that was ever foaled since horses be-
gan to be utilized by man. 1t at once
struck the learned senator square in
the face. There is no difficulty with
his logic when he wants to use il, when
he is not exploiting his sophistries, and
when he desires to come down to the
bottom facts and to the bottom reason
lngs. On a proposition which is sound
there is no difficulty. with his process.
You might as well say that Archimedes'
lever, if he had the place where to
stand, couldn't have moved the world
as to say that his logic, when it has any
fulcrum to rest on, is not sufficiently
powerful to its end. He saw where that
horse was going. He saw that that
horse would run him down, and that
he never could escape from him. He
consequently began a lot of aerobatic
performances, rapid-mounting and dis
mounting, bareback riding, high and
lofty tumbling, TO see if he could not
get rid Of the horse, but at the last ap-
pearances the horse was prancing with
his back perfectly free, and the senator
sprawling in the dust
Mr.. Goulding took up Senator Hoar' $
simile os taking wind from a windmill.
1.-THE trouble with this argument" said
the counsel, is that 1 have never
claimed monopoly of wind power for
my clients; and if I had, I should have
to withdraw 1t after hearing the argu-
ment of the senior counsel for the de-
Tense.

ter the course of Stony brook. The
language of the act Is precisely the
same as in this act. Cutverts were re-
moved or enlarged, and therefore had
less effect in retarding and regulating
the flow of water.
Now I am not going to read any fur
Their evidence. The case is in no way
different from this. For many more
than so years this brook has been res
ervoired and the holders OF privileges
along its course have been entitled to
a regulated flow of water. Now II they
are entitled to damages, why in the
name of all that is reasonable are you
not going to take into consideration
the brook as it was? What probability
is there in looking at this problem from
any other standard?
1.-THE next question to which I shall
address myself is as to whether or not
there is any ineumbrance on the Waite
rollway The only question this mat
ter suggests to your honors is, do the
conditions as we find them create an
incumbrance? And l submit, they do
not. There Is no incumbrance, no es-
cape. no privity of estate between par
ties, that point is settled. There now
remains q question as to whether the

Goulding read from the act incorporat-
ing the company and showed what its
rights consisted in.
He then continued: "Now in the first
place, this is simply a corporate act,
and I do not propose spending much
time in the considerable of this phase

I honorable body, I claim that no In

only question before you is, Was this

extent of the damage"

cester; on the other side the cost. The
mills were prosperous. No strikes came
10 them. They were perfectly equipped
for making fortunes; fortune after for
tune had been made out of these mills.
But it was learned that all this is
an illusion. The fathers who looked
upon this property and coveted it, in
tending to pay for when they did take
1t, all were mistaken. But what do you
suppose the city of Worcester, this
aqueduct corporation, hired all this ex-
pert skill for? Why, if it was only
worth $150,000, did they take such great
pains. when Sherman and lockwood
and Hoar had discovered that this prop
erty was worth little, though this was
the property that their fathers said
was so valuable that they could not
afford It? ask you to say, gentle
men. if the example of unequal elo-
quence, the public power, can so shut
your eyes as not to see this?

of the commission, in the hopes that l
might do something by raising another
curtain and diverting your attention
for a single moment-that / might do
something to console you; that l might
do something to wipe the tears from
your eyes, engendered there in most
piteous drops by the pathetic appeal
of the senior counsel on the other side,

stand. where he claimed that the
church owned the entire property with

fore you is, What was the damage to
the property"
There is one thing / wish to say re-
garding the evidence OF the principal
experts for the respondent relative to
the cost of the production of steam. If
you adopt the principle of the cost of
steam, what is to be the definite meas
ure? The defense says you cannot do
this. But is man to have no credit
for his industry? Such an action on
your part would be equivalent to say
ing that the man who uses the most
diligence and is the most industrious is
to be punished. And that the man
farthest behind il to be rewarded and
receive the largest damage. 1t would
be putting premium on sloth and
want of ability and enterprise Now
we have put on the witness stand the
manager of the Wheelock Engine Com
pany Of this city, the star concern
among builders of engines in this sec
ton of the country. He has given you
the actual cost of the production of
steam. HIS testimony has been above
and beyond all theory. He spoke from
perfect knowledge and told you Just
what things cost. 4

