A Girl Dentist,


had the pleasure of having tooth filed
by girl dentist the other day. The word
pleasure is used to some extent advisedly, for
there were pleasant things about it. She was
very pleasant to look at, with brown eyes
and brown curly hair, for one thing, She was
very pleasant spoken, and she had small fin
gers that went easily In the mouth. She was
a sympathetic creature, too ana had all man
ner of ingenious contrivances for making un-
pleasant processes rs little unpleasant as pos
sible. She had very tastefully furnished par
lors for receiving llnfortunates. There were
fine pictures on the wall aud some new books;
there Were art portieres, and there was the girl
dentist herself
She used 10 be q clerk for an importing
house, writing the French and German letters
for the firm. She clerked II till she satisfied
herself there was no future in that; then she
went TO dental college and now she is estab-
fishing herself In the city. She says she likes
her business and feels thoroughly at home In
It, and her business, so far, seems TO like her
1t is her testimony that even In a dentists
chair man can't resist the temptation to try
10 hirt, and that she has had big eyes enough
made at her from over Il big white napkin L
shake any nerves not thoroughly steady
"Apd what do you do in such cases?n was the
query, 'Let him proceed till get well started
at work, and then he usually has something
else to think Of A man can't nrt with
drill getting In It's fine work In a sensitive
cavity, But most of my patients are womel
and children" she concluded New Yorl
Letter.

COMMISSIONER WHEATLEY is Of the
opinion that the revenues of the Dis
trct will warrant an abolition of the
water tax, and he has prepared bill to
the effect that after June 30, 1889, there
shall be no tax for the use of water
This Is a movement which THE CRITIC
has often agitated and advocated, and
we are glad to see that Mr.. Wheat
ley has taken the initiative in bring.
ing about this much needed reform.
There is no reason why water should
not be as free to the citizen as the light
and air he enjoys. The cost of main
tanning the works should be covered by
the general levy and our people deiv-
cred from the burdensome and not in
frequently extortionate rates to which
they are now subjected. The Commits
sioner will have the Endorsement of the
whole community in the measure which
he has undertaken, and his efforts de-
serve to be crowned with success.

WASHINGTON, AUGUST 1, 1888.
THE MOUNT VERNON ExroRrIoN

If there iSone thing that ought to be
more free than another to the American
people, it is the tombs of their illustrious
dead.
This is the theme of n communication
in the Post to-day in which the writer
treats the subject with patriotic fervor
and argumentative force. 1t would
seem to need no argument-so plain a
proposition-yet we have been so long
and systematically imposed upon in the
premises as to consider ii matter of
course, and it is only now and then that
somebody, upon the exasperating spur
of the moment, ventures to enter pro-
test.
Mr.. Turner, the Posts correspondent,
covers the ground with completeness,
and makes it very apparent that the ad-
mission system, as practised at Mount
Vernon, the grave of Lincoln and other
resting places of departed greatness, is
system by which the public are aeeced
and the country disgraced.
In the case of the Washington estate
he quotes q Virginia statute to show
that the Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa
ton can charge each visitor but twenty
five cents; yet even this odious law IL
continuously disregarded, and as a con
sequence thousands of people annual!
are barred out of the most sacred spo
in the Union because of their inabilit.
or unwillingness to be charged a dolla
for the privilege of seeing the home
stead and grave of the "Father of hi
Country"
The Association deserves credit TO
what it is doing and what it has don
with the monies thus collected. Wha
is to be complained of is that any asso
citation, no matter how exalted its me
tives, should ever have been permitte
to do for our American Mecca,a at the ex
pense of visiting pilgrims from all part
of the Union, that which clearly dc
wolves upon the Government of tn
United States.
Is it not high time that Congress com
to the rescue, and if it cannot buy tn
association out, at least relieve it by az
propriate legislation Of its pecuniar
responsibilities and make provision fc
opening this hallowed shrine to tn
free worship of the people2

WARMING,
Note Forty-seveu babies have been
named for Ben. Harrison since his nomina-
tion.
oh parents think before you act;
For in your mad endeayor
To call the turn, you may do that
Which you'll regret forever
The crop Of babies which this year
Are sweet as fields of clover,
Should neither have the name OF Ben,
Nor have the name Of Grover.
Your party pride may be superb,
But you will please remember,
That what Is party pride to-day,
May tumble in November

its hands. Jay Gould has gone into it.

Oh, Belva dear,
We gravely fear,
That wrongly you have trusted,
And now, erelong,
That, woman wrong,
Your chances will have busted.

This Leonard, she
Whom you have lately taken,
Is of her base
On social grace,
And is by ladies shaken.
Good Susan b.,

And others quite emphatic,
Her views pronounced,
Have all renounced

AS women may,
And tenderly as could be,
That Cynthia is
Right down to biz
No better than she should be.

but if It be true that all the big mil
lionaires and all the Anarchists and all
the Mugwumps and all the people are

Now THERE IS JUTE bagging trust"
and prices have jumped up from cents
to II cents per yard within the last fort
night. AS about 50,0OO,0O0 yards are
used annually by the cotton-raisers of
the United States, this advance means
to them loss of $2,0OO,0OO. The bag
makers are evidently determined to i'm
prove their opportunities. The Mills
bill places jute on the free list.

SENATOR SHERMAN will not deliver the
address of welcome at the Blaine re-
ception in New York.
The Washington critic., 1888-08-01

THE CRITIC agrees with Assessor Fish,
unreservedly, as to the impolicy and in
Justice of the personal tax laws in this
District-that they are "inequitable,
inouisitorial and offensive" 1t was so
with the old income tax, which answered
a certain purpose in the trying times of
the country, but which bred more per-
jury and resulted in more evasions than
any law ever on the statute books, thus
making it all the more an onerous and
unequal burden to those who rendered
faithful returns. But as the District
law now stands it is still worse, and
under present circumstances its
enforcement at what Mr.. Fish well
terms "preposterous' rate of interest
can but result in many hardships and
serious detriment to the best interests
of the District. 10 insist upon taxing
loans on real estate will affect invest
ments amounting to millions of dollars,
and, of course, occasion either the with
drawal OF much-needed capital or work
injuriously to borrowers. Nothing can
be palmer. Were it not better for Con-
gress, instead Of leglslating for tho con
tinued enforcement of this law, to radi
cally amend or absolutely repeal itH
