The Suffrage Clause.

The opinions of Senators Don Caferey
and Sam McEnery to the contrary not
withstanding, the constitutional conven-
ton has adopted the fifth section sui
frage clause, and we believe their wis.,
dom in doing 20 will be justified by ex-
perience. There is widespread dispo-
sition to carp at and harshly criticize
each and every proposition advanced in
the convention, but the honorable mem
bsrs of that body very properly are dis
posed to exercise their own judgment
and ignore the critics. The conditions
justify the means, and there is no doubt
the requirements of suffrage impoeed are
within constitutional limitations. Our
Populite friends certainly have no rea'
son for complaint. as section five let's IN

the discussions reported from Madrid,

Spain reached the zenith OF her
power in the sixteenth century. By
the marriage of Ferdinand and lsa~
bella, CASTLE and Aragon were united
in 1870, making Spanish kingdom
OF some Importance. Then Grenada
was snatched from the Moors in
1892, the year in which Columbus
discovered the New World. This dis
covery opened up to the married
monarchs vast possessions. Charles
l, better known in history as Charles
v, ruler of the Holy Roman empire,
succeeded Ferdinand and Isabella,
and under his reign the cOnquests OF
Mexico and Peru took place, making
the Spanish empire many times great
er than was the Roman under the
mighty Caesars. But Charles V alb
Dictated, and was succeeded by hiss
Phillip Ii, and then the decay of the
mighty power he had built up began.
Only the ruins of the great empire
built by Charles V now remain.
Phillip ii established the inquisi-
sition, expelled the Jews and Moors
and practically extinguished agricul-
ture and commerce. Under his reign
the English destroyed the s1nvincible
Armada" and captured Cadiz. Then
thadecay became rapid.
| Under Phillip Nv Spain lost Portu-
gal, the Protestant part of the Meth
erlands, and in q war with France lost
Roussillon. Phillip Nv was succeeded
by Charles ii, who pressed q disas-
trous war with France and decreased
the population of the kingdom to g..
600, 900.
In order to keep his throne Phillip
Nv coded Naples, Sardinia, Milan and
the rest of the Netherlands to Austria,
gave Sicily to Savoy and surrendered
Gibralter and Minorca to England.
In the reign of Charles Nv, successor
to PhillipIV, between 1928 and 1908
Spain waged two wars against En-
! gland, both of which resulted disas
trously to the Spaniards. 1t was II
the reign Of Charles Nv that SPAR
ceded Trinidad to England and gav'
Louisiana up to France, territory
which embraced O large share of thai
part of the United States now lying
west of the Mississippi.

The Spanish Flotilla.

The Spanish torpedo flotilla left
the Canary Islands on March %. 1t
will have to steam 3 1900 miles with q
daily speed of 200 miles. 1t should
reach Porto Rico about April 10.
Each vessel has two torpedo tubes.
The torpedo boat destroyers have
coal capacity of 100 tons, and the
torpedo boats of only Is tons. A
coal vessel accompanies the feet to
furnish fuel.
Torpedo boats are designed solely
for firing torpedoes. They are long
and narrow and rely on their invisi-
bility to get, unperceived, within 800
yards of an enemy, fire torpedo,
and then skurry away.
Torpedo boat destroyers are design
ed solely for destroying torpedo
boats. A destroyer is an enlarged
torpedo boat, but much faster, and
relies rather onspeed than invisibility
to accomplish her purpose. She is
fitted to discharge torpedoes, quite
after the manner of the boat, but she
is also provided with q formidable
battery of small calibre rapid-fire
guns, perhaps eight or ten such pieces,
and with these she will bring the boat
to bay. Rarely will the boat have
more than three or four of these small
guns to resist attack with. The
speed of the boat is from % knots to
% knots; that of the destroyer is 30
knots.-Toledo (Ohio) Blade.
The Spanish fiotilla Of warshipf
were at Cape Verde islands, just of
the coast of Africa, on the 9Th o
April, where they were driven by the
late hurricanes, and the announce
ment is made that they viii remain
there until further orders. That
point is 24OO miles from Porto Rico
and the feet cannot possibly MAKE
the distance in less than IL or Ii
days.-[EDIToR.
