MORE AMENDMENTS NEEDED.

The amendments to the Walton law
in the caucus bill recently passed by
the State senate, are good as far as they
60, but they do not go far enough. Uni
formity In the printing of the ballots,
and the repeal of the obnoxious one
constable feature Of the present law,
are changes imperatively demanded by
every sense of fairness and justice, but
the people Of she State desire some
thing fuller and more complete in the
way of amendments.
There ia no arrangement in the cau-
Gus bill for posting the official ballot
outside the polling place on the day OF
election. and there is no provision for
the adoption of emblems to denote the
respective parties.
Representatives OF each political party
should be allowed at the polls and at
the counting OF the ballots, and whatso.
ever assistance any OF the judges may
give disqualified voters, it should be
outside the booth, 40 that the ballot box
may always be in sight of the one so
officiating.
With these changes added to those al :
ready made, and fair and open ap-
pointment Of the officers OF cleo tion by
the county court, in regular session, an
honest election law may be enac ted +,
one that will meet the demands OF the
situation and remove from the State the
reproach which the lawn king powers
have heretofore placed upon her.
It is not known what course the
house will follow in the matter OF
amendments to the election la W; but the
feeling Is growing that 1t will make
some improvements on the caucus bill
In response to the urgent demands of
the people for honest elections. Should
this be done snd a bill acceptable to the
fair minded people of the State enacted,
the osrty in power will receive full
c. for ite work in that direction.
+. neglect to meet the prevailing
sentiment of the majority of the voters
OF the State, however, will, as we have
said before, result disastrously to the
Democratic party, and give to new
men the leadership and control of the
affairs OF the Common wealth.

-1ne skeleton of Do soto:r

The local historians of Baton Rouge,
La, believe that the mortal remains of
Fernando De Soto lie buried between
two gigantic live oaks near the present
site of Port Hudson. The books tell diff
ferent tales about the death and burial
Of the great discoverer. Some say that
he was wrapped in his mantle and
thrown into the Mississippi; others that
the remains were incased in hollow
log. In 1853 three ENTHUSIASTICALLY,
Davis and Hurin-were encamped near
what is now Port Hudson. While kin
ding fire they found human skele-
ton in hollow log that had been lying
in drift. The bones were those Of man
six feet tall. In the log helmet, q
rusty sword and a large bronze oruciflx
were also found, and ON one Of tho fin
gers of tho skeletons hand a large seal
ring. Tho discoveries Of this CHASTITY
memento believe that the remains were
those Of Do Soto, the discoverer Of the
Mississippi river. The burial place of
the bones is we'll known to the Rigsbys,

HoYT,s A TRIP TO CHINATOWN,


Which will be presented at the audito-
rum both nights of the Valley Fair, next
Wednesday and Thursday, has a special
interest from the fact that it is the most
successful of Hoyt's comedies, and it will
be presented by one of the best companies
ever seen in the play. This merry farce
was seen at Hoyt's theatre, New York, for
$50 consecutive performances. Not only is
this the longest run ever known in the his
tory of farce comedy; but no play, no mat
ter what its character, whether drama,
spectacular, opera or farce, has ever before
been given for so many consecutive per-
formances in the metropolis. Previous to
the run of "a Trip to Chinatown" The
Black Crook had been given 476 times !;
Hazel Kirke, 4S6 times; Humpty Dumpty,
483 times and Adonis for 603 performances.
In some other instances New York runs
had to be forced, but in this respect, Mr..
Hoyt was forced by the public to continue
his play, seats often being sold for months
in advance. The production that Brattle-
boro theatre goers will receive next We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings will be
identical with that which has had such a
success in the metropolis. The cast in
cludes Laura Biggar, Burt Haverly, r. G.
Chamberlain, Harry Rossiter, Jno. P.
Brown, Benjamin LETTER, jeanette Lilford,
Kate Michelena, Isabelle Chamberlain and
Maud Myring. The musical numbers with
which the comedy is literally interspersed
have become famous throughout the land.
1t is the aim of Miss Biggar and Mr.. Hav-
eTly to make the production an exact coun-
terpart of the metropolitan engagement in
every way. The sale of tickets opens at
the box Office Monday evening at 7 o'clock.
