THE NEGRO AND THE INDIAN
4 CENTURY OF DISH0NOR IN OUH
 TREATMENT OF THESE WARDS.

 Serious Words of Hon. Samuel B. Capen
 in the "Cradlo of American Liberty''--
 The Dastardly Compromise of Twenty
 Years Ago-Meeting Under the Auspices
 of American Missionary Workers.
 Boston, Oct. 21.-The noon day rally of the American Missionary associa. tion, held in Faneuil hall, was attended by an audience that filled the floor and gallery. Hon. Samuel B. Capen presfd- ed and in an earnest address told what the association had accomplished in the education of the negro and the Indian at the schools which have been estab- lished in the south and west The cen- tury of this nations life, he said, has been century of dishonor in it's treat nient of these wards which it is it's duty to protect and care for. While slavery is legally dead, the negro is still little better off than he was before the war that set him free.
 He introduced as the first speaker R. R. Meredith, D. D., of Brooklyn, who told Of the dire results coming from the compromise with slavery ending in the war. When the American Mission ary association was organized in 1S46, he said, it was done with a determina- tion not to compromise with evil, and it would not accept, as other mission ary societies were doing, funds coming from slavery labor. "But I don't have to go back so far to show how dastard- ly it is to compromise" he said 1T need only to go back twenty years, when our statesmen in both parties were compromising with evil, and they have got us into the predicament we are in to-day"
 Rev Alexander Mckenzie, D. D., of Cambridge, followed He said the country was performing work with out precedent, and everybody has been invited to participate in the benefits to come from it. The problem is to make the forty different nationalities that have accepted of this invitation into Americans. He spoke of the great mis- sion this association has to play in working out this problem. It is found- ed on sentiment, and it is this senti- ment which will win the day, and 1t will advance till it's efforts are nobly crowned
