Much has been said and written as to the usefulness of alcohol in the practice of medicine, and the doctors, as in all cases, disa- gree as to the advantages gained by it's use. Some prefer the com mon whiskey. But there is con siderable danger in the use of m-r- cury and potash. These strong mineral poisons, in the hands of a skillful physician, may be made to serve a good purpose. We want it understood that we make no war on the regular physician. Tue danger in the use of these mineral poisons is when they are compounded by iynoramuses into nostrums as general "curc- -alls." " The fearful results of these nos trums are apparent to the casual observer on every thoroughfsre, We see mons faces giving ev. idencc of excruciating pain, we note the halting step and the un- wieldy crutch, we hear of sore thrOats and loose teeth, of disor- dered stomachs and loss of appe- tite, the emaciated form and sunk. en eyes, all telling of murdered constitutions by indiscriminated d use of these strong poisons.

WASiIINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular Correspondent.
 Washington, D. c. Feb, 18th, 1886 At last the issue between the President and the Republican Senators has been directly raised and the Senate's ultimatum is the talk ofth day. What does fl amount to, and wathcr will it lead. In reality it amounts to noth- ing more than the expression of an opinion by small portion of the Senate. Some Republican Senators, in caucus, declare that they will confirm no nominations made to fill vacancies created by removals unless the reasons asked for are furnished. This position will probably lead to temporary dead. Jock between the President and Senate Tn certain test cases. It is not likely, however, 10 bring on very serious conflict, though there will doubtless be hot polit. ical discussions over the abstract principles involved. The Presi- dent will not be coerced into abdi- cation of a vital feature of the Ex- ecItive prerogative' He may be relied upon to hold his ground, The Republican Senators are by no means united. A number of them who were not prepared to take sucn extreme ground absented themselves from the eau. cus. Still, the ultra Republican members carried the day, for their resolutions were finally adopted as expressing the sense of the caucus, and however much individual Senators may feel that their party has committed a grave error, they are now bound to act in conformity with the eau GUS decision.

HOS. THoS. c. MCRAE'S bill to protect homestead settlers within railway limits passed the House last week. It is very important bill, and will save thousands oi dollars 10 farmers all over the country, where homesteads are be- ing taken up-especially in Arkan' sas and Texas, will it help the az ricultural class. There is little doub. the bill will pass the Senate and become law
 The following is a full text of the bill:
 Be t enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Ca, = ted States m Congress assemb'ed, That all homestead settlers on pnb- lie lands within the Railway limits restricted to less than one hundred and sixty acres of land, who have heretofore made or may hereafter make the additional entry allowed, either by the act approved March. third, eighteen hundred and seven ty-nine, or the act approved July first, eighteen hundred and seven- ty.nine, after having made final proof of settlement and cultivation under the original entry, shall be entitled to have the lands covered by the additional entry patented without any further cost or proof of settlement and cultivation; and in all such entries patents shall is- sue as soon as reported to and ap- proved by the General Land Con- missioner.
 SEC. ?. That All laws or parts of laws inconsistent with this act be, and the same are hereby, repealed; and this act shall take effect from and after it's passage.

WEEK before last we took occas' ion to answer MT. Jno. NJ. Pittman, who had written us an open letter in the Dispatch, in quite face tious manner, therefore our ans wer was in the same strain. Many friends pronounced our answer complete and satisfactory. Mir. Pittman came back at us last week this time in a sarcastic and satr- cal way-and like child or sim pleton. asked the same questions over again. Now, we have better use for our space than such repeti- ton. As we said when we first wrote the article ''Dem0cracy Ns. Greenpackism," we expected some such reply as has been given, but we do not care for it, and will not notice it, so we consign MT. Pitt man to the oblivion from which he sprung. As would-be Green back leader, he has not been asuc- cess. nor as a merchant was he, yet possibly, he might have been one of Christ's disciples @ if he had lived at the time the Savior was on earth.
