THE CREDIT OF CONNECTICUT.

The transaction that took place so quietly in the state treasurer's office yes terday, witnessed by less than dozen people, was 8 memorable event in finance. The full issue of twenty-five year bonds of the state of Connecticut, bearing only 3 per cent interest, was sold at premium of over seven-eighths of one per cent.
 No other state and, we venture to add, no nation, has ever before placed sim liar loan on such advantageous terms. The British consols, 1t is true, are per cents, but they are sold below par; and the United States 3 per cents were placed at par without any premium and are really the extension of an old loan and not similar to this twenty-five year : bond, beside being essential to the na- tional bank circulation. These Con necticut 3 per cents stand by themselves as the only long 3 per cent bond of any state or country ever placed at pre- mium. The financial credit of Con- necticut is the highest in the world!
 And there is no reason why any other commonwealth should stand any higher. There is not the slightest taint or suspi- cion of repudiation about the financial record of Connecticut. It is clean all through its long history. There is no better security in the world than the promise-to-pay of Connecticut, and so the world thinks. The placing of this loan is its practical demonstration, and the transaction will be one of the note worthy events in the administration of Governor Harrlson and Treasurer Cham berlain. To both of these gentlemen the state is under large obligation for their earnest and intelligent manage ment of this most important matter of business, which they have so success fully conducted. If we are not mis- t1ken, it was with them that the propo- sition for 3 per cent instead of 3l per cent loan originated.
 With this loan placed and the 1865 six per cents withdrawn, which will be &C., complished by October, the state deLt will stand as follows:-
 Payable. Interest Due. Rate Amount. 1887-1S97. May-Nov. 5 $1,O3l ,OOO is1O. Apr.-ocs. sI S,OCS .74S,,OCS
 Total *4,27l ,OOO
 This makes no account of $2OOO of 6 per cent bonds due iu 1884, which have not yet come in.
 The saving of interest effected by the transaction accomplished yesterday amounts to $52, ,266, or about 5000 a week.
 Look back 20 years to 1865 and see what was the condition of the state debt then. It stood thus:-

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise for when be marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when ne saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom in, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek-
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he'd sink, and
