Storm Nnfes

Since midnight yesterday the thermometer
at Chicago has gradually fallen, touching I2 .
below zero at 10 o'clock last night. Very lit
tie snow has fallen during the last twenty
four hours. Reports from outside the city
show that the blizzard is still in force. Where
trains are not detained by snow, they are de
layed In some cases several hours by the Sc
verify OF the temperature.
The weather at Jacksonville, Fla, is clear
and cold. On Saturday night the mercury re-
corded 2l at the signal Office. The oranges
remaining on treSs are frozen and their loss
will probably be complete, but the trees so
far are not much injured. il was slightly
warmer last night.
The Thermometer at yesterday morning
registered 10 below. 1t rose during the day,
but began sinking in the afternoon At ~ go
last night it marked Q below. Railroads are
nearly all crippled, many trains being an
hour late.
The mercury was down to IA : Yesterday

RABIES

A Milwaukee editor has had an exper-
fence with reference to the late hydropho-
bic panic in that city similar to that of a
Third street morning newspaper i'm this
city, with an attempted smallpox scare
some time ago. When the editor wrote
dOubie-leaded editorial denouncing the
statements which had been telegraphed TO
the Eastern press, magnifying the hydro
phobia epidemic in Milwaukee, he was re-
ferred to the columns of his own paper.
from which the telegram had been copied
verbatim. Still there were enough cases
of hydrophoba in Milwaukee TO cause UNI
easiness. The numerous cases of hydro
phobia reported in various parts of the
country is sufficient ground for strict ordi-
nances in all cities against dogs. 1t might
be safe for every city to follow Philadel-
phia's example and adopt an ordinance SOL
EMMY declaring all dogs at large TO be pub
lie nuisances. A dog Is always a fayorite
domestic animal, but so far as its utility is
concerned dog in city is as useless as a
fifth wheel to wagon. 1t is remarkable
fact, however. that more bitten people
die of fright than of rabies. The London
Lancet in deprecating a senseless public
alarm on this subject says: ''Hydrophobia
is nervous disease, but IL has a material

EAU CLAIRE.
The Great Lumber Center of the
Badger State.
Specialize the Globe.

Specialize the Globe.
EAU CLAIRE, Jan. 9.-Eau Claire is by
far the most important city between st.
Paul and Milwaukee on the line of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis * Omaha
railway, and is known throughout the
Northwest as the great numbering center Of
Wisconsin. The saw mills of the city num-
Der fifteen and are provided with all modern
devices and machinery for facilitating the
manufacture of lumber, lath, shingles, etc.
The yearly output of lumber alone amounts
TO something like 500, 600, 600 feet, and EN-
ploys about ,, 900 hands. Machine shops,
iron fOundries, planning mills, sash, door
and blind factories and paper mills come
next in order i'm the way of manufacturing
industries, employing a small army of me-
chanics and unskilled labOrers and adding
no incOnsideTable sum TO the immense rev
enue derived from lumber products. In a
commercial way the city is scarcely less
backward, and owing to its
FAVORABLE LOCATION
and excellent railway system, which COM
prises three lines of road. is fast assuming
Importance as a wholesaling center. As
yet little attention has been paid to the
manufacture of any Of the various lines of
woOdenware, though why this should be so
- uOi IcdullN llllutiSloou w llu tllc auullu-
ance of water power, ineXhauStible supply
of raw material. railway facilities, etc,
there is no better location in the
West for capital and skill To en-
gage in wOOdenwaTe manufacture.
Eau Claire is now a city of fully -, 0OO in
habitants, and is rapidly gaining i'm pOpula-
ton. AS a city it is thoroughly metropoli-
tan, possessing about all the modern i'm
proyements so far devised. including the
finest system of water works in the North
west, just completed at a cost of $500. 900,
and embracing twenty-three miles of mains;
it also has two complete plants of
ELECTRIC WORKS,
lighting the whole city; extensive gas
works and the most elaborate telephone
system in the state, street car lines; has two
daily and six weekly newspapers, etc. Eau
Claire is a prosperous and progressive city,
and year by year is growing in SIZE wealth
and importance. To enumerate the public
and private improvements of the past year
would be too much TO attempt at this time.
Suffice it to say that many costly and hand
some buildings have been erected, among
which is the largest and cOstliest Catholic
church in the state and county Jail equal
to any in the West. Eau Claire offers rare
inducements to manufacturing industries.
and it is confidently expected that the
coming year will be one of marked inn
provement in this line, as the city authOrit-
les, board of trade and many substantial
citizens are fully alive TO the importance Of
these needful adjunctS, and will spare no
effort or fail in Offering any reasonable in
dueements looking to that end.

ST. PAUL,s ADVANTAGE.

