The MoRIBUND SURPLUS.


People to Thinking.
In his annual report Secretary Win
dom stated that the aggregate receipts
into the treasury from all sources during
the last fiscal year were 1857, 050, 059,
and the total expenditures, including
sinking fund, were 1929, 579, 929, leaving
aaclear surplus Of So, 40, 120.
The Secretary alsoreported the aggre-
gate receipts. actual and estimated, for
the fiscal year which ends with this
month at 1885, 900, 600 and the aggregate
expenditures, including sinking fund,
at $341, 321, III, leaving clear surplus
Of $43, 67s, 1888.
The Secretary also estimated that the
aggregate receipts for tho next fiscal
year would be 1886, 1000 900, and the ex-
penditures, including sinking fund,
$341. 400, 47S, leaving surplus of S43,-
500, 522. And the President embodied
these figures in his message, adding the
remark that this estimated surplus for
next year lis more likely to be in
creased than reduced when the actual
transactions are written u.s."
In the light OF events since the report
and the message were written, what is
now the prospect in regard to the in
crease or reduction OF the surplus?
During the current year the receipts
have exceeded the estimates. For the
expired eleven months of the year they
were 1864, 5S7, 900, which would indicate
total for the yearo of about $397, 700, 600
IL the revenue laws should remain I'M
changed we might expect revenue
next year of 100000, 900, and perhaps
somewhat more.
Now as to expenditures. The appro-
priation bills, all of which-hape been
framed and most of which have been
passed or reported, call for $410,-
500, 0l3, including permanent appropri-
ations and sinking fund. The
river and harbor bill and the additional
pension bill are likely to call for still
more before they become laws, swelling
the total to some $4f5,0 1000, 9e9;-aHd per-
haps more. The prospect is. therefore,
that instead of surplus in excess Of
the estimates we Shall have a deficit of
$40, 600, 900 or SIS, 600. 600 even allowing
for revenue SIS, 100000 or $40, 000, 900
in excess Of the estimates.
But it is Mr.. McKintey's latest esti-
mate that his bill will cut off between
$50, 900, 900 and $50 600, 600 Of revenue.
This means a deficit of 500 900. 900 to
S75, 1000, 600 in case the bill becomes a
law, or deficit of $1i, 900, 600 to $780,
100000 even If the payments into the
sinking fund should be suspended.
A Republican Congress at the very
outset of its career proposes to expend
nearly $40, 900, 900 more than its Dem
ocratic predecessor appropriated for this
year and upward Of $50, 900, 600 more
than it appropriated for the year be-
fore.

Chinese school Exhibition.

The closing exercises of the Chi
nese day school in connection with
the Chinese congregation of st. An
drew's Cathedral, were held Thurs
day morning from 10 to IL O'Clock.
This school numbers twenty eight
pupils, is under the superintendent
of Rev. II. H. Gowen, the teachers
being Miss Payson and Wun Phen.
The schoolroom was prettily decor
ated and frightened by the festal
dresses of the children. There was
a good attendance of friends and
parents. The pupils went through
programme of recitations and
songs in English and Chinese. They
were examined in English by Miss
Payson and Chinese by Wun Phen.
The Rev. Mr. Gowen catechised
them in scripture and conducted the
singing. The written examination
papers showed good work accom-
plished by the teachers since the
opening OF the school in February.
1t was really surprising how well the
little ones spoke and sung in the
English language. The audience
was much pleased with the exercises.
At the close a small present was
given to each child, followed by
feast thoughtfully provided by Mr.T.

of the Chinese congregation.

Committee could find out the truth, they
were better men than the select commit

A DRAMATIC Entertainment.

The second grand dramatic
school entertainment was given by
pupils of Waimea, (KauaD schools,
under the leadership of their teach
ers, last Saturday night. A great
many people had come together,
and the whole affair was success.
Everything In connection with the
play, the singing, etc., was so we'll
rendered that some of the audience
desire to see brief report of the
entertainment IN the papers, and to
express their thanks to the teachers,
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson, and Miss
Lindsay, for their efforts and per-
severance in getting up such a
commendable affair. We omit
mentioning the names of the young
actors and actresses, in order not
to awaken jealousy, where all de-
serve meritorious notice, and there
fore we award our praise to them all
alike, for they all did well, and
were so much encored that the
affair did not end till half-past
II P. NJ. closing with "King Solo
man receiving the Queen of Sheba."
Again thanking the teachers for
their kindness in getting up such
an attractive entertainment, we
hope that they will give us another
in the near future.
