BERLIN, Feb. 0-ln the Lower House Of
the Prussian Diet today the Emperor's
civil list bill passed the second reading
after debate, in which the ProgrcssIsts
emphatically protested against the incrcas-
ing Of the imperial allowance by 3,jOo,0OO
marks. The minority against the bill in
cluded Richter, Munckel, llalbcrsiadt,
Ichmieder, Langcrhaus and Nirchow.
They had no difficulty in proving that tho
wealth Of the imperial family is already
enormous, the Emperor having at his dis
posal, not only his revenue Of l3,2jO,O)O
marks, but also other resources from his
family domains. The supporters Of the
bill included all the members OF the Gov
crnmcnt groups They could not show
any necessity for the increase Of the i'm.
peria income. They rested their demand
upon the argument that as the Empcrors
functions and work were increasing, his
revenue ought TO be enlarged. The En-
pcror, who took personal interest In the
urogrcss Of the measure, had Telegram
announcing the result sent TO him at
Potsdam. The temper Of the Government
majority was such that Il would have
voted much larger sum II requested.

A NEBRASKA IDEA.

The very general observance of Arbor
Day throughout the state was a notable
event of the past week. There were
few cities, towns or villages in which
this anniversary did not receive proper
recognition. The sentiment of the idea,
perhaps even more than its future prac-
teal value, seems to have taken strong
hold of our people and tree planting
and the observance OF tree planting
day have become assured for all time
to come.
That this is so ought to be doubly
gratifying to Nebraskans. The ma
terial benefits to be derived by a for
merly treeless state are large. Not
many generations hence will see our
prairies dotted with generous groves,
and the growth OF timber transferred
from the streams to hillside and plain.
Grateful shade from summers heat and
shelter from winters storms will, of
themselves, amply repay the time and
labor spent upon the care Of trees, with
out consideration of the fuel and lumber
supply which in years to come may rea-
sonably be expected from the sprigs
which school children and farmers
are setting out on the annual holiday.
But Arbor Day, wherever celebrated,
will for all time to come be inevitably
traced back to the Nebraska home where
the idea had its origin. and the feeling
of Just pride in its birth makes its ccle-
bratlon in our own state a pleasing and
patriotic duty. Our Nebraska City
correspondence tells of the impressive
ceremonies which attended the OBJ
servance of Arbor Day at the
home of its founder where
a general suspension of business, an i'm
posing procession and the speeches of
old-time friends and neighbors paid fit
ting and feeling tribute to the philan-
throphic idea of Mr.. Morton, which has
borne such luxuriant and benefcent
fruitage.
1t is not often that those who SOW
great or novel thoughts of general ap-
plication live to see the harvest unless;
indeed, immediate personal or wide
spread pecuniary gain is promised. Re-
formers must too often be content to
leave to others to gather the fully ripe
grain, while they remain satisfied with
the pleasures and pains of the labors of
seedtime. Mr.. J. Sterling Morton has
been peculiarly fortunate, as was well
said by DR.. George l.. Miller, in his ad-
dress at Nebraska City, in not only be-
ing the acknowledged originator of
Arbor Day in the United States, but in
living to see his benefcent idea
adopted throughout the entire country
as an economic suggestion of great and
growing value. He was fortunate in
the warm tributes of admiration paid
him under the shadow of the beautiful
home where Arbor Day was born, but
he is still more fortunate in the silent
tributes, which by hundreds Of thou
sands are yearly being planted in more
than score of states, and which for
generations to come will bear fruitful
witness to the value of Nebraskan' s

