VOICES OF THE PRESS.

IN. Y. SUM

Upon the shoulders of Maria Chris
tina Queen Regent of Spain, there rests
at this time very great responsibility.
She is called upon to determine ques-
tons of the utmost Importance to the
Spanish monarchy. affecting the do
mestic policy of the government. its
foreign policy. the security of the
Bourbon dynasty. the fortunes of the
heir to the throne, and perhaps. the
public peace. In Spain, the royal au-
thority is a thing of consequence. and
the Queen Regent has frequently mani
tested her ability in the exercise of it.
We have always regarded the Queen
Regent as high minded and conscien-
tious woman, one who reveres the
memory of her deceased husband. and
who is supremacy DESTROYS of securing
the enforcement of her son.
the young King. in whose be-
half she serves Spain. She is
a woman of much intelligence. hav-
ing been thoroughly trained in the
household of her father, the late Karl
Ferdinand of Austria. and having re-
ceived an education by which she was
fitted for any duty that she might be
called upon to perform. She is a
woman of large experience in politics.
and we'll acquainted with public affairs
not only in Spain, but in other coun-
tries. During the eleven years of her
regency she has become familiar with
the arts of government and with the
Spanish method of applying them
She has used her Judgment in the de-
termination of many serious questions
OF State. and has repeatedly manifest
ed measure of independence that was
creditable to her intellect She has
used her influence successfully in the
Cortes upon occasions when public af-
fairs of gravity We're under debate: but
she has always recognized the consti-
tutional limitations upon her power.
She has had Liberal ministers and Con-
sentative ministers, and has made her
mind known in their counsels. She has
had sage adviser in the Emperor of
Austria. and has asked for instruction
from the Pope. Ali through her long
regency, the political activity of Maria
Christina has been made manifest in
the government of Spain.
She is aware of the dangers of the
times. She knows of the perils that lie
in the plots against the throne, in the
intrigues of the Carlist pretender, int
Vaccinations of the Anarchists, in the
devices of the Republicans. in the re-
volt of the Cubans. and in the acri-
monious contentious of Spanish poll
ticians. She doubtless understands the
necessity of SO guarding her ways as
to avoid the misfortunes that have
overcome other rulers of Spain in this
century.
During the critical period that now
exists in Spain, the Queen Regent has
demeaned herself in cautious manner.

deserted their places few days ago.

College Sentiment Found to Be Sound.

The wisdom of placing upon the stu
dent body of our colleges at least a por-
ton of the responsibility for student
behavior has been many times exempli-
fled, but never perhaps more strikingly
shown than in the discovery and pun
ishment of the collegiate ninnies who
resurrected that stale old trick of paint
ing the statue of John Harvard at
Cambridge a few nights since.
The matter of detection and punish
ment was left to the student body,
through it's representatives, and ex-
cellent results were obtained. The
parties were apprehended and they 10
longer belong to Harvard. That is I'M
mistakable proof that the sentiment Of
college men is all right in the main.
They do not as body approve of van
daism The guilty parties were fresh
men and they had not yet got in:o
touch with that college sentiment.
They had heard, as who has NOT, all
about the pranks played in college, and
but little about the sober. serious work
done there. No man who has ever
gone through college and then become
acquainted with some of the prevailing
notions of college life among those who
do not know about it from experience,
can wonder that those freshmen enter
tanned very mistaken ideas of what was
expected of them.
The alumnus need only recall some IF
the emotions of his first weeks at COLI
lege to understand how those silly boys
thought they must do something out of
the ordinary to distinguish themselves
in the eyes of their fellow students.
They had heard about painting John
Harvard's statue in crimson hues and
| thought it a very daring thing 10 do.
They would emulate the deed. They

of the ministry. she strove to compose
the dispute; and it was she, We have
been led to understand. who suggested
the unusual expedient that was adopted
finally. She has held consultations
with the leaders of both parties; she
has sought for the judgment of sundry
personages in whom she has conf
dence; and last week she sent for that
thoughtful old statesman, Marshal
Martinez Campos. in order that she
might ask for his advice. AS after all
this she determined to retain Senior
Canovas at the head of the ministry,
we can but suppose that her embar
rassment was so great as to weaken
her judgment and puzzle her will. In
truth, if her choice lay only between
Canovas and Sagasta, and if she re
garded it as unsafe to offer the premier
ship to a competent statesman outside
of existing parties, it was as well that
she should keep the Conservative leader
in power as to offer his place to his
Liberal competitor. Both of them have
been tried in the past. and neither of
them is more deserving than the other.
CT better fitted than the other, to steer
the ship of state through stormy seas.
