The Probable Deficit for the Fiscal Year
How secretary sherman Pro.
noses tn Make IL Good

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-In his communica-
tion to Mr.. Atkins, which was read in the
House to-day, Secretary Sherman estimates
the expenses for the next fiscal year, includ-
ing the amounts for the payment of arrears Of
pensions (which amount to Sal 100000 at
1884, ,562, ,419 II. and the total receipts from all
sources under existing laws at $257 900 000
This will leave deficit OF $27 ,062 419 IL. This
estimate, he says, is based upon the assump-
tion that the expenditures for the balance Of
the fiscal year will not be increased by un-
usual deficiencies, and that appropriations
for the next fiscal year will not exceed in
other respects the amounts appropriated for
this fiscal year. He concludes his communi-
cation as follows:
The sinking fund must be entirely ignored
and $27, 900 900 provided by additional legisla-
tion. This may be accomplished by the i'm
position OF some new taxes adequate for the
purpose or by authorizing money to be bor-
rowed upon 4 per cent bonds, which in the
present state OF the market can be sold at
par. AS new taxes can't be Immediately pro-
ductive, it is recommended that authority be
given to raise the amount necessary by the
sale of the per cent bonds described in the
acts Of July IA, 1870, and January 20, 1871.
The paper was referred to the Ways and
Means Committee.

In vain for copies OF the letters referred to,

FRANCE.
Party Comment ON the Municipal Appro.
priatlOn to COmmunists.

says: Among the Imperialfsts and Royalists
great Indignation Is expressed at the action
OF the Paris municipality in voting 100000
francs for the'relief OF destitute Communists
The vote is considered as the first step In a
long course OF pandering to revolutionary
conduct which will lead to deplorable results.
The comments made are that the men who
burned the city, killed the archbishop and
priests, and committed innumerable out
RACES, are now to become pensioners Of the
municipality which they sought to destroy
but In Republican circles, even those Of rather
moderate opinions, very opposite views are
expressed, and the action of the municipality
Is regarded with approval and as an ordinary
act OF discreet charity.
