King Alfonso and his affianced, the Arch
Duchess Marie, being related by a degree of
~consanguinity, within Which intermarriage is
forbidden by the Church, the Spanish Gov
eminent has applied to the Pope for a dis
pensation, the only means of surmounting
the obstacle. In such cases the pity is that
physiological laws are no respecters of Papal
edicts any more than of other human ordi-
nances. Among the ~reignlng families of the
German kingdoms and principalities where
the royal salutation sour well beloved cousin"
expresses almost the literal truth, the effect
of long continued intermarriage of blood rel
atives is observable in a deterioration OF. the
physical type below that of the burgers of
the middle classes. The divinity that doth
hedge about a king fails to save him from the
penalty paid by those WHO violate the laws of
our common being. .

The Tribune, IN pretenee Of aiming at
Mormon shoulders overreaches and strikes
its Democratic foes beyond. The terrible
intentions with which the Democrats are
credited with regard to Mormonism come
with especial grace from the Republican sheet
when we remember the little fact that not SO
much as a hint of a movement against the
Mormons was to be heard during the years
when the radicals had a two-thirds majority
in each house. 1t was only when they saw
the Democrats growing stronger and stronger
and at last out voting them in each branch Of
Congress, that the Republicans turned their
attention to the reforms whose neglect had
brought down upon them the crushing con-
domination first Pronounced in the elections
of IA. The election Of a Democratic Presi-
dent next YER, among other longed for
changes. will bring a vigorous, earnest policy
in dealing with the Mormon problem. No
more masquerading. No more boute letters
directed to foreign governments exciting their
ridicule through our demands for assistance
against an evil we do not seriously attempt to
crush. u-rr ,

that Germany will re-intrOduce the bi-metal-
lie standard. Latest adyices state that the
silver thalers have Deen put into circulation
again, and lurtlier coinage is expected. The
United States Department of State is endeav-
oring to secure the cooperation of other
nations in a further consideration of the sub
ect. VIZ may expect to see a bi-metallic
Congress assembled at no very remote day.

n,be publishers of the NEW ORLEANS
i TIMES wish especially at this time chat
every citizen of the State should be subserib
| er or reader of the TINES. Questions OF the
greatest Importance to Louisiana are pending
waiting solution. A convention OF her dele
gates are now in session drafting an organic
law for adoption to replace the present cOnsti-
tuition, and which it is hoped will radically re-
form those fearful abuses, wasteiul extrava-
gancies and gross iniustices which have been
nurtured by it and have grown up under it
The subject of restrictive quarantine as to it's
efficacy in preventing the introduction of the
| scourge of yellow fever and its acknowledged
blightlng effects upon the business and pros
perity of the city of New Orleans and the
State is now engfossing to u large extent pub
lie attention. Other vital questions such as
labor, immigration, railroad communications
with our neighborins State OF Texas, removal
of the State capital, etc, demand constant con-
sideration and discussion. 80
The publishers of the TIMES refer with pride
to the position taken by the TINES on all Of
these questions Their inspiring motive has
been the good of the State and her people, for
upon her prosperity development and growth
depend their compensation and reward. From
no other source can they expect to subserve
these ends.
The thorough independence of the TINES, its
strength, courage and consistency in the dis
cussion of all questions, its indefatigable and
persistent Ebors to restore the wODted pros
perity of the South, have made it recognized
throughout the country as the leading South
ern journal and made it quoted everywhere as
the representative OF the best Southern
thought and opinion
The publishers wish that copy may be
placed in the hands of every citizen OF this
State, that he may Judge by perusal of it's
merits of its consistency, Of its motive.
As a newspaper giving ALL the NEWS OF the
day; as a commercial paper, showing all the
movements of business and commerce, as an
organ of the people, representing and con
serving their best and highest interests, they
claim the Times to be without a rival IN the
South.
