THE COMING CONGRESS.

Congress will meet in couple Of
weeks and the business of piling up
bills will be resumed. There will be
81 Republican Senators, 81 Democratic
Senators and the Delaware vacancy.
The House will consist of 391 mem
bers, including the Oklahoma delega-
tion. OF the total 223 are Republi-
cans and 1853 Democrats. Thus the
Republican majoriJies will be 30 in
the Senate and 55 in the2 House.
There will be seventeen new men in
the Senate. Fifteen of those who
were present when the Senate opened
last year will be absent. PershapS the
one who will be missed the most will
be Spooner, who resigned to go into
business. Alger Of Michigan and Nor
gan and Pettus of Alabama died.
Eleven failed to secure reelection,
Allen of Delaware, Blackburn of Ken
lucky, Berry of Arkansas, Benson of
Kansas, Carmack of Tennessee, Clark
of Montana, Dubois of Idaho, Gearin
of Oregon, Willard ofsNebraska, Pat
terson Of Colorado and our own Dry
den.
The two new Senators from .Oklaho-
ma, Gore and Owen, will probably be
appointed by the Governor to fill the
vacancy during December. The Leg
islature will not elect them until the
following month. Gore is the blind
Senator, whose reputation as an ora
tor, as equal to or better than Bryan
is spread all over the West.
The new Senators are Stephenson Of
Wisconsin, Smith of Michigan, Rich
ardson of Delaware, Davis of Arkan-
sas, Paynter of Kentucky, Taylor, of
Tennessee, Dixon of Montana, Curtis
of Kansas. Borah of Idaho, Bourne of
Nebraska, Bankhead and Johnson of
Alabama. Guggenheim of Colorado
and Briggs of New Jersey.
Eight Democrats and seven Repub-
licans went out and six Democrats
and eleven Republicans came in, thus
the Democratic gain of two votes
from Oklahoma will be more than off
set by their losses elsewhere. The
Democrats have no leader to replace
Bailey of Texas and the minority will
be at disadvantage throughout the
session.
The New dorsey delegation in the
House will Consist OF Loudenslager
Gardner, Howell, Wood, Fowler and
Parker, Republicans, and Hughes,
Pratt, Leake and Hamill, Democrats.
Pratt, Leake and Hamill, are new
members. Hughes has already served
a term. Pratt and Leake are mem
bers by Republican dissensions. Ham
ill was elected in naturally strong
Democratic district. The old Repub-
lican members will practically repre-
sent the State for the Democratic
members are new and belong to the
Congress will convene on monday,
December 2, but it will be the follow
ing week before it gets down to bust

SOMETIMES a man places himself in
the position where he has to be judged
either fool or knave. We have re-
ceived a copy of :. The ISSUE" the An
ti-Saloon League organ, edited by j..
Frank Burke, on the front page of
which, in large black type, is the fol-
lowing 1854 Republicans Repudiate
Buxton. Forts majority over Katzen-
bach in Morris county, 2182; Buttons
majority over LOCKER, 718 number re-
pudiating Buxton, 1464. Buxton's ter
rible rebuke by the Church forces. John
Franklin Fort carried Morris county
by majority, as near as we can get at
it at this writing, of 2,182 over Frank
Katzenbach. Mr.. Buxton carried Nor
ris county over Mr.. LOCKER by ma
jority of 718, Mr.. Buxton thereby rum
ming behind the head of his ticket by
l,464 votes" When Mr.. Burke wrote
this article he willfully attempted to
deceive his readers, or is grossly ignor
ant of the fact, which any schoolboy
knows, that a majority represents
twice the difference in the votes cast.
Mr.. Fort received total of 1907 votes
in Morris county, and Mr.. Buxton
$3.50, or just TOT less than Mr.. Fort.
Surrogate Young had 6,714 votes and
Mr.. Lyon 6,735, showing the average
vote of the ticket to be 6,724 (Mr. Fort
running ahead because many Demo
Gratis could notstand Mr.. Katzenbach's
evasion Of the license question:. Hence
it is clear that Mr. Buxton was but
494 behind his ticket, and about 100
of these lost votes are the Republicans
in Butler, who voted for Mr.. LOCKER
without regard to the anti-saloon is
sue. When he ran for freebooter still
more Republicans voted for HIM. If
the good people of the Anti-Saloon
League are satisfied with their agent
we have nothing to say.

