them the freshly killed carcass of a doe,

protected from this thieving jackal. I
had killed the doe when he came up
and claimed half of the meat"
"Oh, king, the wolf is u liar from

indignation. AFTER q run of two or

when up comes the skulker of q wolf
and seeks to bulldoze me into dividing

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1896-02-19
"Nativisln" In Paris.

The directors Of the Paris Grand Opera,
in answer to criticisms that, although
subsidized, they were producing foreign
instead of French works, recently drew
up list by which they showed that
during the past 20 years they had
mounted 38 operas by Frenchmen and
only 6 by foreigners, the two outsiders
being Wagner and Verdi M. Maurel,
the Partisan critic, has. now carried the
statistics back to the beginning of the
century.
It seems that the last generation of
Frenchmen were not so particular as to
the nationality Of musicians. From the
year 1900 down to the present time the
Paris Grand Opera has produced works
by 100 French and 80 foreign composers.
On the other hand, it appears that only
1894 performances Of French operas
have during this period been given, as
against s, 149 representations of works
by foreign musicians. The French writer
laments that his compatriots preferred
foreign works, although in fairness it
should be said that the list probably in
cludes the operas Of Meyerbeer, Rossini
and other great masters Of a previous
generation, who, although not French
by birth, were practically Partisan by

LABOR, AGRICULTURE, CAPITAL

Report on Phillips Bill For a Com
mission to Collect Information.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The Phillips
bill for the appointment Of non-par-
tisan commission to collect information,
and to consider and recommend legisla-
ton to meet the problem presented by
labor, agriculture and capital has been
reported to the house. Accompanying
the bill is long report, which says
among other things that the commits
sion is designated to benefit the bust
ness men. The disturbed condition of
affairs has entailed great loss upon the
business community. The loss of 1884,
100000 in six years to the employees
shown in the tables presented by the
report, is, it says, but a fractional part
of that sustained by transporters, mer-
chants and others engaged in business
pursuits. Business men have and will
continue to suffer great depressions in
value and increasing losses unless a
better adjustment is made. Business
men need and business interests re-
quire, the report concludes, Just and
more satisfactory settlement of differ
ences with those with whom they deal.
and upon whose labor and products
successful business must depend The
better labor is protected in all its rights,
the better will be the security for earn
lngs.

Likeness of English and Americans.

AS respects character, the British and
American publics are strikingly at one.
The tone Of popular sentiment is much
the same. The attitude toward ques-
tions of general human interest is often
identical. Political ideals are, at bot
tom, not SO unlike as superficial observ-
ers fancy. Party spirit manifests itself
in very similar fashion. Both are sensi-
tive, though in slightly varying degrees,
to the same appeals. The same national
spirit animates both, showing itself in
quite characteristic fashion when the
jealousy of one is aroused against the
other. Indeed it is in their mutual rival
ries and jealousies that their spiritual
kinship is often most manifest. Their
diversity is superficial and provincial /;
their unity fundamental and racial
