The Las Vegas Optic has served notice
on the boys that it may bolt, in case the
Territorial republican convention indorses
cne platform or It's partya Tho A~lhnnnar-
que Citizen declares that, should the Terri
torial republicans fail to (indorse the plat

ALSO there you are! When such doctors
disagree, who shall decide? Surely, our
republican brethren are in a peck of trou.
BILE, these bright days.-New Mexican.
Once for all, we will say that The
Optic will be for the nominee of the
Las Vegas convention, teeth and toe
nails, whoever he may be, or from
whatever part OF the Territory he may
hail. Suffice it to say, as regards that
matter of platform, there is not the
least doubt in the world but that the
committee on resolutions who frame it
will take off their sombreros and bow
most politely to the white metal.

WHETHER free coinage of silver
would really be beneficial or injurious
for the country, will never or the face
Of the earth be settled by argument. 1t
has got to be tried. The conflict is as
irrepressible as the old slavery ques.
ton was before the war settled it. II
free coinage should be defeated, this
fall, the contest will not cease, but it
will be renewed with more violence
than ever. In all human probability,
the good and the i'll Of 1t have been
immensely exaggerated, but be that as
it may, the people are possessed OF the
belief that free coinage Of silver is in
some way essential to general relief,
and that the great money kings oppose
it because they can make more money
by keeping a gold standard. The
feeling prevails that what these great
money brokers want is not for the ia.
terests OF the masses. The question
will have to be settled either by exper-
imeut or by the country becoming so
prosperous aud The people so conterted
that the agitation will cease through
public content.

A REPRESENTATIVE OF the Scottish
American mortgage and trust company
OF Dundee, Scotland, said at the Mid
land hotel in Kansas City, the other
day, that an effort would be made by
fnreion invastmant companies To pro-
cure the repeal Of the allen land law,
now in force IN Missouri and Kansas.
According to this law, he says, no for
eign corporation, more than 20 per
cent. OF whose stockholders are non
residents of this country, is allowed to
hold the title to real estate. This law
has deferred large amounts of capital
from investment in Missouri and Kan
sas real property. There are millions Of
foreign capital that would readily seek
investment IN American realty If there
were no obstacles such as the alien law,
to prevent it.

From the Tucson, Arizona, Citizen, Gath.
Col. G. G. Fitzgerald, superintendent
OF the Empire amelting company Of
Crittenden, had been indisposed for
some time past. He was unable to
arrive at any satisfactory conclusion as
to what the disease really was. Late
ly, he was examined by Drs. Cheno-
woth and Wells, OF Nogales. who In
formed him that symptoms OF Bright's
disease were plainly visible, but they
apprehended nc serious consequence,
at least for the present. The colonel
came to Tucson on Saturday evening
last, and although he complained OF
feeling bad, he had M idea that he
was i'll enough to cause any alarm. He
was stopping at Miss Halls with his
wife and little SOD, Harold. Yester-
day, Drs Rogers and Matas made an
examination and asserted that his was
a well defined case Of Bright's disease,
which vas affecting the action of the
heart. 1t was the intention Of the
physicians to hold another and more
thorough examination to-day. This
morning, Colonel Fitzgerald raised
himself in bed, with an apparent show
Of returning strength, and said IL
wish the doctors would locate my all
ment." He lay back upon the pillow
and in a few moments expired.
Mrs. Fitzgerald IS overwhelmed with
grief, and the appeals Of her manly
little son, Harold, who is twelve years
old, that she will not give way under
her burden OF sorrow, are extremely
touching.
In the death of Col. Fitzgerald,
Pima county has lost n of her most
enthusiastic admirers and earnest
workers. The magnitude of his efforts
are not generally understood. Like
all successful business men, the de-
tails of his work were not published
abroad. He had bonded two mines
from Hon. r. r, Richardson, and was
experimenting the construction of a
100.ton smel.er about three miles be-
low Crittendep. This was only the
first of a number of smelters which
Col. Fitzgerald would have erected in
that neighborhood, and had he lived
to consummate his plans, the company
he represented would have ultimately
handled almost the entire output Of ore
from the rich section surrounding
Crittenden. The world a i'll spare
such a man as Col. Fitzgerald, and his
place will be hard to fill.
The sympathy of the entire Terri
tory is with his bereaved family in
their sudden afiic.ion.

Different Schools.


The editor of the Las Vegas CAILy
Optic and the writer Of editorials for
the columns of the Albuquerque EUen-
ina Citizen evidently do not graduate
from the same republican school.
From an editorial in Tuesdays Optic,
we clip the following: "***Let every
one understand that the republican
party of New Mexico stands for pro.
lection, free coinage and statehood
*t*" From a recent issue of the Cif-
zen: "**"If the free-coinage PROPOSE
tion carries, the United States will be
placed on exactly the same monetary
basis as Mexico, and with a debased
money, laboring men will be the first
and principal sufferers. ***"
