IT is reported on creditable authority
that the government will make many
needed improvements this year in the
National Yellow$bne park. New roads
are to be built aud the convenience OF
the visitors to tits wonderful region is
to be consulted sat every turn. The
popularity Of Yellowstone park is bound
to increase everySear. 1t will one day
become Americas great recreation and

LASTING MONUMENTS.

The charge that the American people
are peculiarly given to materialism,
that money-getting is their chief aim,
and that society is organized largely on
that basis, is not wholly unwarranted.
1t would be easier to give proofs in de-
Tense of this charge than in denial of it.
But there occasionally happens, ana
the occasions are becoming more fire.
quent from year to year, instances of
generous philanthrophy on the part of
wealthy men which show that not all
OF those who have abundant means are
thinking of nothing else than swelling
their accumulatlons. The examples OF
munificent public benefactions that are
of comparatively recent occurrence are
evidence that men of wealth do feel
concern for the intellectual and moral
welfare of society, and for the elevation
and improvement Of the masses of the
people.
The man who makes generous be-
quests In the interest Of society to be
used after his death has q claim to be
honorably remembered. But he is
wiser who gives while he is living, for
he may learn with what gratitude his
good deed is received, and witness the
benefit it accomplishes. Lick, who
endowed the observatory which bears
his name, had the privilege Of
seeing the fruits of his generosity.
Springer, who gave Cincinnati its
grand music hall, was permitted to en-
Joy its benefits. Leland Stanford. whose
magnificent endowment Of a university
surpasses any other gift made by an
American, will perhaps live to see his
great work fully accomplished. Amasa
Stone, who gave nearly million dol
lars to found Adelbert college at Cleve-
land, o., lived to see that institution in
full operation. Leonard Case, another
wealthy man of that city, made pro-
vision during his life for school of
rank among such institutions. Within
few weeks another wealthy resident
of that city has given two hundred
thousand dollars to various charitable
institutions. The muniticent gift OF
several million dollars by the late Mr..
Williamson, of Philadelphia, to estab-
| lish an industrial or trade school, is a
recent example that all wealthy men
are not unconcerned for the welfare OF
society. The latest instance is the gift
| of one hundred and fifty thousand dol
| lars to the university of Minnesota by
| Ex-Governor Pillsbury.
| Omaha millionaires, IT is to be said
regretfully, do not appear to have yet
been touched by this spirit OF generosity
With the exception OF the late Edward
| Creighton this city can contribute nc
name to the list OF great public benefac
tors. Omaha ought not to much longer
continue in this condition of unenviable
isolation, There are men here who
can spare share Of their millions fol
the public benefit, and they ought to dc
SO. Perhaps some OF them have planned
to leave something after them, but VIII.
not 40 something while living and en-
Joy witnessing the good that comes o
1t. There are ways in which some o
our wealthy men could employ q part o
their means that would give them q
lasting monument and be Of immeasur.

sary to urge upon the people OF this
state the Importance OF q Jealous OBJ
servance of this holiday. What has
been accomplished through it for Me-
brasl<a is matter familiar to all, and
there remains to be done vastly more
than has been accomplished, from which
still greater benefits are certain to How.
From n practical standpoint there is no
duty in which the whole people OF the
state could unite on one day of the year
that would result more largely to the
permanent welfare of the population
than that of tree planting. The exam
pie set by Nebraska has been followed
in most of the states, where Arbor day
has become, as here, a recognized holi-
day.
Besides the practical value OF this
holiday, it makes an appeal also to the
finer sentiments. 1t has dis
tinct and peculiar character, the ten
dency of which is elevating and re-
fning. 1t has been we'll said that holi-
days that take root in the family and
appeal to the tenderest associations OF
social fraternity promise the best fruits.
Such holidays as Decoration day and
Arbor day mark the growth of general
refinement among the masses, and the
sentiment and fraternal associations
which such days inspire should be cul-
tivated. Every tree planted tomorrow
in this spirit will not only bring prac-
tical good with its growth, but may
have u refining and ennobiing influence
no less to be priZed.
