WE DO HOPE Coroner Rose was Joking
with Mr.. Hersey, the editor of the Re
'pabHcdn, and that he did not show a dis
position to exc out petty revenge while
using the lutte brief authority which his
official position confers, by fning Mr..
Hersey $40 for being late in attending am
inquest on which he was summoned Edi-
tors OF daily papers have certain duties
that must be attended to in limited and
prescribed time, anu hence it Is very diff
iicult for them to attend to any other busi-
ness within such prescribed limits. Mr..
Hersey has perfect right to critise the
conduct of public officer, and so long
as he keeps within the bounds of truth in
his statements the public of both parties
will justify him. Coroner Rose knows
this or ought to know it. 1T lately cus.
tom has arisen to vote away the fees of a
jury, no one will object to its being done
with due regard to charitable objects
SO lar as legality will warrant; but nc
jury has right to vote another inror,,
Zee away Coroner Rose ought to know
thlS alSo. The small fee is the basis fe
the Coroners authority. If eleye,
men vote aye on question O
that kind, and one man vote nav +ba
one man can demand his fee and can co
lect it by suit brought before a maoistrat,
Many Coroners in former days took III
money with them to inquests and pai
the fee as the juror signed his name

THE legislature of this State would do
well to require some statement from the
Banks in which it is interested at the next
session. And this should be the case es-
pecially as to the Farmers Bank, of this

fills with men who own no stock in it.

THE BALTIMORE Gazette has awakened
up to asecret which has recently lit seems
been forgotten in some party of that
State. 1t says: "The Democrats OF
Maryland can carry every Congressional
District at the next election if they arc
wise enough to put their best men in the
field. There is plenty of good material
to choose from and candidate can be
nominated in every District that will in
sure success. The people won't vote for
bad man simply because he is on par
ty ticket and this fact had better be taken
seriously to heart by the leaders. There
was a time when parry nomination,
no matter how Objectionable, was equiv
alent to an election, but all that has been
changed and enough independent voters
are to be found to insure the defeat of a
domination not fit to be made. If the
Democracy will take this tide at its food
it will lead them on to fortunew

but that district is State, and in the

hall OF the present daily demand Of the;
upper service. This plan does not meet
the present requirements of the city, and
has the least merit, except the following, OF
any yet proposed.
In 1872 James l.. Davis re commented a
water-tower to be built at the southeast corr
ner OF the old reservoir, to be elevated 80
feet above the reservoir, and to hold about
1,000,0G0 gallons Of water. This plan Is
even inferior to the previous one.
In 1878 James L. Davis refers to q plan
which is intended TO use the old reservoir.
for the lower service, and to build new,
reservoir alongside the old one twenty feet,
higher for the upper service. This plan
does not give the capacity OF the proposed
reservoir, and the elevation recommended is1
NOT SUFFICIENT FOR PRESENT REQUIREMENTS
Of the upper service.
In a special report made by me to the
Committee on Water in November, 1873, l:
recommended to build new reservoir Of
SO,0OO,0 900 gallons capacity, thirty.seven feet
higher than the old one. at the site now oc-s
cupied by the present new work, and In
conjunction with the old one, to be used for
an upper and 1ower-seryice supply. The
several reports made snce-one in Febru-
ary, 1874, one in December, 1874, one In
April, 1919, ana one IN feoruary, iSIo-eS-
plain fully all details Of this plan, as we'll as
matters pertaining to its execution.
After successful working OF the plan for
several years / do not see whege, ,aiiy luls
proyement can be made IN It, except to en-.
large the storage capacity OF the reservoir.
Throughout this report constant reference
is made to the elevation OF the new reservoir
as an essential point to be considered in the;
merits OF any plan for the storage OF water.
The importance Of this will be seen when
the following places about the city are COM
sidered as representing the
CENTRES OF LARGE AREAS OF THE HIGH SER
VICE,
which not only demand very large supply
OF water now, but will call for The larger
part Of the consumption Of the future:

PLAN PROPOSED.

Water Po,cer at Three-lfile Locks.-
After careful study OF all the sources and
methods for supplying water. to the city l
respectfully recommend that new pump
works be established at the Three-Mile
locks, on the James river, embracing the
following constructions:
First. a stone dam entirely across the
James river, raising the surface Of the river
seven feet above the crest OF the present
dam, with such arrangement OF the head
walls at the canal-feeder and the dam as to
utilize when at its minimum the. whole flow
OF the river rs water-poWer.
Second. Pump sites, turbine-wheels, and
pumps capable Of raising 100000 gallons
OF water in twenty-four hours into the new
reservoir, with arrangements also made
now for other sites to be used In the future
when the addition OF wheels and pumps
are needed to raise 2s,00o, 600 gallons more
to this same elevation.
Third. "a thirty -inch pump main laid from
| the pumps to tho new reservoir, connecting
with one OF the thirty-inch branches already
