Delay Due to Indiscretion of Unite

police have not received orders to release
+. ]. p. Tynann, the Irish-American in
vincIble and alleged dynamite corspra-
tor, " no is under arrest at that place. The
London authorities are inclined to discredit
the dispatches received from Paris as
serting that Tynau's extradition to Eng
land has been refused by the French gov
ernment.
A dispatch from Boulogne to the Central
News says that the delay in setting lyman
at liberty Is due to the indiscretion OF
the Washington government in publishing
communication from Ambassador Eustis
stating that Tynan's release was certain
before n. Hanotaux. the French minister
OF foreign affairs, had answered Great
Britain's demand for his extradition.

..s..s -. the District urge the
FOX passage of the bill
authorizing them TO
DAA LAbON. construct public build
ings aud do other pub
lie work by day labor insteadof by contract
With such law in operation hard working
mechanics aud laborers would be at least
sure of getting their wages and would not
have to be satisfied with only Il part of
what is rightfully due them from some con-
tractor, as is again the case in the Stevens
school building matter. Tie contractor Tor
this work has defaulted in it several tunes
and upon each occasion The men he EN-
ployed have been the sufferers. 1t is not
sn very long ago since there was trouble
of this sort and now again tie contractor
has reached the limit of his financial ca
pality. Again, also, he is so far in 6ebt
to the men who have furnished material
and who VIII look 10 the Commissioners for
their money that after they have been paid
but little will be left for the workncn.
a law like that referred 10 above of course
would make such do.ngs impossible. The
Commissioners would themselves, through
the proper disbursng officer, control the
expenditures for material anu labor, and
mechanics as well as workiugmen would
get their dues promptly and regularly.
The latter would gam another advantage
Irom the change, for it is more than prob
able that the District would pay them more
generously than is ROW done by the coll
tractors. 1t is contcnded by some persons
whose experience in matters OF this sort
SHOULD render them competent to judge, that
the District would save money by the
ciiange,, but whether that is true or not,
the peoplc, at least have the satisfaction
OF knowing Ill at those who had done the
work were also getting paid for IL.
At the same time there is an alternative.
In the event Congress should fa!l to pass
such a law as is Cesired and desirable, II
might at least grant the Commissioners
authority TO take measures t. protect the
workmen on public works rs well as tie
men who furnish material for cUlStruo-
tion." Something should be done, SO that
the men who literally labor in the sweat
of their brows and upon whose modest
earnings maIiy mouths may lie dependent
