MR.. MACRIN,S CASE.

BY the Constitution Of the State OF
New York, the Governor is empowered
TO suspend the Treasurer from Office. during
the recess Of the Legislature, whenever it shall
appear to him that the Treasurer has. in any
particular, violated his duty" BY law OF
the State, 1t is provided that "no moneys
"shall be paid out Of the Treasury except
"on the warrant of the Controller" If Mr..
Mackin has paid moneys out OF the Treas
ury except upon the warrant of the Control
Ter. he has certainly "viOlated his dutyn in
an important particular and 1t is the duty of
the Governor to suspend him.
There will be no suspension, Of course.
The story is to be hushed up, and
the Governor and Treasurer will pre-
serve their present official relations un-
til the close of their terms. Probably
we shall never know the exact truth
about the matter, but enough is already known
TO ralse grave presumption that Treasurer
Mackin has violated the law, and that Gov
ernor Robinson is neglecting his own duty
in net suspending him. The albany Ar
gus is itself the witness OH this point.
In its official explanation, published yes
terday, which was intended to put n
smooth face upon the whole affair.
Tie Argus stated that some days ago
irregularities involving the employment
&" of individual checks as cash " were dis
covered TO the amount of $4,000. "ndIvid-
"ual checks" are not cash, and can never have
been cash, and Tho Argus puts it mildly
when it calls this an irregularlty.' 1t is
precisely the same irregularity that has
often been seen in the accounts of
thieving tellers and dishonest directors. In
every such case, probably, that has ever been
discovered, actual cash was taken. and the
check, or simulated cash, was counted
IN its place. There seems to be strong reason,
by analogy at least, to believe that some
thing like this was done in the Treasu-
rer's office. If so, the law has been violated
by the payment of money without a warrant
from the Controller, and the Governor should
suspend Mr.. Mackin. Once more, then, we
feel justified IN asking this question -
What would you have done, Governor Rob
inson, if Treasurer Mackin had been a Re-

The burning of the stables of the Eighth

afforded our fircmcn another opportunity OF ex-
hibiting their energy and courage; and the
public will learn with much commseration
that they were shown, upon this OCCASION
at the possible expense of human life Several OF

congratuation that the hlmes'were confined TO the
stables and that the distress aud danger winch
would have followed the extension OF the IRE To
the tenement buildings in the neighborhood were
averted In this age of humanity, some sympathy
ought to be felt for the poor horses, one hundred
and fifty in number also burned. The life of a car
horse is not an easy He works hard, IS not
at least luxunously cared for. and is soon worn
out in the service. STILL If permitted to make
choice we presume that The worst bundle OF

the allies ii the news published yesterday is

and paternal spirit. and showed how deeply
this demonstration of regard was appreciated.


Really The Hartford Courdnt ought to know
better than To he mlsled by the spiteful clamor
of the New-York papers that were beaten
on the news about the late New
York Central negotiation. They are only letting
themselves down easily. 1t wds trying TO
miss all news of the largest offer to sell
railway stock ever made by single
owner AN offer that had been reduced to
writing and kept open till some of the heaviest
bankers in New-York and London were
enlisted in the scheme. Mr.. NanderbIlt Is
good-natured man. and if it will be any con-
ISOLATION to them he will undoubtedly show
them the document.
A good look at the work done by the Chill
dren's Aid Society in this city ought to be
perfect cure for good many kinds of cync-
ism 1t is an answer to the current sneer
that charity-in the charitable societies
always begins mt home. This society during
the past year has gwen 300 children homes
i'm the West. with a broad chance for
happy and useful lives, and the total expense
in each case has been So Oh. In poor-house,
as the annual report aptlv says, the cost for
q year would have been $40. Nearly 5000
children have been strengthened and some
times brought back to life in the " Summer
Home,' at a cost for each child OF 81 81.
Nearly 5000 boys have been received III the
Newsboys' Lodging House, at cost OF ia
cents each. Mr.. Brace may well say, with
pardonable pride, Surely this is economical
charity" The report of this work Is
an overwhelming answer, too. TO the theory
| that charitable effort accomplishes nothing in
the long run that people who are helped out
of the gutter always get back there. The
Children's Aid Society has sent to homes, dur
ing it's existence, more than $4,000 persons
$4,000 of whom were children, and it is be-
lievcd that 90 per cent OF all have turned ont
well. Many of them hold positions of honor
aud profit in the community More than 2S,OOO
children yearly are now under the care of
this society, and few of them have ever gone
as,ray. The society has disbursed, since the
beginning. two and half millions of dollars,
without having a penny stolen and without
seeing single child harmed by the fault of
its agents. These are cheering figures In an
age when not all the figures are cheering.
