rum NEW BAlIor LAW.

An examination Of the new ballot
Law passed by tho recent Legislature
shows that the Assembly amendment
TO the original bill is not 70 serious n
matter as we wero led to suppose.
Section 81. which provide, that but
ono person shall occupy any one booth
or vctins compartment at one time,
romAins in tho bill ns passed; and the
only change is in providing for as
Ristiug a disabled voter in pre-
p ring his ballot. Onthis subject the
original bill provides as follows:
SIC. ~. A voter who declares
unl6s oath, that by reasoaof physical
disability he is unable to mark his
ballot shall, ut his request, receive
the assistance ot any two OF tho cleo
tion uiiiscrs that he may choose In the
marking thereof. aud such officers
shall there ifter give no Information
regarding the
This section was amended in the
Assembly, and the law now reads as
follows:
So. -. A voter who declares
uLler oath that b. reason VI physical
disability, lie is unable to mark his
ballot, shall at his request DO per
United 10 receive the assistance. in
such marking, ~ an electur, other
ti,nn an elect on officer, but no person
shalt ba permitted to go inside the
guard rail ms an assistant to more
thau ono voter.
A will be seen the law does not
permit an assistant to 80 into the
both with the v,ter, but only within
tho guard rail; and the fact that nc
oao porSou is permitted to assist more
than one voter is another safeguard
against fraud. No provision is made
for tho assistance oil n voter on ac-
c,lnt o; illiterLcy, and those who
cannot road English must set about
learning tho language il thcy desire
10 vote ut the next general election
This is n it should be; for the man.
who has not sufficient interest in the
public welilre 10 learn enough Ut tho
English language TO enable him 10

The law is IN admirable one, and
o;sry momber Of the Legislature who
voted for it deserves tho thanks OF ali
wh) ars in favor OF n puro ballot.
Unior the now law the purchase Of
votes is almost. il not quito, mn i'm

general election to show II fair ex-
preston OF the will OF the people in
tho selection Of State and county

The Denial.

The attention OF our readers is di-
rccted to n b-ief communication from
the officers of Elko county. 1t is
simply q firm, genilcmanly and posi-.
tive denial of the i~nsinuations, or
rather specific charges, that the re-
cent spectacle was originated or per-
pctrated by the oiiicars Of this county.
In making this denial they indulge
in no recrimicatiun or bi!ingsyate
but merely rc!uto the SANDER heaped
upon them. 1t is hardly probable
that tho respectable portion OF Elko
county will be deceived into the belief
that the Indignation manifested WIS
prompted by the reduction Of salaries.
for that in itself is n small matter;
and when it Is proposed to hold the
officers o. tho county responsible Tor
an ungentlcmanly and Objectionable
expression Of disapprovHl Of IA
measure which cannot be successfully
defended, the effort falls still born.
The officers OF this county are too
well and fdvorably known TO resort To
anything more than n plain denial OF
the charges, confident that they still
enjoy tho confidence and respect II
the voters OF the county.

Sec. 2. The County Clerk of each

Have q Good Cry.

1t may comfort some nervous and
emotional women to know that a
French physician has declared in fa-
vor of "good cry" He encourag-
es groaning and crying during sur
gical operations, and is of opinion
that such patients as yield to their
emotions and let natures grand out
lets for allaying pain be unchoked
recover more quickly than those who,
from a feeling that it is weak to ut
ter groans and cries, restrain them.
He cites case of a mau who brought
his pulse down sixty beats by giving
himself up noisily to his strained and
nervous condition for two hours. So

rest in the belief that science sane
