unless the Bourbon influence has been power
full enough to get him pardoned. 1t is not an
eligible family to marry into, and perhaps the
King is doing the royal bachelors of Europe u
favor in showing them how they may expect
to be treated if they become his kinsmen.
Unfortunately His Majesty has not been
entirely consistent in his prescription OF MS
family. His sister, the widowed Countess OF
Girgenti, who still wears the weeds OF woe
conferred upon her by the revolver OF her
late lord, has conc down to Madrid, probably
without waiting for permission, and Is SAID TO
be busy there shaping the whisper OF the
throne" No one can help sympathlzng
somewhat with the desOlate and friendless
boy, called by q heartless intrigue into a
place where he is expected to serve as the
tool of the INSCRIPTIONS conspirators VINO
brought him back to SPAIN His parents have
been made impossible companions for him by
their own weaknesses and vices. 1t is almost
against nature TO ask him to shut the door OF
his palace upon his own sister, or to reject
her advice in matters where he must feel his
own youth and incompetence. But there can
be little doubt that if he keeps her with him,
and allows her that influence which her ener-
getic and passionate character will naturally
claim, she will sooner or later cause his ruin.
1t would be far better to let Montpensier
come back, marry his daughter as soon as
possible, and try to exchange the tainted
memories and associations which Isabel Sc
gunda left in Madrid for that atmosphere OF
decency and morality which always distin-
gllished the domestic life Of the Montpenslcrs
at San TclmO.

THE Tribune has devoted itself consist
entity since the war ON the Canal Ring began
to furnishing its readers with facts and figures
which could be sustained in court Of justice
if any of this corrupt Ring should see fit to
question their accuracy. In pursuance Of this
design, and also to expose the fraudulent
execution Of contracts whose fraudulent in
tention we have already laid bare, we shall
print tomorrow complete tabular statement
of all contracts now pending upon canals of
this State, giving the name of the contractor
and the date of the contract, and showing the
disparity which exists between the engineers
estimate of the cost of the work. and in cases
where payments have been made exhibiting
the contrast between the contract price and
the amount so far paid to the contractor.
For the better comprehension of the meanin.
of the facts thus presented, we shall add to
this the report of competent engineers spe
cially employed by THE TRIBUNE to visit a
number of points where work is in progress
under pending contracts. and instructed to
report only their true condition. The first re-
suits of their investigations will not comprise
all the largest or worst of the contracts now
under way. The contracts whose fraudulent
character will be exposed have been chosen
solely with a view to showing that the whole
system is honcycombed with fraud. and that
recent contracts exhibit only the same char
acteristcs that appear in grosser form in
those of long standing. The reports of the
engineers will make very interesting reading,
not only for the men who are doing the
work, but for the taxpayers out of whose
pockets the money comes

Another turn of the Louisiana kaleidoscope
shows Gov. Kellogg and Lieut.. Gov. Antoine
arrayed against each other. The Gov
ernor has promulgated as law that
which the Lieutenant-GovernOr says has
never been passed by the General AS
sembly. Whatever the merits OF this case
may be, the crime charged upon Gov. kellogg
is by no means new in the history of Louisiana
under the usurpation. 1t is notorious that the
present infamous election law. of that State was
not promulgated until months after the date
of its alleged passage, and that then 1t was
not recognized by those who voted on it in
either branch of the Legislature. In that in
stance, however, Kellogg and Antoine were on
the same side, the names of both being signed
to law commonly believed a forgery. Mr.
Antoine is cOlored man and supporter
of Mr.. Pnchback's Senatorial claims, while
Mr. Kellogg and Mr.. Pinchback are separated
by feud which recent occurrences in Wash
ington have embittered. Possibly Mr.. Pinch
back has an unobserved hand in this business,
and the breach in the Administration party in
Louisiana may be still further widenod by the
acknowledgements declaration of indie

The methods by which the Canal Ring de-
frauds the State are further and very clearly
illustrated in the Syracuse letter. printed to-
day on another page. These revelations refer
particularly to actual frauds in the construe-'
ton of canals, as disclosed by examination OF
some of the contract work, and our CORE
spondent has, by avoiding technical terms, and
presenting diagrams of sections of the canal
made the nature of these frauds ineligible at
a glance.
