We have received the report of
M. A. Kendall, state treasurer, for
the biennial period ending Septem
Der 80, 1898. The contents are of
much interest and gives testimony
to the rapid strides the Mountain
State is making in the development
of its resources.
Not until within recent years has
the State of West Virginia received
the attention from capitalists which
her vast resources demand.
For long time the tide of emf
grafton and development swept en-
tirely over her in its mad rush to
the far west. At last eastern and
northern capital made the discov.
cry that within easy reach of the
seaboard and lying adjacent to our
greatest home markets was a state
which offered the largest returns

West Virginia has no debt, and
has over $1,000, 900 in the treasury.
La addition to this, she has over
S65o,ooo invested for the benefit of
her schools.
Bank failures have been almost
unknown in the history of the
state, and during the last ID years
no depositor has lost a dollar in a
West Virginia bank. Every legiti-
mate enterprise receives proper en-
enlargement, and foreign capital is
given proper consideration.
Sensational newspaper cores
pondents have frequently done the
state great injustice, but the fact
remains that more intelligent and
law-abiding people connot be found
anywhere.
The people of the State are TO be
congratulated upon the splendid
condition Of Our finance. The i'm
provement during the last two
years has been very gratifying. The
| balance in the State Fund at this
season of the year is unprecedented
and this is all the more gratifying
because of the fact that there are
few deficiencies to provide for. The
total balance in the treasury to the
credit of the three funds is 81 ,o6o,-
500 4S. This is available cash,
subject to check and the depositors
are paying interest on it at the rate
OF three per cent per annum.
This amount is divided as follows:
To the credit of the State Fund,
S424,64I.17; to the credit of the
General School Fund, $367,o26.Io;

to the credit of the School Fund
Cuninvested) $27I,I934I In addi-
ton to these the amount of the
School Fund invested is $65o,Soo.
The amount disbursed for school
purposes during the last two years
was greater than ever before and
the School fund has been increased
nearly 100000.
