States. In the meantime, changed condi-
tons have left the old half breed leader

States. In the meantime, changed condi-
tons have left the old shalf breed leader
wholly without influence in Manitoba. What
ever grievances the half-breeds had in that
province have long since been redressed, and the
leader of the Manitoba government, Mr.. Nor
quay, is half breed.
But at Prince Albert, where the population is
still sparse the condition of things is different.
There are some eight or nine hundred French
hs!f-breeas, anu probably five hundred Scotch
half breeds, who, added to the Indian population
quite outnumber the four or five hundred rn+-
..~ss from the vun-r pots of Canada, residing
in that vicinity. The half breed grievance at
Prince Albert is simply demand for more land.
When the territory became part of Canada they
received grants on a pretty liberal scale, but
now they want more in proportion to the num-
Der of their families. AS there is plenty of land
and to spare in the Canadian northwest, there
should have been no difficulty in granting any
reasonable demand for it that the halt breeds
might make, but red tape seems to have delayed
the redress of grievances, and the half breeds,
tired of waiting, have taken the law into their
own hands

The Scoundrel, Jake Thompson.


He was Secretary of the Interior at the time
the war broke out, and abandoned that depart
ment to engage in the rebellion, in addition to
which he left behind him the record of dishon-
est administration there; gigantic fraunds were
perpetrated, the affairs of the department tan.
gled to the utmost. Besides this, Thompson was
n peculiar scoundrel. He attempted the organiza-
ton of northern copperheads for the purpose of
the liberation Of rebel prisoners and murder,
and he was urgent for the UNANIMOUSLY inhuman
scheme to spread the plague of yellow fever
through Northern cities by sending hither in
fected clothing. The memory of a man capable
of concocting such thing let alone urging it
for action, should be gibbeted upon the scaffold
of eternal shame, while his body should go down.
ITO the vile dust from whence it sprung
Unwept, unhonored and unsung."
Yet this man is selected for the official hon
ors of this governments It is an outrage in all
the length and depth and thickness of its sig
nifcance, and if Secretary Lamar perpetrates
the like again. he should, as he will, feel the
whitening rebuke of every Union soldier, and
every man, woman and child who was loyal to
the cause for which those soldiers fought.

Ayes, sir.
Grant Corroborated by Wards Letters.


NEW YORK, March 27.--In court, to-day, ex-
president Fish testified in his own behalf He
said: "Mr. Greene who was vice-presdent of
the Marine Bank, introduced Mr.. Ward to me
in 1876. Ward had married a daughter of
Greene. Mr.. Ward said to me that he was a
young man with limited acquaintance in New
York, and with limited capital. AS friend of
Greene and his family, Ward asked me
to be friendly to him. He would, Of course, sat.
isfy me of the fact that he was worthy Of conf
dence and he asked me to give him advice on
business matters. He said he knew David
Bows, Superintendent Grant, of the Produce
Exchange. and ex- Mayor Edison"
Ward told the witness he had opportunities
to make money by buying certificates of meru-
bership in the Produce Exchange and selling
them afterwards to prospective members.
He would buy certificates for 5000 or
more, and sell them at an advance
of 800 $40 or $50. The witness lent Ward
money from time 20 time to buy certificates, and
at very short intervals he would make an ac-
counting of profits. Fish submitted letters from
Ward urging that speculation in certificates and
-four was better than in stocks. In one of these
Ward writes: II should like, in connection
with Grant and my brother as well as
Grants father, to take advantage of some mining
points they occasionally give me. Grant did so
well in Chrysolite, Little Pittsburg, Mountain
King etc, that /, too, want to join him in some
of these enterprises They take a good deal of
money. Still, i am always willing to put in
what / can, if you can help tho rest. I also
think if l could, and we were to put up say
500 900 each as margin on stocks, we should
make good profit on the investment. l make
these suggestions not only from a selfish point
of view but also because enjoy making money
for you as we'll as do for myself"
In letter dated March g. 1882, Ward wrote
Fish: ''rhe general contract business progresses
WE'LL but we must keep it mum or the papers
will give US fits"
Again: $50 it while you can. and have a good
time and 1--WE may not be in favor long, as
take these orders (government) when can get
them. AS long as keep quiet and do this bust
ness in outside names, the General will stick by
us. If, some day, We could get some of these In
dian contracts, we would be happy, for the profit
on one is enough to set us all up"
In another letter Ward said he did not want all
the contracts, but he thought when 1--WE get out
of one we might try for another AS / am man
aging these orders, / feel that the responsibility
rests on me- Ward wrote the witness another
time: Nov, Mr. Fish, you know
appreciate too deeply your kindness
to take advantage of YOU / have always looked
upon you as second father"
Fish continued his testimony regarding the
progress of the firm of Grant g. Ward
Ward reported that business was good, and
submitted statements monthly, showing profits,
and in every case checks accompanied the state
ments. Fish admitted that on July /, 1883, his
own notes, aggregating $500, 900, were discounted
by the Marine Bank.

Jacob Thompson's Wealth.

