Will there be Religious War,

From widely separated parts of the
Mohammedan world we hear of the fanat-
les calling Tor n holy war.
In Central Asia the Mohammedans Of
Khokand have been trying 10 resist the
advance of Russia by stimulating holy
war; and in European Turkey, according
TO the London Times, the agitation for a
war of this kind has taken u strong hold
of the Mohammcdan population.
On all sides the Mohammedans see how the
Christian powers are closing IN upon such
remnants of their ancient dominions as are
yet left to them, closing in upon Turkey
itself, rs well rs upon Egypt, and Persia,
and Turkcstan, and the North African king
doms During the last century the political
authority of Northumberland has ceased
to exist over many millions of its subjects,
from the Indies to the Straits of Gibraltar;
and nowhere, except in somo parts Of
China, has the sword of Islam been able to
assume the aggressive.
But that faith cannot make n successful
stand against tho forces of Christendom I;
and the outbreak of a holy war in Turkey
would soon be brought 10 an cad in the
obliteration Of the Sultan's emnire g.,
europe. True enough if the old fires of
Mohammedan fannticism could be kindled
over the Mussulman world, their extin-
guishment would involve frightful
amount OF bloodshed; but cooperation be-
tween the Mohamme4an powers Of Asia
Europe, and Africa is an mpossibility

Not few OF them would perish but for the aid
they receive from medical quackery. Hence the
importance OF the movement in the Baltimore

The editors and the quacks can make strong
argument for their union. The editors may 20

The womeu's Suffrage Meeting,

The women of the National Suffrage As
ISOLATION had things their own way at Masonic
Hall The President, Mrs. Gage, conducted the
meeting under strict parliamentary rules. Miss
Susan ID. Anthony, In spite Of fines ana impris-
onment, was as KINDLY aud hopeful as ever.
Arayed In q stylish suit OF black, she gives
promise OF many years to work for the good Of
her sex and Of humanity. She announced a
meeting in Philadelphia on the coming Fourth
of July Of all the most distinguished women OF
the movement, not To celebrate their indepen-
dence, but to declare II, as their forefathers had
left them In the rear just one century. III they
could not give centennial cheer, they could

been invaded by Hot, the boudoir by Worth,
aud even man milliners were the rage. Women
have always found employment In Switzerland,
where, out oil $500 watchmakers, one-third are
women. She spoke of the newspapers edited
by women, the first OF which was by Mrs. &. |.
b. Nichols, of Vermont, and the last by Mrs. s.
X. l.. Williams, OF Toledo. She claimed place
| for women In the construction OF Strasbourg

| Ell whitney, an ingenious young Yankee, was an
inmate, and said the sisters OF stonewall jack

an excitement on the arrival Of the Misses Smith

Will the Centennial Exhibition Pay

1t is estimated that 100, 600 people visited
the Centennial grounds upon the opening
day. Ii is also estimated that $1,000, or
nearly one-fourth of the total number,
marched in the noble army of deadheads,
the column led by GRANT, and tailed by
country editors, Philadelphia ward poll
ticians, and relatives of Congressman,
even to the third aud fourth degrees Of
cousinship.
BY an easy and obvious arithmetical
process. IL will be seen that II there were
100000 paying visitors Mt fifty cents each,
the total receipts at the gates were just
$4,000. But on Thursday the total attend
ance fell to 5000. Allowing that the
dsadhead attendance decreased in like
ratio, which, by the way, is not at all
probable, the second days receipts were
about $4,000.
The great show, excluding any allow
ance for current expenses while it is open,
has cost about $500, 900. Caterers. cigar
and popcorn peddlers, and other indi-
viduals whose patriotism has not obseured
their enterprise have paid in about $780,
COZ for concessions and privileges. In
order, therefore, TO repay the money con-
tributed by the United States, Pennsyl-
vania, and Philadelphia, and private sub
scrbers TO Centennial stock, the Exhibition
will have to net $1,000 900 over It's running
expenses.
But to earn $4,000, 900, even in gross, the
receipts must average more than $4,000
for every one of the one hundred and fifty
nine days Of the show. This would require
daily attendance Of 100, 900 payin visit
ors. Is il reasonable to expect that. this
average will be reached7 We fear not
Taking the season through, the average
attendance is more likely to approach the
second days figures than those of the first
1t is true that the situation might be i'm
proved by throwing open the Exhibition
at half price on Sundays and by cutting
off every one of the $1,000 doadheads But
even under these more favorable condi-
tions, we do not see any probability of the
repayment Of the Government loan OF
Il $50 GEO. and none OF the patriots who
have subscribed TO Centennial stock by
way of speculation can congratulate them
selves on the prospect of a dividend.

What Gov. Tilden Most Needs.

