1T IS UNLAWFUL.

In May last, as will be seen from our
column, the Corporation Counsel de-
oided that it is unlawful for the City
Treasurer to allow the city money to
pass out of his possession except upon
a warrant duly drawn. Mayor Stein
man at that time informed the Trustees
of the decision, and in vigorous mes
sage to the board pointed out their
duty in the premises, namely, that they
should furnish the Treasurer with q
suitable vault or safe for the keeping Of
the city's funds. But nothing has been
done about it.
In an interview with the City Treas
urer-elect, which we print in another
column, he is reported as saying thai
his fear is that the city cannot afford
the cost of a proper safe. This is no
response whatever to tie law. The
charter was framed by men who knew
the capacity of the city financially; it
derstanding of all its demands. 1t must
therefore, be concluded that the city is
financially able. It is surely better able
to outfit the Treasurer with safe than
TO continue to furnish banking capital
to private institution, in direct viola
fion of the law made by the city, and
that must address itself to the con-
science Of every Trustee when he takes
the oath of office.
1t is shown in our local columns this
morning that the city has on hand
constantly an average of $233, 800. This
sum, if in the hands of private bankers
is worth something for banking use
But as it cannot be let out for gain, it
is placed on special deposit and earns
nothing. Nevertheless it is a fund in
the bank which it would be unwilling to
keep and be responsible for it if it was
not worth its while to have custody Of
st.
The Mayor asserts that the special
deposit is not such in fact, because the
identical money paid in is not in view
an the bank. but is converted into larger
coins and other forms of the represent
atives of value. II, then, the city can
receive no earnings for the benefit the
money is to the bank, it should not take
any risk whatever except that which
the law contemplates, and that is MI
involved in the selection Of a Treasurer
and the acceptance OF his bondsmen
as sureties.
The thing for the Trustees to DO is to
expend the $1,000 or $1,000 necessary
and purchase for the Treasurer a suit
able safe and require him to keep the
money there. so that it may be come
at in official hours, and warrants
against it not be subject to the shorter
bank hours

TWO BALLOT BOXES WERE MISLAID.
But They Were Found in the Old
City Hall.
The Returns Were All Right. How
ever, and the Trustees Can
yassed the Figures.

The City Trustees met yesterday after
noon for the purpose Of canvassing the
returns of the recent city election. Before
commencing the task City Clerk Flint
informed the board that the boxes con-
tanning the ballots cast in the First and
Third Precincts of the Fifth Ward had
not been sent in. Although six days had
elapsed since the election, Mr.. Flint was
not prepared to say what had become of
the boxes, though the returns OF those
precints had been received.
Janitor Curtis and another able bodied
man were instructed to go out and search
Tor the long overdue ballots. which were
handy to have on tap in case any one
should see fit to contest the election. The
genial janitor made the discovery that the
boxes had been taken by mistake to the
ex-City Hall at Front and streets, where
they were found apparently in the condi-
ton In which they were when the officers
OF election let 60 of them.
The returns, as shown by the tally
lists, were duly canvassed, and n few
slight changes occurred from the figures
published in the Record u Mon on the
morning following the election. The COR
rected returns are as follows:

The authorities of Chicago refused to
permit the anarchists 10 ONTO the public
cemetery yesterday and there celebrate
their bonn b-throwing insanity that made
Haymarket Square the scene of such q
bloody tragedy in 1887. Thereupon the
mon who believe in "stabbing the law"
resolved to disinter those whom the law
put TO death for murder, and to bury the
bodies in plat of ground over which
anarchists alone will exercise jurisdiction.
IN other words Chicago is to have an

Some OF our State contemporaries are
expressing themselves as offended by the
decision of the Supreme Court granting
. now trial to a defendant in a murder
case, because of errors committed by the
court below, and say that these errors
were mere technicaIities. They insist
that the essential things to be determined
were. did the woman kill the man? did
she do so with generalization or in anger
and with purpose to take his life II
SO her conviction was Just, no matter
what errors the court committed,
SO long as they did not prevent the
jury arriving at the truth on these
points" One OF the chief of the papers
cisco Bulletin.
The laws delays are deplored by no
one more than by the Record Union, and
no influence has more inveighed against
them. But there is set up by the people
certain procedure by which courts of trial
must be governed, and certain rules, the
result of ages of human experience, are
prescribed through observance of which
the Jury is to arrive at the truth.
Now, if the court permits to 60 to the
Jury statements which are inhibited by
these rules. or keeps from the jury facts.

appeal for justice was made to our Gov

yet nothing effective has been done to as
certain if this American. who is dying in
q dungeon of France, is legally impris-
oned. The sworn allegations OF his
friends is that lie is unjustly detained;
that he was tried by a court without juris-
diction; that the evidence adducsd against
him was insufficient and wholly trivial,
mere pretext to break down an America n
to whom, in the interests of American
trade, the Madagascar Government had
made important concessions. But then

The milk dealers who supply the re-
tailers OF san Francisco. and who have
their dairies in Marin and Contra Costa
Counties, have been holding a conven-
ton. They have discovered that the re-
teilers have raised the price Of milk 10
uer cent. because the authorities will no
longer permit them TO water the article
and then thicken il with drugs. This
raise is SO great that the suppliers, who
insist that they have not been paid
enough TO allow them fair profit have
determined to increase their selling price
to the retailers. That is TO say, they will
not permit the retailers to take the lions
share. That is right, and ii is gratifying

proof of which was proffered that the
guaranteed right of the citizen has been
invaded, and to just that extent liberty is
outraged.
In this case there was such error. and
this error went to the very essence Of the
intent of the defendant, the one thing
above all others that must be established
to convict. While all the world may
know that the defendant is guilty and
that she should be punished, the other
fact remains that society cannot afford to
permit courts TO commit errors affecting
single right of even the guilty, because
operate against the innocent as the guilty.
Hence 1t is that courts are held to the
strict observance of the rules of proce-
dure and to the laws Of evidence. If they
are allowed in any case to evade or vio-
late them the liberty of every citizen is in
danger.
IN other words, the means PROVIDED py
the law that the people themselves have
erected for ascertsinment of the truth
and the punishment of crime must be
strictly complied with, not for the pro-
lection of the guilty but of the innocent.
The use of the word "technicality' in this
day is altogether too free and lax. What
ever does not comport with preconceived
opinion, or whatever in the laws appears
to run counter TO popular clamor, it is the
custom to denounce as "technicality,"
when the simple truth is that these tech
nicalities, so-called, relate to vital princi-
pies involving the liberty of the citizen
and the right to life, possessions and the
pursuit of happiness.

Really the Powers are beginning to
manifest spirit that leads observing peo-
pie TO think that they mean business now
with the evasive Turk. The latest news
is to the effect that the Sultan has been
SO hard pushed by the European Govern
ments to effect reforms in the provinces,
that he contemplates resignation. But
that will only postpone the inevitable.
The hour of the Turk has struck; he can
not any longer butcher ''infidel dogs"
without answering to Christian nations;
he cannot any longer torture the unfor-
tunate people whom he has conquered,
but who are not OF his race or religion,
and escape responsibility. Internally,
Turkey is in a turmoil, and threatens to
rise in revolt against the Government So
the Sultan's lot is not a happy one, and
the singular thing about it is that no one
worthy OF consideration is particle
sorry for the Sultan.
