MoNuMENr To CrNEY.

The proposition to erect a monument to
the late \. w. Quincy, which started out
so auepcously, is under cloud already.
Designing politicians have seized upon 1t
as a plan to gain some notoriety, and
there is a disgusting scramble on for
leadership. The remains of the great negro
leader were hardly cold in the grave before
this fight began. There are two factions,
each striving TO take unto themselves the
credit for beginning and carrying on this
work. They are saying unpleasant things
about each other and making threats which
would not look we'll in print.
The movement to raise funds for monu-
ment TO Quincy was started by the Ma
sonic fraternity, and was welcomed by all
true friends OF the dead chieftain. The
trouble began as soon as the names of the
committees were made known Then it
was the politicians seized upon it as a
scheme for advancing their own interests
There is a decided lack of enthusiasm at

Army Post Likely to Be Located at
Bolivar.
THE FEDERAL COURT BADLY BEHIND
Lot OF Important cases Arc Yet 10
BE Tricd--Monument a. Quincy
CAUSING IA Ruction.

galveston, Texas, March g.--There are
said to be indications today that the post
| winch the government is to build in this
vicinity viii 80 to Bolivar Point after all,
There is cloud on the title to the east
end that will probably cause the Federal Of
'ioials TO hesitate to spend large amount
OF money there in permanent Improve
ments.
| The original intsntion OF the quartcrmas-
ter generals department was to locate tho
post at Bolivar so as TO have ii away from
| the city and the bad influence of city life
on the soldiers who VIII man the forts.
When MIR Smith. chief of the bureau OF
construction, came here, however, he was
so pleased with the military reservation
surrounding the forts at Fort Point that
he did not hesitate TO express his prefer
ence for that locality. But 1t has since de-
yeioped that the claims which Colonel
Gresham makes to the land will probably
act rs bar TO their improvement by the
government as contemplated by MIR. Smith.
Just what these claims are has not been
learned, but it is said by these who are in
a position TO know that they are sufficient
ly serious 10 defeat the plaus TO create
big post and military park on the land
south of the ietty.
When Mr., Smith first came to Galveston
he was informed by the city attorney that
part of the reservation was in litigation md
that suit for its possession had been pend
ing in the civil district court here for seven
or eight years. The nature of this suit did
not appear to Mr.. Smith as a bar TO the inn
provoment of the property, aud he gave 1t
as his opinion that the government would
so ahead with it's work regardless of the
suit He has since learned of the claims
OF Colonel Gresham under the Big Foot
Wallace grant. and these claims will very
probably send the post TO Bolivar.
1t should be understood that the $50 900
which Is now available for the work Is
merely drop IN tho bucket 10 what the
government will ultimately spend on such
post as that contemplated at Fort
Point. The post at San Antonio has cost
between three and four millions and Is not
completed yet. In addition to the benefit
in n commercial way which would accrue to
the town through tho presence of two or
three hundred troops here, the military
reservation would prove a great attraction
to strangers and citizens alike MS pleasure
resort. Furthermore, il would prove a de-
sirable post to officers and tho Influence
of that branch of the service would bo
constantly eXerted to better It.
But it may be said that pending Some
Unforeseen reversals OF present arrange
ments, 1t is highly probable that the post
will go to Bolivar, and Galveston will lose
her chance to get q beautiful military park
located in easy reach of the heart of the
city.
