That a poll tax should be paid Dy
every voter-in tue State no reasonable
man will deny, and that a large num-
Der do not pay this tax is beyond dis
pute. Now the question arises. how
and by what means will voters be made
to pay this tax, which all should pay.
The Aberdeen Weekly thus expresses
It's opinion uron this subject:
"The first duty of the next Legisla
ture chat assemblies in this State IS to
pass a law making a poll tax receipt n
prerequisite to voting. They who
dance must pay the fiddler. Represen-
taticn without taxation is equally as
unjust as taxation without representa>
ton. If it is worth anything to have
q voice in the administration of public
%affairs, it ought to be made the incen-
tive to equalize the expenses of the
Government, and the man who is so
poor and shiftless that he cannot raise
means to pay his poll-tax lover fifty ex-
empted) is not a fit or proper voter"
To the above WI say amer. The
Legislature should pass a law requir-
ing every voter to exhibit his poll-tax
receipt. and if such receipt cannot be
produced then he should not be allowed
q voice in the selection of men to Gov
ern the State.-Pascagouta Demo.
crdt-Star.
The Legislature has but n way to
substitute the poll~tax receipt Tor reg
istration. and that is to pass an amend
ment to the constitution and submit it
to the people for ratification. That
should be done.

like a philosopher. He consoles him

pulling in a yoke with an OK. 1t is

Ne,y York Election.

Tha result In New York is not
what We wanted, but is not so bad
as some to suppose. Robin
sou was beaten by the Kelly bolt,
but the balance Of the Democratic
ticket was elected. Kelly is a bitter
enemy of Robinson and preferred
Cornell's election to his. But in
killing Robinson, Kelly slaughtered
himself, and in the future will be
regulated to the rear. His day is
over in New York. This is made
certain by the success of the anti
Tammany ticket. All the New York
City offices pass into the hands of
Democrats, who will have all the
offices to give; and the rank and file
of the Kelly crowd are fellows who
live off of the pap gathered from
city offices, and now that Kelly has
none to give, will desert him like
rats do a sinking ship. Tilden and
his friends are already organizing
the Democracy of New York anew,
and will make the party more unan-
imous and harmonious by a judic-
ious distribution of the city offices;
and having got rid of that stencil of
Tammany Hall, will carry the State
in 1880 beyond a doubt. This
battle had to come, and now that it
is past and Tammany left out in the
cold, the real Democracy of New
York are glad it is over.
Some of our exchanges say the
failure to elect Robinson in New
York virtually lisposes of Mr.. Til
den as a Presidential cadidate.
We do not look at it that way. The
result is really a Democratic victory,
as only one man on the ticket was
beaten, and that by the opposition
of Kelly. If Tilden gets the nom
nation next year, kellv's opposi-
ton would amount to but little, even
should he take the field against him,
and it is not known that he would.
Democrats would not follow him in
such a fool hardy move.

Editor Brookhdren Ledger
In The LEDGER of Oct. Both, is a
communication from Mr.. Jones, o
Beauregard. in which he condemns the
brick fue for stoves as unsafe. Like
him Ihave given the subject some at"
tention. I have had, perhaps. more ex-
peris1ce in the matter than he, having
built a large number. My observation
is that a brick Aue roperlyconstructed,
is the only safe plan.
A pipe used as Mr. Jones recommends
will very frequently communicate suffi-
Gent heat to the ceiling or shingles.
through which it passes, to fire them.
/ have often known this to be the case.
Fire almost always originates at the
bottom OF the fue, from an accnmula-
ton of SCOT in the space usually left
between the sheet iron, through which
the pipe passes, on the under side OF
the ceiling, and the hue which rests on
the %joists. My plan is to cut n round
or square hole in the ceiling between
and away from the %joists, make the
hole large enough to let the pipe pass
through and be clear of any part of
the ceiling at least three inches. Com
mence on the ceiling with mortar and
brick, laying the brick fiat. and build
up ever with the top of the joists.
Then take two stout planks, twelve
inches vide, and of sufficient length to
reach across at least four of the joists,
cut SO that when placed together the
hole will correspond with that in the
ceiling. Place the planks properly, on
which lay one round of brick Hat and
crosswise, that is with the ends to the
center, using mortar between the
Joints. The space in the fue thus far
constructed should be of the same size
of the hole in the ceiling. Cement
this we'll inside with strong lime NOR
tar. Then lay down a piece OF sheets
iron with q hole through it just the
size of the pipe to be used; place this
so that the pipe will be equally distant
from any part of the sides of the fne
below. Then lay down another round
of brick crosswise, and drawn in 90 as
to leave a six inch space inside the fine;
put on one or two rounds more fiat,
then turn the brick OF edge using
four to the round: cement the inside
with good mortar. fill the corners so
as to make the fine inside round and
smooth. This viii! give strength to the
fus aud prevent clogging with SCOT.
Run the fine two or three feet above
the highest part of the roof; use no
arch or covering over the top; nse no
tin or sheet>iron on the under side OF
the ceiling; leave it open. Flues con-
structed on this plan are safe.