efforts are also being directed toward getting
Judge Groff appointed n member of tho
Interstate Commerce Commission. It Is
not possible 20 get both men appointed, but
in the presentation of their names Omaha
Is going on record in Behalf of two excellent
men,
Congressman Dorsey has incurred the
mortal enmty of the Fremont Flail. He did
not consult the editors wishes IN regard to
the postof1ice, and assumed the whole re-
sponsiblity of selecting the postmaster.
Truly, congressman's lot is not happy
one.
The Dakota City Eagle is ready to engage
in mortal combat with any liar of equal
weight Who disputes the claim that dakota
county has the largest corn, the finest cattle,
the biggest hogs, the richest lands, the best
schools, the fairest women and the bravest
men of any county in the state of Nebraska"
The Fremont Tribune pathetically sug-
gests that "the Nebraska land offices are
still manned with democrats, notwithstand
ing the fact that the republican adminstra-
tion is nearly two months old" The Tri-
bune couples it's mourntul plant with n hint
that Congressman Dorsey should keep his
promises.
heferrlng 10 the overwhelming ue1eat OF
prohibition and outlawry in Massachusetts,
the Grand Island Independent says: "All
sensible thinking men who are conversant
with the working of prohibition have become
fully satisfied that tho license plan is the
best that has yet been devised for the regu-
lation of the liquor traffic"
"Prohibition," says the Blair Pilot, "got a

ADJUSTMENTS IN OMAHA.

Omaha has long enjoyed the reputa-
tion of being one of the best amusement
cities in the country. With possibly
an exception or two, there is no other
city OF equal population that patronizes
dramatic and musical entertainments,
particularly of the better class, more
generously than Omaha. Abundant
evidence of this might be drawn from
past seasons and from the present, and
the fact Is fully appreciated by the
strongest and finest combinations in
the country, which now invariably in
clude this city in their routes as among
the most desirable points to be visited.
The season now drawing to a close, in
what it has presented ana has yet in
store, will certainly equal, if it does not
surpass, any previous season in the
number of superior entertainments pre-
sented, and we think it safe to say, also,
that it will prove TO be exceptional in
the extent Of patronage given to public
entertainments. A list OF the attrac-
tiOns that have visited this city will
include some of the most distinguished

STATE PRESS COMMENTS.

The Norfolk News.sheerfully asserts that
Boston "sticks like a brother to its baked
beans, brown bread and book beer" by some
so 600 majority. Ie5
''Congressman Laird's harp" says the
Hastings Democrat. ''has nbeen hung upon
the highest tree, for the present. He's all
right. He is getting 4stronR and healthy,
and is yery much like his old self again"
The Adams County Democrat has discov-
cred that the eyes of the hungry "are turned
to the best plums in western Nebraska, viz:
the McCook land offices. Among the most
hungry we notice Hon. Bill Brown, Of Cul-
bertson."
Says the Beatrice Democrat: "Paul Van
deryoort, the bottle. Scared veteran, who has
marshalled the forces in the railroad lobby
for years, has at last procured an appoint
ment. He is now mail carrier in Omaha,
or something to that effect"
''If Omaha gets nothing under this admin
istration," suggests the FrNnont Tribune,
with cool candor, SIT will be because that
city is part of state with a sure republl
can majority aud not because it is not am-
bilious. While the effort Is still being made

A WoRD OF CAnTION.

Before the board OF education takes
final action on the submission TO the
electors OF a proposition TO vote the
bonds deemed necessary for the erec-
tion OF school buildings, it should revise
its schedule Of new school houses and
estimate for proposed sites and improve
ments.
The citizens OF Omaha will not sane
tion the present enlargement Of the
high school building under any pre-
tense. That structure is and will be
ample for high school purposes for the
next ten years. Any change in its in
terror construction should be made with
view to Its being solely adapted
for high school and normal
classes. Instead OF expending seventy
five thousand dollars for an extension
OF the high school building, the board
should set apart the amount necessary
for the purchase OF an eligible school
site, within two to five blocks of the
high school square, and erect thereon
a modern sixteen-room school house.
Such n building need not cost over
forty thousand dollars; and for that
matter no school house should cost
more than that sum.
The policy Of the school board
should be to give schooling facilities S
to the largest number within our city
limits. Two twenty five thousand dollar
school houses are more desirable by far
than one fifty thousand dollar school
house, while two such school houses
will require more fuel and double the
ianitor service, they will be nearer the
homes of a larger number of children.
That should be one of the primary con-
siderations in the location Of projected
school houses.
1t strikes us thattwenty-five tn ousand
dollars for retaining walls and side
walks around the high school is an ex-
travagant estimate. Half that sum
ought to suffice.
The board has taken the right course
in sounding public opinion and it is to
be hoped it will act prudently in reach
ing its final conclusion.
