DIR. Eakins and the Theatres.

LIT. EtAtAS alNk CA0 4LCebECS-
Pastor Eakins seems to be rather
tangled up in his argument about the
theatre. If the theatre were properly
managed, he says. it would be an
agency of good. The theatre is not
properly managed. he goes on, and its
influence is bad. He con cludes,
Good people, I am glad to see, do
not go to the theatre.
Maybe the last fact explains what
he chooses to consider the demoraliza-
ton of the stage. Managers do not
cater to the puritan element. because
if they did, they would starve. To
people like Mr.. Eakins, the theatre is a
kind of a bogie, an awful spectre of
evil. They know nothing about it, and
nothing will induce them to make
any sort of compromise with it. You
might dramatic Martha Finley's
'Elsie Dinsmore" stories, and make
every actress wear a celluloid badge,
and still you could not get Mr.. Eakins
to run the risk to his passions and his
morals of an evening before the foot
lights.
And so, as the theatres are severely
left alone by the too too good, they
naturally cater to those who claim
only the average of decency. respect
ability and religious feeling, and
these people, strange to say, find in
the theatre an elevating, ennobling
and purifying pastime. You see they
do not go to make all the evil they
can out OF what they see and hear,
but just to take it for what it is
worth as a presentation of truth or
beauty as it exists in real life or as it
appears to the poetic imagination.
/ AS for the poor opera bouffe girls
pedestals, the argument derived from
them is almost too old and cheap to
be considered. If DIR. Eakins would
only go and look at a ballet or two he
would think less ill of his neighbor
who is fond of grace and beauty and
color and life, and whose mind is not
sufficiently depraved to always
anatomize in search of the germ of
sin.
Anyway, the ballet in n shape or
another has existed from the days of
Ralneses and Esar Haddon; it has
figured in every civilization from
Pekin to Paris, from Athens to New
York. and we have no doubt it will be
enjoyed by the vast mass of average
healthy minded men and women in
the year 1892, in spite of the handful
of prudes and preachers who will still
rail against it. %

THE law breaking ruffians who voted

Pennsylvauja's Troops at Homestead.
Governor Pattison has at last or
dered outs the Pennsylvania State
militia to preserve order at Home
stead. He has done right in doing
this, just as he did right in waiting as
long as possible before doing it.
1t was the duty, in the first place, of
Sheriff McCieary to preserve order.
The Governor was right in demand
ing he should do SO. All the resources
of the civil arm, he insisted, should be
exhausted before he would call on the
troops. 1t is now evident that the re-
sources of the civil arm, as represented
by McCleary, are exhausted. That
precious sccundrel's idea of his duty
seems to have been to authorize the
descent of the Pinkerton thugs upon
Homestead. He secretly deputized
them, while he openly lied about it.
Whether through imbecility or DELHI
Grafton, he wholly failed to raise a
suitable civil posse to occupy the Car
negie works. At last he announced,
in SO many words, that he proposed to
do no more. and that if order was to
be preserved, the Governor must do it.
This, of course, left only one course
open to Governor pattison. He was
compelled to face the responsibility
rejected by the Sheriff, and call out
the troops.
Being compelled to resort to this
extremity the Governor is perfectly
right to put an overwhelming force in
the field. To,send five or six hundred
men or even a thousand would be
simply equivalent to inviting resist
ance and provoking bloodshed. The
surest way to prevent anything like
an outbreak is to muster an rel
whelming force, which will make re-
distance an 'absurdity on its face. We

Trades members will lift a finger
against the soldiers. So far as violence
goes. the Homestead troubles are
over. But now who is going to pre-
serve the homes Of the poor fellows
locked out by the Carnegie Trust ?
Where are they and their families go
ing to find bread?

Correspondence II Ftes Pres
New YORK, August %, 1892.
Dear Free Press The campaign in this
city is shaping itself well. The rank and
file stand together more solidly than for
forty years past, or since the Pierce and
King campaign of 1852, when both Demo-
cratic wings of Hards and Softs swept city
and State, and tidal wave bore the De-
mocracy into power.
1t is likely that at least 300, 900 votes will
be cast in this city at the coming election.
The vote here in 1880 was 1881, in 1884
it was 227, S47, and in 1883 it rose to 270,-
7S3. This mighty army Of citizen-kings is
overwhelmingly Democratic and the battle
for national victory is likely to be decided
right here. The duty and the power of
Tammany Hall are universally recognized,
and it is thrice fortunate for the Democrat
ic party that Richard Croker is the leader.
While his family are spending the summer
at Richfeld Springs, he himself only goes
there for day or two each week, and may
be found all day long at his post of duty in
Tammany Hall-a very Corliss engine of
executive ability-directing, watching, or
ganizing, receiving reports, strengthening
weak points, holding conferences with dis
tinguished leaders and statesmen from every
part of the Union, and difIusing his energy
and enthusiasm all through the Democratic
hosts for Cleveland and Stevenson.
Nh. Croker is a far-seeing, admirably
poised man, talks little and never boasts
He thinks the ticket will receive 10000
majority in this city. If it does, the State
is sure beyond the shadow of a doubt. In
deed with $4,000 majority here the State is
practically sure for the Democrats. How
it can be less than the last figure with such
herculean work as Mr.. Croker and his
lieutenants are doing, 1 cannot see after
scanning the field over with the most dis
passionate eyes. Reports from Brooklyn
also show good work for the national ticket.
Yours truly, J. F. Mel.
