WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 4.


THE CRITIC fully agrees with "a A.F." that
delay is deplorable. The responsibility OF the
War Department and Department OF Justice,
however, extends only over the period since
tho Canal Company agreed to sell the piors.
Since this time, as apparently every effort has
been made by both Departments, neither
can be blamed for the failure OF tho company
TO furnish a satisfactory title. The fault
plainly lies with Congress, which has shown
not the slightest interest In the matter since
the act OF 1881, when $4,000 was appro.
prlated. On April A., 1882, the President sent
special message to Congress, inclosing q let
ter from secretary.Lincoln recommending an
appropriation OF $4,000 to carry Into effect
the act OF o previous year. The approprla-
tlon was not made. Last session another at
tempt 10 appropriate money was made,
but failed. Unless our Legislators take moro
Interest in tho free-brldge question than they
have done we may continue to pay tolls IN

The wonder Is, not that mista kes
occur in newspapers, but that they
occur so seldom. When the hurry
il which daily journal is gotten up
Is taken into account, it seems as
tonishing that daily paper should
not he full OF biunders every issue.
People admire the ingenuity of the
man who with thousands Of bits OF
coinred glass makes what is known
az the Roman mosaic. But the man
spends years at his task. and If he
does misplace few bits of glass the
mistake passes unnoticed. The pages
OF type from which paper is print
ed are the most wonderful mosaics
III existence. A paper contains hun
drcds Of thousands of minute lead
pieces, and If any one of them
is misplaced or turned upside
down, everybody notices it in the
paper. This extraordinary mosaic,
which IL made every day, would be
one Of the wonders of the world il
we were not so accustomed to it.
