Free Banks.

Tho Indiana Sentinel says; We
learn from the Auditor of State that
such Is the condition Of those Of the
suspended free banks whose securities
are other than Indiana stocks. that
after the first Of July, or in about
sixty days. in is very probable that he
will be enabled to redeem the outstan-
ding circulation Of such banks at par,
and that:many Of the banks having In
diana stocks as securities. will be en- i.
abled to pay at least the full amount.
of the value of the bonds. This be-
ing the state Of affairs. is 1t not advisa-
bic for bill.holders to hold on to their
notes. rather than dispose Of them to
brokers at ten or fifteen per cent. less
than they may realize in so short a
time.

What does Il mean,

We have not seen an old line paper
that condemns. in the least degree, the
foreign portion of the rioters in Gin
cinnati. though it is undeniable that
their course at the polls was the cause
of the riot. We know, and have new
er said otherwise, that Americans
struck the first blow, and they also
broke the ballot boxes. We know loo.
that both in law and morals, they were
not justifable. No words or threats
can justify blows. We do, not justify
them. They should have patiently
borne every insult, and redressed their
wrongs by law. But il is not often
that men. even when less provoked
and when acting singly. will endure
such insults without resenting them.
Yet every old line paper. in speaking
Of the riot. speaks Of the Americans as
"rowdies. gamblers and scoundrels,
nor do they exculpate any. Every
American who did not vote the Sag.
Nicht ticket, is included in these de-
nunciations. On the other hand,
there is not word of disappro-
baton Of the foreigners-not even so
much as to say, that few. a very fs,o.
did in the midst ofthe excitement. and
when greatly provoked by the Amer
can "bullies, rowdies. gamblers and
scoundrels," commit unjus;i6able acts
Of violence. Not word Of this. The
drunken liquor sellers, and their
drunken rabble, are uniformly spoken

ers. when 1t appeared in the testimo.
ny before the inquest, that quiet and
unoilending citizens were really as.
saulted and badly wounded Ivy these
model citizens.
Again. in Chicago. few weeks
since. the foreign liquor sellers arose
en- mdsse, t0over.awe the Judiciary,
and toprevent the execution OF the
laws. In their riotous proceedings.
American officers. in the defense and
execution Of American laws, were
rudely shot down. Yet. there 10 not
asinglc allusion..to all this In q single
old line paper. that we have seen. =
The fact Of riot is barely mentioned
in some ofthem, and where any CON-
ment Is made at all. IL savors more oil

We ask. what does this mean? Is
there a strong party among US. who
intend to shield foreigners from all

~ Greedy says that he would as
soon think Of trying to revive the old
Federal party of 1919 as to revive the
late Wing party. Greedy is a sensible
man. but we opire that whenever the

CRoPs IN THE NoRTn.-The South

prospect for Wheat. Fruit, and the
Spring Crops was never better. The
Wheat fields with scarcely an excep-

are thick with blossoms, md the air
heavy with their perfume; while the
genial spring rains hasten the advance
OF vegetation generally.

teach her tender aedglings to stretch their tiny
duttering wings, and soar away into the bright

RED JACKET.

Red jacket, or a-goy-e-wa- tina, as is his In
dian name, chief of the Senecas, was unques-
tionably, the most remarkable orator, excepting
"the good Logan, the white mans friend" that
ever came Of Indian stock. He was born about
the middle of the last century, near where the
city of Buffalo now stands, and which was the
residence of the Senecas. He was of brave
but generous nature, and had small delight in
the ferocities of Indian warfare. He was saga
cious and prudent, very thoughtful, and possess
ed, withal, of most determined spirit.
He could neither be terrified nor cajoled int
any measure. He preserved the utmost deco
rum and dignity of manner at all times, unit
in the latter part Of his life, when he fell
victim to the accursed sire WATER" which hai
destroyed so many of his race. His hnt was
for years, the resort Of the learned and the curl
Gus, who went thither to hear "the old man ell
oouent" discourse on the traditions Of his race
or on the abstruse science of philosophy or the
ology His dwelling stood on spot which wa
secured to the Seneca tribe, and called the Res
eruat,on. Here he dwelt, like shorn King, re
ceiving the homage Of bis fallen people--thos
degraden braves of degraded chief-thus al
fording another proof that civilization destroys
instead of elevating, the savage.

VOLUME XII. NO. II.

In North Brabant the food is not so general,
but it has broken down the dykes, SO that the
Damage caused will prove of fearful character.
Several bridges have been carried aw ay, and the
town OF Bois-le-duc, is diminutiye island,
amidst waste of water and ice The surround
ing villages are deserted, but when the dykes are
repaired they will again, for the most part, be
habitable. In one village, however, twenty houses
were at once swept away by the food, and sew
en- of their occupants wero drowned, 1t is IA
years ago since Holland was bofore visited with
similar destructive food. The ice, however, is
now breaking up very generally, SO that no fur
ther stopages are likely to occur in the channels;
thus we may hop, that we have now seen the
worst of this inundation. The Maese before
Rotterdam has broken up, though not until q
steamer of great power had first forced passage
through he ice. The fact was immediately tel
egraphed to the principal foreign ports, so that
next week We may expect to see the usual aetiy-
| ity resumed.

DREADFUL INUNDATIONs IN HOLLANi

DREADFUL INUNDATIONs IN HOLLAND.
Accounts from the provinces of Guelderland
and North BrabaDt state that in consequence of
the driving ice of the rivers having fixed itself
in various points in barricades, vast quantity
of territory lies now entirely under water. As
many as seventy villages are submerged. Since
1920 such inundatons have not been known in
Holland. At Arnheim, enormous dams have
been constructed in all haste, to prevent the en-
tire town being submerged. The Rhenish rail-
way WILL it is apprehended, become impossible.
In the village of Veennendaal the water covers
the tops of the houses, most of which will be
left undermined and in ruins. In most places
the water his simply overAowed the dams, which
have hitherto resisted the pressure of the accu-
: mulated waters
Many cattle have been drowned, but in conse
quence of the excellent precautions used in sig
nalising to the people the moment of positiv
danger comparatively few of our follow crea
lures have lost their lives by these lamentabl
causalities. A telegraphic message has just ar
: rived from Bois-le-Duc, to the effect that one
the dams in the neighborhood has given way
and that others are expected to give way, ant
that great part of the city is entirely unde
water.
Accounts from the Lower and Upper Rhine
+ and from the province of North Brabant continu

though not SO many, happily, as under the Gil

f. the water may have returned to its channel,
IS, fearful scene of devastation will await the retur
of the inhabitants. The village must in mai
ut ner be rebuilt, reprovisioned, and refurnishe,
a. before it's inhabitants can occupy it again.
