POLL TAN RECEIPTS.

The Poll tax feature of our e}ec-
tion law has now been tested.
We hardly think that 1t meets the
approval of any body in the Stat ,
unless it be among certain oficiaIo
who find it greatly 10 their ad-
vantage to hold on to Office. It is
generally considered fair and hon
est to use any methods, not illegal,
to obtain votes. Whether illegal,
or not, we know that even IN
Carroll county, away UP here
whore we breathe pure air and are
not affected by swamp politics,
undue advantages have beon
taken over the poll tax receipt to
secure votes tor certain candidates.
Anyway we have personally
observed enough and thought
abought it enough to cause us 10
ask the following questions: Is it
either right or lawful to enter the
name of any person for a poll tax
on the tax book after the books s
are closed? Is it right to issue "a
poll tax receipt bearing no num-
ber? Is there anything in the
present law that prevents AN
officer from issuing Il poll tax
receipt without entering the name
Of the tux payer on the tax books !
Is there any thing to prevent
officers from loaning poll tax re-
ceipts to the voter until be votes
and then take lack the receipt
mark ed "unpaid"? is there any
thing in our presen. law TO pre-
vent private persons from buying
receipts for dellnquents III con-
sidel alton of votes?
These questions are not asked
for the purpose Of refecting o"
any officer or other person, but
simply for pointers that our law
<ers should consider.

Louisiana,s pefaulttng Treasurer.

LOuisiana's Defaulting Treasurer.
In our dispatches from New Orleans
yesterday it was stated that there is no
foundation for the report that the gov
eminent Of Honduras has agreed to sur
render to the Louisiana authorities Mai.
+. A. Burke who at one time, was treas
rer of that state. and who is charged
with being a Gcfaulter TO a very large
amount. The report was based upon the
fact that Mai Burke was very active in
opposing the revolutionists, who were
finally successful. and who are now in
control OF the government.
It is true that Mai Burke was, and
still is a staunch friend OF Gen Bogran,
who was president of Honduras. and
whose government was Oyerthrown by
the revolution Their friendship began
in 1883, when Gen. BoEran went to New
Orleans TO attend the cotton exposition,
Of which Maj Burke was director gen
erai When Mai Burke left Lou
isiana he went to London. and
from there to Honduras where he and Gen.
Bo-ran engaged extensively in gold min
inc. It has been stated that they ,accu-
mulatcd a great deal of money and that
Mai Burke would have been able in a
very few years to make good his defalca-
ton TO the state of Louisiana if the reyo-
luton had not broken out. He did all he
