Gobierno con jueces inamovibles, siste,
ma nunca practica'lo; una ley electoral QUE
Sc aproxme en- 10 possible, & la perfection
para que los eleg'dos sean la representa-
cian genuina de los electores; un sistema
de Hacienda que, abriendo las fuentes de
la riqueza pdblica, acrezca los rendmien-
tos Y disminuya las coutribuciones; una
bien entendida decentralization un sis
tema administrative que haga que Madrid
no consuma la vida de las provincias, con
empleados celosos y honrados, que no de,

novar como hoy por complete los funcio-
narios pdhlicos, nj destituir!os sino por
medic de sentencia judicial; reduction de
la deuda espanola y revision de las clas-
icaciones de las classes pasivas, para que
solo reciban sus retiros a4uellos que real
leg1timamante han servido la nacion:
medidas todas que deben ii unidas 4 una

ciplna, no sea promovido captain, ell
captain, por ell m6rito de la insubordina-
cion, a coronel, sino que, por ell contrario,
haga que el soldado leal obtenga la recon-
pensa de su conducta. Ell ei6rcito debe
saber que no sirve 4 ningun gobierno en-
particular, sino cue es el protector de los
intereses del pals.
Tales son, en- mi opinion, las principa-
les bases de un gobierno bastante fuerte
para poner termino las perturbaciones
que durante medic siglo han empobrecido
& Esp&na, y corregit y modlfi ar 10 que la
experienced ha demostrado Ser necesaro.
De esta suerte el pueblo espanol podra
gozar los bene6cios de la verdadera liber-
tad, sendo proteg dos por Ia sociedad los
ciudadanos honrados industriosos, cast-
gados los crimlnales y extirpados los vicios
que Sc han inoculado en- nuestra juvertud,
resultado de los habitos de vagancia y de
placer, de frecuentes revueitas motines
de la inmoralidad de gobiernos corrom~
pidos y corruptores.
A los que nos objetan que Ia elevation
de esta monarqula sorfa la sehal de Ia do
minacion del clero, les contestare que esta
distingnida clase de la sociedad, que ha
dado y esta dando tantas pruebas de virtud
y resignation ante injustas persecuciones,
debe ejercer su sagFado ministerio en- el
temple 4 la cabeza de los moribundos,
practioar la carload y no apartarse nunca
de su santa mission de paz.
A mi juicio, todos estos principles, con
IN sew ro regimen de economic en- todos
los ramos del servicio p6blico, contendr&n
las ambiciones, que han sjdo tan desastro-
sas en- nuestro pals, y dalan al pueblo es-
panol la prosperiiad que tan ard'entemen
te desea. Lo que aqul consigno es ell fru-
to de muchos amos de estudios meiita-

graciado pals, en- favor del cual, el que

4 BOSTON ADVENTURES.
The Career of walter MOntgOme-
ry's Spurious WldOw..Driyes
One Husband TO Suicide and An
other Into Bankruptcy. p"

A Boston letter writer gives some new
details regarding the career o. the ad.
ventures who was married in London
to the late well-knowu actor, Walter
Montgomery, a marriage which was al.
most immediately followed by the sui.
eide of the bridegroom. This woman
was one Of the coryphees at a Boston
theater when she attracted the attention
of an old, Tut wealthy citizen, who was
foolish enough to marry her The union
was not happy one.as the woman soon
developed fondness for fast society
which was anything but agreeable to hel
aged spouse. Finally,she ran away and
visited England, where, as is well known
she was married to Mr.. Montgomery
who was on the point of visiting the
United States. fo.f
1t has been said that his modification
on discovering the true character of the
person whom he had welded drove him
to the desperate step Of taking his own
life in preference to meeting the scorn
which he expected to receive from the
world when the facts should become
known. ,'4 ss- ~ arr.- .c,-- .,g
Mr.. Montgomery dead and buried, the
spurious widow returned to her legiti
mate husband in Boston, who appears te
have been SO infatuated with the unprin
cipled adventures as to have lost all re
gard for his own honor or good name
The treacherous woman was received
with open arms and supplied with unlim
tied sums of money She appeared ir
public on every occasion with all posi-
BILE display, making profnse and osten
tatious expenditure of her husbands
wealth. In the course of few month:
the foolish old gentleman's means were
all squandered away, and very recently
his name has appeared in list of bank
rupts. AS might have been expected,th'
woman who had caused his. ruin desert
ed him as soon as his ability to admins
ter to her extravaganza had failed.

Wales, who, after taking the Princess to
see an indecentplay at the Varieties the.

cancan. No respectable working man
would think of taking his wife to the
place, and before the war there was an
outcry in the papers because some mem
