Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-08-20

COMMUTERS, drummers and others who have occasion to travel over the Consoli- dated system speak very highly of the ex- cellent service which is provided by the present management. A convenient ar rangement of trains, close running time and generally excellent time table com bine with the other fine features of the system to make it's patrons content and happy in the service. The Naugatuck branch, which Waterbury people have most occasion to patronize, is fully in line with the other parts of the system, and n comparison of the present service with that which was rendered before it came under the management of the Consolidated is the best proof to the travelling public of the energy and insight of the present man
 agement. No road in the country is more attentive to and more careful of the inter ests of its patrons than the Consolidated.

NUTMEG PROTECTION.

It has been shown that protection oper- ates unequally in it's distributive results, its summum bonum being restricted to certain favored industries and the indi- viduals connected herewith. Of 17,392, O99 wage workers in America it was shown that but 2,622, ,0S9 pro6ted directly from the protective policy, while 14, 770,O ,O1O are heavily taxed to make up the benefits which they receive. The lawyers and the clergymen, the physicians and the editors, and the numberless others for whom no claim of protection can be made, are al- lowed to shoulder the burden in order that the small proportion of protected persons may "fry the fat'' out of the system. Of course this is 8 first-class policy for the 2,622, ,Os9; so was the feast to which the lion and the lamb sat down together when the lamb furnished the feast for his hun gry messmate. .-.

HARRISON'S BURCHARD.

The shadow of Jim Blaine is swallowing up poor Ben Harrison. Every public ut terance of the former is paraded by the re- publicans, his every act is noted, his com ing and going are heralded in the prints, and in every imaginable way he is pushed to the front to overshadow the dummy that has been chosen to the nominal position of head of the ticket. Poor Harrison sits, sucking his finger nails, in his Indianapolis home, bitterly representing the remorseless Kismet that has put him in his present humiliating position. When Blaine sounds keynote, even though 1t be ill defense of those "purely private affairs the trusts, every republican jumps up and claps his hands and says, "This is truth, for he him self hath said it." Blaine is the mighty "uncrowned king" "the leading exponent of republican principles" while poor Ben Harrison is ''second only to him in impor tance." Perhaps this policy of the repub- ican campaign managers of pushing Blaine to the front and sending liar rison to the rear-which, after all, may be the proper order of things in consi iteration of their respective capaci- ties-wil prove boomerang that will hit Blaine and his party-for republioanism seems to be Blaineism in these days-right between the eyes. If it hits hard enough to close them up entirely, if it operates as effectually on Harrison as a certain rever- end gentleman's alliterstive allocution did on Blaine four years ago, the country will have cause for congratulation. Blaine has made many blunders in his political life, so many that his reward has come in an enforced retirement from official posi- tion but the greatest blunder of his blum dering career is his present course, which has already begun to earn for him the title of Blaine's Burchard.

N UR new serial story is now in pre-
 paration, and the first chapters oi
 "The Great Ruby of Ceylon " will N 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 e." and over whose identity so much newspaper controversy has been aroused Every word beams with rays of interest and while its pathetic narrative has at times n wierd and uncanny ring that urouses the readers imagination to the highest pitch throughout, and the DOT. trlyals 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 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 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 arc depicted with consummate skill, and the breathlcSS interest of the reader is never for a moment allowed to flag. The ad- ventures attending the search for the Great Ruby of Ceyon," and the hidden treasures oi the pirate followed by the singular romance of Jasper's love, are eXquisitely portrayed. Rounded by the curse, partially in possession .. its secret, pursued by tlend who is also a man of mystery, Jasper's 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 tho 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 unravel 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 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 in 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 and blemishes of our modern sensational litera- turc, which sacrifices everything to the desire to astound the reader and forget that books should elevate and not degrade. The great est beauty of the "Great Ruby of Ccylon is its purity, which alone comments it, without its other attributes, and ranks it as mastor- piece of the author.
