King Alfonso, IL the London Globe Is to be
believed, Is the most unpopular man In
Spain. The Globe finds some difficulty In ex-
planning why this Is SO. The populace, 1t de-
clares, are guilty OF the greatest contradic-
tions In their abuse of their monarch. COM
planning. at one time, that he Is miser and
does not keep up the dignity of the Spanish
throne by dtsbursing suffclency OF funds
like his ancestors, and again, that royalty Is
too expensive foe a. poor country like Spain
The truth Of the matter is that there
are no friendly relations between the people
and the King. The latter is the mere tool OF
a few autoerats, who hold the reins of power
and allow Alfonso to play puppet. Wh;.c Wts:.c
taxes and peculation Increase, salaries are
unpaid, and mismanagement Is everywhere
visible. The recent attempt at the life of the
King is fair example OF the state OF feeling
In Spain, The sentiment In that country ia
now decidedly Republican. The Spaniards
are the nearest neghbors OF France, and thev
cannot but see how that country is prosper

good for France, Is good for Spain also, and
that II a change is made in their government

Is said, has Increased rather than fallen off

COMMERCIAL AGENCIES,

In yesterdays DEMOCRAT there appeared
the account Of a very interesting question
which has just arisen, touching the RESPONSE
biltty OF a commercial agency. The case re-
ferrod to Is that or Schmidt X Iiegler vs.
II. q. Dun 4 Co. Schmidt X Iiegler de-
clare that they are subscribers to tho NOR
camille agency Of II. G. Dun Il CO. Tint IL
to say they pay II regular annual tribute for
the right of availinR themselves of tho In
formation gathered by the said agency the
latter undertaking TO furnish reliable data as
to the credit and condition of all business
firms. In March, 1876 an establishment was
set up In Now Orleans under the firm name
Of Brewer& Wilkerson, and, very shortly af-
sion to apply to the agency of r. G.. Dun 4 Co.
for information as to the concern. the agency
represented Brewer 4 Wilkerson as a firm In
good standing, with assets In real estate ag-
gregating Sl35, 900, and a cash capital of S25,-
600 In addition. 1t was further stated that
Brewer \ Wikerson enjoyed a good credit
and high reputation. On the strength of
these representations, Messrs. Schmidt K
Ziegler sold to Brewer i Wilkerson on the
$2S27 81. 1t is well known that about this
time Brewer 4 Wilkerson absconded, swind-
ling a number OF merchants OF the city, and
that it was subsequently shown that they
were utterly worthless and had been all the
time. Upon these facts Messrs. Schmidt /
Zegler base their suit against the mercantile
agency Of Il. G. Dun 4 Co., alleging that
they were induced to give credit upon the
OF the representations made by Il G
Dun 4 Co.-which representations turned out
to be wholly false and groundless.
The chief interest In this case clusters
about the defense which shall be set up BY
Messrs. r. G. Dun x Co. After the first
shock OF establishment at hearing that they
mean to contest the matter, one
begins to grope for some tangible
conjecture as to the nature of their contest.
Persons who are neither commercial agents
nor attorneys find it difficult to realize that
Il. u. Dun x Co.. after undertaking to furnish
certain Information, and after receiving nav
therefor, can successfully deny their respon-
sibility to those who paid them. To the or
dlnary mind 1t seems that Il. G. Dun 4 Co.
have entered into contract just as binding
10 any otner business agreement, and that
II case they default upon their part Of the
bargain, they can be made to reimburse

RELATIONS OF RAILROADS TO THE
PTTRTI0.

The committee on railroad transportation
OF the New York Board of Trade and Tra1tsx
portation have submitted lengthy report to
that body upon the bills now pending In Con-
gress to regulate commerce by railroad
among the several States. In regard to the
bill introduced by Mr.. Stapp, of Iowa, the
committee agrees with the author relative to
the appointment OF board OF commissions.
but thinks 1t would be better to concentrate
the responsibility in the hands of three, or at
most not more than five persons, who should
De men OF the highest character and capacity
The committee does not, however, think that
the bill In Its present shape Is calculated to
remove the evils attending interstate COM
merce by railroad, 1t not being deemed prac-
ticable or advisable, with the knowledge at
the disposal OF the public at this time to at
tempt to fix rates, although there can be no
doubt OF the power of Congress to do so.
Another defect In the Stapp bill pointed out
by the committee Is the failure to prohibit
Tess than the maximum rates to some
shippers, which IS one of the chief evils OF the
present system, as it places it within the dis
cretlon Of a railroad company to build up the
business Of one citizen at the expense of an
other The bill introduced by Mr. reagan, of
Texas, Is regarded by the comn mnttee as the
most conservative and best considered meas

alton OF interstate commerce. Admitting

opponents, may not be found to work we'll In

The campaign now being conducted In
Mid Lothian, Scotland, for member of Parlia-
ment Is an exciting one. Gladstone Is the
Liberal candidate, and the Conservatives or,
as the Americans would call them, the adj
ministration. is anxious, OF course, to beat
him The canvass so far shows the district
TO be close one, and each party Is going to
work to create or make class OF voters
known by the name of faggot voters This
Is done by throwing up lot of cheap cot
tages, the tenants of which become voters by
occupying them. The Duke Of Buccleugh led
off with the erection of 100 cottages some
weeks ago. The Earl of Roseberry, the leading
Liberal nobleman OF the district, followed suit
by throwing up Ito cottages Of his own near
Edinburgh to house loo workingmen who
will vote the Liberal ticket The work on
these was done IN the most picturesque man
ner, force Of five hundred men working
without interruption. day and night This.
however, is only the beginning Of the canvass.
and this making Of faggot voters will now 90
on with extraordinary zeal until the day of
election. It is mere question Of which side
has the most money and can erect the most
cottages. Its supposed that the Conserya-

Isn't It about time FOR Old Victoria and his

row has been trouuciug him again There
seems to be fatality about Morrow s attacks
upon the willy Apache chief. however just
as he catches tip with him and Is In the act OF
annihilating the entire band, something hap
pens. Some tmo ago Major Morrow pur-
sued Victoria into Mexico, caught up with
him. whipped him, MS usual, and then halted
for reinlorcements. Victoria was heard from
d few days aflerward by another party OF sol
diers, which he attacked, killing ten and dis
uersinp the remainder Thcn Morrow again
took the trail, his rtinforcemcnts having
come up. We next hear OF him and Victoria
badly whipped in u fight lasting several
hours, leaving one dead horse on the field.
Major Morrow will complete his work as
soon as reinforcements reach him, we are In
formed. About three weeks ago he overtakes
the much defeated Victoria again, and In q
fight, In which he loses valuable officer,
once again defeats him. This time Victoria Is
saved because Morrows ammunition fails
The latest brush between the two Is reported
this morning. 1t will be seen that Morrow'S
ill-luck still follows him. lie pursues Vieto-
ria into the mountains, brings him to bay,
and once again defeats him. and then pro-
ceeds to fall back, his rations having given
out. In a few weeks we may reasonably ex-
peet to hear that Victoria has again been met
and exterminated, and that the pursuit will
be resumed soon as ammunition, rations, re-
Inducements, or something else, is received.
