The Wine Growers Congress at Paris.

With an annual product OF $4,000 900
gallons Of wholesome red and sparkling
white wines, the United States, especially
since the generous development OF the
viticultural interests of California, have
come to rank among the wine-producing
countries OF the world. II Is to BIO repre-
scented by delegates at the international
congress OF vine growers. to be held under
the patronage OF the French Government
at Paris next June.
The date OF the congress, which is to be
In session four days. has been selected so
as to enable the members OF the various
congresses which are to be held before or
after II to take part In Its deliberations.
The sessions will be held In the Congress
Building OF the Exposition. In addition to
the meetings OF the delegates there will be
visits to wine establishments and excur-
sions to such Of the chief vineyards OF
France as are within easy railroad distance
OF Paris, notably to those OF Champagne
and Burgundy.
Wine producers OF all countries have been
asked to communicate, before the close OF
March, 1900. their suggestions rs to repre-
sentation through delegates and four
American States, it Is believed, will send
representatives. These are California,
which remains securely at the head OF
wlne-producng States OF the country, and
for climatic and other reasons Is likely to
remain 80; Missouri and Ohio, both OF
which produce light wines to considerable
amount, and New York, which by the
Federal census OF $50 stood second among
the States in vitcultural industries, with
an average product OF 100, 900, 900 pounds
Of grapes and q yearly wine product OF
$500, 900 gallons, chiefly from the Vine
yards OF the counties Of the western and
southern tiers.
One thing that makes probable the accept
ance by American delegates Of the invita-
ton TO participate in the Paris Congress
during period when visit to that city
will appear attractive to many persons not
delegates, Is the fact that the recent and
still extending expansion Of American COM
mercial interests in other countries opens
profitable and promising market for Amer
lean wines in the former possessions OF
| Spain. Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines obtained most OF their wine from
that country.

rights and assassination OF democratic In
situations, we're supposed to be peculiarly
attractive to 1.-THE German vote" Yet
Iowa gave Republican majority 80 big as
to daze the Democrats. The Americans Of
German origin declined to be stampeded
as IL they were drove OF cattle.
1t Is about time for the eminent citizens
who make practice OF giving orders to the
German vote" to understand that they
are wasting their pains. The great mass
Of voters OF German descent are simply
Americans. Some Of them vote as Repub-
Leans and some as Democrats. but mighty
few OF them as Germans" In Ohio and
Iowa they have not been frightened by
expansion but we venture to say that they
have been disgusted by arguments adj
dressed to them as foreigners.
