neither should be sacrificed on the altar OF
the business counter. The paper that pros
titutes its news columns to the uses OF Its
business department, that supplies its cor
poreal life with blood at the expense OF
brain tissue, that puts its official utterances
on the market, will soon deserve not even
the little respect it can exact.
The club informally discussed the ques-
ton at some length. While it was unani-
mously the sense of those present that the
dramatic critic should honestly and fear
lesslv do his work. it was held that some
little latitude should be given in this part of
the country where the amusement run was
not very prolific.

Detroit Free Press: A stranger who en-
tered saloon near the ferry dock the other
day to make some inquiry found seven or
eight old lake captains sitting around the
stove and chewing away on cheap plug of
tobacco. The newcomer had not yet opened
his mouth when an old gray-headed captain
gave start of surprise and exclaimed:
''Well, may be drowned! Why-why,
has the dead returned to life! Can it be that
l see you once mOreE"
He sprang up and rushed over and seized
the strangers hand, and while he shook it
up and down and sideways and at seven
different angles he continued:
'.Ah! Tom, 1 thank heaven for this!
When 1 saw you go overheard off Sturgeon
Point 1 looked upon you as goner. Gents,
this is my old mate on the schooner Plover.
He wants to know what you'll take"
The crowd walked up to the bar. The
stranger seemed dazed and demolished. His
name wasn't Tom, and he never sailed, but
he didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
He therefore paid for the drinks. This had
scarcely been accomplished when another
captain rushed at him with:
''Oh! [ remember you now! Excuse me,
Tom, old boy, but Pm growing old. Yes, it
all comes back to me now. Don't you re-
member the night saved your life in Sagi-
nav bay? That was a close call for you,
old boy, but pulled you through. Drink
with you? Why, of course! Whatu you
take, gents?"
Each gent mentioned his little preference.
and the daZed and embarrassed stranger
again footed the bill.
tom of the Plover, eh?" queried third
captain as he wiped off his chin. s'Let's
see, but you are the very chapI took off the
wreck in Lake Erie? Why, of course you
are, and I'd almost forgotten the circlm-
stancel Tom, me boy, shake! 1 never was
so glad to see man. Ii you say drink with
you my-why-"
But Tom kicked over chair, sent big
spittoon flying after it, and rushed out doors,
crying:
'tFll be hanged if you can play that string
game on me again!'

ETHICS OF CRITICISM.

The Press Club Discusses the Gues-
tiOas of w riting Up Public Plays.
Yesterdays regular meeting of the
Minneapolis Press Club was an nusu-
ally large one, the result, undoubtedly, of
the intimation that one of the members had
promised celebration" The paper of
the meeting was read by II. 7. Black, of
the GLOBE, on the Relation of the News
Department to the Business Department,
with special regard to Amusement Adver-
Users. The line of the argument was that
the dramatic critic should pursue his work
with candor and truth, uninfuenced by the
fact that any amusement was a large patron
of the advertising columns of the paper.
Advertisers. generally, and amusement
caterers particularly, are too anxious to get
the earth, and, getting the worth of their
money in their advertisement, want the free
use of the news columns besides. The
paper speaking of dramatic criticism in
the abstract said;
REPORTER AND CRITIC.
The reading public, which relies
upon the newspaper for an answer to
the question, shall [ go to the
theatre tonight? or, is the opera worth
hearing? expects at least candor and truth.
and it is clearly the duty of the writer who
5 recognized as the critic to furnish both
He is not expected to do this by crushing
rebuke on the one hand, or by fulsome
tlattery on the other, but by means
of an analysis of the play and an exposition
of the good and strong with the weak and
the bad points make such a presentation of
the play and cast as will enable readers to
form their own conclusions. There is a
distinction between the critic and the re-
porter at the play. The latter merely re-
fleets the impressions produced upon the
audience, he is the mirror that truly and
honestly gives back the scenes enacted be-
fore it. The critic is the educated spectro-
scope, no less truthful than the mirror, but
through which play and players must pass
tor analysis. The smile is a good one. No
mechanical imperfeetions must mar the
work OF the spectroScope and no personal
bias or individual prejudice or popularity
must warp the Judgment of the critic. -
The conclusion of the paper was:
THE CRITICS DUTY;
whether as a patron of the business de-
partment, or whether simply as a subject of
newspaper work should the amusement
writer be governed by any real or fancied
effect his work may have on the business of
play. l should say not. His first duty
is to the reading public and 1 am clearly of
the opinion that his work, if it have any
pretension whatever, should be as nearly
an unerring guide as his ability can make
it. The confidence and respect of its read
erS is a papers first consideration and
