Plea for the Indians.

Sr. PAUL, July 19-By invitation Bishop
Whipple this morning addressed the St. Paul
Chamber of Commerce on behalf OF the In
dians at Leech Lake and Winnebagosist,
Northern Minnesota. In 1880, it was
thought necessary to build reservoirs at
the head waters OF the Mississippi and al
ter Congress had passed the law the Attor-
ney Generals opinion was solicited and in
the opinion he declared the Government
had no authority to overflow the lands be.
longing to the Indians or to take material
from them. Notwithstanding this opin-
ion dams have been erected. The annuities
OF Indians haveexpired. Theircrops OF wild
rice and sugar and their supply OF fish,
have been completely destroyed and they
have no means OF subsistence left. The
Indians are in want now, and are growing
desperate. Through the efforts OF their
friends they have been, SO far, peaceable,
but during the winter no one need be sur
prised if the Governments works are
ruined by men made desperate by hunger
and want. The Biskop, in visiting the
country, met party OF Leech Lake Indi-
ans starting fresh fires between Cass Lake
and Red Lake. He inquired OF the In
dians what it was for, and was told it was
retaliation doing to the white people what
the white people had done to them, de-
stroying their property. The Chamber
voted to use it's epdeavors toward in
fuencing the Government to right the
wrong done these Indians.

The Italian was put under arrest and taken to the precinct. At the precinct was taken from the Italian jack knife witt a blade somewhat crooked at the end.

The Italian WAS locked up and Daley was taken to his home in carriage and Dr. O'Connor called. The wound was on the right side about three inches from the loin and near the stomach, being about three inches deep.

 The audience at Carlls Opera House last evening on the occasion of the Good Samari- tans' meeting was an intelligent and ap- precative one, and they had the satisfaction of listening to a very able address by Rev.

After singing another hymn President Ludington in few complimentary words introduced Rev. Dr. Samson who, after an appropriate introduction, proceeded to a discussion of the effects of alcohol upon the human sys- tenn.

During the early part of Friday evening he appeared to be failing and it was felt certain that he could not live through the night.

The effect was for the worse, however, for he at once relapsed into comatose condition, his pulse becoming very feeble. During the succeed ing three hours he failed gradually, his res. piration growing notieeably weaker until the end eame The cause of Judge Davis death was Bright's disease of the kidneys, aggra- vated by weakened condition of the sys- tenn, dating from the time when he became afflicted with the carbuncle.

LIBERTY AND SOCIETY.
Professor Johnson IT. Platt Defines Liberty And Its Relation To Socie- ty-The Last Lecture In The Labor IVceum Course.

Professor Johnson IT. Platt Defines Liberty And Its Relation To Socie- ty-The Last Lecture Nm The Labor Lyceum Course.
 Professor Johnson T. Platt spoke on "Lib- erty and Society" at the Labor Lyceum's
 meeting held in Loomis' Temple of Music yesterday afternoon. The lecture was the last in the course this season under the aus
 pices of the Labor Lyceum.
 Professor Platt was introduced to the au- dience, which was fair sized one, by Hora- tio H. Lane. During the course of Professor Platt's lecture he said:
 The man of science uses many terms which to the uneducated seem barbarous and unnatural. But the man who uses such words or terms thoroughly understands them. But in political terms it is simple words that are used. No word is more sim pie, more dear to the heart and more abused than the simple word 'liberty." There are three kinds of liberty; political, natural and civil What does the word liberty mean, if it means anything at all, but the right to do what one pleases without regard to anyone else?
 Each man must respect the rights of oth- CTS. The restraint which man must put up- on himself, or which society as it now is will put upon him if he does not do so himself, is to do only what is fair and just toward his fellow men and not to commit crime by let ting his passions get the better of him. So- ciety punishes crime. Every person is al lowed freedom of thought, but if he carries that freedom to such an extent that he incites rebellion it is a crime and is punishable by law or society. In the great Russian empire the poor, suffering and exiled Nihilist dies because he expresses his thoughts. We can not h0ln but admire the NihiIiSt he ia a martyr to liberty in every sense of the word.
 The masses must be awakened to a new life by appealing to their imaginations. We are different in America from the Russians as regards liberty. Liberty has been handed down to us from generation to generation. It has been given to us by the first Anglo Saxons. To-day MT. Gladstone, England's great premier, is doing all that lies in his power to obtain the sacred word of liberty for old Ireland. It IS no light thing to wrench the power from the rich and mighty and give the power to the people.
