PROGRESS ~ THE BEHRING SEA DIS.
PTTE

Two highly important stages of progress in
the Behrng Sea controversy were reached yes
terday. The Supreme Court declined, as we
had no doubt it would, to issue writ of pro-
hibiton to the District Court in Alaska forbid
ding further proceedings in the Sayward case.
The impossbity of such writ being granted
both because it was inapplicable and because it
was improper has always seemed to us certain.
4 writ of prohibition issues when court has
done or is doing something which, quite aside
from the facts or the law is plainly without the
realm of its consideration. The question before
the Alaska court was whether or not the United
States could seize British vessel in Behnng
Sea beyond the three mile limit. Now, whether
they could or not whatever the facts or the law,
that just such an issue as United States
District Courts are organized to try ; and il the
court erred in its decision, it was not to be
reached by writ Of prohibition. The true rem
edy was an annAal. AS the case wa presented

jurisdiction which i now in litigation win the

| The courts in this county are bound on such
questions to follow Congress and the President
| England was here seeking two remedies. one at

and in no event could the court have made any
declaration with regard to our jurisdiction and
authority at variance with the determinations
of Congress and the President. The Supreme
Court is not charged with the conduct OF our
foreign affairs or the definition Ct our National
sovereignty.

CZ1RISM ND .STIRCATION.

II there be anything in Russia more deplorablc
than the famine IT is the attitude Of tie I'M
pcrial Government toward the famine No fact
could bc better established than that extreme a'd
often fatal distress exists in many provinces oil
the Empire involving millions OF people. TIE
reports regarding il that have during the last lew
months been widely published certainly as
true AS they are narrowing. And with a common
impulse OF plying humanity the world has risen
to the relief of the wretchcd mouiiks. Even in
England, the traditional foe. politically, Of Rus
STA. and in America, where the first idea OF
patriotism il 10 hate the Russian sysrcm, and
everything that savors of it, contributions have
been made with lavish hand. Nowhere has there
been voice save that OF sympathy,
Nowhere that is, save in Russil ITSELF and there
only in the official circle that lies closest around
the throne There Is no famine in Ny Empire,
said the Car with arrogant egotism to generous
officer who brought him contribution for tho
relief Of the starving. At that very moment he
well knew that tens Of thousands Of his subjects
were suffering the pangs OF utter famine or il
he did not, it only because nc would not
know it, That was the keynote Of the official
chorus sung to the time beating Ct the sceptrc-or
the knout. Systematically the Government has
directed it's most strenuous efforts not 10 the
amcorntion Of the condition of the people, but
10 the suppression OF news ana 10 the prevention
of investigation and relief. The great phian-
thropiSt Count Tolstoi has just been disciplined
for telling unpleasant truths; and it is crcdibly
declared THAT the doctoIs who sent to Inspect
the condition Of the stricken region have under
official pressure been forced to make living reports.
attributing to epidemic diseases the deaths that
were really due to sheer star ;ation' Even worse
tales than these come TO hand. a leading Russian
journal openly declares that the officers entrusted
with the distribution OF relief abuse their power
most shamefully. They withhold from the sufferers
the aims given by generous world until they
are able 10 cNtort from them promises pay Illegal
taxes; practically levyng blackmail where they
are sent to offer charity.
The world sholld know these things and keep
them well in mind; not to check its gifts to the
starving, but TO incrcae its enmiy TO the barbarous
despotlsm which causes them To starvc. Let
the offerings of food and money be continued
and be enlarged. But let it not he forgotten
that the worst foe, the worst oppressor, the worst
blight, under which the Russian people arc suffer-

THE BROOKLYN LIBRARY Project

Mayor Body is TO consult to-day with a number
- prominent citizens of Brooklyn who are in
crested in literature and education, on
tbe subject of the proposed free pub
uc library a bill authorizing the eX-
ncnditure of 100000 by the city for estab-
fishing such library and 100000 year for its
maintenance has already been sent to Albany.
The general sentiment Of our neighbors on the
western end of Long Island, so far we have
bocn able to ascertain. is favorable TO such an
or,ernrse but in the minds of many the bill AZ
II row stands is open 10 grave objections lie
urinary idea in such an undertaking. if it is to be
LARGELY successful, is to diss0ciatc it from politics
s far rs possible This measure does precisely the
o,nosite Il provides for board of directors con-
isting of the Mayor, the president Of the Board
If Aldermen lwhO is chosen by lis fellOw-mem-
hers. and not by the community at large, and
nine persons to be appointed by the Mayor 1t
is doubtful in the extreme whether under such
an arrangement the city can obtain what it de-
sircs and needs
one duty of the gentlemen who are to consult
to-day will be, if possible, to insist amend
ments calling for radically different method of
management. On this point we have no detailed
suggestions to offer, but there cannot be too urgent
an insistencr upon the total elimination Of politics
from an enterprise of such a character. Mayor
Roody himself is responsible for the freehbrary
movement, which he brought to public notice in
his message at the beginning Of the year. As he
remarked, free library will be worthy adj
junct' to tle Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Sciences. The latter, however, would never have
reached the position Of influence and usefulness
which it holds if there had been anything OF a
political character in it's management. AT the
same time its museum building is to be erected
with public money The conjunction here of
private and public effort ought 10 prove suggestive
10 those interested in the proposed library. Such
library is needed. The investment, sagaciously
handed, will prove wise and profitable. But a
political library, or one which In the hands OF an
INSCRIPTIONS chief magistrate might be made
part OF the big political machine, would be little
if any better than none at all

THE STATE or THE TREASURY.

Some prominent and influential fnanclers are
anxious about the monetary future. They think
the Treasury cannot maintain gold payments
longer than July. Mr.. Giffcn, the British prophet
of evil, nut the date of the American collapse
only few months too early, according to some
editors. The Treasury has revenue which falls
below the necessary expenditures, they say and
has contrived to keep up its balances only by
suspending payment Of some accounts. But by
July all must come out and the deficit be APP
parent Meanwhile, gold has to 90 out at the
rate of 81 500, 900 per month for silver pur-
chased, these people imagine, 50 that the paper
currency is swelled and the gold reserve ca
hausted If all this were true it would be bad
state of things. If it were all true, indeed Sec
retary Foster would hardly be on the ocean,
spending some weeks in trip to Europe. He
knows the condition Of the Treasury well, and
his reputation is at stake. If there were dan
ger he would not rest until he had provided
against it.
But the prophets of evil assume several things
which are not true. They assume that the ex-
penditures of the Government exceed It's reve-
nues. But the Secretary, with more exact
knowledge of the nature Of the appropriations
and when they fall due than any one else pos
seses, estimated in his annual report OF Deem
Der last that the revenue would exceed the eX-
penditures for the current fiscal year by S24,-
OOO,0 900. In eight months of the year the
actual expenditures have been about S240,-
100000, or at the rate of 100000 for
the year. although his estimate was S409. co.
