FoGG, the greatest wind machine on the
American continent, spoke at South Abing-
ton, Mass, Monday night, and judging from
the report of his haraDgue in the Boston
Globe, it was the greatest effort of bis life.
No wonder the wind howled along the coast
and in the mountains of New England.
With Fogg's machine working at such tre-
mendous rate the only wonder is that our
houses still have roofs on them and our ships
are not all at the bottom. Fogg appeared
as laboring man, and appealed to his fell
low laborers to remember that while John
D. Long is patting ''us'' ON the back $4,000
men have been disfranchised in Massachu-
sets by the men whose tool Long is. Maine,
he said, had a returning board (he doubtless
said retiring" board, but the friendly re-
porter corrected it). A mighty horde of
federal office holders, according to the windy
statesman, were persuading, threatening,
bribing and intimidating voters in the inter-
est of secession, Long and ring rule Own
ers of funded wealth were stigmatized as

Planets in November.

Mars is evening star after the 18th, and
holds the place Of honor among the members
of the solar family throughout the month. A
great event takes place on his records. His
opposition occurs ON the 18th, and never was
this celestial phenomenon anticipated with
such eager interest, for the opposition OF 1877
was the epoch of one of the greatest astronomi-
cal discoveries of the present century. Two
tiny satellites were found tracking their rapid
course within the glare of light surrounding
this ruddy planet, and who knows if closer OBJ
servation may not veal as many more, and
some new discoverer shares the honor with
Prof HALL The Martian moons, though late
in the field, are now members of the solar sys-
tenn in full standing. They are named from
the horses that drew the chariot of Mars, per-
sonfed by Homer in the Iliad as his sons or
attendants. The name of the outer satellite
is Deimos 1t revolves around the primary in
about thirty hours at a distance of fourteen
thousand and five hundred miles from the
centre of the planet; its diameter is very
small, probably between six and fourteen
miles, and it is about the thirteenth magni-
tude The inner satellite is known as Phobos;
it is the brighter and larger Of the two, being
about the twelfth magnitude, and mile or
two more in diameter than its brother moon.
1t performs its revolution in the surprisingly
short time of little more than seven hours
and half, at the distance of nearly six thous-
and miles from the planets centre. Thus the
Martian inhabitants have moon only four
thousand miles distant, making more than
three complete revolutions while the planet is
turning on its axis, rising in the west and set
ting in the east and meeting and passing the
slower moving outer moon. The Marian as
tronomers must have plenty of occupation in
watching the erratic movements of their near
est celestial neighbors, but We would not
change our stately and dignihed satellite for
dozen Just like them! Mars is not as near to
us at the present opposition as he was in 1871,
but as he is in northern declinatiop be will Do
more favorably situated for observation Pro.

SAYS the Bangor Wing: No man in the
State of Maine to-day, of whatever party,
has the slightest doubt that the Republicans
at the last election carried a decided majori
ty of both branches of the Legislature. Any
failure on the part of the Governor and
Cou, Gil to honestly and lawfully certify the
results of that election, will Immediately re-
suit in the invocation of the mandate of the
Supreme Court, commanding the certifying
board to perform their duty in accordance
with the facts. While conceding that Pills
bury & Co., are fully capable of projecting
such villainy and that the Portland Argus is
ready to wink at and encourage it, we are
not ready to believe that Governor Garcelon
will lend himself to such scoundrelsm as
would make his name a kissing and by
word for all time to come. In any event,
we can assure Pillsbury, the Argus and all
the rest, that the Republicans of Maine hav-
ing elected majority of both branches of
the S ate Legislature, intend to lawfully
control the organization of that Legislature,
and to firmly exercise the rights of the ma
joritv in electing the Governor and other
officers of State.

DEMOCRATIC economy is well illustrated
in Missouri. Instead of employing conf
mission to revise the statutes the Legislature
in order to lengthen the session and extend
the IS per day which the members are paid
undertook to do the work itself. The result
is that the statutes have gone into effect be-
fore the revision is completed and the courts
are in an uncomfortable fix.

DURING the year ending November 1, the
national bank circulation increased SIS, ,000,-
600, one half of which was in the last two
months. The increased demand was almost
entirely from the East. From January l,
1874 to January 1, 1878, the bank circula-
ton decreased $50, 100000, then it was sta
tionary for awhile, now it is rising again on
account of the demand for money.

says Mr.. Brown, 'is great leader-the

would pale into insignificance." Mr.. Brown

THE Argus advises Republicans if it turns
out that they are suspended from the gallows
which they erected for their opponents mot
to blubber as old Mordecai did in Scripture
times' We should like to know where the
Argus gets its authority for the statement
that "old Mordecai" blubbered. We can
see no reason why ''old Mordecai'' should
have blubbered. The Argus would seem to
intimate that sold Mordecai' was gallows
manufacturer and that he blubbered because
he was hanged on the very gallows he had
built for somebody else. The Scarboro BIZ
BILE and the King James version seem to dis
agree very widely, for the latter leaves Nor
decai "great among the Jews and accepted
of the multitude cf his brethren" We be-
gin to suspect that the Sunday School teach

was that he mixed the Scriptures up.

THE decrease in the National debt during
the month of October reached the enormous
sum of $10,352, ,000-a figure which has only
been once equalled since 1872. In March
1877, the decrease amounted to over S14 ,0O0,-
900, but in this sum was included nearly ten
million dollars derived from the balance of
the Geneva award. The present large re-
duction arises from the expenditures being
lessened on the one hand and the revenues
increased ON the other. Customs receipts
for October showed an increase of four mil
lion dollars as compared with the same
month last year, while the disbursements
were less than in last September by six mil
lions. In all respects the debt statement is
most gratifying and promising.
