THE SPANISH POLICY.

1t would not be easy TO make a more unfavor-
able presentation Of the Spanish cause in Cuba
than was made in the speech of the Queen Re-
gent before the COrtes CONSTITUENCIES Through
all that elaborate and rhetorical document run
notes Of conscious guilt and Of despair. There
Is Il practical confession that Cuba has been
misgovcrned. and that the Cubans have had
much provocation for their revolt. There Is an
avowal OF determination to grant liberal re-
forms TO the island. But that cannot be done
says Her Majesty, until the instruction Is
quelled and peace restored; and there is not the
slightest indication of the latter being accom-
pished The case Is like that Of the Arkansas
SETTLER whose cabln-roOf leaked When it raincd
he could not mend it. and when 1t did not rain
there no need OF mending It,
The only prospect offered by the Spanish Gov
eminent is. then, 10 go on with the war TO the
bitter end What that end must be is scarcely
doubtful We need not take American tcsti
mony on the subject, since that Is suspected Of
anti-Spanlsh Partially THE London Times Is
not thus to be suspected. Yet it says, frankly
that circumstances seem TO be settling the mat
ter adversely to Spain That Is the opinion Of
nearly all well-informcd and impartial observers
The Spanish armies making no Roadway
against the rebels They scarcely holding
their own Their loss Of life, through wounds
and disease, Is terrible The expense to the
Spanish treasury Is enormous. and cannot much
longer he borne. Complete prostration and ex-
haustion are inevitable and seem sure to come
to Spain sooner than TO the Cubans.

In its nature as essentially apart from It's con-
nections rs It ever was This difficulty cannot
really be overcome so long as the Bridge Is what
it Is The equipment Of elevated cars with grips
to convert them from steam TO cable trains
is an awkward device. which is likely to prove
unsatisfactory in itself and involve the present
trains in difficulty; for no additional tracks are
possible. and the whole Bridge traffic will be
conditioned by the absolute success Of expert
ments in transportation for which the structure
is not adequately fitted
1t Is possible that if this problem had been
presented before the great expense Of the yet
unfinished remOdelling Of the terminal stations
was undertaken a measurably satisfactory ar
rangement might have been made. If the roads
benefited will now assume the expense entalled
by ovcrhaulng the stations so as to make the
running Of their trains really feasible, the
scheme will he worthy Of favorable consldefa-
ton But ii is greatly to be feared that any plan
devised by the railroads will be made with
view to their own exclusive benefit, without more
than formal regard for the convenience Of local
passengers 1t Is seriously to be questioned If
the two interests can be adequately cared for
without extensive alterations. The object to be
gained is most worthy. The difficulties are

THROUGH TRAINS ON THE BRIDGE.

The proposition just presented TO the Brook
lyn Bridge Trustees. for running the trains OF
the two Brooklyn elevated railroads TO the New
York end of the Bridge Is much less objection
able than the one which 1t was sought to In
corporate into law at the last session OF the
Legislature. 1t does not contemplate the com
plete surrender Of the structure to the uses of
the corporations, but provides for the running
of trains for simple Bridge traffic in the present
fashion with the reservation Of one set Of plat
forms for the through trains. Such through
service is in itself highly desirable. 1t could not
fail to benefit thousands Of Brooklyn people to
be able to get from their homes TO New-YOrk
without change OF cars. Not only would they
save carfares. but what Is much more important
they would save their strength; for the changes
Of cars, and climbing Of stairs and hurrying in
crowds constitute one OF the most wearing
trials of metropolitan existence But II this
boon Is to be given to jewellers on the line OF the
elevated roads, 1t should also come to the patrons
Of the trolley-cars The street railways reach
many sections Of the city not touched by the
elevated roads, and they are as much entitled
to deliver their passengers In Park Row as are
their competitors. At the came time the desire
Of people who come down to the Bridge on the
Third-ave line to get to Brooklyn without the
annoyance Of changing cars should receive at
tention These varying claims all equally rea-
sonable, seriously complicate the problem OF
through transportation. II they do not make it
insoluble.
ANY arrangement OF this kind, much as 1t
might be desired, must be at best makeshift
and patchwork The Bridge was not built for
any such purpose When 1t was planned nobody
had any conception Of the vast demands that
were to be made upon 1t. The extensions since
have not been such as to facilitate any connec-
ton with the elevated lines. On the contrary.
terminal space has been acquired Of such form,
that not even loops could be introduced to facili-
tate the Bridges own traffic, and with all the
money snent for improvements the structure y

the only feasible terms would involve grant
ing of independence. If So it would be better
for Spain to grant independence now, voiun-
tarily, than to be forced to grant 1t year or hVe
years hence, when she is poorer than now by
tens Of thousands Of lives and tens OF millions
Of dollars. Whether or not the grievances OF the
Cubans justify revolt, and whether or not the
Cubans are fitted for self-gOyernment, are In
terestlng questions, Of a somewhat academic
type, upon which there may be two opinions.
The practical question is whether Spain Is able
to subdue the rebellion. The Spanish Govern
ment does not venture to answer that question
in the affirmative. If it must be answered In the
negative, the sooner Spain gives up an impos-
sible undertaking the better it will be for all
concerned

The first returns from the operation OF the
Ranes Excise law are, financially, not encour-
aging 1t will be remembered that the state
tax rate was made up on the estimate that the
receipts from that source would be S3,ooO,oOo'
although it was believed by many that this eSti-
mate was much too high. As the State is 10
receive oncthird Of the liquor tax this would
mean that the saoonkeepers Of the State would
pay S9000OO0 a year for the privilege OF carry
ing on their business. Naturally the bulk or
the licenses are taken out soon after the time
when the law went into effect. and the receipts
during the early days of the new regime should
be immense Full returns for the first ten days
have not been received, but so far as they have
come in and from the estimates made in other
cases. the probabilities are mcagre that the

ever hold that the reservoir is needless. and that
the water supply of the lower part Of New-York
