A AIussulmnn Possibility.

Our correspondent at Constantinople
touches on a subject which engages good
many earnest minds in Europe at present,
both from a political and humanitarian
standpoint. If we could suppose England
and Russia thoroughly agreed upon the fate
of the tottering Mohammedan Empire, and
prepared to see some form Of government
set up within its borders consonant with the
majority of it's inhabitants and seeking to be
abreast of civilization, the startling question
would remain, What is to be done with the
three millions of Mussulmans? They cannot
be exterminated they cannot be deported.
1t would be futile to expect race used to
domination to act loyalty to government
composed of aliens in creed, and any scheme
of government that would not accord. equal
rights to Mohammedans and Christians
would be repugnant to the rest Of Europe.
Our correspondent thinks that q voluntary
exodus Of the Osmanlis would result This
would no doubt be gradual but the broils
that would ensue when the Mussulman
found the despised infdel made his equal
would hasten it. Then opens ont the great
Moslem possibility. Almost third of the
great Asiatic continent would lie before the
emigrating NIussulmans The elements for
a vigorous and united Moslem Empire, with
its capital on the banks of the Tigris,
are not perhaps apparent, but there
is no moulding force in political experience
the passion of an aggressive religion whose
traditions are of the cimeter and the battle
field above all. The impetus Of persecu-
tion-for that is how every believer in the
Prophet would regard the flight Of the Mos
lens from Turkey-would produce a segre-
cation Of Mohammedans capable of creating
power in Asia that we might mark out en-
the map, but whose resources we could not
so easily measure The scattered khanates
at war or ready to war with Russia the
stagnant Kingdom of Persia and the sleepy
Mohammedan countries to the borders of
Hindostan and China might be vivifed
and Incorporated with it. The idea
would certainly present ITSELF and an idea
Of this kind, sitting millions as through
sieve, is sure to find the man to attempt, if
not to succeed, in its application. All we
know about the Mohammedan in Europe is
that he is out OF place, long an anomaly and
soon an impossibility. If the identification
of Western and Central Asia, often the home
of magnificent empires, would result from
the elimination of Mohammedanism from
Europe, those liberal minded people who do
not think that man should perish because
his ideas Of the manifestation of God to man
differ from theirs will not see cause to
mourn. All the world would be better for
the stimulation to commercial activity that
would ensue.

How WE'LL THE DEMOCRATS STAND BIZ EACH
OTHER We are told that the committee on
the Kerr scandal have agreed upon their re-
port generating the Speaker. and that it is
to be unanimous But we are told also that
the examination has not been concluded.
We like this democratic devotion to men and
principles. At the same time we do not
think the democrats treat Mr.. Pendleton OF
Mr.. Schumacher fairly. These gentlemen
are as much entitled to q report upon their
cases as Mr.. Kerr.

MIR. PETER COOPER evidently thinks that
he may be called upon by the House of
Representatives to take up the onerous
position of President of the United States
after the 4th of March next. The interview
with Mr.. Cooper, in another column, lays his
political aspirations before the country. If
the Presidency comes to him he will resign
himself to his fate, but there is touching
indication of his large-hearted nature in the
hope he expresses that 'Old Bill Allen" will
carry the rag-money banner through the
coming campaign. What the nominee Of a
political convention for the Presidency has
TO say upon the chances ofhis party is worth
hearing, and from philanthropist like Mr..
Cooper these views carry their title to
respect, even if they meet with no accept

dent would carry Ohio and Pennsylvania,
'besides rallying the German VOTE" should
remember that something is due to euphony
and our national love of harmony. What
orator could turn a period with Hartranft
and Taft? What poet could find rhyme
for Taft and Hartranft?
There should be some law on our statute
books or some canon in our ecclesiastical
formulas on this subject of names. When .
man child is born it should be seen that he
that would sound well in conventions. Prov
idence, it is true, has in many cases given
such names to men born to high deeds.
Names like Alexander, Hannibal, Charlie
magne, Napoleon, Marlborough, Plantage-
net Washington, were all in keeping Some
times, as in the case of Caesar and Grant and
Lee, we see a nature which rises above the
poverty of name If Grant had only been
called Plantagenet he might have won his
third term in spite of Belknap.
We trust that our conventions will give US
musical ticket while they are about it.
Conkling, Morgan, Washburne, Sherman,
Frelinghuysen, Sharon, are good names fol
prose or poetry. We do not like Blaine or
Hayes so WELL name like Frelinghuysen
would be as good AS a new coat OF paint to
the White House. 1t would inspire respect
and terror in the breasts of the aristocrats.
1t sounds like roar of artillery. But
name like Blaine or Fish or Jones or Wade
or Taft would be misunderstood. long
name with q good many consonants is what
we want in q canvass.
The democrats are more fortunate than
their opponents in this respect. They have
the imperial name of Bayard to begin with
and Tilden to fall back upon; both good
names, although we wish the Governor had
some Christian name like Roger, or Roderick.
or Mortimer Samuel is one Of the worst
names that could be submitted. to a free
people, There is no name, unless it is
Peter with which the common mind
is apt to take so many liberties
as with Samuel. More than all, il
is an unlucky name, as will be seen
by a careful study of the annals of our
glorious country. There has never been a
Samuel in the White House. We have never
had a Samuel in the Vice Presidency. The
only Samuel who ever sat in the chair of the
Senate as presiding officer was called Smith,
and that was many, many years ago. There
has never been a Samuel Speaker of the
House, and the nearest to it is Protein
Sam Cox, who changed his name to Sunset
with much discernment, before he became
a candidate for his Office. There has never
been Samuel in the State Department, and
so we might continue showing the Importance
of this apparently trifing question in time
like this. 1t is most important that parents
who expect to have their sons in the White
House some day-and where is the proud
parent who does not have this dream P
should see that they have noble, resonant
names, which may catch the imagination Of
the people.

