made q trip on one Of our lake steamers.
During his absence the children were

such comforts as they could reasonably
desire. On Saturday night he returned,

Queen Isabella Of Spain Refuses to
%<As,sffe6fa.,- -

The Queen of Spain, we are told, re-
fuses to abdicate in favor of the Prince
of Asturias, and has been induced TO
take this course by the advice of friends.
We should have thought that, under the
circumstances, "abdicate" was not the
word to be used by monarch who was
driven from the throne without being
able to rally supporters enough to make
one decent fight. And we should
scarcely think that the abdication of his
mother would have increased the pros
poets of the youthful Prince of Asturias
very materially, or that her refusal to
abdicate will exercise much influence on
the course of events in Spain. But there
undoubtedly is certain party in Spain
which would gladly see the old dynasty
restored in some shape or form, and it is,
we suppose, in Difference to the advice OF
the leaders of that party that Queen Isa-
bella declines to renounce her personal
claims to the throne. She must be thor
oughly imbued with the Bourbon ina
bility to learn or to forget, however,
if she thinks that the adherents OF
her dynasty can ever restore it. 1t
is true that it seems impossible
at present to manufacture King
out of any foreign princeling, that there
are difficulties in the way OF electing a
born Spaniard to the throne, and that the
majority Of the Spanish people are still
averse to the idea of republic. But it
by no means follows because of all this
that Spain is prepared to revert to lsa-
bella, or accept any puppet that might be
put up in her name. We rather fancy
that Queen Isabells's refusal to abdicate
is of Just about as much political impsr-
tsnce as her abdication would have been
and no more. In one respect, sup
posing her to be actuated only by sim
cere desire to preserve the dynasty, her
decision is scarcely complimentary to the
Spanish people. The Prince of Asturias
at least has hitherto preserved an un.
blemished character, aud has not prsc-
tically exhibited any utter incapacity for
government. And yet Queen Isabella
considers herself likely to prove the more
popular candidate ofthe two.-New York
