a RELIGIOUS WAR


MONTREAL, June l5.-Fresh trouble has
arisen between the Okla Indians and the
Church authorities, creating some excite
ment in the city. II appears that the
Seminary Of st, Sulpee demanded the
Protestant Indians to remove fence from
across the road near Okla village. The
Indians refused on the ground that 1t was
closing the pasture and that they had
been allowed TO place 1t there of old. AS
the Seminary could make no agreement,
the clergy laid information before ST..
Schlostique, and warrants being issued,
snch was the feeling evinced among the
Indians that the authorities ofthe district
called upon the Provincial Government
for help. Seven policemen and sergeants
were sent and they arrested five OF the
forty.hve Indians for whom warrants
were issued. The rest fled and remained
concealed in the woods until the police
left the village. The Indians again as
sembled, and the Chief advised them to
resist arreDt, when they armed themsel-
YES with rehes, revolvers and knives.
The armament being completed at noon
yesterday they patrolled the village and
defed the priests and their people. To-
wards night many retired, while few
stood sentry. At four o'clock, the residing
priest at Okla discovered his stable in
flames and about thirty armed Indians
parading around the church. The fire
spread, and in about two hours the church
priests residence, granery containing one
thousand bushels Of grain, stables and
coach house were in ruins, A library OF
one thousand volumes, part in Indian
language, was consumed. The origin Of
the fire is supposed TO have been the work
of an incendiary. A rigid investigation
will be held as to the origin Of the fire.
0KA, VIA HUDSON QUEBEoK, June 49,
The provincial police arrived at noon
and proceeded to the Catholic school
house, where their commander has been
closeted with the priests. The Indians
have fed to the woods.
MONTREAL, June 16.-Not an Indian is
to be seen about Okla. They are said to
be secreted in the village, armed and de-
termined to resist any attempt to arrest
them. Rev. Mr.. Paredt. Protestant mis-
sionary at Okla, is endeavoring TO pacity
the Indians The police have been rein
forced, and an attempt will probably be
made to make more arrests to- day. The
cause of the burning of the church re-
mains a mystery. All sorts OF rumors are
ahoat.

ALL this twaddle about the currency
inflammation uf der currency"-may
be settled by reference to the Constitu-
ton and the principles of justice. That
instrument says, mo State shall emit
bills of credit, or make anything but gold
and silver tender in payment of debts"
Again, Congress shall have power
"To coin money and regulate the value
thereof"
The aim IN the Constitution evidently
was to prevent tinkering with paper
promises to pay, so as to disturb values,
and victimize and rob business and la
bor
The Democratic party has always stood
by strict construction Of the Constitu-
ton, and insisted that the currency Of
the country, whatever it was, should be
good as the best that the people should
not be cursed with an irredeemable and
deprecated currency. No greater curse
can be inflicted upon labor and business.
AS we have often said, in such state of
things all values and labor are as unCer-
tain as gamblers luck. Are we not
nowadays realizing the evil eonsequen.
ces of bad financial managementin in every
respect. A Government policy that in
terferes with values as has been the case
in this country for years past, inevitably
and invariably brings ruinous results.
History is full of examples Of this kind.
The power Of stream to drive ma
chinery depends upon the volume of its
water and its velocity. A small stream
with good fall makes a moving current
capable of useful work, while stagnant
water, however large the volume, cannot
be utilized.
The currency Of country resembles
the stream. If actively employed
quickly passing from hand to hand, it
is power, and drives business. A sound
currency creates confidence, removes un-
certainty and gives security. Democracy
and justice demand one currency for all, and
that currency good as The best

TIE Press Of yesterday alleges that
Judge Black, of this State, encouraged
the rebellion by advising President Bu-
chanan, in 1860, that the Government
had no power to protect itself from dis
solution" Perhaps such grave accusa'
tions gravitate into political organs
from the mere force Of habit that makes
them recklessly utter anything that be-
Titles political opponent; but the re-
sponsible position occupied by Judge
Black in the Buchanan administration
and the peculiarly responsible duties
that administration had to meet In It's clo-
sing months, claim the most dispassloEate
criticism when we are weaving into his
tory the events and actors which are i'm
separately connected with the inaugura..
ton of civil war. 1t will be remembered
that General Cass resigned the State port
folio because he differed from Buchanan
as to the duty of the government to pro-
tect itself, and we have always miscon-
ceived the truth of history ifJudge Black
did not reverse the policy of Buchanan,
and bring it ultimately into the conf
dence of the Republican leaders who
were waiting the advent Of Lincoln. Ger
tainly the administration Of Buchanan
was changed from Buchanan's original
position as TO the duties and powers of
the government in meeting armed rebel
lion, and we have always understood 1t
was Judge Black who brought Stanton
into the Cabinet, asserted the duty of the
government to resist armed treason, and
called Gen. Scott to account for not rein,
forcing and supplying the Charleston
forts. The subsequent controversy be-
tween Scott and Buchanan gave only
superficial view of the operations and
purposes of the administration after re-
bellion assumed the aggressive, and we
submit that the time has now come when
the truth and the whole truth should be
made known, Judge Black is in a posi-
ton to give it to the world, and he owes
it quite as much to the integrity of Lis
tory as to himself to do so.-Phila. Times

IT is quite evident to all unprejudiced
minds, that at our late primary meetings
there was some fraudulent counting, that
counted out at least one man and, Of
course, counted in another. Fraudulent
doings are not Democratic, not fair nor
yet decent. An honest party cannot run
in fraudulent ways.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
a Farmer Kills His WIFE IN a Drunken
Rage and Shoots Himself


OLD Town, MCLEAN Co., ILL.,, June 49,
Fred Hendricks, wealthy farmer of
this vicinity, fifty years old, in. fit Of
drunken rage last night shot his wife, to
whom he has been married twenty-five
years. 1t appears that he had long been
an unfaithful husband, and last night re-
turned home from Bloomington about
dusk, bringing a girl whom he told his
wife was to supplylher place in the house.
To remark which she made he kicked
her, then drew a revolver and commen-
ced shooting at Mrs. Hendricks, who ran
to the gate and there fell weltering in
blood. A hired man named Daley wit
messed the whole affair but was deferred
by the neighbors who began search for
Hendricks, and at Z o'clock thisJmorning
found his dead body lying beside a hay
stack a quarter of mile from town with
a bullet hole In his head, and his hand
grasping the revolver with which he
murdered his wife. ~ tN "a
