Saturday's Conven-

iton and the Future Course ot the O.O.B.P.

DITOR REPUBLICN:

I had the pleasure of looking in upon he Republican township convention at the court house last Saturday aiternoon. 1 was certainly a surprise to many to sen nany present ands much interest maninsted in a convention in which there was uo offices of profit involved. To see the tepublicans so active In the primary movements of the coming campaign gives ne some idea of the interest which the jation in the American people. We otice that the meeting was attended by nen of all occupations, there were farmmechanies, merchants, factory and professional men. The confl'cj over dej

a lks was active bat orderly and frleadj. The results were accepted by both tdes with the atmost good feeling. If ne interest manifested here in the first steps towards the national convention is general over tbe country the Democratic party will have to waken from its present apathetic and lethargic condition, or there will be one of the greatest Republican victories that was ever known in the history of any political party. Orgaiozation, union, harmony and activity should be the battlecry of every Republican from now untill November. The principal plank in the platforn should be Protection and Reciprosity, and the logical candi date is Major William McKinley. With these te rally around, a return to prosperity in this country is in sight.

PUESIDENT H. A. GOBIN

Of DePanw University Preached Two Able (Discour.ses at i'lie E. church Sun.lay. Dr. H. A. Gobiu, President of Def'auw LTuiversity, preached ably to a large audience at the first E church Sunday mi ruing. His text was: 'The kingdom of God is not meat ant drink, but righteousness peare and joy in the Ho^y Ghost." Below we give a synopsis of his sermou. He said, a true religion is needed. The most atrocious crimes have b*ea committed in the mrue of religion through misguidance and superstition. Not only pa^an but enlightened communities have bufFered thus. Persecution eliminates from the church a'l not truly belonging. Christians may differ widely yet have the same faith and be accepted of Go i. Christians ought not to be exacting of each other in non essentials. Yet the requirements of religion are positive. One may not go to a Sunday Ball game because he does not feel it wrong. The true religion is plainly given in the Bible. Some people go into the church for the social relations, others for help in business To such the Apostle would say, "The church is not to provide pleasure, neither is it a board of trsr'e or corporation.

The first element of true wlleion is righteousness. Happiness is not the vital test, but the testing element of righteousness is our devotion to trnth. Righteousness must be in our constition. Society is beginniug to realize righteousness as the foundation of business and all other relations in life. The regeneration of the individual, as also must be the redemption of the individual. Fair dealing between mm and man must be, as also charity. A man cheated another man out of a farm. He broke no civil law but the Divine law was broken. Charity girds you up in sinews of steel. Next comes peace. Seemingly a passion word, but really in active union with righteousness. Last comas Joy. We may speak of pleasure, gladness and happiness, but Joy over tops them all. Joy is the product of our own decision. The first comes from the outside. Joy from the inside. It is divine in qualify, and eternal in duration. A young minieter in Kansas, broken down in health must take an ocean voyage. He agreed with his wife that when he reached Liverpool, if he was tbe same as when he started he would cable, "sick". If he was a little better, "fair". If a great deal better, "Joy." When he reached Liverpool he was greatly improved. so unler the deck, across the Alleghanies, over the Mississippi and plain flashed word "Joy." Our friends in heaven, if permitted, would flash the word "joy" to their sorrowing ones here.

THE ELECTRIC SfPIRlT.

With wild wings fettered I ride the wires. My life fiada issue in blinding fires, Bright shapes are wrought by my flying breath. Bat my touch is flame, and my kiss is death.

Since man hath bound me wlth coil and chain. Nor sea nor space can his word restrain, 1 wind my circles cf burning speed The found globe over to serve his need.

Of warring winds 1 am lting and lord The storms come wielding my radiant sword. I laugh in light t:s the swift strokes fly. The sullen thunders make slow reply.

With mystic prssion I yearn from far To my secret hon.o 'neath the northern star, Ana thence, on the vast black wa.,s of night, I fling great rays from my gates of light.

Time flc?es before me, ar^.none may know My course as ircm star Wi-iar I go. For am lifo. In the utmost dark God's touch enkindled my fervid spark.

Think ye to know me, O ye who raise My torch of liunu: 011 the world's highways? Ask him wlio.-.e thrcne is the central light Of countless suns in their wheeling flight.

