Springfleld, 111., Aag. 28 —Payment«f iBtereet on the funds in the state treasury Is becoming the settled public policy in Illineis. The ' present state treatarer, John F. Smnlski, has paid in¬ to tke treasary a eonsiderable snm col¬ lected as Interest money from tke Chicago banks, and of coarse moch will be paid before the expiration of his term of offlce. Andrew Rassel of Jack- so-iville haa jast made hU formal an- Donacement he says:
"Believing tbat  the   preeeat    State Treasurer has ostabliabed a jast pre cedent dn the matter of interest «n the state funds I  shall,   if   nominate!  and elected, adopt tke same policy."
Thus Mr. Boseel -'0618 the pace" for a erybody who may seek the cdBoe of Htate Treasurer next year.   Other can dldates, if tbem be any,  will bave  to make tbe same pledge.
Those wbo «re disposed to critioise former treasurers for loaniofc the funds and pocketing tks interest, as tbey are sopfrased to haive done, shoald bear in miad tbat saoh has beoome the estab lished custom, mainly beeaase -of the inadequate salary fixed for the Treasurer. Tbe treasurer was allowed a salary |3,a00 a year; bla term of office was two years, and be was ineligible to socoeed himself. In theee bttter days it costs large sum of moaey to get elected to state offlce, and It ia doubtful if any maa wbo haa held tke office of State Treas¬ urer in recent years" expended for cam paign purposes lexs than the entire salary for two yeara, and indeed some of them are known to bare spent more. It was well understood that the offlce was wortb a good deal more than the salary, and for that reason it was deemed a prize wortb going after.
It wae preposterous to expect a pnblic official drawing a salary of only ta.lH)0 a year to give a bond of 11.000.000 and to be responsible for several millions of dollars placed in his keeping. The legislator* hiat winter took cognizance of this fact and Increaaed the salary of the State Treasurer to llO.uOO a year. This cf course places tbe office on a different footing, aud beroafter tlw pay¬ ment of interest will probably be the In¬ variable rnle.
Tbere is not maob likelihood, how¬ ever, that a law ."n the subject will be paased by the aisambly. Ho many'diffi oultles were found last winter, aud tbere were lo many differenced of opinion on the subject, that the attempt Ijad to be given op. Tbe cbief troable ii that any law making tbs loaning of tha state fodli eompnlaoiy > aniat, to m e«t«irt, reUarathe Traaanrtr of liability. At praaeettbe taaia may ba ooaaldarad abaolntaly lof*—ood tba tatety of the anili ratbsr than thsir lareitmsai     or a
"profit", is. after all. tbe main thing to be kept in view. If the Treasnrjr loans the tands be does so at his own risk, aad whatever h* tnrns into tbe tr»;isury in tke way of interest ie so much "velv«t" tor the stute. If tbe Treasurer were re¬ lieved of liability for loss, and tbe loaii- ing of tbe funds were entrasted to a board of commissioners, one unfoctanate loan might wipe out all of tbe state's proUtt from intereat fnr twenty years. Fur this reaaon, ao long as State Treas¬ urers follow ootthe policy of loaning the Aiods and turning tbe intereat into the treasury, the law probably will be silent. It will be recalled iduvt scme- thiog like fifteen yeara age tbe legifi- latare passed oo interest law, bat it was se fall of holes that practioally no in¬ terest ever was paid into the treaeary, aad after a bitet existence 4he law re- jpealed.
The revival of the ffessip aboot SIcbard Tatea as a poeeiMe candidate for United 8tate Senator against Senator Hopkins has raised the qaeetion whether or not the legialatnre vratU be likely ta give both of tbe Senators te one ooaaty. Senator Cnllom's home is in Sknganuiti county, and iiince his retirement froai governahip Vates has beea.a reaidenc at this city. It has seldom happened tkat one county kas had both of the ^natora. Snch was the caae from 1891 to 1897, when the Keoators were Cullom and Palmer. Bat tbey represented different parties. Itja probable, however, that If any nian shall carry the primaries for United Slat«s Senator he will be eleeted, no matter where he may chance to live. Geography is of less importance In con¬ nection with toe United States Senator- ship than is tiie case witb the ordiaary ^ate office.
