pBosTlTuTING the PLAYHOUSE.

An article in the current number OF
the American Magazine is particularly
bold in its plainness of discussion ana
daring IN quotation from the dialogue
of plays which are having the greatest
vogue. Indeed, as one critic OF the ar
ticle nut II there are about as many
blushes in the critique as in the plays
MIR. Adams, the author, always Tree OIL
pen has taken larger liberties that re-
ouire the justification OF emergency,
and it must be confessed that the JUS
tification of the writer and the maya
zine is complete in view OF the quota
lions furnished and in view of the sat
nrnalia of indecency which has taken
possession of the playwrights and in
which the playgoing public has ac-
cepted place and partnership by its
patronage.
Mr.. Adams analyzes these plays.
some of which have been given in the
reputedly decent playhouses OF Iowa
and featured by managers who it would
seem forgot their responsibility to the
public and the stage when they booked
them. Much of the action described by
NIr. Adams and many of the colluquies
nuoted are mere vehicles for the vilest
suggestion and would have been
stopped by the police in variety the
alter of a couple of decades ago when

erims of suggestiveness and theatrical
filth.
The law passed by the last Iowa leg

ought not to have been necessary. 1t
As incomprehensible that men whose
friendship is priced and whose names
are respected in decent communities
can book such fragrant and vicious
PLAYS to be offered with all their pru-
riency to their friends and neighbors
and unfortunately to young and old
more astonishing that these same
friends and neghbors, fathers and
mothers, betake themselves TO these
plays and in company with their chill
dren and the children of their neigh
bors make a two hours study of the
baser passions, listen to shameless dia-
logue and watch a coarse and vulgar
analysis of the sex problem presented
in its lower and even its lowest as
poets.
Adams critique on the loose play
comes close to the line we draw agains'
the printed page but falls short of the
license we have permitted the spoken
line. AS notwithstanding to Shake.

A NEW ENGLAND VIEW.

The New Haven Register is one Of
our New England contemporaries that
can look at a crime without giving
1t sectional turn. The recent lynch
ing at Cairo. 1t says, was about as
insane. horrible and altogether exc
cradle a lynching combination as this
Yet Cairo is not Southern commun-
ity, and the worse of the two crimes
done in the iynchink spasm had a
white man for its victim. In the face
OF such an instance there is renewed
reason for the admission that lynch
outlawry knows no section or state or
color. 1t is the work of the mob, and
such work is execrated by law-abid-
ers OF every State and section"
That Is the proper way to look at
the affair. The Iynching at Cairo
was neither better nor worse than
many that have taken place in the
South. The offence which brought
about the lynching was OF the kind
that not infrequently happens in a
Southern State, and sometimes in the
North and West. The outrage was
perhaps more brutal in some of it's
aspects than usual, but it was of a
nature that we of the South have too
often had to deal with. In some par
ticulars the action OF the mob was
more outrageous than such affairs
usually are. but at the bottom the
whole affair was not altogether un-
usual A white girl was outraged
and murdered by a negro brute and
tht people put him to death. But
they went still further and lynched a
white man also. That is one point
OF difference in this case.
The Register in the extract quoted
may seem contradictory and anoma-
lous at first thought. 1t Is when IL
says. in abiding to the work OF the
mob, that such work Is executed by
law-abiders of every state and sec
ton" We say it may appear like a
contradiction in terms to say that
law abiders" would be guilty of
lynching a human being. but there is
really nothing contradictory about IT.
In all probability the great majority
of the men who constituted the lynch
ing party at Cairo were as peaceful
and law-abiding under ordinary con-
