The MODEL COUNTY.-It must be cOnced-
ed that Androscoggin is the banner temper
ance County of the State. This fact is largely
due to the unequivocal support that its most
prominent public men have given to prohibi-
tory legislation. Recently Michigan cores
pondent of the Lewiston Journal asked sew
eral questions concerning the operation of the
liquor law in Maine, adding that the citizens
of Michigan were discussing the question of
prohibition, and that it was alleged by some
that the law is imperative in this State. In
reply the Journal makes the following strik-
ing Statements statement that can probably
be made concerning no other county of like
size in the United States:
We will give our Chicago correspondent the
facts in this city and county, in a very brief
compass. We have no knowledge of the ex-

the settled policy of the State. These liquors
have, of course, been sold to greater or less

The politics of Maine continue to be rather
mixed and mysterious; but one present fea-

corded. The veteran of American letters,
Mr. John Neal, who is we dare not say how

archs, has called meeting with a view to Or
ganizing Woman Suffrage Party. Whether
this is the Third, Fourth or Sixteenth Party

Y. Tribune.
Whatever Mr.. Meals age may be, or what
ever his faults or folies, his faculties have not
become impaired, like those of the Tribune, SO
as to destroy his generous enthusiasm for the
right and his zeal for reform and progress. In
this respect he is as young as ever, while the
Tribune, paper that has educated thousands
upon thousands of young Americans to be pa.
triots and to hate oppression-that in years
past ,oas genuine tribune of the people, in
tensely democratic, and fearless in the advoca
cy of every righteous cause-has become
stumbling in the pathway of every re-
form, and an obstacle to all progress. Its age
is disclosed in its strong conservative and re.
dictionary tendencies, and its inability to do
much more effective work outside of its chos-
en- sphere as teacher of system of politi-
cal economy that will in few years be as OBJ
solete as the mythology of the Copts.
