Good Suggestion.


EDITOR demonstrating been a
citizen for the past fourteen years,
and taking a slight interest in the
welfare of the community at large, l
am ofthe opinion that a law should
be enacted by the legislature that
every man who comes to the polls to
deposit his vote, shall bring his poll tax
receipt with him as a guarantee that
he is entitled to vote. Then let the
judges of election be furnished an or
binary ticket punch, such as is used
by conductors on railways, and punch
bis poll tax receipt when he votes.
This would effectualiy prevent re-
peating, and would give us a better
class Of officers than we have been in
the habit Of having. | know that the
majority of people are opposed to this,
but it would be to the best interest of
every citizen of Shelby county to have
a law of that kind enforced. l have
been told that there is a law to that
effect in existence, but have never
seen it enforced. Perhaps Judge
Horrigan could give us some light on
the subject.

In regard to the political outlook in
Virginia, a special from Washington
TO the Cincinnati Enquirer says I'm
formation received here to-day from
Virginia is to the effect that there is
no earthly prospect of any compro-
mise between the regular and the re.
adjusters wings Of the democratic
party in that state. The leaders of
the regular wing do not want a com
promise, for the reason that they do not
believe it would add any strength to
the Hancock ticket. Very many of
the regular democrats are so violently
opposed to making any further conces-
sions to the readjusters that they re-
fuse to join in a fusion movement.
The managers of the regular demo-
cratic canvass believe that more than
half of the readiusters will vote the
the regular Hsncock and English
ticket and that this will make the
safe ) cure for the democrats.

Shot on the Island.

This morning a young freedman
named James Waller, died at the
hospital from the effects of a pis-
tol shot wound, received near
sunset last Tuesday evening, af-
ter work hours, on the Presi-
dents island work house farm. The
cause of the trouble was about a fe-
male cloak that one of the principals
had borrowed and then sold. A quar-
rel occurred when the shooter leveled
a navy six and sent a bullet into the
side Of Waller. 1t penetrated his
bowels and passed through his kid
neys, causing death as above stated.
The name of the shooter has not been
ascertained. Waller was a good
worker and has been a renter in con
nection with his father.

city in the employ of the Water Supply
company, who moved to Leadvilc the first
part of April with his wife and child, is re-
ported killed by the Indians in what 10 known
as the Gunnison country. Soon after his
arrival nj Leadvie he went to Denver City

aud child for the Gunnson country, which Ii
infested with hostile Inoians. They Travelled
in II wagon, and after he had gotten into that
section it is known that it WAS raided by the
redskins, who killed several persons. Nothing
has since been heard from them, and his

into captivity.
