for murder Of her traducer, NORM, was
acquitted of murder this morning,
but she was condemned to

The verdict of acquittal was returned at
2 o'clock this morning. The announce

tremendous applause, and popular

IRELAND AND THE CAPITOL.

In these columns yesterday the posi-
ton was taken that il the question of
stone WAS the only one in tho way of
the rapid completion OF the State CAPT
tol it would be better to allow the use
of Indiana stone and proceed with the
work. In GOVERNOR I2ELAND's pro-
test against concessions to tho con-
tractors his opposition to a change in
tho contract is based on weightier con-
siderations than that Of the character
o, the stone to be used. He thinks
that the syndicate has obtained from
the State q most valuable contract,
and, in spite of that fact, is inclined to
be tubborn and exacting, and for that
reason should be suffered no furth-
cred advantages of any kind.
The syndicate agreed TO erect
building Of given character for s.
co., 20 acres of land. twas estimated
that the structure would cost 81 800, 0O0,
and that the lands were worth that
sum, or so cents p5r acre. They have
already acquired an equitable, though
not legal, title to about 100000 acres.
Tho remaining 100000 acres are
worth now at least $5,C00,0 600, while tho
building, at most, need not cost
over $3,0C0,OO0, leaving clear profit of
100000 to any man, or set of mon,
building the great new State house.
The Governor sensibly insists that
If this syndicate is dissatisfied, or
100000 profit isn't enough for them,
that somebody else shall be given the
contract. There are men in this State
who can build that capitol, grand and
massive as it is to be, and who would
be glad to do so for s5,000,000. 1t is
from such considerations, therefore,
that the Governor refuses to agree to
any further concessions to the contract
ors, whether in the matter of stone or
otherwise.
The State was well-nigh disguised
with the princelY gift to this Chicago
syndicate in the first place, gift of
$6,000,0O0, for a S2,0OD0J0 house, and
that disgust has been intensified since
through the liberality and hating of
the capitol board. GOVERNOR IRELAND
has taken abusiness-iike, patriotic and
economical view of the matter, and for
the sake of the State Mt large it is to be
hoped that the present contractors will
be forced to push tho building at once,
no matter whether with Indiana or
Texas stone, or DO compelled to step
down and give oyer the work to some
body who will at least complete the
q aDitol in this century.
