Our State Finances.

In the course of a speech deliv-
cred at the Maryland Institute in
Baltimore last May, Gov. Hamil-
ton charged that the officers of the
Maryland treasury had been dere-
lict in their duties since 1868.
The reason of this charge was that
the State debt sinking fund had
not been maintained. Comptroller
Heating and Treasurer Compton,
in reply published shortly after
ward, showed that the Maryland
Legislature, and not the officers OF
the State treasure were responsible
for the abolition of the sinking
fund. The paper also demon
strated clearly and conclusively
that the State finances, in so far
as they had been controlled by the
treasury officers, had been man
aged wisely and for the best good
of the State. The paper of Messrs.
Heating and Compton was a clear
and convincing statement of facts.
1t has never been gainsayed or
contradicted. There have been
efforts made, undoubtedly, to cre-
ate the belief that Mr.. Heating
has not made a first-rate treasury
officer. The efforts to create this
impression have not been by means
of showing any failure in duty on
his part, but by means Of hints,
insinuations and empty charges.
When the facts of his administra-
tion are looked into they are found
to establish that Mr.. Heating has
made a good officer-so good, in-
deed, that there is every reason
why he should be continued. With
all the present out-cry against bad
government, the fact yet remains
that Maryland is financially one
among the best, if not the very
best, managed State in the Union

Some comment has been caused BY the
publication IN the newspaper OF reports
that geld and silver money with holes

cetVsd ny any government office or en-
ploys. A gentleman from nsighboring
town called at the IHTELLIdRScRR Office
yesterday, and said tue reports were caus.,
lug trouble 10 the country, as many mer.
chants and other business men have, in
accordance with the statements made by
the press, declined 70 receive punched or
dslaCed coin except At Q discount. He
SAID there was NO basis Tor the belief that
the coins we're not worth their lace that
be could find, and wished to be informed
on the subject.
A reporter inquired at three Of the
prominent banks u the CITY, and At two Of
them was told that they received and paid
out Coins with holes Ia them just as they
did other coins, and knew OF NO lnstruc'
tons for any person to do otherwise, AT
another bank he was told that deduction
Of ten per cent WAS made from the full
value Of all such coins; that this practice
had been adopted Ia view oil the growing
evil OF the delaGsd coin circulation, and OF
the banks own motion.
At the post office, Chief Clerk Riley re-
ported that his Instructions were not 10 ac'
cept punched or muhlAled coin at It's face,
The reason given Tor this order was that
people made . practice oil boring, chip
ping aud filing metal money, and melting

This evil has grown tn such proportions
that some step will have 10 be taken to
check IT, AT the Office Of the Collector OF
Internal Revenue he was also informed
that 1t was the practice Of the Collector
and his deputies TO refuse all punched
coins, They were driven to this step by
the fact that those with whom they depos'
tied their money atolher points deducted Q
certain percentage for all shortage In
weight. On one occasion . large sum oil
money, about 5000, was sent TO CIncin'
natl, and the Office here had 10 submit TO
