While the attention of the legislature
1m btilng drawn to various normal
school projects serious attention should
be given to the suggestion made In (5ov
ernor l'oynter's message, that the edu
cational Interests of the state be cen
tered, as far as may be. at one partic
ular point.
Nebraska has built up a great educa
tional Institution lu the Slate university
at Lincoln, which represents an Im
mense Investment of energy and money.
On the material side It forms a great
Industrial plant for Instruction, with
laboratories, libraries, class rooms, gym
nasiums ami other educational para
phernalia, which should he Utilized to
the fullest extent.
While Omaha Is not usually credited
with any special solicitude for the ad
vancement of Lincoln, It would seem
more lu the direction of economy and
promising of good results to build up
the educational Interests already started
there, rather than to scatter the strength
of tlie state In several new experiments.
The facilities already at hand lu tho
State university could without much
additional expenditure lie made avail
able for a normal department devoted
to the training of teachers, who would
thereby enjoy many advantages not to
lie had In any other place.
The legislature has been Iximbarded
with normal school bills for many yearn
lu each successive1 session, but all of
them have been lost by the wayside,
chlolly because of local Jealousy be
tween tho places seeking the locations.
The public school system has, however,
reached a point where the demand for
well trained teachers Is pressing on the
supply. To meet this demand several
successful private normal schools have
grown up, enjoying a prolltable pat
ronage which should not be Interfered
with unnecessarily by the erection of
competitive Institutions offering free In
struction. The state, above all, needs
to set Its standards higher than thos"
maintained in private educational In
stitutions. Whether this cannot best
be accomplished by unifying and con
solidating Its educational work lies with
the legislature to determine.
Tin: axui.o-oekmax t'lttKxnsini:
Thiit one result of the change of sov
ereigns lu ( ireat llrltalu has been to
strengthen the bonds of friendship be
tween that nation and Germany Is ap
parent. The death of (Jueen Victoria
elicited from Kmpcror William tin un
expected manifestation of affection for
his grandmother, llefore the almost
universal belief had been that the
kaiser cared very little for his Kng
llsh relations, lie had not shown llllal
devotion even to his mother, the eldest
daughter of Victoria. As a youth he
had".i)hown n good deal of the hostility
common, among his countrymen toward
Knglund. When he came to the throne
It wiis among his earliest efforts to show
that he had no sympathy with Hrltlsh
Ideas or purposes. Ills disposition was
to contribute to the uutl-Eugllsh sen
timent of Germany. Perhaps tiie most
notable; evidence of tills Is to be found
lu his dispatch to the president of the
Transvaal republic at the time of the
Jamlesou raid.
Hut there has since been a complete
change In the attitude of the (ieniuin
emperor toward (ireat llrltalu and to
day the Kngllsh king undoubtedly has
no stronger or more earnest friend lu
continental Europe than William II.
Months ago there was arranged between
the two governments an agreement, the
full purport of which the world Is not
yet aware of, that fjuvo a more bind
ing character of the friendly relations
between the two powers. Some Impres
sion of the force of this understanding
has been obtained from the attitude of
the Herman government regarding the
South African war, which has been not
only one of neutrality, but of absolutu
refusal to even accord the least recog
nition to the representatives of the
Boer republics, not excepting the presi
dent of the Transvaal. Nothlug could
have more emphatically Indicated tho
complete transference of German sym
pathy to Knglund than this and nothing
could have more certainly destroyed all
hope of the Hoor republics' receiving
any consideration from Km ope.
How does the new sovereign of Kng
lund recognize these most Important and
valuable evidences of German friend
ship? Hy the greatest attestations 'of
Hrltlsh appreciation which ll is lu his
power to make. The German emperor
has been made a Held marshal of Kug
laud, a courtesy never before, we be
lieve, conferred upon a foreign sover
eign, while the crown prince of Ger
many has had bestowed upon him a
distinguished honor rarely glveu to any
nc outside of tho Hrltlsh empire. The
great consideration thus shown by King
Edward to tho ruler of Germany means
a great deal more than Is Involved lu
family relations. It has quite as much
of a political as a personal bearing.
The relations between King Edward
and Kmporor William have always been
of the most cordial nature. There Is no
doubt that ,11 hearty persoual friend
ship exists between them. Hut there Is
much more than an ordinary expression
of friendship lu what has taken place,
as all Kurope will recognize.
King Kdward has played a lino piece
of statesmanship and Kmperor Wil
liam an astute and sagaeloub man
Is lu full accord with It. It signifies
that for the present and perhaps for a
long time to come Kuglaud and Ger
many will be together In regard to the
great world questions lu which they
have a mutual Interest. It In effect says
to the rest of Kurope that these powers
are allies, prepared to make common
cause lu the preservation of peace or
lu the prosecution of war. It Is notice
to the world cloaked, Indeed, but none
the less unmistakable of an Anglo-Ger
man compact which is not a simple
formality, but must be reckoned with
by the other powers and by all the
world. Kuglaud and Germany are closer
friends than at any time since Napo
leon I,
What some of the other powers of con
tinental Kurope will think of this Is an
interesting question. Franco must see
In It the utter futility of cultivating an
tagonism to Knglund. She may go on
1
nursing her hatred, but without hope of
making It effective. Itusslu will see
greater reason than ever for keeping
011 good terms with Great Hrltalu. The
rest of Kurope need not be seriously con
sidered, King Kdward has already
shown that he possesses the qualities of
statesmanship.

