THE CAPITOL.
Under the provisions of an act entitled "An act to provide for the erection of a new state capitol and a building for the temporary use of the state officers," approved March 31, 1871, Governor Baldwin appointed E. O. Grosvenor, James Shearer, and Alexander Chapoton as a board of building commissioners. They met at the office of the governor on the 11th day of April, 1871, took the constitu- tional oath of office, filed their bonds and completed their organization by the election of Commissioner Grosvenor as vice president of the board, the govern- or being ex officio the presiding officer. It was decided at this meeting to make a tour of observation and in furtherance of this design the board visited Springfield, Illinois, and Madison, Wisconsin, during the month of May.
On the fifth of June the board met and prepared an advertisement and ordered the same published in New York, Chicago, Detroit and Lansing inviting from architects the submission of plans and designs for the proposed new capitol, in competition for the premiums offered by the legislature; said plans to be de- posited with the governor on or before the first day of December next. On account of the Chicago fire, October, 1871, in which some of the designs were destroyed, the time was extended until December 28th, at noon, when twenty sets of drawings were submitted. On the 24th of January, 1872, the examination of designs was completed and by a unanimous vote of the commissioners and all the state officers present, the design entitled "Tuebor," submitted by Elijah E. Myers of Springfield, Illinois, was adopted. The second prize was awarded to P. H. Decker and the third to Edward S. Jenison, both of Chicago, Illinois. On March twenty the board entered into an agreement with Elijah E. Myers to act as architect and general superintendent of the construction of the new capitol, at a compensation of twenty-five thousand dollars. On the 20th of May the detail drawings and specifications were completed by Mr. Myers and on the 21st an advertisement was prepared and forwarded for publication to the cities of New York, Chicago, Detroit and Lansing soliciting proposals from builders and contractors for erecting and completing the capitol in accordance with the plans and specifications adopted. The bids were submitted July 8, and on the 15th the commissioners entered into a contract with N. Osburn & Co. of Rochester, New York, and Detroit, Michigan, to construct and complete the capitol, in accordance with the plans, specifications and detail drawing, for the sum of $1,144,057.20, all four fronts to be constructed of No. 1 Amherst, Ohio, sandstone. The contract required the building to be completed December 1, 1877, and the contractors entered at once upon the work.
The legislature of 1873, by a joint resolution, approved April 24, provided for a public celebration upon the laying of the corner stone of the capitol and for the appointment of a committee to provide appropriate arrangements therefor.
The committee was to consist of the governor, who should be its chairman, the members of the board of state building commissioners and ten citizens of the state, to be appointed by the governor. The committee so appointed consisted of the following persons :

The board of state building commissioners was directed by the legislature to procure a suitable corner stone and to cause the following inscription to be carved thereon with raised letters in sunk panels. On the east face, "A. D. 1872," and on the north face, "A. D." and the year of completion.
The commissioners selected New Hampshire granite. The design was prepared by Architect Myers and the contract for preparing it awarded to Struthers & Sons of Philadelphia.
The corner stone of the capitol of the state of Michigan was laid in the city of Lansing on Thursday, the 2d day of October, 1873. A procession was formed under the direction of General William Humphrey, chief marshal, consisting of the military, civil officers, commanderies of knights templar, inasonic fraternity, encampment I. O. O. F. and fraternity I. O. O. F., after which an introductory address was delivered by Governor Bagley. This was followed by prayer of Bishop Samuel A. M.Coskry, and the singing of the national anthem, "America," by the assembled multitude. Then came the oration of the day by Hon. William A. Howard, following which was the impressive ceremony of laying the corner stone, conducted by Hon. Hugh McCurdy, grand master of the grand lodge of ancient free and accepted masons of Michigan. The capitol was finally com- pleted in 1878 at a total cost of $1,510,130.59. The total appropriations amounted to $1,525,241.05, leaving an unexpended balance of $15,110.46. The state capitol was dedicated and occupied in January, 1879. It is situated in the center of a square tract of land containing ten acres; is 345 feet long, including porticoes and steps 420 feet; 192 feet wide, including porticoes and steps 274 feet; and 267 feet high. It covers one and one-sixth acres and has a walk around the outside of 1,520 feet in length.
During the year 1899-1900 a system of electric. lighting was inaugurated in the capitol, which necessitated the laying of 34 miles of rubber covered wire, 34,000 feet of circular loom conduit and 4,500 feet of iron conduit; 3,400 incandes- cent and five arc lamps were placed in position, the expense of which was about $18,500. The above work was done by the Capital Electric Engineering Company of Lansing, Michigan, under the supervision of E. B. Kinny, to whom belongs the honor of having completed the work as a whole in a neat and most substantial manner, the work occupying only a period from October, 1899, to August, 1900.
The capitol is at present occupied by the legislature when in session, the gov- ernor, the state officers, the supreme court and the library. Owing to the growth and development of the state the business of the various departments has increased until the commissioner of labor and the dairy and food commissioner are compelled to occupy quarters in the old state building, corner Washington avenue and Allegan street. The military equipage is also stored in the old state building and the state tax commission is at present quartered in the city hall building.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
UNANIMOUSLY PASSED BY THE CONGRESS OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, JULY 4, 1776.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opin- ions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes de- structive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organ- izing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long es- tablished should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing in- variably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute des- potism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to pro- vide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former system of government. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world :
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing import- ancc, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained, and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature-a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the repository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into a compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused, for a long time after sneh dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their cxercise; the state remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
·2
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for the naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appro- priations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in time of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our con- stitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pre- tended legislation :
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;
For protecting them by mock trial from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;
For imposing taxes on us without our consent;
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefit of trial by jury ;
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses;
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies ;
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circum- stances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our com-
3

mon kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connexions and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of jus- tice, and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war; in peace, friends.
We, therefore. the representatives of the United States of America, in general congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the recti- tude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states; and they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connexion be- tween them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be totally dissolved, and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, con- clude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
