The Cheyenne Daily Leader

Gen. Crook's Success.

The following remarks from the Omaha Republican meet with the hearty endorsement of THE LEADER: "Few officers in this country, or indeed in any other, have had the experience or been as successful in either fighting or managing Indians as General Crook. Uniting with rare judgment of the Indian character, and a keen insight into the actual condition of their affairs, a dogged, stubborn pertinacity, when he once takes hold he never 'lets go.' He has for one whole year worked steadily, faithfully and untiringly for the settlement of this vexatious Indian problem. That he will settle it the people of this state and whole frontier have had and still hold an abiding faith. They know him too well to believe that he will make peace a moment too soon; and they are assured that when he does make peace, it will be permanent. All hail the day! Peace with the Sioux Indians means safety and prosperity to the people along the entire line of the Pacific railroad, such as they have never before enjoyed.

Peace means an undisturbed development of the mines in the Black Hills and Big Horn countries. It means the formation of two more territories, in the undeveloped country northwest of us. It means to all the adjacent states and territories an unrestrained prosperity hitherto unheard of. It means, too, that General Crook will then return to his headquarters in this city, where he will be thrice welcome: for when he does come we shall know that peace along the border is assured."
