The New State Capitol.

The people of the whole State are 10
be congratulated on the fact that GOV
ernor Hasting special message concern
ing the new capitol to be erected at
Harrisburg has been needed by the Leg
islature. The House last week passed
the Walton bill, carrying out the sug-
gestions of that message, by vote OF
149 to 80. As it had previously passed
the Senate. the Governors approval
promptly made it law. The act ap-
propriates the sum of $3.50, 900 for the
erection of a new capitol building on
the old site, leaving the cost OF the
interior decoration and furnishing Tor
future consideration. The building IS
to be ready for the session OF the next
Legislature, which will convene In 1873.
The structure is to be of the colonial
style of architecture. as was the OLD
one.
Energetic work will be necessary to
carry out the provisions of the law, put
with twenty months to elapse before
the next Legislature is to meet, there Is
no reason why that work should not be
satisfactorily done. 1t is understood
that action has air eady been taken to-
ward obtaining plans and specifications
and as the act just passed specifies the
general style of the structure, these
should soon be in hand, and the work
can then be contracted for with strict
limitations as to the time for ITS com
pletion. The job can be so well under
way by next winter that the weather
need not interfere with it, and there
should be no difficulty in completing the
capitol by the time it will be wanted
early in 1899
No doubt there is considerable disap-
pointment in some quarters that the
State is not to spend several millions In
the construction of the new capitol.
The situation was very tempting one
to jobbers and boodlers; but fortunately
for the people the Governor stood firm
ly in the way of corrupt schemes, and
the Commonwealth is now practically
assured of structure for housing its
Legislature that will be creditable to
all concerned and be erected at reasona-
BILE cost. 1t is indeed suggested that
the cost of decorating and furnishing
the building may be made to tiouble1ts
expense; but it is not too late for the
Legislature to pass bill limiting the
expenditures for those purposes, if there
is any real apprehension of such an out
come. We do not think, however, there
need be any fear of undue extravaganza
in this regard by Commission having
the Governor at its head. His active
intervention to secure the limitation OF
the cost of the building itself has receiv-
ed, as it deserved, the hearty commen-
dation Of the people of the State, and it
is not to be supposed that he will be less
decided or less influential in his efforts
keep further expendit ures within proper
bounds.

Gov. Hastings, being in line. They
started at 10 o'clock A. VI. and march
ed up Broadway and Riverside Park OF

HARRISBURG.

Tuesday morning the members OF the
Legislature had a special train from
Philadelphia to Jersey City, where they
embarked on steamer chartered for
the purpose and joined in the naval pa
rade on the Hudson, opposite Riverside
Park and Grants Tomb.
There have been several Road bills
presented to this Legislature, the most
lwidely-published of which is the Ham1l-
ton bill. This one seems to lind the
most favor, but it will meet with much
opposition before it gets through The
State Legislative committee OF the
League of American Wheelmen Is sup
porting this measure and P. 5. Potter,
president of the League is there lobbying
for il On the other hand, members
from rural districts are bitterly op-
posed to road legislation which Will IN
crease the taxes of their constituents
The Appropriation bills will be held
back until near the end of the session
to be then brought out and hurried
through on special order. Governor
Hastings is opposed to tax on beer TO
help pay for the new capitol ana III Is
thought he will veto it should 1t pass.
The Inheritance tax bill is the only
revenue bill he will sign This bill Is
expected to yield a revenue OF s9oo'ooo'
year. 1t exempts real estate ana hxeS
the rate of taxation ON mixed and per
sonal property at 81 on every 800 clear
value and at the same rate for any less
amount. All estates of 1000 ana less
are exempt by the act. If the tax Is
paid within three months after the
death of the decedent an abatement OF
five per cent. is allowed. If the tax Is
not paid at the end of year twelve per
cent. interest is added, and in cases
where the estates, from litigation or
other causes, cannot be settled up IN
year charge of six per cent interest
will be made If the property thus IN
dispute shall not be productive to the
extent Of six per cent. the heirs snail
not be compelled to pay greater
amount than they have realized The
bill provides for the collection Of the
tax by the same method as is employed
to collect the collateral inheritance tax
The bill providing for free kinder
gartens in public schools is likely to
pass. An Oleomargarine bill which
looks fair may pass. 1t permits the sale
of ''oleo" in this State providing 1t Is
properly labeled "oleomargarine' in

a license fee of $1,000; wholesale dealers,
$500; retail dealers 800; hotel, restau-
rant and boarding house keepers who
use oleomargarine, $25. The fee goes
to meet the expenses of the Department
of Agriculture.
