ct the present moment is the recognized chief of
the unionists. Unhappily the progressist camp
10 divided, through the unbecoming rivalry
and jealousy of Gorilla and sagasta. The
debate which occupied at the close Of last
year 80 much of the time of the Assembly on
the international revealed the fact that the
Gorilla section Of the pro2ressists, while not
abandoning their former principles or ignoring
the obligations they came under at the revolu-
ton, were more than the Sagasta section in
sympathy with the International aud its
tenets. The Sagasta section, however, is the
stronger. 1t is reasonable, we think, to con-
clude that, II the unionists and the more con-
sentative progressists can agree to act
together, Amadeus will be able to form q
strong coalition Cabinet, and thus, for time
at least, make an end of the unhappy divisions
which hinder Spain in the pathway of pros
perty. 1t is well known that though large
numbers of the Spanish people are honestly and
sincerely attached to republican institutions,
and though there are some devoted Carlists
and Alphonsists, the lovers of order through
out the kingdom are most anxious to give
Amadeus fair play. 1t is hard for the Church
to become reconciled to the son of the man
who has despoiled the Papacy of its tempo
ralities; but the Church begins to be Of
the opinion that 1t might be as well under
Amadeus as under Alphonso or Carlos, and
perhaps a little better under Amadeus than
under republican leaders whose infdel and
Communist principles have been openly
avowed. As we have said before, it is not
impossible that the figures indicate the wish
rather than the fact. The presumption, how
ever, is that the result of the elections will be
an immediate gain to the throne.

The Approaching Elections In Spain.

Our latest tslegrapaic advices from
Madrid inform us that the Electoral
Committee Of the ministerial party,
after carefully canvassing the political
Geld, have arrived at the conclusion that
the approaching election will result in the
choice of one hundred and fifty unionists
and one hundred and seventy Sagasta pro-
gressists to the Congress, or lower branch Of
the Cort's. It is possible that these figures
do more than fair justice to the prospects Of
the mlnisterlalists. Looking, however, at the
figures as they are presented to us, we feel
justlfiesin saying that, If correct, they indi-
cate clear conservative m aiority-a majority
large enough to make the throne of Amadeus
secure and to uphold the constitution of 1869.
1t is not yet forgotten by our readers that the
unionists and the progressistas, by acting
together, nude Amadeus of Savoy King of
Spain. These two parties, mora than all
others, represent the intellec. and the re-
spectabi'ity of Spain. Their united strength
