Unity of Action.

From the San Marcial Bee.&f
Russ Kistler was himself when he
penned that editorial in Tuesdays
Optic %counseling that "other plans,
other methods, and in some localities,
other men, must dominate sffairs II
the republican party is destined to win
In New Mexico this fall" Deliberation
and care should be, used In the selec-
ton of delegates to the nominating con.
vention. Instead Of having one-man
primary meetings, let all good republic
cans commence the real work Of the
campaign previous to the call for pri-
mary meetings, to the end that there
may be a thorough understanding OF
public sentiment as to the individuality
of the standard bearers desired and
their prospects of running a winning
race on a track clear OF bosslsm and
ring control. There is no justice nor
wisdom in a few self selected
delegates getting together and forcing
upon the party d slate previously pre-
pared and in the making of which not
even a suggestion is expected or per-
mitted from the convention represen-
tatives Of the many districts. The
coming campaign will be too close to
permit of suicidal tactics, and the man
or faction that will attempt to force
upon the voters undesirable candidates,
will enjoy a discouraging surprise at
the counting CT votes on election day.
Ability alone will not do. With it
must be associated a courteous bear
ing, a desire to consider and cement
the interests and demands of each To-
cality, and above all to lay aside the
idea that 10 one individual, and him
alone, rests the success OF the ticket
The most logical thinker admits that
the republican party of New Mexico
should win, and will win, provided the
many grievous mistakes of some pre-
vious campaigns are not repeated. Let
us be honest and straightforward
among ourselves. Give the most pop
ular and available men the opportunity
to lead, and the result will be the
largest republican majority in the his
tory of the Territory.

THE Optic man has been permitted
by the grace of q friend to read an able
and carefully written letter on the
coinage question, from a large eastern
jobber to a sor, who is at present visit
ing relatives in this city and. while it
was not handed to US with the view to
having a single syllable of it appear in
print, yet it coming from the source it
does and embodying the opinion of a
gold standard advocate, we cannot re-
train from reproducing the closing
paragraph of this lengthy personal let
ter from father to son:
The democratic platform and the demo-
cratic candidate, Mr.. Bryan, are both the
result Of emotion end not of Judgment.
Neither meet with my approval; and,
while / am free to say that the mode and
manner In which Mr.. Hanna controlled
the republican nomination did not suit
me, yet ! feel In duty bound to support the
republican nomination, because l believe
that the election of Mckinley, the return
Of the republican party to power, and the
enactment OF a wise. moderate and Just
tariff law, would bring prosperity to the
country and set at rest the pernicious state
Of doubt and perplexity in which the pub
lie mind now finds ITSELF.

THE Optic has been doing a good
deal Of protesting, on the quiet, Of late,
and it was clear TO the close observer
of political events that there was some
thing in the air. But we had no idea
that The OPTIC would have the cour.
age to send forth such a broadside as
this in criticism of its W party. A
sensation has thereby been created in
the republican camp. The OPTIc il
recognizs I'd as the cleanest and mosI
consistent republican journal in the
Territory, and however much the
bosses may attempt to poo-pooh Its
charges and belittle its utterances, the
rank and file of the party will indorse
every count in its indictment.

RRYAN ON rREE TRADE.

