THE Hartford Times s'man about town

THE Hartford Times "'man about town" of New Britain says:
 New Britain's population is estimated at 5000. The last census gave us few over 19,OO0; but no self-respecting com munity has accepted the figures of the census enumerators as correct.
 We have reason to know that the bet ter informed of New Britain's people did not complain of the census of 1890. Such complaints as were made were by those who complained of census results gen. orally, for partisan purposes. The enum- eration of school children made in New Britain in 1890 footed 3,352; in 1893, APO. Were the school enumerators of 1890 such as "self-respecting commu- nity" might endorse? z1

SINCE Judge Barbour was set over the police court in Hartford some of his offic. ial acts as published have seemed odd though apparently the publications were truthful enough. On Tuesday hezrepri. manded Reporter George B. Thayer ot the Courant for his manner of reporting and ordered him from the room. The .Courant says:
 ''There have never been such thorough and life-hke police court reports in the pApers as have been given in "The Cour. ant" under Judge Barbour's administra- ton. These reports have been. the work of George B. Thayer, who was detailed there because, in his position as agent of the Associated Charities, he was espec- tally qualified to follow up interesting cases and show the public where to exer- else sympathy and charity and where to pass censure and criticism. The real newspaper, in its news capacity, is merely mirror of life, and "The Courant" is a newspaper every day. The procession moves along and the public looks in ''The Conrant" and sees the picture. If Judge Bafbour does not like the way it looks, he Still is not justified in taking reflections of himself as reflections on himself. He certainly looks smaller in to-days picture than he has in any of it's predecessors. When he forbids MT. Thayers attendance in Ais court room, he practically admits thathe is unwilling longer to appear in "Ehe Courant's daily picture of police court life. If that is the judges purpose, his proper course is not to discipline re- porters. but to get down of the bench and nnd that modest place outside of public station which he is best fitted to adorn." :"

AS TO THE MATTER.

1t hath been said that there are kickers
there always have been kickers, and that
there always will be kickers.
Sometimes a man tries to kick hole
in the horizon, just to see how high he
can kick. A ballet girl will kick high for
the amusement of the bald heads in the
front rowland then there are again
kickers who kick at nothing, and kick
alone on general principles
In the case Of Mr.. INSTEAD, who to-
day makes a pleasant-yet none the less
emphatic kick-THE GLOBE believes that
in many of his propositions he is right.
We happen to know, for We saw it,
that the negro named LYON refused to
allow FATCETTE to use a ladder to as
rsst in extinguishing the fire on I'M
sTEAD's house, although the negro had
several other ladders on his truck-and
any fool would know, or should have
known that there would be no demand
for them on the LINK hOuse-as at that
time the house was about destroyed and
the roof Of UMsTEAD's house had just
ignited.
But the negro, to show his little brief
authority, made FAUCETrE carry the lad
der back to the truck, and several by
ISLANDERS remarked that FAUCETTE should
have knocked him down, because the
fellow was impudent
Other insOlencc, entirely uncallcd for,
was offered other citizens of the town.
and while the blame does not attach to
the fire company, as company, thos"
individuals who DO not treat with cOur-
tesy our citizens, should be asked to re-
sign, and let it go at that
When property is endangered, excite
ment is liable TO be intense-yet even
under great excitement, men have re-
NAMED gentlemen.

As TO A FIELD.

The Charlotte Observer, commenting
on the recent consolidation Of the Raleigh
Dailies has the following:
Our two Raleigh morning contemporaries
have done well to pool their issues. There is
room for only one paper there, for Raleigh is
not much on advertising. The Observer is
distressed at the thought of losing CAPTAIN
JERNIGAN from the state press, but is very
happy that CAPTAIN ASHEis to remain. Both
are able men and 'have done the state some
service We hope that, whether in Japan,
America or elsewhere, Mr.. JERNIGAN will be
prosperous and happy. and that with the Ra-
leigh field all to himself MR.. AsHE may reach
the limit of his deserts-his hopes cannot run
beyond them. The statement in our Raleigh
special that the lease of the Chronicle to the
News and Observer is for two weeks is clearly
an error in the telegraphic transmission.
While THE GLOBE joins with The OBJ
server in wishing for CAPTAIN AsHE all
the success possible under this new ar
rangement, it shall insist that JOE CALD
WE'LL is off his base when he attempts to
prove that a paper occupying field en-
tirely alone would stand a better chance
petition.
Monopoly is death to any business,
while the constant necessity for exertion,
and of giving the best in the shop, is a
healthy stimulus to any occupation, with
out which the ablest and brightest soon
fall into habits of Incidence, neglectful of
duty and careless of results. One pro-
Queer never created market; one mer-
chant never built trade, and one news
paper with the field all to itself and
everything its own way, never amounted
which deserved the name.
The newspaper profession is like every
other-it requires observation-disclosures
and energetic opposition, to give it life
and make it worth mans while to rise
above stupid mediocrity. AS in law or
medicine, there is always room on top,
and no matter how many others there are
in the field it is the sfellow with the
ability to know ald the energy to execute
who always gets there.
1t is all mistake about Raleigh being
too small to support two morning papers
In THE GLOBES opinion CAPTAIN AsHE
could better afford to pay some bright
fellow to run a live sheet than to be
without "loathsome contemporary" to
hold up to kicking subscribers and dis
satisfied advertisers as a horrible exam
pie, causing them when feeling inclined to
cuss out the and News Observer, to realize
how much worse they might have Jared
and instead of whipping the editor as
was their original intention, to congrat-
ulate themselves upon having one news,
paper in the town which knew its bus,
mess and protected its patrons.
TIE GLOBE believes that two live pa.
pers in town will always pay better
than one, and regrets TO see The Chroni-
Gle withdraw from the race

Mr.. CHARLES BRYAN, of New York,
has disposed of his large holdings in the

Col. J. S. CARR. This makes the First

have faith in the town and propose to
keep their money at home. Among these
