The Evening critic., 1882-03-11

AN INVESTIGATION of the mechan les
lien law of the District shows it to be en-
tirely inadequate for the protection of the
mechanics who do the labor or the persons
who furnish the materials out of which
houses are built. In fact, the law is de-
fusion and snare, and should be at once
changed, SO that the materials furnished and
the labor expended on building should be a
first mortgage following the building into
the hands of any purchaser. As the law
now is there is no protection for the me
chanic from any unscrupulous builder, un-
less be first investigates the title to the
property on which the building is being
erected. The attention of The CRITIC has
been called to this subject by some cases
of great hardship under the law as it ex-
lists. Almost every State has laws which
protect the mechanic in his hardly-earned
wages, and the attention of Congress is
called to the matter. 1t is too much to ex-
pect the satraps of our-and-a-half street
to attend to the interests of such common
people as mechanics, but The CRITIC is
here, and will look after these matters.
The Evening critic., 1882-03-11

THE CRITIC really believes that Mr.
Neal, the chairman Of the District Com
mittee Of the House, wants to do what is
needful and right for the people of the
District. He is too rich, and, it hopes, too
honest, to be corrupt, and the only trouble
is, that he depends too much on what the
Commissioners say. He should listen to
these governors of ours, but not allow them
to rule him. The people-the taxpayers,
and not the tax-eaters the toilers, and not
the revellers-should be heard and their
wishes be attended to. Mr.. Neal has ability
enough to determine what is best for us, if
he will examine for himself. OF course, in
looking about to see what is best, he will
have to sift the chaf from the wheat, but
he can readily do that, and if he does, he
will find none so prompt to accord him
praise as The CRITIC, the organ of the
people.

Rebuking ~ LickspittIe.

This Mornings Post.
Whoever, let us say by way of comment upon
and answer TO San Administration Repabli-
can" has become a reader of the Post with the
senile hope that he will ind everything TO
admire and nothing to displease In its col
umns, mightas well send in his ''farewells" at
once. The editors would have to quit taking
the paper themselves IL restricted to 50
narrow n circle, and we should hardly
expect subscriber to exhibit as
much fortitude as we feel able to
maintain upon desperate occasions. The Post
is pretty fair journal to be produced by an
unregenerate man with Democratic proclivi-
ties and ordinary associations, but 1t is not
held up as n Sabbath-school publication,
although much better fitted for juvenile minds
than much of the literature that reaches them.
Therefore, while we hope to retain the many
thousand Administration readers who now
derive amusement and instruction from a
perusal Of our columns, we cannot consent to
their company or their support under false

"A FRIEND of the President advises
me that sit will do 10 good to make war
on the District Commissioners, because the
President has fully made up his mind to
retain Messrs. Dent and Morgan until their
terms of office expire and as for Twining,
he will not be relieved till he asks to be-"
Very well; we never imagined anything
else. 1t never occurred to us that the
President would do anything in this direc-
tion-or much of anything in any direction.
But you must permit us the poor satisfac-
tion of uttering the public sentiment Of the
entire District of Columbia-with the ex-
ception of those persons who own lots on
Scott and Dupont Circles and Connecticut
avenue. However, Dents term expires
next July, and perhaps we shall be able
during the intervening four months to call
the Presidents attention TO that fact.
Thus you observe our purpose. But,
really, we don't like to be accused of har-
boring such an absurd thing in our mind as
a belief or suspicion that the President is
going to do anything. We are somewhat
reckless, it is true, but not quite SO visionary
as all that

Few other articles that are sold embody such
a large proportion of labor to material as the

that there are few things SO hard to do as to
get out n good newspaper, since 1t is in so
slight degree financial product, and so
largely depends for all its merit upon the
efforts Of individuals. The man who thinks
he can sell $19.4S worth OF paper and ink as

so, has an experience before him, and will
