Kanakas have. within short period, been
rescued from barbarian by missionaries, ira
ders and others from the United States. In
fact, the government while nominally native,
was really foreign, and made up principally of
American citizens. We have fostered, pro-
tected and done much every way for those
islands, and the natives-yes, were absurd
enough to recognize and support sort of
breechless royalty. q miserable pinchbeck imi-
tation Of monarchy; and now ellis Majesty

in refusing to cede small island the United
States wanted and needed for naval purposes
What farce What pretence and ingratitude
on the part Of these Kanakas The time is
not distant when these conceited and migrate
full neighbors will be made to learn to respect
more the forbearance and power of the United
States.

an independent American nation, and have
borne long the breaches of good neighbor-
hood and friendly obligations, as well as the
violation of treaties ON her part and yet she

Mexico we are informed that the majority of
the new Congress will be opposed to all con-
cossions to citizens of the United States, and
this is Congress in harmony with the Lerdo
administration. This is the sort of gratitude
we get from our Spanish-American neighbors.

SUNDAY DIsGRACEs IN THE CTY.-A report

proceedings at the late Sunday Spiritualistic
conference. Spiritualism has proved itself not
only failure, but humbug and nuisance.

jurisdiction OF the police. 1t is disgrace to
the name Of civilization to permit such exc
cradle scenes to be enacted in this city on
sunday. The last meeting of these fanatics If

French Policy Towards the Carlist
Bel!igerents In Spain.

helA1Serents IN SpaIns
A telegram from Don Carlos headquarters in
the field, special to the HERALD, which appears
in our columns to-day, conveys the important
and quite interesting intelligence that the
government of the French Republic is prepar-
ing for complete recognition of the Spanish
Carlists as belligerents in Spain. The report
states that the initiatory step towards a
decision to this effect has been already
taken by President MacMahon. Orders
have been issued to the French
customs officers permitting the transit
of arms and munitions Of war between
the Custom House lines of the two countries
in the south Of France A French decree of
the year 1906, which prohibited the traffic, Is
thus rescinded, and the officials of the Re-
public serving on the dividing border line
have been duly notified of the fact by circular
from Paris. This action of President Mac
Mahon will serve to relieve the anxiety Of the
Bourbonst commissariat officers both in the
field and in foreign countries, particularly in
England. Under its operation they can dis
pense with the use Of steamships, and con-
sequently forego the heavy charges of
perilous means Of transportation, as well as
the risk Of capture by the Spanish navy. Don
Carlos troops, which now muster twenty-six
thousand men, will receive fresh inspiration
whom they are informed of such substantial
exhibition Of French fraternity. The act
of President. MacMahon, although not an
act of full belligerent recognition to the
Carlists, is very significant wink
in favor Of monarchical restoration in
Spain. The doughty Don who claims the
throne Of Ferdinand and Isabella will be
placed On his mettle in q still more animated
manner, and it may be that he will claim that
in his expression of hostility to his dynasty
NJ. Theirs did not represent the sentiment of
the French people, but merely gave vent to
his own i'll feeling. Madrid has already expe-
rienced the influence of the French decree.
The Ministry of the Spanish Republic en-
deavors to combat its consequences by antici-
patory denunciation of the influences which,
as it alleges, have produced it; but despite
this the great fact remains. The renewed
muster Of the foreign fleets on the coast of
Spain goes to show that it is expected to
produce immediate fruits, SO that, perhaps,
the great national imbroglio of that country
has reached a crucial point for issue. It is not
difficult to see the truth of the Spanish gov
ernments allegation, that this action of
MacMahon is intended to give an impetus to
the cause of the Bourbon Chambord in
France. A Bourbon king on both sides Of
the Pyrenees is doubtless the programme
