Another Throne u.D.o~-The
Rev Republic of Spain.


Within the past seven days, an
extraordinary change has occure,
in the ancient monarchy of SPAR
King Amadeus Of his own FREE will
ahdicated he throne on the l1th OF
February. and on the same day the
Coites adopted q Republican form
of gov eminent by vote of 259 to
32.
Thus by the manhood and honor
of the king, a revelation has taken
place without the loss of single lif. !;
"a resolution which 10 other land
has cost untold amounts Of blood and
treasure. The fact that the legisia
tive branch of the Spanish Govern
ment is SO nearly unanimous 10 favor
Of Republic, shows how rapidly
and surely the leaven and example
ofour democratic Observation-Disclosures
ing away the ancient barriers of des.
potism and aristocracy.
But though no blood has been
spilled thus far, there is great reason
o fear an outbre ak on the part of
he monarohists. Dispatches indi
cate that a civil war is inevi able.
The adherents of Queen Isabella and
family, the Carlist organization, the
Nobility whose political status mus,
iepond or the upholding of mon-
trchy, and perhaps also the priest
hood, may combine in a desperate
ff'rt TO stay the advance of Repub-
lican ideas.
The brief reign of Amadeus ha-
been. like that of Maximiian in Mex
leo, full of storms and troubles.
Like him also, he seems TO have
been very worthy of the lofty posi-
ton, devoted to The purpose Of gov :
erning his people with a Just and
liberal hand and yet the Republi-
can idea has made their thrones TOO
insecure to rest upon.
Spain is financially in critical
condition, and this may be our op.
por,unity for acquiring peaceful pos.
session Of Cuba The news from
Europe acquires especial interest,
when the interests Of Republicanism
he fate OF Cuba and the prospect OF
civil war are 80 involved IN uncer
tainty.
