1t is stated at the War Department that

Bourke- Cochran Takes Time in Lon
= = don to Discuss the Political
- Situation Here.

The New York Herald's European edi-'
ton yesterday printed the following from
its London correspondent,
Mr. w Bourke Cochran, who recently
returned from Rome; Berlin and Brussels.
left today for ireland. Mr.. Cochran. who
was extremely III in Egypt last winter. is.
looking now in excellent health. He told
me- when I~saw him at Claridge's, that he
had never felt better than at present.
Although be- said he was not in as good
a position to Judge of the merits of the
Irish land bill as Irishmen here, Mr.. Cock
rams own opinion is that the spirit of the
measure is beyond criticism.
A Question of Land Values.
ut is purely question now" said Mr.,
Cochran. "of what the land is worth, wheth-
err the bill requires the Irish to pay more
or less for it than is right. There is no
question that the spirit which brought
about the introduction of the bill is of the
very highest type.
1.-The fact that the bill has been intro
duced makes. in my opinion, any return
to the old system of governing. or attempt
to govern, by coercion impossible. When
two parties to- a controversy try by con-
sultation to settle it on. basis of justice,
Justice will be found. Justice always makes
itself manifest to those who seek it hon
estly."
Popular Wave Could Elect Cleveland.
When asked for his opinion in regard to
the present boom for Mr.. Cleveland, Mr..
Cochran said: IF the feeling on the sub
iect is general and Mr.. Cleveland's nomi-
nation is being seriously discussed, that in
itself is an extraordinary. tribute. Should
his popularity prove sufficient to bring
about his nomination 1t would be one of
the most remarkable things in history
.If, however, there is such a nomination,
IT must be the result of a spontaneous de-
mand from the people. 1t cannot be
brought about by any manipulating of the
machinery. for the party managers are
against Mr. Cleveland That is the most
serious obstacle he would have to over
come: s3t III .sr....e
public derf1afd is strong enough to force
his nominstisna the democratic conven-
ton, it will abeofItfong enough to elect him.
for the opposition to him is strongest In
his own party and a movement powerful

NOT TO BE SATISFIED.

The Cason News seems determined
the Legislature does except W zen one
house or the other decides in favor
OF Z Republican in a contest for a seat
The Senate made such a decision not
long since, and the News patted that
body on the back most afTectionately,
declaring in substance that the iegis-
latian of the State was perfectly sale
in the hands Of men SO fair and hon
orable in dealing with 3 political Cd
ponent. That, however, was somewhat
in the nature of hot al" let off rather
suddenly and thoughtlessiy.
Since til Hearst solution has
been adopted by an almost unanimous
vote in both houses, and the News
was about as Well pleased as it would
have been at the adve1, of an epide
mic of smallpox. II opened its bat
teries and poured two columns of in
vistives upon Mr. HeArstEn that arti-
Gle with its usual regard for corsis-
tcncy and logic, everything of coed in
the eHarst newspapers was credited
to the naging editor, while all that
was bad in the judgment of the News
was laid at the door of Hearst, himself
EVERYBODY knows g course, that the IL
rade against Hearst vas merely an IN
direct flashing Of the Republican mem
bers who voted for the resolution, and
especially of Mr. Averill. who said some
kindly things of the nan to whom it
referred
And nov the News is dissatisfied
with the action of the Legislature ID
enacting the irrigation law. True, it
his not specified anything wrong in
the law. or indicated in what way i
can do harm. Nevertheless 1t gloat'
over the fact that 80 California Legis
lature has defoG-e d a ='mi!ar measure
although thu III was recommended
United states Geological Survey-mel
who, presumably, have studied tn
subject with quite as much care an'
intelligence as have characterized tn
labors of the News. But our Carson
contemporary finds in this action OF tn
California Legislature satisfactor
roof that the members Of that bod
do their own thinking. while our iegis
lators allow Mr. Newlands to do thei
thinking for them.
1t goes without saying that the F,
sion party members of the Legislator
care literally nothing about what tn
News has to say concerning this or an
other matter, and it Begins to look a
if the Republican members are equal
Indifferent Our recollection is that
was Republican Senator. (and tn
same one by the way, ever whose vii
dcation the News was so jubilant
short time ago., who moved that NJ
Newlands be thanked for his effor1
on behalf of the irrigation law.
But further than this how does tt
News know that the irrigation bi
was defeated in the California Legi
la'ure by the Independent thinking
it's members? The San Francis
Chronicle, which probably understand
the situation in our sister State as We
as the News does, asserts broadly tn
the bill was defeated by sinister inf
ences Such things have occurred
California and it is not possible, but
the contrary quite likely, that the c
onicle is right At all events of G
thing we may be sure. 1t is more ne
" right than the News is in its &C
ment upon the action Of our own L
