The Progressives seem to have the
idea that they are made martyrs of.
Here they are claiming that all the
daily papers, with the exception OF
the shining Lewiston Journal, refused
to print Progressive news. There
wasn't a paper in the State that gave
more Progressive news than the Port
land Press. But 1t Is more fetching
TO pose as martyrs.

WASHING with Stone.

Numerous inquiries have been made
at the commercial intelligence depart
ment of the board of trade, In Basing-
hall street, London, E. c.. respecting
the exhibit of soapstone which arrived
few days ago from the British vice
consul at the Russian town of Kertch, In
the Crimea. The stone, which Is dug
out of the ground at a place called
Batchi-Sarai, and is known locally as
"kheel." is used for all kinds of wash

Charles S. Mellen certainly has
grounds on which to wage a criticism
of the way newspapers have used him.
He relates the story of how one news
paper man asked him to pose for his
paper. He did SO. The newspaper
man asked him to smile. He condos
cended to do that When the news
paper was printed Mr.. Mellen had the
pleasure of reading under his picture:
"Mellen Giving New England the
Laugh" That newspaper fellow de-
serves a good licking. He doesn
fairly represent the profession.

Joshakawa nodded tboughtfully

There was little silence, both vet
