Boston Globe: 1t is not easy to estimate
with any degree of certainty what the effect
of Boulanger.s extraordinary victory will be.
The one thing certain is that the present
sonal make up, but in its form. II the re-
public is to stand at all, as every sincere
friend of freedom the world over hopes it
may, IT can only exist after a thorough re-
organization.
New York Herald General Boulanger
has larger opportunity than has come to
any Frenchman since Louis Napoleon, inyok-
ing the prestige of his name, was returned
from so many departments in 1913.
With opportunities come duties. AS he ac-
cepts them it will be well or ill for France,
well or ill for his own fame.
St Louis Globe Democrat: It must be
conceded that the republic is at this moment
confronted with greater peril than any
which has presented itself hitherto in the
eighteen years Of its existence.
Washington Critic:
Boulanger is dandy,
A man au fait i'll fame;
Although they try to down him,
He gets there, tout lie meme.
Boulanger is baker,
Who, if he gets q chance,
Will do all in his power
To cook the goose of France.
Philadelphia North American A nation
without policy is like man without a pur-
pose. That is the situation in France to-day.

GAME MUST BE PROTECTED.
A Law Required to Punish Foreign
Hunters and Shippers

If the Omaha Gun club desires to do
some effective work, it should proceed, with
out further delay, to formulate bill TO be
presented to the legislature for the protec-
tion and preservation of water fowl and
prairie chicken. Reliable statistics, gath
cred after no little trouble by the sporting
editor of THE BEE, show that during the
past close season, from July 4 to September
TO- over forty-five thousand dozen prairie
chickens were shipped by market hunters
sent into this state from Illinois, Indiana and
iowa to shoot for tho eastern markets
They were principally slaughtered in the
northern tier of counties, and shipped in re-
frigerator cars furnished by commiss ion
merchants and companies who prosecute a
large business in this unlawful line. These
cars are supplied by these companies
and located at isolated points
on the frontier, anc the hunters
are employed at u monthly salary. AT the
ratio above stated prairie chickens will be
next 10 extinct in this state within two or
three years. This is fragrant outrage, and
one committed in open defiance of the present
game laws, which, II must be acknowledged
are wofully incomplete. What has been re-
vealed thus far, however, should be sufficient
argument 10 convince any legitimate sports
man that there is need of additional legisla-
tion To govern this matter.
Now us To water fowl.
II has been frequently and forcibly brought
70 the writer's notice by thoroughly posted
and responsible parties, men thoroughly
familiar with the subject matter in hand,
that ducks have been known to have been
driven OFF their nests in the sloughs and
marshes adjacent 10 Omaha, and mercilessly
slaughtered for the market. Even as late as
the 10Th Of June, when they were setting
upon their eggs, have they thus been mo-
Tested. IL is n well known fact that geese
and ducks are decreasing with every passing
year, and at an Incredible rate at that, de-
spite the excessive fecundity of these BIRDS
ana that but few more years will be required
70 compass their absolute determination.
Some legislation is surely necessary to OBJ
viate such deplorable result, and this can
only be done by protecting their birds dur
ing the season Of Lidifcation--the laying and
Matching season. A well informed local au-
thority suggests that the best law would be
close season from May TO September TO-
This would give the birds time to obtain
strength Gnd growth TO protect themselves.
Again, whore one duck is noH bred on the
waters contiguous to this territory, thou

protection. AT present. they are hunted and

WASHINGTON, Feb, 9.-The senate bill to
establish a United States court in Indian
Territory was taken up in the senate, in con-
junction with the house bill to change the
eastern and northern judicial districts of
Texas, and Mr.. Vest proceeded TO state the
purpose OF the bills, which are in some re.
CARDS identical. He moved that the report
from the judiciary committee be substituted
for the house bill.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas offered another

tute offered by MIR Vest agreed to, and the

THE BLACK DEATH,
Rayages of the Pestilence In Europe Du
ing the Fourteenth Century.

Ravages of the Psstilence In Europe Dur
ing the Fourteenth Century.
This disease is believed to have
originated in China. and took its name
from the black spots which usually
appear on the person OF the sufferer.
These spots were symptomatic Of
putrid decomposition. and their ap-
pearance was nearly always a fatal
sign. Beginning with inHammatory
bOils and tumors, the black death pro-
duced stupor, mental affections and
palsy Of the tongue. the last generally
becoming black. rs il sufused with
blood. The characteristics OF the
disease were burning. unslakable
thirst. pains in the chest, splitting Of
blood and fetid breath. This pesti-
lence attacked Europe in a mild form
in l342 and may be traced as moving
in the wake OF the numerous caravan
routes from the East. Spreading from
the north coast Of the Black sea TO
COnstantinople. and thence TO Italy, II
radiated from there by many routes
over the whole OF Europe. Where
ever it appeared it committed such
fearful ravages as materially TO ch eek
the increase Of population; in China
the deaths from this disease were esti-
mated at 49, 600, 900. and the rest OF the
East lost nearly 24.OOO.OOO. while a
moderate calculation puts the loss in
Europe at 2j 100000. London and
Venice lost 100000 inhabitants each;
and Paris, Florence and Norwich half
that number apiece. II caused so
serious a decrease Of population in this
country for a time as to create a great
dearth OF workmen and laborers; and
in consequence a great rise in wages.
Prof. Thorold Rogers. who has in
vestigated the economic bearings Of
this disease very thoroughly, states
that the working classes were at no
