“Lo! the Poor Indian.”

By Editor

This well-worn expression has acquired a new significance of late. If some one would take the trouble to accurately write a history of the late destruction of the Cheyenne prisoners at and near Fort Robinson, only reversing the actors, putting white prisoners in the place of the Indians, and giving the Indians the part acted by the soldiers of the United States, we venture the assertion, with much confidence, that many tender hearts would shudder at the story of savage barbarities. It is painful to feel that this is only the truth.
