Wednesday, November 7, 1888.
National Finances.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The first
third of the current fiscal year ended
yesterday. The receipts and expen-
ditures of the government for that
period were to-day tabulated at the
Treasury Department, as they will be
the basis of estimates for the remain
der of the year, which Secretary Fol
ger will send to Congress next month.
They are of unusual interest. The
total receipts for the four months
were in round numbers 1924 300, 900,
as compared to s144,90O000 for the
corresponding period of last year, a
falling off of little over $20,000,000.
Thus far this year the custom re-
ceipts have fallen off about 81, 800, 900
as compared to last year, internal
revenue receipts about $10,000,000,
and miscellaneous receipts nearly 81
100000. 1t is not believed that the
same rates of reduction will be main
tanned throughout the year, and the
best opinion among treasury officials
is that the total receipts this year will
fall less than $50,000,000 below those
of last year.
The expenditures thus far have
been nearly s9,0O0,OOO less than they
were during the first third of last
year. The surplus revenues have been
nearly $35,000,0OO, as compared to
s46,0O0,OQO during the first third of
last year. If this rate should be
maintained throughout the year, the
surplus would fall only $33,0O0,OO0
below the surplus of last year, thus
making the total surplus for the cur
rent year over $122,0O0,OOO.-Free

sacred associations, l, Josiah w. Be-
COLE, Governor of the Stateof Michi-
gan, do hereby appoint Thursday, the
Goth day of November, 1888, as a day
of public thanksgiving and praise to
Almighty God.
1t seems proper that at the falling
of the leaf, when the ripened fruits of
labor are gathered, we should reverent-
ly pause, and from our hearth-stones
and temples of worship offer our
grateful thanksgiving to the Oliver of
every good gift for the blessings of the
crowned year.
Industry and frugality have been
rewarded /; the interests of religion,
temperance and education have been
advanced; our marvellous increase in
population and wealth has not affect
ed the integrity of our free institu-
tions; the scars inflicted by civil war
have been healed, and a growing SEN
timent of fraternal concord and 10y
atty to the flag prevails among all the
States of our once imperiled Union.
Let us observe this Thanksgiving
day with such social festivities and
religious observances as tend to cement
the ties of family and of friendship,
and foster a spirit of brotherly kind
ness toward all men. Let it be day
for the exercise of the broadcast chart.

OF Thunder bay river. The right TO expend no
exceeding one thousand dollars for the purpose of
building repairing bridges, seems clearly 10 have
been given the Commissioner Of Highways under
Sections one and two of Chap. VII. of Act No.
243 of the laws Of 1881 If il becomes necessary TO
expend greater amount than this for the purposes
aforesaid the question of raising that amount must
be submitted TO the electors See Sec. Of said
Act.
II seems therefore, that the action of the Board
in providing In advance by tax upon the taxable
property of the township, for an amount not ex-
ceeding the sum which the Commissioner would
have power TO oxpend without vote, us legal.
The only question that has been suggested is,
whether the law contemplates this 81 0O00) is TO be
raised by tax In addition TO the money tax provid-
ed by the fifth Sub. of Sec 2, of Chap. OF Act
No. 2i3 Of the laws of 1881.
After careful examination OF the various sec
tons bearing upon the subject, 1t is submitted that
the amount of money TO be raised for the building
of bridge, is TO be in addition 10 the money tax
provided for in the fifth Sub. of said Sec. that
Section lhfth Sub'd.l provides that the Commis-
sioner shall report, etc., the improvements neces-
sary to be made in the highways and bridges, and
the amount of money necessary to be raised No
provision is made therein for the budding OF
bridge, or at least definitely made, but Chap. Of
said Act above referred TO, giving the Commissions
er power to oxpend not more than one thousand
dollars, clearly provides for building bridges

otherwise substantially conform to law the infor-
malities being such only rs this Board has full
power to correct.
