This is remarkable change Of estimates
which will be commented on further on.
Here it is pertinent to call attention to the
fact that even with this larger surplus there
will be a deficit If the large ap-
prypriation bills now pending
become laws. The finance COMMITTEES
reported yesterday that the pending ap-
preparation bills (not included In the above
statement of appropriations already made or
necessary amount to S359.550 These, If
passed, will wipe out the 500, ,74l.S5 surplus
shown by the second report and leacs de-
fcit of S146, ,S0S15. This deficit exists on
these figures with the following additional
result: That no cash on hand will be carried
over from 1890 to 81 and when the next leg
islature meets it will be called upon to make
good by taxation, not only this deficiency
but the further amount of money which 1891
should receive from 1890; for for the last
nine years there has been carried over from
year to year surplus which on the average
has exceeded S253,OOO each year. This ad-
dition to the above deficiency will make a
real deficiency of about 100000 which the
next legislature must meet. Moreover, there
would be left under this computation no un-
collected taxes, as are now left.
But how about the difference between the
first report of the finance committee and the
second made in the House yesterday morn
ing? It is werth while to compare the esti-
mates of the receipts for 1889 as made by the
State Treasurer in his annual report and the
estimates furnished at this time when a
portion of the legislature are very anxious
that the revenues of the State shall be large
enough to meet certain extraordinary drains.
The Treasurer's estimates are no doubt eau
tious, business-like estimates. They are
published on page 10 of the Treasurer's re-
port of this year. Between them and the
estimates reported yesterday there is

surplus. 29.185.14
The PRESS at once pointed out that in
receipts were included more than a quarter
OF million cash on hand; and that If the
sum of the six large appropriation bills pend
ing should be added to the column of ex-
penses. there would be a deficit of several
hundred thousand dollars.
The points raised by the PRESS have never
been answered; but yesterday the finance
committee brought in its second report. The
conditions have not changed substantially
since the other report was made, but the re-
ports are very different. A comparison of
the two reports should not be omitted. The
summary of them is:
