TEE King Of Spain during a recent
visit to Paris, was bissed by the popu-
lace, and received other intimations OF
dissatisfaction which rendered his stay
in the French capital inexpedient s2d
uncomfortable. Much contumely has
been hesped upon the Parisians by the
American press for such unseemlv con-
duct. The Philadelphia TINES, which
has generally got the righ. word to say
about events in 'another fellows" coun-
try, shows that Germany, Austria and
Spain bad formed a compact against the
French Republic. The young Spanish
King was ade the scapegoat of Bis
marck, and the people Of Paris took the
opportunity of showing the gentl chan
cellor. through Alphopzo, that the Re-
public was not to be bull-dozed any
further by Monarchisl or Imperial Al
lance. Mcclure says, happily enough,
''as thorn in the side of Kings, France