PLANS to buy old Kearny home, in
Belleville avenue, at the north end of
Newark, by Nova Caesarea Chapter,
Daughters of the American Reyolu-

vile, of Paris, France, a descendant
of Gen. J. w. Kearny, and who owns the

consideration she had decided she
would not sell to The Daughters, but
if they desired she would rent the
mansion for $500 a year for five years,

expenses of putting it in good order
and pay the insurance and taxes. The

THE BISHOPS LAW.

1t ought to be distinctly understood
that the bishops law" is not local
option. 1t is the bishops law" pure
and simple the law now on the stat
ute book, the law passed to bring
about the enforcement of former ex-
else laws, to compel the removal of
screens, to abolish back rooms, to pre-
vent the selling of liquor on Sundays.
This has been Endorsed, upheld, con-
firmed and established by popular
vote, and over and above all other is
sues the bishops law has come out
grandly and unqualitiedly victorious.
The bishops law will now be en-
forced and will have a fair trial in this
State, for at least three years to come.

OKLAHOMA.

Oklahoma came into the Union Sat
urday as a Democratic State with {
populistic constitution. Nearly all O
| it lies south of the line drawn in the
Missouri compromise. Itcontains the
parallels Of latitude drawn through
Arkansas, and in its political bent il
is sort of composite of the State Of
the " Arkansaw Traveller" and. Of
Texas, which forms nearly all of its
southern and western boundary. 1t
has good Republican territory to the
north in Kansas, but its political com.
plexion has been largely determined
by its climite, It's southern neighbors
and the southern element in the popu,
lation. The Jim Crow is embodied
in its constitution ard the negroes
had to eat at the second table in the
inaugural barbecue.
Before Indian Territory was incor-
porated with Oklahoma, the Republi-
cans had carried the day in more than
one local election. The territorial
delegate, Mcclure, is a Republican,
and the territorial legislature has been
Republican on joint ballot. Yet the
constitution is Democratic, or rather
populiStic, and the State government
elected under it in September is Dem
ocratic by about 10000 votes. Thus
the national Democratic party is rein.
forced by State Democratic in the
auspices of its Inauguration and by
the logic of its position; but State
which the recent history of the other
border commonwealths- isSouri,
Kentucky, West Virginia and Mary
land-shows is likely to drift from it's
mooringS.
The forty-Sixth State in the Union
comes into the sisterhood full grown.
1t takes rank i'll the first half of
States, by virtue both of area and pop
ulation. Only nine other States ex-
coed it in territory. Not more than
twenty-five exceed it in the number
of inhabitants, and the chances are
that the next census will show it bet
ter than twentieth in population. Its
grea is 10000 miles and it's estimated
population 1,5Oo,O 900, Or about that of
Brooklyn. Although only opened to
white settlement in 1889 it has more
people than Nebraska. OF these about
1900 are Indians.
Oklahoma is likely to give a good
account of itself. 1t has very fertile
soil, suitable to the crops of both
North and South. 1t has oil fields
with capacity of 100000 barrels a
day, coal deposits producing 100000
tons a year, 5000 miles of railroad,
800, 600, 900 worth of domestic animals,
$4,000, 900 in bank deposits, a wheat
crop of 40,0O0,000 bushels, corn crop
of 72, 100000 bushels and taxable prop
erty amounting to $500, 000,0 00 Above
all this it has yirile population, en-
bodying the selective processes of the
latest American migration. 1t will be
quite able to take care Of itself.

THERE we're a good many surprising
features of the election returns, but
nothing more than the fact that in
the city of Chicago one hundred and
forty election districts shad voted
against renewal Of liquor licenses
within those precincts. The senti-

toxicants has made wonderful gains in
the south and west, and the great bat

the custom of serving refreshments on
their Wednesday afternoons at home.
This hospitality was so abused that
the hostesses of those seasons Were al
most forced to abandon 1t, for stran-
gers, to whom their houses are always
open on Wednesdays, made practice
at last of attending these at homes
simply in many cases for what they
could get to eat. Many hostess has
seen stray men and women make bee
line for the dining room. where a pref
ty table was spread for her guests,
without going through even the for
maI1ty of greeting her. Neither would
they stop on their way out to take

refreshed them.
