In this country (says tho New York Times) we do not feel the need of Royalty. If by some cataclysm a monarch, ft. titular monarch, should be imposed upon us, both we and he would be in a helpless situation, but his would be the more pitiable. Nevertheless^ the judicious among us have to recognise that tOiere are states and 6tages in the soclol and political evolution of mankind in which the monarchical institution may be not only valuable but necessary. Th 6 situation created by the eruption of Vesuvius has given the King of Italy an opportunity to vindicate his public usefulness. He has availed himself of it with a promptness and efficiency .which recall the saying of his grandfather, upon being complimented upon some exhibition of Royal taot: "Oh, that is mv Wade." The present exhibition of tlhat quality is quite impeccable. It was necessarily at the cost of much personal discomfort that the King" went to Naples at all, and exposed himself, if noB to the fldod of lava, to the shower of ashes. And he did not go there for nothing.

Th&t he was making "political capital" out of the performance is a consideration that we may quite reasonably hope was absent from his mind. Bub thflt lie was making political capital is nevertheless entirely evident. The ory of the Neapolitan woman, "You are here, but the Pope ifi not here," expresses a popular sentiment which may have a serious influence lipon the future of tho controversy between the Quirinal and the Vatican.
