Some Admirable Appointments.

The appointment as Mr.. Elkins as
secretary of war is one which will great
ly strengthen the administration. He
not only has wlQc influence as party
leader of unriyalled authority, but he
has also the practical qualities and force
of character which are required for con-
ducting one of the great departments of
the administration. Mr.. Elkins is one
of the few men in public life who have
a thorough knowledge of the coun-
try as whole. Born in Ohio, ac-
lively engaged in mining and stock
interests in the far West, having
important business connections in the
East and being identified with the de-
velopment of the resources of the New
South, he has compre ehensive acquaint-
ance with the practical requirements of
every section of the Union. He will
be in the largest sense a representative
of the nation, rather than of any state
or section. His Judgment ON all public
questions considered by the cabinet
will be sagacious and free from sectional
narrowness. His executive ability is of
the highest quality, SO that in the War
Department he will be a worthy sue
cessOr to Secretary Proctor, who has
left behind him remarkable reputa-
ton for efficiency and mastery of de-
tails.
Mr.. Elkins has not been honored with
this appointment on the strength of his
claims as politician. A lawyer by pro-
fessiOn and a successful business man,
he has had comparatively little leisure
during his busy career for what is ordi-
narily known as the business of politics.
He has held important offices, such as
United States district attorney and rep
resentative in Congress for two terms;
but while he has never shirked the re-
sponsibilites of public duty, he has or
dinarily preferred to keep out of poll
ties so far as possible and to devote his
time and energy to his mining and rail
way interests. While he is most favor
ably known from New York to San
Francisco as a keen yet conservative
business man, he has exerted great in
tiuence in the national councils of his
party.
The President $ appointments for six
of the new judicial circuits are to be
commended as satisfactory III every re-
speCt. BY selecting two eminent Dem
ocrats, Mr.. Putnam, of Maine, and Mr..
Dallas, OF Pennsy ylvania, when he was at
liberty 10 appoint Six instead of four Re-
publicans, he has given practical dem
onstration of nom -partisanship which
will be heartily applauded by all impair
tial minds in the country. Three of the
selections, Judges Shipman, Woods and
Taft, involve promotion on the bench,
and this is civil service reform of the
most practical kind. Gen. Gotf's ap-
pointment is a conspicuouslv good one
Every one of the judges is we'll known

American silk Manufac.ure.

OF all the manufacturing Industries, OF
which this nation is so Justly proud, not
one stands more conspicuous for It's sue
cess than silk, though it came into the
field with great tardlness and caution.
The truth is, native capital rather trem-
bled at the thought of putting itself in
competition with the Old World houses
whose looms had skill derived from
the experience of perhaps 1900 years.
We have at hand the seml-centenary OF
domestic silk manufacture; that Is to
say, we have been only fifty years max
ing silk goods. and vet we stand at this
hour the second nation of the earth in
this branch of industry. We have
beaten the East, We have beaten Swift
zerland, Germany, England, every Eu-
ropean nation, except France, and we
are approaching her with rapid strides.
Last year the value of our manufactures
of silk was s6O,gu,Go; the
value of French manufactures was
a tritie over SlO,0OO.Oy0. 1t IS the
opinion of the most observant of
our silk dealers. importers as we'll as
domestic dealers, that the next twelve
wears will make the Cnlted States the
equal of France in the production OF
silk fabrics In England and other
European factories the speed of spin
dies ranges from $500 to 1900 revolu
tons per minute; go into a Paterson
mill, and there you can have it demon
strated that the spindles perform from
L, 900 to i, 600 revolutions per minute.
And this is the case also in the other
silk weaving establishments of the
Union. There is no longer monopoly
of this high-speed spindle, there is the
Duffy & Whorrell, the Atwood and the
Machinists' Association spindle, al

The New York World very proper

who are taking the Chilian side, and
abusing the President for his strong and
dignifed references to the ltata case
and the Valparaiso Outrages. 1t takes
pains to praise the Chilian passages in
the message as in the highest degree
patriotic. We are glad to notice general
agreement of all the influential journal
OF both parties on this subject. What
is wanted is non-partisan treatment of
diplomatic questions by the American
press. Let the business OF malignlng

tarv of state of foul play IN foreign re-
lations be confined to English hirelings,

About Southern Industrial Progress.
The Manufacturers Record of Balti-
more contains a long list of enterprises
in which are noted three new iron fur
naces in Texas, iron pipe works IN Nlr-
ginia to employ 400 hands, the nrganiza-
ton of $, 900, 900 company IN London
to develop large iron and coal prope--
ties in Virginia ard Tennessee, a 81 ,OOo,-
600 pany's purchase OF 5000 acres OF
West Virginia coal lands, and scores of
other concerns of small capital whose
manufactures are based on iron and
steel
1t is g wonderful record of the mate
rial progress of the South, and the
pncuiiar feature of il is that it is due
largely to protective tariff None of the
ENTERPRISES above mentioned could be
started or succeed but for protection.
1t is proposed nevertheless, by a Demo
cratic House to pass bills ct this season
to put iron and coal and cotton ties on
the free list. In that event not only
these new enterprises, but thousands of
similar ones that have sprung up over
the South in the last ten years, Will be
driven to bankruptcy. Yet the solid
South has sent solid array Of Demo-
cratic free trade congressman to Wash
ington prepared to do this injury to the
progress of their own section.
If the industrial wealth in the South
has any power in politics it will be heard
in the national capital this winter pro-
testing against the Democratic pro-
gramme.
The Wasp.
The female wasp spends the winter in
a torpid condition, and when spring ar
rives she hunts up some sort OF shell
tered spot appropriate for nest. Having
selected the retreat, she proceeds TO lay
within it the foundation of a home.
For this object earth will not serve her
turn. The substance of which the walls
and chambers Of the house are 10 be
composed must be none other than the
finest paper, made of wood pulp,
mixed with sort of sizing, worked to a
paste and finely spread into sheets.

There have been recently published
from a number of unbiased writer's de-
scriptiOns OF the Harney Peak tin mines
in South Dakota by which it appears
that by the end of 1898 these deposits
will probably be so far developed as to
supply all the tin required for use in the
United States. The present tin product
of the world is between 5000 and co.
coo tons annually, of which over 30 per
cent. comes from the Straits of Malacca.
and is known as straits tin. The impo--
tations of tin into this country amount
to about 1900 tons annually. The use
of tin will be largely increased by the
manufacture of American tin plate
