HOME INDUSTRIES.

Omaha has been trying to enhance its
prosperity and stimulate its industries
by directing the local consumption to
the home manufactures. An organ
lZation has been formed comprising q
hundred or more industrial concerns
called the Manufacturing and Consum-
ers' association. Its chief mission is
educational. The people are kent adj
vised Of the character and variety of The
home productions, and induced to give
them the preference in their consump-
ton. In some branches of production.
the Bee says, the effect has been to in
crease the use of the articles
two and threefold. This gives en-
ployment to more workmen, mostly
skilled. and eDlivens the stu
alton materially. Among these quick
ened industries specified are the
domestic essentials of soap, syrup. vim
egar, baking powder and -four. A very
marked impulse is also given to the
cigar and beer industry. Establish

SECRETARY ELKTNS.

The selection of STEPHEN B. ELKINs
for the secretaryship of war, coming
after several months of confident pre-
dictions, illustrates the prescience of
the contemporary press. As soou as it
was known that there was to be va
cancy the entire corps of Washington
correspondents began to prepare the
public mind for the appointment which
has now been made. They learned at
once that the West Virginia man was
slated for the succession, and whatever
other feelings the event may excite
there is no reason why any one should
be surprised. ELKINS has a record in
public life extending over many years,
and colOred by long series of pictur-
esque and exciting episodes. No ma
tiOnal scandal since the time of GRANT
has been free from his rumored partlci-
patton in it. and while no Investigations
have resulted in his actual detection in
the exploits of the whisky ring, the
Credit mobilier plot or the Pacific Mail
subsidy steal, the general impression
among those in closest contact with
him has been that his immunity was a
proof of his cleaverneSs rather than of
his innocence. Politically, he has been
for fifteen years chief among the
BLAINE champions. He backed BLAINE
heartily in 1876 along with the rest of
the great crowd of soled doves who
loved the man of the timely sunstroke
because he seemed one of their kind.
Eight years later ne was entrusted with
the active management of the BLAINE
campaign, and was counted on to do the
dirty work for the Republican party
which TACK CHANDLER had done be-
fore him, and which DUDLEY and QUAY
have done since. He has never been
criticised for his lack of skill in this
field, but he came out of the wrestle with
Mr.. CLEVELAND somewhat furnished
as to the name he had before that time
had for shreWdness and discretion.
lingo Jim was beaten primarily because
his character was a bad one, but two
features OF his canvass contributed as
much to his defeat as his own personal
career. One was the dinner of the New
York milliOnaireS. which excited wide
spread indignation as an attempt to
VI llie3 pOWCl VI WColbA " OCdl III
BLAINE'S favor, and the other was the
clerical reception at which Mr.. BURCH-
ARD perpetrated his famous illItera-
ton. Both of these were devices of Mr..
ELKINS' brain and ELECTED from the
frank and voluble JOHNNY DAVENPORT
the remark that he hadn't sense enough
to run tramps lodging house, let alone
a political campaign. In spite of his
failure on this occasion, he must have
qualities of ability to commend him
for his present promotion, and
no doubt he is expected to do
stout service for somebody between
now and the 9TH of June. Whether this
somebody is BLAINE, whose slave he
has always been, or whether the man
from Maine has resigned his claim to
Mr.. HARRISON, and turned over to him
his servants ana agents as part of the
bargain, remains to be seen. In either
case the appointment is discreditable
one, in that it puts in an honorable and
important position a man of doubtful
reputation, cOnspicuously identified
with the worst phases of the political
history of the past twenty-five years.

MAY BE POPULAR

The country is more interested in
practical results than in theories or the
needs of political organizations. If some
of the most Objectionable features of
the MCKINLEY act can be removed by
the policy understood to be favored by
Speaker CRISP and Mr.. SPRINGER, the
approval of the reform elements is likely
to be generally obtained for that course.
A short bill repeating the duties on
wool, iron ore, binding Irvine, cotton,
ties, salt, lumber and coal, and perhaps
few other things, could be prepared
at an early date and put through the
house by an immense vote. This
was understood to be the policy ap-
proved by the party last year. 1t is
the only chance to effect anything at
this session. 1t might be squeezed
through the senate when a general tariff
bill would have no chance. Very likely
they might run against a presidential
veto, but the Democrats would need no
better issue to go before the country on.
This need not interfere with the labOrs
oil any persons who care to formulate a
complete general bill that would require
most of the session.

WHY HE IS ANXIOUS.

