April. Ia, 1878.

The glory and decadence OF Spain
can be told in the story of the reigns
OF the three Philips, H.. III. and ".
OF that name. Philip II. was an able
man in many ways, tho his attempts
to govern the Netherlands were dis
astrous to his country. He brought
spain to the pinnacle of her glory, but
II was hollow pinnacle. the country
was bled white, the defeat of the
Spanish Armada proved that. She
could not uphold her pretentions.
II was said of Philip III. that he
started the endless committee discus
sions and the quantities of details re-
port writing which eventually choked
the administration in it's own red
tape. To such a kingdom Philip III.
was called. He was not even capable
OF governing a small estate, much less
country on the verge of ruin.
He was idle and pleasure loving
and fond of lavish entertainments and
elaborate ceremonies. He put the
king dom into the hands of a favorite,
the duke Of Lerma, a worthless rascal.
who fell from power only when his
own son succeeded him. The house
hold expenses of the royal family in
creased four fold; three fourths went
to the Lermas. Worthless mobiles
swarmed around the kind to secure
pensions-and got them. Finally Philip
at their advice. undertook the step
which brought on the absolute ruin of
Spain, the thirty years war
- hn
story goes that he was killed by the
heat of a pan of charcoal, because the
proper official to take 1t away was not
at hand This humorous exaggeration
OF the formal etiquette of the Spanish
court is told in the memoirs OF the
French ambassa dor Bassompierre.
