LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

DIsFIGURING THE CAPITOL There needs
to be more care manifested by the watchmen
and porters at the State Capitol. 1t would
not hurt some of them to have half-hourly
beats through all the building. This splendid
pile is already sufficiently dirty and in need
of paint and renovation. Yesterday in broad
daylight some boys removed the gas cock
from one of the clusters of gas lamps on the
southern front stairway, and the gas soon
filed the corridors and Railways, not only
offending the senses but adding to the dis
coloration of the walls. The walls of several of
the corridors, passageways and the exterior
walls Of the dome have been very badly marked
up and dishgured by chalk pencil and char
coal, and whole library Of directories could
be compiled from the records made by the
Toots, Ships, Fitzdoodles, Noodles and MIN
compoops who have attained fame by en-
blaZoning their names in every conceivable
style of chirography upon the walls. Much
of this has been done the past winter and
spring, and latterly the most disgusting OBJ
scenity has been introduced into these wall
records There ought to be some way to stop
this vandalism, some supervision exercised so
that it shall be difficult of accomplish
ment. The dome Of the Capitol has now
become an unit place for a modest person to
visit or children and women to ascend into.
The truth is there is too much freedom with
this public property, too much unrestrained
roaming about through it by youngsters not
IN charge of parents, guardians or watchmen.
/ will cost round sum to blot out the
stains now on the walls, and much rounder
sum if they continue to increase as fast the
next three months as they have the last three
In European countries it is said such dis
fguration of splendid structures like the Capt.
tol would be next to impossible. 1t ought to
be so here.
