in olinging to its old Gothic form of represen-
tative government. The revolution of 1865
has swept away the Bourbons, and with ii the
fathless crown that has proved 80 inimical to
popular rights and popular progress in Spain
VIII the new Spanish formula present a
successful solution to the European problem ?
The question is a momentous one, and the
reply lies in the success or failure the formula
meets with in Spain itself. If it respects the
popular rights and permits the development of
the popular energies in production, commerce
and science, then it will present an example
hasten to initiate. These are already tired of
the follies and fripperies of royalty, and OF
the cOstliness of large standing armies, with
their attendant yearly increase Of the public
debt and the public burdens; but they find no
safety for human society in the sans-culottism
of 1889, or in the red republisanism of lS4S.
In the present state of the European mind,
therefore, the Spanish formula of throne
without king and regent without crown
presents to the peoples the most interesting
and to the dynasties the most formidable
problem in the whole circle of political
philosophy.


Will it succeed in Spain? That depends
upon the wisdom and the prudence of the
Spanish people. If they are alive to the
causes which in the past have made the peO-
pie weak and the crown strong; if they per-
ceive how foreign conquest and colonial
development have drained the kingdom of its
youth and enterprise, only to strengthen the
royal treasury and make it Independent of the
popular will; if they reject the false code Of
honor which the Hapsburgs and the Bour-
bOns cultivated only for their own aggrandize-
ment, then the new experiment will succeed.
If they fail to do these things then will Spain
relapse from its revival Of Gothic freedom and
fall back to become puppet of monarchy,
with Bourbon or BOnaparte behind it to
pull the royal wires. In word, the Cuban
question is to-day the touchstone of Spanish
freedom and of the Spanish formula for the
disenthralment of Europe The liberties
which the revolution Of 1868 has restored to
the Spanish people cannot be denied to the
people of Cuba without sapping the founda-
tiOns of liberty in Spain. A successful war to
reduce the Cubans again to the old Spanish
despotism can only strengthen the monarchical
principle in the Iberian peninsula. 1t were
better, much better, for the Spanish regency to
assent to separation on terms honorable to
both, or even to ding Cuba entirely off without
consideration of any kind, than to wage war
with her, whether it be successful or unsuc
cessful In either event the new Spanish
system would be weakened before Europe and
before the world.

corner of Eighteenth and Chestnut streets
by very excited individual, who inform
ed him in most emphatic terms, 81 have
stopped your paper sir" and proceeded to
explain the why and wherefore, all the
time gesticulating wildly,


"My gracious, sir, you don't say so,-
Come with me to the Office, and let us
see if we cannot remedy the matter. 1t
grieves me that any one should stop my
paper" Down Chestnut street to Third

Mr.. Swain said Why, my dear sir, every
thing seems to be going on here as usual (;

Then and there the excited gentleman,
whom the long walk, by the way, had
partly cooled, said that he had stopped
taking his one copy of the Ledger Mr..
Swain was profuse in his apologies for
having misunderstood the meaning of his
late subscribers word and regretted that
he had given him the tramp from Eigh-
teenth street to Third down Chestnut.


The gentleman went on his way home

the stupidity of editors in general, and Of
Mr.. Swain in particular. Before he left
however, he ordered that the Ledger be

A SAGAcIous ELEPHANT.-A Detriot
paper has the following concerning Il
certain elephant, Annie recently exhibit
ted in that city as part Of II travelling
menagerie:


Miss Annie is model female-one Of
the old school, and would as soon twist
her head off with her trunk as to harm a
human being who treated her courteously.
Last winter, in her quarters at Philadel-
phia, she exhibited love and hate in very
singular manner. Mclaughlin had i'm
bibed rather freely, and returning to the
barn, got into difficulty with a police
man, who was bent on arresting him.
The cop had been around the barn good
deal, and was somewhat acquainted with
the elephent. The trainer fed to the barn
and getting behind Baby refused to submit
to arrest. The NJ. p, boldly advanced to
bring him out, when the elephant thrust
him aside with her trunk. This was re-
peated several times, the trainer encour-
aging her, when the policeman gave her
an angry blow with his baton, and sought
to push by. Blowing her shrill trumpet.
Baby caught him round the waist, and
giving him strong whirl, deposited the
frightened blue-coat in barrel Of oats
thirty feet away. As he had no instruc-
tions to arrest elephants, and could not ar
rest the man without her, he concluded
not to press matters further.


At another time last summer, during
hot night, Mclaughlin laid down beside
Baby on bale of hay, ,and soon fell asleep.
Near him was the cage of the Bengal IT,
ger, a fierce aud ungovernable animal,and
trcacherous to the last degree. BY lying
down the beast could get his paws at full
length under the bars, and on the mom-
ing of that very day he had thus given
his unsuspecting keeper stroke with his
claws that tore open the mans check IN Il
horrible manner. Restless, Mclaughlin
rolled about, and the eyes of the Royal
glistned as he saw the body coming near
er to his cruel claws. At length, Just as
one of the keepers entered the door, the
trainer rolled down so near that the tiger
reached out and caught his clothes With
savage snarl, he was Strengthening back
for pull, to get the flesh under his nails,
when the elephent, who had also been
sleeping, rose up at the growl, and seeing
the situation at glance, rushed forward,
before the man at the door has scarcely
advanced step, and with blow of her
trunk made the tiger let 90 of his hold
and scream with pain and fury.

started by this convention We may expect
that general discussion soon will follow

doubt not the republicans of New York this
