to perceive how readily he fell under the
spell Of the polite little lady imperial
1t is true that he violated etiquette so
far and so sensibly as to request perms-
during the Interviews permission gra-

less much more like the ardent subject

at Dean Stanley's one afternoon in 1869
that the meeting took place, with several
other notabilities present.
The queen he wrote Jean Carlyle,

The FItrsernId Colony.

Within a year the counties OF Wilcox

10 their populations. Mr.. Fitzgerald. the
manager OF the Fitzgerald colony. IS now
in Wilcox county closing the deal Tor more
than one hundred thousand acres OF land
in that county and the adjoining county
Of Irwin. Mr.. Fitzgerald announced a day
or two ago that the colonists would begin
10 arrive about Sept. 1. but that IL would
be a year before all OF them would reach
their new homes.
The press Of the state has been so oc-
cupied with the silver question during the
last few months that it hasn't given this
colony the attention which its importance
deserves. The colony means a great deal

their material condition. In doing that
they will help the state. They will contri-
butte largely to the making of the coun-
ties Of Wilcox and Irwin rich and pros

They have selected a very fine section
of the state for their homes. The soil
is good. the climate fine and the health
conditions are excellent. Within a few
years the section Of country these colo
nists have purchased will present an en-
tirely different appearance. The timber
will have been cleared OF, the swamps
drained and where there is now almost
unbroken forest there will be cultivated
fields, green meadows. orchards. comfort

But.the coming of the Fitzgerald colony
means more than the improvement OF
Wilcox and Irwin counties. 1t means the
development of portions Of many other
counties of the state, particu-
larry in the southwestern and
southeastern sections, which, on
account OF their fine climate and pro-
ductlve soil. invite immigration. If the
Fitzgerald colony is successful-and who

the Fitzgerald colony prove to be only the
vanguard of fifty thousand other families

The possibility of having a President

coinage Of silver at the ratio Is to l is so
remote that all the consequences OF SUCH
calamity have not been considered The
first of these consequences, and one when
has not yet been discussed, would be the
precipitation of a panic by the collection
from the banks. Just so soon as the
cheapening OF the currency was assured
every man would make a rush 10 collect
of silver came With free coinage the
banks could pay off their depositors at
about 80 cents on the dollar. To prevent
