INDIAN MEETING.

The Rights Of Lo. the Poor, Discussed
Before a Large Audience Last Even-
ing.
The Delaware Avenue Baptist Church
was crowded last evening on the occa-
sion of an Indian meeting under the aus
pices OF the Women's Indian Association
of this city. The members of the asso-

Rev. j. w. T. Boothe DID, presided. $50
Herbert Welsh Of Philadelphia. secre-
tary of the Indian Rights Association,
was the first speaker. He said that
the cause of so much trouble
with the Indians was the appointments
made in political patronage. No matter
how unfit man may be for the
position, If he has worked for the party
he was appointed From the results the
ill-treatment which the Indians receive.
He hoped the people here would ask
their representatives to vote for the
present Indian commissioners retention
in that position. Although he is Demo
crat he is doing his duty and should be
continued. Mr.. Welsh spoke of the
habits and customs of the Indians and
made an eloquent plea for their rights.
Joshua Given, an educated Apache. was
the next speaker. He talked in an in
teresting and pointed manner of
his education and his work for the en-
Tightening of his brethren. II seemed
strange, he said, that few years ago he
was an Indian brave, taking part in the
fighting against the pale faces, and now
Is among them. That which made him a
man, if applied to others Of his
race, would effect them likewise.
He said that nearly all Of
the men who 90 out among the Indians,

agent in particular was so drunk when
he arrived at a certain reservation that he
could stand up. Mr.. Given thought that

Senator Stewart made very strong
DO mt in favor of the redemption by
the Government Of arid lands, in re-
ply to a question asked him by Sena-
tor STANFORD, rays the San Francisco
The question was in ref
erence 70 the relative cost Of clearing
and irrigating lands, and Senator
Stew said that he was told in Wash
ington Territory that it always cost as
much as 800 an acre to clear timber
land there, wheseas fair estimate of
the cost of reclaiming desert lands
would be from s5 to $40 an acre. In
addition, he said that an acre OF irrl-
gated land is worth double what an
acre is worth that has to depend on
rainfall. Let us take these figures
and see TO what they lead Suppose
there are 20 100000 acres of govern
ment land that could be made valua-
BILE and salable by irrigation. This
would cost s2oo,ooo,ooo, and the first
cost would have to be borne by the
National Government, as no assocla-
ton OF individuals and no State could
dare to undertake it. But when the
work is complete the land which was
worth nothing in Its natural state be
comes worth $40 to 500 per acre
| and is readily marketable, for in yer,

though suffering somewhat from the
effects of recent illness. Mr.. toote
is still quite hopeful of the ultimate
success of the great enterprise with
which he has been SO long connected
and so Intimately identified. For
him, as well as for many others, the
canal is case of ''hope deferred,
but the enterprise is of too much i'm
portance and promise for this section
Of Idaho. and there has been toe
much money, time and engineering
skill expended and bestowed upon II
to permit the thought of its being
oiyen up. Courage, friend Foote
and doubt not that we shall yet see
the full fruit of your many vigllS ah'
labors, and the New York Canal I
complete success.
