When the Queen-Regent OF Spain de-
livered the speech from the throne in May last
sbe announced to the assembled Cortes that the
Instruction In Cuba was then decreasing.
Nearly n half year has passed since this state
ment was made. and the strength OF the insur-
rection has greatly increased. The Queen-Re-
gent also announced at the same time that tho
insurgent forces were In o state of demoraliza-
ton; but since then these forces have mani
tested their efficiency by defeating the Spanish
army In almost every combat. There were
other allegations in the Queen-ReEents speech
which time has demolished.
1t would be wrong to hold the Queen-ReGent
responsible for the errors in the speech from the
throne. 1t Is possible that che may never have
been very well informed about the war in Cuba,
and that she may even have placed confidence
in WEYLER's fatuous dispatches from Havana.
Besides, the speech was doubtless composed for
her service by Premier CASovAs, with tho aid
OF the other Ministers. who must have known
that It was full OF errors about the Cuban war.
Had It been within her power TO get at the truth
in the case. she would surely have revised the
speech by striking out nearly all Its paragraphs.
She is o woman of truthfulnoss and intelli-
eonce; and she has striven TO make her only son,
the young King. walk in the straight path.

Tho Triumph of Popnlism.

In one OF the latest manifestoes issued by
the Hon. MARION BUTLER, Chairman OF the
Populist National Committee, there are
some calm assertions of fact which, al
though absolutely indisputable, must be
unpalatable reading to those men who pro-
pose to vote for the Popocratic ticket on the
ground of the regularity OF the Chicago
Convention as a National Democratic Con-
~vention. Mr.. BUTLER is congratulatinR the
Populists upon their success In forcing
their opinions upon the party whose candi-
dates are BRYAN and SEwALL. Here are q
few Of his remarks:
ain four years they 1.-THE Popullstsl have taken pos
session OF the Democratic party. and on Nov. 0 they
will take possession OF the nation"
1--WE have not become Democrats, but tho Demo
Gratis havo, in tho broad sense OF tho word, become
Populists."
W are educating Democracy from the inside"
The Chicago platform is irrofragable proof
that Mr.. BUTLER is right. 1t is a Populist
platform. The candidate nominated upon
1t has said hat he was not a Democrat, and
has been vouched for again and again by
other Populists as n Populist in good and
regular standing. The Populist National
Convention endorsed BRYAN because he was
a Populist on q Populist platform. The
Populists have every reason to exult. They
have made the Democrats, in Mr.. BUTLER's
phrase, "bccome Populists."
Every genuine Democrat, every Demo
crat who believes in Democratic principles
and not in Populism, was buncocd at Chi
cago. Even the weakened brethren who
are trying to bring themselves to vote for
the Populist candidate, must feel very much
ashamed as the Chairman Of the Populist
National Committee rubs in the fact that
they are the subjects of Populist masters
and voting for a Populist candidate IN q
Populist platform.
Even the slave of regularity must kick q
little at being a Popullst cat's-paw.

1t took q longer time to break up the
Roman empire OF old than 1t has taken to break
up the Spanish empire OF a later age. For the
disruption Of Rome centuries were required;
the prostration OF Spain has been accomplished
within our own century. Vaster than the en-
pire OF the CEsARs was that of CHARLES OF
Spain. The conquests of Spain. as OF Rome. ex-
tended from Europe to Asia and Africa: but a
world unknown TO Rome fell under tho power

upon Spain. AZ was that brought upon Rome.
Corrupt and despotic WAS the rule OF Rome in

Spain's rule in her possessions.
The history of the decline and fall of the

ferior to that OF the decline and fall Of the
Roman empire.
