MISTAKEN ECONOMY.

Through praiseworihy desire to be ecOnom-
ical the State Capitol Commission is in danger
Of throwing away large amount OF money al
ready expended and turning over to the State
a building Of which it will be ashamed. They
have advertised for bids. to be opened next
Monday upon plans which involve radical de-
parture from designs already partly carried out.
and the substitution therefor Of a cheap and III
considered scheme for the completion Of the
eastern facade OF the structure.
Several years ago, under authority Of law, Cap
itol Commissioner Perry made a series Of adj
mirabe designs for terraces and an approach
from the east, and the construction of a project
ing section In the centre Of the facade to permit
of appropriate entrances and give needed dignity
to the building. These plans were adopted, and
work under them has been carried on until now
The substructure Of the projection and the stair
cases has been laid up to the level Of the second
story, where the main entrance Is 10 be. and
there has been reason to hope for satisfactory
completion of this, the main front Of the Cap
itol But now comes a new commission consist
ing Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Saxton, State En-
gineer Adams Superintendent Of Public Works
Aldrdge, General Ira VI. Hedges, a banker OF
Haverstraw, and Archimedes Russell, an archi-
tect Of Syracuse 1t was created for the purpose
Of letting contracts for the speedy finishing Of
the building under the architectural supervision
OF Mr. Perry but 1t throws aside the partly COM
pleted designs and orders that the work be
patched up in good enough" way to enable
the commission TO report its duty done regard
less Of the artistic felicity OF the result. This
method OF procedure, 1t is calculated, will save
$275,O 600, while 1t filings away much Of the money
already expended on the facade ard approach.
The people demand no such short-slghted
economy" The Capitol has been an expensive
and annoying burden. Work on 1t has dragged
through more than twenty years, and 1t has al
ready cost SCI 100000. Every taxpayer Is anx-
ious that the heavy drain should cease, and that
the building should be completed as quickly as
possible, and the commission Is well advised in
giving heed to that desire But, after spending
30 much money on what with all It's faults Is 4

shame Its own self By defacing this great work

A BULGARIAN CONVERSION.

Ferdinand Of Bulgaria maintains his family
traditions. The founder Of the Bourbon dynasty
in France declared Paris was worth a mass.
This princeling reckons Russias friendship
worth apostasy-by proxy. SO he DEGREES that
his son and heir, Prince Boris, has been or Is to
be converted" from the Roman Catholic faith
to that Of the Orthodox Catholic Eastern Church.
Considering that Boris is scarcely old enough to
know church from a sugar plum. the only con
version" there Is about 1t Is In Ferdinand's own
political schemes. He has found that the as
sassination of his great Minister. Stambuloff,
was not enough to win the favor Of the Car.
and he has resolved to make this further sacri-
fee. He did intend to have the baptism Of the
child according to the Greek rites occur while
he was out of the country. That was one reason
why he went travelling few weeks ago But
an intimation came to him from ST. Petersburg
that that would not be satisfactory. He must
make his humiliation complete by being himself
in attendance at the ceremony.
Just how much will be gained by this is not
vet apparent Henry " made sure Paris would
be his before he went to mass. But Ferdinand
is not at all sure his sons apostasy will win him
what he covets. He has been making desperate
efforts to get the Car to commit himself but all
in vain 1t Is said he has personally written to
the Car. asking him to be Borlss godfather.
That may be true. II so, We may be sure the
Car has refused. Weeks ago diplomatic efforts
were made to get the Car, or failing him, one
Of the granddukes TO stand as sponsor-Of course
by proxy They were In vain. Had the Car
granted such q request he would thus practically
have recognized the legitimacy Of the Bulgarian
dynasty-the very last thing he has at present
