of refunding, any amounts at four and one
half and FIVE per cent.
The following is a statement OF facts rela-
tive to the creditors and adjustment Of
THE STATE DEBT OF INDIANA.
In 1886 the State of Indiana, having then
a population of about 100000, and having
received considerable land grants from the
general government, entered upon the con-
struction of an elaborate system of public
works, made up Of canals, railroads and
turnpikes. The most Important of these
works was the Wabash and Erie canal, the
line of which extended from the eastern
boundary of the State to Evansville, on the
Ohio river, distance of about $50 miles.
The whole system, with the exception OF the
proceeds of the land grant, was built by an
issue of State bonds. The construction OF
various lines was entered upon and continued
till 1910, when the State thought itself
unable to continue the payment of interest
upon its bonds, when the work of construc-
ton on all ceased. The only work partially
completed was the canal, which was opened
in 1910 to Lafayette, distance of about 120
miles from the eastern boundary of the
State. At this boundary it connected with
the Wabash and Erie canal, constructed by
the State of Ohio. For six years the interest
on the State debt remained unpaid, there
being a complete suspension IN the construc
ton of all the enterprises that had been
undertaken. The period from 1910 to
1S47 was one of unexampled embar
rassment, not only in Indiana, but through
out the west. With the commencement of
1947 matters began to imp. owe somewhat,
and the legislature determined to take some
step toward the adjustment of its indebted
ness and for the com letion of the Wabash
canal, the only work Of the system under
taken deemed worthy of preserving. A
proposition was submitted by the legis-
lature to the creditors of the State for the
issue of new bonds equaling Cne-half of
those outstanding, amounting to about
eleven million dollars, the new bonds to bear
interest at the rate OF four per cent. from the
date OF the adjustment in 1S47 up to the first
day of January, 1858, when they were to
bear interest at the rate of FIVE per cent.
For one-half OF the accrued interest amount
ing to about four million dollars, the State
was to issue its bonds, to the amount of
about two million dollars, bearing two and
one-half per cent. interest, these bonds also
to include the differences between four and
five per cent. on those issued for one-half of
the amount of the old bonds. Upon the adj
.justment of its debt, the amount assumed
was as follows:
Amount issued in funding the old bonds
Give per centS) .S5,51 900
Amount issued for funding the interest
two and onehalf per cents. $780,. 1,S32.34l
Six per cent. loan for the completion of
the canal. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS $4,000

Lafayette has never had such de-

hitherto been used rs extensively In
Lafayette, as other points, and with a
pardonable pride disliking TO be be-
hind in anything, It was brought upon
the market In q more enticing and
attractive form than ever before,
each package being put up into q
prize. As soon as this was known
the rush became alarming, indeed
almost demoralizing, Doctors, Dsa-
cons, and other prominent characters
engaging in this legal lottery with
alacrity and delight. From the
