Baltimore's "water problem" is
very different from that of most cities.
It has an immense surplus. From
Jones' falls and the Gunpowder to-
gether there is derived during the dry
summer months a supply of 165, 900, :
900 gallons daily. During the same
months the city's consumption does
not exceed 26, 900, 900 gallons. In the
fall, winter and spring months the con-
sumption falls to 10000, 900 gallons,
while the surplus appro1imates AGO.
100000 gallons. 1t is estimated that a
water motor could easily be run on tue
third story of every building in the city
and plenty Of wNter be left. The intro
ductiOn of such motors AMI their ap.
plication to household and small
mechanical uses is the question of the
hour in Baltimore.

THE Republican makes an effort to
excuse the Radical Press of Delaware
for attempting to traduce Senator
Bsyard, because, as 1t says, he may
be q candidate for reelection five
years hence. and the two Senators to
be chosen to the Legislature this fall
are elected for four years, and may
vote for his return to the Senate.
That is q very poor excuse for ira
dacing a Senator who has, in the
opinion of the people of Delaware
without regard to party, distinguished
himself so greatly and shed such
honor upon his State. Surely there
would be ample time for fair criticism
Of the Senator's political opinions in
the campaigns that are to precede his
re-elestlon, if he should then be can.
didate. But in all probability Sena-
tor Bayard will determine to conclude
his Senatorial career at the expiration

The Coming Naval Review.

In Hampton Roads next Monday the
President and his Cabinet are to see az
good naval review as the United States
can offer under existing circumsta ncos,
although the waters are within twenty
four hours, by steam, of nearly every
American navy yard. Before the dis
tinguished visitors will pass a number of
finely educated officers who arc also OK
perienced seamen, and the ships will be
manned by as fine lot of sailors as any
navy can boast. Nothing will be lack
ing but good vessels, and If the speota-
tors wonder why the ineffective display
of ships should not give place a year
hence to vessels that cannot chase any,
thing weaker than themselves, and get
away from anything that is stronger,
they have only Speaker Keller and Con
gresham Robson to blame. A num-
ber of formidable cruisers might have
been built this year to sail under the
American flag had not one of these mon
been under self made cloud and yel
been the master Of the other.-N. Y

THE PROPOSED NEW Aims HOUSE
The Trustees of the Poor at their
meeting yesterday, authorized the
Building Committee to alter the plans
for the new aims house, and again in
vite proposals for the buildings.
The bids which had been made fol
tho buildings exceeded the sxpecta-
tions of the Trustees SO much that
they were greatly surprised. Under
the circumstances it seems very fortu
nate that there has been no sale of the
grounds on which the present aim
house stands, 1t may be possibl,
that the inmates will require the u.s.
of the buildings a much longer tim
than two years from the day on whlcI
the sale was to have taken place.

Tnr NEW NArY.-A oorrssponden

THE NEW NAvY.-A correspondent
from Washington let's some light upon
the extravagance OF the Radical party
during the past twenty years as to it's
ssandalous waste of money on the
Navy; and the fact Of the Republican
House of Representatives having
placed Mr.. Robson, of New Jersey,
who, while Secretary OF the Navy,
was the cause of a great part of the
waste, ct the head of the Naval Com.
mittee and the President having
selected William e. Chandler as Sec
rotary Of the Navy, Indicate an inten-
tion Of further extravaganza in the
same line. Hence it is said the Demo
cratic members of the House,
will oppose the bill for the build
ing Of tho proposed new Navy.
The fact is we need but very small
naval force. There is no probability
OF any nation making war upon the
United States and if such a thinG
should occur we would be far better
of than we ever were before. There
Ia scarcely sea port which foreigr
war vessel would dare to enter now
The use Of large guns and torpedoel
have made sea ports comparatively
safe from attack. The largest class O.
iron cladS could get within gun shot
Of not more than two or three of oul
ports, and they could soon be made
safe from attack. A Navy is always
an expensive luxury and large one
becomes burdensOme tax. As viii
be seen enough money has been vast
ed by the Radical party to build fou
times as many ships as we need.

A Mexican Graveyard.
[Corres. Detroit Free Press. !

It may have been the doleful effect of
the sermon that decided us to drive over
to the Mexican graveyard. 1t is of small
compass and rests on the side of a
mountain. The Texans tell us death oc-
ours here from the too frequent use of
the six shooter, rather than disease. The
size of this graveyard, or Ell murto, %
corroborates this statement. It seems
impossible for the Mexicans to free
themselves from adobe, even after death.
The bodies are placed in adobe tombs to
keep them from the coyotes that infest
this region. Some of these tombs are
already almost completely demolished
by these hungry animals. The brick
look light and as though easily crum-
bled, but on trying to move one I found
it as heavy as stone of the same size.
Blocks of wood, bearing Spanish inscrip-
tons, were inserted in the heads of the
tombs. They take no pains to beautify
their ell murto." Inside a green rail
ing was buried all American mother and
child. The gate of the lot was pad
locked, an unnecessary precaution, as
the railing was low enough to scale or
light enough to be taken up and carried
off, paddock and all.
