Success Based Upon Merit.

1t is a subject of general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American pul,Ec
has ever gained such popularity and met
with 80 large a sale in all parts of the land,
in the same length Of time as Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This cannot de
pend upon its having been more largely adyer-
tised than any other medicine as such is not
the case. The correct explanation, we think
is found in the fact that this medicine produces
the most wonderful and perfect cures of very
bad cases Of bronchial, throat and lung dis
eases, is undoubtedly the most perfect aud ef-
ticient medy for all kinds OF coughs that
has ever been introduced to the public, and at
the same time possesses the greatest of blood
purifying and Strengthening properties that
medical science has been able to produce. thus
rendering it n sovereign remedy not only in
the cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Hoarse-
ness and Coughs but also for all diseases of
the liver and blood, as scrofulous diseases,
blotches, rough skin, pmples, black specks
and discolorations. 1t has therefore Il wide
range Of application and usefulness, and it
not only gives perfect satisfaction to all who
use it, but far exceeds the expectations Of the
most saguine, thus eliciting the loudest praise,
and making permanent living advertising me-
d!ums of all who use it.

Reasons Why We Should
Have a Postal Telegraph.
About two years ago the
Post Master General forwarded
a new set of keys to all the
Post Masters in. the United
States, with the information
that a new lock had been
adopted by the Department.
The locks failed to make their
appearance, but about a year
ago a new set of keys were
sent out, and still the new lock
has not made its appearance.
This is the Department
which is 60 anxious for Uncle
Sam to buy all the telegraphs
in the coHntry for 1t. If the
good old gentleman should
consent, only think what fun
the contractors would have in
furnishing insulators, and after
they had been stacked up al
the Offices all over the country,
how the "old clo' men" would
enjoy gathering them up and
selling them for old glass. By
all means let the government
buy the telegraphs, so that the
genius of Americans for i'm
proved inSulators may be more
fully developed. "s

= The Judge introduces the
key to his little joke by saying,
'"Sales in Politics are often
charged and as often denied"
This is q serious sentence with
which to commence the expla-
nation Of q joke, and as true as
it is serious; therefore we ap
proach its consideration with
due gravity. The Judge had
his own case In mind when he
penned this solemn sentence.
But in his case the sale has
been often charged, but we
have never heard it denied.
The principal thing we have
heard remarked about it was
the small amount transferred,
the inferior quality of the
goods. and how it was posi-
bic for the Demolibocratic
party to find anything small
enough 10 give as a consldera-
tion. i
N. B. We again acknowledge |
that we are the insignificant
nothing that the Judge referred
to, and again request the
prompt payment of that five
dollars.

Vinton county bears a greater

two-thirds Of all the other

we look around us and see how
little the county has to show

much has been squandered an,

clique which gave us this debt
will only give US more if they

Improved sIail Service.

IL tno Oot OulCo OophTl-
ment is anxious to improve the
mail service, and we believe it
is, the first move it should
make IS to abolish distributing
Offices, in the sense and for the
purpose which they are now
used. They area relic of the
old stage coach era, and, like
those ancient vehicles, should
be laid aside. They are worse
than useless-a serious incon-
venience and source OF delay
to the public. Every mail train
has its agent who distributes
the mail to the various points
along his route. There is no
reason why he should not as
sort the mail into sacks for the
different routes beyond the ter
minus of his route, and turn
it over directly to other agents.
instead Of sending it, as at
present, to a distributing Of
fice," where it lies from twelve
to forty eight hours. We may
leave Macarthur to-day atnoon,
and arrive at Chicago in time
for business the next day,
transact our business, and re-
turn to Macarthur the next day
at noon-forty- Eight hours. 1t
would take a letter from a week
to ten days to perform the
same journey. Why9 Because,
unlike a passenger, it must lay
over and take it's chances at a
distributing Office.
Again, our New York dailies
must consume from twenty
four to forty-eight hours more
time in making journey than
a passenger. Indeed, they, ar
five with the most provoking G
irregularity, often failing to
come, and again, three and four
arriving by one mail. We are
wlllin 6 to make a due allow
ance for failure of trains to
make connection, but are
forced to the conclusion that
the major part of the trouble is
in the distributing Offices.
Not only do the public suffer
this inconvenience, but these
distributing Offices are seri-
GUS expense. They are usually
in large cities, occupying
grounds of the most valuable
rental, and massive buildings
,cOsfing-Im millions, with thou
sands 81, high;salaried clerks
and assistants. Let these be
abolished, and a part OF the
money now used for such pur
poses be applied to procuring
ad 1ltional route agents on ad-
ditional trains. Thus the peo-
pie will be better and quicker
served, at less expense. The
mall service needs to be reor.
ganized in accordance with the
facilities of the age. In the
days of stage coaches distribut-
ing offices were a necessity; in
the days of railroads they are
a delay and encumbrance. Let
us have fast mails before we
invest in postal telegraphs.
