An AnecdOte of Verdi.

The first production Of Verdi's Op.
era "Othello" took place at Milan. and
all the prominent musical critics Of Eu.
rope fofegathered in the Cathedral
City in honor of the occasion. Among
them was Partisan journalist of wide
reputation and admitted authority in
the musical world. His first care on
his arrival in Milan was to seek out
Verdi and ask to be allowed to be pres
ent at one Of the final rehearsals.
The composer received him with ex-
IRENE politeness, but replied that he
could not possibly grant his request,
as he had decided that the rehearsals
were to be absolutely private, and he
could not make an exception in the ia
vor of any one journalist, however dis
tinguished
The Paris critic, far from pleased at
this answer, protested that in these
circumstances his account of the opera
might not be all he should like it to
be. You see" he explained to the
composer. who affected not quite to
understand, II shall have to telegraph
my article the same evening. 1t will
necessarily be hastily written. and the
impression in Paris the next day may
suffer in consequence"
But Verdi Was more than equal to
the occasion. My dear sir" he made
answer, Il do not write for the next
day" The critic bowed himself out.

THE ROAD TO DISASTER

Germany's colonial failure as briefly
set forth in the last report of the Ameri-
can Consular Agent at Eibestock. con-
tsins lesson by which Congress may
well profit.
With an area of 1867 900 square miles
containing much fertile land and large
populations, the German colonies, one
and all, are far from self-supporting.
Their entire income in 1900 was SIS, 226. :
40, while their government expendi-
lures were s15,OO4, 1892, leaving detici-
ency OF $6,977 1929 to come out of the
pockets OF German taxpayers.
The cause of this failure are evident.
Germany has sent to her colonies mill
tary garrisons and civil officials. but she
has regarded them as mere markets to
be exploited for her own benefit. She
has not developed them industriallv. She
has failed to handle her relations with
them on the plan of mutual benefits
The result is reflected not only in tho
financial conditions above described. but
also in the fact that the German col

THE REPUBLICAN POLICY

Commenting on Mr. Bryans Jack
sons Day speech on ''Steadfastness" the
Kansas City Journal says: "The re-
publican partys motto is progress.
The republican policy is the true Amer
lean policy. 1t is the policy which recog-
nizes the great opportunities and grasps
them" The truth of the Journals latter
statement will be admitted to a certain
extent. The party saw an opportunity
to grasp few things in the Philippines
and proceeded to do it regardless OF
broken faith, violated constitution, and
ignored declaration of Independence.
The Journal remarks with great gusto
that 'the republican party does not
have to 90 back to jackson or jefferson
or any other ancient statesman for its
glory" Quite true. And it would be
foolish to do so. But it does 90 back into
ancient history for its precedent. 1t
quotes as authority for its attitude in
the Philippines the very language that
Lord North and King George uttered in
l775-'s4. 1t dare not quote the language
of dead and gone statesmen like Lincoln.
When tie republican leaders of today
begin quoting the "dead and gone states
men" the republican party will stand
convicted of having violated every prin-
ciple upon which the republic was
founded. Bryan's Commoner.

onies, after IS years have only $500
white men, of whom little more than
half are Germans
1t is this same general policy that the
Oxna.d- Payne class of statesman now
regard as ideal for the Philippines and
Cuba. 1t sends to the Philippines our
Army and civil officials, but would deny
their people the inspiring influence OF
American capital and enterprise and con-
denim their industries to stagnation and
themselves to poverty. 1t makes the
Philippines mere dumping grounds for
our products, and yet denies them that
rosperity which alone can make them
profitable markets. 1t alienates their
people from US politically by refusing
them contact with our industrial life,
and yet expect them to be contented and
loyal customers.
Simply as business proposition it
would be hard to imagine policy more
stupid and disastrous than that en-
bodied in the Payne tariff for the Philip
pines. 1t places us squarley upon the
German and French and Spanish road
of colonial failure.
The American people look to the SEN
ate and to the President to defeat the
Payne tariff and save us from a colonial
disaster which would be scandalus as it
would be humiliating.-Chicago Inter

