RIGHTS OF THE INDIANS.
Herbert Welsh's Tie,cs as to the True Policy
Regarding Them.


Herbert Welsh, OF Philadelphia, secre-
tary of the Indian Rights association, lee
tured recently at Newport in the course oil
which he showed the increase OF the In
dams, advancing the theory that their
great needs are law, and education, neither
of which they now possess in any consid-
cradle degree, and claiming the granting oil
these things to be the only solution OF the
Indian question. Mr.. Welsh gave illustra-
tions from his own experience of the faculty
and willingness OF the Indians TO be edu-
Gated, of the injustice OF the agents, OF the
lack OF law in behalf OF the red man, their
stagnant condition and the difficulty OF Sc
curing legislation in their behalf. The work
sof the association in distributing facts al
iectng the question, and bringing them to
bear upon the authorities at Washington,
was explained, with an extended history OF
the order issued by the last administra-
ton, allowing the whites to settle upon the
Sioux lands, and the repeal OF the order by
the new administration. The lecturer
closed with an earnest and eloquent APP
peal for the formation OF n branch OF his
association at Newport, urging the grounds
OF utility, economy, patriotism and rel-
gion.

Decaying branches break OIL sooner OF

of woodland the other day, which, l
am assured, the "pruning-hook" has
never entered, and was impressed by
the fact that it had never apparently

crowded, having been planted Tor
sheltering purposes, but, with the ex-

fall off naturally before they get
strong, and hence leave no mark on
the trunk, because the knots soon heal
over. If this were not the case, such
a thing as clean pine or hr-tree
would never be seen in plantations,
for, as rule, these are subjected to
no other pruning than nature affords,
and which consists in the shedding OF
so many branches annually. Within
the past few years there have been cut
here large tracts of as fine larch, per-
haps, as could be seen, every tree bare
of branches TO near the top, from ma
ture's pruning. There was not an I'M
sound trunk among them from decayed
branches. The same thing happens
with deciduous trees under similar
conditions. If the trees are judiclous-
ly thirned, the lower branches decay
and fall off before they grow large,
and the marks of them disappear III
short time.
