Nebraska Is no exception. Suv- einl of our state chniltable Institutions have been crented for tlio suppoit of their promotoi s. This Is notably tine of the Home for the Kilendless at Lincoln , \\hoe of ficers arc now making n desperate offoit to letalti contiol In spite of the law passed by the last loglslatuie , vest ing Us management u holly In the state. This hoin 'oilglnally piirpoilodi to be a private Institution for the caie of desti tute and homeless children. In reality It waa ftoin the outlet a liomu for thilfly , Indolent chailty lolibjl.sts , who main tained themselves nnd theh slsteis , cousins nnd aunts In clover nt the state expense , lively aiicreedlng legislature has boon impni tuned In the name of the filendlesa for Ulnna ! apptoprlatlons i'or sahules to mations and attendants , for new buildings ami repairs to old buildings. At the end of every Use yeais the same friendless ehailtyoikois have had a dellclt for the legislature to mnke good , all Inclined for the relief of suffer ing mid friendless humanity. The extent to which the state has been Imposed on by this Institution cannot be aseeitalHod , because no outsider has ever been able to get on theInside , The only Iniormatlon within icacli Is pie- sented by tha lepoits of the olllcers of the home to the state boaul. In the last icpoit It appeals tint the \\oul "filend- less" Is n veiy elastic teim. In older to swell the list of Inmates nnd bolstei up the poilodle demand for moie state money , the doois of the Institution ap- pe.u to have been tin own wide open to young and old , the able-bodied and the halt , those who have filends and those who have no f i lends chlelly , however , those who have fi lends with a pull. The total number of pei- sons admitted dining the bieiiniuin ending November , ' ! 0 , l.S'.HJ ' , is lepoited as GUI' , of whom IJ07 , or virtually one-half , aie ciedited to Lancaster county. The only lational Infeieiice to bo diawn from this showing Is that Iho taxpayeis of the state me supporting ne.uly sill the paupeis of Lancaster county and some that me not paupoih and not entitled to any public lelief. Kioin a homo for friendless childien the homo has become n lefonnatoiy for waywmd women and a lice boauling house tor women who aie out of woik. Incidentally It also claims to be taking in tinInllrm and improvident who would otheiwise be ch.uges on the counties fiom which they come. While distiUnit ing benevolence in pi In1 packages at the expense of the state the manageis tor the home have 11101 cover extended their favois to filendless icsldents of other states mid Nebiaska taxpa.veis aie foolIng - Ing the bills for people fiom Kansas , Iowa , Coloiado , Illinois , Mlssoml , Texas , Dakota and Michigan. When the. other states hear of this wide open establish ment they will doubtless be glad to un load moie of their must friendless poorhouse - house Inmates upon the compulsoiy chaiity of Nebiaska. The conflict now being waged In the coutts over the conliol of the home should In the end piovc beneficial to the state. It has diawn attention to the abuses of the system under which Up state has been niUKctl and should icsult either In the abolition of the Institution or n thorough icoiganizatlon th.it will limit Us opeiation.s within the bounds contemplated by the law. Tin : nx/anrs erA A highly intending routine of the tieasury icpoiL legmdlng exports aie the liguies showing the increase in the amount of coin sent abioad. It appeals that for .Inly the shipments of this ce- ical exceeded IL',000000 bushels , which was a gain oC CO per cent over the ex- potts for the coiiesjiondlng month of the previous year while dining the seven months ending .Inly 1 the ship ments amounted to neatly lliuXXl.OOO bushels , against i ! 1,000,000 bushels In the same peilod of the year betoie. It Is thus shown that Ameiican coin is glowing In favor in Km ope and while the Inciease In Hie demand is not so gieat as to have any veiy appieelable effect upon our laige smplus pioductlon It neveilheless eiicomages the hope that within a few yeais our coin expoits will have attained largo piepoitlons and become one of the most impoitant ele ments In out foielgn Hade. It would thus hcom that the cffoits which have been made to Intiodiice our coin abioitl bavo not been without avail anil the ( ] UCHllon this suggests is whether it would not bo good policy to make fur- thei'systematic ofloit of the same kind. Thi.s policy was abandoned by the Agil- cnUina ] dopaitmcnl under the last ad- minlstiatlon , bei'.uise It did not appear to promise : hallsfactoiy icsults. Now that the conditions me moie favoiable It would seem that It might be advan- tageoiihly icsumed. Ab OIIIWC LESSON. A dispatch fiom Klvvood , Intl. , a couple of days ago , icpoited the Milpmont of a car load of tin plate to Italy and the In tended shipment of another car load lo England. It leijulicd only a lew lines to tell this and yet the dispatch was moie Interesting and important than many of gieater length. It slilklngly at tested the success of the pioU'etlve