why the Inorease d Insanity?

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal;
The convention Of superintendent Of insane
asylums recently held in Philadelphia, among
other things, gave attention to the relative in
crease Of insanity to the increase of the popula-
ton. and decided that the insane are increasing
more rapidly than the population. Their investi-
cation incidentally took in some collateral ques-
tions. Among these is the development Of the
fact that this increase is largely found among the
foreign born among us; also. that while the for
eign born constitute only one-eighth of our pop
ulation, they furnish one-third Of the paupers,
one-third OF the criminals and one,third of the
insane. This corresponds very nearly with other
investigations in the same line, and furnishes a
topic for careful and patient inquiry The rem
edy may not be easily applied in any case, but
certainly more easily if we can approximate the
cause.

EsTHETIC BABIES.
What Kate Greenaway's Books Have Done
Towards Beautifying the Infants.

What Kate Greenaway's Books Have Done
Towards Beautifying the Infants.
New York Dial.
Idont know that the babies are any prettier
SO far as flesh and blood 60, here among these
little aristoerats In fact, it is likely they have
not the abundance Of dimpled flesh which counts
as beauty in young babyhood No. nature has
shown no favor again here Dear old mother,
she is not to be bribed nor corrupted. She
alone is unbeatable, but am not one of those
who scorn the aid of dress, always in an appro-
pirate way-even for little children; and dress
and Kate Greeuaway have made most fascinat-
ing pictures of these enchanting little creatures.
No wonder men and women, as they cross the
park on their way to the offices, stop for an in
slant to gaze on some sweet vision of beautiful
childhood. Certainly in the revolution Miss
GTeenaway has created in children's attire she
deserves something more than the mere success
her talent has received by limitations, but here the
beauty Of no-copyright law comes in. Miss Green
away would have made a large fortune, and with
perfect honesty, had she been able to control the
bookseller that she only received a small sum
for the first edition in London, yet hundreds of
thousands have been sold in every country.
Tho book has been translated into every civil
lied tongue; indeed, Mr.. Sarony told me, to his
astonishment, he was offered in Spain a year ago
some handkerchiefs with Greenaway pictures on
them, and meantime his friend and bcautifer
of little children, who has not only done so
much for them in outward grace but has been
the means, with her charming books, of giving
them hours Of delight, must be satisfied with
the scant reward a knowledge of her fame may
be to her

HOW ShaIl We Knnm9

TOT the Editor of the Indianapolis JournaI
l am temperance Republican who approves
the State platform as far as it goes, especially
that plank fayoring a constitutional convention.
But believe the convention should not only
have declared in favor of a constitutional con
vention, but also have given plain and definite
reasons why such conventions should be called
and, among other reasons, declared in plain Ian
guage that the proposed amendments, which
were defeated in the last Legislature, should
be submitted to vote Of the people by said con
yentien as separate articles Of the new constitu
ton.
Now, will you please answer to the satisfac
ton of the prohibition Republicans how, or in
what way we are to decide whether the con
stitutional convention is for the purpose Of form
ulating a prohibition article or for the purpose
of formulating an article forever excluding pro
hibition from the State2 / must confess can
not tell from the phraseology of the platform.
You perhaps can explain the matter 1t is evi
dent that the Democratic convention believed
the Republicans meant it for the temperance
people. j. D. MIrcHEIL+

BISHOP SIMPSONS MANTLE.
Plans to Make a Successor Resident in Phil
adelphia.

adelph1a. Vi
Phiadelph1a Record.
The death of Bishop Simpson has deprived
Philadelphia, for the present, at least of resi-
dent Methodist bishop, the episcopal board havt
ing some time ago arranged the episcopal resi-
dences as dire cted by the General Conference,
There is, however, disposition on the part of
Philadelphia Methodists to make an effort to
have Bishop Simpsons place filled as soon as it
may be accomplished if the bishops will agree
to arrange the matter. 1t is commended that the
General Conference, in making out the list Of
cities in which the bishops might select their
residences-one of which was Philadelphia
vested the bishops with absolute power
in order of seniority, to make their own selec-
tion, which carried with it the right to reartange
the residences in the same manner if all of the
bishops agree. It is not probable, however, that
any change will be made very soon, but, when
ever practicable, it is suggested that the laymen
of the church in this city will hold meeting
and ask that such Encouragement may be had as
to give this city, the center Of the greatest
Methodist population in the world, a resident
bishop 1t is probable, also that a fund will be
raised for the purpose Of building fine episco-
pal residence here so that extra inducements
may be held out
As yet all of the plans are in embryo, but it
will not belong before some definite action is
taken. No name has been, as yet, even suggest
ed. but it is supposed that one of the younger
bishops would be more likely to be the successor
of Bishop Simpson.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Harpers and Mr.. Blaine.