The arrival of the Nebraska electors
In Washington means much more than
the mere casting of the vote of the peo
ple of this state for William MeKlnloy
ami Theodore Itoosevelt to be president
ami vice president of the United States
It Is true that .Mr. MeKlnloy must de
rive much personal satisfaction from the
visit, for It Is a remarkable endorsement
for his policies and administration. To
carry the state of which his opponent
Is an honored citizen, and which had
previously emphatically voted against
him, must be a source of gratitlcatlon
to the president. It Is also gratifying

lit the overthrow of popocraey Is a
source of pardonable pride for every
loyal republican.
Hut the victory has an lullueiice that
reaches much farther than that. Dur
ing the late campaign The Hco called at
tention to the proposition that Nebraska
needed MeKlnloy more than MeKlnloy
needed Nebraska. The eight electoral
votes from this state go only to swell
the great majority given the republican
candidates. Their moral effect, how
ever, Is far more potent than their ma
terial. It Is an advertisement to the world
that Nehraskans desire to be enumerated
among those who do business on a
business basis, who believe lu payment
of honest debts lu honest dollars, and
who do not Intend to Indulge in any
freakish experiments In government at
tho expense of commercial safety. Ne
braska, needs the conlldence of the peo
ple of the east. Wo are continually in
viting capital to assist us In tho devel
opment of our resources, and we must
give to that capital the assurance that
Investments In Nebraska are not only
prolltable but safe. No better guaranty
of this can be glveu than the announce
ment that Nebraska has abandoned the
puerility of populism, the delusions of
democracy and the fallacies of fusion
for the sound and tried doctrines of the
republican party.

General MacArthur, addressing 11 regi
ment of volunteers about to return from
tho Philippines, told tho men that the
chief udvantngo of the work In which
they have been engaged is "engendering of
a warlike spirit, without which no nation
can continue to live and by which alone n
nation Is created and madu perpetual."
It Is lamentable that an American Hhould
believe such 11 thing and tench It to his
follow-cltlzcns. This nation wnB not ere
atcd by the spirit of war and compiest, but
by the spirit of Independence, and justice.
War was nn unavoidable means to an end
nnd when tho end was achieved tho sword
was sheathed that the republic might bo
perpetuated by peace.
Perhaps a soldier may bo excused for
considering his work tho highest and most
Importnnt done lu tho world, hut It Is
dinicult to understand how an Intelligent
American, oven though his training has
been that of a warrior, can so misunder
stand and misinterpret tho ideas of the
founders of this government as to udsort
(lint Its vital principle Is war for war's
sake.
Tho engendering of a warllko spirit is
ono of tho most evil nnd dangeious con
sequences of tho Philippine adventure, In
the vlow of thoso who nro not blinded by
commercinllsm and aro capable of draw
ing conclusions from tho lessons of history.
If wo aro killing Filipinos Just to keep our
soldiers lu prrctlro and Inspire them with
deslro for martial glory, we aro false to
all tho Ideals of American manhood nnd
havo perverted tho powor of the republic
to baso ends. Free government and wars
of conquest cannot long keep company.

