LAST NIGHTS PRIMARIES.

The democratic primaries held in this city last evening, as will be seen elsewhere,
 resulted in victory for the forces that are antagonizing James P. Pigott's con gressional aspirations. For more reasons than one this victory is to be regretted.
 It has brought to the front and made of fensively prominent, at least for time, an element which the democracy of Water bury does itself no honor in exalting. A perusal of the successful tickets in the third and fourth wards will show that everything was sacrificed in order that ironclad anti-Pigott delegations might be secured, and the scheme worked to a charm. The motives that underlie the opposition to MT Pigott may perhaps ap- pear clear to those who will study fol themselves the sources and the methods of that opposition. Both appear to be in the ascendant just now, so far as Water
 bury is concerned, but we will
 hope, for the credit of the democracy here and elsewhere, that their star will soon set. The federal influences that are at work, ill open defiance of the civil service injunctions of President Cleve
 land, have buried democracy deep in this state on more than one occasion, and they seem willing, and even anxious, to ope1 for it one more grave. That they hay, gained the alliance of Waterbury democrat
 in their unholy scheme is not pleasan
 inorsel for contemplative democrats here abouts to chew. Caesarism is not congenia to honest democracy, and its birth il
 Waterbury may yet be regret and re proacl to those who now are feeding on it
 meats. \ No Caesar ever breathed tha

As AN evidence of how the republican party has switched off this year the words of Henry Cabot Lodge spoken in Septem- Der, 1884, are interesting. MT Lodge said: 'Grave public questions confront us. There is large, perilous, growing surplus in the revenue. It must be. removed, not by needless and extravagant expenditures, not by abolishing the proper taxation of whiskey and tobacco, but by freeing en- tirely those great necessities of life which enter into the daily consumption of every household and by wise and discriminate reductions" These words are more than ever true now.

de6antly and crows so brazenly from his elevated dunghill may yet have his wings clipped from their sprouts.
 The result of the primaries is to be re- gretted, but the friends of MT Pigott are not dishearten ed. He counted on the support of Waterbury, as he had perfect right to do, but it's defection will not do him serious injury. Waterbury may itself be the greater loser, and in that case the responsibility may be very easily fixed. We shall soon see what we shall see.

WHICH WILL BE PRODUCED IN THE
 COLUMNS OF THIS PAPER.

~ UR new serial story is now in pre-.
 paration, and the first chapters oi
 "The Great Ruby of Ceylon " will
 NJ shortly be given in these columns,
 These will commence one of the / best stories of modern fiction; writ ten by the famous author who signs himself "Q,' and over whose identity so much newspaper controversy has been aroused Every word beams with rays of interest, and while it's pathetic narrative has al times wierd and uncanny ring that arouses the readers imagination to the highest pitch throughout, and the DOT. trayals become so vivid that the author seems to be dealing with the supernatural, yet in the end it appears that nothing more unreal than that whichi daily occurring in our midst is brought to bear to furnish material for this truly strange history.
 Jasper Trenoweth, while yet a lad, is made to feel the dreadful effects of the curse laid upon his family, by the wicked deeds of an afterwards repentant grandfather. The will of that paternal ancestor contains strange and mysterious beheSts in the attempts to solve which, his father loses his life and his mothers death ensues from a broken heart. Already the curse is upon him and he begins to feel the sting. series of incidents and adventures happening to him before attaining the age oi manhood are depicted with consummate skill, and the Dr6atnleSS interest the reaOGr IS never for a moment allowed to flag. The ad- ventures attending the search for the Great Ruby of Ceylon," and the hidden treasures of the pirate, followed by the singular romance of Jasper's love, are exquisitely portrayed Rounded by the curse, partially in possession ,l its secret, pursued by fiend who is also a man of mystery, Jaspers life becomes bitter drag and resolves itself into an unequal war fare with his adversary. The ingenuity of the author in intertwining the plot and the subse- quent grouping of the characters, has not been equalled by any writer of the mysterious dur. ing our time. The subtle imagination dis played does not permit the reader to unrave or ferret out the plot, until the very climax is reached. Thrown into the hands of his ene- mics unawares, and in the power of those who | can aid or injure him, those who can give him | the key to open the mysteries of his life and l to remove the curse, he becomes their prey and one by one all his ambitions and hopes | are taken from him, until his final revenge is accomplished.
 | The complete enshrOuding of the story ir l mystery, the simple and at the same time powerful and graphic manner of its telling only enhances its success, and makes it one that reaches the interest of all. It is remark ably free from the many weaknesses anG | blemishes of our modern sensational litera ture, which sacrifices everything to the desire to astound the reader and forget that books should elevate and not degrade. The great | it's purity, which alone comments it, without its other attributes, and ranks it as master | piece of the author.

MT Thurman's opening gun has the right report. This is the vein in which he speaks "A tariff is tax" "This tax is paid by the consumer of the article" "How can laboring man be aided by tax that begins with the crown of his head and ex- tends to the soles of his feet and taxes everything that is between them 2" "How can a country be made rich by taxing its people unnecessarily !'' Restore the sur plus to the pockets of the people who earn it." The red bandanna will become still more popular where these words are ut tered
