1t was decidedly premature 10 announce that
Senator German had on hand the fight Of his
life to keep control Of the Democratic machine in
Maryland. The announcement made by the
Administration Democrats, with whom the wish
was father to the thought. AS a matter of fact,
they cut small figure In yesterdays convention
at Baltimore, which German controlled as abso-
lutely and as easily as any previous convention
held since he became the Democratic Boss Of
Maryland. The nominee for Governor, John +.
Hurst, Is his personal friend. Hurst's name had
not been mentioned as a candidate until Tues
day. but the delegates were quickly swung to his
support when German had decided that he was
the most likely man.

fact that in 1877 the late Allan Campbell, thcn
Commissioner Of Public Works in this CITY, sus-
gested that pipe line be laid across the East
River. so that New-York might add to IT'S water
supply by drawing on the inexhaustipie quahu'y
obtainable on Long Island The anSurdity OF
the suggestion Is now evident. since many
BROOKLYN people feel sure that in few years
that city will be compelled to look for water
supply outside Of Long Island. How much
water BROOKLYN can obtain from the island Is an
undetermined question. Commissioner White
has taken measures 10 have careful and COM
pletc estimates made. and is also sinking ex-
perimental wells in number Of places to de-
termine where and to what extent water for the
city can be drawn from beneath the surface
The results of these Investigations will be full OF
interest not only for Brooklynites but for all who
think the time not remote when Greater New
York must derive its water from some source Of
supply like Lake George.

Bour1ke Cochran Said to Wish to Enter
 British Politics.
 When Bourke Cochran was plodding pedagogue ill Westchester county, he aimed to get into politics, and he suc- ceeded. Then he aspired to sit with the national lawmakers, and again he suc- ceeded. Now, in the fullness of his men, tai powers, with American achieved fame and name, he is in the mother country, or, more properly speaking, his mother country, prepared to stand not only for parliament, but for Mccarthy ism and home rule. Recent events indi- cate that twelvemonth will see him campaigning through a borough district of the country of his birth, and shrewd guessers predict that the division of the voters will be overwhelmingly in his favor.
 Some time before the sad death of his wife MT. Cochran contemplated long sojourn abroad. He confded to Congress- man Tom Reed and others of his friends in Washington that ho would like to re- turn to Ireland, and having money enough would try to get into the house of commons. One of Cockran's most in innate friends i'll this city is authority for the statement that the ex-congress- man has been offered a seat from Sligo, and that he has decided to accept.

of His Distinguished Parent.
 Those who have the pleasure of the personal acquaintance of Colonel Fred erick Dent Grant and have had oppor- tunities to study his character will be even more pleased than those who know him only as the "son of his father" that he has been made one of the police com missioners of the city of New York
 The Fred Grant of today is not at all the Prince Fred of whom the Democratic newspapers used to make sport during President Grants incumbency of the White House, not the Cadet Grant of West Point, not the happy go lucky Lieutenant 1rant of Chicago and the frontier, no more so than Grant the subaltern in Mexico or Grant the wood seller, was the Grant of Yieksburg, Ap- pomattox and Washington,
 do not mean to say that Colonel Grant gives any indication of an inher- itanee of greatness, but that, like his father, maturing slowly, he shows as the years pass an ability and fitness for duties as they come to him of which the incidents of his early manhood gave ht- tie or no promise Modesty, patience, persistence, common sense and even- ness of temper characterize him more than any other of President Grant chil- dren.

 Great Falls, Mon., is run by cleo trieity. Not only are it's street cars pro- pelled and lighted by electricity, but they are heated by electric radiators placed ill each car. Elevators, printing presses, cranes and all kinds of machin- cry are operated by electrical force There are automatic electric excavators, electric pumps and electric rock crush CTS.
 It is not unusual to see on the streets a mortar mixer attached to an electric wire leading down from pole. The restaurants cook by electricity, the butcher employs it to chop his sausages and the grocer to grind his coffee. Elec- tricity is looked upon as welcome blessing in every home. The housewives run their sewing machines and heat their flatirons by electricity; they bake their cakes in wooden electric cake ovens that can be set away on the shelf like pasteboNrd boxes.
 They have electric boilers, broilers and tealSettles. The hydraulic works and power houses are erected about three miles from the city on the banks of the Missouri. i.-Montreal Star.

 To the ancient order in Europe the apparition of Bonaparte was intolorable. His establishment in the Consulate was a menace to all that survived of the eighteenth century. To the princes of Christendom the Man of Ajacoio appear ed at first as an ambitious adventurer. Risen to power. they esteemed him a paryenu and political bastard. Now they beheld him confirmed by the al- most unanimous voice of a great people. For him the Gallio enthusiasm burst out in wild applause. By the Treaty of Amiens he was recognized as the fellow of kings and emperors. The greatest portent of all this-that the peaoeable ratification of the Consulate for life tended to make peTHa1tent the results of the French Revolution, thus inyalidat- ing the ancient regime, and converting it's offspring into stalk k-horses and spec ters.
 The phantoms of tho Past accordingly resorted to conspiracy. France had blown her feudal ghosts across the bor- ders. Some of them hoyered in London Some were in Berlin. All places on the
