THE PROSPECT IN SPAIN.

There arc few events in the recent history
of Europe which filled the party of Progress
and Liberty everywhere with greater joy than
the success Of the recent revolution in Spain.
The throne, in the first place, which was over
thrown, was the most hated and despised in
Europe Hated at home so much that, in the
success of the revolution, the adherents OF
Queen Isabella seemed on a sudden to have
become extinct; hated abroad to such an eX-
tent that hardly single monarch manifested
any sympathy with the deth:oned Queen.
The participation of the people at large was
of the most gratifying kind. The movement
was not, as many previous reyolts had been, n
military insurrection. Within few days every
large city had risen against the Queen and
formed its revolutionary junta. 1t was not,
as many believe, a demonstration of con-
paratyely small fraction of the intelligent
classes; but thousands in all the large cities
took an active part in the demonstrations OF
the Liberal party, and all correspondents OF
foreign papers expressed their surprise at the
number of decided Liberals and even Repubh-
cans, and the marvellous rapidity with which
this party was growing.
The cordial agreement between all the sec
tons of the Liberal parties excited the admi-
ration of the world, and raised the most en-
thusiastic hopes for the future of Spain. The
Spanish Liberals, it seemed, had pro6ted from
the sad lesson which the failure of the reyolu-
tons of 1913 so clearly teaches and were de-
termined to avoid the mistakes which in other
counties had deprived the Liberals OF the
fruit of their hard-won victory. Monarchists
and Republicans found tho common ground on
which alone both can meet-sovereignty of the
people and universal suffrage. There was no
doubt that together the three Liberal
parties-the Liberal Union, the Pro.
gressists, and the Democrats Represented
On overwhelming majority of voters, and if
they agreed upon u fusion ticket would have
commanded an overwhelming majority of the
Constituent Assembly. new Constitution,
based on an explicit recognition Of the prin-
ciple of popular sovereignty and upon universal
suffrage, would have made Spain, if not re-
public, at least the freest monarchy of the
world. With the transition within three
months from the reign of Isabella to the rank
of the freest monarchy of Europe, all parties
might well have been for the present content
hoping for a full realization of their ideas in
the future.
And what q glorious influence would Spain,
thus reconstructed, have exercised upon all
Europe! What an encouragement would a
Radical Ministry ia Spain he to the Liberal
party In France and to the Party of Action in
Italy The encouragement would have been
all tho greater, as Radical Ministry would

Adyices from Maine indicate very general
desire that Vice President Hamlin should be
returned to the Senate for six years from the
4th of March next. This is a matter which
pertains more directly to the Legislature and
People of Maine, who will doubtless deal with

vice would crafty many thousands throughout
the country, who know nothing OF his views
or wishes, but who profoundly feel that it was
n dark day for the Republic when Conven-
ton largely composed of or inspired by ONCE
holders and contractors decreed his displace-
ment as Vice-Presidcnt to make room for
Andrew johnson, and who would like to see
some reparation made for that grave error.
Mr.. Hamlin held tho most desirable post IN
New-Engand-that of Collector for the port OF
Boston-when Andrew Johnson commenced
those antics which have rendered his name
unsavory: he might have held his peace and
his place, as many office holding Republicans
did: but that was not his way He resigned
his Office and took the stump for Liberty and
Loyalty, and has done yeoman service IN the
ranks ever since. Having filled every post in
the gift of his fellow citizens from representative
in the Legislature up to Vice President Mr.. Ham
lin, no longer young, may DO averse to farther

fidelity, his experience, and his well-earned pop

and clearly forecast the result. As
debater he is ineffective, but his speeches
arc always read a, fascinating and
brilliant essays He may be regarded as GER
tain to make an able administrator; and he
will at least have the advantage, to begin with,
of knowing something of what he undertakes
to administer. His acceptance of Office is a
little strange, as he has hitherto been foremost
among that considerable body of Radicals who
avowedy regard Mr. Gladstone with political
dislrust and personal dislike.
1t would be interesting to know what Mr..
Disraeli thinks of the new Ministry We can
not help fancying that as he studies its com
position a new hope must have warmed his
heart and twinkled in his eye. We cannot
help believing that as he glances down the
list of names-sees Lowe high up in power, and
thinks of English Radicals and Irish tenant
right; sees the Dukes and the Wings in their
old places, and Bright not in any pace-the
thought must come into his mind that the offer
of quiet peeragc to him was little prema-
ture.

we presume it also includes the cost OF
River and Harbor Improvements, which, be-
ing made under the charge of the En-

Prssdent.
This dispatch comes from the Associated
Press, we believe. We have no feeling about
Mr. Worden, but we desire TO protest against
any appointment to fill his place. The Presi-
dent has no right to employ man as q sec
"retary,r and 10 give that man facilities for
selling matter to such newspapers as choose to
give him additional compensation for exclusive
news. Mr. WOrden's appointment has been
one of the scandals Of this Administration. 1t
has really been an insult to all the newspapers
that did not see fit to take him into employ
ment The Presidents secretary should take
especial charge of giving proper news to all
journals, and he should do his work impair
TALLY He should make no discrimination in
furnishing news, and he should not be allowed
10 receive any compensation for this work.
The American press would very gladly pay the
expense Of employing IN additional secretary,
who would prudently control the publication
of Executive news, but it does not want that
Office monopolized by any special journal We
have never had reason ourselves to complain
of Mr. WOrden's appointment, but, as we are
now entering upon new regime, we think 1t
proper to put upon record our protest against
the continuance of his Office.