Congressman Babcock has kept his
word and introduced a bill aimed at the
steel trust. In support of this action he
urges that the United Steel corporation
is able to sell its products at profit
abroad at less figure than to home
consumers. He says further, that the
bill effects only the steel and iron sched-
ule OF the Dingley act and that he has
been careful not to reduce schedule
where labor is the greatest part of the
cost of the article. There is no single
item in the bill, whether it provides that
the article shall 60 on the free list or
whether it remains on the dutiable list
that will in any way effect labor. 1t
affords ample protection where it is
necessary and places on the free list
those articles that are produced here
cheaper than they can be in foreign
countries. The bill is evidently intended
to leave no chance for the trust to carry
out its threat that if the tariff is removed
or reduced it will necessitate the re-
duction of the wages OF its employees. 1t
Is questionable whether or not congress
Is in mood to accept and pass such
legislation, but there is no question of
the sincerity of Congressman Babcock,
and he has the people back of him, even
ii the politicians are not so enthusiastic.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THURSDAY, JAN. 80, 1902
DOES IT NEED 1T.

Does the trust need protection? This
is a question that is forcing itself on the
attention of the people, despite the la.
bored attempts of the trusts and their
organs. Facts and figures are being
made public concerning the business OF
these Captains of industry" that compel
attention even from the most devout
apostles of protection. That the repub-
lcan party is in danger of serious dis
ruption over the mater is apparent to
the most casual reader of the papers OF
that party. when the measure advocated
by Congressman Babcock is referred to.
such papers as are accustomed to
sneezng whenever their party whip
takes snuff, such as the Seattle Post-ln-
telligencer, dispose OF the matter by ridi-
cuing Mr.. Babcock, in cheerful belief
that their readers will fail to note the
eulogies bestowed upon that gentle
men prior to the dawing OF a conviction
upon the minds of the trusts that the
remedy proposed by Mr.. Babcock was
really meant to act as a buffer between
the people and the eXtortions OF the
trusts. But there are papers of republic
can, as well as other party beliefs, that
have a clearer conception of the obiga-
tons OF newspaper than that betrayed
by journals of the "Yaller Dog" variety,
and among which may be noted the
Chicago Record Herald. In recent
issue that journal remarks.
After struggle OF nine months that
industrial infant, the United State
Steel Company, commonly called the
steel trust, announces that its net earn
ings for that period have been $S4,779,-
29S. 1t has earned enough to pay the
interest on its bonds for a year, to pay
regular quarterly dividends of | "a per
cent on its preferred stock and l per
cent on its common stock, and to have
left a surplus of more than $4,000, 900
According to Mr.. Schwab, the president
of the corporation, it sells steel abroad
at prices lower than those which it
demands in this country because that is
necessary to hold the market and be-
cause the foreign business is necessary
so as to give laoor constant employment.
Another necessity that is imposed by
these necessities is tariff which en-
ables the company to recoup from its
American customers for the benefit of
Labor. But how about the $40 900, 900
surplus, which seems to be part of the
charity? Does the trust need protec-
tion?"

TO SOUTH AERICA.

In almost every part of the world
agents of the British Government are
still buying horses and mules for service
in South Africa. Our Pacific Northwest
States have sold many horse. for this
service, and are still selling. Official re-
ports published by the British Govern
ment, showing the number of horses
and mules sent to South Africa during

The total number OF animals shipped
during the year was 1873, los. OF these
less than 5 per cent persisted on ship
board-a very remarkable minimum of
loss, under the trying conditions I'M
avoidable during long voyages in
the tropics. Nothing could so clearly
prove the excellence of this transport
service. Only one transport carrying
sos animals was lost
Never before in history was transport
service conducted on 50 great scale
From the outbreak of the war to March
81, 1901, the number of officers and men
sent to South Africa was 2S4, 100; the
number of animals, 229 $50. In addition
there were enormous supplies of mill
tary stores, ordnance, provisions and
equipments of all kinds. Perhaps the
only nation, besides Great Britain, ca
pable of an effort of this magnitude, at
such distance from home, is the United
States. Ready command of the money
necessary for such an effort is scarcely
within the power of any, save these two.
