The Homeopathic Question.

The correspondent who writes us about
the homeopathic controversy gives us no
information that we did n OF already possess.
We understood from the first and explained
very clearly that 1t grew out OF the demand
OF the County Society that the medical STAFF
OF the homeopathic Hospital should be re-
organized 30 as to contain only members OF
that association. 1t did not concern any
methods of treatment pursued by the staff,
and, therefore. was not needed by the Com
missioners OF Charities and Correction.
According to DR.. GUERNsEY and 1t Is not
denied by our correspondent no member Of
that society follows the principles OF HAHNE-
MANN exclusively in his practice. They all
use the remedies and methods OF the regu-
lar school OF medicine when they deem them
needful. In that respect they are not at all
different from DIR. HILLS, whom our cor
respondent criticises because OF his member
ship in the society OF the regulars. They
have ceased to be sectariAn, and are en-
ploying whatever has been proved to be ef-
ficaclous in the medical art, and In doses
which experience has shown TO be requisite.
Why. then, shouldn't they all follow DIR.
HILLsH. There Is no distinction Of principle

eligible for admission 10 the regular society
they ought 10 be equally eligible.
II the definition Of homeopathic physi-
clan Is simply his membership In society
which does not practice homeopathy, 1t
does not seem to have any meaning at all.
and we arc not surprised that DR.. Hills and
DR. GumNsEX refuse to pay any regard to
20 artificial and unsoientiho q classification
and that about ono-half Of the nominallT
homeopathic physicians Of the town remain
outside Of the association. There was reason
for its existence when homeopathic physi-
clans adhered TO the principles OF HAHSE-
MANN exclusively, but now when that 70 no
longer the case, separate society is not
necessary. II the homeopathic school and
the regular school pursue substantially the
same methods, there is no justification Tor
their keeping apart. The controversies
between the schools should cease.
They should como together and COM
blne their efforts in behalf d the
medical art. The regular society, by taking
In DR.. HILLS and other physicians called
homeopathic, shows that 1t recognizes that
the line Of separation is obliterated, and It
is not asserted in the Homeopathic Society
that those physicians have made any change
In their practice because Of their rev asso.
citation. They treat the sick just % they did
before, and as homeopathic phyBcians gen.
orally treat them.
It Is fortunate for the progress Of medicine
that this division into schools is now only
nominal, and that the practice OF the heal-
ing art Is conducted after the same general
principles by homeopaths and those they

tenn Of jurisprudence and the mode Of pro-
cedure governing civil actions are entirely
distinct from those which obtain In the rest
Of Canada. In Quebec the principles and
maxims Of the civil law are those which the
French settlers of Canada brought with
them, reformulated on the model Of the
Code Napoleon. Tho disjunctive eject Of
different legal institutions should not be
underrated. II is the distinct law Of Scot
land which, quite as powerfully as Its Preeby-
terian faith has tended to prevent the fri-
sion Of scotohmen and Engllshmen, and to
keep alive the wish for local self-govern-
ment north Of the Tweed. We may add
that the retention Of the Code Napoleon In
the Rhenish provinces Of Prussia Is not un-
reasonably regarded as a perpetual menace
TO the territorial integrity of Germany.
There Is, then, no community Of race, reli-
ligion, language, or civil law between the
Province Of Quebec and the rest Of the Cana
dian Dominion. Nor Is there any prospect
OF q change in these respects. Mr.. BoURI-
NOT himself admits that mo one can fore
see the time when an amalRamation OF the
two races will be possible, when the Ian
Runge and institutions OF French Canada
will disappear" There remains, It seems,
nothing except q community Of interests
upon which Mr.. BoURNoT can found his
hopes OF future uniflcation. But this COM
munity of interests is historical rather than
prospective. 80 long as the powers OF
local self-government were withheld by
the British Parliament from both Quebec
and Ontario those provinces undoubtedly
had common interest, and cooperation nat
urally took place. But what interests In
common have those provinces to-dayP Each
OF them has less trade with the other than
with the United States, and the dispropor-
tion Is increasing. When French Canadians
emigrate they seek our New England States
rather than the English-speaking provinces
Of the Dominion. We seem, consequently,
justified in assuming that they recognize
community of interest with New England
rather than with British Canada.

King LEOPOLD is reported to be much pleas
cd with tho idea OF settling colony Of our me-
Rroes In the upper Congo country. Now the
experience OF all white men on the upper Con-
60 thus far is that 1t requires great deal OF
tact. forbearance, and intelligence to get along
with the natives very few Of whom are as yet
anything more than the verlest savaRes. 1t is
certain that II cargo Of average American mo-
Rroes were taken 10 the upper Congo they
would como to serious grief unless they
were guarded like children. The man
eater is abroad In the land. victims
for human sacrifices are in demand. the big
men wouldn't object to buy or steal few
American wives. and as for all sorts OF ways
that are dark the average Congo native could
give his American brother half the points and
beat him at the game.
American negroes never lived In tropical
country. never saw savage. and few Of them
know any more about Africa than OF the dark
side OF the moon. II will be wise to mako haste
slowly with this experiment Of sending any OF
our colored citizens to the upper Congo.

What Has Quebec in Comm on With the
Rest Of Canada2


Rest Of Canada?
We are glad to see that the lectures on the
Federal Government OF Canada, which
were delivered last spring In Toronto by the
Hon. JOHN G. BoURINoT, have been pub
lished In the Johns Hopkins University
Series. These essays. read in connection
with the same authors discussions OF " Local
Government In Canada" printed some time
ago In the same collection, afford the in
formation needed for the comprehension Of
the internal politics of the Dominion, and Of
its actual and prospective relations to the
United States What we have In view, par
tcularly at this time, however. is one Of Mr..
BoURINoT's conclusions, which seems an un-
warranted deduction from his data, and from
which, therefore, we must dissent.
In the final page of his last lecture Mr..
BoURINor asserts that between the French
and English Canadians, who together make
up the population OF the Dominion, there is
ga community OF interests" and that "the
common efforts Of the two races" have laid
"the foundations Of a new nationality"
What constitutes the cementlng force and
binding principle OF q nationality? Mr..
BouRINor himself quotes with approval
fFOI. oEELhI . hlbWcE Iiihb 'heio dio III
general three forces by which states are held
together: community Of race. community OF
religion, and community OF interest,"" to
which might have been added a commu-
nifty OF language and community OF
institutions such as the system OF juris-
prudence and procedure controlling courts
of law. Let us apply these tests to the
Province OF Quebec. and SEQ what ground
there is for expecting that 1t will tend In tho
future more and more to cohere with therest
OF Canada in forming true nationality.
We scarcely need to point out that in
three particulars the French Canadians have
been for upwards OF a century separated
from their English neighbors by gulf
which they at all events have made no effort
and shown no willingness to bridge. They
have maintained the marks OF race by a
strong prejudice against intermarriaRe with
persons OF English descent; indeed there
are village communities on the lower st.
Lawrence which present almost perfect ex-
amples OF endogamy. They have clung to
their mother language with an obstinaoy for
which the only European parallel would have
In be sought In some of the Swiss Cantons.

and protected by treaties and by acts OF

The loss by these two fires has been placed at

such fire would. therefore, equal 8 per cent on