Gov .TILDES would almost certainly be the
next Democratic candidate for President of
the United States, and would be elected to
that Office, If the Democracy Of the State
of New York were perfectly united in his
favor. At present very serious division
exists. We are AT n loss to understand why
the feeling OF dissatisfaction with Gov.
TILDEN should extend to so many infiuen-
tial men in his own party as il now reaches.
Can anything be done to heal the differ
ences, AT present fraught with mischief
and danger! What the Governor needs
above all other help at present is some
able, prudent, ,peace-maklng friend. Has
lac such friend: rhe kind OF man re-
quircd is very rare, even in politics or
diplomacy. ISAAC SHERMAN could do il.
Perhaps ALLEN G. BEACH could; but it is
said, unfortunately, that Mr.. BEACH,

Mr.. Adams Blunders.

or all our public men, perhaps Mr..
CHARLrs FRANCIS ADAMS is the least in
formed in regard to the details Of political
affairs in his own country and the per-
sonal relations of leaders of parties to pub
lie events. He is man of the closet n
student Of political philosophy, and gem
eralizer, having no bond Of sympathy with
the plain people" as Mr.. LINCOLN called
them, but standing hahtually aloof
from them and holding himself above their
contact, as il he were superior being.
Accustomed to look down upon the
world from a high pedestal, and not shar-
ing in the active movement OF American
life, il is not unnatural that he should be
msled in his appreciation Of prominent
individuals, or that his thoughts should be
colored by the prejudces or pariialities of
the very limited circle in which he moves
and has his being. a striking illustration of
the blundeIs into which such recuse as he
may fall, by dependence on the opinion of
Others, is furnished in the H,rdid'S account

that the services were cond ucted In a most dec
oTous manner every way honorable to the en-
tertained and credtable TO the entertainer.
Our celebrated obituary poet was equal to all
the emergencies. The Invitations read as fol-
lows:

the 26tn Of last month, on a cattle farm called
Carballo, near CanRrejo. The rebels consist.
ed OF the two bands OF GARLIC aud Munoz, cav
airy and infantry, about 900 men in all. They were
attacked by the Spaniards, who were speedily
b alted by the flames, tho insurgents having set
1re to the dry grass. The troops charged
through the fire and disodged their enemies,
killing seven men aud capturing six horses. The
spanlards state their loss at one man killed and
six wounded. On the following day they caught
up with the retreating Cubans and dispersed
them, after short nght, at a place called Las
Pedras.

After taking careful survey of the
whole field, we are bound In candor TO declare
our opinion that the nomination Of Roscoe
CoSKLINo for President would excite, among
the Republicans Of New York, greater degree
OF enthusiasm and zeal than could be excited
by the nomination OF any other man. The nomi-
nation 81 BENJAMIN II. BRIsTow would I'M
doubtedly attract to the Republican ticket the
support of II good many dissatisfied and indie
pendent voters, and, in some circumstances
which might be imagined, BRIsTow might also
gain small amount OF Democratic support !;
but for ardent determination and right down
plucky hard work. the nomination of CoSKIISG
would be tremendously effective.

The Mushohee language, aud the Dako-
IA language, and the Powapo language, are
costly languages for the supporters OF the Amer
lean Bible Society, which, as appears from its
report just rendered, has got out new versions
OF the Scriptures In them, and which has also
procured a revised text Of the Reyal Esthonian
Bible. The number of sinners who read In the
Mushohee, Powape, and Dakota tongues con-
stitute but a limited portion Of tho population
OF the globe, ana their Bibles must be expensive
books. while they are so carefully looked after
at heavy price, the asses sunk in heathcnism
and Indebtedness within the limits Of our own
great cities ought not TO be wholly given over to
neglect Their welfare should be looked after
as well as that Of the Mushohees. The agencies
of religion owe something to them also, even
though they can be found without going far
away.

foF observation-disclosures the Count JoASSRs.
Mr.. ToDD inquiries whether q constitutional
objection would hold against the Count on the
ground that he is the possessor Of patent Of
nobility f.Om a foreign potentate. We answer
that there Is no objection against the Count on
this ground, since the Constitution does not In
clude the possession Of such patent among the
ditQuallhc atoms for holding the ONCE Of Prcsi-
dent. We opine, however, that there Is another
constitutional hindrance which will render II
impossible TO run this celebrated individual.
We understand him TO be a native Of the princi-
palitv Of Wales, and both the President and
e-President must be native-ooIn citizens OF

neither be elected President nor Vice. President.
More's the pity. But no such obstacle rises ND
against the candidacy Of GEORGE WASHINGTON
CHups. A. "A. He was born In this country, and
is a wealthy. upright, benevolent, and hon
ored citizen. His literary distinction as the
great American obituary poet would contribute
greatly to attract voters to his standard and
the fact that he Is named after the illustrious
first President OF the republic renders II pecul-
larry appropriate that lie should be nominated Ia
this Centennial year. Let Mr.. TODD select some
other candidate than the Count JoANSEs for
Vice. President, and then BEGIN the cam paign In
earnest. He will ind many jealous allies.
