4 BAD VETO, MR.. MAYOR.

Mayor Mcclellan has fallen far short OF the
expectations of his friends in vetoing the Els
berg bill abOlishing the coroner system in New
York County and transferring the powers OF
the coroners to the magistrates and a board
Of medical examiners The Mayors reasons
for his veto are no less weak than his action IS
unfortunate. The abuses connected with the
"crowner's quest" in this county have been lam
entably apparent for years. Instances Of the
coroners' mishandling Of cases are too numer-
GUS TO mention. On the other hand, where sub
stitutes for the system have been tried they
have been found superior to the Anticipated ar
Management in this county which the Mayor is
pleased to term "time-honored."
Compare, for instance, the conduct of the
Burdick murder case in Buffalo-Erle County
has given up cOroners-and that Of the Moli-
neux case here. On the one hand calm, judi
cial investigation by police justice; on the
other, a coroner meekly doing the bidding Of
an erratic district attorney, bent not on learn
ing the truth but on convicting one man.
Scarcely a case comes within the purview OF
our coroners that 1T is not marred by some err
ratio action on the part of these extraordinary
officials The Mayor has disappointed his
friends and given comfort to his enemies by
this veto

j. H. LANDAU FOR TEMPLE EMANUEL

The Rev. J. II. Landau has been invited to oc-
cupy the pulpit OF the Temple EMANUEL He
was until his resignation last December asso-
ciate minister at the Great Synagogue. Sydney.
Before his departure for London he received
many tributes of esteem, both from the men,
bers of the Jewish community and the general
body Of citizens The congregation OF the Great
Synagogue gave him a purse OF $780, and the
same amount given to him on behalf OF the
Jewish community, which also gave him an IL
Illuminated address. At public meeting at the
Town Hall the eve OF his sailing, the Lord
Mayor. behalf of the citizens and members
of other religious denominations presented TO
him another address. Among other demonstra-
lions of affection and regard were the farewell
conversations given by the Australian Unitarian
Church and the Roman Catholic Archbishop's
letter OF leave-taking.

THE APRIL DEFICIT.

The Treasury statement for April is far from
encouraging. The deficit for the month is
S5,50057S, and the net surplus for the ten
months Of the fiscal year ended with April is
cut TO a little less than $2500OO0. After the
good showing made in March, Aprirs relapse
seems all the more disappointing. March ended
with a surplus of about $3O00,0OO. But that
was n gain Of S2,5O0,OO0 over the balance for
March, 1908. In April, 1903, there was a sur
plus OF 81, 100000. So that the month just ended
shows an actual loss, compared with last year,
OF 100000. Other months OF the current fiscal
year, however, have shown bigger deficits and
heavier losses. In July there was an unfavor-
able balance Of S7,776612; in January one Of
s6s51, 900. Octobers deficit was $5004,O 900. The
first month in each quarter always subjects the
Treasury TO an exceptional drain. April, there
FORE only followed precedent in disclosing a
record OF inadequate receipts and overrunning
expenditures. Spread over the ten months of
the present fiscal year, there has been a month
ly drop in receipts from all sources. COM
pared with 1902'03. of S1,500.0o0. Receipts TO
April 30 this year have been S451, $500
year ago for the same period they were S46e.
$4,000 But expenditures have risen more
sharply than receipts have fallen For the
first ten months of 1902'03 they reached
total Of S43lo0o0O0. But for the first ten
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1904-05-04

months Of 10000 they have aggregated S449,-
100000. A surplus a year ago OF $35,393,OOO
has shrunk 70 q surplus now Of only S2,43S,O0O.
The shrinkage in government receipts has
been due entirely to decreasing customs col
Iections. For April the loss on customs. COM
pared with April 1908, was about S1,250O0o-
For the ten months the loss on customs has
been a little over S21 600 OOO-$6, 100000 more
than the total shrnkage In federal revenue.
Miscellaneous receipts have risen S3,50O,OOO,
and internal revenue receipts about S3,OO0OOo.
In March customs collections took temporary
squirt, actually exceeding the collections OF
March, 1903 But with April the tide seems
TO have set again the other way. The decline
in customs receipts for the year will be nearly
S25,OO0.O00.
Rising expenditures, however. are largely re-
sponsible for this years straitened showing.
In April, 1903, disbursements were only SILL
7G2. 900 For April, 1904, they are over $4,000
900. AS already stated, for the ten months
ended April 80 there has been an Increase IN
expenditures of over S1S,O00,000. Nearly the
whole Of this excess has gone to the mainten-
ance and enlargement of the navy. Last year
SOL POI, 900 was paid out for naval expenses.
This year the total has risen TO $S4,4OOoOO,
The cost of the army has sensby decreased.
For the first ten months Of 1902-O3 dlsburse-
ments on the army's account were SlO2,299,oOo
For the same period of the current fiscal year
they have aggregated S96,930,O00. Two million
dollars has been saved on the Indian account
and S4,OOO,O00 on the interest account But
pensions have cost 100000 more, and the
governments civil and miscellaneous expenses
have increased about S10000OOo
May and June are likely to bring surpluses
instead Of deficits Between them they may
be able TO swell the years net surplus to the
fgure-S14 OO0-roughly foreshadowed IN
the Treasury's estimates. If they do that
they will bring to n fairly satisfactory end
year Of lean receipts and virtually hand-to-
mouth expenditures
