Payment Of the Interest on the
States Debt.

The Legislature. as the public are aware
adjourned without making any appropria.
tions. Some leaders Of the Democratic
party are making this failure an argume ut
against the payment of the interest on the
States Debt, alleging that an appropriation
specially directed to that purpose is neces
sary. The Attorney General of the State,
Oscar B. Hord, in a written opinion. pre-
pared at the request Of the State Auditor.
has taken the same ground. He denies that
there is any law authorizing the payment of
that interest. The effect of this official
declaration cannot but be most injurious to
the credit of the State, since if the aymen.
Of interest, to which her faith is pledged, /
cam be left to the capricious action Of
successive Legislatures, no confidence can
be felt tina. it will be made promptly. or
made 1t all. The failure to pay any divi-
dend Of interest falling due, it needs no
argument to show, ~li greatly damage. II
not temporarily ruin. the credit OF the
State. To allow the impression to remain
uncorreoted. which this opinion creates. that
the State debt cannot be paid unless each
succeeding Legislature approves It. must de-
preciats our stocks and make them the prey
of dishonest spectators, who are already
preparing for the feast the Attorney Cen
eral offers them and the State must again.
and most causslessly. suffer the shame OF
repudiaticn. To correct this impression,
and avert its evil effect upon the credit OF
the S,ste. Gov. Morton has prepared the
following letter.

And SO careful was the Constitutional
Convention in 1850 to provide for anv con-
ansency which might resul, in q failure to
pay the interest on the public debt, that 4
special provision was made in the Cons,i,p-
ton to authorize the borro.ing of money for
the payment of such interest.
Sec. 5. Article 10Th of the Constitution
declares that, !" No law shall authorize any

And the Legislature at its 6rst session un

vides as follows: " The Governor. Auditor
and treasurer OF State are hereby authori-
zed to procure temporary loan Of money

1t is necessary construction of the above
section that if there be money in the Treas

tuaiIy to pay the interest on her debt. and
assumes the existence of all legislation nee.
essary for that purpose.
Further argument is unnecessary. By
his decision upon the act OF 1885, regula-
ting fees, the Attorney General has over
ruled The principles he sought to establish in
his hrst opinion, aud has recognized a rule
broader even than is necessary to authorize
me payment of the interest on the public
iebt. The law is plain. the money is in the
Treasury, and if the interest is not paid the
responsibility will rest with those officers
'pon whom the law has devolved the duty
