We have dwelt elsewhere upon the wickedness of the crime,
and upon the importance of treating all such outrages as quietly and with as little sensation as possible, since the mad- men who perpetrate them are invariably eaten up with vanity, and are desirous of posing before the world as endowed, through their reckless courage and the principles they profess, with a kind of superhuman power. We trust that the young Queen will soon be able to forget the horror of the outrage in the love of her husband and in the affection which it is clear she inspires in the people of her new country. Nothing was wanted to bring her and her husband qioser together ; but the love and respect in which she is alreafry held by the Spanish people will no doubt be increased by their sympathy for her in the dreadful ordeal to which she has been exposed. The King and Queen reap be assured that they ha, the sympathy of the whole world, and that the detestatiop of the foul wrong
done to them is shared by all the sane portion of mankind. It is curious to note that it was on May 31st just a year ago that King Alfonso's life was attempted by a bomb outrage. When driving in Paris with President Loubet a bomb was thrown which killed the horses of the carriage.
