THERE can be no reasonable doubt of the
right of the Governor of Oregon to appoint a
United States senator to fill the vacancy which
will occur on the 4th of March because Of the
failure of the Legislature to elect. The pro-
visions of the federal Constitution are as fol-
lows:
eff vacancies happen, by resignation or
otherwise, during the recess of the Legislature
of any State, the executive thereof may make
temporary appointments until the next meet
ing of the Legislature. which shall then fill
such vacancies. l., sec. 3, cl 2.
mo State without it's consent shall be de-
prived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
Art. ""
The subject was brought up in the Senate
in 1879, in the case of Charles W. Bell, APP
pointed to succeed Senator Wadleigh, of New
Hampshire. Mr. Wadleigh's term expired
on the 4th Of March, and the Legislature of
the State did not meet until the following
June. The committee on privileges and cleo
tons reported that Mr.. Bell was not entitled
to seat A minority report in favor of seat
ing Bell was signed by Senators Hoar, Angus,
Cameron and Ingalls,. In this report occurs
the following paragraph:
'But it is said a vacancy which occurs at
certain time fixed by law is not vacancy
which happens that the Constitution meant
only to vest the appointing power in the
Executive in case of the vacancy occurring
by reason Of events which cannot be certainly
foreseen, and this is the strong point of those
who differ from us. On the contrary, we af-
firm that nothing is better settled in the con
struction of the Constitution and of the legis-
lation under it than that the words Vacancies
happening includes the case of Offices which
have a fixed term which has expired, and
which are vacant because no new appoint
ment has been made"
The Senate seated Bell by vote of IS to
to %. Among the yea votes were Bayard and
Edmunds.

A COMPLETE SUNDAY PAPER.

The SUNDAY JOURNAL was started on
the 24th of August last, and at once came
to the front as the Peoples Paper on ac-
count Of The excellence and variety Of it's con-
tents, the completeness of its Geographic re-
ports, and the high character pervading its
columns. The demand for the paper has been
80 steadily increasing that we have been COM
PEELED to enlarge its pages, and to make ar
rangements whereby it can hereafter be placed
in every town and city of the State and sur
rounding territory. This will, at once, double
its already handsome circulation, and add to
the value of it as an advertising medium.
The SUNDAY JOURNAL will not be a GEM
esery Of dead matter, nor repository for
stupid stereotype plates. Every line Of it
will be new, fresh, and largely original matter.
Heretofore nominally sold for Three Cents, it
has been, in reality, sold by all newsboys and
dealers for FIVE CENTS, which will be the
price horeafterin the NEW and ENLARGED form.

business like way if Mr.. so -and-sos check would

the affirmative and Ditson, expressing thanks
for the information, would disappear and soon
after return and ask as an additional favor, that
the check might be cashed, as it was after bank
hours, and the money was usually paid. Tho
checks were forged. Ditson was arrested yes

An important point in this connection is,

should be upon every such farm. Even
if there is no pond upon the farm, from
which to cut the ice, it will usually be
found cheaper to purchase it and draw
it home when those who cut for sale
are engaged in cutting it, than to buy
at retail during the summer. 1t does
not need large or expensive building.
A cheap wooden building, ten or twelve
feet square, will hold enough for two
or three families and, if properly
packed, ice can be kept in such build
ing AS well as in "A larger one. Some
keep ice by laying down rails and COW
ering with straw foot or more deep,
and packing the ice about ten feet
square upon it, filling all cracks be-
tween the cakes with snow or pound
ed ice, then burying it in straw few
feet thick, and covering it in such a
way as to- shed rain. While it wastes
more in this way than it does in we'll

in a few more loads of ice. Salt, hay,
shavings, or tan bark make a good
substitute for straw, it they can be OBJ
