This matter must be dealt with ip &@ practical way s. coon as an able admin~ istration shall proceed to th2 reajustment | of our financial conditions ; and it is well that the intelligent public opinion of the couatry should be prepared to bring its pressure fo bear in an intelligent way.

Upon these grounds the Le zislature authorized the government to borrow $75,00, part of which was to have been expended in building operations, and all of which, as we have reason to. believe, pended, though not even the foundation of either of the buildings has yet been laid. The borrowed money having been absorbed in eome way, and not
