SUCCESS BASED UPON MERIT.

1t is subject ot general rem ark among both
Wholesale aud retail druggists, that no meilclnc
introduced to the American puolic has ever gained
such popularity and met with SO large a sale in
all parts of the land in the same length u lme
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. This can
not depend upon its having been more largely ad-
vertised than any other medicine as such li not the
case. The correct explanation, we think, - found
in the tact that this medicine produces the most
wonderful and perfect cures of very bad cases u
bronc h,a throat and lung diseases. Is undoubtedly
the most perfect and efficient remedy for all ktnd-
of coughs that has ever been introduced 10 tho
public, and at the same time possesses the greatest
of blood purifying and Strengthening properties
that medical science has been ole 10 produce, thu
rendering it a sovereign remedy not only in the
cure of Consumption. Bronchitis, Hoar5eness ana
Coughs but also for all diseases of the liver and
blood, scrofulous diseases, blotches rough skin,
pimples black speeks and discoorations. 1t has
therefore wide range Of application and useful
ness, and il not only gives the most perfect sltisae
tion to all who it, but tar exceeds the eNpecta
tionS Of the most sanguine, thus elictiug the lau
est praise and making permanent Nrtny adyertl
ing mediums of all who use II. For these reasons
il IS that there Is not perhaps druggist in all tbs

CITY VOTERS.

a communication signed "C.n APP.
peared in yesterdays HERALD, in rela7
ton to the registration of city voters,
which, we apprehend, is calculated to
mislead. Voters in the city of Dallas,
merely as CITY voters, are not required
to be Registered BY this we mean
that separate city registration is not
requlrednbylsw. Section twelve Of the
city charter, approved March 10. 1878
page 1874, special laws), says:
sassorror /. That every male citizen Of
said city, who shall have resided therein
sixty days next preceding an election, being
q citizen, Of the, United States, and O legal
voter pthe statssof Texas, shall be- entitled
70 vote at all elections under this charter;
but each voter shall vote only In tho ward
wherein is his domicil, or in which, having
no Axed domicil, he lodges. l,.,e,s,,5 a
gBEcroN 10. That no special registration
..shall be required of voters In said city, but
all persons possessing the. qualifications
hereinbefore set forth In section twelve, and
being registered voters In Dallas county,
under the laws Of the State in force at the
time. shall be entitled to vote, Page l24.l
The foregoing sections Of the char
ter cover all its provisions on the sub
ject. Had the county court followed
the election law strictly, as it ought to
have done, b making each ward Of
the city separate and distinct cleo
ton precinct of the county, then the
city registration would stand by itself.
The first section Of the election law
provides; THAT In the city Of Galve-
ston, Houston, San Antonio, Austin,
Waco, and any other incorporated city
Of Ithis State, each ward OF said city, II
.sityated entirely, within the, limits OF
any Justices precinct, shalt constitute
oanoi election precinct" etc. But the
ccepv court, while putting each ward
In an election precinct enlarged its
boundaries So. as to. include voters in
the. country This Is the fault Of the
Soqrk and not of the law.
katRlS there Is mo- serious difficulty
about 1t. At the city election, each
ward will have its election precinct
and registration boob, aud all that. the.
election officers have to Do ito allow
only those to vote whose names are on
the book, and who actually live in that
Hfd n hR great majority Of cases,
Pie plicers win themselves know those
who live in the ward. In the few con
trarycases, the facts can be easily set
tied. So there is no real difficulty.
In the meantime, persons living in
either ward, and not yet registered,
only need go to Captain Harwood, the
district clerk, at any time to within
three days of the city election, and
have their names registered in the
prpp& precinct book. That's ali Of It,
and there's no bug under the chip.
