AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

iiFhe Reno Gazette applied to the
Governors OF Wyoming and Wash
inston for copies Of their election
law, based on the Australian ballot
system. II. H. Ropath, Private Secre-
,tary to the Governor Of Wyoming
writes:
with this mail I send you n copy
Of said law and beg to inform you
that as a whole our new election law,
under which our first State election
was recently held, is a decided sue
cess. Our first State Legislature is
ut present in session, having convened
on the 18th nit, and it is generally
understood that some action will no
thken relative to curing some minor
defects which exist in tho law as it ut
present stands, but such defects arc
.uninportant, but whatever legislation
on the lnatter is accomplished during
the present session l shall be pleased
~ furnish you il you will 30 request"
Lieutenant-G Governor Charles L.
IIaughton, o Acting Governor Of
Washington, writes rs follows:
II am in receipt OF your favor OF the
18th ultimo and it affords mo pleasure
TO mail you today n copy OF our cleo
,tion law. So far as / am advised tho
jaw having been in operation but
little less than one year, our election
law has proven most satisfactory. a
further trial OF our mode Of balloting
may suggest some improvements upon
orr present law, but thus fur there
has seemed to DO no objection. 1t
affords the voter the most nmplo pro-
lection in his ~balloting, aud, in my
opinion, exercises n most beneficial
tendency towards preserving tho pu.
rity OF the bnllot."

The Most Profitable Horses

Speaking OF raising horses, Gays the
Reno Gazette, We believe that the
time has como when breeders should
devote themselves to breeding good
roadsters and let up on tho big Nor
mnns. A trim.built traveller that
will weigh eleven or twelve hundred
is n handy horse to have. They IRE
quick and active, and big enough for
general farm purposes. They have

dale, Percheron and Norman arc only
tit for show and heavy work. Nearly
every breeder in this State, and, in
fact, every other Pacific Coast State,
has been raising big draught horses
until tho markets arc full of that class
Of stock, with no sale. OF, il II sale is
made, it is at n very low price. \
good roadster, stylish and compact,
can be sold most any day for one hun
dred or one hundred and twenty-i five
dollars, while tho big, clumsy Clydes-
dale or Norman, with bad feet, goes
begging even in tho San Francisco
market.

PAIusH HANGED.
H. st.ee.h hi. l,oo. wi,hou. Finch.

From the White Pine News OF the
18th instant We clip the following nc
count OF the executionot Hank Parish
at Ely for the murder Of A. G. Thomp-
son at Royal City lust July:
The death warrant was read by
Sheriff BLssett in tho Jail, and ut two
minutes to IL O'Clock the solemn pro.
c~ession wendell its way FROM the Jail
to the scaifold, Parish ascending the
steps without the least apparent fear.
Thore was quite "a number OF specta-
tors within the Enclosure and Parish
stepped to the front ruling and for
five minutes addressed them. The
News scribe caught on as follows:
II have been charged with a great
many crimes; 1 killed three men and
I was right in doing it. The last man
l killed (T4omps,n) assisted in string
ing me up three times. They say 1
have a wife and family that I have
not treated right. My wife has been
dead thirteen years; 1 have two chill
dren in Oregon. well fixed. / am an
ignorant man, have 81 Says been per-
secuted and am innocent Of crime"
These words wore spoken calmly
and with ordinary GOODNESS. He made
no reference whatever to the I'm
known Rcaln into which he was
about to bs launched, nor Expressed
any regret for anything he had done.
He then stepped back On the trap
door, shook hands with tho Sheriff
and his attendants, tho black cap was
pulled over his herd, tho rope adjust.
cd about his neck-and the News re-
porter hurriodly walked into the
Courthouse to prevent witnessing the
final act in the dramu OF life and
death.
Sheriff Bassett sprung the trap;
the fall was n tt : er six feet and
the doomed mans neck was broken.
There was not q move or quiyer OF
the body, and rs soon as DR.. Camp
bell could get to feel tho pulse he
pronounced life extinct.
The whole time occupied in the
execution II but II minutes. Parish
went on tho scaffold att minutes to
twelve, and was cut down ut 10 min:
utes past twelve.
DR.. Campbell examined his pulse
before he left the jail. It was beat
ing Mt 90. When tho black cap was
pulled over his head it ran up to 142.
Sheriff Blssett and Deputy Simpson
did a good job on Parish, and we know
they feel relieved now that it is over,
for il was by no means an agreeable
duty.
That Parish was a bad man, and
not the fate he deserved, is the gen
eral sentiment OF this community.

There il q big Baptist church
colored-out in the northwestern part
OF the city. A man standing ut the
intersection Of Vermont avenue and
Il street might hit it with . store
without osOr-exerting himself. The
pastor Of that church is IA good deal
OF a vocalist, and nothing pleases his

evening last week, an everything
was moving along very pleasantly
when the pastor said: "Now, NO are

The congregation thcn shelled ont
it's contribution. It must have been

stepped to the front and said, "I1l
