The business of the Suez canal Is
increasing at such a rate that it is
earnestly considered to build q par
allel canal, so as to enable vessels to
pass In one direction only In each. 1t
was ut first thought that the present
canal could be widensd 100 feet at an
uncomfortable expense, bnt upon
closer inspection it was found that the
sand, scooped ont of the trench for the
first canal, was piled on either side,
where 1t lies in a ridge OF small
mountains on the banks Several
sidlDgs are in course OF construction,
but they are at the best only make,
shifts and 1t Is quite probable that a
new canal will DO commenced In a very
I short time. Ferdinand de Lesseps,
when he built the present canal, had
not only the utmost confidence in its
success, but prophesied that In q few
years 1t would be inadequate to &C
commodate the traffic and this proph-
ecy has been fulflled, even beyond
his expectations.

European residents In India have
been thrown In a condition approach
ing panic, by a proposition to extend
the powers of native justices of the
peace. Englishmen have always been
q privileged class In india ever since
benign rule of Britain extended to
that country. Among other immu.
mites granted them was one that no
judicial officer residing outside of the
presidency could send an Englishman
to prison. This held good until about
ten years, when, what was known az
the "Criminal procedure CODE" was
passed, modifying the privilege so far
as to allow district judges and Eoglish
justices of the peace to pass sentence
in cases involving not more than one
years imprisonment, other more Sc
rious offences going to the
higher courts. Now q motion
has been made In the legis
lative COUNSEL at Calcutta In favor of a
law which would sweep away sven
this privilege and render Europeans
subject to the criminal jurisdiction of
native justices of the peace. The
Anglo. Iodian population do not like
this prospect at all. Their experience
with the native courts and the swarm
of INSCRIPTIONS witnesses who are
often summoned to substantiate false
charges, especially where native and
foreign interests clash, Is suoh as to
render them very spprehensive as &c
the result Of such a law. Still it Il
hard to see how the benign rule Is t
maintain It's reputation as q clvilizins
agency If 1t has failed after all thes'
years to establish Q system of courts
that can be trusted. Evidently tn,
Justice Of the peace business Is n,
easier 20 manage In India than il
America.

CnhIe street Railroads.

To ts kdiior Of The ErenlE1 Critic:
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE snow storm con.
OF snow fell ON the level In this city. The
cable cars were obliged 10 stop last night, but
are now running again. The north side cars
are laid up, but the west side Uar5 ran all
night with double teams, aided by snow
plows. All trains on the railroads are much
delayed.
The above dispatch proves that cable
street railroads are even superior in heavy
SHOWS to horse railroads. And If superior
in heavy SHOWS and slushy, sleety streets,
such as we have had recently, and in level
cities like Chicago and Philadelphia, they
would be even much superior in hilly city
like Washington, where the cars crawl up
slippery Capitol Hill at snail's pace,
straining the horses to death in a short
time. But they would not only save the
horses in winter, but even more in our long,
hot summers, when they suffer greatly in
hauling heavily loaded cars, and especially
up the numerous steep hills, where they
often balk, delaying many cars. This
necessary improvement has been proposed
10 the District Committees of Congress for
the Avenue and the F.street lines. Many
members Of Congress express themselves
decidedly in favor of the cable roads, and
with proper effort OH the part of the press
and citizens the improvement may be
made. And these companies themselves
ought TO be the first TO move in the matter,
as the experience in San Francisco and
Chicago is that cable roads can be run at
from 30 10 80 per cent. less cost than horse
roads, in addition to tho numerous other
advantages, including the more rapid
transit. Cable cars never bals Mt hill,
but run up at the same speed as on level.

herculean task, as the teachers, Miss Lille
Stevens and Mrs. Phoebe Riddell, who

MIR. DIcnson.s prosecution.

loat, lo-uhy,
OF all tho disgraceful complications
which have attended or grown out of the
Star Route trials, none has been so thor
oughly disgrnceful, not to say infamous, as
the attempt on the part of the prosecution
to punish Mr.. Dickson for having voted
for the acquittal of the defendants. Mr..
Dickson, ms the record shows and as every
person connected with the case well
knows, was q most unwilling Juror. He
was impanneled long before it became
known that the Star-Route cases would
be taken up and. served very nearly
TO the end of the term, to the detriment of
a business which required his personal at
tention, and Notwithstanding repeated ef-
forts was refused discharge. Whatever
was done by him during the trial was
done by permission of, or by the direct au-
thoTity of, the presiding iudgo. When it
was objected by the prosecution that he
was cndcavoring to reduce the mass of in
consequential testimony to something like
ineligible form and compass by taking
notes. Judgo Wylio justified his course.
when, too, he was approached by men
claiming to represent the prosecution with
an offer that seemed to be bribe what
ever IL was meant to be- he appealed to
the same judge and was still further sus-
tanned and justified. Had he voted
for conviction there is nobody so diotic as
to suppose for moment that he would
have been censured or molested But,
voting for an acquttal as he did and cx-
posing as he had the right to do the attempt
TO debauch or coerco him, he has been made
the special object of prosecution and, the
DistIict-Attornoy refusing to lend himself
70 the perpetratiOn of such an outrage, the
contract was given to another and sufli
GENTLY subservient instrument. The course
Of Police Justice Smell in holding Mr..
Dickson TO an appearance before the
grand jury can be accounted for
on no other ground than a desire
TO please or fear TO offend the
Attorney-General, and sustains the asser-
tion once made by Senator Wadleigh that
the influence OF the Administration upon
the administration Of Justice in the District
was well nigh supreme, and wholly with
out regard to Justice of decency. The
treatment which Mr. Dickson has received
will force men who have any regard for
themselves TO resort to almost any subter-
fuge to keep of any jury which has to try
a case Of any importance in which the Gov
ornment is party plaintiff or defendant.

CONGRESS should investigate the manner
of taking the last census before it adjourns.
"A more fagrant fraud was never perpe.
trated. After the expenditure of millions
of dollars it is discovered that the statistics
gathered are worse than valueless. Instead
Of reliable statistics, made up from data
gathered by enumerators from the people,
we have nothing but a mass Of figures
manufactured by clerks detailed for the
express purpose in each division of the
Office. No wonder General Walker resigned
before the work he contracted to do was
finished. The people should know the full
measure of the fraud, that they may not be
misled by the false figures being issued from
that office. THE CRITIC can furnish names
of witnesses to prove that the fraud was
intentional and premeditated.
