THE REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL

III ri n
Jefferson City was disquieted,
aroused and generally stirred up last
Friday by the introduction In the
legislature of resolution to submit
the question of removal of the state
capital from that town to SedalIa, to
a vote of the people of Missouri. The
neopIe are aware of the fact that the
location of the capital at Jefferson
Civ was mistake and, if gwen an
opportunity, would vote, tits believed,
to remove it to a more accessible and
better place. Afraid of the decision
of the people upon this question, If
submitted, the inhabitants OF
Jefferson City do everything
in their power to prevent the
submission of the question. Without
the capital, without the sessions OF the
legislature, without the coming OF the
politicians and those who have busl-
ness of various kinds to transact, the
hash foundries at Jefferson city would
have very little patronage, and with
ont its hash foundries jefferson City
would be non est nihil not muchum
Hence. the opposition there to tn
submission of the proposition OF re
moyal. But, in view of the fact tina
the comfort, convenience and Interes
of the people of the greatest state Il
the union are paramount to the inter
egts and prosperity of the JeffersoI
CITY hash foundries, we are IN taVo
of submitting the question of remova
to a vote of the people of the state.
