popular amusement of the American

Last evening, Mr. Ncn, OF the

some way an English picture OF
slightly suggestive nature had passed
the critical eye of the censor. Mr.

against the arrogance of a long time
regime in politics, exaggerated by the
dissatisfaction over the new tariff law
adopted by Republican Congress and
by the presence in the councils OF the
ruling party Of certain persons who We're
Objectionable to the rank and file of
both parties. The Republican party has
seen the blow coming for some time, in
the loud protest against stand -pattism.
The Maine election was one of the loud
est manifestations of the temper Of the
people. For that and for the result yes
terday, it has itself largely to blame.
The progressive element of the party
was crying ont in protest, and its cry
was not needed.
The other cause for yesterdays Dem
ocratic triumph was, strange as it may
seem, Rooseyeltism, or too much Roose-
welt. Great as is the national respect
for the services which the former presi-
dent has done for the nation, there is
nevertheless limit TO TIC amount of
Rooseveltism which the country can
stand. Undoubtedly, much Of the hos
tile feeling toward the former president
started in the corporation circles, which
had had occasion to feel his javelin
thrusts in years gone by, but it rapidly
gained support with men Of open minds
as Col Roosevelt went about the eoun-
try campaigning. In the eastern states
he left trail Of defeat, which was only
deviated from in New Hampshire be-
cause the Republican candidate there
represented the most progressive ideas
OF his party and was, withal, young
man of acceptable qualifications In
Massachusetts the issue was more the
tariff than Rooseveltism, In Connecticut
it was more Rooseveltism than the tariff
which defeated the Republican candidate.
In New York it was surely Rooseveltism
which contributed to Stimsons defeat,
and it is probable that if Roosevelt had
left New York entirety alone the Re
publicans might have carried the state
against Dix. New Jersey went for its
stronger candidate and was. not infu-
eneed 50 much by other considerations.
In the middle West and the other sec
tons of the country which did not 90
by default, il was more the tariff than
Rooseveltism. Taken altogether the
causes were more than frail Republican
majorities could stand, and therefore

That this result should follow is, in
some respects Of the case, thing TO be
dcplored. the ignorant prejudice which
until recently handicapped the activity

should never be revived 1t cost hui
manity too much, in the way of pre-

nimity. On the other nand, 1t is well that
the hospitals should be frequently re-
minded that they are always exposed to
oversight and, to some extent, still on
trial. In the public mind, unfortunate
ly, they stand or fall together, and
every New York hospital will have to
share some part of the disgrace which
seems justifiably to attach to one. OBJ

An Entering Wedge.

The dispatches state that Brattleboro
citizens have had an enthusiastic meet
ing with executive officers of the Boston
& Maine railroad company welcoming
the project OF that company to make an
entry into Brattleboro by paralleling the
Central Vermont tracks from South YER
non to that village, permission for which
has been asked of the Vermont general
assembly. 1t is refreshing, so say the
least, to see this enthusiasm over the
advent at one point of the New Haven
system, owners of the Boston Il Maine,
into Vermont. To the lminitiated, the
project seems absolutely harmless, and
in line with our notions of greater rail-
road development But the question is
pertinent; What is behind it2 There
are many people in Vermont who claim
to be able to look beyond the ends of
their noses, who see in the South Vernon
Brattleboro railroad project the entering
wedge of proposed New Haven control

LEGISLATIVE INDEPENDENCE.

Although legislator is, by general
consent, allowed certain latitude in
voting according to his convictions, it is
nevertheless true that in cases where
the will of his party is expressly stated
before his election to Office he is in duty
bound to carry out the mandate of the
party Senator Archibald OF Bennington
county declared yesterday on the floor
of the Senate that he was not bounden
by the pledges OF his party, but that
he came to the Legislature to follow the
dictates of his conscience, irrespective of
the wishes of his constituents; therefore,
he should vote to kill the House trustee
process bill, notwithstanding that the
bill might be in line with the platform
Of the Republican party. While admir-
ing the independent spirit Of Senator
Archibald, one must admit that he is
placing his personal convictioTs above
the convictions OF several hundred thou
sand other Vermonters who are at home
but who are watching the progress of
legislation at Montpelier Their convc-
tions were already expressed BY refus.
ing to follow them, Senator Archibald
is magnifying the ego beyond reason.
