THE THUNDERER ON THE MONARCHY QUESTION.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Times, on the situation
in Spain, foresees that the understanding be-
tween Prim and Serrauo must end he cleo
ton OF king affords the least opportunity
they could have for dissolution of partner
ship, which could otherwise hardly be effected
without disastrous outbreak. The Unionists
have no chance of success. After weeks
vain debate in the Cortes, the ministers of that
party have resigned. SerranO must follow
them, and then Prim remains master of a stu
alton which suits him. At least, he wishes to
have the substance of power, and some one in
vested with its sembance. For the past wear
Serrano has served a cloak for his ambition
If SerraDO withdraws and the Duke of Genoa
is not brought in, then Prim stands forth ex-
OF the small; alone, between friends who do
not trust him and enemies who, when the
time comes, will not spare him.

THEY have Collector of Customs at Port
Huron, Mich, who is either a model officer or
else an officious fool, we hardly know which,
judging from his latest exploit On Monday a
party of excursionists arrived there from Mon
treal, over the Grand Trunk railway composed
mostly of railroad people, including Mr. Pot
ter, of England, President of the Grand Trunk
road, and Mr.. Bridges, the Managing Direc-
tor. They had the directors car of the Grand
Trunk, and proposed to go on with it to Chica-
go and st. Louis. Bu6 before proceeding the
Collector demanded ths t a duty of $3.50, in
gold, be paid on the car, and in vain were all
protests, the as sertion that it was not intended
to keep the car in this country, and the point
ing to the fact that cars are run into and out
OF Canada every day, on roads that connect,
without the payment of any duty. The Col
lector was obdurate however, and actually col
lected the money before he would allow the
tourists to go Oh. II this official was only exc
cutting the law, all right 1t is his duty and he
has no business to show favors to ybody
But his course was so contrary to thei usual
custom, both in Canada and the United States,
that it looks as though the official had been
stretching his brief authority.
