sPAIN.s NEW KING.

Alfonso the Twelfth, son OF the ex-Q Queen
Isabella, who has been proclaimed King Of
Spain, was born on the 2Sth Of November
in the year 1857. He has consequently
passed the seventeenth year Of his age. BE
was baptised AlphOnse Francois d'Assisse
Ferdinand Pie Jean Marie della Conception
GregOire. His Holiness the Pope was one
of the sponsors (by proxy, and honOred
Isabella and her family by permitting the
infant to have his own name, Jean Marie.
The young Prince has been educated in
strict accordance with the discipline Of the
Catholic Church. He is robust in person,
Of active habits and has enjoyed a good
training under military instructors, French
and English. The Prince Of the ASturias
is younger than the Prime Imperial Of
France by a year and eight months; but il
has been already intimzted BY English ju-
veniles in the WOolwich Academy, who
have known both Of the young men, that if
the crowns Of France and Spain were set up
as the prizes of a fsticuif contest between
the two, the youthful Spaniard would come
of the victor in the '.roped arena" and the
English boys are keen judges Of pluck and
muscle. The two Princes are, however,
very excellent friends.

AUNION OF UNIONS.

The Caucasian race develops no
phenomenon of more interest than the
constantly charging trade unions In
England and on the Continent. Both
capitalists and governments have ap-
parently done their best to countcrast
the combined effort Of the working
classes to be less dependent on con-
centrated wealth for the means Of their
daily subsistence; but productive labor
gains strength from year to year, and
IS accumulating the wisdom Of expert
ence for future operations. There are
horticultural and agricultural societies
which have each over 100000 capt.
tai turning over in trade. One of the
these associations reports to a Parlia-
ment Commission a business Of Co.
439,47I per annum, nearly fifty mill
lions Of dollars.
The Manchester Wholesale Society
commenced the business Of supplying
retail trade union stores with goods at
a small advance on cost, having a cash
capital of 100000, In eight years its
business amounted to twenty million
dollars IN gold, and It's losses to only
$1,000, which was stolen in small sums.
In treating of the working classes,
the Westminster ReUis10 says: "a few
figures may help Us to realize the large
sum annually paid in this country for
merely handling goods over the coUn-
ter, or for obtaining a vicious credit
for the payment of such goods. The
census of 1871 shows that the number
of families in England and Wales was
5,O49,Ol5, and taking the annual ex-
penditure of each family for articles
weighed or measured and transfer
red by unskilIed labor at twenty
pounds each, We have one
hundred million pounds thus laid out,
the cost in profit, after paying expenses
Of 20 per cent, involves a tax on con-
sumers of 100000 pounds" This
yearly tax of one hundred million dol
lars for the services Of unskilled labor
is attracting a great deal Of attention.
Il adds nothing to the value Of any ar
ticle whatever, yet does much to con
tinue and extend credit system which
taxes honest people a profit to cover
the losses sustained from dishonest
customers. Society now gives an
enormous bounty on dishonesty, as
though nothing paid SO well as jails
and criminal courts.
Labor must be wisely directed before
it can effect what the cid Romans said
it is able to do-"coDquer all things"
Give the masses a little more wisdom,
and the governments Of the world Will
soon do their bidding. In Europe, they
are now learning to combine their nu-
mericaI strength by thousands and mil
lions, and capital is falling into their
hands IN large sums much faster than
is generally believed.

