dream we studied last week. was restored TO his
office. but lie forgot Joseph who had interpreted
the dream, and who therefore remained IN
prison. Two whole years passed. during which
the young Hebrew performed his little round
of duties. Hut God did not forgot him. Then
Pharoah had dream whiel, troubled him. and
he sought in vain TO the wise mean to know
its meaning. 1t was then that the butler re.
called the kindness and service Of Joseph, and
mentioned him with special commentator to
the King Joseph was called into the presence
Of Pharaoh. and the dream explained. The lean
cattle seen in the vision represented famine,
and the fat cattle time of plenty. and IL was
advised that during the good years officers should
be engaged TO gather mp the surplus grain in
storchotscs to be preserved for the days Of
want. The members of the court were entirely

YAWKs AND MAGISTRATES

There is no use talking New-YOrk has some
queer specimens on the police bench Some Of
the men who are put there to enforce the law
do il faithfully and decently but their good
work is often nullified by the freakish methods
Of few Of their colleagues who seem TO think
that their duty is 10 give free rein TO their
prejudces and passions In the decision of cases
instead Of administering justice according TO
law. These latter have notion that they are
petty despots set up TO do what they in their
ignorance. vanity or I'll temper may find pleas
ing. when as matter Of fact they are merely
the humble instruments for securing obedience
TO the State and city statutes They have no
more right 10 take it upon themselves TO block
the enforcement of the anti-smoke ordinance
as some of them are said TO be doing-than to
block the enforcement OF the law against mur-
der by discharging accused men without regard
TO evidence.
An excellent specimen of the Turkish cadi
method Of administering American law was
offered yesterday by Magistrate Brann, than
whom no better practitioner of Turkish or other
barbarian justice can be found in New York
The State Game Protector had secured from
him search warrant to examine the premises
of suspected violator of the game law
Through il be discovered several thousand game
birds in cold storage out of season. When the
case was called affer the search the magistrate
withdrew his warrant, dismissed the case and
according 10 report, made the following highly
judicial utterance:
issued the warrant to search for those much
abused birds. and this upstate warden got a.
look at couple OF thousand birds. I don't pro-
pose TO give any authority for a further search
and then be held responsible for these rural
yaNks prying open boxes and DANA ging honest
New-forkerS property. These rustics have got
an idea that they come down here and rule
the city. when they ought TO be out in the fields

1hls is certainly an interesting legal opinion
A New-forker who holds in his possession game
blrds contrary TO the law is an honest merchant
ana The State Official who seeks to enforce thu
law is country yawk who interferes with
what is none OF his business. 1t happens that

rural districts, and also upon Magistrate Rrann

whether he likes them or not. The law against
storing game out of season may or may not
be wise. That question is none OF Magistrate
Brann's business. He is not a maker Of game
laws or any other laws, but n mere petty nudge
and mis- opinion on rustic rule of New-Yorl or
any other topic OF larger scope than the iudg-
ment OF drunks as meriting a FIVE or a ten

TIE BROOKLYN EXTENSION.

AS said the other day, the favorable action
of the Municipal Assembly after long and obsti-
nate delay seems to remove the last formidable
obstacle from the way Of the rapid transit exten-
sion 10 Brooklyn. But several Indispensable
steps remain 10 be taken before contract can
be made and practical operations begun The
statute provides that the consent of the owners
OF one-half in value of the property along the
route must be obtained, or in place of such con
sent the approval of Supreme Court commits
siOners ratified by the Appellate Division. In
this it happens that the consent of the
Park Board is also required inasmuch as the
extension is planned to pass under the Battery
but there is no fear of a refusal on the part OF
the Park Board. 1T is not improbable on the
other hand, that an appeal will have TO be
taken from the property owners to the court
and in that case there will be considerable
delay
Such complication would presumably mean
not that majority Of those Immediately CON
cerned are opposed TO underground roads in
general or to the projected extension in partfcu-
lar, but that individuals are commonly averse TO
conceding anything when their private interests
are affected, lest thereafter they should suffer
some disadvantage which they might have
avoided. That is a natural trait and it would
be unsafe TO assert that there can be no tusti-
fable excuse for manifesting it in this instance
Yet we hope that property owners will incline
to take a broad rather than narrow view of
the matter, giving due weight to the considera-
ton that in all probability the court will enable
the Rapid Transit Commission to proceed with
out their consent If 1t becomes necessary to ask
for such authority, and that the public earnestly
desires 10 have the work begun and finished as
soon as possible

some good English word does not wake up some

TRADE WITH TWO POWERS.

4 few months ago when this government in
accordance with law and treaty obligations
increased the duty upon sugar imported from
Russia to an extent corresponding with Russia's
practical export bounty thereon, there was
prodigiouS Outcry TO the effect that we We're
alternating our best customer and jeoparding
the best part of our foreign trade. and it was
urged that we should foster trade relations with
Russia even at the expense OF those with Ger
many and all other European countries. 1t was
gravely asserted that sales Of machinery.
steel and iron TO Russia amounted to S3O,OO0,0Oo
a year and that single city in this country
sold S2O0OO000 worth of agricultural and other
implements to Russia each year We pointed
out at the time the manifest abSurdity of such
utterances and now comes official corroboratiOn
of our view of the case.
Official reports show that in the year 1900
Russia's total imports from the United States
were valued at only S21, ,G6l,115, raw cotton
forming about six-sevenths Of the whole. At
the same time RusSia's exports to the United
States amounted to only $1,19O,2S0. Those
figures indicate an important commerce. which
doubtless should be preserved and foStcred. But
compared with our whole foreign trade, or with
our trade with any one Of many other countries,
ii is ptifuly small. For example, in the same
wear Germany's commerce with the United
ten times as much Russians trade with us.
1t was also. by the way, greater than Ger
many'S trade with any other country in the
world. Certainly, then, If we We're confronted
with the alternative of sacrificing the trade Of
one or the other of the two countries We should
sacrifice that which only S23,4J2,S5I rather
than that which was S242,94l. $50. y trade Of
so is better than trade Of only 81.
There is, however. no need Of sacrificing one
for the other The United States, on its broad
and equitable tariff system. can cultivate trade
relations with all the world. We are not
informed that this governments action concern
ing Russian sugar has destroyed American com
merce with Russia seriously impaired IL. nor
do we believe il will do SO. In this view of the
case we are confirmed by the official statistics
of trade between Russia and Germany. They
are the two countries which have most been
waging tariff wars with each other. Yet in
1900 they did business with each other to the
amount of S170. .5s5, $50 If such commerce can
exist between countries which confessedly wage
Industrial and commercial wars against each
other n country which seeks only peace, com
merce and honest friendship with all nations
should be easily able TO maintain its trade
with all
