'If a newspaper man knew how
many knocks he received behind his
back, he would adopt another calling" +"
remarked a citizen. The citizen is
mistaken. The newspaper man who
succeeds expects to be maligned by
every law-breaker, swindler and hypo-
crite, every lover of notoriety who is
ignored, and in fact by all who do not
agree with him on public or private
questions. The newspaper man who
expects to go through life without
being misrepresented should make ar
rangements to die young.

Two Moons in August

There will be two full moons in
August. One occurred on the first
day and one will occur on the last.
Full moons occur twice in the same
month only once in about three years,
and there will not be two full moons
IN one month again till the year of
nineteen hundred and one. The time
which elapses between the two con-
secutive full moons or new moons is
termed a synodical month, and con-
slsts of 2z days, IL hours, "A minutes
and 8 seconds. Consequently all the
phases proper to the moon must
occur during that interval. If, there
fore, new moon occurs on the first
of month, and the month has more
than 2o days an6 12 hours, the same
phase OF the moon may occur again.
The same rule holds good for the full
moon. The harvest moon is the
moon which is nearest the autumnal
equinox, and will be this year the full
moon occurring on September 90.

There are many people who suppose
that the principal competition of our
Winemakers is With French or other
foreign wines. Nothing could be fur
Their from the truth. The consumption
of foreign wines in this country is not
worth considering. The competition
which our Wines meet is from beer and
fake wines. our importations of wine
have never been large and have been
steadily decreasing for some years In
1891 we find our total imports of still
wines were 3.5S4 154 gallons and our ex-
ports 1881 243 gallons, making our net
importation 2,202 81 gallons. When We
consider that the California vintage of
1897 was over 30.000,000 gallons of sweet
and dry wines. we at once see that the
foreign competition is of little account,
and that the most of the so called
French wine consumed in this country
must be either California or bogus
wine sold under French labels.

The Oregon Vacancy in the Senate.

Much interest is centered at the pres
United States Senate. This matter is
now before that body for debate and
final vote. and ii differs from any othe:

tons. II. w. Corbett of Portland. Ore
Gon, holds his credentials as senator
from that state by virtue of an APP
pontmcnt by the governor of Oregon
When the term of Senator Mitchell ex-

elected by the Legislature. The failure
of the Legislature to elect was complete
because that body was never organized,

The Populsts and Democrats as usual
declined to enter into any agreement
to organize and at the expiration of
the statutory life of the Legislature the
members returned to their homes. hay
ing done nothing at all except to scold
one another. The Republicans had a
majority on a joint ballot and would
have elected Mr.. Corhctt. but the ac-
ton of their opponents left them help
less. When the Legislature failed 20
act the governor appointed Mr.. Corbett
to succeed MIR. Mitchell.
The position taken by the governor
is that the vacancy in the Senate

lature had interviewed il was his right
and duty to appoint Il senator to serve
until the Legislature should meet NJ

state a senator by exercising his pow

matter.
