All of our vast preparations for striking
a decisive blow at the Sioux savages are
rendered next to worthless by the break
ing up Of the redskin army into two
divisions, one going to Canada and the
other moving south among the Businesses
of Wyoming. Indeed, it may be said that
the campaign is ended, and in few weeks
our troops will all be in winter quarters on
the Yellowstone river 1t remains for us
to see how many Indians engaged in the
recent massacre can be captured at aud
about the agencies, while our soldiers
make incursions into the Indian country
to destroy marauding bands Meantime
the new Peace Commission NAV succeed
in bringing the leaders of the Sioux to
terms, and peace will be restored until
next summer The cost of all this is heavy :;
but if bloodshed can be saved by it there
will be no complaint, especially as it is held
by many that the Indians have not been
fairly dealt with under existing treaties
