ARBOR DAY.
A PROCLAMATION.
BY the Governor.

The statutes of our state wisely declare that
the Governor shall annually set apart day in
the spring as Arbor day, for the planting OF
trees, shrubs and vines. Shade trees and
scrubs add much to the beauty of our cities
and villages and to the comfort and elegance of
our homes. To the end that their planting
this day has been established. l therefore APP
point Monday, the 10th day of May next, to be
observed as Arbor Day. and / recommend that
all the people of our state show commendable
zeal in promoting the objects for which this day
is designed. by devoting the time to planting or
namental trees and shrubs along their streets,
In public parks and other places and around
their homes.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The tariff bill reported to the Senate by
the finance committee is so different in
many respects from the bill passed by
the House that it is fairly entitled to be
called new measure or course many
of the changes are unimportant. but
there are many also of great Importance.
Notable among the latter are the transfer
of hides from the free TO the dutiable
list, the reduction Of the rate on Ohio
wool and the increase of the duty on low
grade woods; the imposition of q duty on
lead ore, alduty on anthracite ooal; an
increase of the internal revenue tax on
beer and tax on tea. 1t is admitted
were made to secure the vote of Senator
Jones Of Nevada which was necessary to
report the bill to the Senate. The duty
on hides and thntson lead ore, and the
raising of the rate on low grade wool are
undoubtedly his work. The majority of
the changes made by the Repu blican
members appear to be in the direction
of diminishing the rates as fixed by the
ways and means committee of the House.
In this fact is to be found the explanation
of the increase of the internal tag on
beer and the new tax on tea. Evidently
the committee believed that their reduc-
lions in rates would SO reduce the reve-
nue. from duties on imports that new
source of income would be needed. Hence
these taxes on beer and tea.
The form in which the bill will finally
PASS will differ very materially no doubt
from it's present form or the form in
which it left the House. 1t is generally
understood that the Republicans on Ithe
finance COMMITTEES assented to some of the
features of the bill merely because it was
necessary to do SO to secure Senator
Jones's vote without which the bill could
not be got out of committee, and that
they will attempt to rsvise the bill again
when it is before the Senate. Of course
they will encounter embarrassments
similar to those which they met in COM
mittee, since the Republican Senators are
not numerous enougs to pass
the bill unsideG, but they are
hopeful of being able to eliminate
some of the features which Senator
Jones succeeded in forcing into the bill.
The situation, however, is so complicated
that it is useless to predict the final re-

THE ENGLISH ROYAL STANDARD

John Leighton, r. :. A, in Chamberss Journal.
At the present time no apology need he made
for suggesting the still further Matchmaking of
the royal standard of England by the adoption
or an extra device to include Wales-England,
Scotland and Ireland alone being at present
represented. To have England or the fourth
quarter we'll the first is not only super
nuous, but wholly excludes gallant little Wales
which is not represented at all.
The claim OF Wales to occupy a distinct posi-
ton on the royal standard will surely be ad-
mtted by every body; it ds so obviously inst tho
only wonder is il has not been satisfied ere this
Consistency, if no stronger argument be used
seems to urge this recognition. so long delayed
The story OF the evolution OF the royal stand

is not necessary to go into detail; suffice it to
as James to the throne of England, and to the
throne of Ireland as well. he quartered the arms
borne by previous English soveregns with those
OF Scotland and Ireland, the second quarter
t neing the lion rampant OF Scotland. and the
Union made no provision for a special mode Of
marshalling in Scotland. But in Scotland the
scottish :, arms claimed precedence in the quar-
terings. occupying the first and fourth quarters,
while England was relegated to the second.
The official seals Of Scotland have uniformly
mus reversed the places of England and Scot
land On some Scottish state ediices also we
see the unicorn placed as the dexter supporter
While the lion RAMPANT gardant is RELOCATED to
the sinister side The royal banners OF Eng
land have always borne the same blazonry as
the royal shields. Tho English claim to the
crown OF France was represented by heurs- de-
lis on the royal arms and standard beside the
III; under William III the coat OF Nassau APP
peared; and from the accession of George I till
the separation Of Hanover from England at the
accession Of Victoria the arms Of Hanover were
duly shown. But since the union Of the crowns
or England and Scotland in 1903 the arms OF
England Scotland and Ireland have always had
their place in royal arms though various modi-
hcations have from time to time been adopted
as at the Legislative union OF England and Scot
land under Anne in 1907. and after the union
with Ireland In 1901. But the old and close con-
necton OF tho ancient British monarchy OF
Wales has never been recognized on tho royal
standard Of England Or Of Britain. The end OF
