Paste This in Your Hat.

A territorial convention may ac- complish much good for Alaska, and it may be another "bloomin farce." It all depends on the peo- ple.-Douglas News.
 Now let the RECORD MINER make this guess: That there will not be a dozen men in that convention that are doing anything to devel- op the great latspt resources of Alaska who will favor territrrial government. Those who will favor it are political lawyers, clerks, gov esnment officials looking for an elective office, and those who have no possible chance of getting an appointment under the present ad- ministration. Now cut this out and paste this in your hat, and when the covention is over read it.-Record- Miner.
 The above is published 30 that the readers of the PROsPEcTOR may have a memo. in their hats.

A Last Word.

EDITOR PRosPEcToR.-I had con- eluded to write no more in the dis cussion with the NEWS, but as the editorial in the last issue accuses me wrongfully, 1 wish to say a word.
 1 am taxed with indulging in personalities. 1 deny the charge. I have avoided all such all through. In my last letter my line of argu- ment forced me to mention the speech made and the speaker at the senatorial banquet in favor of territorial government. 1 refrained from using any other appellation than that so courteously conferred by the toastmaster; 1 did it in all kindness.
 That gentleman must understand thAt by assuming the position oi aavecste of . public cause he be- comes public parsonage to that extent. He is subject to public comment and criticism, and so are all his acts relating thereto. 1 did not criticize his acts or speech merely referred to the whole mat ter, which was quite sufficient for ny purpose. No personality was intended and none made. Person. slities are not argument.
 ! do not think the NEWS has treated me with as much cOnsidera-
 admire the courage and enthsi- asm of the young man to grapple with the subject, but think he was weak in wisdom to do so. It was it is-a hard task. He certainly deserves credit for doing as we'll as ne old. l never nave sought to detract from that credit. It seems that he is disinclined to appreciate a kindness.
 The only point of real argument of the NEWS that 1 have not replied to is that of the alleged income, The management of my side of the argument did not mako reply ne- cessary. However, if it should be- come necessary in the future, l can assure the NEWS that an analyza- tien of those figures will "shatter their idol"
 ! mast emphatically reaffirm all my previous statements.

Next month Q new railroad in Seward Peninsula will be added to the utilities of Alaska. It is but a small thing by way of length, but 1t marks another effort to afford those facilities for transport which are to-day the crying need of the mining country of the North.
 The little road will minister to the necessities of the Cape Nome region, starting at the mouth of the Solomon River and terminat- ing, for the present, at Council City, 51 miles inland.
 Alaskan railroads are not num- erous, but those which exist have proved as benefcent as they are profitable. Supplies which went over the White Pass at a cost of BOG. t" $l per pound, delivered, are now borne from Seattle to Dawson per tine White Pass and Yukon Railroad for 4ic. per pound.
 A little road. known as the 3Wild Goose Railroad" from Nome to Anvil Creek, only 5 miles in- land, was paid for nine times over in the course of last season.
 Therefore the prospects for Alaskan railroads are promising from both points of view, that of the enterprsing men who con- struct them and that of the regions whose development they stimulate

Licutenant-Gencral Miles.

The letter Gen. MILES has written to
the Army and Nary Register, in defence
of himself against criticisms on his Phil
ippines report made by that paper, is
an extraordinary document. 1t shows,
unmistakably, an unbalanced Judgment
and suggests the possibility of a loss Of
mental balance generally.
In the first place, 1t is unbecoming and
unmilitary for the Lieutenant-(ieneral at
the head OF the army to choose such
method of defending himself. If his re-
port on the military situation in the Phil
ippines needs any further defence than is
furnished by the evidence it itself con-
tains there in no successf ii defence of it
possible. II it's nsinuations and accusa-
tions of conduct disgraceful to American
officers are not justified by specific proof,
which can be made the basis Of specific
charges against specific officers in strictly
military trials. the making Of them con-
stitutes grave military offence in Gen.
MILES for which he deserves to be
brought to severe account. For the
General commanding the army to enter
lIlpO newspaper toEeioNOtos az O HiCeboo
of self-defence is unseemly and evil in
example, and also futile.
His letter to the Washington military
paper, moreover. simply repeats and ag-
eravates his original offence. His report
on the Philippines did not pretend to give
more than hearsay evidence picked up
in his tour through the islands. 1t cast
slur on the army of which he is the
ranking officer without presenting any
evidence on which an inquiry could be
ordered in just and proper military
| fashion.
The only charitable inference possible
is that Gen. MILES is in mental condition
which makes it fortunate for the honor Of
the American Army and the American
people that the period Of his active ser
vice as Lieutenant General is 80 near its
close. He will go on the retired list on
the sth Of August.

Remarks BY One OF Them on the Police
Commissioners Attack.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: You have
In terse and concise language stated the true
situation between the parties interested in the
enforcement and non-enforcement OF the
criminal law In the city Of New York which
devolves. first, upon the Police Department:
second, the City Magistrates as examining
and committing officera; third. the Justices
Of Special Sessions: fourth. the Justices OF
General Sessions fifth. the Criminal Branch
OF the Supreme Court in this city
Prisoners are brought before the MaEis-
trates on alleged charges, and 1t is expected
that the parties arrested must be held by the
Magistr ates whether there is legal evidence
or not 10 sustain the charge. and that feeling
exists in the minds OF not only the parties
cnMsing and making the arrest but also OF
citizens II the Ma agistrates max a mistake
In discharsins parties. the remedy Ia open to
the Grand Jury In all felony cases az we'll as
nliedemeanors.
There are many circumstances brought out
In the examination before the Magistrates that
the public generally know nothing about. nor
do those who criticise the MAGISTRATES. Special
Sessions nd Supreme Court justices know the
evidence adduced before the Justices; yet
the parties who are Interested in the proSecu-
ton find fault with the Justices II they do not
hold and convict men and women according
10 their, standpoint, ard not from the point Of
view Of the Justices or Magistrates who have
ali the evidence before them to determine
what 10 best 10 be done. JOSEPH Pool.
