RAPID TRANSIT AND THE COURT.

An application mag be made this week TO
the Appellate Division for modification of the
bond requirement in its rapid transit decision.
Whether not the Commissioners counsel
will sec fit at this time to question the authority
Of the Court to make its approval conditional
upon such a prescription, that issue Is one
which should not be allowed to pass undeter
mined The respect Of the people for the Judi
ciary is the sheet anchor Of our system OF gov
eminent, and that respect Is IN danger of being
undermined when tie judiciary appears TO be
usurping legislative and executive functions.
In the act by which the Appellate Division
was empowered TO appoint It's Commissioners
10 examine into the practlcabilty, desirabity
and ACCESSIBILITY OF carrying out the Rapid
Transit Commissioners plans no warrant has
been found for the Courts doing anything else
than approve or disapprove the report by It's

The closing line, giving in comparison the
value Of imports during the same months of
the year 1892. is highly Interesting There it
appears that in five months the imports of wool
lens have been more than SlO,0OO.0OO less than
in 1892: Of cottOns, about S2.1O0OO loss: of
silks, about 50 200 900 less: OF linens and other
manufactures Of hemp and fax. about Sl100
600 less, and OF miscellaneous drygoods, about
81 100000 less. Nor does there appear TO have
been a considerable increase in the months of
November and December, such as might have
been expected in view OF the enormous imports
to anticipate new duties. Apparently large
share of the foreign trade with this country in
these branches has been cut off, at least for
time. and one Of the largest dealers has recently
stated that he has been doing bigger bust
ness than ever before, and with decent profits,
but almost wholly in American goods
When the country is able to transfer. exclu-
sive of anicipatory imports. n considerable
share of S27o00000 worth Of business to its
own laborers for five months work in the mat
ter of drygoods alone, it ray be said without
much hesitation that the Dlngley bill does not
appear 10 be a failure. Whether IL will also
transfer to Americans the production Of their
own sugar, now costing about S700O0000 paid
TO foreign countries or Of their linen goods, for
which they have been paying foreign countries
nearly $25,000,000 year, has yet to be deter
mined The effort mt all events, Is honorable
to American craftsmanship. But it Is one
which deserves and will need to be supported
by unwearyng appeals to public opinion In the
future. as in the past.

intention of doing that very thing. They counted
on stealing enough supplies to carry them
