ChristendOm and Islam.

The recent msssacres of Christians in Arabia are
regarded as the symptoms of aramnifed combination
among the Mohammedsn population of the East to
resist Christian influence and enorOaohments. In
Turkey, among the old MOhammedan party, in Per-
STA, in Northern Hindostan, and in every part of
Asia in which the followers of Islam predominant
indications have been given of a reawakened hostil
ity to the Christians. 1t is known that the vast
Mussulman population of the East have constant
systematic communication with each other, but its
mode or nature has never been asOertained; and so
perfect is the system in India, that news passes
among the natives quicker than it is carried by the
British cOuriers.
There cannot be any doubt that the instruction
in India is known to all the Mussulman tribes in
Asia and the recent massacre of Christians may be
traced to its influence. This is the opinion enter
TONED in England and the British journals begin to
realize the formid Ible difficulties which lie in the
way of carrying Western civilization among the
Mohammedan population of the East. There is a
strong autsgonism between ChristendOm and Islam,
and how to abate this sntagonism, and establish
relations of trade and intercourse which shall be
mutually beneficial, is problem which the Govern
ments of Europe do not show the capacity to solve.
The London Daily Nss, specializing on this subject,
says:
.sThe Territories of Christian and Mussulman
States are already much intermingled, and may any
day become more So The commerce between Chris
tian and Mahometan nations is extensive and of
vital consequence to both That code ofinternational
law which is now recognized and appealed to by all
the States of Christian civilization in their dealings
with each other, has been regarded entirely
applicable, perhapss not applicable to negotiations
and transactions between Christian and Mahometan
States. But it is clear from history and from PASS
ing events, that universally recognized system
Of pOlcy-sOme international code-that shall reg
ulate the relations Of Christendom to Islam, is an
urgent want.
by recognizing Islam as an integral part Of the
great system Of nations, abundant source of ma
uonal jealousies, enmties and wars would be dried
up. America would be much benefited by this
as Europe, for the relations between its Western
shores and the Mshometan world are daily incress-
ing, and will continue to increase But no country
has such direct, pervading, and vital interest in
placing the relations of Christendom and Islam on
satisfactory footing as Great Britain"
BIT while Great Britain seeks to be master in the
East; while she carries on her encrOschments there
she will not only fail in establishing satisfactory
relations with Islam, but her policy will operate to
the prejudice of other nations of Christendom.

WHAT WArTIEe HAsDoNE Six or eight years ago
the United States government received shower OF
abuse from The English journals for its supposed
completely with Lopez's design Of stealing CnoS
from Spain. Our government had daily homiiies
read to it Of the enormous wiekedness of its greed
for territorial acquisition besides being threatened
with the united powers of Europe to stop its hibus>
tering design. Government calmly listened and
went on its peaceful course of maintaining its just
and fair obligations toward DeighbOring nations
and Cuba remained secure in Spanish possessions
Now, however, the British journalists are DESTROYS
that the United States should possess the island
and present some very solid arguments Why we
should have it. In spite Of the English antipa'by
10 American iibusterng, We are even urged to pos
sess ourselves oGi all the enc spun political morals
of The former against cTi'orei greed being
blown to the winds.

The Baaner evidently wishes its party to derive
all the benefit it can from its advocacy of the Bank
and Tariff policy, but does not wish it TO bear any
of the responsibility. When we warn the Demo"
Gratis who were caught in the Know Nothing trap,
that their organs are reviving the old dOctaines
which they as Democrats have always opposed, the
Bq,nsr tells us that it was expressing iHdiUidual
opinion, and not the sentiments Of the party. And
vet tbs Banner endeavOrs to enlist supporters for
the onDosition on the ground that the Democratic
low Tariff policy is wrong. Now, why does the
Banner use this argument unless it means that his
party will change this policy? We wish the Ban"s'
would use some mark by which VIC might know
what it says for itself, and what for the party.
We should like to know from the Banner whether
it processes to be the organ of the K N or the WhiG
party? Hoist your flag, neighbor!
