CANAL VERSUS RAILROAD.

JHETHER Chicago in the near future IS TO be
w merely way station between New York and
San Francisco or the greatest metropolis IN the
world with the two ocean cities serving as simple
ports OF entry subordinate to her commerce IS a
problem whose solution IS seemingly to be deter
mined by forces now in operation and beyond the
control OF either OF the three cities whose fortunes
are subject to them.
The first OF these forces is the combination OF rail-
ways into great transcontinental systems. Only a
short time ago Chicago was the great railway ter
rlina OF the Union. The big lines from the East
and the West met there The Atlantic seaboard roads
stopped at her depots and the Pacific Coast roads
started from them. The city the dividing point
OF transportation and vast and farreaching the
commercial benefits she derived from the position.
The recent combinations OF railroads have now es-
tablished series OF transconnental lines from ocean
TO ocean. Passengers and freight are to be carried
from New York to San Francisco without change
OF cars or without passing from the control OF one
railroad management to another. Chicago has been
sidetracked as It were She is to-day virtually way
station, and unless something nervenes will in few
years lose her present prestige in the commercial
world
1t appears, however, that something is going to in
tervene, and something OF such commercial potency
that it will more than counerbalance the shifting OF
railway transportation. When the Canadians have
completed the Georgian Bay canal Chicago will have
waterway to the ocean SO direct and OF such den-
sions that European trade will come to her wharfs
and New York will be sidetracked
The distance from Chicago to Montreal by this
route will be go miles, OF which $50 miles will be
open lake, sheltered lake and improved river, and
thirty miles OF canal fourteen feet deep The distance
from Chicago TO New York by the Erie canal and
Hudson River is 14I5 miles, OF which 1865 miles is
lake and river and 5o miles OF canal seven feet deem
through which boats carrying 5000 bushels OF grain
are moved by horsepower. When the Georgian Bay
canal completed wheat will be carried from ports
the three upper lakes in steel steam vessels in four days
to the ships side in Montreal for cents per bushel
and return cargoes OF imported merchandise will be
carried, in bond, from Montreal to our ports upon
the lakes for Is cents per ton. or less The distance

a Wall FROM THE SOUTH.

7 IHEN the next Congress assemblies the South
TX ern States Will find themselves represented
there in political hostility TO all the rest OF the
Union notwithstanding the vigor OF the renewed ira
terral relations which have been warmed into such
cordial glow by the events OF the war.
In the Senate the Southern delegation viii be sol
idly Democratic. but all the Northern and Western
States except Utah will be represented by Repub-
leans In the House there will be but hty-five Rep
resentatves from the North and the West to go into
caucus with the Io8 Democrats OF the South and give
them the sembance OF representing national party.
Such being the situation, the South finds herself
sidetracked and isolated. Her delegation in each
branch OF Congress will be in opposition TO an over
whelming majority representing the other States
Thus in this OF good feeling the political divisions
in Congress will be more sectional than ever before
in our history not even excepting the stormy years
that preceded the outbreak Of the Civil War.
The intelligence OF the South recognizes the false
position in which she is placed and bitterly denounces
the Jolly OF the mad devotees OF free silver who led
her into it Thus the Richmond Times declared Jew
days ago:
Let us face the facts let no longer deceive our
selves The Democratic party to-day IS without char
acter and standing in the nation. 1t has lost the con-
dence il not the respect OF the great body OF intel
hgent, thoughtful men OF this country. What does
the party stand Tor? What are its principles? What
man IS there in this party to-day who stand up
with any sort OF confidence and declare them?
The situation is the CALLING 10 the South be
cause her people have prided themselves on their de-
voton to political principles and their capacity for
the business OF politics. Now they find themselves
the sole supporters OF party that has neither prn-
ciples nor political sagaciy Their representation in
Congress will be utterly futile far national issues
are concerned-not even as important the Govern
rnent as the tail 10 kite
While the bad plight OF the South IS apparent even
now It will be much more so when Congress assem-
bles and the divisions OF parties in both Houses are
made conspicuous by the proceedings OF the session
Then indeed the South will have object lesson
from which to learn the full extent OF the folly OF 90
and the expediency OF turning away from Organism
and getting into touch again with the rest OF the
country politically she has shown herself to be in
rsr,,ire ratrinfsrr

PRECEDENT IN GAME LAW.
Rights of Superior Courts to Try
Certain Criminal Gases.

