point, easily understood, and then, when so put before it's readers, it's editor is wise enough to "let Nature take it's course" It is not catering to the "old fashioned, old woman and family newspaper trade, which some Journals which give us a nightly sam pie of, literary hard-tack affect, out of whose neighborhood and atmos- phere it has recently and for its own permanent good sensibly removed. Its owner and it's editor know enough to know that in a busy city of over 50,- 900 people, all wide-awalke, bound to keep posted on current events and cur rent men, the family newspaper" is san out-of-date old granny, and can only serve in modern times as-a cure for dysentery or cholera morbus. The family newspaper in New England society was in keeping with popular wants seventy-fve years ago, when every man in town made it his chief life work to know in detail all his neighbours business as well as the personal affairs of all the towns in habitants. subject to a full discussion every night, except Saturday at the village tavern over a demijohn of pure old Medford rum. The family news any subject. As in early days in New England, it's people believed and quoted as Gospel truth everything which ':I seen last week in our paper" Consequently the family newspaper" in order to go into each family in the community and not run counter to the opinions of anybody on any sub ject, fearing a loss of offended sub Scribers, could, of course, in order to pay it's cost of publication have no pronounced views on any subject where there were two sides which had their adherents and supporters. The newspaper in New England in early times as result was simply a eunuch in journalism. We have only one such, as an heirloom from the past, now issued daily in Waterbury and that one deserves a wreath of immortelles. But the Waterbury Republican is no such paper as the one described. It has it's own pronounced views on questions affecting the general public and this community. It does not hesi- tate to express them in every instance Yet marked feature in all it's edi- toria1 discussions is the plain fair ness and candor displayed. One rec ognizes at once both of these desirable qualities in newspaper, even when he accepts neither it's logic or it's con- clusions.
 The present management of the Wa terbury Republican, both in business and an editorial way, is in the hands of Mr. Charles Sawdey, who has been its former management, but in a busi- ness capacity only. Few men in jour- nalism of the modern kind and in all it's branches can be found today, out side of our cities of metropolitan size, of the wide experience both in the mechanical, business and editorial branches of the profession which MT. Sawdey possesses. He began to learn the trade of printer when but n years of age. He then started out by setting up, editing and regularly issu- ing an amateur weekly paper, with no outside help whatever. Meanwhile, he spent his days in the school room, and learned the rudiments of his fu- ture profession by the light of the

This move to be made by organized and united labor comprising by far it's greatest numbers. and it's most intelligent and important side, is asked as matter of right, and justice between employ CT and employee, and, in the broadest sense, of genuine humanity.

If not solely, certainly far more than to any other cause, the build ing up of Waterbury to it's present standard in business, municipal ana individual prosperity has been due to the pre-eminent good judgment and 1dlIAS0o Ol ASl uuduuldCIuA- CTS and business men.

MYSTERIOUS PRINCE RANJIT.

in exciting and battling London's curiosity. and
who is variousy described an Indian poten-
tate and prince of Siam. sailed on october "a
from Liverpool for Montreal on board the
steamer Lake Simcoe. whence he is going TO
New-York accompanied by a dusky suite num-
bering twenty-eight persons. He lived fort
night in all the splendor OF Oriental opulence
at a fashionable London hotel. where he had
dropped in unannounced and unconcernedly
engaged twenty-three rooms. In spite of the
publicity which such arrival was bound to
create. he has left England as much in the
dark as to his identity as when he arrived. The
Indian Office has issued official announce
ment that there is no such Indian chief
Prince Ranjlt of Beloochistan. But that neither
condemns the mysterious stranger nor clears
UP his identity as Ranjit is palpably an as
sunned name In London. where he by no
means courted publicity. Prince Ranjit declined
TO give any particulars as to whence he came
But he once oracularly remarked. II king"
Whether he is or is not king, he certainly

struments still more weird sounds A dancing
girl formed a prominent part of the daily en-

is a man Of fine physique dark skinned and
handsome. All his food prepared. in ac-
cordance with the strictest Oriental usages. by
his own servants. who wore gorgeous robes and
were nightly marshaled by a major domo for
exercise in an adjoining park.
