his remarks Of the day before and spun

Spain-HIOre Trouble.

It does not seem that Spain is in any more
hopeful condition now than she has been any
time these last twelve months, unless indeed,
the almost certain prospect Of anarchy be o
hopeful sign. We do not attach much import
ance to the reception which has just been
given to the Duke of Montpenser in Madrid.
1t is not difficult for government to get up
such a sensation. It is spoken of as an
ovation, and again we are told it was
not an ovation. Still it is feature
of the hour, and if it indicates anything it
indicates that even Montpensier as King
would be preferred by the people of Madrid
and Of Spain generally to that anomalous thing
ment. 1t is fact Of deep significance that
Prim and his colleagues assert that Mont
pensier's advent will not lead to a com
d6tat, yet they are finding it necessary
to transfer colonels Of regiments and to re-
move or transfer 30 many governors of pro-
vpqss. s0gs thirty ysriA sria changes, it is said,
have been made within the last ttsw days.
The Carlists, too, are waking into something
uhe me- Nor iS IL pOSSlUle 10 uOuDt taat the
enormous sums of money which the ex-Queen
is said to have spent during the last few
months have been used in part, at least. for
political purposes. 1t is our opinion that If
Montpensier can make himself for reason
able length of time popular in Madrid he will
stand fair chance of being elected King.
But we are by no means satisfied that such
an arrangement will be permanent success.
Like Spaniards out Of Spain, like the mixed
breeds of Cuba, of Mexico and Of South
America. Spaniards in Spain seem to be hope
lessly demoralized.
