A Thirty Million Job.

In 1876 the New York Legislature
passed an act providing for the erection
of new capitol. The act provided that
the building~when completed should not
cost more than $4,000,0O0. At that time
public sentiment did not justify the cree
ton Of a more costly building. Before the
foundation had been laid, the parties who
were engineering the job prevailed on the
next Legislature to adopt more extrava-
CANT plans, and through corrupt means or
criminal pride or stupidity each
succeeding Legislature added to
the cost until the original sum
to be expended had been more than
quadrupled, and yet the building was very
far from complete. Up to October last
sixteen and half millions had been ex-
pended, and it is stated that the amount
will reach eighteen millions by January
next. after which six or seven millions
will still be required to finish the building.
Then several millions additional will be
needed to buy land around it and open
suitable approaches. The New York
people have about made up their minds
that the total cost Of their new
capitol will not fall short of $4,000, 900.
How many millions of this is unneces-
sary extravaganza, and how many should
be chargable to corruption, it will prob
ably never be known. 1t is not doubted
that a suitable and very creditable capt.
tol could have been erected for $4,000, eco,
but as 1t is it Is claimed that the immense
pile which is being erected is badly
planned, badly situated and is open to
severe criticisms from an architectural
point OF view.
Two years ago the General Assembly of
this State provided for the erection Of a
new capitol not to cost exceeding $1,000
600. 1t was conceded that build
ing that would illustrate the great
ness, the wealth, and the dignity of
Georgia could be built for that
sum. Public sentiment would not In
dorse any scheme that would involve any
greater expenditure. A capitol COM
mission in sympathy with the people on
this subject was chosen, and the members
went to work to get the best possible
building within the limitation fixed in
the act. They succeeded in making what
is thought to be most advantageous
contract, which is now being carried out
There is little doubt that an effort will
be made this summer TO induce the Gen.
eral Assembly to authorize the increase
of the cost of the building so as TO enable
the contractor to use Georgia stone for
the outside Of the walls.
If the million-dollar limit is once passed,
there will be no telling what the cost Of
the new capitol will be. Il is the part OF
wisdom 10 pro1t by the experience Of New
York. Unless Georgia stone can be OBJ
tanned at a price that will enable the
building TO be completed for the sum named
IN the original act, 1t is doubtful if the
effort TO substitute Georgia stone for that
already decided upon by the commission
will be successful.

ALong Time Between Dea1s.

Col. E. Wolfe, OF Indiana. told an amusing
incident that had occurred between himself
and Gen. Hatch the day preceding. The last

while, however, orderlles began to come in at
both doors, and the situation grew critical.
Maj. Hatch started to his feet with the
exclamation: "Wofe, this thing is get
ting too hot. Mind, it's your deal" And,
leaving cards and stakes on the table he hlir-
ried from the hovel and mounted his horse.
