A Novel Esxperiment—The New Capltol— Dangerous Condition of the Ol Capitol. To the Editor af The Tribune. Des Moings, la., Jan. 1L.—Much exctement was causcd in East Des Molues last Friday by n novel experiment of the School Board, to see how long It would require to cmpty the largest school-house in our city, when crowded with chlldren, by the alarin of fire. The experlment was & grand success. Blx hundred children went aut of that achool-house In Just two miu- utes and a half by the watch, No one wns serfously hurt, but some of the Indlgnant pare cuts are not satisfied to have suchan expurinent tried on thelr dear children, g0 they sro petition. iny for tho resignation or removal of the experl- menting 8chool Board. The new Cupitol buildlng has progressed very slowly, It was commenced, I helleve, In 1870, and does not appear to by half-completed yet. If it continues on at the samo rate of progress, 1t wiil take ncarly as longa thno to build the Capltol forthe Iawkeye State as Solomon took to bufld his temple. It was a great mistake, and false economy In the General Assembly of Towa to appropriito only some $200,000 annual- Ii for It crection and it s to bo hoped that the next General Aeseinbly will appropriate enough money to (infsh it. n this connicetlon, the question arises, Whero will the next Ueneral Asssmbly of lowa meet! Certainly nat in the ald Capitol bullding, Any man of good sound common sense, who will ex- amiuo ths old Capltol building ciosely, up-staira and down, outalde and In, must comy to tho conclusion that thobuilding s uot eale, not even for the Governor or the Stute officers; and that it will never do for the concentrated wisdom of Towa to mect any moru in that old shell of a bullding. Many persunshave thought that Gov, Kirkwood must huve a great deal of husiness to attend Lo at the Unlversityund at his home dur- Jng fast susminer aud fall; that he was absent too much; but thuse persons who have seen him scanning the old brick walls of the ola Capitol building, luukhu“n the large cracks, and then, when ho reuched the ol steps, taking a good lang luok out west, to seell there was auy & of a storin,~these gentiomen fully understood the Governor's businessat lowa City. Gove Kirkwood Is looking forward to the2d of Feb- Tuary, with much Mxlh:l{. Ho Intends to reatn tha Governorship ou that day, leave the old Capitol building_ torever, go to Wash- fogton City, and take his scat in the United States 8enate, in o building of marble, where there are no cracks or suy dauger of full- fng, notwithstanding the huc aund cry eof the oftlcc-hunters. It was a surprlio to manv, last sumnier, that State Treusurer Christy declined Irclmlu‘nul(un; and that the State Buperin- tendent of Schools, Alonzo Aburnetly, resigned and accepted the Presidency of the “University of Chleazo, They are seusible, ‘They had no wish or deslre to be buried up alive under brick and lime, But those persons who huve been watching, waiting, and praying for the last two vears, und polnting out, to every person they wmct near the old Capitol bullding, those large cracks, aud declaring the building was not safe, with the delusive hope that Becretary of State Young and Auditor ‘of State Sherman would become alarined aud reshgu, might as well glve up the ldea, ‘Those geutlemon have made up their minds to stand by the old bullding as lons as there s & brick in the walls. Au there {4 another kmportant natter to be taken luto consideration in regard ta the selection of & bullding for the mecting of the next General Aucmblf' which will have to clectn_suceessor to the [fon, William I, Alli- son. There witl be about ten candidutes, and those candidates will cxpend about 810,000 each in getting thelir friends nominated and cleeted to the Leglsluture, Should thu Assembly mect in the old. Cllllml building, and it should full down and kil the memvers before they had elocted s Seoator, 1t would, to say nothing of the loss to thelr families and the State at larice, ho a great fnanclul disaster to the candidates for United 8tates enstor. Serlously, I du think the old Capitol building unsafe, aud do hope that Uov. Newbold and the Exacutive Coundll will In time try to secure u sultable bullding for the next General Assem hlfi.