pol icy In building up the tin Indiistiy. Seven jeais ago , when n duty was placed on tin plate with a view to estab lishing the Industry here , the country was told by the opponents ot piotec- tlon that It was an Impossible scheme - that no tin plato of any consequence could ever bo made in the United States. It was declared by the free tradeis In and out of congioss that this was an other device to lob the ina.ssss of the people and they persuaded n great many voters In 1SOO that such was the case. Yet huch bus been the giovvth of the tin plate Industry In these few years thnt not only la it supplying most of the home demand , but some mnnufactureis flnd It piolltnblo to make shipments nbroad. A few days ago i was stated that only canneid for expoit nro using foielgu tin , this being of n qnnlity not yet extensively made here , but It Is un doubtedly only n question of time when all the domestic demand for tin will bo uupplled by Aiuerlcuu manufacturers. Moreover , the price ot tin pinto Is lower now tlmn It was seven yenrs ago , al though It was most confidently pre dicted by the free traders that under protection the price would be higher. I-Mvo yenrs ago n republican repie ent- ntlvo from New Yoik , Mr. Unities , said In the course of n colloquy with Mr. AV. .T. Biyan In the house of repiesentn- tlves : "I believe thnt the tin Iff upon tin will lesult In the establishment of an Itidustiy In the United States , will lesnlt In the keeping at homo of ? : tO,000- 000 n yenr thnt hnve been sent abroad , will give employment to 100,000 men in the Industry and will lesult In. cheapen ing the price to the consumers In the United States. " The complete fulllll- meat of this prediction , jeered at by the enemies of piotectlon when mnde , Is n&suied. .llty .S//K/MMA-N / PLAIN TALK. Secretnry Sherman Is being rather shaiply criticised for the plain teimn In which he has talked lecently icgardlug foielgn ntTnlis. The British pi ess bus taken him to task more or less vigor ously for his icmafks lespectlng the gov ernment , tlie most objectionable- feature of which was that Ihiglnnd quart els oftener than she lights , together with the suggestion thnt it Is not always safe to assume that site in leady to follow up evciy quaitel with blows. This was said In leletence to the seal contiovoM.v and the comment of the I/ondon news- papeis showed that It stung. It must be admitted that the language of the hocrotaiy of state was not stilctly diplo matic. Probably no Hiitopean olllclal holding : like position would talk that way and we do not know that theie Is any piecedont for It heie. But after all such plain speaking Is somewhat 10- fieshlng. There was , of couise , no In tention on the pait of Secretmy Shei- man to be offensive , lie did not mean to Imply thnt the Biitish people are eowaully. But ho has n pretty thoiough knowledge of the methods of that go\-- crnmont nnd knows how largely bluff enteis Into them. He stated simply the tuith In aying that Ijiigland qumiels oftener than she lights. No other gov- ofnmont in the woild is so icady to en gage in contiovcislos and to piolong thorn by every mt and device known to diplomacy , yet these eontroveihies or quaitcls have i.uely been followed by blows. Peilmps this is not at all dis ci editable , but still it must be confessed that It is not quite polite on the pa it ot the Ameiican secretary ot htnte to pub licly speak of it. It atToided the Biit- Isli newspapers , however , an opportunity to Indulge in a little chaiacteilslle bravado , all of which is quite harmless. The other criticism ot Secretmy Sher man iclates to Ids opinion icgarding the possible eflect of the assassination of Cauovason affahs In Cuba. The secre tary was reported in an Interview as sayIng - Ing that that event would be very likely to piove disastrous to Spain's hope of letainlng coutiol of Cuba nnd he re- fened to the bad llnanclal condition of Spain and the political dissensions there. His views weie given in the plainest possible Inngungc and hero again ho Is charged with a gune Impiopilety. It Is said that the older odlelals In the Slate depaitment pilvately cxpiess sur prise at the ulleiances of the secretary at this time on Spanish affairs , legaidlng such ultoiances as Indiscreet and at valiance - liance with the policy that has hitherto obtained in the conduct of the head of the depaitment. 1'eihaps there is good giound for this ciitlelsm and it is quite possible that Spain will ask for an ex planation of the secietary's icinaiks , yet he slmply voiced a veiy general opinion In regard to the hope lessness of Spain's sliuggle to retain Cuba. Secietaiy Sherman Is a veteran states man and while he may not be as leained In the diplomatic usages as In some other things , we aio not piepared to admit thnt lliese. utterances of his deseivo the criticism and lebuko they have been subjected to. Still It would unquestion ably be wise and pindent on the pait of Mr. Shcunan to observe more closely than he appears to have done tlie piece- dcnU of the State dcp.utmcnt iu Mich matteis.

