drunk, or the drinking, seemed
to predominant. 1t seemed more
like the branding of cattle than
the selecting of officials"
Upwards of one hundred of
newly naturalized citizens were
voted while many intelligent
Americans were denied the weap-
on of self defense because of a
legal technicality."
The last picture in this Sc
ries is after the vote is taken.
The weary voters then wander
out, or stagger out, and seek a
sunny place on the grass where
they may enjoy a long tranquil
sleep. = Formerly they were
wont to leave the candidates with
their material wealth increased.
The unhappy aztec would have
a candle tackled down in the hip
pocket of bis shapeless trousers
a package of meat in one hand
and a sack of meal over his
shoulder. But after the election
he may wander away to his desc
late home in the chaparal."
The picture drawn by the edi-
tor of the Guide will answer,
with some slight changes, for a
picture of voting on the San
Pedro" Hundreds of Mexicans,
most of whom had strayed in
here from the cotton fields, had
no real residence here, but had
been registered, sat about the
curbstone in the vicinity of the
polls, refusing to vote until they
were paid to do so. 1t was here
that Mr.. Slayden got his plural
ity.
Not only does this ignorant, H.
literate alien vote corrupt our bal
lot box, but also demoralizes
the men who are candidates to
such degree that they do not
hesitate to purchase these poor
people, and afterwards take the
oath of office and commit perjury
without the slightest qualm of
conscience. The oath of office
reads: "And I furthermore SOL
elmly swear Tor affirm) that l

HOW TO WARD OFF AN ATTACB

In speaking of this much dreaded d.
sease, Mr.. G. NJ. Dixon, of Pleasant
Ridge, Pa, said: 81 have a little girl
who is troubled frequently during the
winter months with croupy affections.
Whenever the first symptoms occur,
my wife gives her Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and the result is al
ways prompt and satisfactory" This
remedy is used by thousands of moth
ers throughout the United States, sand
in many foreign countries, and always
with perfect success. 1t is only ne
cesary to give it freely when the
child become hoarse or as soon as the
croupy cough appears and all symp-
tons Of Group will disappear. For
sale at 25 and so cents per bottle by
all druggists.

If you have ever seen a little child
in the agony Of summer complaint,
you can realize the danger Of the
trouble and appreciate the value Of
instantaneous relief always afforded
by DeWitt's Collie and Cholera Cure.
For dysentery and diarhoea 1t is re-
liable remedy. We could not afford
to recommend this as a cure unless

RIO GRANDE VOTERS.

The Alien Mexican is Used to
Elect Our Congressman.
The Eagle Pass Guide, Dem
Ocratic paper, gives graphic
description of voting on the Rio
Grande," from which we clip ex-
tracts:
ITO those who witnessed the
campaign on this frOntier-espe-
cially the closing scenes of it
there were sights to marvel over.
And be it said to the credit of all
concerned that the sights in
question represented neither an
American or a Mexican spirit"
THE paradee, the free beer
which includes a number of other
fluids peculiar to this latitued-
the subsisting of constituents and
their families, to some extent, the
price of naturalization papers, and
the bridge toll which these new
~ acquired citizens must pay on
coming over from Mexico the day
before the election; the cost of
free rides which your Mexican
voter pOtently believes he is en-
titled tO-all of these constitute
a rather formidable array of ex-
penses, when it is borne in mind
that Maverick county numbers
only about $4,000 population, and
that the positions are not of such
magnitude"
"The Mexican's vote is a mar
ketable commodity. For months
before the election he carries it
about in his hand, figurately
speaking, and it may be had by
the highest bidder. What else is
it good for? He hasn't been
taught that there is no principle
involved"
But the highest pitch of rival
ry and excitement is not reached
until the night before the election
1t is then that the dusky voters
are 'cOrralled.'"
"a corral is simply high
walled enclosure, with a single
point of ingress or egress, into
which the Mexicans may be con,
gregated."
"Once inside they may be com.
pared with rats in a trap-they
find it all but impossible to get
out of the guarded doors. A few
bushes are willingly liberated
and these work the town and
surrounding country as steerers.
Within the noisy riot are induced
to eat and drink to stupidity, and
in this condition they become
yielding and obliging subjects
The next morning almost with
the dawn they are loaded into We
hicles of every kind and carried
about town until the polls are
open. The candidate then make
out his subjects ballot, takes his
subject and the ballot to the
polls, shows his subject and pass
es in the ballot"
One of these enclosures was
situated on a slope not far from
the Rio Grande--within sight Of
the long row of lights across tn,
upper bridge, in fact"
''The lame, the hale and tn,
blind were brought to the polls
in the course of the day, but TIT
