Charles Frohman, who is in Paris ne
gotiating for the production in New York
next season of Sardou's ''SorceresS," La
Montansier" The Gallant King and
Brother Jacques" says that the people
of this country are tired of the trashy
French plays. Said Mr. Frohman:
Il think the American stage is getting
farther and farther away from needing
the talents of the French authors Never
did American and English dramatists
have such a chance to find market for
productions as today.
The French apparently believe that no
interest centers about two persons until
after they are married. We are all ia
miliar with the results.
With us we believe the most interest
ing epoch is during the engagement days,
the experience of wooers, their trials and
tribulations being always wholesome and
interesting. There is the ancient proverb,

Don't Forget the Issue.

We are nos very much impressed
with Mr.. Milburn's address ''To the
People of South Carolina in regard
to the repor3 of the Investigating Com
mittee, appointed by the Legislature
to inquire into the quality Of the work
done on the State House. Mr.. Mil
burn knew when he entered into his
contract with the State what amount
Of money would be available for the
work in hand, and the question with
which the Investigating Committee
had to deal, and upon which the
Courts will probably have to pass,
will not be affected in any degree by
the fact that Mr.. Milburn had been
engaged in public work for eighteen
years, and during this period has
erected from thirty-fve to ffty-fve
buildings year. The question is not
relative, but positive. 1t has nothing
whatever to do with any other pablic
work with which the architect in this
case has been associated, but is con-
fined, and ought to be confined; solely
to the manner in which his contract
for the completion of the State House
was carried out.
Mr.. Milburn's offer to give 81, 600 to
any charitable institution in the State
if the Legislative Investigating Com
mitteee, or any other, will prove that
he has been party to any fraudulent
proceedings whatever, is not convinc-
ing upon any of the matters at issue
in this case.
The most abundant opportunity
ought to be afforded the architect and
the contractors for the production of
testimony which will show that they
have kept their engagements. The
matter has passed beyond the form
of newspaper discussion, and can be
settled now only through the Courts.
The character of the men composing
the Capitol Commission is not ct
issue, but the character Of the work
done on the State House. Let US keep
that fact clearly in mind.-News and
Courier.
