POLL TAX.--Thero arc many
glaring defects IN the present poll
tax law that needs remedying by
our lawmakers. Last year there
were over sixteen hundred delln-
qucnt poll tax payers in this coun-
ty, and this year the number is
even greater. These delinquents
are mostly colored men, who, IN
der the present law, cannot be
forced to pay this tax. The only
means of preventing this shortage
in the county finances would be in
the passage OF law requiring the
presentation of a poll tax receipt
as prerequisite TO voting. 1t is
but just to state that there are very
few deIinqaents in precincts four
and six.

For EAGLE LAKE.-Messrs. 7. J.
Pampoll, Julian Mcfarland and
John Levin, of this city, LETT Friday
evening via the Santa Fo railway
for Eagle Lake. The BANNER was
not permitted to see the contents
of the mess-chost, but the gentle
men aver that it was devoid ofthe
usual compliment of snake medi-
cine, with the exception of three
two ounce walls to be used only af-
ter the snake has bit them. Tho
last party that was at the lake
came back and reported that there
are no "snaix" there, but rather
than take any chances they took
along the limited quantity Of medi-
cine mentioned. They desire TO
inform their friends that they will
not do any fishing on Sunday but
will go to the town of Eagle Lake
and attend Sunday school.

WANTED TO SIGN THE PAPERS.

| WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 5 The
new consuls are constantly finding ont
curious things about how affairs were
conducted under the old regime.
There are some of them who fall into
the old way, but most of them, it is
thought, report the irregularities to the
state department. One of the most in
tercsting of these discoveries came
| from consulate in the West Indies.
At the end of the first quarter the new
| consul at this place was astonished TO
find some half dozen hard-lOoking fell
lows waiting at the consulate for him
As he came in the morning.
What can | do tor you?' he asked.
eve have come to sign the papers,"
said one who seemed to be the spokes-
man.
"What papers?" asked the consul.
''Dont know what the papers are,
only that they are always ready for us
to sign, aud the other consul had us
come around and gave us 50 cents
apiece for signing our Names"
The consnl's suspicious were arous-
ed, and he had the fellows sign their
names to blank piece of payer. 1t
now transpires that these men had
been used by the former consul to sign
receipts for relief given TO distressed
seamen, etc. The amount paid at that
point before the change of consuls
was about 5000 year, while the last
year it has not been $40.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Jim

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June z.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:- The event
SO. anXiOusly looked for and discussed
with SO much ingenuity by the gossips
Of the nation, has taken place, and the
title of the ''tirst lady of the land'' has
formally passed from the sister to the
wife of the president. There has
scarcely been topic of conversation
during the week, excepting the White
House wedding, and even now that
several days have passed, and the hap
py couple are spending their honey
moon at a point distant from this city,
the interest seems to have scarcely
abated. Those who were present pro-
nounce the affair success in every
respect. The programme which had
been previously arranged, was carried
out in all of its details.
Congress has been busy in the dis
cussion of the Canadian fisheries
trouble, the taxation of railroad land
grants, the Chinese Indemnity bill, and
other important measures, beside pass
ing unanimously a bill to prevent the
acquisition of real property by aliens,
and to prohibit corporations, excepting
railroads. canal and turnpike compa-
iilCS IIou Wv tudu uVc tIiOu6.
and acres of land, under a penalty of
forfeiture to the government.
The interchangeable bill which
has occupied so much of the time OF
the house during the past two or three
weeks, was passed on Thursday by q
very handsome majority, and it now
remains to be seen as to what disposi-
ton will be made of it in the senate.
Although the general impression
prevails that the present congress has
been idle and that much of its time has
been spent i'm talk, the records show
that a greater amount of work has
been done for the same length of time
than during any former congress. The
number of general bills has been great
er than ever before. The records also
| reveal the fact that the number of re-
ports from the committees i'm both
houses are far in excess of any previ-
Gus session.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
president has vetoed several private
pension bills the warning has been un-
needed, and claims of this nature con-
linue TO be pushed through without
consideration, and each house appears
to be striving to outdo the other i'm the
pension business. IL.

THE PRIMARY.
From the Odessa Democrat.

