A CASE OF SMART POLITICS.

The progress Of the negotiations at Paris
has at last reached a point where 1t is Just
possible that this administration will be
ippnes before the date of the November
elections. II the question of the Philip
pines is taken up at Mondays session OF
the commission the world ought to get a
strong intimation OF our purpose before
November the Sth.
Still the distinguished commissioners can
talk around the subject through two or
three meetings and continue to keep the
American voter in ignorance as to the in
tentions of the administration until all
danger from the election has passed
1t liz by no means certain that the ma
1ority sentiment In the United States Is
In favor Of the retention Of the Philippine
islands. To embark upon the dangerous
experiment of colonization in Asatic re-
gions is fraught with immense difficulties
| and the conservative element OF America
would naturally hesitate to take such a
| lean In the dark II Mr.. Mckinley, as he
| has claimed, desires to be governed by
public opinion In the premises, ne should
have announced what his purposes were
and given the people chance to record
their approval or disapproval at the ballot
box In November.
| A fearless statesman honestly DESTROYS
OF vofcng the will OF the Nation rather
thnn clique or party, would have spoken
out boldly. declaration OF the admins
tration's purpose could not have hurt Ms
in any way. Spain is helpless and Others
dare not Interfere We would have lost
nothing In diplomatic w,ay by candor.
But Mr.. Mckinley is not fearless states
man. His ways are those OF the politician
and 1t is unduestionably true that his in
tentions with reference to the Philippine,
have been kept secret from fear OF pro
voting rebnke In the congressional cleo
tions. Generally Il Ia understood that tn,
administration IL committed TO imperialism,
hut the presidents soilcitude for his party s
welfare has prevented a frank declaration
which might have aroused the active has
Itihty OF anti expnnsionists in republican
ranks!
We have feard eloquent references TO thu
currents OF destiny and to the commerc,
that follows the flag but up to this goo
day the administration has studieusly
avoided taking the Nation Into It's conf
denee as 20 ITS purpose with reference &
one OF the greatest auesiions that ever
camc before the American publicl
II we are to embark upon IN imperial
isto policy the country ought 10 know |
before November In order that they cal

may feel in the premises, To continue e

the Butler and the Chapel mills, and
the consequent damage to the water
for manufacturing purposes. The. city
claims that the pollution is something
for which it is in no way respofslDle.
The owners of privileges had the leSal
right to dump refuse into the stream
but no guaranty was offered that the
amount of water would never be di-
minished. Even If before the seizure
the water was pure enough, ana II al
ter the seizure it was not pure enonSn
the city is not to be held responsible
And, In fact, the city claims the seizure
was the remote and not the real cause
of the pollution. The real cause can be-
found in the misuse made of the stream
by the mill-owners above the point IN
question.
We insist that the city must be given
credit for the water turned into the
Blackstone at the sewage publication
works, and we insist that the privilege
owners below that point, that is, begin
ming with the Worcester and suburban
privilege and ending with tide water at
Pawtucket, have not been damaged a
single penny's worth 1t can be accd-
rately figured out that IS per cent Of the
water taken from the river by the city
at Kent's is turned back INTO the river
by the city at the publication works
And, more than that, the rs per cent
turned back by the city is turned in
with absolute regularity while the flow
from the natural stream would be IL.
regular, Regularity is essential for
manufacturing, and so it can be rea-
sonably said that the rs per cent turned
in by the city at the publication works
is worth more to the mills below that
point than the 100 per cent TOW Of
the natural stream would be.
In closing, Mr.. Rugg said that the
city should insist upon 6 per cent IS the
rate of capitalization and that at best
capitalization was an unsatisfactory
method Of defining damages. 1t Is
merely an aid in getting at a result.

DROPPED DEAD.
Mrs. Rudy a Victim to
Heart Failure.

Catherine Ruddy, IA years old, dropped
dead, at her home, Z North Ashland
street, about els o'clock last night.
She was crossing the kitchen floor car
rying a lighted lamp, when she dropped
to the floor without a sound.
The lamp dropped from her lifeless
hand, setting fire to her clothes, and
in a moment her dress was in flames
Her daughter-in-law Margaret Bud
dy, who lives with her, was in the next
room and heard her fall. She hastened
to the kitchen, and her screams
brought S. e. Lawrence, who lives on
the floor above, to her assistance.
The flames were smothered in a short
time and the woman lifted on to her
bed, when it was seen that life appar-
emily was extinct. DR.. Goulding, who
lives in the next house, was summoned
but the woman was dead.
Medical Examiner Z. H. Baker was
notified and, after viewing the body
gave as his opinion that the woman
died instantly from heart failure. She
was burned to some extent about the
head, face and arms, but the burns
were not considered sufficiently serious
to cause her death.
Mrs. Rudy is the widow of Henry
Rudy, who met with a violent death,
in Clinton, about % years ago. She
was born in Germany coming to this
country when a young girl She has
been resident of Worcester for about
40 years.
She has lived at North Ashland
street for some time, with her daugh-
ter-in-law, Margaret Rudy, and her
seyen-year-old granddaughter, Louisa
Ruddy. She has also three grandchil-
dren, Mabel c., NBlanch and Eddie
Hager, of Chicago.
Mrs. Rudy has been subject to heart
failure, but appeared in her usual
health yesterday, outside of complain
ing that she felt tired Funeral ar
rangements will be made today.
