The recent resignation OF Lord

wears has been the real ruler OF
Egypt, has caused much to be writ

his government to look after Its inter

were not going smoothly in the khe-
dives county, and a strong hand
was needed to set things Alright. lie
proved to be admirably adapted for
the work, and began series of i'm
provements and reforms that quickly
brought order out of chaos and which
has been followed by wonderful pros
perity for the country. Intelligent
agriculture has been encouraged,
taxes reduced, and wise and firm
system of laws introduced. Lord
Cromer must be considered one o
the foremost public administrators of
his day. The man who has the ca
pacity OF raising the standard OF
nation and the ability to encourage
an etletc people to become enter
prising and progressive deserves the
most unstinted praise.

At the close OF the Spanish Amer
lean war it seemed that the kingdom
of Spain had reached the last ditch
of national calamities. Its armies
were defeated, its fleet destroyed, its
colonies lost, and its prestige gone.
Instead of misfortunes, these results
of the war turned out advantages.
The loss of the colonies proved the
best thing that could happen to the
kingdom. The East and West India
dependencies had become drag on
the nation owing to mal-adminlstra-
tions, whicn fomented continual in
surrection. From the time the war
really closed to the present, things
have been looking better Tor the
Spaniards. The popular king made
a popular marriage, and now the
nation is rejoicing over the birth OF a
male heir to the throne. The arts oil
peace are being cultivated and many
improvements are being introduced
into the country. The government
is being conducted on a broader and
wiser plane than in years gone by,
and altogether the outlook is more
than good for the happiness and con-
tentment of the Spanish people.
