NoT NATURALLY pkMooKATIc.

One of the notions with which the hopeful Democrats of this region have deluded and consoled themselves in trying hours is the notion that New Haven is naturally Democratic town. They have in the past been forced to admit that for a natural Democratic town New Haven has behaved very unnaturally. And now she has disap- pointed and confused them again. What can they say now? Perhaps they would do well to initiate the si- lent Man of Esopus when he was that, and, unlike him, make the imitation ir- revocable. New Haven is not only not a natural Democratic town, but there isn't Democrat in it who feels natur- al Pity the sorrows of the New Ha- ven Democrats and of all other Demo erats except possibly Bryan.

THE DkArM oE a KING.

The King of Drunkards is dead. He lived and reigned in Paris. and he was 61 years old when he died. He was elected king few months ago at a
 conclave of fellow tipplers. A ragpick- CT by trade, he made snug little in come, 99 per cent. of which he spent on drink. He lived in d hut, in which fittings and furniture were reduced to minimum. All expenditure on any thing but drink was in his opinion wanton extravaganza. He gloried in his capacity for tipping, and boasted that he could not remember having once gone to bed sober since he was grown up. His lowest daily average consumption of spirits was fifty glass es. He apparently thrived on this diet, and hardly ever knew what illness was, enjoyed good health to the last, and ex- pired in drunken sleep. Going to bed intoxicated, as he had done every evening for over forty years, he was found dead in the morning, having suc- cumbed to congestion, brought on, as the doctor determined, by alcoholic ex- cesses. On the occasion of his 60th birthday the old toper was entertained at dinner by a party of fellow rag piekers with congenial tastes. After a prodigious quantity of drink had been put away the assembly voted itself into representative congress of all the boozers of France, and elected him king.
 There are many ways to live and die, but there are, we suppose, few who would take much pride in living and dying as the King of Drunkards.

EASY AND MUCH.

As usual, and as expectedi The quiet which preceded this election meant just what shrewd observers thought it meant. The people didn't care to agi- tate or be agitated They had their minds made up, They were satisfied with Republican prosperity. Republican protection. Republican strenuousness and the rest of the Republican doings And they were disgusted with the fool ish and disorganized Democracy,
 It is almost too easy and too much, if there can be too much of so good a thing. Perhaps the Republicans have need to say Lest we forget" They belong to a wonderful partyr-a Grand Old Party. That party has surely four years more in which to continue in well doing. and If it does so continue it will not be driven out of power at the next presidential election.
 But what solemn, futile and a ridiculous thing it IS to be a Democrat. And whats the use of continuing to be 'one? There aren't many Democrats now, and at the present rate of prog ress it will not be long before the Dem ocratic party will consist of a donkey ish old man standing at the mouth of "a cave, smfting himself feebly on his sunken breast and tremulously whin- ing T am a Democrat

AN IMPORTANT lxpERTMESr.

The Bureau of Forestry is doing some good work and seems likely to do more. It is about to make extensive timber seasoning tests in two western States, in cooperation with two tele- graph and telephone companies. Ex- perimental stations will be located at Marinette, Wisconsin, and Escanaba, Michigan, and probably a third station will be established at Ashland, Wiscon- son. The expense of experiments will be borne jointly by the Bureau and the companies. Cedar and tamarack tele- phone and telegraph poles will be furn- ished by the State of Wisconsin free of cost, and two railroad companies have agreed to haul them to the experiment stations without charge for freight.
 The object of the experiments is to determine how many years can be add ed to the. life of each pole by proper seasoning. Since millions upon millions of poles are used along telegraph and telephone lines, even one years extra service for each pole will amount to a tremendous saving in expense. Unsea- soned cedar poles last from twelve to fifteen years. Seasoning experiments have shown how to increase this time by three or four years, and it Is now expected to improve on this increase. Past methods of seasoning have effect ed a drying out of twenty per cent. of the original weight of the poles. The better seasoned the pole, the less chance there is for decay. which Is prompted by moisture.
 Such experiments are of large irn- portance not only to telegraph and tele- phone companies, but to all users of heavy tirnbers which come in contact with the ground, at which line decay gets in it's most deadly work, It is be- lieved that still greater economies can be secured by the use of proper meth ods of preservative treatment.

NOT DOUBTFUL.

Connecticut has done her full share toward the general result. A quite he- roic attempt, if there can be anything heroic about Democratic attempt, was made to give the impression that Connecticut was a doubtful state. It was thought worthy of special at tack by Judge Parker and there was some loud and large talk by some of the leading, or misleading, Democrats here. But at no time was there any doubt about Connecticut felt by the Republican managers. and this morn ing Connecticut Democrats have req son to feel that he who doubts is damned. Nothing doubtful about the quality or quantity of Connecticut's Republicanism.