The presidents Minneapolis organ,
after having day after day settled the
presidential purposes Of MIR. BLAINE,
now pronounces him performer of the
Sphynx act. Pretty pictures are some
times drawn of the sweet fellowship
and community of thought between the
president and the secretary, but it is ap-
parent that if the purpose of Mr..
BLAINE has come to the anxious mind
of the head of the cabinet, it has been
the result of some process unconscious
to the reveIatOr. The Cleveland Leader,
one of the confidential organs of the
president, demonstrates deliberately,
and 10 its own full conviction,
that Mr.. BLAINE can have no in
tention to allow his name to be
used, else he would long since have
left the cabinet. 1t would be unpar-
donable IN its view to continue in the
trusted relation he holds while he was
undermining the man who has given
him a place in his official family. 1t
seems, also, to the Leader that the logic
of the situation and the voice of the
party alike call for second nomination.
One evidence of the nervousness of the
president is seen in the anxiety of his
personal organ at indianapolis to show
that BLAINE does not hold a more lib
eral tariff policy than he does. The
credit given BLAINE in the reciprocity
business is annoying. In a recent
issue the paper says: "Any person
who goes around talking to the eff
feet that BLAINE is less a protection
ist than any Republican in public
life is proclaiming himself an ignor-
anus" 1t says further that before pro-
lection was so important an issue, "Mr.
BLAINE was a protectionist of protec-
tiOnistS." Still he said Of the consum-
nation of protection, the original Nc
KINLEY bill. that he wanted to Jump on
it with both feet, and that it was n. q.
without his attachment. If it was an
accepted fact stored in the presidential
mind that Mr.. BLAINE would not be in
his way next year, there would be little
concern about his completely with HAIR

TREAT THEM ALIKE.

Judge Otis displayed discretion, judy
ment and fairness in the sentence he
pronounced on the WEBSTER woman
yesterday. and gave one more proof, if
another was needed, that he is wise
and broad-minded man. The woman
was undoubtedly guilty of the offense
with which she was charged, both be-
cause she herself admitted it and be-
cause overwhelming evidence was
available against her had she stood her
trial. The public does not understand
at all that the imposition of fine rather
than Imprisonment meant any question
on this point or any suggestion that the
heinous traffic in which she has been
engaged is one to be condoned or treated
with leniency. In fact the court specif-
cally guarded against any such impress
sion by it open declaration that in
the future culprits of her stamp
might expect the full penalty the
law allowed. But any one who is famil-
lar with this city knows that she is not
the only person within its limits who
could be readily convicted of the same
offence, but that the rest of the foul
crew are allowed to operate without
molestatiCn for some reason inscrutable
TO the average intellect. Popular right
eOusneSs has right to its victim, and
whoever is signaled out for this service
must expect to suffer. But the GLOBE
is inclined to believe that the popular
sense of Justice would have been rudely
shocked had she been sent to the peni-
Tertiary while others equally notorious
for their immortality continued to enjoy
the opportunities for money making
their business affords. Law and order
leagues and grand juries are valuable
institutions, but they will quickly fall
into contempt if they are used to op-
press those without influence and to
favor OF hers of fhpir pYnnnCn

CHANGES IN POPULATION.

1t has been favorite theory with Re-
publicanS that the dropping away of
their party and the Democratic gains in
the New England States are due to the
migration of the natives aud the in
PRODUCTION of foreign elements. They
reduce everything to statistics in those
states. In recent report made up for
the legislature there are figures showing
the elements of population. 1t appears
that only fourth of the population is of
alien nativity. Yet there were last year
but 20,029 births of American parent
age to %, SOL of foreign, and over $4,000
in which one of the parents were foreign.
1t appears, then, that the foreign
stock adds to the population by birth
three to one by the original element. al
though but One-fourth as numerous.
At this ratio the time is not far away
when the natives and those of native
ancestry will be III the minority. If it
is the fact that the foreign stock is
mainly Democratic the outlook is not
cheering for the Republicans. 1t is un-
questioned that the foreign part of the
population is more productive than the
HdllfSs lOludii ldiillllco udN6 COIlo 10
be the rule with the Yankee stock. 1t
was not so generation or two ago, but
it is rare now to see more than two to
four children in a native family. Di-
vOrces, too, are increasing among the
Yankee element. Still there were last
year 1907 marriages among the natives
to G,564 of the foreigners and 1862 of
mixed nativity. A partial explana-
ton of the diSproportion in Massachu-
sets is no doubt found in the fact that
so many of the young people migrate to
the West and elsewhere, while the for
eign elements that come in are of pro-
ductive ages. Still the fact is beyond
question that New England is losing the
elements that look back to the May
flower and the PuritanS.
