WhyPeOple ShOuldFaCe
 FACTS.

When we hear solid, respectable men say that the ''hard times" are brought about by the Democrats we always think how helpless we are in the hands of prejudice It is question which plays the most i'm portant part in the world, TRUTH or PREJUDICE. We inherit prejudice as we do disease, and it takes us all our life to eridicate it from our anatomy. Bible scholars told us long before Cleveland, Mckinley. Kelly or Wells were born that these hard times were coming, and that THE PRESENT is the appointed time. That this ago is to go out in trouble, un- equaled in the annals of time; that there shall be great tribulation, such Hs there has not been since the beginning of time. No. nor never shall be. That these shall be. That these shall be perilous times; men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boosters, proud, blasphemers, unholy, lovers of pleasure, without natural affection; there shall be gnashIng of teeth; evil shall go forth from nation to natlon, etc. etc. Now, we might as well take our medicine quietly and face facts. We con- gra.ulate the people on the fact that very kind, benevolent spirit prevails Tn this community. and how much worse off We would be if the cholera visited Us. We all feel now that the financial cyclone Is shak- ing the dust of Waterbury from its feetand after our inventories are taken prosperity will once more push the wheels of indus trv into their usual activity. and our peo- ple will be seen on the streets smiling and wonder what hit them. In the mean time we are going to turn the property on East Main street into House Furnishing Establishment that Waterbury will be proud of, and as We have more land than we need We will sell a portion of it to the right man. It is funny, but We notice that when the sun Is up it loves to finger in that spot, so that the sunlight of prosperity is there ahead of us. What a happy thought !ssWho will be our lucky neighbor: Then again. there Is the church property close by. which is always admired for its cleanliness, its elegant, spacious sidewalk; inside the handsome curbing is natures green carpet, always pleasing and inviting in appearance. The sun may have its dark spot, but we cans see any around there; 1t Is daylight everywhere, and the Waterbury Furniture Company loves the light. We have a magnificent stock to dispose of, and whoever has any money had better take advantage of our Removal Sale. which Is going on now. 4 walk through our warerooms will show fine line Carpets, Stoves, Furniture Croekery. etc. WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Our Attitude Toward Brazil.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The report cur rent in Montevideo that President PeiXoto was negotiating with United States Min ister Thompson looking to the intervention of the United States fleet at Rio de Janeiro in accomplishing a settlement of Brazilian difficulties was denied by officials of the state and navy departments. The dispatch from Montevideo was shown to Secretary Herbert, and he said that if any such inter- vention was contemplated he was not in- formed of it. This of course is equivalent to saying that it is not contemplated.
 In the state department it was asserted that no information of such a negotiation had been received from Minister Thomp- son and that no instructions had been sent him to take such action.
 Corroboration was secured for the report that the United States and German au- thorities had together taken action to pre- vent the rebel forces from again attacking the city of Rio or doing damage to it..
