The story from Yankton that the Drift
ing Goose band Of Yanktonais Indians
have been guilty of savage depredations
upon the white settlers needs to be receiy.
ed with large grain Of allowance. These
Indians obtained tine tardy justice of q
grant Of land from the secretary of the in
terror only g. few months ago; mainly
through the efforts of Bishop Whipple.
Their location upon the Missouri, north of
Ysnkton, was regarded with great jealousy
by the whites who wanted to squat upon
the land, and it is natural to suppose that
every possible and impossible pretext would
be sought to dispossess them. All the an
tecedena of this band Of Indians are op-
posed to the theory of their committing
Rratuitous depredatione.
When . great newspaper like the Pion.

afresh on the basis of truth. There is no

The subject of Catholic influence, es-
pecially on the school question has in the
last week or two attracted very considerable
attention in both the secular and religious
press. 1t grew out of an order from a
priest in Massachusetts, forbidding parents
to send their children to the public school,
but requiring them to be sent to the paro-
chial or church school. Coupled with this
is the case where a mans business was
nearly ruined by the priest forbidding his
pensioners to patronize him because he
went to hear a protestant preach. In this
case the injured man brought suit in the
courts and obtained between $1,000 and
$4,000 damages from the priest for interior.

rian, predicts they will in time control the

indicate an exceedingly inhammabls con,
dition of society. Ireland seems aim ost
upon the threshold of another insurrec-
tion, the result of which, like the issue of
her previous efforts at resistance to the
colossal power of the British Empire, can
only be disastrous to that unfortunate
people. There is a ray of hope, however,
in the seeming inclination of England not
to push matters to extremes.
If Ireland would throw off its shacksls
