The following paragraph in the New
York World is SO remarkable that, al
though it contains wholly unjust ref
ence to ex-Speaker Reed, we cannot for
bear quoting it,
When Mr.. Reed was pushing through
the revolutionary code which made him
the arbiter of federal legislation, he con-
Quoted the proceedings of the House of
Representatives in accordance with rules
invented and applied on the spur of the
moment. 1t was then that the whole
Democratic party rose up against this
usurpation,n this "one-man power"
this attack upon the freedom of debate" F"
Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan will do well not TO
follow pattern that was denounced by
the whole Democratic press and rejected
at the polls by the voters of the country.
The World is the most persistent and
unscrupulous organ of the Dave Hill
Democracy. When the Democratic pro-
ceedings at Albany are too outrageous
for its taste they must be bad indeed.
AS a matter of fact more consummate
set of political rascals was never banded
together against the public veal than
the present Democratic delegation at
Albany.

If Senator David b. Hill fails to secure
the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency it will not be for lack of
crafty maneuvring, Every act of his
life for the past year has been consid-
cred with view to its possible effect
upon his chances of capturing first the
New York and second the national con-
yention. He hesitated to accept the Sen
atorship lest he might be unable to drop
it without throwing the succession into
the hands of a Republican and thus
createing fatal bar to his candidacy. To
guard against this contingency he played
his double role of Senator-Governor for
months, until he and his allies had de-
feated the will of the people and forced a
fraudulent majority in both houses of
the Legislature. When popular opinion
compelled him to show himself in Wash
ington he left plant tool to work his
will in Albany in the person of Lieut.
Gov. Sheehan.
But whether he fears Cleveland or
whether Flower is ungrateful enough to
have ambitions of his own, or whether,
even with Sheehan to hold the fort, he
feels uneasy on general principles dur
ing ever so short an absence from his
old stamping grounds; whatever may be
his motive Hill is preparing to force
things by a coup detat, nothing less
than to steal the State convention, as
he stole the Legislature.
The State committee is practically n
Hill body: the State convention, if it
came together freely and fairly, might
perhaps reflect some part of the indigna-
ton that is felt among decent Demo
Gratis at the unscrupulousness with
which Hill has sacrificed personal honor
and party good to further private am.
bitions. To choke off any expression OF
popular opinion in his own party is
clearly the resort 90 which he is driven,
and Co this end what so effectunl as 10

chosen: To shut off the primaries by

A CHALLENGE TO THE "TELEGRAM.'


When, after days of preparation, an
elaborately concocted tissue of false
hoods affecting the reputation of an in
dividual is published broadcast, the VIC
TINS first impulse is one of amazement.
His second is fight"
The size and character of news
papers circulation are its stock in trade.
They are to it what a business mans
reputation is to him. When those are
assailed or had in doubt it is not only
impulse, but it is duty to fight.
The Telegram last evening made an at
tack-a false, malicious and lying at
tack-upon the News. In another col
umn we meet it with fair invitation to
publish the actual sales of the two papers
side by side, as ascertained by an impair
tial committee, not by an irresponsible
employe who shows his subserviency to
his employer by his willingness to take
oath to falsehoods.
Will the Telegram dare accept this
challenge? Will it have the unutterable
effrontery to refuse acceptance, after The
libel it has published?

There are two sides to the question OF
the Pawtuxet water supply-that of the
city and that Of the inhabitants of the
valley itself.
Legally and theoretically, the Paw
tuxet villages are obliged to let the water
of the river flow past them as pure as it
came to them. Practically, they are
unable to do this. Surface and sub-sur-
face drainage alike seek the lowest point
in any valley. If the land is charged
with the impurities naturally resulting
from years of habitation by population
which is ever on the increase those i'm
purities are found in greater or less de-
gree, to get into the river. No human
agency can prevent this, until water is
made to run up hill.
Undoubtedly there are gross abuses
which can and which must be remedied,
and to this end the city may well ask, rs
suggested, greater powers from the
Legislature. But when all is done that
human ingenuity and forethought can
devise it will still remain true that the
city cannot with safety continue to take
water from a running stream below this
rapidly growing community.
Providence may secure a temporary
improvement of the evils complained of
by repressive legislation, but it will be
only temporary, and private negligence
will always continue to elude public
oversight. In the end the city must go
farther and higher for pure water.

As To FREE WOOL.

If the duties be taken off raw wool,
either the price of that commodity will
or will not be reduced.
If the price of raw wool is reduced tho
farmers engaged in producing it will
suffer.
If the price is not reduced, the manu-
facturers Of woolens will gain nothing.
On the other hand they would lose by
the lowering of duties on woolens pro-
posed by Mr.. Springer.
Either the farmer or the manufacturer,
probably both, would be likely to suffer
by Mr.. Springers program. We do not
see that either is likely to gain by it.

The Water Question from Pawtuxet
Valley Viewpoint.

The Water Question from a Pawtuxet
Valley Viewpoint.
To the Editor Of the Ne,cs:
SIR-The question of the pollution Of
the Pawtuxet river which is now being so
strongly agitated throughout the State
and especially by the citizens of Provi-
dence, deserves more then passing no
tice. Numerous articles have at various
times been written upon the subject and
the opinions of experts and inspectors have
been reported. According to an article
which appeared in the columns of the
Bulletin yesterday afternoon one would
imagine that the water was one mass of
poison, caused by drains, decaying vege-
tables, etc.
The manufacturers throughout the val
ley have been and are ut the present time
doing all in their power to avert any spoil
ing of the water, and probably the only
way that Providence could secure good.
clean water would be To secure their sup
ply from either the Georgiaville or North
Scituate ponds, either of which is large
enough 10 furnish an abundant supply
for the city. There was clause stating
that "At Natick there was barn contain
ing pips and cows, and "a stream was run
ming from the building into the water" "
Would the person who wrote that
article kindly inform the readers
OF the NEWS dJ Nhdb pdIliC-
ular part of Natick that barn was stu
ated and who was the owner? While not
wishing to doubt Mr. Young's statement
about there not being any fish in the
river from Pontiac TO Hope. we would
only state that il he saw the large quanti-
ties that are caught by the Canadians OF
the village of Natick, near Pontiac, he
would change his mind in regard to the
matter.
In addition to all this does the city re-
fleet upon th @ enormous cost that it occa-
sons to the manufacturers by the supply
IL uses from the Pawtuxet riverY The wal er
used by the city of Providence alone for
drinking purposes would enable the mill
owners TO run thousands more spindles
than they do and afford employment to
many more persons than are already at
work.
In regard to the filth from the CUTTERS
being washed into the river and the wash
ing of carriages, probably there is not a
river in the New England States of any
importance but what has wagons washed
i'm It and also receives the rubbish from
the streets and hillsides by frequent
showers of rain. IL the city would secure
some private pond or reservoir 1T would
be both of benefit to the manufacturers
and the citizens of Providence who have
10 drink the water. Z. ID. d.

Mr.. HENRY TIEPKE pointed out fact
of vital Importance when he said to a
reporter of the NEWS: 1T is signifi-
cant fact that the largest aggregate gains
were made in the cities and towns where
there exist strong, energetic and
aggressive Republican clubs, and
where the clubs, acting as aux
iliary forces, worked in unison
with the city and town committees.
These forces were engaged in registering
Republicans, end the logical conclusion
is that our ranks have been materially
strengthened at important points" Mr..
Tiepke doesn't concede Pawtucket to the
Democrats. In fact, he isn't much of a
conceder. He fights it out.
