Snndry Civil bill for next year Is OILY S2A'''oVo' A.
goes without saving that next years deficiency VIII be
larger than this years. Again, the regular aPPio
pration for expenses q; United states Courts Tor the
current wear amounted to S3,330.OO0 and the dell
cheney reportcd to-day, not including 1890" on ac
count of deficiencies created In the fiscal year lo"
amounts to ~ e42,5S7, making the tOtal amount re-
ouired for the current fiscal year Sol'3'ia'' Iip

were wholly inadequate. For eNanipIe' inc r'5"''I

road routes during the current year amounted TO

657 TIL, deficiency ITEM. on this account. in the biz
reported today amounts t. S3-3,933. 1t Is doubt
