The Indian Question.

A lecture was delivered last evening in Sanders Theatre by Mr. Herbert Welsh, of Philadelphia, on "The Present Aspects of the Indian Question." The speaker was introduced by Mr. Samuel Longfellow, the President of the Cambridge Branch of the Indian Rights Association.

Mr. Welsh spoke earnestly of the great need of the Indians for education; for clear titles to land and the privileges of holding land in severalty; above all, for law. The civil service rules should be applied to the choice of land agents and of all Indian officials. The spoils system is the cause of much of the present distress among the Indians, and should be abolished. The speaker closed with an earnest appeal to his hearers to give their personal attention and aid to these oppressed peoples.

Professor Painter, the Washington Agent of the Indian Rights Association was introduced by the chairman, and spoke in a very interesting and instructive manner on the injustice done by the Government to the Indians.
