RECORD BREAKING.

More than an hour has been chipped on
the time of the passage from New York
to Queenstown. There Is the usual en-
thusiasm over the announcement OF this
fact. The steamship which has made the
new record bears the name Of the City OF
New York and is also one Of the ocean
beauties lately authorized by Con
gress to float the Stars and
Stripes instead of the British ensign.
Yes, IL is all inspiring and the ship In
noble racer, as quecnly as the metropolis
for which she was named. But again,
there is the Thought OF the temptation to
stretch something little too far In this
ocean racing. And this temptation Is In
creased, with Its accompanying risk for
hundreds of lives, every time the record
is made harder to beat. Racing against
time is exhilarating; beating 1t is glori-
Gus. But for the sake OF all those lives
let there be care.

THE CITY TREASURER.

The announcement that was made yes
terday that the City Treasurer had paid
the ten special policemen, who were ap-
pointed by the Board of Aldermen In tho
absence OF the Mayor, was certainly a
great surprise, and unless the facts were
true, we should be slow to credit IL. The
City Treasurer is one of the most genial,
accommodating, accomplished and care
ful of any of the city officials and
10 seems strange that he should have
taken such a step without careful thought
and deliberation, and upon the advice
and recommendation Of counsel learned
in the law other than the City Solicitor,
who is very accommodating In his opin
ions, fitting them to suit the pleasure OF
the majority without regard to what the
law really is In such case.
The treasurership Is hig hly responsible
office and should not be tampered with,
and II there is an official who should be
let alone in the present controversy be-
tween the Mayor and the Board, he Ia
that official. IL is, OF course, very easy to
see that the Republican managers
are those who have ordered the
Treasurer to pay I'm this case.
The Treasurer has shown by she course he
has pursued during the past year that un-
less pressure of some kind had been
pursued tho same ,course still. By the
charter, It is necessary, before any monies
are paid out OF the City Treasury, that
the order shall be signed by the
Mayor. This being the provision
of the charter, no monies can be paid
legally without his signature. A pay
ment made without his signature would be
contrary to the statute, and void. 1t
might az well be said that the payment
could be made without the recommended
tion of the committee. Would the Treas
urer dare to pay without the committees
recommendation or only on the approval
Of the Mayorf The signature of the one is
as necessary "a the other and unless bot
appear tho Treasurer is unauthorized to
pay one cont out OF the treasury. BY doing
