MILLER, General Passenger Agent, Chicago A Thoughtful Editorial If it were not for the sweet reasonableness of the following editorial from the Atchison, Kas, Globe, one might imagine that its writer had some personal grievance against Lire’s i rate it is interesting the theory that criticism should be based on street gossip. MR. METCALPE The real tyrants of this world are not the kings, emperors, sultans, ete.; they are the dra- matic critics, and Mr. Metcalfe, dramatic critic of Lire, is the most tyrannical one of them all We greatly admire Lire, and buy it every week, but Mr. Metcalfe’s tyranny takes away so much from the pleasure the publication gives, that we have about concluded to give it up. We imagine that if Metcalfe should hear of a man {not agree with him as to a theatrical at- would feel justified in shooting the h all the greatest singers, tors and in the world appear in New York, in the ; ficent productions, the New.

If Mr. Met- calfe lived in a small town, he would find, by standing around the streets the day after a show at the theatre, that an attraction which suits one, does not suit another. However, New York seems to take Mr. calfe seriously. He was so disagrecable the theatres that the New York managers closed their doors against Lire. Then he induced Lire to go to law about it, and now litigation is drag- ging through the courts; Mr. Metcalfe. The dramatic critic on York Sux refused to follow the policy of the paper, and was discharged. Mr. Metcalfe is in a beautiful rage about that; Mr. Metcalfe has Lir Dluffed, bi 1e New York Sun , it discharged its Mr. Metcalfe has been raging in Lire for w s about it, the New York Sun will not take the dramatic critic back.
