fetal lake held by n concrete dam 600
feet long and 125 feet high at the
highest point. The storage capacity OF
the basin Is estimated at 100000 900
gallons and the water Will seldom be-
come muddy.
The system was estimated to cost
s7o0o Oo but the delay of moro than
a year will bring the cost UP to $780,
900. The present pumping station,
which lifts the water from the James
River to the reservoir, Will be held in
reserve In case of accident to tire
gravity system.
Nc congratulate our sister city on
this splendid municipal enterprise
There is no greater blessing to any
city than n bountiful supply Of water
pure and clear, and tho blessing is en-
HANGED when the supply flows natural-
" in by force of gravity. Lynchburg
now becomes more than ever a de-
sirable place of residence.
Our friends in the Hill City will be
glad to know that Richmond will also
have IN the near future similar
blessing. Our settling basins>are now
in working order, and as soon as the
fumes are completed we shall have

pOPILAR RULE.

f
The Times-D Dispatch has great SYM
patiN with the people of Onancock,
who have suffered SO long from the
bad negro infliction. But as a defender
Of the law of the land we must pro-
test against the revolutionary action
of the Council in passing an ordinance
expeling eight negroes from the town.
The ordinance IS fragrant violation
Federal Constitution. and would not
stand a minute in court. If such an
ordinance were legal, the Council of
any town or city might designate any
citizens no matter what their race Or
standing might be, and legislate them
out of the community.
The members of the Onaucock Coun-
ell were actuated by good motives, but
they exceeded their authority, and they
should repeal the unlawful ordinance
at the first opportunity.
The incident shows how necessary
1t is to have organic and fundamental
laws to protect the minority from the
tyranny Of the majority. The people
are not always to be trusted In time
of popular excitement they sometimes
run riot and commit trespass. When
the mob gets its blood up and goes
on the rampage it may destroy life and
pronerty and commit all manner IF
terrible crimes before its anger is
eppeased. The mob spirit sometimes
asserts itself also in our Legislative
halls The people become aroused
and order the Town Council, the state
Legislature or the Federal Congress
to enact revolutionary laws. But the
Constitution forbids. and If in spite CT
the Constitution the lawmakers re-
spond to Popular clamor, the persons
affected by the unconstitutional en-
actments appeal to the courts and the
courts give protection.
How absurd. therefore, and how dan
serous is the principle of the init
alive and referendum. Suppose thcr,
were no organic laws, no power 10
restrain the people; suppoes ii were
within the power of the people to
enact on impulse ard enforce any Law
which the majority might take a fancy
to enact, without regard to establish
cd principles, without restraint by {

A Saving to the People.
The patent medicine industry is a
tremendous saving for the people 1t
enables the householder to purchase a
useful remedy, together with directions
and other medical advice, at a cost far
below the average price of a doctors
visit. Like the shoe factory. the wagon
factory, and the clothing factory, ii
lowers the price at the same time 1t
perfects the product.
The patent medicine business enables
families far removed from doctors, TO
avail themselves of the medical advice
of specialists, and TO profit by their
fSvorite prescriptions. All this is
brought to the home for a small frac-
ton of the amount it would otherwise
cost the people.
