THAT

The Citizen econds H OPTICS motion
that NJ. A. Otero, of Las Vegas, is the right
man for chairman of the Territorial cen
trail committee.-/buquerqu Citizen.
A good many people and republican 70
tiers do not know about this, to any alarm
ing extent. IL the suggestion arises from
a deal made at the recent Albuquerque re-
publican convention, and this ia believed
by some on the inside to be the case, it
may not be as easily carried into effect as
it would seem. Besides, the republican
nominee for delegate to congress ought to
have a good deal to say in the matter. Ex-
Solicitor General Bartlett, who is the pres
ent chairman, has made an efficient and
pains taking official, and the Bee knows OF
no good reason why he should be displaced.
Vaulting ambition may overleap itself in
this case of M. A. Otero. Enough for the
present.-San Morcial Bee.
THE Optic speaks timely and accu-
rately when it enters an emphatic de-
NAL to the statement that a deal was
entered into at the Albuquerque con
vention, whereby M. A. Otero is to be
pushed for the republican chairman
ship. He is in no sense a candidate
for the place, and those friends nearest
to him are trusting and hoping that he
will not act in that capacity unless it is
clearly shown that it IS to the party's
interest for him to make the personal
sacrifice that an acceptance would
mean to him.

1T is an experience Of publishers
that too many people are apt to think
it matters but little whether the news
paper bill is paid promptly or cot,
that it is a small sum and is of but
little consequence. This is not be-
cause the subscribers are unwilling to
pay, bat rather because they are
negligent. Each one imagines- be-
cause his years indebtedness amounts
to so small a sum, the publisher cannot
be much in want Of it, without for a
moment thinking that the income OF a
newspaper is made up Of just such
small amounts, and that the aggregate
Of all subscriptions is by no means an
inconsiderable sum of money, without
which publishers could not continue to
issue their paper. The proper way is
to pay always in advance and there is
no trouble.

MCKINLEY's nomination for the
presidency at the st. Louis convention
no longer admits Of a doubt, says the
New York World, which paper, on
March 10th last, made the unqualified
prediction, based on a thorough can
vass of the country, that he would be
the republican candidate. State con-
ventions held since that date have
served to confirm the accuracy of the
Worlds information and to establish,
beyond question, that no combination
of bosses can compass his defeat.

THURSDAYS BUSINESS.

Late Wednesday, afternoon the
case of the state va. T.. A. Flood ca anle
up for trial. Several agents Of the
Deering Machine company swOre
that Flood had admitted that cer-
tnin ns,fes were forged, and Sedlecki,
whose mark was attached to the
note, swOre it was not by his an-
thority. Flood swore it was not
forged, and Frank Heroux swore he
was present when Sedlecki signed
the note. The trial was completed
Thursday forenoon. and the jury
went out to consider the case shortly
before noon.
Lucius Forbes. convictedof assaul
in Tho second degree, came up for
sentence at noon. After remarks by
his attorney, E. =. Smith, and Connty y
Attorney Rhodes, the Judge sentenced
him to pay 500 or suffer the mini
mum Imprisonment, which is two
years in state prison. There was no
disposition On the part of the State
to make the punishment severe, and
the fine will probably no more than
pay the States expenses in the
prosecution.
1t is certain that no attack on
Neuman was intended, hut the
trouble developed into a good deal
more serious matter than was
planned. Young Forbes got into on
ugly mess, with no really criminal
intent, and his punishment was
severe enough. The other case
