and council on Tuesday. At the begin
ming of the prison year, Dec l, 1900,
there were confined in the prison III

1901, there were built in the United
states and officially numbered by the
Bureau of Navigation, III rugged vessels
of 154,073 gross tons, compared with
56S rugged vessels of 179 229 gross tons
for the corresponding six months of
1900. Canal boats and rugged barges are
not included. The principal decline,
10, 1852 tons, is on the Atlantic seaboard
and is attributable to work on several
large ocean steamers which will be COM
pleted during the coming six months.

from Consul Monahan at Chemnitz I'M
der date of November 2, report on the
worlds shipbuilding of 1900. The total

mage of ZOOS, 968. England and her col
onies head the list of ship building coun-
tries at the close of 1900 with 698 ships.

and then follow Germany with co. France
with So and Italy with 81.
Major i. w. Roesser has sent his an

w Washington. The report is of especial
interest to the business of Portland, as
it deals extensively with the PROPOSE
ton to remove Witch Rock, now regard
cd as the greatest menace to vessels OF
large size entering and leaving Portland
harbor. Major Roessier reports the re-
suit of the survey of the rock made dur
ing the past fall and on its basis an esti.
mate of the cost of removal. These fig
ures show that it would cost half mil
lion dollars to remove the rock to a
depth of thirty-six feet at low water.
Notwithstanding the great cost, Major
Roessler recommends that the work be
done, provided it Is not found feasible to
mark the rock by the erection of light
house or in some other suitable manner.

There cannot be much question that
the kind of prohibition that has been in
vogue 10 the cities OF this State for the
most of the time during the past twenty
years Is entitled to be characteriz I'd ian
impudent fraud" In reality ii was NOT
prohibition at all, but sort Of irregular
license system. 1t had little tendency
to diminish the sale Of liquor, and what
1t principally accomplished was to make
the office of sheriff exceedingly remuner-
alive to the incumbent. We are trying
In Portland what may fairly be called
prohibition. That Is to say the sheriff
is making sincere attempt to shut up
the rumshops. Under his management
1t certainly Is not an "impudent fraud
though, of course, there is wide differ.
ence of opinion as to just the effect 1t is
having ON the consumption of liquor.
We suspect that the license system as it
Is carried on 10 many cities is quite as
much al "impudent fraud as the pre-
hibitory system as 1t has been carried on

Bishop Potter's Position.
ISkowhegan w. c. T. ~

"ProhbItjon 10 fraud and failure.
Education, elevation, transformation are
the notes which the church must learn
to strike" Bishop Potter, at Church
Club.
Prohibition does not propose to abol-
ish cakes and ale or to change the glow
of ginger; but looking at the effects OF
the grog shop on society, 1t declares
them to be more serious even than those
of gambling bells and brothels, and re-
fuses to give any Nuisanee-en enterprise
the sanction of law. Prohibition en-
forced, does for Society just what laws
against stealing and other crimes dot
does not prevent the operations OF crimi-
nails but 1t makes them mighty unpleas-
ant except when as in many American
cities the law is betrayed by Jackson's
spells, so that certain gangs of thieves
have the call as in New York and Chi
cago and certain combinations OF MUS
ance-Dealers have the call as il many
American cities, no matter what the
anti Nuisance laws may be.
The prohibitory law against gambling
bells and brothels in New York is as
much matter of police bsfter as is the
New York Sunday law against grog
shops, which ia a prohibitory law oper-
ating one day in the week. Bishop Pot
ter's plan will necessarily end in the
Monte Carlo plan as to gambling and in
the Partisan plan as to houses of ill-fame.
Bishop Potter now champions ope1
rum shops in New York City on Sun.
days as we'll MS the rest of the week.
He does not merely favor New York
City ballot on the question of whether
Prohibition shall operate on Sundays
he indicates that he would vote to give
the saloon chance to run on Sunday,
and thus give it legal right for Sunday
selling superior to the grocery trade.
The protection of the weak, the en-
forcement of law against those whom
experience shows to be engaged in Grim
inal enterprises, handicapping civilz l.
ton and the love of law for the weak
and erring-this is the Christian pro-
gram which Rainsford and Potter dis
credit. In so doing Bishop Potter finds
1t is as necessary to abuse John B.
Cough as DR.. Rainsford does to abuse
the women of the Christian Temperance
Union. Fanaticism is no more to be ad-
mred at the sdeboard than on the side
walk. Between the platform of aristo-
cratic piety and the platform of the
Hatchet, the wise man will choose the
sane middle ground-that enforced law
ia as important against those In defiance
as considerable fellowship is for safe
guarding the weak whom the defiant
exploit. -Le,Uiston Journal.

the impression seems to be, ac-
cerding to the mass meetings held

that these locks were to be aband

merely from the fact that com