THE VIENNA ScASDAL-Mr. Jay, our late
Minister to the Austrian Court, is evidently
determined not to leave the scandal that
was such reproach to the American nation
during the Vienna Exhibition rest in its
present half-buried condition. His letter,
published elsewhere, asks very pointedly,
and, with a variety Of apt illustration,
Why does not the State Department respond
to the request of the House of Representa-
tives by communicating the report Of the
special commission and the correspondence
in the matter to the House? Can there be
any truth in the statement that the Hou Sc

some gum arabic. 10 restore and
relieve the injured nerve we apply
moist warmth. In practice we can
fulfill all this by the following simple
manipulations Undress the child

hot water; wiring out by means of
dry towels, and put this over the
flannel on the child's abdomen. Then
clothes will. perhaps, require repeated
heat According TO the severity of
the case and its stage OF progress,
perspirauon will commence in the
child in from ten minutes to two

OUR DUMB ANIMALS.
Notes From Bergh.

Horses, though docile and gentle,
are timid and nervous; noise and
violence will only aggravate their
terror if once reused but they can
be soothed if man has the sense and
temper to go about his task in o
right way.
When you are warmly tucked
up in bed, and congratulate yourself
upon your excellent mattress, think
what kind of bedding your horses,
cattle and dog have. If you have
attended to he matter it will make
your own bed still more comfortable.
-"Ohl Pm only going to stop a
minute, | don't need to cover my
horse" is a frequent exclamation,
when friend COOS to make q call at
house, store or shop. But the
minute" often extends to 6 quar-.
ter or half an hour, and in the mean.
time the horse suffers.
Whenever | go into stable and

most tractable, sensitive, and grateful
animals in creation is beng shouted
at, sworn at, bullied by the man who
is paid to treat it well.
Going to church on the Sabbath,
and to evening meeting, or to lee,
,ures, may be productive Of good to
the hearer, but if during the service,
his horse is standing uncovered or
half covered outside, we should con-
tend that be needed different sort
of preaching than be had been ac-
customed TO. Provide good warm
blanket, with proper straps and buck
leg, and do not rely upon an Old
worn-out robe, which will most like

not half cover the horse. The truest

THE
WEEKLY WISCONSIN
FOR 1876.
BETTER THAN EVER.

The camiug year, it is anticipated, will be
one of the most important aud interesting in
the civil history of the country. 1t will be the
year of Presidential election, in which the
question of finance will enter into the party
campaigns and political discussions as never
before. II will be the centennial year of the
nations declaration of independence, aud, be-
sides being marked By the celebrations incident
to such notable event, it is to witness an ex>
position of the products of agriculture, manu-
features and art far greater and more compre~
hensive than has ever occurred upon the con-
tinent. These things will make newspaper
more than ever an indispensable thing IN every
family.
The propretors Of the Weekly Wisconsin,
design that it shall be, even more completely
than heretofore, if possible, an epitome Of inn
portant current events all over the world, and
especially IN our own country. Everything of
general interest will find its appropriate men~
ton. Political affairs. commercial interests
especially those pertaining to our own State
and nation, and social and moral questions will
be regularly reported, and fully and indepen-
IDENTIFY discussed, as their Importance may
seem to demand The currency question will
receive the thorough discussion which its great
Importance demands, and the Wisconsin will
always be found OH the side of honest money
In addition to a complete digest of the cur
rent news, the Wisconsin will contain serial
and short stories of character to interest all
and offend none The young folks will always
find something to interest them, the farmer,
the gardner and housekeeper will not be for
cotton by the editor in filing up his columns
Art, science, fashion and general literature
will have their place, and, in short, nothing
that goes to make up complete and whole-
some news and literary paper viii be omitted.