RAILWAYS RUNNING NORTH AND

SOUTH.
Gen. Stuart's policy Of developing
the natural resources Of the Southern
Atlantic and Gulf States by means Of
close railway communication with the
people Of the East and Northwest, is
not only sound in principle, but en-
tirely practicable. Our Southern eli
mate and soil are destined by nature to
support a dense population simply be-
cause a given amount of human effort
viii command more Of the comforts Of
civilized life here than in any colder
region. This is at once an industrial,
social and political advantage. Cotton,
rice and sugar are typicalof a thousand
collateral benefits, not to be found =
any country further North. The whole
nation wants to enjoy these benefits,
and the great question OF to-day is:
How is it to get themP Not, certainly,
by indulging a spirit Of persecution
through the Federal Executive, or
Congress, or a sectional partisanship.
A very different course must be pur-
sued before Northern capital, invested
in Southern lands, railways, banks,
mines or manufactures, viii reap any
other return than serious loss. The
political war on the South, waged by the
President and his Attorney General,
must cease before any enterprise
in the planting States can prosper
Now the whole power of the. General
Government treats the South as an
enemy, to be weakened and despoiled.
Her people are almost as poor to-day
as they were when Lee surrendered
nearly ten years ago; and all me, Of
sense know that endless political re-
construction, building up one section
and tearing down another, has demon
allied both whites and blacks and
driven active capital away. 1t is high
time to inaugurate a less belligerent,
more commercial, and fraternal system
between sister States.
Farmers, manufacturers and business
men want greater facilities to reach
Southern seaports with the fruits of
their industry, and exchange them for
the fruits of foreign labor. To draw
wealth from Southern soil we must
have markets for its great staples,
such as only available railroads can
supply. indefinite millions have been
sunk In comparatively valueless rail-
ways. The panic taught capitalists a
bitter lesson, and the day of reckless
speculation IN the construction Of lines
that could not, under any circum-
stances, have paid, is over. Let US
hope that the South viii reap some
substantial advantage from the re-
action.

ate. We question whether Grant and
his man Friday-beg pardon, his man
Fish-Rin be in such haste to recognize
Alfonso XII, though he is enthroned
By the self-same men who played" re-
public. Jouvellar, the Minister Of War
in the new Royal Cabinet, is
the same brutal Captain General of
Cuba under whom the Santiago
slaughter was perpetrated. The
change Of mere name in the Madrid
regime is likely to place the whole Vir-
ginius affair in q new light before the
statesmen IN Washington who bungle
our foreign and domestic affairs. We
are told that the President has alread y
determined to abandon the passive pol
icy, inaugurated by Secretary Fish,
whose sOn-in,law, Sydney Webster,
was the paid attorney of the Spanish
Republic. Possibly Fish's son-in-1aw
loses his lucrative position with the
coup d'etat. Decisive action, in regard
to Cuba, which the Presidents mes
sage limited at, may be closer at hand
than most people imagine. The
projected visit of Phil Sheridan
to that island, so soon as he throttles
Louisiana, dovetails into the programme.
Washington swarms with agents
Of the Cuban Republic. The Wash
ngton correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune says things have gone so far
that dispatch IN CIPHER has been
sent to CASTELAR,, through channels
which make it certain that it viii
reach him, suggesting to him, on be-
half Of the representatives in the
United States of the Cuban Republic,
that 1t would be nObler career for
him to Become the Governor Of Cuba,
as a Republican State, than to remain
a vassal of Isabella's son.
1t viii be remembered that Senior
CASTELAR, was quite recently President
Of the Madrid Republic; and, the fact
that he has resigned the Presidency of
the Spanish Commission TO the Cen
tennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, the
CHARACTERISTIC of Public instruction,
and his University Professorship, so
soon after the accession Of Alfonso,
would certainly seem to indicate that
he does not sympathize with the new
regime.

WASHINGTON correspondents begin
to intimate that the Senate Finance
bill may be rushed through the House,
on the grounds of party exigency.
Much opposition is manifested by East
ern Republicans, while those of the
West seem unanimous for it, one of
their reasons being, cuHously enough,
that it viii result in the retirement of
a large amount of national bank cir
culation. A single Wisconsin Repre-
sentative has received applica-
tons from banks aggregating
half a million circulation to
reduce it to the lowest legal minimum
that viii allow them the continued
privilege Of banking. This tendency
is said to be general in the West, the
cause assigned being that the banks
are unwilling to lose the present pre-
MUM on their bonds, which would of
course melt into thin air as soon as
greenbaeks were made equivalent to
gold.

MANY men dread specie resumption
On account Of the great shrinkage IN
values which they anticipate. But the
shrinkage already caused by a paper
panic, AID the resulting depression, Is
astonishing. Take, for instance, thede-
crease Of personal proPertyin New York
City alone. BY the census Of 1870, its
personally amounted to S2,749,343 ,583;
IN 1874 it was 50, $50, 367, ala loss of
SlOO,0OO,O0O, instead of the natural
increase that should accrue in four
years. During this period there WIS
invested IN railroads alone, in this coun-
try, 81, 1895, 3S9, Of which at least
$50, 100000 is held IN New York
That city is, perhaps, more affected by
the shrinkage Of railroad values than
al other cities IN the country COM
bined, the bonds Of non-paying rail-
roads being held there more largely.
