uchittM'ts In the state have denounced

pnhiK squarely back upon their

THE STOUT IX DETAIL.
Sow what of the facts, since the com
ifsion hns been dragged Into court?
The legislature at Its last session do-
to build a capltol at a cost not to
iceed $550,000. There was consider-
,e crumbling at the time among poli
clans on inu ground that the sum
imeil was not high enough. Tiny
anted a 3.000,000 or $4,000,000 capitul
nit-thing I" which there was a suf
-lent margin to give ull the "boys a
Takeoff;" that was the idea evidently.
Eut the governor showed that a lirst
;iss capltol could be built fur $550,000,
tad bo the ringsters, the boodlcrs and
: political hangers on were compelled
"accept the situation.
A commission was appointed to build
it capltol. It consisted of Governor
Daniel 11. Hastings, Auditor General
Imos 11. Mylin, State Treasurer Ben
imln J. Haywood, President Pro Tern
si the Senate Samuel J. M. McCarrell
ud Speaker of the House of Kepresen
atlven Henry J. Boyer. The duty of
il! comisslon was to decide upon an
irchltect, select a plan, engage the best
ml lowest bidder to erect the building
ud tupcrlntend the work. None of the
ambers of this commission are ex
ptrts in architecture, so by solemn
kreement carefully drawn and signed
nr til, it was agreed to employ three
hpert architects, who should select
kht of the best out of all the l lans
kbmltted, and out of these eight the
card of commissioners should select
whoBp design was to be awarded a
fci and appoint him architect for the
fir capltol.
I board of experts was chosen, with
lessor Laird, of the University -of
Mnsylvanla, at Its head. None of the
raters of this board of experts, oon-
;tirrg of three persons, were interested
the slightest In any of the plans. In-
d, it had been so arranged that It
is seemingly impossible for anyone to
w the name or design submitted by
1 architect. But It was subsequently
'Kn that somewhere somebody was
"Jtinc The eight plans, ihe best out of
irly HO that were submitted by archi
ls nil over the country, were care
selected by the three men noting
alumni of experts. Then the capltol
amission, consisting of Governor
stings, Auditor General Mylin, Stale
asurcr Haywood. Senator McCar
ami Speaker Boyer, came In to se-
t one plan out of the eight, whose de.
Iraer was to be chosen architect for
hit; capltol.

competition was
!to . .plan t0 lve the con-
certain architect, what Is
ths lodcal conclusion to be drmwn
from the commission's action In throw
ing aside all the plans and ordering
new ones? Evidently to delay the
building of the capltol until after the
meeting of the next legislature. Then,
If a legislature Is selected that Is
favorable to Mr. Quay, a new schema
could be evolved which would mean the
erection of a capltol to cost perhaps
14,000.000 or J5.000.000. Any person with
half a mind can see what this would
mean. It would be a repetition of the
Philadelphia public buildings scandal.
It would mean that Pennsylvania, like
New York, might spend 25 years In
building a capltol at a cost of $25,000,000.
It was prophesied and clearly pointed
out at the time that this capltol scheme
was first brought to public attention
that the state would, as the result of
the action of Amos II. Mylin, auditor
general; Benjamin J. Haywood, state
treasurer; Samuel J. McCarrell and
Henry K. Boyer, In throwing out the
plans, be involved In lawsuits and liti
gations, and the taxpayers put to tre
mendous expense solely because, at the
direction of Senator Quay, they were
following out his orders In the matter
of a capltol building. These suits have
already commenced.
COMMISSION DRAGGED IN COURT.
On Saturday last Judge Slmonton, of
the Dauphin county bar, heard argu
ment In the suit of Cope & Stewartson
and Alden & Highlow, architects of
Pittsburg and Philadelphia, to restrain
the capltol building commission from
awarding the prizes for Ihe best plans
submitted In any other way than that
provided In their published agreement.
inis is oniy me beginning or a series
of suits that will be brought against the
state by every architect, and the tax
payers are to bear the burden.
This Is the story of the beginning of
the trouble over the building of a cap
ltol. it is not a mere quibble over the
selection of nn architect; It Involves
millions of dollars perhaps, and the
people of the slate need to uwaken
to a full knowledge of this fact. It
would be a very small thing If It was
simply a siiunbble over an architect.
Hut that Is not the point. It Is a fight
for the erection of a costly capltol, and
ul'lmately n job of gigantic magnitude.
Tin' friends of the capltol commission
ami the Quay newspapers are doing ull
they ran to obscure the real issue.
Members of the commission have pub
lished interviews !h which they convey
the impression that the sole reason
why they rejected all the plans, de
luyed the beginning of work on the
new capltol. and Involved the stuto In
a number of lawsuits, was because the
plans submitted called for nn expendi
ture of money exceeding $550,000. Of
course this is plausible, but when the
public knows thnt any one of the plans
could have been altered to come within
the amount named, and that It was so
understood by the architects, the ex
cuse of excessive cost falls flat and
dead. That Is the story of the capl
tol building up to date. There are
rumors of some very grave scandals
still ln the background that must come
out If this plan is to be pushed through.
These scandals, if proven, are of a
character to forever ruin the men
whose names are Involved In them.

VERSE OF THE DAY.
Victoria tli Good.
The dew was on the summer lawn.
The rose bloomed, the woods were green.
When forth there came, aa fresh asdawn,
A maiden with maleitic mien.
They girt a crown about her brow.
They placed a scepter In nor hand
And loud rang out a nation's vow :
"God guard the lady of the land!"
And now the cuckoo calls once mora.
And once again June's roea blow
And round her throne her people pour.
Recalling ft) years ago;
And all the goodly day between.
Glory and sorrow, love and pain.
The wifely mother, widowed queen.
The lofUeat aa the longest reign.
She shared her subject' bane and bliss.
Welcomed the wise, the baae withstood.
And taught by her clear life tt Is
The greatest greatness to be good.
Tct while for peace she wrought and
prayed.
Bee bore the trident, wore the helm.
And, mistress of the main, she made
An empire of ber island realm.
So gathering now, from near, from far.
From rule whereon ne'er set the day.
From southern cross and northern star,
liar people lift their hearts and pray;
Longer and longer may she reign.
And, through a summer night serene
Whence day doth never wholly wane,
God spare and bless our empress queen!

Oft have you seen a star upon the stage
In all the freedom of emotion's rage.
Forcing the house to marvel at his skill
And thunder plaudits with a hearty will.
Hut did you note that other player there
Who watched the h ading actor's mock de
spair. Who had no line to speak, or work to do.
Vet who was thereto make the background
true?
Whcse every thought must aid (as each
mlcht mar),
The bright effulgence of the flaming star?
And did you sto to think his thankless
part
Of ioln nothing tool; the greater art?
'Tls so In life. We often much p.dmlra
A m ill whom nothing so nis to daunt or
lire.
Whoe energies are IIV battalions hurled
..,.aii..-it Ills foe und audience, iln; world.
Put do yiv.i note that r.ther u-tur there.
Thin v.'umun of li;s household nnd his
care
Who can do nothing more, nor would do
I. ss
Than live the, background for his life's
success?
A waiting, witching, stiffr ring, silent soul
Without the outlet of n leading rule?
And sure am I her patient, minor part,
Lioomed to nothing, tiikej tho grvatf-r

When tlreilies dot the fragrant dell und

Upon the rose' llrm of love the cooling
