one approaching that size is threatening
the position the United States has main

lated to cxasperatc anyone's sense OF fair
play to say nothing of the gravity of the
questions involved. Messrs. Cleveland
and Gresham have no occasion for adopt

Spain. But they have occasion to carefully
watch the development of events in Cen
tral and South America, moro especially
in the vicinity of the proposed Nicaraguan
canal.

MARCH MAGAZINES.
The Cosmopolitan

for March is an admirable number in
every respect. The opening, article is a
readable description Of "Mont-Saint-
Michel by J. Howe Adams. 1t is ac-
companied by numerous beautiful illus
trations which add much to the interest
of the article. The illustrations which
accompany the interesting article on the
Beautiful Models of Paris are gems OF
art and contribute much to the fine ap-
pearance of the magazine. Ernest Daudet
contributes timely article entitled A
President of France in which IA very
concise account of the life of President
Carnot is given. A number of portraits
of President Carnot at different periods
are given, also pictures Of his wife, home,
etc. Herbert p. Whitmarsh contributes
an exciting article under the caption
Pearl Diving and it's Perils." Another
notable article in this issue is contributed
by J. A. Zahm on the Observatory OF

SPOTS AND STAINS.
Especially Those That Deface Our Winter
Garments of Wool and Silk.

Especially Those That Deface Our Winter
Garments of Wool and Silk.
One of the best preparations for taking
)ut greasy stains is made by mixture OF
spint of deodorized benzine, one-half diam
each of chloroform and alcohol and lit
tic good cologne Apply to coat collars
and black garments with piece OF silk.
In washing solid black goods use table
spoonful in each gallon of water. 1t will
lot injure the most delicate silk fabrics.
For spots on woolen goods one rule
must be remembered Alkalies are re-
moved by diluted acids, like citric acid,
while discolorations caused by acids re-
1uire their opposities, such as diluted spir-
It's of hartshorn. Too great care regarding
the strength of all solutions and the man
ner in which they are applied cannot be
insisted upon.
Grease can often be removed by repeat
I'd applications Of blotting paper and
French chalk to the wrong side Of woolen
goods. Grease upon carpeting will require
nalf cupful of fuller's earth and the
same amount of magnesia, dissolved in a
pint of boiling water. Apply hot and
brush off when dry. Small spots can be
obliterated by means of hot iron and
blotting paper. Fresh Ink stains can do
washed from carpets as from other goods
by sweet milk. When dried, the carpet
must be wet, then rubbed with salts OF
lemon and washed Immediately afterward.
Silk goods, in the main, receive the
same cautious treatment as that given to
woolens. Fats may be treated with BEN
zine, ether and soap in very weak solu-
ton. Turpentine should not be used upon
silk unless it be black silk. Acid and al
kali on all fabrics yield to the general
rules already given. A current OF water
falling from height upon the reversed
side of the spot will help erase it. Good
Housekeeping, which gives the foregoing
directions, calls attention also to the fact
that whatever applications are made care
must be exercised in regard to leaving an
outline of the stain, which must be rubbed
with soft cloth while drying.

Representative Teamoh, representing the
Beacon Hill ward Of Boston in the leglsla-
ture, is colored man and also a member
of the committee on mercantile affairs
When the committee went south on its
tour of investigation Mr.. Teamoh went
with the others, but from the time he
reached Washington until his departure
from the south he was denied admittance
to hotels and restaurants. The colored
man meekly submitted to this treatment
and thereby he made q mistake. He was
a representative of his state on official
business and should have insisted on the
treatment his position entitled him to re-
ceive. In this his fellow members should
have sustained him. The south is lacking
in courtesy as she is in capital.

Secretary Gresham's Hawaiian and

gated by his bitter hatred of FIX President
Harrison. In cndeavoring to discredit
his old and successful political rival,
however, he over reached himself. The
American people have ever since held him
In the profoundest contempt. President
Cleveland who has lent himself most
willingly to Mr.. Gresham's schemes, is
not popular chief executive; but he has
at least the credit Of some little degree of
consistency in his political career. Even
this cannot DO said of the secretary of
state He is sore head, a political quack,
defeated Office seeker, soured and dis
appointed man, endcavoring rs n govern
nlent official and rs member OF party
whose political principles he denounced
until the last presidential campaign, to
"get even" with the men whom he con-
sidered chiefly responsible for his lack OF
success as seeker of presidential honors
in the Republican party. 1t is little
man, q viudictive man, narrow man
whom large responsibilities are unable to
rise above the level Of his personal ami
mosities. The country has had ample op-
portunity to take Mr. Gresham's meas.
urs. It knows his calibre. Try as he
may he can never again enjoy the con-

ple. The stigma of his Hawaiian and
Samoan policies will follow him to his

An Expected Verdict.

The verdict for tho Lewiston Journal in
the libel suit tried in this city, yesterday
was not in the nature of a surprise.
The evidence showed no ground for action.
There are few fair-minded men in the
State who would seriously entertain the
belief that the Lewiston Journal Or any
other responsible Maine newspaper would
wilfully and maliciously admit libellous
matter to its columns. The struggle with
pepers or this class is always for the
greatest possible accuracy in their news
service Newspapers, however, and es-
pecially dailies rushed together In few
hours and drawing their reports-largely
bv telegraph-from great variety oil
sources. are always liable to admit erron-
eous statements to their columns. This
is no fault of the editors OF the paper
who have acted in good faith, and who
when convinced of their error will,
II it were of such nature as to place any
individual or institution before the pub
lic In false light cheerfully make
honorable reparation by publishing
Abatement of facts. 1t is right, how
ever, that they should be given proper time
to investigate the matter and ascertain
that the questioned statement was, in
deed, erroneous. There are no news
pspers In the country that exercise a
greater degree of care in news reports,
especially those affecting personal charac-
ter, than those published in this State.
The people of Maine recognize this fact,
and the obvious injustice of permitting
an editor to be bled for the publication of
some news item, whose accuracy he had
no reason to doubt, and in the use of
which he could have no possible malice.
The people of the old Pine Tree State love
fair play. 1t is because of this fact that
successful libel suits in Maine
have been about as numerous as
hens teeth. We believe that any editor
who knowingly and willingly assails
mans character for the purpose of injur-
ing him with the public should be severely
dealt with, but so far as our own good
State is concerned such cases are exceed
ingly rare.
Our observation has been that libel
suits have been instigated either by de-
sire to punish paper for its political
views or with the hope of pccuninry gain.
Any decent man who knows that paper
published an erroneous statement in per-
feet good faith, believing it to be true,
will give the editor time and opportunity
to ascertain the facts and be satisfied with
q statement of them. Persons who refuse
such honorable rcparation and seek to
make such errors the source of personal
pecuniary gain are not apt to win much
sympathy from fair-minded men.
