The Suicide.

at o'clock yesterday afternoon
the coroner's jury resumed the e1ami-
nation as to the cause OF the death OF
George W. Drake. Many of the
points gone over were the same as
given on Wednesday morning. The
pistol was identified as having been
sold to man of the description of the
deceased, with the cartridges, while
evidence was introduced showing that
he had been seen in saloons on
different occasions when he acted like
one demented, wringing his hands,
looking at persons, and saying
That's no HARM" mo harm in

with entire strangers. etc. Mr..
George A. Meesrs yesterday made
some experiments with a pistol like
the one found, firing at human hair.
and be states that at distance of SIX
inches, the hair vas not effected in
the slightest; and at three inches, it
was Just scorched. DR.. Benedict
testified that he could not tell
whether the hair near the wound
was burned or net. az it was
matted with blood. which had dried.
The Jury retained a verdict that be

While many still believe that 1t was

mony seems to indicate that it was q

Press Comments.

New York, 1.-TFibune comment:
The triumph OF the Citizens Union
in the San Francisco election is over
whelming; the demagogues who have
filed the Sand Lots with Billingsgate
and menaoed the city with fire and
slaughter have been put to route at
the polls; the democrats were in open
alliance with the Workingmen and
share the igromy OF the campaign
and the defeat. For example, the
democratic convention accepted the
Sand Lot candidate for joint senator
after receiving from him a formal
pledge that ne would vote for a demo-
cratic United States senator. a party
nomination had previously been
made, but the work was undone, and
the leaders Wed with another in
wheedling to the rowdy element. A
few Bourbons clamored for a straight
out ticket, but the nomination vas
swallowed by large majority without
retchings and almost without grim
ace. The result of the election is
most significant and gratifying The
redemption of San Francisco is draw
ing nigh.
The Times says: In the election
for commission of free holders to-
revise the charter OF San Francisco,
the Kesrneyites have been defeated.
Their candidate for state senator, TO
ell vacancy, has also been defeated.
The successful party is the Citizens
Union, the new organization which
has been called into existence by the
injurious violence of the men of the
Sand Lots. Their candidates were
endorsed By the republicans and by
the more reputable wing of the dem
ocrstic party. The lightness of the
totsl vote cast is sscribed to the fail |
ure of the so-called workipgmeu to |
go to the polls. Kearney aud his
leaders are furious at this un-
expected tlrn OF affairs, which |
coming as it does, directly |
upon the conviction and sentsnce
of Kesrney and his lieutenant, ap-
psrenily settles the fate of these agi-
tators. There is some talk of throw
ing out the anti KearneY vote, on the |
ground that the ballots are printed IN
a manner contrary to law; but this
is probably the idle threat of desper-
ate and defeated men. San Fran
cisco is to be congratulated |
upon -sthe result of an elec-
ton which, if it shall prove as
substantial a victory over mob rule
as it is claimed, will surely end the
long agitation that go seriously injured |
the Interests of that city.

