sIlNKING FUND.

SINKING FUND.
The Sinking Fund owes the State Fund,
at the close of the present fiscal year,
the sum of S66, 746. which sum was bor
rowed from the State Treasury by the
late Commissioners of the Sinking Fund,
prior to April 10, 1891, when the State
Treasurer assumed control of this fund
as directed by law.
The above statement shows that the
financial condition OF the State IS ull-
equalled in its modern history. Without
ing, save the war debt, for which pro-
vision is otherwise made; with every ac-.
count as fully paid as presented, with
disbursements for permanent improve
ments and past appropriations paid to
the amount of 1925, ,349, the State Fund has
to it's credit balance in bank of $6I9, 701 10.
This result has been secured not alone
by increased receipts, but by careful
economy, which has kept the ordinary
disbursements of the State down to the
sum of 81 ,331, 002.96, an increase over last
much less in proportion than that of the
populat ation of the State. and is one which
finds expression in the increased demand
for, and payments made to, our charitable
State and County Asylums for the In
sane; the institutions for the Blind and
Feeble Minded; the Industrial School for
Girls, Reform School for Boys, and the
State Board Of Health, to meet the
threatened invasion of cholera.
The public debt has been reduced s62, 800

An alliance between England and the
United States has many things TO COM
mend IL; but IL can scarcely ever be any
thing more than a dream OF sentimental
lists. As against any other nation In
Europe 1t is not too much to say that
Great Britain would have our moral
support and cordial sympathy; but II is
not easy TO imagine existence OF condi-
tions that would induce Us TO depart from
our historic policy and engage TO fight
England's battles for England's sake: nor
does IL appear possible that we shall ever
be thrown into any position where we
shall absolutely require Great Britain's
help. England's great navy and splendid
isolation are her chief safety. She is
able TO take care Of herself. although
an offensive and defensive alliance with
this country would probably safeguard
both against any danger from any nation
or combination Of nations.
