MISS ELLA N. KINsLER.

Tuesday noon, or shortly after. Miss FL
la n. Kinsler, teacher in the high school
building, sixth grade, died of consumption.
She has been a successful teacher for three
years, and had just accepted the position
for another year. Last year, before school
closed she took vacation, but was SO
much improved as to foster the hope she
she would be able to go on with the work,
but her falling health resulted in death as
stated on yesterday. Deceased was a
member of the class of '76, and one of the
most active workers in the alumni society.
Last evening meeting was held at which
the following resolutions were ad opted:
WHEREAS Miss Ella Kinsler one of our number
and teacher in the Public Schools, has been re-
moved from Us by death; and
WHEREAS This Society thereby snstains the loss
of member. the teachers a pleasant companion,
the class OF rs class mate and those dearest to her
a still heavier loss, therefore be it
ResOtDed, That offer sympathy to the fam
lily and friends of the deceased, that preserve
these resolutions in records, and extend copy

cation. DAISY L. HARDY,

Amount of State debt paid
in excess of taxes collected
for the purpose and assets
OF the State used therefor. S293,S47 IS
The argument of the Governor implies
mat the State has properly choice between
only Two methods in the future management
OF Its financial affairs First-A great in
crease in its rates of taxation, in order to
PROVIDE for the rapid extinction of its re-
manning debt in this generation. Second
Or the payment of that debt, as far as it can
be SO paid, by the sale of the valuable inter
nal improvement properties which the State
possesses.
Upon this theory the rate of State taxa
ton, making every reduction of expenses
whether practical or not, which he suggests,
must be increased from eighteen and three
quarter cents to twenty-eight cents on the
one hundred dollars
1t is only needful to say that no material
change in the rate of State taxation is ne
cessary, and that it would be unwise and
improper to sell the interest of the State in
its internal Improvements.
Inc abundance Of money in the markets
OF the world shows that the time is at hand
when our State ought to pursue the policy
adopted by the United States and by all gov
ernments in like propitous seasons. Provi-
slon ior Sucn actlOn was made by the act of
1880, chapter 232. Under that act the loan
OF $3,326,750 66, due in 1888, can be funded
at 4 per cent, and in fifteen years the saving
in interest alone thus effected would be an
amount greater than one-third of the whole
debt.
The reason why the treasury officers have
not invested annually the sum of 100000
in the stock or bonds of the State in aug
mentation of the sinking fund, under the
act OF 1872, chapter 276 was simply that
when there was money in the treasury avail
able for the purposes, such bonds or stocks
were at price too high to permit proper
exercise of the discretion lodged by the act
in the treasury officers. 1t became there
fore, their duty to apply the designated fund
as the same became available out of moneys
not otherwise appropriated to the payment
OF other existing debts of the State in the
manner and to the extent already shown
We will take up the thread of this discus
sion again whenever it may appear proper
to do so. We think, however, that enough
has heen said to inform you fully as to those
State matters which are within our province
and concerning which it behooved us to
speak in our turn

ing Funds.
al AnSWer to Goe HamltonS Recent CHARGES
Of DerelsctioR-A Clear and Concise Pre-.
sentation Of the Case as it actually is
Some Figures for tie Benefit Of
our Idp- Pagers

The communication below, from State
Comptroller Heating and Treasurer Comp
ton, in reference to our State finances, will
be read with special interest at this time, in
view of the criticism of Governor Hamilton
made at the recent meeting at the Maryland
Institute
BALTIMORE, June 3, 1881.
TO tie people Of the State,
At a political meeting, held in Baltimore
on May 26, Gov. Hamilton expressed his
opinions in relation to the past management
OF the finances Of the State The burden OF
his complaint was that the General Assem-
bly, had violated its obligation to maintain
sinking funds sufficient for the payment of
the State debts maturing at various periods
between 1888 and 1898, and that the officers
of the treasury since 1868 had been derelict
in duty in that connection.
One of the undersigned has been Comp
troller since 1873, and one has been Treasurer
since 1874. Since 1868 every circumstance
connected with the administration OF the
sinking funds has been communicated to
the public in official reports. No criticism
has been made upon such administration of
the sinking funds by Gov. Hamilton at any
his motive in bringing the subject now into
discussion. 1t is sufficient to say that he is
mistaken in his statements and conclusions
The total debt of the State on September
30, 1880, was $1l,277, 1909 OF this sum
$5,720,995.93 represents original debts, con-
tracted for internal improvements before
lS40. As an offset TO this Indebtedness thus
incurred the State now holds the following
valuable securities, which were the fruits of
its internal improvements Investments, and
are to-day worth more than the par value,
at which they are here set down:
Preferred stock in Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company $96S,615 20
Washington Branch railroad
stock. ..........-............... $4,000 90
The mortgage, under the act of
1854, chapter 260, securing
the annuity payable by the
Northern Central Railway
y......"........""... 100000 90
Bonds of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. $4,000 90
$3,3S4,615 20
The State has in addition to the properties
indicated;
In its sinking tunds....,......,. 204,6 57 %
In productive stocks.......,.. 1910 on
$263,S27 30
These properties, part Of which have
largely increased in value, and the interest
OF the State in the Chesapeake and Ohio
and Underwater Canals will form, If they
are retained, as they should be, a fund which
will suffice to protect the State against any
considerable ultimate responsibility on &C.
count OF the $5,720,995 % of lis debt con.
tracted before 1910.
The remaining $5,556, ia 70 of the exist
ing debt of the State was contracted be-
tween 1870 and 1880 for the following pur.
poses:

Guitcau will be tried before Judge Cox,
who is said to be the most accomplished jurist
on the local bench. The trial promises to
be a battle between the lawyers With the
case once submitted to the jury the result
would not for moment be doubtful; but
long weeks of legal discussion and quibbling
on technicalities is likely to draw out the
case to an unusual length and delay the final
enforcement Of the laws penalty upon the
criminal. The first point which will be
raised by the counsel for the defence will be
one of Jurisdiction. 1t will be claimed under
thestatute, and following the tenor of the de-
cison reported by Cranch, that the Supreme
Court of the District cannot legally sit in
judgment upon the assassin, the offence hay
ing begun in Washington and the death
having occurred elsewhere. Ii Guiteau is
released on this plea the question will then
be raised and discussed whether he can
again be put in jeopardy of his lie.
