whose fortunes are on the decline might be
benefited. The cold-hearted Spectator
might be benefited; but the farmer, whe
is the character mostly to be attended to-
will be the loser.
All Banks are species of gaming shops.
They are to be dreaded with as much hor-
ror as the swindling shop of a ''black leg
Money is the LURE in one case, as well as
the other, and both should be stunned by
all honest men.
If this abomination should be urged any
farther in the legislature, will again

VANDALIA:
Wednesday, February I3, 1893.
Our last eastern papers bring no foreign news.
RANK RILI.


1t will be seen by reference to another column that
bill to incorporate State Bank has been reported
in the Senate and uuder consideration IN that
body. We have not had an opportunity to examine
the bill but learn in Brief that it proposes to estab
fish one principal Bank and three Branches, with
capital of 100000; one third to be owned by the
State John Tillson,jr. is to be appointed agent to
loan the portion of the stock to be owned BY the
state, and is authorized to allow an interest Of fee
per cent Scrip is to be issued for the state stock
fedeemable in years. The Bank is to 90 into ope-
ration as soon as onethrd of the stock shall be paid
IN, in gold or silver. There to be q directors,
TO be appointed by the state and by the tockhold
ers Interest on loans is fixed at eight per cent Pee
nlaton or maconduct the part of the officers of the
Uank lie made penitentiary offence. No real estate
can be held by the bank, except such as may have
been received as security for debts bona e due and
all real estate so acquired is to be offered at public
sale at stated times, and sold when it will bring a
sum sufficient to cover the debt, interest, and ex-
penses incurred. No loans to be made upon hypoth-
ecation of stock, nor any dealings allowed in any
thing but gold or silver. and bills of exchange Full
and accurate reports of the affairs of the bank to be
Nhde at each session of the legislature.
The charter to continue in force wears.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE WABASH.

The bill for an act in relation to the money appro-
priated to improve thenavigaton of the Great Wa
bash river, by an act approved the 10Th January,
1929, passed the House of Representatives, the 9Th
inst, and needs only the signature of the Gov
ernor to become law. Strong opposition was made
to the bill in the House of Representatives, as well
as in the Senate. An attempt was made in each
house to divert the Appropriation from its original
object, and apply it towards deraying the current
expenses of the government; sufficient strength how
ever, was found with those who were determined to
sustain the character of the State for consistency
and good faith, to pass the bill by respectable ma
jority.
After the passage of the bill, Mr.. Anderson of Wa
bash, gave notice of his intention to introduce bill
to authorize August Tugaw If Wabash county, to
erect dam on the bar at Coffee Island, for the
Gouoie purpose of improving the navigation of the
river IN very important particular, and affording
facilities for the erection of machinery Mr. Ander-
son observed that, in accordance with the earnest
wishes of his constituents, he should have introduced
Similar bill at an earlier perod of the session. but
Tor the want OF the report Of the United States eng-
neer, j. l.. Smith, upon this and other distinctions

intended to appeal in support of the measure con-
temp!ated by his bill The report has been recently
procured and precribes, as the most appropriate
means OF Improving the navigation at this point, the
erection of dam rom the Illinois side of the river

For the IThig and MteVigencer.
NEW STATE BANK,

Some of our public agents at Vandalia,
are seriously disposed to establish Bank
again in this state. The policy of bank
ing is at all times mnch to be questioned;
but at this time bank would be ruinous.
And moreover, who wants Bank? The
farmer has no need for il, and has not call
ed for it.
Experience ought to teach all classes of
citizens to beware of banks. Have the
representatives of the people forgot the
Old Edwardsville bank? and the recent
cases of the State Bank? This state has
at this time a debt on her of more than
two hundred thousand dollars, and princi-
paily this debt was incurred by the policy
and direct influence of the State Bank.
The people ought not to be persuaded to
become more indebted. The more debts
the worse is the condition of the people.
l would again call the attention of the
people to the management of many of the
monied institutions of the state some years
ago. Look at the State Treasury-at
the many detalcations which involved the
state in debt, and fromwhich she cannot be
relieved probably without an onerous tax
upon the people.
Having all these lights of experience be-
tore us, on this subject, can il be possible
that the people will sanction bank?

INDIAN HOSTuLTIES

We have in our possession copy of a letter to the
Governor, from gentleman who recently left Chica-
go, which states that the writer has been inform.
ed that combination of 6 Indian tribes has been
formed, and that they intend commencing hostili-
ties against the whites in the spring. As an evidence
OF their hosties the writer states that Gan old Pot
awatamie, about the last of Dec had stated that in
lO0 days from that time the whites would have to
move across the Wabash, and must not stop there p
further stated in the letter. that party of Otto
was had Kilied hogs near Hickory creek belonging
TO the whites; that the Wnnebagoes had smoked the
pipe of peace with the Potowatames, the last of De-
cember, and promised to return to them again with
the tomahawk and wampum, and, SAYS the writer,
when left there about week go, the return of
the Winnebagoes was expected daily and they sa v,
that two more nations will join them in the lea
being, in the whole, tribes, viz: Chinnewas' Otto
was, Menomonees, Winnebagoes, Sac and Fox, and
Otoes." 1t is further stated, that the Winnebagoes
have endeavored for some time past, to induce the
aeighborng tribes to join them in war against the
whites IN the spring. The above information has
been obtained from the friendly Potawaton,;es, of
whose veracity the public can judge.

the necessary Improvements on this river from Delphi
to its mouth, will be about S65.00Q. $4,000 have
been appropriated by this State, and we inform
ed from authentic that $4,000 also have been
appropriated by Indiana to improve that portion of
the river which she has concurrent jurisdiction
with Illinois. An appropriation of $4,000 by Con-
gress, added to the State appropriations, makes out
the estimated sum, which will probably be amply
sufficient to complete the work. We have some hope
that the requisite appropriation will be made by Con-
gress at its present session. the object is national
one, free, it is presumed from all constitutional OBJ
Jections. We have lately been favored with the pc
rusal of a letter from Gen, Robinson, in which he
says, the subject of the Improvement of the Wabash,

strong hope that the necessary appropriation will
