OF the states considered as Union
states, to.wit: MARYLAND, Vest Viz
virginia. Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky,
Kansas. Tennessee have u larger
population and greater wealth than
Dakota, and have not established state
homes to TIE present time; and every
state and territory i'll the foregoing list
furnished greater number Of mon in
the Union army and navy than Da!so-
ta. This is npt alluded to with dissa.-
aging intent, us Dakota's population
during the war was only about 5000.
1t is referred TO merely to call your att
tention to tic fact that very few SOL
diers from this territory could take ad.
vantage Of such & home: aud thus ne
cessarily, il wcvld have to be occupied
largely by tlase from other states
where homes are now already located.
Those who come from states which have
not established homes as we'll as trans
portation to them, which is furnished
by the national government.
And l am justified in saying that al
most every state. if not every one, which,
has failed To locate and provide Il home
has provided directly or indirectly some
retnrniu view thereof. and consequent
ly by this appropriation, is in the na-
ture Of provision for what has al
ready been provided for by the na-
tional government and by the states
from which many of our resident
cx.soldiers enlisted.
Further, it lisa grave question wheth-
er this home established, would be oc-
cupied by a sufficient number to iusti-
fy the expense incurred. 1t would be
located far away from the center Of
population and such isolation would
not be an attraction.
The following list shows the uames
of states having Soldiers Homes: the
number of troops furnished by each
during the war; the population Of The
last census.
The average number Of inmates in
each of the Homes in fourteen states
would be about $50. We omit the ia.
bic given by the governor. as it cuts nc
figure. pro or con -note by editor.
l Each Of the above number Of state:
except Vermont, has population lar.
4 ger than Dakota, and the number of in.
mates in each of the state homes is bu,
q small percentage Of the total numbe,
Of soldiers and sailors furnished to the

STAIRS BUT NO ELEVATOR.
To be Built in the New Addition
to the Custom House,
A CIRCULAR ToBOGGAN SLIDE
TO Take the Place OF the Easy Stair
Case Now in the Building There
May he Room for u Sliding
Pole InsIde the Stairs,

It was supposed at first that the
"wart" which the Treasury Department
Is building on the south end OF the
Custom House, was to be used for a
specific purpose; that is, to aCcommo.
date an elevator, but from recent deyel.
opments it seemsthRt those who thought
II was projected simply to give some
persons jobs, were correct IN their oplR-
ions, The addition" sometimes called
a "bay," and by some a "cow.den,"
was to have received an iron
staircase, and in the centre, an ele-
ystorior passengers and freight. Under
that proposition, the idea was received
with some favor, but II is now an
nounced, and with every indication Of
sincerity, that there will be no elevator,
aud that instead OF the old broad, easy
stairs which led to the upper stories, the
only means OF access to the upper floors
will he a stairway about four and hall
feet wide, and bpiltin spiral form 80 that
the inside OF each step will he about four
inches and the outside fifteen inches
deep, What improvement the Depart
ment imaglnes this will be, cannot be
conceived by finite minds such as tnd
Judgment in and about Wheeling.
A few days ago the work OF putting In
the staircase was begun, and 1t is now
up to tho first story. It shows only
about two feet diameter inside tht
spiral staircase, and MIR. William Fissel
the superintendent, when approached
by a postottice employeethe other day
with the question, "Where will the ele
vator be-" said that the department hat
found that there was not room for both
so the stairs will be put In, and the ele
vator left out. There Is forum
ately enough space In the centrl
for the erection OF All iron rod, similar
TO those used in the Fire Department
houses for coming down Quickly, anC
persons who do not like walking
down a long flight Of ugly stairs, car
slide down the rod. The whole Job
from the time the plans Of Mr.. Well
were taken to Washington and iakeC
over by "two.for" Government arChi
teCt, to the present, has been a farce, ant
now this idea Of Laying out the Gle
yator, and supplanting the good old eas.
iron stairwRyRith . ciFcllaF toboggal
slide Is the consummatlon Of the YER
foolish plan.
Ii there is to be no elevator, there |
no use ofthe "bay," and 1t would be vel
for the Department. to.tear down the un
slightly carbunCle, and restore to th
Custom House It's symetry and plail
architectural beauty. II tho postotIC
needed more room II could haye beer
had at much less expense and on . NOR
convenient plan, and still the splendil
old stairway might have been preserved
and the beauty Of the building not In
terfered with. The only thing gaineC
by the ADDITION is few feet Of space II
