What is a Stable Government.
[St, Louis Post-Dispatch,l

One of the general cries of the stalwarts
and GRANTEES is for more stable" Govern
ment.
Here is, for instance, Mr.. Congsr, = lead
ing Republican member of Congress, who,
in an interview published by our Republican
contemporary, connects the idea of Grant
nomination with this idea of a stable gov
eminent in this interesting fashion:
His nomination may become a necessity ;
such an emergency, in short, as may be taken
TO be forshadowed IN letter of Grants which
/ have seen. In this letter he seems to init
mate that, while personally averse to further
public honors, ii such contingency should ever
arise that the Republican party felt it to be a
necessity to nominate him, then he is at the
honestly expresses his inclination and his
feelings-thaJ personally he Is not a candidate.
and Grant is the best representative OF that
idea. By stable government mean firmly
fixed, with the fruits of the war fully preserved
"Our used0bf course means the use of
the Government for and by the Republican
party.
The fruits of the war;" from the Repub-
lican standpoint, means only the possession
of power and plumber.
"a stable Government firmly fixed" from
this standpoint, no doubt, means one where
the executive power and patronage are not
liable to change.
Grant is the best representative of that
idea" says Mr.. Conger. No doubt of 1t.
uninterrupted by such trihss as elections
every four years, or public opinion, or the
will of the people.
A stable Government means the abolition
of the limitation of any one mans power to
eight years.
A stable Government means the election
of Grant to third term.
A stable Government means that this third
term shall signify radical revolution; that,
once re elected, Grant is to remain in the
White House firmly fixed for life.
We are opposed to stable Governments of
this kind.
We want a Government of the people, by
the people, for the people. A Govern
ment created by elections, firm but flexible,
subject to change whenever the people
demand it.
Great and dangerous powers to the liberty
of the people no political party should enjoy
too long.
A term of four, and not more than eight
years in the White House has given us q
sufficiently stable Government SO far. The
country got along very well upon the old
plan. We see no need for an innovation.
The most stable governments that the
Republicans have in eye are empires like
Germany and Russia where the executive
power is subject to no change. save death
subject to no control of the people.
Our old Government is good enough for
us. We don't wish q new one.

Good Management in Life Insurance.

A Letter Written Two Hundred Years Ago
by the Translator of the Indian Bible.
From the Boston Advertiser.l
The pending discussion about the Ponca
Indians, and the efforts to have justics done
them in regard to their lands. and to have
their CAUSE pleaded before some competent
tribunal, recalls q letter of the celebrated
John Eliot to Governor Winthrop of Co..
necticut, during the period of King Philips
war, in 1875. The second paragraph of this
letter is as applicable to-day as it was 200
years ago.
For Hon. Mr.. Winthrop, Governor of Connect
lieut., these.
HONORABLE STR have thankfully re-
ceived your very loving and prudent lines,
which breathe The very spirit of Christian
last and unavoidable remedy. What the
causes OF the war were / suppose Plymouth
God and us, think our sins have ripened us
for so severe scourge as the war hath and
is like to prove. We were TOO ready to
flea; but now we find that ali the craft
is In catching of them. and that in the mean
praise God for the peace with Narraganset,
unteiwhich yeur forces, under Major Win
throPs command, did very much contribute ;
and the juncture of that overruling Provi-
dence In timing OF the coming OF your letters,
which remanded your forces one-quarter OF
peace, does much encourage our hearts to
adore the overruling hand of God appearing
In THESE motions.
Sir, Ihumbly request that one effect Of this
trouble may be to humble the English to do
the Indians Justice and no wrong about their
lands, and l make bold to request that Cap
tain Dennison may have free leave, without
offense to the English, to plead the Indians
cause.
Our doing them justice about their lands
may, by the blessing of God, open their hearts
to the word of God, TO bring them to religion,
which do earnestly desire may be another
effect of this great Nation. The Indians have
very sinfully refused praying 10 God, but they
do much justify themselves by the example
of the English. For when 1 have exhorted
them TO keep the Sabbath and pray TO God
they have answered me; "Why do you speak
SO TO us? Why do you not speak to your Owl
countrymen? We do but as they do"
greatly desire that effect of these wars
may be to reform these great sins among the
English. We had need be serious in this mat
ter, lest God should chastiss seven times
more by mis- next visitation But shall give yor
no further trouble at present, only commend
ing you to the Lord desiring prayers, res
your nonor's 10 serve you in our Lord Jesus,

What Is Compound Oxygen?
1t is combination of oxygen and nitrogen,

There is no known remedy that viii so

cure of many diseases that have and are now
battling the best medical skill of the land. A

is this class of diseases, having their origin in

The comparatively small number Of new
