New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-09-13

Recently old Fanuel Hall in Boston
rang with the patriotic utterances Of for
mer republicans who do not believe in
McKinley's expansive policy and Davis
theory that the United States were Or
damned by manifest destiny to take a
hand in the affairs of the orient. Among
the speakers was Gamaliel Bradford and
among the sentiments to which he gave
utterance was the following:
Let us try to picture the consequent
ces. 1t seems certain that the eastern
seas are to become a gigantic arena for
strife for the nations of Europe and
Asia. Wit. those islands we shall have a
hand stretched out among them for any
one either to grasp at or to strike.
When Germany took Alsace and Lor-
raine in 1870, it meant that she must re-
main armed to the teeth for two hundred
years to come. They have already cost
many times more than they are worth
from the material, not to mention the
moral side. With those islands we should
never have in the next century mo-
ment of security from foreign war.
We must keep our coast fortified from
Oregon to New Brunswick at a cost
which the Imagination reels to contem-
plate. We must have by the hundred
those marine monsters, the first cost OF
which would keep the poor of great
city in comfort for year. We must
have al immense standing army, Tor
which sufficient service would not al
ways be voluntary. And SO to a popula-
ton bowed down with debts and taxes
beyond what any nation has ever felt
WoRld come that last Of human niselies
an enforced military CONSUMPTION.
Prince Bismarck said that the whole
eastern question was not worth to Ger.
many the bones of one Pomeaanian
grenadier. The future welfare of seventy
millions of people, and Of institutions
on which the fate Of the world might be
said to depend, should not be sacrificed
for the uncertain relief Of one milllel
of a different race and under a different
government.

world. But Strauss at that time did not
feel quite sure whether his polka was a
full substitute for the omitted love duet.
and on the following day he brought in
a delicious waltz. These were the two
numbers of the opera that did most to
assure its success.
Strauss first composition was the waltz
"Sinngedichte," written when he was IL
years old. 1t did not convince the father
of his sons talents or else 1t aroused the
elders Jealousy; 1t is well known that he
made determined opposition to his son
becoming a musician. Perhaps the younger
Strauss did not understand his father till
he himself had become an old man and
had disinherited talented nephew solely
because he wanted to become a composer.
Strauss is described by those who knew
him as singularly naive soul and quite
Ignorant of the more serious side Of music
In his younger days, however, he is said
to have studied the science with teachers
of good standing.
One fruit of this study was i Sc, of seri-
GUS and learned church compositions.

subject to his teacher. The latter answered:

1t may be hoped that these will not be
utilized, as Suppes musical remains were,
in piecing together new operettas of which
the composer had no idea.

exceedingly fastidious, even to his last

Johann Strauss liked best to compose

associates in the game of taroc had gone
But his ideas came at no fixed period.
Johann Barndl,. many years conductor
at the Carl theater in Vienna, tells this
story of Strauss: At one of the last re-
hearsals of Strauss operetta Prince
Methusalem' 1t suddenly occurred to the
conductor that the theme in a certain
love duet was strikingly like a popular
song Of the day. Strauss did not know
the song. but thanked the conductor for
telling him, and promised to compose
another number In place of 1t by the next
day. On the way home a charming polka
theme occurred to him. called up, as he
declared, by the rafting of the wagon

the time he reached his house 1t was

which a very happy text was written,

numbers of the opera, the couplet known
