COLD AND HIGH FINDS.

Such the Weather Condition Yesterday in
Northern Dakota and Northwestern Rim
nescta.
Tho weather was very cold and stormy in
Dakota and northwestern Minnesota yester-
day. Superintendent Towne, of the North
ern Pacific railroad, in charge of the work
of removing the blockade on the Dakota
division, reporting from Thirteenth siding
yesterday, said the wind blew gale all the
night previous from the north, while the
thermometer marked % degrees below zero
in the morning and little improvement tax
ing place during the day. Owing to this OK
treme weather Superintendent Towne was
forced to suspend working operations yester-
day, but says that two days of fair weather will
enable him to clear the track through to Bis
marck. With his force and that working
east from Bismarck there are some 250 men,
with II engines, engaged in opening the
road. Between Thirteenth siding and Bis
marck the road is clear, except for the
loose snow which blew in upon it yesterday,
and trains are running rs far west as James
town as frequently as business demands. A
train with way passengers and freight will
leave Fargo far jamestown this morning,
and Manager Sargent now hopes to start a
train for Bismarck Sunday OR Monday.
On the st. Vincent division of the st. Paul
& Manitoba road the storm was little less
severe than in Dakota, the thermometer
standing at 10 to II below and the wind
blowing hard. In consequence, no effort
was made to run passenger or freight trains.
In the afternoon the storm subsidized some
what, and the snow plows were sent out, and
it is expected the division will be all clear
this morning and trains moving regularly.

High POtencies and Dilutions.


To the Editor of the Globe.
The article which appeared i'll your last
issue, signed by four physicians claiming to
be homeopathic, is a direct misrepresenta-
ton of facts. There is no faction in the
homeopathic practice that insists upon the
exclusive use of high potelcies, or remedies
diluted until the finest tests fail to detect any
material drug, as an index of loyalty to ho-
m@opathic principles, and the resolutions
offered by DR.. Williams ct the meeting Tues
faction, were very properly tabled.
But, from Hahnemann, the founder of the
homeopathic system of practice, down to
the present, not "small minority" but all
the adherents of our school of practice do
believe IN the efficacy of dynamized medi-
cine, when prescribed in accordance with the
homeopathic law of care, and every homoe-
opathic physician uses these preparations.
One of the signers of the article alluded
to, and undoubtedly the author of it, like
others of his kind, is DESTROYS of bringing
homeopathy into disrepute, in order to JUS
lectic and aliopathic practice of which

in mind recent case of neuralgia
for which he was caught prescribing NOR
phine hypodermicaly until unc onscieusness
was induced, and when the poor patient was
reused from this state by the severe pain,
supplemented this by repeated doses of choral
hydrate. We will add that the case did not
improve until this treatment was stopped
and homeopathy substituted, when speedy
recovery followed from a "high potency" of
the indicated drug.
We have no objection to anyone practic-
ing as he pleases, alleopathy or eclecticism,
providing he calls himself an adherent of
either or both of these schools of practice
but if he processes to be homaopath we de-
mand that he shall not disgrace our school
by INDUCING in sach methods of practice and
calling them homeopathic.
This we claim is dishonest.

"Oh, he's sanguine-thinks he has as good

"What do you think about it, Colonel?"
"Now, that's not fair question to an
swer. Sherman is an Ohio man, and, of
course, think Ohio ought to vote for him
in the convention
"What do other Republicans think?''
'Well, the Grant men think the general
will be nominated on the first ballot. 1t does
look that way, certainly. Pennsylvania has
instructed for Grant. New York is sure to
follow. John A. Logan told mo there was
not doubt about Illinois voting solidly for
Grant, and Missouri will probably do the
same thing. Then there is the South, which
will send most of its delegates Grant men,"

"Blaine will not got vote from the

"Why not?"
''Well, the South has no love for him.
Congressman Elliott is telling story that
Blaine is known to have said he hoped no
niger would be allowed in Congress. Then,
too, the South will never forgive him for
being the chief cause of the defeat of the

"Can Sherman be elected?"
"Conkling says be can not. He told me
that if Sherman vas nominated at Chicago,
he would be the worst defeated man ever
nominated by the Republicans. Conkling
also said that Grant was the only man the
Republicans had who could carry New York
State.''

THE DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT

THE DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT
AND THE IRISH QUESTION.
The dissolution of the British parliament,
after session of but q month, took that
country and the rest of the world by sur
prise. 1t had been threatened, if the OBJ
structive policy of the Irish Home Rulers
was not dispensed with. That policy inter
fered not only with the routine business of
parliament, but with the far more important
question of the passage of bills for the relief
Of the suffering and famine stricken people
OF Ireland.
There was, in measure, good reason for
objecting to the passage of the Irish relief
bill as proposed by the government. The
relief proposed was to be dispensed under
the same conditions as public charity is
given throughout the kingdom that is, a
person receiving outdoor relief was
to be dsbarred from the privi-
leges of the elective franchise.
Such restrictions would disfranehise
about q quarter of million of British SUBJ
jects who, though intelligent and otherwise
competent to discharge all the duties of citi-
zenship, were compelled by stress of circum.
stances over which they had no control to
accept the bounty of others as the only al
Tentative of starvation. So unjust was this
provision that tho liberals DISTRACTED the
passage of the bill, not from a desire to
withhold the relief from the suffering, but
from desire to preserve their rights as