Following are some extracts from the
speeches on the Wilson tariff bill. de-
livered by Mr.. Bryan at the second
session OF the fity.third congress:
A tariff of 10 per cent, levied ~purposely
for protection, is, as far as the principle IL
concerned, just as indefensibie as a tariff
of 900 per cent.
Wool, for instances, is the chief raw ma
terial In the wooden industry, and II has
been placed upon the free list. Whether
the tariff on wool has raised the price OF
wool to the sheep grower above the point
it would have reached without a tariff, IL a
question which has been discussed rather
than settled. Speaking for myself, 1t 10
immaterial, In my Judgment, whether the
sheep.grower receives any benefit from
the tariff or not. Whether he does or does
not, whether the wool manufacturer col
lects a compensatory duty from the con-
sumner of wooden goods and pays 1t over to
the wool.grower. or collects and keeps 1t
himself, or doesn't collect 1t at all, and
therefore does not need IT., / am for free
wool!
There Is no probability that the sheep
industry will be more injurlously affected
by free wool than 1t has been by pro
lection.
1t is a well-known fact that the pro-
duct has actually decreased l00, 000,-
900 pounds, OF nearly 80 per cent, 10
the United States, since the obnoxious
Wilson bill became a law,o This is an
excellent campaign club with which to
hammer, particularly since the Santa
Fe New Mexican lies and sticks to it, In
the good, old democratic way, when 1t
insists that the tariff plank in the ma
tional platform of the great unwashed
declares it to be a party principle,
under the leadership of Bryan, "not to
discriminate against industries OF any
section, and especially the raw mate
rails of the south and west, including
their wool, hides, sheep, cattle, and
other live stock interests"

THE RUSH FOR DIVORCES
MRS. CALVIN C. CLEAvELAND TELLS
A STORY SOMEWHAT PATHETIC.
After Being Saved by Francis MUIR
ply Her Husband Fell Again
..High Card Dicks" Trial.

Just as the offices in the courthouse We're
closing last right Mrs. Calvin c. cleveland,
wife of sign painter Cleaveland, accom-
panied by an attorney, appeared at the
clerks Office with a complaint for divorce,
which was filed and upon which Judge
Harvey issued writ restraining Cleave-
land from disposing of about $1,000 worth
of personal property.
The complaint alleges that the plaintiff
and defendant We're married Sept. T. 1878,
and that they have lived together as hus-
band and wife ever since and have two
minor children. It is alleged that shortly
after their marriage the defendant became
addicted to the use of intoxicants and con-
tinued heavy drinker until about five
years ago, when he signed a pledge of
temperance and joined the Murphy League.
Then for long period and until June IS,
1896, TO the great joy of his friends the de-
PENDANT refrained from the use of intoxi-
cants. On that date, it is charged, he be-
came drunk and has remained SO ever since
and has squandered $500 in riotous living
and debauchery. The complaint goes on
to say that the defendant has a lot of per-
sonal property, including two diamond
studs, two diamond rings, a gold watch,
three horses, buggy and a trap" which
she fears he will dispose of and squander
the proceeds from them. She asked that
he be restrained from so doing. The re-
straining order was made returnable Sat
urday morning.
A reasonable period for honeymoon had
hardly elapsed in the married life of Elmer
E. and Margaret Gilliand until the former
came to the court asking d legal separa-
ton. The suit was filed yesterday and
went to Room of the Superior Court.
In the complaint Mrs. Gilliand is charged
with cruel and inhuman treatment of her
husband in that she has on divers &C.
casionS and without cause or proVocattOn
failed and refused to prepare breakfast for
the plaintiff This the plaintiff alleges
caused him to do without his breakfast and
likewise his dinner for he was in the habit
of carrying his dinner. The wife is also
charged with having a violent and ungov-
ernable temper, rendering her unfit to
make a home pleasant for plaintiff. The
couple was married June 10. 1896
Attorney Robert E. Smith yesterday filed
terpreted is to the effect that VIM. O..
Simpson wants a divorce from Elma Simp-
on the grounds of cruelty. The best
judgment of the Interpretation is that the
complaint charges that Mrs. Simpson has
neglected him, refused to cohabit with him
and puts in much of her time 'gadding
about the streets at night. 1t is also said
that she receives "opera tickets and other
articles of value from persons unknown to
the plaintiff
Katherine Duffy was another applicant
for divorce, seeking legal separation from
John H. Duffy. She alleges that for the
last two years he has failed to provide for
an habitual drunkard, and that during the
time they lived together he starv ed her
and beat her and threatened to kill Ter and
attempted to do so.
