HERE'S A MEASURE THAT SHOULD
BE KILLED INsTANTER.

Several very pernicious measures
have been Introduced in botl branches
Of the Sixth assembly. Among them
is diabolical bill offered by John
Campbell. II Is house bill No. 81. and
it provides for the repeal CT sections
three. ten, eleven and fifteen. OF chap
ter ! 5. game laws Of 1899.
This bill should be given good
healthy lick between the eyes and
killed forever Moreover. the loyal peo-
pie OF Oklahoma who believe in pro-
tecting home interests and territorial
game, should pass a resolution Of con.
demnation TO the man VINO fathers
such a villainous measure.
AS the law now stands quail and
other game cannot be shipped out Of
the territory in carload lots duing the
game season. Campbells measure
repeals this law. The annuIment of
section three would prevent the peo-
rle OF the territory from shooting
quail for their own use; while the re-
peal of section ten gives the ice com
panies and railroads the privilege of
packing and shipping out quail by the
carloads to supply city markets. The
bill is monstrous. Oklahoma should
have the use Of her own products The
bill benefits ice packers, railroads aud
foreign markets. and prevents okla
homans from eating their own game.

NOTABLE PERSONAL POLITICS.
Following the general election, in
which national policies for four years
have been decided, the personal feat
pres developing thereafter come next
an Importance, shedding some curious
sidelights upon the preceding cam
raign
by far the most notable personal
campaign Of the entire period IS that
which has ended IN tie reelection Of
Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay as United
States senator from Pennsylvania.
The Internal war upon Mr.. Quay had
It's origin In the ambition Of former
Postmaster General wanamaker TO
force himself into continued public
life. Charges Of personal and official
corruption were freely launched at the
senator ana through combinations his
election by the last Legislature was de.
fcated Entering into a second cam
paign, under a shower Of vile charges.
Mr.. Quay has triumphed and viii
henceforth be the ruling force in Penn
sylvania.
While II must be confessed that Mr..
Quay is practical politician. with
much that the term implies, those who
pressed the charges against him were
not themselves free from blame. In
She local contests for members OF the
Legislature ii was always in evidence
that there we're two campaign funds.
80 that the real issue was the survival
or the fittest. and in Mr. Quay that
result has been attained Mr. Quay
is man of wide sympathies. broad
enough to take in the whole country.
and patriotic enough to be just to
every section His freedom from Fhar-
isceism is not the least OF his virtues.
The elevation Of Mr.. Carmack, OF
Tennessee, and Mr.. Patterson, of Col
orado. to the United States senate,
adds two strong men to the Hemocratic
side Of the chamber. They will be
valuable as campaign workers. At the
same tine, they have the trained read
mess Of journalistic career to make
easy the intricacies which tie the
tongues Of other men until they are
old ia service. Hon. w. A. Clark re-
turns from Montana with an uncloud-
ed title. and will be sure Of a promI-
rent place in the Democratic councils
Ct the future. Cullom, OF Illinois. is
reelected and Delaware's double tan
sic Is unsolved
Looking out over the states, several
names stand out in new relation. For
mer Congressman Dockery, as gov
ornor Of Missouri, will be in the field
for a future senatorship, in which he
will find an older competitor, former
Governor stone Mr.. Durbin displaces
Governor Mount. of Indiana, and Gov
cfnor stanley OF Kansas, succeeds
himself A young solon of an old
family reappears in Illinois, where
Richard Yates, H.. becomes governor,
and has been engaged In resisting i'm
rortunities to enter the senatorial race.
The Civil war perod has given Illinois
the advantage In historic families held
after the revolution by Massachusetts
The Yateses, Grants. Logsns. and,
greatest OF all. the Lincolns. win con.
