A FREE BRIDGE WANTED.

Whether at the Three Sisters or upon
the Aqueduct piers it is Of the utmost
importance that the National Capital
should be connected with Virginia and
the great South by free bridge at the
earliest practicable day. Time enough
has been spent in dickering about this
business to have built three or four
bridges, yet the project seems as far
from consummation as ever, and in
order to get 10 and out of Washing
ton-the seat Of government of the
greatest nation on earth-the people

private corporation. What age of the
world is this that we are living inY One

relics of barbarism, but IL seems not

THE CRITIC believes that, under the
circumstances, considering eligibility
of location, cost of construction and
convenience to the country, the
Aqueduct site is the best; but whatever
and wherever 1t be, the question should
lie expeditlously disposed Of. The
power of the Government should be
invoked to act with summary energy
on a matter of such concern, instead of
paltering session after session and
year after year about an expenditure Of
s200, 900, more or less, that the average
county seat of any State in the Unior
would have settled at one meeting ol
its board of supervisors.
