The Regular meeting of the Albany
Blue Ribbon Club was held In Y. P. C. A.
hall. Saturday evening. June 9th, 1880.
Notwithstanding the excitement regarding
political matters, there were found suffi.
cient number of persons interested IN the
temperance cause to fill to its fullest capac-
ity the commodious hall OF the Christian
Association. In the absence OF the Pres
itient. the meeting was called to order by
Mfr. John Conner. Vice President. After
prayer, by DIR G. w. Gray, the minutes
of previous meeting were read and ap-
proved. after which the Club was addressed
by Hon. j. C. Powell. Music followed,
consisting of flute solo by G. Willis
Price. Miss Kate Conner presiding at the
organ. Mrs. D. F. Smith then favored
the Club with one of her fine recitations,
which was received with such applause
that she kindly responded with short
but fine humorous selection. The efrcula-
tion OF the pledge resulted in the addition
OF twenty-four names to the already
lengthy list of signe-s to tile Blue Ribbon
Club pledge. A collection was then taken
up, and after another flute solo by DR..
Price, the meeting adjourned to meet June

The New Ute war.

We do not see how II Is possible to ex-
onerate Congress from the responsibility
for the recen: murtlerstls outbreak OF the
Ute Indians. The Indian Department had
succeeded in negotiating a treaty which
seemed to be satisfactory 70 the Ctes but
the terms of that treaty could not be car
ried out without the action of Congress.
But the national legislature was too much
absorbed in politics aud in maneuvcring
with reference to the Presidential election
to give anv attention to matter of so small
moment from party standpoint as carry
savages-who have no votes. The Utes,
naturally suspicious of the white man, and
taught by experience to distrust the good
faith of the Government, grew impatient
and alarmed. They knew that their res
ervation was coveted by their civilized
neighbors, and when it was invaded by
parties of prospectors, and the fuitiIimeut
Of the terms of the agreement made with
them was DELAYED they suspected treacilery
and their young mer went Oh the warpaih.
In the shape which matters have HOW taken
we see no prospect of avoiding another
Indian war. And though the final result
is not difficult to predict, the expense. to
say nothing of the loss OF life involved, will
be tenfOld what it would have cost to act
ih strIck and prompt conformity with the
terms agreed upon between the Depart
Inent and the Indians.
