therefore be upon the amount actually
paid during a previous year.
The auditor. in his report for the year
ending September So 1886 says regarding
these claims: IN my last biennial report
I advised an increase in the appropriation
to pay criminal charges, to SlOO,COOO, Tor
each> of the two succeeding fiscal years,
(there being at that time, as I believed,
a deficiency in appropriations heretofore
made. Of not less than 100000. The Leg
islature refused my recommendation, and
only appropriated the sum of $Sj.OOO.CO for
each Of said years. From estimates just
made by me. the criminal charges for the
last two fiscal years have amounted TO
about 500 OO0O0 yer year; and after eX-
hausting the appropriations made there
is q deficiency for said last two years of
about $4,000. The deficiency reported by
me to the last Legislature, of said 100000
still remains, in addition to said $3O,Ooo.OO'
leaving at this time, outstanding and un-
paid. not less than $oOOO.OO Of criminal
claims. which the Legislature should pro-
vide for. in addition to the regular appro-
priations which l estimate at 500 CV.CO for
each of the years 1897 and 1895
This statement, by one of our most care
ful and prudent State officials, from the
best possible sources Of information. may
be taken as q fair and just basis for the
guidance OF the Legislature in estimating
appropriations for the years to be pro-
vided for at this session and reminds all
interested i'm such matters, that timely and
accurate information of the true state
of facts and of the amount that ought TO
have been Heretofore provided by the Leg

some with cedar and sassafras and some
with sparkled berry. The handsomest
have the hue Of indigo. The weave is not
