tbusiasm at dinner given in Washing

Decrepit spnin.

Spain, apparently. Is in the throes OF
hopeless discomfort. II is old, haggard.
worn out. Poverty stalks rampant from
one end OF the nation TO the other; want
cries abroad in the land. There is no
love for the royal house; there is no
pride in the feats Of Spanish arms. The
country seems well past the ultimate
hour Of its probable regeneration.
No wonder. in all these melancholy
circumstances. the people bitterly resent
a war abroad. The crushed and hungry
peasantry care naught for Spanish am
bition in Morocco. They paid and paid
for years for Spanish disagreement in
Cuba and the Philippines: and nothing
save humiliation. sorrow. and defeat
came Of it in the end. Send their sons
TO the front now. and TO die-for what?
Better. in Spanish philosophy Of this
day and time. riots and revolution at
home.
The government may be. theoretically.
ever so right in meeting the crisis now
upon the fatherland. OF course. But
when there is nothing but bitterness in
the subjects hearts. when patriotism. Of
the kind the government invokes. is
dead past all resurrection, what shall
it profit the powers that be in Spain?
The people are worse than sunen; they
are openly and aggressively against the
government The very throne itself
totters. and may fall at any moment.
Poor old Spain. 1t is more TO be pitied
than scorned, perhaps. Once it was the
worlds mightiest nation; once It held
the destinies Of all the earth in the hol-
low Of its hand. It has given to history
many Of its greatest men-scholars. ex-
plorers. statesmen. students, philosophers.
and authors Now it is an impotent.
unmanageable thing; a nation without
honor and without repute.

abundance Of sympathy for young King

Of them would be overjoyed to see him
lead his nation out of the gloom Of de-
spair now apparently surrounding It.

pect it.
