less than nothing. Yet here you come, beloved ones, year after year, just to put up a lightning-rod towards heaven, to avert the righteous vengeance of Almighty God for the wrongs and humiliations and outrages exercised on his children. That is what calls you here.. And the reward comes from Him who saith, "Inasmuch as you do it to these my poor, tawny-faced children, you do it unto me." And so, beloved friends, in God's name I bless you with such benediction as I can give you.

Seventy-eight years ago, in the valley of the Mohawk, my father helped to bear a part in the funerai of Skenandoa, a famous Oneida chief, who was known as the "white man's friend." The boot was on the other leg then. It was the white man that needed the Indian as his friend; and it was old Skenandoa who uttered that exquisite bit of eloquence by the council fire when he said, "I am an aged hemlock. The winds of nearly a hundred winters have whistled through my branches, and I am dead at the top." My native county of Cayuga contains the only monument ever reared on American soil to an Indian.1 In that cemetery of Auburn, a few yards from the grave of William H. Seward, is a tablet on a monument, "Who mourns for Logan?" Not one. My native county has erected a solid obelisk in memory of the man who was also "the white man's friend."

As I look at these blessed white heads and at that grand old Senator to whom the red men of the land would build a monument if they had the opportunity to do it, I say to you, "Come back again, come back again every year, brethren, friends of the Indian and of Jesus Christ." Don't go home, Whittlesey, for I feel about you as old Father Taylor did when he was brought near heaven, and was worrying a little on his dying bed, and some one said to him, "Don't you be worried; you will soon be among the angels." "What do I care for that?" said the old man, "I would a great deal rather be here among folks." And so, good friends, let us not be in a hurry to go there. It is good to stay down here among folks, such folks as our beloved brother Smiley welcomes with his great heart to his hospitable hearthstone year after year. So let our hearts throb together as we say good night. Miss Foote's resolution was then unanimously passed.

Mr. A. K. SMILEY. I thank you most cordially for your kind words, but especially do I thank you for coming here. I hope that you may come year after year until this whole Indian question is settled, until all the Indians have their full rights, as we have. I propose to keep up these conferences so long as I live, and, if I am taken away, they will be continued after me until the Indians are put on a firm, solid basis. Sometimes I take command of this house, and I propose to do it now. I think that the gentleman who has so successfully presided over you is entitled to our warmest thanks, and also that business committee who have kept at work so many hours to make this conference a success is also entitled to thanks, to our gratitude. I would move, therefore, that the thanks of the conference be given to the president, to the business committee, and to the secretaries.

The motion was put by the Rev. Dr. McArthur and was unanimously carried.

The president acknowledged the courtesy in a few words, and the evening's exercises were closed by the recitation by Miss Edna Dean Proctor of a poem called The Captive's Hymn, written by herself upon an incident that occurred at the close of the French war, about 1764.

The conference adjourned sine die, after the singing of "God be with us till we meet again," and the benediction.

With reference to monuments to Indians the editor has collected the following facts:

On the council-house grounds at Glen Iris there is a monument to Mary Jemison, a white woman, who was captured by the Indians when she was a little girl, and adopted by them. She was twice married, each time to an Indian chief. Her home was on the Gardeau Reservation, a tract of 17,927 aores, which was deeded to her by the Indians in 1797.

There is a monument to Logan (Tah-goh-jute) in the cemetery at Auburn, Cayuga County, N. Y., a plain, pyramidal shaft of rough stone.

In 1891 a monument was erected to Red Jacket (So-go-ya-wat-ha) at Canoga, Seneca County, N. Y., which is claimad to be his birthplace. A monument was also recently erected to Red Jacket in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Buffalo, about which lie his remains and those of five other Indian chiefs.