In reply to the GLOBES argument that
Duluth could never hope to compete with
st. Paul in the jobbing trade, the Duluth
Tribune makes the singular statement that
the Mississippi river lis about played out
as a commercial thOroughfare, and from
such premise argues that ST. Paurs loca-
ton at the head of navigation of the Missls-
sippi river is of no advantage TO its jobbing
interest. This kind of argument is some
what OH the line of a prominent railroad
president, who insisted that the policy of
improving rivers by the general government
was wrong because in one instance the
amount of business done on the river dur
ing one year did not equal in amount the
appropriations made by the government for
improvements. Grant that these statements
are true, and yet it does not follow that the
natural thoroughfares are useless or that
the government should relinquish its i'm
prOvement policy. The main value of our
waterways is in their capacity as freight
regulators. AS the GLOBE has heretofore
stated, if there was not a single boat on the
Mississippi still it would be worth more
to the people of this section than
all the railroads that were ever built
or ever could be built, from the simple fact
that il regulates railroad freight charges.
The fact that the river is here and can be
utilized as commercial thoroughfare will
always keep railroad freight rates at mini
mum. 1t is because of this fact that the
GLOBE has repeatedly urged the city au-
thOrities TO be cautious about surrendering
any Of its levee privileges. We need the
levee as a check on the railroads. If the
railroads carry freight as cheap as it can be
shipped by water, it is mat
ter of Indifference TO the shippers
whether boats run on the river or not. The
point is that the river is and will be kept
open so that boats can be put on whenever
our commercial interests require it. Thus
it is that st. Pauls location at the head of
navigation on the Mississippi gives itan adj
vantage as the commercial center OF the
Northwest that can never be overcome.
We are not disposed TO deny to Duluth the
natural advantages it possesses and have
pointed out TO the enterprising peo-
pie of that city how, according
to our judgment, they can proceed
to develop their resources and make a great
city of Duluth. A young town sometimes
makes as great mistake by overestimating
its capabilities as by Understanding them.
The main thing is TO start right. When
once started on the wrong track it is some
times difficult to switch off and get back to
the beginning point. One good beginning
is worth more than a score of bad starts.
The DAvY CROCKETT motto of being sure
you are right and then going ahead is just
as applicable to the development of cities
as 1t is to the conduct of individuals.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

There is so much SoLoMON-like wisdom
in the following extract taken from the
Philadelphia Record that it is worthy of
reproduction. The record says:
The philosophy of holiday advertisers who
fill the columns of newspapers with their an
nouncements in the holiday season, when
everybody wants to purchase. and then alb
stain from advertising on the theory that
nothing further is 10 be gained by publicity,
will not stand the test of examination.
Large buyers and judicious buyers who do
not want trinkets keep away from the stores
in the holiday season. They know that they
can do better after the holidays are over.
Advertisers who understand their business
advertise more heavily in the season Of dul
trade than in the season of lively trade. il Is
the slow horse that needs the lash, not the
fast one.
Newspapers, as a general thing, do not sell
so well and are not so thoroughly read during
the distractions of the holidays as they are
before and afterward. The whole value of an
announcement TO the advertiser depends upon
the circulation Of the newspaper and the hOl-
iday season gives no greater advantage I'm this
respect than other times in the year.
The steady-goers are the successful adver-
tisers. They build up their business by keep
ing themselves before the public summer and
winter, and whether 1t rains or shines. or is a
feast day or a fast day.

The Montevideo Leader makes the point

tation of being the only state in the Union.

Northeastern states, whose representatives

majority opposed to the suspension of silver
coinage. The Leader says: 1--WE are very

represented as they should be on this oues-
ton. Minnesota is unquestionably I'm SYM
pathy with the great producing regions of
the West and South on this great question.
and not at all in sympathy with Wall street
or that portion of the East that takes its
cue from Wall street, and we think IL
highly probable that something will be said
to this effect when the people come to vote
again." 1t is always gratifying TO find
partisan newspaper with sufficient indie
pendence to rebuke its own party repre-
sentatives for falling to discharge their duty
to the people they represent. Every man
In Minnesota knows that the agricultural
interests of this state are not identified with
the interests Of Wall street, and there is no
sort of excuse for a Minnesota congressman
representing his constituents in this respect.
As the Leader intimates, the people of this
state will make themselves heard when they
come to vote again.

SACRIFICING DAKOTA.

Our Washington dispatches this morning
intimate that owing to the partisan coloring
which has been given to the Dakota adj
mission question, there is no probability of
Dakota being admitted this session. We
regret this If it be true. The GLOBE has
urged that the question of admission should
not be one of partisan politics. 1t is mat
ter that should stand entirely on IFS own
merit. 1t seems that Dakota's interests are
being sacrificed by the sO-called friends of
Dakota. When Mr.. HUGH CAMPBELL
undertook to force the question of Dakota's
admission on congress as political ISSUE
he placed the territory at disadvantage
If the question of admission had been per-
mitted to come before congress Invested of
all partisan features there could have been
no controversy about it, because there
would have been no preteXt for it. When
two gentlemen who go down to Washington
claiming to be senators-elect from Dakota
and presenting their claims for recognition,
are sending their runners around through
the territory soliciting penny subscriptions
TO pay hotel bills and lobby expenses, it is
not an incident very well calculated to in
spire respect for the pretensions of the in
dividuals who possess so little appreciation
of the dignity of their position or of the
sincerity of the claims of the territory they
profess to represent. Notwithstanding this
effort to sacrifice Dakota in the interest of
a few designing politicians, we still have a
hope that it will pull through all right and
will yet be invested with the rights and dig
nifty of statehood which it merits
