1t is by no means settled yet that there will
not be a special session Of congress, although
there can be no doubt that the Democratic

tion one of the effects Of the new Fran
chise bill will be to improve the posi-

cause such revision of the game law as
will admit the principle that the game
belongs to the farmer and not to the
landlords. This will do away with a
sacred privilege OF the ruling class.