FROM tne Odessa Democrat
The primary having been held, the
candidates for county offices are now
chosen; now tor November.
1t is natural that more or less disap-
pointment should be felt by the defeat
ed candidates, but any candidate who
thinks more of his party than he does
of all office, will use all honorable
means to secure the election of the
ticket that the party has seen fit to
nominate.
II dissatisfaction should exist among
those who have been defeated, in re-
gard to any point upon which the cam
raign has been conducted, let the future
provide different methods, and gem
eral acqniescence In the will of the peo-
pie at the polls on June 9th, and
grand victory i'm November, for county,
district and state nominees, proclaim
the fealty of every democrat to the
welfare and future success of his par
ty. Discipline in party is as essential
to party success as discipline in an
| army. In party sense, it is just as
natural for men to prefer to do battle
under the leadership of chosen friend,
rs il is for Il soldier 10 prefer to fight
under the command of preferred mil
ilary leader. But the true soldier will
| fight anywhere that duty bids him go,
and in any capacity, whether as pri-
vate in the ranks, or as an officer.
The above reflections have been call
ell forth by hearing Oh the streets of
| Lexington, on last Monday, a few ill
advised remarks in regard to independ-
ent candidates for one or more of the
positions filled by the people on last
Saturday. To our mind, such course
would be reprehensible to the last de-
gree. The democratic party, like all
other human institutions, has its faults.
lis principles may be abused, but that
is not the fault of the grand principles
enunciated by Jefferson, but the fault
of those who misunderstood and mis-
apply them. The people have it in
their power to correct the abuses prac-
Iiced in any party, and when made.
fully cognisant of the facts will not fail
to apply the proper remedy.
The democratic party, by long con-
tinued lease OF power, quarreled in
1860 over a division of the spoils, and
lost the entire control of the govern
ment for quarter of century. The
republican party quarreled in 1880 for
the same reason, which eliminated in
their defeat i'm 1884. If the democratic
party of Lafayette county are wise; if
they will learn lesson from history
they can avoid the rock upon which all
party organizations have been wrecked
all along down our political history,
running from village politics to the
presidency. If there are democrats
who prefer republican supremacy to
democratic rule, the pathway is SO well
defined You need not err therein. 1t is
like the road to destruction, it is very
broad.
No Independent candidate can de-
feat any man nominated at the demo
cratic June primary, but such a candi-
date can draw off enough votes 10
cause dissensiOn in future elections.
Will any man be SO fOrgetful of his
allegiance to his party as to do SO? We
believe not; indeed we think we know
no democrat will do SO.

EDITOR lNTELLIGENCER:-L matt
nees over colored silk are pretty and
may render dressy some partly worn
SILK skirt, the two silks either matching
or contrasting, bright matinee look
ing well with a dark skirt. Another
pretty idea is 10 select very thin white
wool, and having tucked it perpendic-
ularly, run colored ribbon in the tucks:
here likewise there being uniformity or
contrast of colors. There is UNIVERSAL
ty too in these light looking morning
dresses, since choice of colors renders
them OF such varied character as to suit
the young, middle aged or elderly.
Ribbon bows set about can give finish,
and with addition, if need be, of lace
breakfast cap to match, the outfit is
complete. There are tasteful morning
dresses of wool lace with ribbons
showing through the open meshes, that
tell their own iaunty story. Wool lace,
however, is hardly high style, though not
altogether among things of the past. In
| TRAVELLING
There will be immense demand for
long Newmarkets and Raglans, the
former lifting close and with or with
out cape, the latter loose, but both very
long, rendering the dress skirt of little
Importance except perhaps il glimpse
at the lower edge. Thus the crumplino
of IA lice skirt is avoided and good
dresses can be kept fresh. For mater
ial, the list of light mixed cloths is end
less. But there are equally long cloaks
made OF lace, satin or silk, and in de-
| mand for other occasions than travel
ing. If not very long, the outside
| garment must he very short, and each
day reveals the growing popularity of
jet. Many of the latter are composed
entirely OF beaded net with fringe on
the edge, and tavOrite style for max
ing is the straight breadth OF goods
folded in the middle and extending its
whole length around with straight
pieces sewn on for the front. Shoulder
seams take off all tullness and give OBJ
ligatOry shaping. Each day Likewise

Tor short wraps, and here the sleeves
are of beaded net or Independent jet
or colored bead ornaments are sewn on
SO as to do away with plainness. Thus
the plain fabric serves only as the
groundwork for display of the over