10 the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
On my return to the city after several days
absence my attention was called to an editorial
In your issue of the 23d inst, wherein you credit
me with the charg lof Harpers hostility to Mr.
Blaine because they did not get the publication
Of his book. You say "a similar charge has be-
fore been brought against this firm by distin-
guished author Your attention was undoubt-
edly called to this matter through the pubhca-
lion of an article in the Chicago Tribune. /
have nothing to retract in that article as my
convictions have been very materially strength
ened by reliable evidence disclosed to me since
your reference to it.
+ am firmly Of the belief that the Harpers are
actuated in their opposition to Mr.. Blaine from
mercenary considerations With you, / am
10th to attribute motive of this kind to men Of
such altitude in their profession, but with you,
1 cannot help having forced upon my at
tention the inconsistent and, as it
Hsrps %eekg owsr sn0R Ms Blame soos st the
present time As you say the cN5 printed IN
Harper's Weekly May ID, 1876 gives the opinion
Harper's Weekly entertained at that time of the
8landerous stories they are now attempting to
put in circulation against Mr.. Blaine.
Now, wherein has Mr.. Blaine changedl
Through series Of years Of great prominence,
leading up to the close of the Chicago conven-
fion, the Harpers and Curtis have given Mr.
Blaine their grateful support in all things per
tanning to his character and craftsmanship Mr.
Curtis as editor of that paper, has time and
again referred to Mr.. Blaine's brilliant public
record with that degree of praise that led every
patriotic heart to swell with pride at the mere
mention of his name. What has Mr. Blaine
done since their last words Of commentator
were spokenl Can they answer with satisfac-
tion to themselves or the peoplea It seems to
me not They stand dumb as the condemned
culprit at the bar of justice. Are they not
lashed with the guilty consciousness of moral
turpitude shamefully and painfully exposed to
public gazel Their mouths are closed as to the
real cause of their treachery and deceit which,
if they dared utter aloud, would add only deeper
condemnation.
But the people are not deceived. The true
animus of the Harpers against Blaine is assert
ing itself. Since the publication of the Tribune
article notice several journals have caught up
this spirit Of the true inwardness of the
Harpers, and are suggesting, as ] noticed in a
Shelbyville paper, yestesday, that to "appease
the Harpers Mr.. 81 aine ought to subscribe for
their paper and give them book to publish"
Now, I think this sore needs an effectual
probing, SO that the people may know just what
kind Of a boil the Harpers and Curtis are made

Condition Of the ..Rowdy West.

Chicago Tribune.
How is the Rowdy West this morningl
Pretty well, considering
What particular act Of rowdyism has it com
mitted since the nomination Of Mr. Blaine?
Well the rowdy farmers have been running
their rowdy plows through rowdy burrows and
raising rowdy wheat and corn, and rowdy pigs,
besides rowdy butter, eggs, and chickens with
which to feed the United States and part of the
rest of the world
What further acts Of rowdyism are they likely
to commit
They will put their rowdy ballots into the
boxes next November, and give James G. Blaine
every electoral vote of every rowdy State from
the Golden Gate to Lake Ontario. Being only
rowdy Westerners they cannot go any further;
but they will call on their brother farmers in the
East to do equally as we'll and they will not call
in vain.

Our Herald, Lafayette.
True to its instincts, the Democratic party of
Indiana, declared, in its State convention held
on the 10th of last month, in favor of free
whisky, and against all progress and reform.
The platform is as long as the moral law, and is
made up of stump speeches on almost every con
ceiyable subject from the old Constitution of the
fathers, down to the question of Chinese immigra-
ton, and yet it does not so much as allude to
woman or her rights Fearing lest the
voice Of the people might be heard on the suf
frage and temperance questions in constitu
tional convention, they declare against such con-
vention, and add 1T will be wise in this mat
ter to let well enough alone"
