Quiet at Rock Springs.

Governor Richards has received the
following report from Adjutant Gen.
eral Sitter, who went to Rock Spring,
to investigate the Chinese situation al
the coal camp:
There has been no trouble here
with Cinnamon and no cause for
alarm"
it is learned that General Stitzer's

only the metropolis but people every

others just as immoral and filthy are
on the stage ana that people are not
obliged Ia go and see it, which is about
the same as no defence. Whatever
the source of the attack on this play
and the actress says it is to sell yell
low journals, while some people say it
is to advertise the actress,-it is evil
dent that the test has come in a prob
lem which has long Interested the
theatre-g going public in this country.
How elastic Is stage art? How far is
it the mission Of the stage to hold the
mirror Up to nature? Assuming that
the purpose Of a plSy or an actress is
artistic. does that excuse the lewdness,
sensuality, ana nastines5 before the
footliShts?
There is no dsputing that the stage
has been and is now a civilizing and
uplifting agency among men. 1t is Il
remarkably effective moral teacher,
and clean. wholesome plays have as
good an influence as most sermons.
But the craze of managers for the al
mighty dollar too often Induces them
to put on productions that draw
crowds through catering to depraved
tastes and the baser side Of men and
women rather than plays which edu-
cate or uplift. It is the prostitution of
noble art when q great actress like
Miss NetheTsolc portrays a part which
brings down the singing condemna-
ton of every dramatic critic in New
York, ana which 50 outrages public
dccency that she and her manager ana
the leading manare brought in to court.
1t viii be q sad commentary upon
American law ana American morals if
this is allowed TO 50 unpublished, ana
il "SlDho" and its kind are allowed
upon our stage.
