"STEVE" ELKINS.

Can it be that Mr.. HarriSon's gift of
an Office to Secretary ElkinS is hi S
Christmas present to Mr.. Blaine?-
Chicago News.
Mr.. Elkins was only captain during
the war, but he ranks as a major gem
eral in political skill and foresight

old pard. Don't forget the old boys in
your luck. Star route snaps have been
mighty scarce for some yearS.-Kansas
City Times.
Now by the Great Horn Spoon let the
war proceed. Steve Elkins is appointed
secretary of war. And ne is a cousin
of Jim Blaine.-TOledO Bee.
Early in life Steve Elkins displayed
some of that shrewdness which charac-
teriZes him now. He removed from
Westport when he arrived at years of
discretion. kansas City Times.
The nomination of Stephen b. EIkins
for secretary of war proves the advan-
tage of being known throughout the
country as strictly honest man of
great capacity for-Star-routes.-C
go Press.
Steve ElkinS is creature who could
have no recognition IN the republic if
its chief magistrate were man equal
in fact to his pretenSIon of morality. In
naming him for the war portfolio Ben
Harrison has deliberately sought the
Steve Elkins level.-Chicago Times.
The appointment of Stephen B. Elk
ms as secretary of war gives President
Harrison another able political lieu
tenant. The new secretary is a poll
tician of the practical sort, who has
shown good ability as mansger of po-
litical forces in the held. He has long
been one of Blaine'S chief supporters,
and his elevation 10 the cabinet at this
time will give rise to the suspicion that
the man from Maine will not be the next
Republican nOminee.-Chicago Mail.

assuming its own risks for itself. Put
ting away each year as much as it had
been devOting to premiums, it at once
has the immediate use of the money,
and in case of loss will have it avail
able for its replacement.
The thought suggests itself as to
whether it would not be wise after a
while to extend this plan little further,
and to have the municipality carry the
Insurance not only on its own property,
but also on all property within its linn
Its. The scheme is rather large one,
and at present we have not the time for
its execution. But in the tax on every
piece of improved real estate might be
included percentage sufficient to cover
the necessary premiums, and the city
treasury would then stand ready to re-
imburSe each owner for his loss, just as
the Insurance companies do now. The
business must bring profit, or else so
many would not be engaged in it,.
Under this plan not only would this
profit accrue to the common benefit and
he effective for the reduction of taxa
ton, but there would be still further
gains. Every citizen would be enlisted
for the prevention Of CONGREGATIONS. and
the fire and water departments melted
to extraordinary diligence. because
every loss avoided would mean SO much
saved, not to some foreign company, but
for the entire body of taxpayers. The
protection would be as complete as it is
under the present system, the cost
much lower, and a material reduction
effected in the number of fires, which
bring so much confusion to our local
business and entail such a waste of
capital. The idea is worthy of serious
consideration.

THEATRICAL ADVERTISING.

RICHARD MANSFIELD, actor and play
wright, will make new departure in
theatrical advertising. He proposes to
dispense entirely with bill boards and
Autographs, concentrating the sum total
of his advertising account upon the
newspapers. The decision arrived at
by Mr.. MANSFIELD speaks eloquently
for his acknowledged acumen. The
principal reason assigned by him for
the radical breaking away from old-time
theatrical moOrings is an excellent one.
Mr.. MANSFIELD claims that the class
of people who do not read newspapers
do not attend theatRrs. Consequently,
the bill board and Autograph display
is in the nature of a free show, from
which no benefit is derived at the
box Office. Mr.. MANSFIELD could not
have reasoned with more prescience
had he spent some years of his life in
studying the philosophy of advertising
under eminent specialists in this
branch. 1t is true, as he says. that the
drama of today appeals only to those
who read the daily papers and can afford
to take them in their households.
Larger display of amusement adver-
tisements in the daily press will confer
more benefit, at less cost than bill
boards and Autographs. No newspaper
publisher need fear the result of Mr..
MANsFIELD's new plan, as stated by him,
one year hence. Perhaps the eminent
actor has inaugurated movement that
may become universal.

WHAT THEY DO NOT KNOW.

AT the gathering of Republican ma
nipulatOrS at Chicago Saturday EN1MONs
BLAINE was lowering about. ALGER,
the Michigan millionaire. who is under
stood to be willing to open up barrel
in fact,a hogshead-for the Minneapolis
nomination, was mysteriously active
also. There are suspicious that he is
an affinity Of the BLAINE output, and
may be in secret fellowship with the
unrevealed purpose of the uncertain
secretary. No material relief, however,
was afforded those anxious Republicans
who would come in on the ground floor
with the man of destiny, whatever his
name. But it will be remembered that
a little earlier EMMoNs BLAINE put the
situation in this light:
my father occupies the same position
today he did in 1876. He is party man;
he is in the hands of his party just as
he was fifteen years ago, when he was
defrauded of his nomination by a trick !;
and, if l may use the absurd word, he
has 'consecrated' himself to that party,
and will be just as ready to lead the
battle now as he was then"
That seems plain enough. When Col
INGERSoLL nominated BLAINE at Gin
cinnati in the masterpiece of eulogium,
there was no intimatiOn that he was not
a willing and eager candidate. If his
son now speaks by information. as it is
fair to presume, why should the HAIR
BISON men be trying to keep up the
cloud of doubt? But HARRISON and
BLAINE are acting i'll sweet unison,it is
asserted. BLAINE'S old chief of staff is
put into the cabinet. HARRISON also
has a son who talks at times He is
credited with recent delivery that
puts BLAINE out Of the ring and a zeal
GUS hacker OF his father. So it goes.
The more these perturbed Republicans
find out. the less they really know. But
1t is what the secretary delights in. His
pride is fiattered at being the great
mystery of the times. If he could solve
the cOnundrum as to his fate at the bal
lot box if the ca ndidate, there might be
less difficulty in interpreting his occult
disposition

HOW TO BREAK THEM

The old story of the father who gave
to his sons the practical illustration of
how TO break the bundle of sticks
comes in as an apt illustration of the
Democratic situation in congress. The
most frantic efforts applied to the ag-
gregated sticks awaited nothing, but,
when they were taken one or two at a
time, the swapping went on to attain
ment of the end sought. Some would
take the whole MCKINLEY bundle and
attempt to do the demolition act. 1t is
conceded that the compact mass would
give no response to any such efforts. The
only accomplishment would be to show
the disposition of the parties who
would do the breaking. The OBJECT les
son of the father with the sticks was
not exactly the one in hand. He would
evemplify the value of unity, but the
country wants to see the breaking done
regardless of matters of detail. The
$50 majority of Democrats was elected
to pull to pieces the MCKINLEY system.
Practical men take part if they can
not get all they seek for, and keep peg
ging away, as Mr.. LINCOLN would saw,
to obtain the rest. They are willing to
see the sticks broken singly when
the bunch is too strong for the
power to be applied. The policy of the
speaker is to pass bills in the house
putting the raw materials used in the
industries on the free list. Many of
them, especially in New England, are
suffering and Stunted by the burdens
upon the elements they require. 1t is a
partisan and not patriotic objection
that the success of such measures would
weaken the Democratic posi- ton as the
tariff reform party. The country needs
an exhibition that practical results are
put before any party needs. But the
favor which this course meets over the
country is encouraging to its promoters.
