Savage Renevolenca.

The appeal of the Omaha Indians 10
favor of their kindred, the Poncas, is one
OF the most extraordinary statements ever
published in America. Whether some
portion of it may not be the work of a
white man we are not prepared to deny;
but the facts are of more consequence than
the rhetoric, and these are simply that a
tribe oil Indians, nominally civilized but
still savsRes in the estimation of many
whites. are willing and anxious to receive
the Poucas on their reservation, allot lands
TO them and assist them until they can
make crops and support themselves.
Many white men 10 Nebraska might have
made the same offer without hurting
themselves, and the news OF such a deed
would have gone through the entire Indian
country with benefit to the dominant race.
But white men did not do it. Church
members talked and petitioned, but not
al acre OF land did they offer. Il was re-
served Tor band of heather redskins, who
nave hardly yet forgotten the warhoop, to
emphasize that sympathy which civiliza-

we have the 'cireulatory system" of oul
