Show CAPITOL. We wonder if our authorities are looking ovsr plana for a new eapitolf China haa just begun the building of her capitol palace, and it will be mod- eled after the Belgian house of parliament If we have a new capitol that is not aa stately and as fair aa any in the world, we will all be dissppointed. It does not necessarily have to b a great structure such as that in New York or in Pennsylvania; it will need one splendid auditoriunw but the other rooms can be small we mean email for capitol. We notice that when the measure waa before the legislature, it waa proposed to build it so that additions addi-tions could be attached aa the needa of the state might require. It ought to be fixed ao that no additions ad-ditions will be needed for fifty years. It ought to bt complete in itself and as the Acropolis on the heights above Athena waa the citadel of that state, st our capitol ought to be something which eould be seen at a long distance, and aa the old aceount used to state that mariners far out to sea obtained viewa of the Acropolis of Athens, ao our mariners on Great Salt lake ought to aee our capitol with the flag upon it, and all possible splendor edmpatible with the means at hand in full view. - |
