. reputation as durable as that Of Single
Speech Hamilton, of the British House of
Commons. But the sensation which his first
speech made tempted him to make second,
which had neither beginning, body nor tail.
Everybody listened to it, but nobody could
make out what the young Senator was driving
at Mr.. Sprague himself seemed to have only
a vague purpose of sloshing around generally
His vain endeavors to get into the heart of
his subject resembled those of the pig that
tried to squirm through Virginia worm fence
Into cornield, but always came out on the
same side as that from which he started. A
third and desperate onslaught, preceded by
such beating of gongs and such series Of
somersaults as might have sufiiced to rout an
entire Chinese army, served but to reassure
the alarmed leaders of the radical party, and
rings within rings everywhere began to revolve
securely, recovering from the temporary check
which they had received. After the second
and after the third explosion of Senatorial
wrath against prevalent political, financial and
social wrongs, the gallery, like the 6lass Eng
fish tourist who looked down into the crater of
Vesuvius, ''could see nothing in it."
Undaunted, however, the doughty champion
of Rhode Island and of reform announces his
intention of publishing his recent speeches in
pamphlet form for distribution throughout the
country. Perhaps if Mr.. Sprague were to
make fourth speech, in which he should
grapple firmly with all the great questions
alluded to by him in his first speech, and,
solving them satisfactorily, lay down definite
policy to be pursued by the government and
the people Of the United States, he might very
advantagsously embody his views in PAM
phlet worthy Of general circulation. As il is,
we must remind him that even speeches 80
effective as those of Sheridan at the trial of
Warren Hastings seem to have lost their fire
and force when put into print, if we may
Judge from the brief passages in them that
were printed. We cannot advise Mr.. Sprague
to risk his reputation as sensational orator
by becoming a pamphleteer; but we cannot
hinder him from rushing into print The
'serenade rendered to him by the workingmen
OF the District of Columbia is an indication of
the popularity which the community at large
will readily accord to him if he can carry out
the programme of reform outlined in the first
of his recent speeches. Let him try again.
He may improve and become the great re-
former of the time, and he or his father-in-law
may, on this platform, be the coming man
for 1872.

Spauish Progress.

In the HERALD of Thursday we gave in full
tae text of the new constitution submitted to
the Cortes on the goth utimo by the COM
mittee appointed to draw up the same. SO
far the constitution must be considered step
in the onward and upward direction. Spain
Is still to be monarchy. The monarchy,
however, is to be limited after the fashion of
ministers, who, not the king, are TO be respon-
sble for all executive acts. The power to
nominate and dismiss ministers resides In the
monarch. Ministers may or may not be mem
bers Of either Of the legislative bodies; but if
they do not happen to be members Of the one
body or the other they shall have no right to
take part in the discussions of the Cortes. In
this, 1t will be seen, the English rather than
the French or the American model has been
followed. The two bodies which constitute the
Cortes are to be named respectively Senate
and Congress. The Congress Is TO be totally
renewed every three years. The Senate is to
be renewed by fourth parts every three years.
The functions of the two bodies resembl q
those exercised by the Lords and Commons In
England and by the Senate and House of
Representatives in this country. The right "a
vote In tho election of senator's, deputies To
the Cortes, provincial deputies and coun-
cillors is to belong to every Spaniard In full
possession Of his civil rights. Civil liberty
generally is guaranteed by the projected con
stitution. The religion of the nation Is to b.
Roman Catholic, the nation obliging itself Il
maintain the worship and the ministers of thu
Catholic faith. Spaniards and foreigners pre-
fcrring any other religion are TO be guar
anteed the right 70 worship "without othe
limitations than the universal rules Of moral
aud Of right" The monarchy. we ought h

The Labor Question.

We congratulate Mr.. Wendell Phillips upon
having discovered new theme, broader and
deeper than the system of negro slavery,
against which he has so persistently and sue
cessfully waged war with all his extraordinary
powers of arousing public attention. The
labor question really underlies all the ques-
lions that float on the surface of contemporary
discussion. Its overwhelming importance has
very recently been attested BY professions Of
personal interest in the welfare of the working
classes on the part of the Emperor of the
French, and also by the special care which the
English historian Froude took to dwell upon
the requisite provisions for their education in
his eloquent inaugural address as rector of
the University Of st. Andrews. Mr.. Wendell
Phillips, in addressing recently the commit
tee appointed by the Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture to investigate the hours of labor, estimated
the earnings of the laboring classes in our
country at two billions annually This fact
certainly demands the attention of legislation
to their interests. The tendency, particularly
apparent since the war, of legislating for the
rich and the poor as Independent classes can
not be too much deprecated. AS an immediate
result the rich are growing richer and the poor
poorer. The growing evil of separate educa-
tion for the children of the rich involves both
to them and to the children of the poor the
Loss of the mutual benef. of early contact aud
seriously impairs the interest of our Weather
citizens in the public schools. Mr.. Phillips
exaggerates, If not the duty, at least the power
of the republican party to secure the rights of
the laboring people. To accomplish this is the
exclusive prerogative of no political party
whatever. But undoubtedly great problem
of American craftsmanship is to make corpo-
rations consistent with American institutions.
''The great question Of the future is co-opera-
ton, to which we must come sooner or later"
Mr.. Phillips prophesies truly that when the
time comes in this country that permanent
laboring class shall exist the knell Of republic
can institutions will have sounded.