The Peruvian government In self-pro tection l.s about to dectce the payment of Its customs dtTlloH in gold. The United Slates requited gold In payment of Import dues dm Ing the Livll war peilod of depieclnted paper. Such n policy of com so would mean the piar- tical abolition of the legal tender quality of silver so far as certain goveinmenl transactions aio concerned , but It would not lie surprising If the pilneipal silver countiles should llnd themst'lves foiced to It by the low ptlco of silver and con sequent depieclatlon of their silver coin age. Secretary of Agilcnltme Wilson's trip thioiigh the west means that vvesteii' In terests me not to be overlooked In that dopaitment under this administration. As the great central nnd westcin states constitute with tlie southern states the pro eminently agricultural regions of the country , it Is natural that the policy of the. Agricultural depaitment should be shaped to meet the needs of the people In those states ar < d nothing Is so well calculated to Impress the secretary with thoae needs aa personal observation and association , Slot machines are nothing more nor less than self-acting gambling devices. Licensing slot machines Is no dllTeient f i om licensing roulette wheels and faro boxes. The slot machine' oulluanco Is lu contravention of the statute prohibit ing games of chance. The council had no right to pass the ordinance and for that reason It should be repealed nn < 3 tlie money H-oUccled under It rofmuied. Instead of JfeVn Ing these machines the law against-keeping gambling devices should be dUK'lly enforced. Any one Who 'believes ' In 1(1 ( to t free sliver colnni e by the United Stntcs In dependent of till other nations and In the payment , v dbbtrt with -IL'-cent dollars lars nt the pleasure of the debtor Is In vited to take1 valt In the so called silver republican pi'fnVjhlos.

Ills willingness to sacrifice himself to shield the bribe-giver deprives him of all claim to credit for honest de votion to public duty. Accoiding to Senator Allen the coming fusion conventions cannot be expected to agiee on a ticket that will bo Nat fncloiy to nil of the silverItc elements.

Ho has also sent about GOO letters to woo growers , asking for lleeces The rtsponsc have been generous , and ( ho visitors wll have every opportunity to sec what sott o wool Montana produces. Dut the principal effort will be made to have a great mineral display. Talking of I recently , Mr Suthcrlln slid. " 1 have sen out about 800 letters to mining men an companies and the responses have been even better than I had hoped. I was our at Dutto last week , and found that quite n number of the owners over there are e.ivlnt ; good specimens to send to Omaha. In a letter recently received from the odlclal at Omaha I waa Informed that a charge would be made for the space wo will occupy with our exhibit. We are now negotiating as to the amount of space and the sum we will pay. The price will , I believe , be a nominal one. I have about decided that i space of 50x50 feet will bo about ns smal as wo can get along with for our mineral exhibit. The display will be arranged in t series of pyramids nnd the specimens , fron each mlno kept together , and not scattered around as they were In Chicago. Our agrl > cultural exhibit will come Into competition woth those from the great agricultural statue of the mlddlo west , and will naturally be overshadowed. Cut we have the chance to load the procession with our mint-mi ex hibit , and that Is the point I deslro to make. "Ono of the good exhibits we will have In the mineral department , " continued Mr Suthcrlln , "will bo our display of coal. the World's fair wo had a poor display of coal , but the promise Is good for a mag nificent showing of black diamonds in Omaha. " Mr. Suthcrlln said It had not been ncces sary to spend much money so far. "The appropriation la small , and wo will not be abio to spread ourselves a great deal. We will have an agrlcultmnl , horticultural and mineral display , sure , and as good as we can get together. There may be an edu cational exhibit , and the Montana House keepers' society have asked for u chance to show tlio women's handiwork. Wo may gei to these two , but It Is not decided. We wll" not have a building at Omaha , and wll probably make our headquarters In the Ne braska building. That state Is going to pui up a big structure , and I have been notified that wo can get headquarters In It , It Is understood that Mr. Marcus Daly Is going to give as much toward the exhibit ai Omaha as the state has appropriated , and If ho does ot course wo can make a better showing than If wo have only the $15,000 to go on.
