The Spanish Revolution-A Grand Opening
for Napoleon.
The success of the revolutionary movement
in Spain, accomplished SO speedily and with so
slight show of opposition that it must have had
the general sanction and support of the whole
people, opens up new era for that nation.
Spain and extend to the entire Latin race of
Europe. FURNISHES to the French Emperor an
opportunity of repeating, on larger scale and
without recourse to war, the game 90 skilfully
played by Prussia under the management of
Bismarck. That game resulted in combining
the various nationalities of Northern Germany
into one great Power, under q sort of federal
organization of which the King of Prussia is
head, with the republican title Of President
This one may result in like federal combination
of the nations Of the Latin race-France, Italy,
Spain, and Portugal, perhaps Belgium also
into one great Power, with Napoleon the Third |
rs President. We do not say that the Emperor
of the French has any such design at present.
We merely express the opinion that If he
would checkmate Prussia, as he desires to do,
and carry out the great modern idea Of bringing
into one system of government the various peo-
pies Of each distinct race, no finer opportunity
for doing so can ever be expected.
From the temper Of the Spanish people
toward the late Queen and her family there
does not appear to be the least chance for any
of them being selected to I'LL the vacant throne.
The choice seems to lie between the King Of
Portugal, Prince Amadeus Ferdinand and
Prince Napoleon. The first and last are sons
in-law Of the King Of Italy, and the second is
his son. This brings Victor Emanuel and his
kingdom into the closest possible relations with
and gives him the deepest interest in the ques-
ton of the Spanish succession. His obligations
to the Emperor of the French, to whom he is
indebted for his kingdom, and the influence
which Napoleon yields in European politics
will serve to make the latter the real master Of
the situation. Following out the plan adopted
by himself in France, the choice of ruler will
probably be left to the popular vote-the pie
5iscite in Spain. 1t is not venturing too much,
however, to predict that the candidate who will
have the support OF the French Emperor will
be the successful one. That candidate will be
almost certainly one OF the three whom we have
named His elevation to the Spanish throne
will be bond Of union between the rulers of
France, Italy, Spain and Portugal; and 1t is
certainly in accordance with the spirit of the
age and with the example set by Germany that
the people Of those countries, identical in
origin, in religion, in language almost, and
occupying contiguous territory, should be
grouped together into one imperial republic,
of which the French ruler should be the Presi-
dent.
A glance at the map Of Europe will show
the Importance Of this combination. Assum-
ing the annexation Of Belgium, in which the
French is the prevailing language, the terri
tory Of this Latin republic would extend from
the mouth Of the Rhine nearly due south
through the Adriatic Sea to the Mediterranean,
without stopping to take into account the
French colonies in Africa. Ia other words, ii
would comprise the whole southwest of Europe,
the region OF vines and olives, of oranges and
citrons, of silk aud cotton. IL would contain
a population of about eighty-ejvht millions
