Mexico.

We have but little news from Mexico,
and that ct an unimportant character. The
general opinion. seems to be, that there
will be no war. Indeed, it is thought BY
some, that she will not even attempt to re-
conquer Texas. The re-conquest Of Tex
as, has seemed to be a favorite mode 81
commencing with the Mexican statesmen,
ani if they should not attempt that, they
are most likely, inclined for fear.

who was caught on solitary spot on lbe
banks Of the Red river. He lived N II.
hollow of tree, and is supposed to h,,.
resided there from his youth, as two hi.

and mother, were also found there In
the description given Of him, il i, said ,,Ls
j. fifty years old, weighs one hundred and
thirty pounds, and viii eat nothing but raw
meat, and that which Is tainted he like,
best. His body is well sheltered from d.
cold and rain by the long hair that covers
it. The creature has tail three inches

we take the following from q late Chic
ago Democrat, showing 10 some extent, the
condition of the State Bank of indiana
How far that constitution may be in dan
ger we are not prepared to say, or even
express an opinion. The subject howev-
er, is one, in which the people Of this Ter
ritory are deeply Interested:
State Rank Of Indiana.
The State Bank Of Indiana has been and
will yet be the source of greet evil to the
people Of the State. II is owned by about
six hundred stockholders, who contract i,
and borrow from it about four times The
amount Of stuck they hold. In fact very
little Of the private stock was ever paid
for, except by its own discounts. The
great mass Of its loans are Of old accom-
mediation papers of years standing.-Ind :
ana STATE Sentinel.
Some months since we stated that the
circulation this Bank was too large, and
safety required contraction. The borrow
ers Of the Bank, instead of paving UP a
portion Of their disc UNITS and putting The
Bank in safe condition, began war on us
for poking our long finger into their dis
count mill. This we cared nothing about,
any farther than their extreme sensitive.
ness SHOWED tn t our remarks was bat too
true. The estate Sentinel' has furnished
US with some items in relation to this Bank,
which we abridge for the benefit Of those
concerned:
Circulation in October, 1912, 81, 49,, 5la
Circulation in October, 1913, 2,54l liz
Circulation in October, 1914, 2,lOl COO
We have no doubt that its circulation il
June. when we. first spoke Of lis expanded
condition, was $3,5O0,OOo. The westerr
papers have generally spoken Of the Bank
in manner which must check this rapid
expansions; and we believe that by Octo-
Der next the circulation will fall back to
about 100000.
The capital is $2,lO0,0Oo. One half is
owned by the State, and was made up d
Indiana State stock; the other half is own
ed by four hundred stockholders. The
borrowers Of the Bank in 1910 figured a:

timely caution will, in all probability, save
it from failing-Thompson' Bank Note

where he had been accustomed TO rule BY

Gallatin's mistake was nearly that Of the
whole community. The merchants, almost

vading the seaports and most Of the At
lantic States, that it was not only in the
greater number of ships and sealncn the
English excelled the Americans, but that
British seamen were superior beings, tran
cending all others, with whom Americans,
man to man, and ship to ship, still less in
squadrons or fleets, would have less chance
than the Dutch, Venetians, Spanish, or
French. In the most popular national
song ofthat day, which was always sung
in full chorus at the repeated celebrations
Of our naval victories, not only the pre-
posterous language, but the deep-reoted
sentiment Of the inhabitants or our sea
board was, that although the 'ssons Of CO.
luinbia would never be slaves, while tie
earth bears plant or the sea rolls its

never be hurled to incence the Legitimate
