AND TRI'STW OKTII V ANAI.VSI* OF THE TREASURY Flo- , I'RES AND SOME SOI.III FACTS. The passage during tin 1 regular ses sion of the legislature of the Humes hill, to compel the investment of the $2,700,000 cash in the sinking fund in Slate or United States bonds, has again brought to the front the past disgrace- P ful management of the State treasury. It may be true, its asserted I>V the lie publicans. that the state has never last a dollar of the money belonging to it through the practices which pre vail. It this be true, why did State Treason r Mackcy reluse to unswi r the questions propounded to him several years ago by Senator H allaee when his management ut the Ireasury was under investigation ' \\ e simply refer to this n- one of the many futile eflbrts of the Democrats to get at the bottom tacts i 11. .11 ng s ale liiuuices. Wo lulii ve i: i- a duty the pi ople owo to themselves, without r gard to party, now that they have elected an holiest Democratic Uowrnor, to nl-o elect an honest Democratic State Iri.isur.r, that these stories of peculation may be forever set to rest. That they may see the inn -sityol this action, we desire briefly to call their attention to Mr. Hailey s mis management of his official trust. Hut lir.-t, let us call attention to the pri -< nt condition of affairs concerning the state debt, brought about by lb-publi cans so as to make peculation easy and jiossible for years to conic. The policy of funding the debt in long-time bond at a low rate of interi -t, so far as Up state is concerned, was for the purpos-- of indefinitely continuing our debt on the idea that "a public debt i j a public blessing." The state debt is $19,9")0,- Imhi. The constitution 1. quires OOilot the principal to b ■ paid annual- Jv. The debt was refunded by the in-t of 1.577, SS.OOo.'MM) reimbur-abb- in 18512; by the act of 1*79, s_',ooo,o-mi reimbursable in 1*94 : by tip- act it so,94o ,tit mi rr-imhtir.-nhlc in 1 ' 1 and $2," 10,000, $2-")0,OOO of which falls due annually, so as to enable tic- Treasurer to annually rede* in tic -82u0,000 required by the c- nstitutiou.' as to tut: hinki.m; n m-. We then have the s'.iMi.nno A ;n -rultural College bond due in 19 22. It : will thus be seen that our -late debt i so placed that but >2~>0,U"9 tall- due annually till Is'. 12. Now the proceed of the sale of the public works, which is the constitutional sinking fund, and one-half of certain corporation taxes which belongs to the sinking fund by the net of 1*79, bring t- that fund annually at least $l,."0o,ooo. The in terest on the public debt and the s joO,-, 000 of the principal which the consti tution requires to be paid annually • all--for $1.124,-lb" for the year end ing Nov. I**9, thus having a surplus in the sinking fund this year of $">79,000. With the law a- it now exists that surplus will increase n>-xt . vear $10,0(8)or in I s "' $29,000, I>m, $.10,01 Hi, and so on till 1*92. Thus wc see if there had not been a dollar in the sinking fund Nov. 90, I**2,! under existing law that fund would on the 150 th day of November, 1*92, amount to $4,894,000. Add to this the $2,017,07 ! ea-h in the sinking fund November ".0, I**2, | and we find the Kepuhlienn policy - and management of the Treasury will ' have accumulated iu the Treasury bv November 30,1 *92,5(i,8-")l ,079. There fore we see by this outrag- ous K pub lican management tbta the sinking! fund moneys a! ne enable tic- State ' Treasurer to control the polities of the whole -tate by his ju<)(). 000. This law ha- never been obeyed, and Mr, Hailey told the senate in written communication in answer to resolution of inquiry offered hy Sena tor Humes that he would not obey it. \et hy virtue of this law Treasurer Hutler on April 1, 1882, turned over from the general to the sinking fund $900,000, A IH MIt.tATINIi CONFI.