THE POLL TAX LAW.

The Carson News says A new Law pass
cd BY the last Legislature provides that
any person TO vote at any election must
have paid poll tax for two years previous.
II be has been in the State long enough,
and for vi II not. Anyone who votes
without having paid the necessary poll tax
lie guilty Of . mIsdemesnor, and this got
applies 70 oil persons under sixty years Of
age.
The object Of this law is apparent-to
force the collection OF the tax-but the
News lie Of the opinion that 10 fell short 10
not providing in some way for exceptional
cases.
Everybody knows Of men who will and
have walked twenty miles on election day
to cast their vote with the losing side. and
with the side they knew would lose before
voting. The franchise is safe in the hands
Of these. They consider II . sacred charge
and are an honor TO the community In
which they reside. But IL might occur
SSeeSfoh"hJ shos . LOU mny 10 wv POof
TO pay bis poll tax. He may be crippled
or what not. and there are doubtless many
such In every voting precinct. and yet
these same men may be above the suspi-
cion even Of receiving . bride. Such men
should be allowsd to cast 9 vote also.
II has been suggested that 1t 10 very
doubtful il the law would stand the Hest,
many persons claiming that every man
who possesses the usual qualifications Is
entitled to cast . vote according to the
constitution, and that no power can de-
prive him Of that right even though he
may not have three dollars to pay poll tsx.
II is possible that not many such instances
would occur, but It lie argued that In none
can q financial qualification be exacted.
The News would like TO hear from others
on this subject and especially from those
who supported the bill.

EUREKA sHRrEvALTY CASE.
From the Reno Journal. May ISL

From the Reno Journal, May Isl
The case Of Sweeney vs. HUI, involving
the title 10 the sherif's Office Of Eureka
county. has been decided by the Supreme
Court in favor Of Sweeney. The opinion
is by Judge Massey, Chief Justice Belknsp
and Bonni6eld, Judge. conourring.
In this case the csnvassing board OF
1896 In Eureka county found that HUI
was elected Sheriff by q majority OF four
votes. Sweeney contested the election In
the District Court Of Eureka county and
the court found that Sweeney was elected
BY 9 majority OF two votes, and now the
Supreme Court finds that Sweeney had .
mallory OF seven votes. Both parties ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. Sweeney
In his appeal commended that the lower
Court enormously counted for Hjul .
great number OF ballots, which be speci-
fed. that were cast for him (sweeney).
HUI also oontended that the Court erro-
neously rejected a great number OF ballots,
which he specified, that we're cast for him,
and enormously counted q great number
Of ballots. which be specified. for Sweeney.
Each party made and fled . statement on
appeal in which each party specified his
objections TO the ballots. The parties also
filed q stipulation in the Supreme Court
for the reason and to the effect that, mas.
much rs it was impossible for the parties
TO present In their statements the different
marks appearing on the ballots. which
they claimed invalidated them, the ballots
to which each party objected should be
sent up to the Supreme Court. that the
Court might determine from the ballots
which were valid and which were invalid
and declare the result accordingly. From
inspection and consideration Of the ballots
the Supreme Court found that the trial
court had rejected some legal ballots and
counted some illegal ballots, but. not
w~ithstanding that. the findings and judg-
ment OF the lower court, that Sweeney had
received q majority Of all the legal votes
cast, was correct and the judgment Of the
Court was affirmed.
IL appears that twenty-five ballots were
handed out In one precinct to voters by
the judges Of election to which the stubs
were attached. The voters marked the bal.
lots for the candidates they desired to elect
and handed the ballots bach to the election
officers, who tore off the number on the
strip. but left the corresponding number
on the stub attached 70 the ballot and
placed the ballot In the box. From the
number on the stub and the corresponding
number placed by the Clerk opposite the
voters name. IL could be readily seen how
each elector voted. In fact the ballot was
not secret as provided by law.
The Supreme Court holds that it Ia the
duty OF the voter 70 see that he receives
and votes such o ballot as the law pre-
scribes. The voters not having done so in
these instances their ballots should mol
and cannot be legally counted. Had all
these ballots been counted II would not
have changed the result. because OF the
erroneous counting Of other illegal votes.
which the Supreme Court rejected.

HANGING OVER A JOIST
BODY OF MISS BRoWDY, BURNED
TO CRISP.
She Was Butte Lady on Visit to Her
Aged Mother in Pennsylvania,
who VIII Die.

Pittsburg. Pa, Dec. 27.-During a fire
at New Haven, a suburb of this city,
in the residence of Mrs. Mary Browdy
this evening. Miss Nancy Browdy, aged
46, was burned to death, and the mother,
aged rs, was so badly burned that she
cannot survive the night.
Miss Browdy, who came here about
a month ago from Butte, Mont, to
visit her mother. lost her life in try
ing to save some personal property from
the building. She went to the upper
floor after the flames had made good
Roadway on the structure and was
suffocated. When the house had been
gutter, the body of Miss Browdy was
seen hanging over a joist and in the
presence of about 500 people who had
gathered at the scene, was literally
burned to a crisp.
The mother threw herself into the
burning building twice in an endeavor
to save her daughter, but each time was
dragged back by friends, not. however,
until she was so badly burned that the
physicians say she cannot recover.
