Texas is building a magnificent new State "The building," says an Austin correspondent "is located on a commanding elevation near the center of the city, in the square originally se' Iected for the capitol of the of Texas.

Over 'the south entrance is the magnificent triumphal arch, while from the in majestio grandeur, towers great dome to a height. of 350 feet' above the basement floor.

The building is being erected by' a capitol syndicate, headed by Cl B.vFarwell and ColAbner Tay lor, of Chicago. These with others, have undertaken the construction under an agreement with the State to receive as their full compensation therefor 3,050,000 acres of. land in the counties of Deaf, Smith, Parmer, Castro, Lamb, Bailey, Hockley, Dallam, Hartley, Cochran, and Oldham. These unorganized counties lie in the extreme northwestern portion, of the State, the westerly Counties of what is known aa the PanHondle country, lying on the New Mexican boundary. This is the famous grazing ground of Texas, and these syndicate lands are certain to.

prove of great value for ag ricultural purposes not many years The building will cost oyer $5,000,000, and the syndicate will have paid nearly $2 per acre for the lands.

Therefore the man who vent for the welfare of his country has a superior claim to the man who did not get. But it is not tne that they, claim a price for their patriotism.

They only ask the recognition that every man was willing to grant them at the time of their enlistment. It very ill' becomes the who remained 'at home 'in the peace and quiet of his. fireside, or who, being too young to go, who for any other reason did not go, to say that the soldier has no superior claim for official recognition on the country. The soldier has a superior claim, and it should be recog nized bv'a 1 men and.by all parties. Those army associations are not party associations; but if ther were.

The truth the soldiers of the Union have been selx denytDg in their de mand for There has not been an election in the North tioee the war closed at which Federal soldiers have not voted for men who were not in the armv, Ilow times have changed since the close of the war! Mr.

Union soldiers hold their camp fires; have their army, or ganizations and their reunions.

It is tha most natural thing in the world that they should have them. Has the time aire idy come when the Union soldier must apologize for the part he took in the war? Jndiaiinpolis Journal The Xan Who Is Honored, and present Secretary of the Interior of the United Stites, ordered the flag of the Interior Department to be displayed at half mast ana the department and its bureaus. which includes the Bureau ot Pensions, to be closed, because of the death of Jacob Thompson, buce his predecessor in thelsame office. This is the same Jacob Thompson undir whose Secretary of the Interior, several millions of the Indian trust fond bonds were' stolen. This is the sime Jacob Thompson who left his place as Secretary "of the Interior to enter the.

service of the Southern Con federtcy. This is' the same Jacob Thompson who acted si the agent of the rebellious States in trying to organize a force: in Canada to liberate the Confederate prisoners at Johnson's Island. This is the same Jabob Thompson who tried to organize a party of rebels sad assassins in Canada to liberate the prisoners of war at Camp Morton, and then to assassinate" ov Morton and seize upon the United States Armory and supplies in the city of Indianapolis, and bum the city. This is the same Jacob Thompson who was part and parcel of conspiracy to spread smallpox in the cities of the North. This is the same' Jacob Thompson' who was part and parcel of the conspiracy to distribute yellow fever infected rags into' the hospitals and armies of the Union.

And yet within twenty days after a Democratic President enters into the White House, a man of such infamous character honored by having the one department of the Government having in especial charge the care of the Union soldiers disabled by war, and their widows and orphans, closed deference to his memory. If the Confederates can, within twenty days from the inauguration' of their first President after the close of the war, so honor such a man as Jacob Thompson, what may not be done in a few short years their rule?

I Bowen, of Northwest Ter ritory, arrived in Chicago tha other day, and was promptly interviewed. In speak ing of the rebellion in Manitoba, Mr. Bowen said the residents throughout the North west an sctmil? excited, and even at his place which is 300 miles west of the scene of the, present the people are ma King active preparations to resist a general Indian outbreak.

Mr. Bowen, however; is of, the opinion that the rebel ill not go so for west unless Biel and his 'should 1 advance" in that oiwumi: which case the Blackfeet and neighboring Indiana, numbering three thousand fighting men. might join in the rebellion with the hops ox securing planner. ihe Cree. who are located in the extreme northwestern Dart of the terr.tory, and number fully 15,6 0, he believes, sre only waiting for a favorable op portunity to join The latter has at ready sent emissaries among the three tribes, and is using ever argument to in them to join' him.

The Blackfeet and others are poor' for war, but the Crees' have an abundant supply of arms and ammunition, and if they should attach themselves to the rebels the outbreak will become a' very serious matter. Bef erring to the eioses ot the trouble. Mr. Bowen said that for. soma time there had been general dissatisfaction in the territory on account of the British Gov ernment refusing to recognize the land claims of the actual settlers as aeainst the governmental grantees, and heretofore the sympathy had nearly all been with the half, breed settlers.

The recent outbreak, how ever, and the lose of life had reacted aeainst Before that the opinion seemed to be general that the claim of the half breeds was a lust one, and should have been al lowed by the English Government When' asked about the future action of Kiel, Mr. Bowen arid, be believed that "Kiel would eventually desert hi men 'and seek safety for himself in the United States, and that the Government would present the half breeds with a grant of land, and thus pre. vent runner trouble. Character of the Rebels. A reeent dispatch from Canada, says: A gentleman, now living here who was at one time ia the employ of the Hudson Bay Company, tells something of the character of the half breeds who are stimu lating the uprising in the Northwest.

He says that after the Bed River rebellion a large number of these half breed moved. into Montana and located on Milk Eive; In the very nature of things it could hardly be possible for such 'desper adoes to remain quiet, for any length of time, and subsequently they organized bands to plunder stores in the r.cinity. The United States authorities sent Sheriff Healy and his depu ies to arrest them' and continents the plunder. The majesty of the law, however, was not vindintea by tn officers, all three of whom were captured and kept as prisoners lor a full week. By way of breaking the monotony the officers were daily marched to a tree in close prox imity to the' encampment, and the mock ceremony of lynching carried out amid the Jeers of the outlaw.

They were finally res jued bv the United States who re'eaptured the stores and drove moat of the half breeds back to British territory. This was in 1880. Featans to the Bmcm, A recent telegram from New York says': It is said here that 300 Fenians have left York for Northwest Territory to assist Kiel in his contest with the Canadian au thorities, ('apt John McCafferty, who was sur posed to be o. 1, has been in this city consulting with the Irish leaders during the last five days, and he leit I or tne nest to day with an 'Irishman who has "just eqded ten years of service as an officer in the luited Mates army.

Two. of Bcil agents accompa nied them, and one remained behind. W. D. Rohan, a member of'the Fenian Ex ecutive Committee, said to day that the rumors that the Fenians intended to help Biel had good foundation.

He would say no more. The members of the expedition will go to Chicago, thence to St Paul and thence to B.ittleford, Manitoba.
