There Is the germ of n State. wide sensation, if net scandal. In the present condition of the State's fiscal affairs. And nut only for the Immediate pres ent, but for the future. All sorts of unpleasant rumors are afloat of unpaid appropriations, while charitable and ether institutions are clamoring at the doers of the State Treasurer for money te keep their wheels moving. Within the past IwentiQfeur hours I have seen a letter in which, in reply te an inquiry as te why an appropria tion was withheld, a State eulcinl riV ihired that there was no money In the State Treasury. Anether lnstnnee of which I nm cog nizant concerns- u great public insti tution.

The first is the con cen con lessien live months age that the treasury was embarrassed. The ether is tlie un certainly tliat this cmjmrras.sment, through fnilurc te pay its bills, can be removed.
