THE INDEPENDaNr TOTE.


 Let independence be our boast" It evidently was the boast of several vo- ters Tuesday. For instance, there were several independent voters in New York. where thousands of them voted against Higgins. There were other thousands in Massachusetts, where the Democrat Douglass was elected gover- nor, while Roosevelt carried the State by over s0,OOO. There were other thou sands in Missouri, Wisconsin, Minneso- ta and Colorado. There were quite a few right here in Connecticut.
 Of course there were special causes this year for the display of so much in dependence, but 1t Is encouraging to see that the people are capable of deciding for themselves what they want and vo- ting for it. It was the independent vote that gave Roosevelt such an abundant plurality. Long may the in- dependent vote wave and flourish. It is the safety of the country, .

BRYAN,s oPPoRzuNIrY,

The election gave the cheerful and silver-tongued Bryan an opportunity, and he was not slow to take advantage of 1t. He doesn't have to "analyze" the Democratic vote in order to know how it came to be so small. He points out that Judge Parker's defeat was not local, but general, which is entirely |true-so general that nothing as gene ral has been seen in this country late- ly. MT. Bryan further points out that the reorganizers were in complete con-
 trol of the party, they planned the campaign and carried it on according to their own views, and the verdict against their plan is a unanimous one.
 Surely, he plausibly adds, silver cannot
 be blamed for this defeat, for the cam- paign was run on a gold basis; neither can the defeat be charged to emphatic
 condemnation of the trusts, for the
 trusts were not assailed as vigorously
 this year as they were four years ago.
 It is evident that the campaign did not
 turn upon the question of imperialism,
 and it is not fair to consider the result as a personal victory for the President, although his administration was the
 subject of criticism. The result was
 due to the fact that the Democratic party attempted to be conservative in
 the presence of conditions which de-
 mand radical remedies. It sounded @
 partial retreat when it should have or dered a charge all along the line. In 1Sa6 tha 1inA zas drawn for thA anst.

THE pRIv4rn FnnIeHr cARS.

THE PRIR4TE FR EIGHI GdRN. .
 The Interstate Commerce Commits sion's investigation of the private freight-car abuse may, the Railway Age thinks, have good results, even though it shall appear that the com- mission lacks authority to regulate the use of private cars. The railroads feel unable individually to resist the 3exac- tions of the owners of the private cars, fearing the loss Of traffic, though they would be glad to regain control of all the cars that use their rails. The in- .vestigation has put in relief the differ Ience between refrigerator and live stock cars handled by private lines. While the mileage that accrues to all private cars constitutes an excessive charge, that, says the Age, is not the chief evil. It is the power of control exercised by the owners of private cars where they are also shippers of the commodities handled therein which forms the greatest objection, and in this respect the private livestock car is exempt from criticism. Were the owners of the livestock ears shippers of live stock, as the owners of refrige- .rator cars are dealers in perishable commodities, their use would be alike reprehensible but such Is not the case. The former furnish the cars for the use of the roads; the latter both furnish and use the cars for their own profit. If 1t shall be decided by the court that the owners of the private stock carsare not exempt from investigation by the commission 1t will be apparent that the Pullman company and the express companies will be equally open to in- |quiry.
 Of course the business men who own cars and can make the railroads carry their goods in them cheaper than other folks can get theirs carried have a large advantage.

WHAT oAN BE Axp Is poNI..

WHAT CA V BE ANO IS DONE.
 What can happen and does happen in this country of many and varied di- vorce laws is illustrated by the experi- ence of a man in New York. He was divorced from his wife under the laws of that State, but the decree did not permit him to marry again. Going to Pennsylvania for this purpose he found that the marriage license law com-. |pelled him to produce this decree. Then he crossed to New Jersey and dis covered that residence for few days lis required there. Anxious to end his pursuit, he declared that he had full filled this condition and was married at last. Thus he defeated the intention of the Court that originally divorced him.
 There Is quite as much need of law which will deal uniformly with bank ruptcy in marriage as with bankruptcy in business. The present condition of things is both ridiculous and shameful.

LONDON DREADING THE WINTER
 By all reports and tokens we are in for a winter of exceptional distress. Trade is slack and the labor market overstocked; a very general feeling ex- ists that England has entered the zone of severe commercial depression. Tak- ing London as a whole, the present lack of employment, even before the opening of November, is as great as, if not greater than is commonly the case in the middle of winter. On this the officials who administer the poor law, the secretaries and agents of the in numerable charity societies, and the officers of the Salvation Army, who know the poor of London as no other church knowns them, seem to be in de- plorable agreement. During the twen- ty-one years that have been working here, writes the vicar of Plaistow, T have never found Sd much distress at this time of year. have already had to start the kitchen, which is not usually open till Christmas time. I have done so because our lady visitors found the state of things so bad in the poorest districts that they begged for something to be done to provide food, at all events. for the children" What Plaistow reports, White-ehapel, Step ney, Poplar, Canning Tonw.

] In preserving wood by recent meth cd the preservative, in liquid form, is forced into the wood at one end by hy- draulic pressure, driving before it the
 sap until all has been expelled. The
 treatment is kept up until the preserv- ing liquid issues from the other end. Escape from this end is then stopped and the pressure maintained. This forces the liquid to find it's way out from the center of the wood to the peri phery by following the medullary rays and the saturation is completed. The whole process requires an average of not over nine minutes from the time pressure is applied until the liquid comes to the surface on the sides. This system is suitable for treating wood for all purposes and has been developed
