THE STATE TREASURY.
On Monday William H. Berry
assumed the office of State treasurer to
which he was elected last November.
He entered upon its duties pledged to
make every possible reform in the
administration of his office and he
will no doubt make an earnest en-
deavor to make good every promise
made by him to the people. One of the
first of these will be to pay the various
school districts of the State their pro-
portion of the State appropriation next
month, or as soon thereafter as they
have filed the necessary papers. Here-
tofore it hus been the custom of the
machine State treasurers not to begin
making these payments until Seplems-
ber, and to string them out for several
months thereafter. Asa consequence
many districts have had to borrow
money to tide over the interval be-
tween the time when the State appro-
priation should have been paid aud
when it actually wus received.
It was because of Mr. Berry's success
last November that the State Legisia-
ture was called into extra session, and
that it enacted the various reform
measures which it had contemptuously
turned down during its regular session,
It was because of his election also that
State Treasurer Matheus made a suc-
cessful effort to have the whole State
deposit in the Enterprise National
Bank repaid before Mr. Berry took
office, Had the machine candidate
for Beale treasurer it
highly probable that the Biste would