With fierce strength fettered, I ride the wires. Prometheus spirits have tamed my fires, But God alone, in his chosen hour, Can free the force of my nameless power. —Slarion Couthouy Smith.

A RUSE THAT LOST.

She was my first love, and so far as I cau tell, shu may prove to be my ouJy oue. She is now a buxom wife with Eomo four or five rosy, romping children, and I am stii] a bachelor. Eut time is a great healer, and I can now tell the story cf myluckicss suit with Dura lauigwick without a pang.

Dora was the only daughter cf a retired London medical man. At the tir?e I first made her acquaintance her father had retiicd frcni practice and was a widower. I fell head over heels in love with the girl—though I can hardly believe it when I look at her today—and she consented to marry me if tho old doctor gave his consent. She never professed to have any deep affection for me she liked mo, however, and was willing to become my wife if her papa approved.

But ihe eccentric old man would not hear cf it. I remember how dejected I was after he had told me, with considerable vigor, that I could not become his son-in-law, and how indignant I felt at bis declining to give me any reasons for his decision. The following day I met an old college frieDd in Bond street— Douglas Bligb.

You are not looking very bright,'' he said. "What are you worryiug about?" Bligh also was a doctor. He had walked the same hospital as old Rudgwick, only many years later. "A love affair," I confessed, with a forced smile. "Ah I thought something of the sort. Girl thrown you over?" "No, not the girl—the father!" "Oh, that's nothing! If the lady is Willing, love will find out a way, and papa will come round." "He is a pigheaded oid doctor—I beg your pardon, but I suppose a doctor may sometimes be pig headed like the rest of us?" "Undoubtedly. Do I know him?" "Dr. Gordon Rudgwick." "Oh, yes. I am acquainted with him. I also once met Miss Rudgwick. I congratulate you, old fellow. A charming young lady, 'pon my word. But the old man—bal ha—no wonder he rejected you!" "Why?" "You are too healthy!" "Too healthy 1" "Yes. You ought to have some interesting and deep seated disease—something complicated and lingering 1" "I—what on earth are you driving at, Bligh?" "Don't you know? He's"— and he touched his forehead with his forefinger. "You don't mean it?" "Yes. He is mad on one point. He has a contempt for healthy people, and respects only those who are suffering from some terrible disease." "But his daughter never told me." "She doesn't know. They have kept it from her. And this is the cause of his want of parental affection. There is absolutely nothing the matter with the young lady. Now, what he wants is a son-in-law riddled with disease. You must get some internal growth or"— "Good heavens, Bligh!" "Come with me and I will coach you up in all the symptoms of a most interesting malady. Everything will then turn out according to your best wishes."

"But how did you discover yoa were in possession of this striking disease?" said Dr. Rudgwick in a state of ecstasy. "Well, I have had suspicions for a long time," I replied, "that something was wrong, but I kept the opinion to myself. A few days ago, however, I tried to insure my life, and the medical officers of half a dozen companies rejected me. I then went to a first class man, was thoroughly overhauled, told exactly What was the matter with me and informed that I was one of the most extraordinary cases that had ever come under his notice. He gives me only six months." "Ah I The symptoms are most remarkable. I have not been so interested for a long time. It is certainly a very curious case, unprecedented in its complexity." "Do you really think it is so serious?" "Oh, I hope so. I think I may safely assert that the man you have consulted is absolutely correct 1 in his diagnosis, if the symptoms are as you say." "Do you think I shall survive it?" "Not unless you allow the course of the disorder to be interfered with by those sentimental quacks who hinder the advance of pathological science by seeking cures." "But six months is very short," I said despondently.

4'Not

at alL With care, the thing may

be induced to run its course even more quickly. Drugs and a low diet may be made to do a good deal in accelerating matters." "What would you advise? Should I consult Sir John"— "No, no, noi Don't consult anybody.

vc ..IWB.,

Don't meddle wftih it, or you may spoil all" "But perhaps a cure"— "Cure, *ir! Don't talk such sickly nonsense, or I shall begin to think it possible that yon could do such a mean and dishonorable thing as to rob medical science of one of the most instructive, beautiful and striking cases that have ever enriched the literature of pathology." "What, then, is the use of pathology if doctors are not to cure?" "Pathology, sir, treats of diseases, their causes, effects and symptoms. It is a branch of knowledge, an interesting abstract study, a recreation. It has nothing to do with treatment, cures and such like quackeries." "But what may be sport to you is death to us." "Why, we must all die, and what could be nobler than to die in the cause of science? By the way, you were speaking to me about my daughter the other day."

