealand will take a .simiiilar'ly, ifirm and honourable'isitand? Dux-' ing the next few months all sorjta of attempts will be made to debauch tile constituencies wiitih promises of public works and other expenditure. Money will flow liifeo waiter from the opfferis. of the State, and people will not stdp to ask from whose pockets it has been taken. Are the electors going to allow themselves to be bought in ia bare&ioed and shameless mianner, or will they ifiollow the example of Canada and .show .that they place principle ifar . dbovo pounds, shillings'and pence ?