Men nownd.iys should bo thankful to any

liberal la tho senso of being comprehcnslvo
and philosophic. No ono should be trainel
to bo simply an export lu some particular
branch of particular business. No one now
pretends to know nil the sciences thor
ouhly, but each science has Its subdivisions
and each subdivision demands n specialist.
So much must ho granted, but It lu still
possible to havo a general knowledge of the
progress of research, experiment and dis
covery In the more Important departments
of knowledge and of learned speculation.
Without this general knowledge oven tho
specialist In any particular department must
bo painfully conscious of the Inadequacy of
his own learning to afford an Intelligent
vlow of the world oj a whole. Hut, further,
every ayatom of education must bo con
formed to some ideal. It should Impress
nnd it can hardly avoid Impressing sonio
philosophy of life upon tho student's mind.
Hut what Is tho meaning or tho purpose of
ltfo so far as U can bo gathered from a
systom of education designed simply to
produce engineers, olcctrlcluns nnd practi
cal chemists? Docs It not all teach that nn
educated man Is merely a more or less vnl
uablo labor-savlnc machlno?
The old school hoisted, most of nil, upon
the Importance of culture the development
of Intellect and character. It may have hail
Its defects, but, at least. It produced well
rounded mun nnd It enabled oven tho poor
man to enjoy life, seasoning his plain living
with hlqh thinking. And, then to go back
to Dr. Lodge's thoory It taught the wisdom
of the homoly hdage: "All work and no
ploy inhkes Jack a dull hoy." The houeybeo

It is no small guaranty of peace that tho
rival asphalt syndicates In Venczuoln am
both American concerns. Tho possibilities
that would attend dllfcrcnt nationalities In
such a caso nro ton harrowing to contem
plate. Already tho Philadelphia Press wan
in war paint. Tho wholo country, It has
said, "will bo behind tho administration ns
ono man" lu resenting tho "Insolent bo
havlor of tho present Venezuelan govern
ment." "No matter what uneasy revolu
tionist sits In, tho presidential chair in
Vunezuoln," It says, "tho United States will
brook no Interference with Its rights or the
property nnd liberty of Its citizens."
It Is almost providential, therefore, that
tho hyndleato that opposeB tho claims of the
Now York and Hermudes Asphalt company,
commonly known ns the asphalt trust, Is an
nll-Amulican affair, with headquarters lu
Syrncuse. Capitalists In Syracuse, ro far at.
can he discerned, ns much deserve tho pro
tection of their Hag ns cnpltnllsts in Nuu
Ynrk. Syracuse, lot us hope, will strenuously
uphold to the end Its cla I1113 ngnlnst New
York In this matter. It Is gratifying to
note thnt tho Syracuso sjndlcato hns now
mndo its powor felt In Washington through
Its legal representatives, and thus deprived
tho usphnltors of New York of their monop
oly of pull with tho dlploirutlc and ni'lltary
departments of tho United States govern
ment. Hitherto, tho Impression bus bem
gained from tho activity of the American
war ships In Venezuelan wntors nnd the
earnestness of tho Stnto department In be
half of tho Now Yorkers, that the asplult
trust was a downtrodden concern. Hut here
como tho Syracuso nsphnlters with nnothu
view of the situation. Their representative,
former Senator Frank Hlscock, takes tho
ground thut tho other crowd has been lying
to tho State d(-pnrtment In order to secure
"action on tho part of tho United Stales
which would Intimidate the Venezuelan gov
ernment." It Is apparent that the nsphaltors up the
state are satisfied with thn course of the
Venezuelan government. They proposo to
work their concession and remove asphalt.
They c'nltn. too, that iholr concession in no
way conflicts with that of the rival concern,
while nn Important po'nt Is developed hi
the fact that tho validity of tho Syracuse
syndicate's tltlo to Its Venezuelan swamp
was certified to by a man who now repre.
scuts the other company.
The rival Syracuso concern . may havn
saved us from a syndicate war to compel
tho Venezuelan government to rocognlzu all
tho claims of the trust Tho assertions now
madu hy tho other nsphalters will at least
Induce circumspection by tho State depait
ineut and perhaps less scurrying of wur
ships.
KTCIIINtiJI III'' WASHINGTON I.M'H.
Semen nnil Inelili-iils Around tin '"

