Foundation Before Winter.
The law of the last legislature con.
templates the procuring of plans for 1
complete new capitol, This has
practically been accomplished. The
next work, after these plans have been
perfected, is to begin work on The
west wing. 1t will take some time 30
perfect the plans and more time TO
prepare the specifications. Then coa-
tracts will be let for the construction
of the west wing, 1t is expected that
the foundation at least of this wing
will be completed by the time winter
sets in. After the completion of the
west wing, the law contemplates the
building Of the new east wing. Then
the north and south extensions will
be erected. All this will be done
around the old dome and in accord
ance with the new plan Of a complete
new capitol. The good and useabls
parts of the old building are to be
preserved and maintained in as good
condition as possible, for which work
there is available an appropriation OF
$4,000. The final task in the COM
pletion Of the new capitol is the cree.
ton of a new dome at the site of the
present one. This will be larger ana
higher than the present dome for the
new capitol will be much larger than
the old and is expected to be large
enough to accommodate the state gov
eminent practically during the life OF
the new building. The east and west
wings are to be built within the next
few years, but the construction of the
remainder of the new building will to.
pend upon legislative determination
as to the needs of the state and tho
tcnability of the remaining parts OF
the old statehouse.

DOES NOT ADVISE LYNcHING.

The Brooklyn Eagle, like most occasion to knock the South for i'm dulgence in what they call the lynch ing habit" Judge of our surprise when we find that paper, while com menting on the crime Of Kidnapping, use this language:
 Child stealing is almost blackest of crimes, It is worse than murder, be- cause it adds to the probability of certainty and anxiety. And 1t should be discouraged. No sympathy wouli be felt for a kidnapper were he lynch ed in the streets of this city. crea- ture f.that stamp Is too despicable to live and he should be de- stroyed on sight as men would destroy dangerous animal
 Like The Atlanta Journal we "are astonished at our contemporary. This open indictment to lynch:ng. this ap- proval to disregard the orderly pro- cess of the courts this injunction to destroy on sight the kidnaper as one would destroy a dangerous animal. is strange talk for a responsible newspa- per to indulge in. The press should always be on the side Of law and or der. Lynching is crime against law and order that ought always to be de- nounced. If poor kidnapper should be lynched on the streets of Brooklyn and the forces of disorder turned loose in that city, The Eagle would be held responsible for the riots that would ensue. The mob needs always re- straint and not encouragement. And the danger is that when it sees such advice given. and 1t in a responsible organ of public opinion. it may inn agine that it's members can go un- whipped of justice. should they take the advice and commit the murder of a criminal"
 The Atlanta papers, 1t will be re- membered. have been severely critl- cised for their sensational manner of handling the news and the events con- nected with the recent troubles in that city. It was charged. especially in the North, that the prominence given the crimes committed by negroes, as well
  whites, was really an indictment to lawlessness. Under the circumstances we can't blame The Journal for using the You're another" style of argu- ment to The Eagle.
 One of the meanest or all crimes is Kidnapping. of that there is no doubt To steal a helpless child, to hold 1t for ransom, and perhaps put 1t to death If the ransom is not paid, is both mean and heartless, but there are crimes more prevalent in the South than else l where, that are many times more de- testable than Is Kidnapping a child. We have no defense or excuse to make for lynching. but if The Eagle virtual ly advises dealing thus with kidnap- pers can it conscientiously denounce lynching for worse crimes? If 1t does, how can 1t reconcile the two posi- 1

Third Party Movements.

San Antonio Express.
 In the First Book of Samuel it is written, in the twenty-seco chapter and second verse: And everyone that was in distress and everyone that was in debt, and everyone that was discontented gathered themselves unto him and he became a captain over them, and there were with him about four hundred men,"
 And this will serve largely as a de- scription of third party movements in this country since the Civil War. with exception of the Prohibition Party, which has an independent political or ganization extending over genera tion.
 The other third party movements, ranging all the way from the Liberal Republican revolt in 1872 to CoXev army and the Hearst movement. have been cphemeral in character and based on some economic or social discontent. Generally such factional insurrect1ons have lasted only for one campaign, though Prohibition and Socialism have
 The Labor Reform Party which held it's first and last National Convention in lS72 was the father of these third party movements of social and econ omic unrest. It sprang into existence conditions following the Civil war. It demanded an eight day, Govern- ment regulation of railroad ana tele- graph rates, prohibition of Chinese i'm mfgration, abolition of prison contract labor, etc. and insisted that all money for war purposes be collected from was was %t' 6riaf " and nd stormy and it's vote was finally cast for the Democratic can didate. ,.-.
