The position of THE VIRGINIAN-
PILOT. as an omen and strenuous on
ponent OF imperialism ana all that it
implies, is well understood; but il is nv
no means an advocate, or even n de-
render. OF propaganda which would
force Itself ana its papers and argu-
ments upon the actual combatonts in
the field. as If to disaffect our own
troops and .niiame and ENCOURAGE tho
armed enemies of the United States in

that 1T was unwisc and very indiscreet
even considered only with reference ,o
the points Of honor, policy and right
in dispute. for Mr.. Edward Atkinson
and other anti-expansionists ane anti-
imperialis;s. TO appeal to the men in
arms. on either side to consider the
argument OF the matter. That is NOT
within their jurisdiction, and it IS cruel
and unjust to attempt 10 involve them

Let the people Of the United States.

course OF the present administration. so

without involving the soldiers OF either
side. We condemn the appeal. from
any side, to men whose duty Is to obey.

ORE DOCK.
The Great Northern to Build One
at AllOueZ Bay.

On Tuesday last the Great Northern
Railway company let the contract for
the erection OF an ore dock on Alouez
bay to cost $4,000. The contractors
are Foley Bros. of St. Paul.
There will be $50 ore pockets on the
dock. each having capacity of 25O tons,
making the total capacity 62.5OO tons,
and will be the largest ore dock in the
world.
The width. heighth and length of the
structure makes the large pockets pos
sible. The dock will be at least Is feet
higher above the water than any of the
present docks. This will enable the
largest boats to load in the highest
water. There has been some difficulty
during the high water this summer to
get full loads on some of the large
boats which are now being used and it
is expected that the size of boats Will
increase still more.
The dredging for the new dock has
been going on for couple of months,
Captain Barker having secured the con-
tract for that work.
The present dock on Allouez bay
has capacity of 400, 900 tons, and next
season Superior will have total capa-
city of 1,026,OOO tons, which will be
greater than Duluth.

Highest in Twenty-three Years.

j. H. Darling, of the United States
corps of engineers at Duluth, says that
the high stage Of water for the head of
Lake Superior this year has probably
reached the maximum, and from now
on will 90 down. The stage of water
has been quite remarkable on Lake SUI
perior this year; it was the highest on
record for 23 years. In the Duluth-Su-
perior harbor the water IN September
this year, according to the records in
Maj. Clinton b. Sears office, which are
looked after by Mr.. Darling, averaged
l09 inches higher than during the same
month last year. The water during the
month averaged 1.94 feet above low
water datum, and one day, Sept 6, all
records for the office were broken when
the water attained stage of 2.73 feet
above low water datum. The highest
previous record was Is feet above low
water datum.
There is common belief that the
high water in Lake Superior is an as
surance Of corresponding improvement
in the Sault river, which is the outlet OF
the big inland sea, but Mr.. Darling says
that this does not necessarily follow.
He says that the stage of water in the
Sault depends more on the stage of
water on Lake Huron. While there
has been exceptionally high water on
Lake Superior this year, and it is now
at the flood, there has been relatively
low water on all of the other lakes in
the system. There has been fair stage
but owing TO a rather limited rainfall as
compared with the Lake Superior bas-
in, they have not shown corresponding
improvement. The high stage of water
on Lake Superior has contributed more
than it has been given credit for in
making it possible to move several mill
lion tons more freight to date than last
season at this time. in spite of late OPP
ening and an unusual number of delays

CONVICT ISLAND,
Where the Worst Type Of Criminals
Have a Chance for Reform.

have u finance Tor REFORM
Since 1858 the Andamans. a group of
thickly wooded Islands toward the east
side of the Bay of Bengal. have been
used by the Indian government as
penal settlement fer life convicts.
There are about 1900 convicts in
the settlement at Port Blair. which Is
conducted as practical reformatory
for the reform Of the criminals. Every
convict knows that his treatment de-
ponds (after a certain preliminary pc
riod Of severe discipl!ne) entirely on
himself lie also knows that good be-
havior will of itself commute the life
sentence to one OF twenty years. A
large number OF the convicts are men
respted from death sentences. The
newly arrived convict is placed in the
cellular gaol where he is solitary alike
in his cell and during his daily walk
around the ring for exercise At the
end of six months he is transferred for
a year and half to an associated gaol.
where he labors in a gang during the
day and sleeps in a separate cubicle at
night. For the next three years he is
locked up in barracks at night with
prisoners OF the same class and kept
hard at work all day. After this pc
Rod the severity is eased down, the
tasks are not SO irkSome and his ca
pacity is studied in the employment
given to him and he begins to earn
small allowance, which he can either
spend on little luxuries or put into the
savings bank. At the end of ten years
he is eligible for tickle. of leave, with
liberty to earn his living within the
island settlement in his own way. He
can live in his own house, farm little
land and move about within cOnsid-
cradle area unmatched. He can send
for wife and children, or, If a bache-
lor. marry a convict woman. At the
end of twenty years. if of good be-
havior, he obtains an absolute release,
with free conveyance to India to make
a fresh start as a free man.

Maud Reynolds Barkey passed away,
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and

she has borne all suffering with pa
tience and fortitude.

Movement to Erect a Statue Failed.

The movement to erect a statue in
memory of Cromwell at Huntingdon,
England, where he was born, has ig
ANONYMOUSLY failed. The mayor Of the
borough, Lord Sandwich. recently in
formed the town council that Of the
subscriptions which had been received
only two reached two figures. These
were the subscription of Lord RiDon
and himself. Independently OF these
two sums, the total was under fifty
pounds. Only five dollars had been
raised in America. There was not one
subscriber in the borough Of Hunting
don. and only two or three from the
county About twenty or thirty small
sums had been received in England and
America, and, as the local committee
had done all it could, it was now time,
after four months, to close the matter.
He suggested that the best thing would
be to return the money to the subscrih-
ers, and this course was decided upon.