-HION. lliere has been at no time dining Mr. Hailey's administration less than $1,084,000 in the general fund. And there is to-day in that fund almost 82,0,000. it is therefore clear that if the law of 1*74 was obeyed there would be from $8,000,000 to $10,0(H),. (MH) ca-li in the sinking fund in 1*92. Now, what is the result? Let lis ad mil the peopje will not lose one cent of the principal of this vast sum. This money is distributed among favorite bank*, ami Mr. HniW-y makes the humiliating confession that if be with draws the $2,7(8),000 belonging to th sinking fund from the banks and in vest it as required by Senator Humes' • bill it will destroy the credit and may > ruin Homo of the banks. If $2,700,- 000 given the Treasurer su much power 1 ami places the credit ot 90 banks in ; his bands, what would bo his power if ■ ! he had in 120 hanks $8,000,<8)0? It cannot bo denied that the state moneys : are worth to the banks four per cent. I Now, the $2,017,071 surplus in the j sinking fund November 90, 1-882, by i 1*92 at four per cent., will net tln-so banks $809,829.20. The $1,894,009 , which will be accumulated under the existing laws by 1*92, at four percent. ! for one-half that time, or four and one-half years, will net thc.-o banks '! $870,120. ()r iu other w-rds, the Humes' Sinking Fund bill will take j front the hanks hy 1892 the total >uin of 91,676,948.20. It being clearly I I the duty of the Governor to compel j the execution of the law of May 9, i 1874, and that lie through his Attor ney General will enforce it, i- as cer- i tain a- death, there will betaken from i the banks in this way during the next ten year- * iOO,Ooo. Is it any wonder, then, that State Treasurer Hailey, who is tin- creature of tin-e bank-. In-i -tat- to e- mply with the provi-ions of S-tiator Hume-' bill Hy investing Ihi - money in state bonds, or I nit-d Slate- l)i.ml-, tin- people will i-.-ivc the interest. Therefore what his hill takes from the pockets < wealthy hankers is saved to the state. WHAT Till, in mi - in AVI- 1111 i-Kori.i. It i -clear under tin - exist in - revenue laws, aft* r paying the premium on bonds at their market rat. - Senator Humes' hill requires, the investment of the surplus funds in the Trca-ury will by 1*92 save the people more than >l, innoi.

The Ih-i : thing that could Im done wa- to bit> h iup a numla r of w ihi Texan mules, and you can imagine the fun the hoys had. ' (in- afternoon on the pln/za, or public square, of San Antonio, a big, , inirly Texan was endeavoring to drive "ight of these untraiinsl animals, liar- j | ni•>-•'. 1t . a wagon containing supplhs 1 for Harney'- men. "Suddenly and without warning the ' eight beasts b> gan to kick and snort, and then tbev gave a mule chorus of roar- that made the driver look ns though he was sirk at his stomach In tho midst of the confusion Harney, accompanied by an orderly, rode up nnd commenced to curse the nml<-. Then he swore nt the diiver, but the latter was iu no mood for trifling, ami he gruflly asked who the officer wns. '1 arn Colonel Harney, in command of the Second Dragoons.' 'Well,' said the Texan, 'if you xvill pull off that coat, and come down off that horse, I will teach you better manners,' Har ney threw his coat to his orderly, ami in about five initiates be was the worst whipped man in San Antonio. One eye was closed entirely, and there Arns an air of general dilapidation in his 'make-Up.' Harney lost no time in asking his antagonist to 'let up.' and after he had recovered his breath, nnd said with n gasp; 'Who arc you, my friend ?' The man told him he was only nn ordinary teamster in the army. "'How much do you get?' asked Harney. 'Twenty-six dollar* a month,' was the reply.' With nn oath of very generous proportions Harney said: 'That will not do. 1 have frequently ! liad personal encounter" with the men ! under ine, but 1 never wan whipped I before. While in Florida during the Seminole war, I had plenty of lighting lo do besides lighting Indium*. You are the only man that ever whipped me in a 'rough and tumble.' No man who han whipped Colonel llarney can be allowed to work on a .-alary of a month. You will have more pay.' llarney then mounted hi* horse and I rodo to his headquarter*. The next morning tlm Texun who had almo.it whipped him 'out of hi* boot*,' was made a master of a cetion of wagon train* at a salary of 8100 a month." —• Un ion Trti vllrr.