recover for the property that is taken
away from them; you can compensate
them to the last dollar according to
the value of their property, as they
have shown it, and it will take but a
fraction of the value from this water
corporation of the great franchises, the
profitable business which it possesses.
Now, gentlemen, 1 am perfectly we'll
aware that the things that I have said
are really outside the question at issue.
For one whole day senatorial eloquence
was poured upon you, and not one
fifth part of the elaborate, eloquent and
powerful speech that was addressed to
you had the slightest relation to the
matter before you. And it was crowd
ed with sophistries which the Vepiest
sophist whoever f1ourished in the palm
lest days of Athens, when they used to
go and attack old Socrates and he
would put them down-not the veriest
sophist Of them all would ever have had
the effrontery to advance such sophis-
'rles as those that were addressed to
you for the whole of Monday afternoon
and almost the whole Of Tuesday morn
ing. 1t will be an easy task for me to
expose those | deem worthy my atten-
ton. but l make the proposition to you
tnat more complete and bare-faced So
phlstries were never addressed before
to any tribunal anywhere.
The proposition is that the city pay
the fair market price of the goods. Let
me say that no goods were ever sold
over the counter for which better val
ues are gathered. And when there is
reduction in the water re ties, there is
certain dividend in another form paid
to the stockholders, the citizens. The
dividend Is perpetual-nothing can be
more perpetual than this water flowing

Gentlemen, in order that we may
understand each other about the mea-
sure of damages, I want to cite few
cases, and | want to make a few obser-
yations. There were two parties intro
duced into the case early in the pro-
ceedlngs who were intended to play a
very important part. They resembled
That interesting character in Dickens
Barkis. They were within They were
two parties whose chief characteristic
was their willingness. They might have
other virtues. You might, if YOU
searched deep into their charac-
ters, have found flaws, You
might have found perhaps defects
where the penetrating sarcasm of the
senior counsel for the respondent might
nave pierced the marrow of their bones,
put as we know them, we know them
as invested only in the most charming
of robes-the robe of willingness. They
are willin'. What says my learned bro
ther, Mr.. Rugg, the city solicitor?
What do you think the fair value would
be between willing purchaser and a
willing seller? They got that out of
Lawrence VS.. Boston, and thought they
had discovered the philosophers stone.
They had got something at last that
solved all difficulties. Nothing could be
so hard that you could not put a little
of that stuff on it and it would melt and
flow fluid easily into the molds that
they wanted it to flow into There was
finally the discovery. The willing buyer
and the willing seller had at last got
together. There was blessed union,
and over their kneeling figures were ex
tended the venerable arms of the great
senator and he said, God bless you,
my children
Mr. Goulding went on to take up

Now on that evidence the learned
counsel for the defense poured forth q
perfect TRADE Of bitterness and held
these gentlemen up to public scorn.

city. He argued the fallacy of the claim
that water in itself was not power any
more, to quote Senator Hoar's simile,
than it is punch because when mixed
with brandy it makes brandy punch.
He picked other flaws in the city's
case. He argued on the principle of the
value before and after the taking.
In outlining what he would not touch
upon, Mr.. Goulding paid a warm per-
sonal tribute to E. H. Vaughan, his as
sociate counsel: Nov, it is entirely
clear that l have no time to dwell upon
details In this matter There is no par
tlcular reason why 1 should. This case
has been argued. 1t has been argued
for the defendant. 1t has been practi-
cally and fully argued for the petition
ers. My learned associate, who not
only has surprised me. but surprised
everybody who is interested in the mat
ter by the thoroughness, the intelli-
gence, the extent and completeness of
the preparation of the case, has not
only done all that, but he has become
what he is entitled to be called, the
Rupert of this debate Foreseeing with
perfect precision every weak point in
the defendants case, he has dashed
upon it with irresistible valor, broken
TO pieces and thrown into confusion

OF which agreed with any other one
part, and left them in inextricable con-
fusion.
