order to appreciate just what this means for
Spain. it is necessary to explain that Christina,
in spite of her Austrian birth and education,
and Notwithstanding the Hapsburg blood in her
veins is a Liberal in politics. and imbued with
profound respect for the constitutional rights
of the people. If any reproach can be addressed
to her in connection with her tenure of power
since the death of her husband, more than six
teen years ago. it is that she has too COM
pletely subordnated herself to the national
legislature. without sufficiently taking into
count the fact that owing to political corrup-
tion, administrative terrorism, clerical influence
and defective electoral methods. the pariia-
mentary majority in Spain, as in so many other
Continental countries OF Europe, does not al
ways represent either the views of the people
their best interests. There have been times
when it would have been better for Spain,
pecially before the outbreak Of the war with
this country. if the Queen Regent had gone
beyond her limitations q constitutional
ereign, and had ruled for a time independently
of the Cortes, but for the good of the people.
And thus it happens that, While she has sue
ceeded in preserving the throne for her boy
until his majority task that looked upon
in the Light of fororn hope at the time OF his
brth-yet she has failed to give satisfaction TO
dom. The Liberals dissatisfied because she
did not crush all opposition to those many
forms which have been promised since her
husbands death, and the existence of which

served to keep until now the republican element
from active warfare upon the monarchy The
Conservatives are angry with her for mani
Testing preference for Liberal statesmen and
Liberal ideas. The clergy are opposed to her
for allowing the Inauguration OF measures des-
tined to subject industries and commercial en-
terprises managed and owned by religious or
ders to the same fiscal obligations as those in
secular hands. In one word she has satisfied
nobody and great is her unpopularity that
realizing ii and fearing lest 1t should handicap
her boy. she is making the. 10 her, particularly
cruel sacrifice of taking up her residence under
a different roof lest there should be any sus-
picion in the minds of the people that she is
influencing his policy thereby rendering it dis
tasteful TO them.
After next May a radical change will take
place at Madrid. The Conservatives have re-
peatedly within the last eighteen months been
pressed to take office, but have invariably de-
clined to do so until the regency of the Liberal

1t may safely be assumed that Prince Charles
and Weyler will. the conclusion of the re-
genoy. become all powerful in Spain With
regard TO Prince Charles. it IS known that he
is a foe TO Liberalism and that his ideas are
conservative. not TO say reactionary. As for
Weyler he does not conceal his disgust and
contempt for parliamentarism, which he re-
CARDS as the curse OF Spain. and as responsible
for the loss OF her colonies. Indeed he has pub.
licly proclaimed that 1t may become necessary
TO establish dictatorship. and has made It
known that he will not hesitate to establish
himself in that capacity If it becomes neces-
sary.
That some changes OF a drastic character are
necessary in Spain it cannot be denied. Moth
Ing has been accomplished in the way of ad-
ministrative fiscal and naval and military re-
form since the war. Much has TO be done in
that direction. and without any further delay
