NO THREE IN ONE.

We take it that nothing will come of
the proposition to consolidate the offices
of Coroner. President Of the Board Of
Health. and Physician to the Almshouse.
1t is hopelessly impracticable. We
doubt If any one man could be found
here who combines the varied qualifica-
lions for all three offices. But should
such an accomplished person be found
after diligent search, he would either
have to slur his work or consent to be-
come a wreck of himself in two or three
years-for that is just what it would
mean If he undertook to discharge three
mems duties.
No: that scheme would not do at all.
A man might make a good coroner
who would be unable to fill the other
positions satisfactorily. Or man might
make a good health officer who would not
be well qualified 10 fill the other places.
OF q man might make a good almshouse
musician and not be able 10 meet the
demands of the other two offices.
In most large cities of this country one
Of the considerable charges that fall
upon their treasures is for expert evil
dence"-evidence of analytical chemists.
microscopists, etc. No such bills have
been paid here in recent years. All that
work is expected of the Coroner, and he
does il; but the moment the City Council
undertakes 20 have a three-in-one posi-
tion. that moment will it invite all sorts
Of charges of this description. Even
should the present Coroner be elected
20 the consolidated office, he would
have no time for laboratory work.
And corresponding difficulties would arise
and corresponding charges be piled up.
should either of the other two officers
affected be set the task Of doing the work
of three men.
There are so many obviously better
methods of economizing the city's expen-
ditures, we shall not consent to believe
that the scheme here referred to will be
nushed. but if it is. we believe testimony
can be heaped up which will show that
# would be ruinous economy and which
will ensure its defeat.

MOBILES ECONOMY.

Editor Rapier. of the Mobile Register,
who has been attending the meeting or
the Southern Associated Press, at
Aupusta tells the Chronicle, of that city,
that Mobile is one Of the most economi-
calIv governed cities ii the country.
Within the old city limits of Mobile
there is a population of 1900 souls and
the annual cost of running the city is
only NSS.OOO This includes a paid Fire
DEPARTMENT and water supply by graVi-
tation. The city keeps only two engines
but il is able to put twelve streams on a
fire at once, and the engines are never
used unless the fire is 1000 feet away
from the plugs.
The interest on Mobiles public DEBT
however is not included in the cost OF
CITY government. a separate tax is
levied and collected separately. This
amounts 10 about $4,000 annually. The
city's bonded debt is $2,OooOcO. Rich
mond has less than two and hali
times the population of Mobile, while It's
debt is nearly four times as great as
that citys However, we have some
very valuable and readily salable assets.

20 have been leased by Portugal to Great
britain for thirty years, the annual
rental to be 100000, or s2,5OOcoo, and re-
earding the rumor, the Philadelphia
Press says:
If this story proves true, Great Britain
has secured the key to the Transvaal
