STEPHEN B. ELklNS.

Hon. S. B. Elkins, whose name is
familiar to every household in New Mex
leo, was yesterday called to accept the
war portfolio in the presidents cabinet.
No event of recent times more APPLY illus
trates the admirable principles of our
form of government. Mr.. Elkins is a
man of whom it may justly be said, he is
"of the people, An Ohloan by birth, an
early pioneer by adoption, the avenues
for profound educational training were
very limited for his earlier days, but by
nature a student, searcher after truth,
possessed of remarkable energy, he
awaited himself of every opportunity that
presented itself. Whether as a member
of the New Mexico assembly, as United
States attorney for this district, as New
Mexico's representative in congress-
whether as big, hearty, hale country
boy, going to the public schools at West
port, Mo-, or as courageous seeker after
fortune and fame on the western plains,
or poor struggling young lawyer, learn
ing Spanish in the little town OF Mesllla,
Mr.. Elkins always did his duty There's
the secret OF his success. Hard study in
the line of duty has thus raised the poor
American boy Of not many years ago to
one of the proudest positions men OF this
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1891-12-18

age may be called on to occupy-a place
in the cabinet of the president Of the
greatest nation on earth.
Mr. Eiklns has the genius to adapt
bimself to circumstances, and this being
fact we can confidently expect him to
make not only most acceptable secre'
tary of war, but very safe and level
headed advisor as such to the president.
His true metal, his cousummate ability,
his power over men have often been dis
played in times when men of less brain
power would have fallen by the way, but
the best example, perhaps, Of Mr.. Elkins'
achievements in this direction occurred at
the Chicago convention which nominated
Mr.. Blaine for the presidency. The splen-
did skill with which he handled the
strangely discordant mass of delegates
there assembled is matter of historic
moment. No ordinary man could have
marshaled the Blaine forces as be did.
Pressed on all sides by the foremost men
of the land, some for Sherman, many for
Arthur, others for anybody against "the
pumed knight" it required a superior
knowledge OF men, consummate tact and
an endless display of energy. These
were shown there to be Mr.. Elkins' char
acteristic qualities. He did his duty and
he was successful. That was master
stroke. 1t lifted him from comparative
obscurity in the eyes of the nation and
of the world to foremost place among
American statesmen.
His appointment yesterday was simply
one additional step upward for this VERT
able man of the people.
In bis new position Mr.. Elkins will
find himself quite at home in many res
poets. He is not a military chieflain
but under the theory and practice
of our government this is all the better.
He goes into the cabinet with a
ripe business experience; a wide ac-
quaintance with public men and the
affairs of the nation. He has always been
lard student of economic questions;
problems pertaining to political and social
economy have been his delight for years.
Generally speaking he is familiar with
and capable of dealing safely and intel
ligently with all questions likely to arise
in any of the departments OF the govern
ment, with the military as we'll as the
civil, and that he will serve the nation
faithfully, honestly and acceptably goes
without saying. In common with the
people of New Mexico, of his present
home, West Virginia, and, we believe,
majority Of the country, the New MEXICAN
tenders the new secretary of war its
heartlest congratulations and best wishes.

There are no strikes or "labor troubles
in Russia. Those peasants who refuse to
work at the public rates decreed by the
"famine commission" are sentenced to
be fogged or sent to Siberia. There is
not much variety to life in Russia, but
there is a choice of several kinds of death,
as by starving, foggirg, freezing or a
combination of all in Siberia. -Kansas
