Tho Bitter Feeling.


So bitter Is the feeling gainst Hunting
ton that when it was proposed by the II
brary committee of congress To put IN tht
frieze of the great rotunda OF the capitol
picture OF the driving of tho last spike OF
the Pacific railways the people OF the coas,
entered violent objection. There was
some surprise at this, for tho members oil
the library committee had supposed the
people of tho far west would be delighted
with tho idea of having that great achieve
ment, the spanning OF tho continent, com
memorated in the rotunda of the capitol.
But the Californians declared that picture
would be glOriGcation OF Huntington
and tho other men who had built the roads
and robbed the people, and they protested
vigorously against selection OF the last
spike scene ns a topic for the frioze.
The library committee did not feel called
upon 20 hesd thlsprUtest and decided upon
commemorating the completion OF the
roads which connected ocean with ocean
by painting n picture thereof in the great
frieze OF course Mr. Huntington Will not
appear in it in person. For tho remaining
vacant panel in that fricZe the committee
has decided TO use picture OF the world :

sion under consideration shows tho span
isb princess Eulalia receiving tho homage
of the officials of the exposition. Ihere are
some objections to this design, u Delng