reservoirs on the high ground. Both
of these plans are imprscticable at
present, and it may be questioned If
the second can ever be successful.
The HERALD has ever been in favor
Of reservoirs in City Cresk-not Oh
one large pond for storing an I'M
mense volume Of water, but OF
series of small reservoirs, arranged
and constructed SO that in the event
OF one giving way the others will not
be affected by the mishap. Iflt 10
undertaken to construct a single
reservoir in that canon capable
of being of service, cry will be
raised that must defeat the enter
prise. OF course it is possible TO
make it absolutely safe, but it is not
possible to make the residents below
have supreme confidence in its per-
feet security. Besides. a large reser-
voir, to be made secure against liza
bility TO wash-outs, would involve
an expense that Salt Lake City can
not afford. But even then the city
would not be benefited in the way it
most needs. 1t is water for irriga-
ting purposes that the town requires,
and no reservoir that could be coz
strucsed in the cailon would answer
for this. 1t is only a question OF
time when all of City Greek waters,
husband them as best we can, will be
required for the water works system.
The pipes are being steadily extend
ed, and one OF these days they will
reach every quarter of the town.
City Creek will be consumed for home
purposes, az it is the only pure
water flowing into the city, and in
fact, the only stream that can be
brought here for anything like a
reasonable outlay of money. The
wells are fast becoming foul, and the
waters unfit for use. People must
have pure, untainted water for their
homes, and they can only obtain it
from City Creek, which must soon be
given up exclusively to houshold uses,
to the exclusion of irrigation.
As to the Holly system Of pumps
and engines, it is simply
impracticable. That system is fire..
quently adopted in compaCtly built
towns to supply water for domestic
purposes and the extinguishment o
fires; but never for irrigation. II
obtain by this means enough water tc
irrigate a single ward would cos
double the outlay iot the canal
Even If this plan were practicable IL
other respects, there is one overpow-
ering objection to it, namely, The
want Of water. Last season there
was not enough water in Jordan
below the city to properly irrigate {
score of the city blocks. In order Il
obtain a supply We must tap thu
stream nearer its source, and no
trust to the generosity of those above
us to let enough come 10 the city fo
our purposes.
The only plan lor supplying our
wants at present that seems pract;
cable is the one that has beer
adopted. People, when they go tt
the polls next Monday, should think
of this.

Since the agitation began concern

roughly discussed. The route has
been criticised, snd lack of conf
dence in the ability of the engineer
who laid out the ditch expressed
through the papers. and quite gener-
ally talked on the street. Some
assert that if another engineer were
to 90 over the route and declare 1t
feasible for q canal, they would
cheerfully vote for the loan; but so
long as there is q doubt as 10 whether
the ditch, after being dug, will carry
water they cannot eonscientiously
vote for the expenditure OF more
money in it. This kind OF talk Is
simply nonsense. The work OF sur

WEALTH SPEAKS.

4 HERALD reporter, yesterday,
called upon a few Of the Weather
gentlemen of the city for the purpose
of learning their views concerning
the propriety of going ahea1 with the
Jordan and Salt Lake City Canal;
and also what they thought of the
loan proposition to be voted upon
next Monday. The result of the brief
interviews appears in this Issue. 1t
will be seen that all these gentlemen
are in favor of the canal, and their
votes will be FOR tie lean. The ut
most confidence was expressed in the
City Council with Mayor Little at its
head. These declarations should
have great weight in the community.
The gentlemen interviewed represent
about one-sixth OF the entire taxable
property, amounting to $1,000, 600.
They pay nearly one-sixth OF the
taxes collected in the corporation.
They are wise, far-seeing men; mtn
who look beyond the day, and who
do DO: forget within the hour. They
know that Salt Lake must have
larger supply of water, or cease ex-
banding and soon become a second
rate burg, with large and prosperous
neighbors on both sides of her.
These gentlemen also understand
that if the water supply is ever 10 be
increased it must be done nov while
the element is yet free, and unappro-
priated By others. They see the folly
of the nsrIoH minded, slow
coaches" who say LET us wait. Let
the canal be dug as We can pay for
it." This policy would be simply a
waste of time and money. and reck-
less disregard for opportunity.
Another noteworthy circumstance
in connection with these gentlemen
is the fact that their land property is
Almott exclusively within the present
water limits, and much of it on the
two tiers OF blocks fronting OBJ
East Temple street. How can
an increased supply of water
for irrigation purposes possibly
add directly to the value of stores,
banks and business ofices7 The op-
ponents to the canal in the lower
wards should reflect over this. II
these men who pay so large proper
ton OF the taxes are willing and even
anxious to bear still larger share of
the public burdens, those who are to
be directly benefited ought not to
complain. The business men want
the city to grow; they want more
people 10 come here and create
homes; they want trade to increase
and industries to spring up and
thrive; but they realize that these
things cannot be if the city is to be
restricted as it now is, in its supply OF
the essential element.
