stood, and more closely practiced. This
would tend TO prolong human life TO say
nothing of avoiding the great amount of
suffering to which humanity Is ignorantly
subjected. One of the greatest enemies to
woman Is found in the follies of dress,
which sometimes requires sacrifice of
comfort and an exposure of person to a
dangerous degree. Man follows closely
with his dissipations in every way, and not
only the men and woman suffer but they
entail their sins on posterity. Health re
formers are numerous, however, and THE
RFrUBLIcAN does not propose TO enter
that field. ii has no suggestion t. make

Snlpkins on Reeve.

To the Editor cfkts Republican.
SIR: ! notice In the Warsaw Union,
the Plymouth Democrat, the LaPorte ar
gus, and in many other so-called demo-
cratic organs of this vicinity, criticisms Of
the legislative career of Hon. G. ii. Reeve
which seem to me to be of a very un-
friendly character. Mr.. Reeve is one of
our Oldest citizens, man fully identified
with the growth Of Plymouth, Marshall
county and Indiana from wilderness TO
its present dimensions and fame. For
over forty years Mr.. Reeve las been
among us and of US. During all of that
time lie has been universally recognized
as man of brain, as leading citizen
and as safe conscientious and reliable
counselor and advisor in all matters,
either of public or of private concern.
During all of this time Mr.. Reeve has
been consistent and an earnest democrat.
When his party attempted a wrong Mr.
Reeve at all times exposed and manfully
denounced its fallacies. He never sought
an Office. Time and again he has declined
honors which his fellow citizens would
have gladly bestowed upon him.
Being to much of a man too submit to
the dictation of would be leaders OF the
democratic party when their orders were
given In contradistinction 10 his own
sense Of right. he has incurred the dis
pleasure of men, vastly his interiors, who
are now assailing him. Mr.. Reeve was
nominated by the democracy for Senator
over the editor of the Democrat, who
scarcely found himself mentioned in the
convention, and over all other candidates
whom his enemies could array against
him. He was elected by the people who
admired his talent and appreciated his
sterling honesty.
Hundreds, who, like the writer, claim
no place in the democratic synagogue,
voted for him because they trusted and re-
spected the man and despite the cold
shoulder given by those small rigs, would
be leaders, he was elected by triumphant
majority. Democratic journals which
find no occasion to criticise an Eaton or a
Davis and yet give room to every slur
which envy heaps upon their only repre-
sentative Of talent, and worth. and integ-

wHATWILL sECURE HEALTH.

A few evenings ago party Of savans
were discussing the posterity question,
and after much profound argument it was
concluded that no man or woman having
any incurable disease should be permit
ted to produce children. 1t was thought
that by such means there would soon be
no more persons afflicted with chronic o.
incurable diseases. That is, when the
present generation of sickly people die,
there will be only healthy ones to take
their places. The result would be most
happy one, IL such thing were possible,
If the result would be only health
ful race Of people. 1t isl fact however
that the children of healthy parents are
not always free from disease ofa lingering
character. The probabilities of health are
In their favor. And on the other hand it
Is quite frequently the case that the child
rem Of feeble parents are most healthy,
and live to good old age II Is not so
much in the parentage of children to be
well OF sickIy as In the care and raising
which they receive. Children are more
likely to inherit the intellectual cast of
their parents than they are to take physi.
cal characteristics. Advanced thinkers
conclude that the most feeble and puny
infant may be so physically trained that il
will become rugged adult, and live long
life. Bot even supposing that il is deter
mined to confine the legitimate produc-
lion OF posterity to such persons as are
of sound constitution, how many men and
woman are tree from all defects? Physi-
clans might approximate an answer to this
question, and IL they where TO report the
names Of those in this section who a,c
absolutely free from any taint of disease,
the number would be astonishingly small
There is therefore no better way of solv.
ing the health problem than that of max.
ing true higien principles better under

The Warsaw Union copies an item con-
corning Blue Jeans from THE REPUBLI-
BAN and says:
lis IL any wonder that the average Re-
publican who confines his reading to such
journals as the REPUBLICAN should have
formed an idea that Governor Williams
was scarcely human that he was man in
all respects unfit for any position in the
gift ofthe people There Is a growing SEN
timent, however, in favor OF Gov. Will
Jams and his honest. simple private and
public life. Before his present gubernat
orial term Is ended he will have made
thousands Of new friends among the very
party TO which the REPUBLICAN belongs.
We are sincerely of the opinion that hon
est Blue Jeans Williams will make one of
the most popular Governors Indiana ever
had
The REPUBLICAN sincerely hopes that
Blue Jeans will make q good Governor.
But the toadies have smote him hip and
joint, and instead of proving an honest,
simple" man. he stands forth at the Oc-
cidental hotel as the champion Of great
ietes. He is likely to be famous for the
style Of his receptions and dances, rather
than for executive ability. The Union
should endeavor to save him before he
forms bad habits.

It is to be regretted that such journals

so low as to ridicule the talented senator

and a. public servant should entitle him
to respectful mention. He was elected by
the democrats, and stranger reading the

AS Hayes is legally elected and Tilden

TO any kind of a plan Which gives him a
new shuttle and cut. And the more elab
crate the shuttle the more chances for
him.
Sober people outside the unwholesome air
of the capital are amazed to hear of such
propositions To set aside the National con
stitution being entertained and actually
agreed to by representatives of the two
parties. The revolutiOnists of France
hardly tore old institutions to pieces more
rashly. What they are proposing to do
is of immeasurably more importance than
the question whether Hayes or Tilden
shall be President. The nation can sur
vive the Presidency of either. But after
this revolution of the constitution in the
matter of electing the President, and this
usurpation by Congress of power 10 say
who shall be President, and even 10 job IL
out for ontside persons 10 decide, il is not
likely that we should have any more cleo
tions of President by the people Nor
could respect for the constitution remain
after this assumption by Congress of
power to set it aside.--C Cincinnati Gazette.

A New Orleans correspondent of the
New York Catholic Rerier, Columbus"
in recent letter to that paper writes:
On Saturday night few weeks ago, one
CT the most prominent and well known
men of the South had a dream that led to
his conversion the following morning. He
imagined that u Catholic priest stood at
his bedside and called on him to arise and
confess his sins. He answered am not
prepared as yet to do 3d." The priest
without taking any notice Of the reply
again repeated the came words, "arise and
confess your sins" more earnestly. The
i'm preston was so vived that he awoke
and remained sleepless for the rest of the
night. Next morning while walking
through the city, he came to Catholic
Church in which high mass was being cele-
brated. He entered aud as he did 30 was
bewidered with surprise to recognise the
priest on the alter as to all appearances the
identical one that had visited him in his
sleep eight or nine hours before. He re-
NAMED in church until mass was over;
then called on the priest, related what had
happened, and concluded by saying. "And
now desire to confess my sins and become
a Catholic" He did so, and is among the
first at early macs in the morning, and is
always found there long after all others
have departed.