An important decision relating 10 the
fish and game laws OF the. State was
handed down by the Supreme Court yes
terday. Tom Mop, a Chinese fisherman
OF San Diego, was arrested for violating
the laws regarding the catching of fish,
being charged under section 363 OF the
code The Superior Court of San Diego,
into which the case was first taken, de-
cided that it had no jurisdiction over the
matter. In case Of conviction the law
says that the person Is guilty OF q mis-
demeanOr, and is punishable BY q fine Of
not less than 500, or by imprisonment in
the County Jail in the county in which
the conviction shall be had, not less than
fifty days, or by both such fine and i'm
prfsonment."
The case was of so much Importance
that the entire court gave il full Consid
Grafton. Justice Garoutte wrote the pre-
vailing opinion and upon his recOmmen-
dation the judgment OF the lower court
was reversed The main points consid-
cred are seen in the following extracts
from the justices opinion:
If the punishment, 20. be inflicted
may not exceed 500 fine, or six
months Imprisonment in the County Jail.
then the Offense is an ordinary INSIDE
meanoT OF which r 5he Superior c Court has as
greater than $500, or the imprisonment
may be for longer term than six
months, then the Superior Court has jur-
isdiction TO try the case"
The court asks, rs there any law limit
ing the scope and effect OF the penalty
PROVIDED py S6CtlOH o9o Inc deIenQant
claimed there. is and pointed 70 section
19 Of the Penal Code. The Supreme Court
does not consider that the point was well
taken, and says:
IF section 19 had never been enacted
there would be no difficulty whatever in
enforcing section 636. and administering
punishments hereunder greater than $500
fine or six months Imprisonment In
the absence of any kind of intimation by
the law-making power that section 70 was
purposed to limit the force and effect of
section 636, we cannot so hold. The judg-
ment is reversed"
Justice Henshaw wrote a dissenting
opinion. in which Chief Justice Beatty
concurred. He said: 1.-THE conclusion
reached and declared by the prevailing
opinion is that a person found guilty OF
violating section 636 Of the Penal Code
and. by an Imprisonment for the term Of
his natural life -

from Montreal Liverpool is 800 miles less than that
from New York to Liverpool
The Georgian Bay canal is to be completed within
i've years and after that Chicago expects the Erie
canal more famed in politics and scandals than IN
song orstory TO be useful anlya irrigation ditch
or something OF that kind. The great mass OF our
European imports will come TO Chicago and be dis
tributed East, West and South from that point The
railroads will have to conform to the ocean traffic and
the city by the lake will resume her proud position
il the commerce OF the country. She IS threatened
to-day with the fate OF way station, but her hopes
are great in the work OF the Canucks.

MORALS OF CHICAGO.

Q OMETIMES San Francisco has QualHs OF con-
science and mourns over her wckedness. The
- spectacle OF Boards OF Education stealing the
city blind or OF Supervisors entering upon their terms
poor but honest and emerging rich but rotten, has
tendency to depress. Often the conduct OF political
campaigns has been marked by crookedness and ras-
Gals have ridden into power the shoulders OF lot
OF bosses who ought to be picking over jute at San
Quentin and yet in every administration there has
been an element OF good, degree OF attention has
been paid to the public veal and the executive head
has usually been Clean even il the law forced him
to be helpless.
But San Francisco may compare herself with Chi
cago and swell with pride. Here at least thugs and
toughs known such are not elected TO Office.
There must be the seeming OF respectability The
dives are not secured for material and their beetle
proved proprietors hosted into Office. In Chicago
no man. so he happen for the nOnce not TO be in the
penitentiary, appears too vile to be made member
cf the adermanic body, and, indeed, the worse he IS
the greater seems his pull
Just now Chicago is engaged in bitter and dis
graceful war. Not content with calling each other
thieves which they probably are, the opposing forces
have taken to shooting. The only death thus far IS
credited to the guns OF Mayor Harrisons personal
following and paper owned by Yerkes directly
charges that the murder with the connivance OF
the Mayor and that he is using his authority to
shield the assassins There no incing OF words in
this accusation and the Mayor either is guilty or the
editorial department OF Yerkes has been rash
That such municipal mess should blacken the
repute OF great city is in reflection
upon the whole country. The people OF Chicago
ought to reform to the radical extent OF refusing TO
place their affairs in the hands OF ialbirds or per
haps supplying the birds with suitable cage They
ought to wipe all the expansive OF Chicago with
the battered remains OF the ruans who are now their
rulers have general clearing OF saaried black
guards and finally become decent law-abding, and
thus in harmony with the environment OF civilization.