Wiialiltii-tnti iiromlses to turn Had' l0-,a
ns novcr before on March I. Preparations
for thn Inniieiiratlon of President MeKlnloy
and Ico President Hoosevolt nro being
mndo on n scale thnt will make tho fnblcd
'.Irffersnnlan simplicity" look like 30 cents
The real ceremony of Inauguration will bo
conducted ns heretofore, but tho Incidental
trimmings, such as the parade, fireworks,
etc , will be as elaborate as n fund of bo,-
000 will make them. There Is no dimcuity
in raising this money, possibly a score of
men contributing $0,000 ench, This Is ex
plained by tho fnct thnt they got nil this
money back. Tho tickets sold for the In
nugurnl ball cover tho wholo expenses for
tho day thnt Is, nil that must bo met by
private purses. Nn more will be raised by
the rltlzens of tho District of Columbln this
year than usual, but congress will tic asked
to appropriate $2S,O0O or $30,000 for pro
vldlng electrical Illuminations on tho build
Ings nnd a similar sum will bo asked to
ptovldo for decorations, This, In addition
to what will bo done hy other menus, will
result In- magnificent spectacles by night
and day.
"It Is the policy of the War nnd Nnvy de
purtmi nts," fnys the Detroit Journal cor
respondent, "to begin assembling nn tin
ustlnlly Inrgo number of men In Washington
weeks before March I. Commnnds aro or
dcrod '10m dls.'unt points. This work goes
on so gradually that It Is hnrdly noticed
nevertheless It results In tho gathering of
extra thounnds of uniformed men for tho
parade. All brandies of tho two services
will be represented, and moro men will bo
in line than In any other parade. Tho gen
cral prosperous condition of the country
will cau;o. It Is expected, n largo number of
private organizations to send uniformed
bodtos.
''Tho chief nuxlety concerning the In
nugurntlon nlwuys Is tho stato of the
weather. Washington winters nre Into ones,
and .March Is always a bad month. The
anxiety of those who ndvnnco tho money Is
incrensed hy the fact thnt bad weather mny
result In 11 decided loss, A snowy, bluster
ing day would cause the proceeds of the ball
to drop olf nt least ono-half, with tho result
thnt tho men who finance the day would get
only half their money back. It seems curious
that a grcnt nation like- tho United States
should place tho Inauguration of n president
In tho hands of men who speculate on the
weather ns to whether they will como out
whole or lose, nnd that the financial success
of tli" iiny Hhould depend on tho proceeds
arising from the snlc of tickets for n bnll."
Dviry day or two, relates the Washington
Post, Kxeciitlvo ciork Prndon appears la
tho senate or tho house with the announce
ment that ho Is tho bearer of a message In
writing from tho president of the United
States. The writing Is the work of Mr.
Priiden himself. Connected with that hand
writing Is an Interesting story.
Away back In war time. Mr. Prudcn was
n soldier, stationed lu Washington, and
doing duty as an orderly al tho door cf
the Judgu advocnto general. In moments
of Idleness ho amused himself with draw
ing pictures and pen i.crolls, and particu
larly with copying letters In n large,
mend hand, equal to engrossing, vcr leg
ible nnd very handsome. One day an army
officer found hi 111 engaged In this work.
"You haven't nny business here," snld
the ofllcer. "Why don't you get a clrricnl
position?"
"I haven't any Influence to get a clerk
ship," wns tho soldier's reply.
The olllcer proved to be General Habcock.
Ho went over to tho War department,
arranged for Mr. Prudcn'B appointment,
nnd In a little whllo the soldier was giv
ing tho government tho bpncflt of hlB tal
ent for penmanship. When General Hab
cock went over, to the Whlto House with
General Grant lio took Mr. Prudcu'nlong
with him, nnd there Prudon hns rcmnlned
to tho present day. He hns never lost tho
art of handling his pen with artistic skill
and the Invitations to dinners und recep
tions which Issue from tho Whlto Houso
aro his handiwork. When ho prepares n
written messiigo for congress ench word
Is as beautifully executed as a bit of cop
perplate engraving.
The arch of whlto immortelles, with n
keystono of red carnnllons, brnrlng thn
legend "Verdict of the People," pre
sented lo Senntor Quay on tho morning
of his return to tho senntc nfter two years
of enforced oxlie, cost $H0 in good hard
money, says a Washington letter. It was
bought and designed by employes lu tho
various executive departments who main
tain a voting residence In Pennsylvania ami
secured their positions through Mr. Quay's
Influence. These all contributed pro ratu
nnd bought tho Inrgest and most exponslvo
floral tribute ever nppcnrlng In tho United
Stntes senate. In addition many of theso
employes sent boqucts with their personal
cards attached.
There Is nt lenst one legislative "den" in
Washington, reports tho Chicago Hecord.
Congressman Hnutoll of Chicago hns ono
in tho basemcut of the inrgo brick houso
which ho with his family occupies durlnr
sessions of congress. Mr. lloutoll's don is
completely equipped for work. There, before
n grnto lire nnd beside n long table, the
North Sldo representative transacts a vast
amount of business for his constituents and
superintends Ills bookkeeping. On a tablh
In tho bay window icccss of tho den nro
three Inrgo volumes. One of them Is a
"day book" and upon its blunk leaves the
congiessmnn notes down every Incident of

question of public business or private In
terest affecting tho government the Incident
goes down In the dny hook. There aro
