"a near personal and political friend
of ex- President Grant, who don bless
knows whereof he speaks, authorizes
the following as a correct statement of
the Generals position with reference
to the Presidency. He says: General
Grant is not now, nor has he ever

him in the same manner as any other
candidate would be nominated, he
would deem IT his duty to the country

Build Not zoo Hastily


We are pleased to note that the superyis.
ing architect Of the capital impr yements
contemplated At Austin has extended the
time from January Oh until February lst.
pro7imo, for receiving plans and specifca.
tons for the new capitol building. The time
allowed, considering the cost and importance
OF the work, was altogether inadequate, and
we doubt If the extension, IS shove stated,
viii enable architects 10 prepare aud submit
such plans rs ought 10 De submitted, or the
building board 70 consider id plans IS care.
fully as they ought to bs considered AsaPpro,
pos ~ this subject, we ARE impressed whit the
reasoning OF n gentleman Of San Antonio, rs
gwen in the Express Of las. Friday. He
deprechtes the ru!el adopted by the state for
thN erection Of tho now building, claiming
that sufficient time has not been allowed,
nor proper Inducements offered to the srchi-
tsets OF the country 10 compete for the plans.
In the case of the Texas capital, sup rvis-
Ing architect hss been elected, aud no pro.
poses to allow but about elk weeks tina for
architects to prepare their pans. Again,
but $l,700 is promised the success
full architect and this At u risk,
for the right is reserved to 70
jact any or all bids. This, the gentleman
says, shuts out all competition from outside
architects, whom the building TO oe erected
viii stand probably for centuries, and should
DO constructed according to the most ad-
vhnced style Of modern architecture. He
thinks future generations will mourn the
shorts ghtedness of those of o-dsy, who
wsro so disposed to please themselves first,
and tesm TO be either too stupid or ladider.
ent or selfish TO appreciate superior skill and
art and talent. In plain words, he think, the
new Texas capitol buildings will not bs built
as they should aud might be. Tho
Telephone regards this as sound reasoning,
tho force Of which is not at all
impaired by the fact that the time
has been extended by an additional four
weeks making an extreme limit of eight
weeks and five days from tho present writ
ing. We regard this limit as still to cir
cumscrlbed, aud trust lis provisions will not
be enforced. If the supervising architect is
without option and acting under regulations
beyond his control, the legislature should
como TO his relief, and to the rehef of the
state as wsll, ami prevent undue haste in
this matter. II will mset early in January,
and thetwo houses can very easily pass joint
resolution ves,iDg adequate discretion in the
supervising ar Infect and building board. a
million and halt of dullas is too muck
money to bo laid out recklessly or buuglipg
", and the building on which it i, spen
should be ons that will stand the test of crit
icism and time. The state can afford TO nc
deliberately in this matter.
