TO ascertain in what way tho current
Shreats to '.count out" the regular Democratic
6icket could be carried ont, we have taken
She pains to examine the State election law
A careful perusal OF its provisions shows that
fraud can be perpetrated at the polls only by
complete sets of partisan commissioners ap.
pointed by partisan returning officers, acting
in cahoot with partisan clerks of election,
chosen by partisan police ijurics. Then the
sheriff would also have to be in con spiracy to
defraud the people Of their rights, us he ap.
points deputies who attend the voting and
who transmit the returns and boxes to the
returning officer and clerk of tue court. The
returning officer, save the appointment of
the commissioners, performs no other func-
tion than to compile the returns as they
come from the polls, and his compilation has
30 be certified to as correct by the clerk of
court upon comparison with the returns.
The clerk Of the court, besides, transmits to
she Secretary Of State one OF the triplicate
returns from each poll, by which the latter
officer can verify the correctness of the COM
pilation of the returning officer certified to
by the clerk Of the court. Any Justification
of returns or false compilation of tho return
ing officer is punishable by IL heavy fue and
imprisonment in the penltentiary. Penalties
are also provided for any fraud committed
by other officers.
The voting must be in public; the box eau
not be moved from its place till the counting
is over; and any citizeu who desires it must
DO permitted to witness the count. During
the voting citizens can stand al the poll aid
watch the voting from beginning to end.
Therefore, if there arc vigilant citizens at
sach poll, the law euables them to prevent
fraud, oven ii all the commissioners and all
tue election officers Of the parish were in
Dahoot to commit fraud.
The sheriffs and clerks of court are elected
by the people and We imagine that in many
parishes these officers will be found opposed
so the perpetration of fraud upon their fell
low-citizsns. Fraud must be done by tho
commissioners at the polls in full view OF the
public aud it viii be the fault of that public,
from negligence or fear, to watch if fraud is
Proper preparations to eterals demand
strict compliance with the law aud punish
fraud will ensure fairness

Why the Teacher Should be Early.

A teacher should be at tho school
house early every day for the following
among many reasons adduced:
/. "To set in example.H-As is the
teacher, so will the pupil learn to be.
| 2. "TO prevent mage."-Childrcn
| arriving at the school room early get to
playing in and about the room and very
| frequently do unintentional damage.
3. "To see that all is right. "-There
are many little things to be "put to
rights" or arranged before school
opens.
4. ITO secure ventilation" 49, The
house, shut up from the time the school
closed the day before, is unhealthful,
and should be opened and fully aired in
season to be warmed and closed at
school time. -.
5. To greet pupils" -- Children
kindly and cordially greeted on arriv-
ing at the school house are far less ill.,
clined to torment the teacher through
the day.
6. ITO administer disciplne.'-A
kind greeting and u kind word Of dis
cipline spoken to one who has been
careless or misbehavCd the day before.
when he eau he thus approached alonc,
is far more efftctual than detention at
night or punishment 10 the presence of
the school.
7. ITO help those needing assis-
tance."-DuGing the school but little
personal assistance can be given. If
an industrious pupil thinks he can be
helped in some difficult point if at the
school house before school time, lie will
appreciate aud avail himself Of the op-
portunity.
s. To win the love of the pupils
Kind greeting, kind words, kind assis-
lance will win the love OF tho pupils,
whether they are themselves the reci-
pients or see it given to others.-School

A FRIaHTFUL SCENE.

A false alarm Of fire caused panic in
Jewish synagogue crowded with wor.
shippers last Friday morning, in New
York City. In the rush for the stairway
four people were trampled to death and
q dozen seriously injured. The panic
occurred in q building occupied by three
synogogues, one on each hoor. In the
synagogue on the top floor candle acci-
dentally ignited bit of drapery. I'm
mediately an excited individual yelled
fire. Then rush from the exit came.
At the front of partition door there
was q Jam, then a crash and part of the
board wall gave way. The mass fell and
rolled down the steps of the stairway.
Three times as many persons were at
tending the synagogues on the lower
floors, more than 1000 in all. They
heard the rush and crash above and
heard the cries of "fire, and immediate
ly they likewise made rush for the
street. AT the second floor the two
blind and maddened human ayalanches
met. A furious struggle ensued. Mer
and women fought, dumb, but with the
madness of despair, aud the weakest went
down. The deadlock was broken again
and again, only to be renewed with th'
same scenes of terror. Slowly a solio
mass, filling the stairway from wall t.
ceiling; slid down to the ground floor
Down there it was brought against tn
rush from the roar room of the synagogue
and came to dead stop. The polic'
patrol arrived at this moment, and tn
officers finally broke the jam. Fou
women lay dead and nine are seriousl,
/ injured

Nevada is exceedingly fortunate in
having such a wide-awake, broad-minded,
able man as f. G. Newlsnds asking the
suffrages Of the people for Congressman
The Tuscarora Times Review says there is
not man over the broad expanse OF the
State that knows its wants and needs,
its resources and capabilities and the fer.
tlity of its numerous valleys, better
than he. For years past he has been nm
firing in his efforts to utilize water from
the principal streams Of the state for
irrigation purposes, For years he has
been attempting to solve the water stor.
age question, and to that end has spent
large sums of money in having surveys
made and plans prepared. He has dem
onstrated its practicability and shows
conclusively that such system will be
of immense benefit, as well as being one
OF the principal means of placing Nevada
in a leading position among the States,
whore she of right belongs. He stands
fairly, squarely and unequivocally with
the people in their struggle to emanci-
pate themselves from the clutches of the
gold bugs and with him it will be qnes-
ton Of measures, not men.
Nevada has always been represented IN
the halls of Congress, but its next repre-
sentative in the person of Mr., Newlands
will be the peer of any man in the House.

CHINESE MUST OBEY THE LAW.

The San Francisco Call last week pub
lished letter from the presidents of the
Chinese Six Companies to tho Collector
of Internal Revenue at San Francisco in
response to inquiries by the Collector as
to whether the Six Companies had ad-
vised the Chinese not to comply with the
provisions of Fthe Chinese registration
law passed by the last Congress. The
presidents of the Six Companies inform
the Collector that they have issued such
circulars, advising the Chinese laborers
that the law is unconstitutional and can
not be enforced, and that they have
told the laborers not to comply with the
law, as their American lawyers declare
the registration law is 10 violation OF
treaty rights.
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Mason emphatically states that if the
Chinese in this country do not register as
required by the law, they will to GER
tainty be deported to China when the
period allowed by Law has expired. A
good many people hopo that the Chinese
will stand firm That would be final
settlement of the Chinese question, as
the American government would not be
triAed with any longer.

and Congressional tickets, representing
the Democratic, Republican, Peoples
and Prohibition parties. The Republi-

Justice are John f. Richards aud Henry

State Senators in the famous deadlock
which happened the first legislature of

Miss Ella L. Knowles is on the Peoples
ticket for Attorney General, and has the
distinction of being the only woman can
didate for such an office in the history of
the country. The question of the State

burg last week. Bergman was perfectly
cool during the progress Of the trial At
the conclusion Of the testimony for the
State, Bergman refused to be sworn, but
read long statement in his own defense,
declaring his act the outgrowth Of the
oppression Of labor by capital and assert
ing that struggle between them was
near, with the result Of the freedom Of
labor. His reason for shooting Frick
was to rid the earth Of an opprsssor Of
workmen. The Judge had finally to
limit him as to time, and then cut off hir
discourse. The jury returned verdict
Of guilty without leaving their seats.
When the verdict was announced Berg
man said he did not expect justice and

to 81 years in the penitentiary and
