Meeting of syInpatlixe=s with the In
dians.
Nav York, July 24th.-An important
meeting of friends of the Indians was held
under the auspices of the Indian Rights
Association at Newport yesterday. Bishop
Potter. of New York, presided. The au-
dience included a number OF cottagers and
weather society people. Governor Arm
strong, founder Of the Hampton iVa.l In
dian School, probably the best-inforned
military officer in the United States on the
character and capacity OF Indians, deliv-
cred the principal address, in which he
said that if things go on as they are, there
is no hope for them. Their future lies in
civilized life. For this they are physically
weak. Mentally, they are capable of learn
ing They have the basis Of honor IN
them. They can learn our language and
pursue any branch of study. They are re-
sentful, but never revengeful. They are a
religious people-more so than We. Their
greatest enemy is liquor. They learn TO
work easily. They are taught family Afe
and this is one of the most hopeful signs.
TWo-thirds of those who have gone back
to their homes from Hampton, after receiv-
ing an education, have not been a disap-
pointment; have not resumed Indian
habits, and no educated Indian has ever
become q renegade. He condemned the
so-calle3 civilization and schools Of In
dian Territory. What they need IS
to get rid Of their old relations and
let ca h one stand for himself. They have
thousands of churches but their life is arti-
fetal, not practicable The Apaches of
Arizona are crafty murderers. Once de
feated, these people could be kept in sub
lection. The army can do this II the work
were given them to do. The Nav2joes have
increased from 10000 to 1909 within a few
years This does not look like dying out.
They are the Jews of the Indian race-the
most enterprising of them all, and they
make splendid cavalry. Indian agents will
never be satisfactory until their salaries are
increased so as 10 remove the temptation Of
oppression and fraud. The trouble is with
the Government, and IN the House Of Rep
resentatives a little work can secure the
passage Of existing bills and thus help the
cause materially.
Senator Dawes, who has made himself
conspicuous in Congress on Indian affairs,
addressed letter 10 the meeting, in which
he said his recent visit of several weeks in
Indian Territory had convinced him that
there never was such pressing need for
labor of the friends of Indians as now.
Hunger for his lands was never SO great,
determination to appropriate them never so
strong. Capital and cattlemen are reaping
immense profits from the ranches they
have been permitted, under the form of
liens, to appropriate 10 their own use with
out the Interference of the law or its Off
GERS which rental h been wasted in per
capita distributions. There is nothing left
TO the Indian but his title The odds
against him were never so great as now.
