hood where the Government has an.
power of self-assertion is in ant
about Madrid The fact that ''tht
army" is a machine wbici, has been
successfully, under the authority oil
Queen Isabella. the semi-regency
and the Amadean monarchy is
enough TO illustrate its worthless
ness and decentralization. CASTELAR,,
who is a magnificent fellow and q
splendid orator. is entirely unfit for
the management of the great affairs
of an Empire and if he and his as
sociates were. as they are not, prac-
teal men. the prospect conld hardly
be any better. The city of Malaga
is a fair sample OF the general condi-
ton of things throughout the I" Re
public" Read this dispatch from
Madrid
Ten thousand armc;i citizens maintain
order in the city of Malaga, bIt refuse
to admit the regular troops or Govern
ment custom officers, nor will they allow
vessels conveying soldiers to other points
to remain in port Thy provide for
their expense, hv taxing the we,!thy re.
idents. Tue cis,oin; officials say snT:55-
Gin, IS carried on TO large extent.
The citizens ARE divided into two parties
Moderate and Ultra Fedcra!ists. The
AZ NJ H..
Uitr.s are gaining strength
This would be lud;crous and
lauy;,a!;le if it were not SO distress
ins'y sad. The town is evidently In
the hands of the mob, ut whose mer-
cy the richer classes are. This Is
"chaos come again" Bad as it Is,
we doubt if it is any worse than the
common average of affairs under any
Spanish rule. The Latin races y
were made to be priest ridden OPP
pressed degraded and ruled, by
somebody, with a rod of iron. A
Republic amongst such people Is
worse than q farce-it is mockery !;
and when our Government goes
through the form of recognizing any
such a Republic it simply errs on
the side of a pleasant and popular
sentimentality. France Is little
better because Paris ia bigger and
richer than Madrid. But when that
bright eyed octogrnarian. the ,.aliic
Brougham, Theirs, dies-as he W II
before many months-then chaos
will also come again to France. We
don't pretend to prescribe what
ought to be done to remedy these
evils in the Governments of the
Latin States we are merely stating
facts and very stubborn facts they
are. All tn time our proposition
of the other day is being proven
at Madrid. We said that however
much the paniards might fight and
revolutionize amongst themselves,
there Was one thing they we're all
agreed upon-that is, that Cnba
must not be allowed to gain her in
dependence. They know. the Span
iar,ls do, instinctively, that Cuba is
the goose which lays them all, or
nearly all their golden eggs. Cuba
is to Spain what the Comstock ledge
is to Western Nevada-its support
and indispensable reliance. Right
in the midst of these defiant dGings
at Malaga, the deviltries at Barcelona
and powerlessness of the Govern
ment all along the French border, a
Dispatch is sent from Madrid. by ca
bic. complacently informing the
world that reinforcements for the
troops in Cnba sal ed from Cadiz
yesterday" Not man goes to NAL
aga where chaos, aforesaid. holds
high carnival not a soldier more is
sent ont upon the border to stop the
deviltries of French Carlists and
Barcelona goes to the devil but the
hopeless waste of treasure and life
mnst go on in Cuba, hit or miss.
Spain is a case for guardianship ;;
and there should be convention OF
the healthy nations to decide what
should be done in mitigation of her
situation.
