CORONER ROSE AND HIS DUTIES

We notice au occasional growl about
Coroner Rose, holding what are called, un-
called for inquests." We have failed to see
case in which the Coroner so acted. on
the contrary his official conduct has been
marked with propriety and a delicate re-
gard for the feelings of the families Of
those who have lost one of their members
by sudden death. The recent inquest in
Appoquinimink Hundred, was necessity,
as charge Of feloniously administering
drugs to produce criminal abortion, was
made by the family of the girl who died.
The failure of the Coroner to investigate
sach cause, would amount to misdemea-
nor in Office. No community can be gov
erned without expense, and as business
all kinds grow, accidents will increase.
The expansion of impure literature, and
the vilely suggestive advertisements
journals owned by eminently pious citi-
zens, must develope such Grimes as was
alleged to have taken place in Appoquini-
mink-hence the Coroner's business will
enlarge, and the cost of running his office
become greater every year.