I shook my head in a melancholy manner. "Well, I have been thinking I spoke hastily. She is yours. I shall be proud to have you as a son-in-law. To watch the course of your complaint will be a privilege and a delight. Marry as soon as ever you like. I think you will find Dora somewhere about the house. See her and fix the matter up. iut Dora was not to be seen that clay. She had go3ie to her room indisposed.

When I called the next morning, the housekeeper told me that Miss Rudgwick hud gene on a visit to friends at Brighton, but had left a note for me. I opened it and read as follows: "I overheard your talk with papa, and am so very, very sorry for you. I do so hope that ycur state is not so bad as you fear, and that you will not lose courage and will scon get well, "Of course everything must now be at an end between us. It would be madness to talk of marriage. I shall always think of you as a very dear friend, and I want you to believe that you will have my most sincere sympathy."

I put the letter in my pocket and went home. What a mess I had made of it 1 First I had gained the consent of Dora and failed to obtain that of her father. Now I had obtained the doctor's consent and lost tbe daughter's. Fancy her overhearing all that I said and thinking I was speaking the truth abcut the diseased state of my body! And yet, why should she have supposed I was lying?

One thing was certain. I must find her out and explain all. Dr. Rudgwick knew the name of the friends whom Dora had gone to, but he could not tell me the address. He had been accustomed to allow her to go and come pretty much as she pleased.

A week passed, several days of which I had spent at Brighton, without anything being heard of her. One morning I strolled round to Dr. Rudgwick's to learn whether his daughter had written, when I saw an empty cab standing at the door. "Miss Dora has just arrived, sir. I'll tell her you are here."

I stepped into the drawing room and waited. In a few minutes I heard the dear girl running down the stairs. My heart leaped with joy. "How do you do:" she said, placing her little hand in mine and looking into my eyes with infinite pity. "I do hope you are better. You are looking pretty well." "My dear Dora, I was never better in my life. That was all untrue about my illness. I am in perfect health." "Untrue?" "All of it. I will explain it to you another time." "Then you are not going to die in six months?" "I hope not, nor in six decades. Are you sorry?" "Sorry? Of course not, but"— "I have your father's consent to our marriage. Darling, you will now be mine?" "Impossible!" "How so?" "Well, the fact is—I—I am married!"

I sprang back amazed. "You see, I thought you were a doomed man. I heard it from your own lips. Marriage with you would have been mad, impossible. And papa's strange talk alarmed me, especially when he gave his consent. I was terrified and feared his anger. So I went away to friends at Brighton. There I met Captain Aiusworth. He was my first love, and I have never really lost my affection for him. He asked me to marry him, and—well, I did so at once, as he is going out to India. You really cannot blame me, can you?"

No I didn't exactly blame her, but I cursed my fate, and I told Bligh that he was the biggest fool in his profession, for which he has never thoroughly forgiven me, though he says he has.—London Tit-Bits.

Napoleon's Advice About Hortense.

Louis, who was governing Holland with reference to its own best interests, and ordering the affairs of his own family rigidly, but admirably, received a severe and passionate reprimand from the emperor for his economy. What was wanted was pay for the troops, plenty of conscripts, encouragement for the Dutch Catholics, and a giddy court, where men would forget more serious things and where Queen Hortense could make a display. "Let your wife dance as much as she wants to. It is proper Cor her age. I have a wife 40 years old, End from the field of battle I recommend her to go to balls, while you want one of 20 to live in a oloister, or, like a Wet nurse, always bathing her child." —Professor Sloane in Century.

A Bond.

"Yes," said the Cumminsville sage, "I don't doubt that having fought in the came regiment is calculated to bind men togstlur firmly, and so is a membership in the same lodge, but for real, heartfelt sympathy gimme two fellows who have tbe same kind of rheumatism. '*-~€ftnrferaati Enquirer.
