MOBILES WATER SUPPLY.
The City Soon to be On Par With the
Most Progressive in Dixie

MOBILE, ALA, Aug. l5.-Mobile, which
has for years had an inadequate supply OF
water, and upon whose property extra rates
OF insurance was placed because Of the lack
Of water, has in the past year received an
abundant supply by the establishment Of a
water system with a pressure sufficient to
throw water over the highest building
in the city. This permits reduc-
tion of the fire-extinguishing service, the
flushing Of cutters, and in many ways is a
marked public improvement. To-day the
city contracted for 260 plugs for fire ex-
tinguishing. This, with the aid Of three fire
engines, will give ample protection, and put
Mobile on par with the progressive cities
of the south.

Look Out for Foraker.

Now that Blaine is out of the way there is but one person in Ohio who will clog up the otherwise smooth sailing of Governor Foraker to secure the support of the Ohio delegation for the presidency. Governor :Foraker's ambition is as unlimited as the ocean. Blaine was the only man to whom Foraker deferred his ambition, and in his case 1t was only done with the under standing that he should be placed on the ticket. Blaine's retirement means trouble for Sherman. Foraker's friends have no hesitancy in saying the party has done all it should for Sherman and that he ought to stand aside, because he has no chance, and make room for some one who has. Foraker can in great measure dictate the candidate who is to receive the vote of the Ohio delegation after the first bal lot. Foraker as a delegate heads the list, besides controlling the Franklin and Ham, Iilton county delegations. Dr. Graydon, who heads the latter list, is his personal friend. In addition, Governor Foraker's
 private secretary is delegate and large
 majority of the whole number gre friends
 of the governor and enemies of John
 Sherman. There is trouble ahead for MT.

THE death of Frederick, the German en- peror, which occurred this morning, was hardly expected for while yet. Favor able reports of his condition have been sent out from Pottsdam until the last few days. and there were many who believed that his case had not been properly diagnosed, and that he would eventually recover. Yester- day the news was flashed over the wires that the end was near, but even then the decision was hardly believed. He failed rapidly, however, and died at ii o'clock this morning, Berlin time. The death of Emperor Frederick, following so closely the death of the venerable Kaiser. will cause great changes in European politics. The young crown prince, who will succeed to the throne, is of a fiery and warlike dis position, and with the rein of government in his hands there is cause for appre- hension.

N., who was convicted by court martial of fraud, embezzlement, scandalous conduct, culpable ineficiency in the performance of duty. disobedience of orders, and assertion, while attached to the United States steamer Ossipee, on the Asiatic station, in 1885. He was sentenced to three years imprisonment at hard labor, on half pay, and then to be dismissed the service. His imprisonment dates from July 19, 1886. The president bases this exercise of executive clemency upon the prisoners good conduct in prison, and on the ground that his sentence will soon ex. pire. Watkins has been dismissed the ser. vice.

How Will the G. O. P. Be Judged


 And how will the country judge this year of the objects, the spirit and the method of the Republican party? In some measure surely, by the character of the candidate put forward at Chicago, who will necessarily represe3 some moral ad-. vance when compared with the candidate of four years ago. But in a larger meas ure the country will judge the party and the men in whose hearts MT. Curtis words found their readiest and sincerest re- sponse, the Edmunds men of the early months of 1884, the independent voters of that year and of this, will judge it-nay, have already judged it-by it's acts ante cedent to the convention. They have judged 1t by it's renewed declaration that it "honors and respects" man whose success in public life has been attribut- able, not to solid attachments or to unim- peachable integrity, but to extraordinary sharpness and cunning and trickery, and by it's confession that it demands in its candidate no higher standards of public honor than those of James G. Blaine, and that it has an overwhelming desire again to make him it's, nominee for the presi- dency.-New York Times.

rhe Republican situation.

:; Mir. Blaine's second letter comes in time to spare himself the ordeal of g second canvass and the chagrin of a second de- feat, but too late to allow his party to 1: conceal or dissemble it's eagerness to take as it's candidate man whom the country has once repudiated because he could not successfully defend himself against the charge of official venality and personal corruption. The Republican party has inflicted upon itself the full measure of discredit and damage which would have been involved in the actual renomination of MT. Blaine. For party must be of it's members approve and constrain it to adopt, and the dominance within the {. Republican party of the desire and the purpose to renominate MT. Blaine for the presidency has been incontestably proved by the action of the state conventions. They have chosen body of national delegates, of whom very nearly a majority stood ready to cast their votes for MT. Blaine upon the first ballot, while enough more to make up fully two thirds i of the convention would have joined them with the utmost enthusiasm as soon as they had discharged by a single compi- but unstable loyalty to divers "favorite sons." This is the visible proof that the Republican party, not merely in sulking stubborness, but with the ardor and self sustaining zeal of destructive fanaticism, iclings to the dishonored leader whom it followed to disaster in 1884 It is the testimony of the record. But if some further evidence is demanded it is afforded in convincing degree by the astonishing spectacle which the country has lately be- held of horde of acknowledged leaders of the party, and of many of it's news. papers insisting that MT. Blaine must and would be the candidate after MT. Blaine had declared that his name would not be presented to the convention. "-New York Times.

The Reason Why.

Of course, statesman has right to- refuse nomination for president and a, right to refuse to say why he does so. If he is of consequence enough to render his he is also of interest enough to impel his fellow citizens to look for the causes which he will not disclose. MT. Blaine cannot but be aware of this and his art is not concealed by the way in which he barbs his letter of retirement from public contentious with an appeal to the curios- ity of his countrymen.
 Our own opinion is that he is convinced that the man child has not been born who can beat Grover Cleveland in 1888 and that he will do better to lay back until 1892. Brooklyn Eagle.
