SENTIMENT IN
THE UNITED STATES,
Disnay and Distrust Shown by German
Press-Bo h Governments Expect a
Satisfactory Arrangement.

Emperor to-day, the United States Am
bassador, Mr.. Andrew d. White. passed
an hour at the Foreign Office.
1t is generally believed that an under
standing has been reached which is like
ly to bring about an amicable and satis-
factory solution of the whole Samoan
difficulty.
A semi-official note published this
evening, says:
THE German proposal to dispatch to
SamoG a high commission consisting Of
a special Rlenipotentiary from each pow
or is regarded by the American Govern
ment as being suitable to the purpose
in view. President Mckinley. through
the Ambassador, expressed surprise and
deep regret when he heard the news of
the collision at Apia, and the Amcricam
representatives at Samoa was instructed
geographically to take every care to pre-
serve the status quo without future CON
fiict."
THE AMERICAN POSITION.
Washington, April 1.-The new pro-
posal referred to in the Berlin dispatch
us HaNlHS Decu dCCcliltu ~ All luItc
Governments. is that for joint high
commission, that being the only PROPOSE
tion NOW pending. Ambassador Whites
call on the German Foreign Office was
doubtless to express the favorable view
which this Government takes Of the pro-
posed settlement.
The American Government has made
no explanation to Germany regarding
any future of the Samoan affair, save
to set forth the American position. This
Government has not thought its action
required any explanation further than to
express regret that there had been Il
collision at Samoa. At the same time
the opinion is expressed that there would
have been no hostile action had not the
American authorities at Samoa felt IT
was imperative.

New York Post: The theatrical man
ayers who maintain that the pursuit
OF high art in their profession means
bankruptcy will rejoice to hear that the
Theater Francais is in pecuniary diff
culties, and may have to close its doors
: for awhile. The value of the member
ship shares has fallen by one-half since
last year, when already it had sadly
dwindled. There seems to be posi-
bility that M. Claretie may be forced to
resign his dictatorship. He is charged
with being over-exacting in his choice
of plays and over-liberal in his treat
ment of the younger performers. His
critics sigh for the good old times of
M. Perrin, who grudged even living
wage to beginners, while compelling
them to pay for their costly costumes
and who, by this and similar means,
always contrived to have a good divi-
dend for the societaires. OF course, the
famous house is not suffering on ac-
count of NJ. Claretie's cultivated taste.
The trouble is that it is now expert
encing the i'll effects of the narrow and
cheese-paring policy of NJ Perrin,
which prevented the Francois from
maintaining all it's old superiority over
rival houses and alienated public
favor. 1t is reported that many of the
best-known performers, including LIE
Bargy, Truffler Nine Bartet and
Martha Brandes, are about to retire.
No doubt these losses will be serious,
but an infusion of new blood may be
very beneficial.

A good joke; is told on committee

Having been informed that it was de-
sirable to cut down expenses, he rose
to suggest that as some of the critics
had complained of the destruction of
the balance of tone by the surplusage
of brass, it would be advisable to cut
down the three trombones and four
horns to one apiece. It is to be feared
that the point of this joke may not be
obvious to some concert-goers. where
fore it may be advisable to explain that
the three trombones and four horns

1t is well known that Beethoven was
obliged to change his abode very often

not only his nephew but his house
keeper very rudely, and noisy ouarrels
were frequent The piano, too, was a
great source of annoyance, as the deaf
composer used to bang away at it un-
mercifully. The neighbors finally COM
planned that they could not endure it
any longer, whereupon the owner of
the house called her daughter and said
60 and tell the old fool to leave the
premises: whereupon Beethoven pack

Nance O'Neii, the young American
tragedienne, will come to the Clunie
Opera-house next Sunday, November
18th. for a six nights engagement. This,
will be the most important dramatic
event of the season-an event anxiously
awaited by lovers of the classics. Miss
O'Neil is now conceded to be one of the
greatest of American tragediennes. In
Washington. d. c., her success was i'm
mediate. In New York it was surpris-
ing The critics exhausted their SUI
perlatives in her behalf. 1t became

Miss O'Neil In the heaviest roles sne
has been most successful. Although
this season she is also playing some of
the classical comedies, from all ac-
counts her success in the lighter roles
is as pronounced as in the heavy ones.
Miss O'Neil's rise has been one of the
quickest of recent memory. In five
years she has run the gamut from nov
ice to star. Only Mary Anderson made
her hit so young and so soon after her
start. Miss O'Neil has not only met
with the greatest success in all the
lrage cities of the United States, but
last summer she appeared inLondon
and was received with bravo" Her
success on the other side was a positive
triumph. The brilliant repertoire this
gifted young woman will present for
her coming engagement is as follows:
Sunday, "Magda"; Monday, the new
Camille, Sara Bernhardt's version
Tuesday. Peg Wellington; Wednes-
day. THE Shadow; Thursday, THE
School for Scandal, and Friday, The
JeWess."

without being either vulgar or sugges
tive-clean and replete with many new
attractions. Special attention is called
to the vocal and musical numbers. The
company this season is composed of

as many hits as any baseball star. They
carry one of the finest minstrel bands

Single Tax Thuries.,


The single tax lecturer, ]. r. Her.
man, who was born at Rowley, Ruchan-
an county, and whose parents still live
there, was heard at the court house in
this city by a fair sized audience last
Friday night. Mr.. Herman, who is,
state lecturer. for the Missouri Single
Tax League, stated that the name
ssingle tax' is somewhat misleading,
that while the name signifies the
simplicity of the theory, yet it is only
the central truth around which great
many other noble ideas cluster. To be
brief, one theory is this; we hold with
the Declaration of Independence that
all men are created equal, that all have
equal rights, that among these rights is
the right to live. AS no man can live
without land, all men are therefore
equally entitled to the use Of land, and
any adjustment of laws relating to land
which denies this principle is morally
wrong, no matter how time honored
that law may be. In order therefor to
secure all men in this equal right to
the use of land, we hold that land val
ues are the product of the presence and
industry of all the people and that in
order to secure to all men their just
rights to live, it is necessary to
take this public value for public
purposes, but what q man makes
over and above this value is his individ.
ually and the public has no right to it.
Thus we propose raising all revenues
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1899-12-20

-
for pubic purposes, taking the rent Of
land for taxes, etc But in considering
their rent, we will not consider the i'm
provements on the land, merely the val
ne of the raw material. or location
value.
We claim this would raise ample
revenue for all public purposes and
would relieve industry from taxes, and
greatest of alt.benehts, there weuld be
no object in any one holding a single
footof land unless they used it. This
would throw upon the market vast
amount of land now held idle for spec.
ulative purposes. And no man would
work for another for less than he could
get working for himself upon land OF
his own. This would raise wages and
as all great fortunes and trusts have
their foundations in land monopolies,
it would strike the roots of trusts. ~
