The capitol building Is now complete,
and the capital commission, now IN ses-
sion, will make final settlement with the
contractor, and turn the building over to
the governor ready to be occupied by all
territorial officers. The building is a
credit to the territory, and no less credita-

capital measure to Mckenzie, who so
successfully worked the plan which gave
1t to Bismarck to the citizens of Bis
marck who so lavlshly gave of their means
to erect the building; to the architect
who designed it to the contractor who
built it and last, but by no means least,
to the capital commissioners, who, acting
from sense of right and justice, and for
the best interests OF the territory, chose
Bismarck for the location, and have faith
fully applied the means placed in their
hands for the erection cf the building.
In due time, the rocks that have been
thrown at them will be gathered together,
and Of them will be built an enduring
monument to commemorate their dis
cretlon aud their fidelity to their trusts.
