Holy Trinity Guild Anniversary.

The seventh anniversary of Holy Trinity
Guild was held In Old Swedes Church last
Tuesday. A small but appreciative CON-
gregation was present. The musical
feature of the service was the chanting of
the Tenth Selection Of Palms, which was
rendered with much heartiness by the
entire congregation. The report of the
secretary, Mr.. Aylmer Robinson, was
read by the pastor of the church. Owing
to the unexpected and unavoidable alb
sence OF the Rev. Fl. Ashton Henry, the
appointed preacher, the annual sermon
was omitted. The time was occupied by
addresses, the pastor speaking first, on
the present condition and future psos-
poets Of the guild. He was followed by
the Rev. DR.. Littell, whose remarks were
OF most interesting and encouraging
nature, being illustrated by anecdotes
drawn from his own early experience In
the ministry. An offering was taken for
the benefit Of the guild.

THE DIFFERENCE.

There is a notable difference in the re- spective Claims of the two great parties this year. The republicans go to the voter with an appeal for higher taxes on the necessaries of life, discrimination in favor of the rich as against the poor, free whiskey and tobacco and taxed food and clothing. The democrats want cheaper necessaries, justice for the poor man and the working man. taxed whiskey and tobacco and cheaper food and clothing. The republi- cans want the surplus in the treasury, which is now $13O, GOO, ,000 and over, made still greater; they want it to go on increas- ing at the rate of nine or ten millions a month till the treasury becomes still more dangerously congested than it is at present The democrats want this surplus reduced and the money that is locked up in the government vaults put into circulation and the channels of business. The repub- licans want the monopolists and the manufacturers and the trust devilfsh protected in order that they may "fry the fat out of the workingman and the poor man, The dem ocrats want the wage earner protected by means of steadier work, greater demand for his services and more certain price for his labors. The republicans want the door left open for foreign pauper labor while they bawl for protection that gives -tenths of the profits to the manufacturer and capitalist. The democrats want home labor and the worlds markets and a protection that will shed its benefits on the workingman as we'll the manufacturer. The republi- can party is the natural and legitimate protector of the monopolist and the cap
 italist; the democratic party is the natural and never-failing protector of the poor man and the toiler.
 Such is the difference between the great parties this year. Such are the claims on which they respectively present themselves to the consideration of the voters of the country. The difference is being empha- sized as the voters study for themselves the issues of the campaign, and when the sun goes down on the 9th of November the result will show that they have learned to see and appreciate the difference

THE AMENDE IS PROMPT.

The Seymour Times quotes our remark that "the Connolly opposition (to MT
 Pigott) is made more bitter because of the
 loss of $2 ,0O0 which it had been reported
 the Hon Carlos French was to hand over to Connolly ill the event of his renomina- tion," and says: "The intimation here thrown out in regard to MT French it is safe to say is utterly false and without foundation. It is we'll known that MT French has not raised finger to secure a renomination, and he is not the man to make bid for the support of any man or party of men," The Times utterly misin- terprets our words if it believes that we intended any reflection on MT French. Such report was being used by Miles F.. Connolly, for what purpose he knows best; and while we gave no credence to his statement, we believed we had right to use it as a matter of news. MT French is too honorable and too honest man to be the subject, even for moment, of the base insinuations that his false friends in Waterbury have used to further their own schemes, and the DEMOCRAT yields to no paper in it's desire to place him in his true light. MT French

RETALIATION.

President Cleveland has thrown a bomb into the republican camp by his message calling for retaliation against Canada. The republican senate, placing partisan ship before patriotism, rejected the fish cries treaty without showing in the words ot the president, 'any apparent disposi- tion to alter or amend its provisions, and with the evident intention, not wanting expression, that negotiation should at present be concluded touching the matter at present issue.' They hoped thus to furnish their stump orators with the lacked pluck and dignity to stand up against England. The president has made bold flank movement and his clever strategy will bring dismay and confusion to the republican cheap Johns Canadians will be irritated at President Cleveland, but the country can stand it. What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. The Canadians since 1866 have been allowed to ship their goods over our terri tory free of duty, while our fishermen have been denied the privilege of shipping fish across Canadian soil in bond The president now asks for power from con gress to suspend the operation of all laws and operations which give to Canadians such unequal advantages. A perusal of the message will show the high spirit ot patriotism that actuates President Cleve
 land, and which is in line with that shown during his whole public career.

MIR FRENCH IS OUT.

The preliminary skirmish i'll Waterbury last evening, i'll the congressional contest, was more or less confused by reason of the rumor that had been industriously circu- lated to the effect that MT French is a dark horse in the race and would accept the nomination if given him. This does MT French a great in justice. That gentleman is not only not a candidate, but he declines the use of his name. Those who are using his name do so without his consent or knowledge. MT French is a man of honor and would never consent, under any cir cumstances, to be placed ill a false position. He is out of the race.-New Haven Reg ister.
 It was by the use of Mir French's name in connection with renomination and by the confusing composition of their tickets that Connolly and his gang succeeded in getting the balance of power against MT Pigott in Waterbury. We GO not believe that the democracy of this city is hostile to MT Pigott, and when it is thoroughly un- derstood that MT French is out of the field absolutely and irreyocably MT Pigott is without any question their next choice. That MT French would, under no circum- stances take nomination is as well known to Connolly as it is to the New Haven professional politician who was here giving him pointers last Tuesday night The latter's paper published the fact several times. And it is known to Connolly when he was busy spreading the false report that MT French would take the renomination if it was rendered him. His action is not creditable to one who owes very much to
 MT French, but it is quite consistent with his character. MT French will not ap- preciate such treachery, and the bandying 1 of his name in primary election as can didate for an office he neither wants nor
 would accept is distasteful to him and his l friends. We ask the ward delegates who are to nominate delegates to the con- gressional convention to bear in mind the | fact that MT French will not consent to | go to congress again.

WHICH WILL BE PRODUCED IN THE
 COLUMNS OF THIS PAPER.

UR new serial story IS now ln pre-
 A 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 o." 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 wierd and uncanny ring that arouses the readers imagination to the highest pitch throughout, and the DOT. rrayals 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 patCrnal ancestor contains strange and mysterious bchests, in the attempts to solve which, his father loses his life and his mothers death cnSucS from broken heart. Already the curse is upon him and he begins to feel the sting. A series of incidents and adventures happening to him before attaining the age of manhood are depicted with cOnsummate skill and the breathleSS interest of the reader is never Tor d moment luOWtu lO flag. 1u0 ttu- 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 eNquiStely portrayed Rounded by the curse partially in possession ,l its secret pursued by ticnd who is also 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 rQuallCd by any writer of tho 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 to remove the curse, he becomes their prey and one by ono all his ambitions and hopes are taken from him, until his final revenge is cOmpliShed.
 The complete enShrOuding of the story in mystery, the simple and at the same time powerful and graphic manner of it's 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 itera- 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 CeylOn is it's purity, which alone comments it, without its other attributes, and ranks it Us a master piece of the author.