National Republican.
"Did you ever hear asked a Tennesseean
yesterday. show Jacob Thompson got his
wealth. You know Thompson died yesterday,
and the story won't do any harm now. Thomp-
son was chiefly known to the country as Blu
chanan's Secretary of the Interior. During the
war he was agent of the Confederate States in
Canada. But just before the war ended he was
sent to London to act as tAe financial
agent of the Davis government. AT that
time there was large amount of gold
in the Bank of England to the credit
of the confederacy-supposed to be about So, 0O0,-
900. What became of this money has always
been profound mystery, but many persons be-
lieved that Thompson gobbed it Anyhow, he
suddenly became enormously rich. A story was
told to the effect that when jeff Davis went over
to London just after the war he was very poor,
and Thompson generously gave him $10 600 out
of his ST. 000, 900. Of course this might not have
been true but there were people who believed it.
and to the day Of his death Thompson had to
fight the charge that his great wealth was drawn
from the foreign treasury of the collapsed con-
federacy"

The Leader of the Half Breeds.

Minneapolis Special.
The Hon. z. Demeules prominent French.
Canadian of this city, who has known Louis
Rel, the leader of the Northwestern revolt,
very well for years, says that Rel is a shrewd,
we'll educated man, who will give the Dominion
government more trouble than they expect.
Mr. Demeules gives this account of him:
''Riel is highly moral man, brave as a lion,
and much like his father before him in other re-
spects. He has an uncle (his fathers brother)
now living in Minneapolis. Riel is about forty
five years of age. He attended the same college
/ did in Montreal in his early days, and well
remember thempression formed of him at
that time as that of young man of brilliant
promise When he graduated he stood second
in his class. He is one-quarter Indian,
as his grandfather married full blood
squaw. He is liked by all who know him, and
his very appearance is enough to inspire one
who meets him with confidence. He is nearly
six feet in height, and when he left college
weighed 100 pounds and presented as fine a
physical appearance as any man ever saw. The
next time | saw him after.he left Montreal was
in 1858, in Minneapolis He came adven-
turing young man, and remained mere year. l
had not seen him for three years, and when l
met him at the Des Meyers House--the half way
house between here and st. Paul--he recognized
me and began to talk Latin to me- then re-
while he remained here. Leaving here young
Riel went to Montreal, where he was educated at
the expense of philanthropic lady named Mas
SOFT who lived near Montreal, and who aided
young men possessing such talents as Rel had
The next time / saw him was in 1878,
when he was flying from justice. The Canadian
government had set price on his head-$l0, 900
| think-and spies were after him He had been
travelling in the East incognito, and was I'M
known save to friends here. / was in the Legis-
lature at that time, and one day Riel, another
gentleman, and myself were in saloon opposite
the Merchants when Riels quick eye detected
the presence of Englsnmen.
""'My Godr said he. in French; 4 am dead
man. nodding toward the Englishmen.
Then he left me by the back door. My other
friend had set-to with the Britshers, and after
downing one of them we left. Riel was in hid
ing for three or four days until his wouldbe cap
tors had left. Then he went north and west,
but kept out of Canada until five six years ago,
when he was pardoned."
Mr.. Demeules described Riers father as man
of great genius He at one time studied for the
priesthood, and in 1849 led the half breeds i'll a
revolt when their grievances against the Hudson
Bay Company could no longer be tolerated.

How He Made Wolseley General and
Peer.


Peer.
New York SUM-
Louis Rel, who has organized the rebellion,
is the man who made Lord Woiseley British
general and peer. But for Riel's rising in 1870
Wolseley, then Northumberland in Canada,
with small hopes of preferment would have
missed his chance of leading the Red river expe-
dition which brought him first into notice and
led to all his subsequent preferment Riel has
had remarkable career. He is a native of Man
itoba, havingbeen born there forty one years ago,
under the old Hudson Bay Company regime. He is
of French ancestry and has some Indian blood in
his veins. Well educated, bold and insinuating
in his manners, he was just The man to place
himself at the head of the French half breeds
when they resolved to resist the intrusion of
the Canadians after the purchase of the terrific
rial rights of the Hudson Bay Company in 1869.
1t was always suspected that some of the officers
of the Hudson Bay Company were the real in
citers of the revolt owing to their discomfort at
a new government being set up where they mad
so long had undisputed sway.
However that may have been, the movements
under Riels leadership soon passed beyond their
control A provisional government was set up
at Fort Garry, the Hudson Bay Company's fort,
and property there was seized, and thus Riel
and his associates became possessed of hundreds
or thousands OF dollars worth or property, in
GLIDING fort with abundance of arms and
ammunition. A number of English settlers I'M
dertook to resist Riels authority, but the little
rebellion was nipped in the bud and one Of them,
named Thomas Scott, of Ontario. was shot by
Riels orders. The event has left behind it bit
ter feelings, in the province of Ontario. and 1t
would be decidedly unhealthy for Riel to appear
in the province, even at this late day.
AS soon as Wolseley, at the head of the regu-
lars and militia, appeared at Fort Garry. Riel
fed and his government dissolved. 1t was
another Sedan When the Fenians under
ODonahue proposed to invade Manitoba few
months later, Riel again came to the surface,
this time as loyaist and offered his services to
Governor Archibald to resist the invaders. In
1873 he was elected one of the Manitoba Repre-.
sentatives in Parliament, and actually went to
Getaway to take seat He was sworn in by the
clerk one day when no one was about but when
the news got abroad there was such cry for
Riels blood that he left Ottawa without making
any farewell calls, and has not been in the Do
minicn capital since. Soon after, on motion of
the present Minister of Customs, Mr.. Mackenzie
Bowel. Riel was expelled from Parliament and
his seat declared vacant Since then he has
spent most Of his time in the United
