Tm QuHsN OF SPAIN AND THE Po5I.-Ths
Atlantic telegraph informs us that the Queen
Of Spain has made an offer to the Pope Of
residence at Granada, and that Spanish
vessels-of-war are placed at bis disposal In
case OF emergency. This Is giving definite
shape to that support Of the descendant Of st.
Peter that Was vaguely promised from the
same source some days ago. 1t would doubt
less DO idle to argue the. wisdom Of this
measure on the part Of Spain or to urge that
that country has had too much Of the Pope
already. 1t Is true, however, that Spain was
once the foremost Of European countries in
national vitality and that within her limits
began, in Western Europe, that appearance Of
the people in the government that has since
made memorable epochs in the history of other
countries. The first popular representative
Assembly of Western Europe was Spanish.
Spain had the start of France and England in
the great race Of national development, and 1t
is at least remarkable coincidence that
while she is now far behind them, and even
behind all other European countries in that
race, she is also the one CHRISTIAN country that
has never sympathized in any degree with the
spirit of the reformation-has never awakened
to the discovery that blind adherence to the
Church is inconsistent with modern civil-
cation.
As to the Pope, the Spanish offer opens the
door only half way to escape from bis diff
culties. If he accepts "a residence at Granada"
he of course gives up the whole question Of
temporal power for which he has hitherto so
stoutly held out He recently declared that
he was "ready to die in defence Of the right"
and as the right referred to is in the matter of
temporal sovereignty, he can only die in de-
fence Of it at Rome His going to Spain, as it
must settle the question against him, would
also, after such brave words, look like fight.
But he has also said that elf necessary he would
seek the exercise Of his ministry in another
land !" and such declaration would secm to
indicate that he had already determined to re-
linquish that perilous part of his greatness that
lies in a material diadem. IF the question Of
temporal power is once determined the rest
will be easy;for the amable, pure minded and
sincere old man will find a congenial refuge in
the ancient Moorish stronghold, where, sur
rounded by devout and faithful people and
far removed from the political storms Of this
working-day world, out Of the very reach Of
news, he may dream that he has gotten away
into the fifteenth century and is the head Of a
quiet, credulous and Catholic world So he
may die in peace, perhaps the last Of the Popes
Of Rome.

the Tweed and Cornell "ring," but claimed
that he had protected the taxpayers from
many of their schemes Of plumber. The Mayor
will now have an opportunity of proving his in
dependence Of the "ring," and the people will
be able to Judge Of the sincerity Of his profess
sions by the character Of his nominee for this
important Office.
There are various rumors a1osi in reference
to this matter. II Is said that the Mayor is So
liciting Messrs. Cornell and Tweed to resign
their Offices prior to tho expiration of their
term. This step is urged on the ground that
II will weaken the 1ght certain to BIO made
against the "ringr candidates in the charter

pendent Of the "ringr he viii not hesitate to
send In the name Of some citizen for the Office
Of Street Commissioner who is known to be .
friend Of city reform, whether Mr.. Cornell
should consent or refuse to resign. Indeed,
the very request for resignation would seem
to imply bargain between the Mayor and
the present Street Commissioner.
In 1861 the Legislature passed an act ex-
tending tho Street Commissioners term OF
ofnce to four years, and providing that he
should only be removed In the same manner a.

Ii ANY PERSON who has reached that
respectable period of existence termed
middle age, and having seen all the con,
