The Light Breaking In.

Srain hiss received within the past
few weeks more staggering intelli-
oence than it has ever known in its
history. Il has been brought face to
face with its own ireficiency. 1t has
found that it is bankrupt among
nations. It has realized that lis
pride cannot rest on its himsy pretext
of honor: that its spirit has lost its
historic substance.
1t is the best thing, probably, that
could have happened for the country
which has sunk in such unparalleled
decadence. For there may be time
for it to begin life on new capital.
and, by industry and patience, build
itself up to better things. 1t will
lose Cuba. It will probably lose the
Philippines. 1t will lose most OF its
possessions, but it may be able to
hold on to Spain, and, holding on,
may ,ise again.
There are many good men in
Spain, but they must know that the
c,isis is near. There will probably
be no war, but whether there is Wal
or not, the collapse of Spain fnan-
cially will come so near to the edge
that nothing but marcy can save it
from toppling over.
The light is breaking where dark
ness has been, and in the end good
may come, although Spain must lose
before it can gain.
