The muddle over the Capitol build
ing continues. Since our last, Col.
Abner Taylor, "head man" Of the
syndicate, has returned from the
North, and has been in conference
with the Capitol Board. They de-
clined his plan of using some Indiana
stone for the external walls, to his
qualification, no doubt, for the syndi-
cate thereby save some $4,000. The
question now lies between the Texas
limestone from Oatmanville, and the
red granite from Burnet county. Tay-
lor expresses his willingness to build
of that, in accordance with the orig
inal contract, but also expresses the
conviction that it will not give salts
faction. The parties are discussing
the question of using granite, and
what will be the additional cost, after
leaving off several porticoes, etc, in
cluded in the original plan. Taylor
estimates that the extra cost Of gran
tie will be about $520,0O0.
Most of the Board are now in ia
vor of granite, rather than use an in
ferior quality Of limestone. We be,
lieve the public will endorse that po-

Starting n Paper.
Vincennes sun.

Much has been said about starting a new
paper in Vincennes, and the talk hus been
directed toward the Sun as though its per-
mission and blessing was desired rs a sort of
precursor. Our standing permission is
granted to ''all whom it may concern, to
start and stop as many papers as she, they
or it, may desire. We would not traverse
ten steps to ask any man to start or not to
start paper. Every newspaper exists on
its own merits, like any other business en-
terprise, and it is q "free for all" undertake
ing (the undertaker generally is sure of a job
when man goes into the business unadvis.
edly). We do not believe any man takes
and reads q paper unless he enjoys it or
profits thereby. He does not subscribe and
pay just for fun or accommodation, or be-
cause it happens to be his party organ. 1t
is an insult to mans intelligence to sup
pose he would do such thing. He buys
his reading like his groceries, dry goods and
clothing-where he feels that he is getting
the best value for his money. Any man has,
therefore, the same right to start o newspa-
per that he would have to start grocery
store, and he may expect the same rules to
govern as to successor failure. If he gets
enough customers, he will swim-otherwise,
sink This is the philosophy" of the news
paper business, and the wayfaring man, tho
n fool, need not make any mistakes about it.
The business is richer in experience than
any other. Men have gone into it without
any experience at all, and come out million
aires in that line. The chief consolation q
newspaper man has is that his rival is in the
same business and tortured on the same rack
with himself. He therefore issues carte
blanche to 1.-The world. the flesh and the
devil to start paper, aud has good reason
to laugh when they do so.

The AHie RoVe.

Hongkong, August s, 1885 and re-
ceived by Mr. Robert Cathcart of this
place by the last mail
" In my letter by last mail / wrote
you some particulars about Capt. Hol-
land, thinking that this mail / would be
able to inform you of better luck, but
as 1t is 1t almost seems that the AXit
RoaOe has very little luck for him.
He arrived here with his ship hall
full of water, but managed to get into
dock and get repaired and to after
wards get charter to Tientsin aud back
for $4,000. His dock expenses were
about 81, 900 and If luck had been with
him he might have been back to Hong

be otherwise. He loaded all right
enough and left for Tientsin, via Cheefo

typhoon blowing here enough to
blow the hair off ones head and l was
then constantly fearing for poor Capt
Holland. Both l and my wife were
conversing on the probability of the
brig pulling through it, but imagine my
feelings this morning when took up
the paper and read that the Allie RoWe

Poor Capt. ! have not seen him yet,
but dare say he will come up to my
place this afternoon, this being Satur.

Poor fellow, l wonder what he will say
when / see him, suppose he will be
quite disheartened l shall certainly
try to cheer him up and tell him that
it might have been worse; that he, ship,
crew and all might have gone to the
bottom of the sea, and SO he might !
Just think Of it, a ship full of old iron,
laden with her copper one foot under
water and then springing leak in a
typhoon; why it makes one shudder to
think Of it. You have no idea what a
