A New Service in the Mosque of
ST. SOphia

The mosque of st. Sophia in Constantinople,
to-day the largest Mohammedan mosque, as it
was once the largest Christian church in the
world, was long jealousy guarded from Euro
pean intrusion, as if the supremacy of Islam
depended on keeping from the PROCLAMATION of
the infidel this visible proof of the success of
the religion of the prophet. When, shortly
after the Crimean war, Europeans began to be
admitted, it was noted by superstitious Mos
lens that the stucco and whitewash with
which the interior of the great dome was plas-
tered to hide the Byzantine mosaics of the 7th
century straightway peeled and crumbled,
bringing to view the dim and shadowy outlines
of an aureoled Christ, first seen for four CEN
turtles, and behind which lay the figure of a
cross.
There has always been superstitious dread
among Moslems that this building would be re-
turned some day to its earlier uses. A walled
door has its legend that Christian prince
would some day pass through it to the celebra-
tion of mass and other legends and supersti-
tons of this sort cluster around every corner of
the basilica of Justinian. These things ex-
plain the bigoted care with which the edifice
was once secluded to the worship of the faith
luh d care WHICH gives every IlDefal Cnange IN
the Moslem management of this great cathe-
dral mosque q peculiar interest as the sign and
proof of increased tolerance. A private letter
from Constantinople gives the last and most
extraordinary of these changes in the use of
the mosque in the notice of new service to be
held in this Mosem church for the broad and
catholic discussion of creeds to which men
without distinction of faith are invited; a SER
vice whose historical interest could only be
paralleled by notice from the sacristy sum-
moning all men in like manner to a conference
in the nave of st. Peters. A translation of
this notice with its curious mixture of oriental
hours and occidental thought runs:
Notice is hereby given that in the mosque of St.
Sophia, every Friday and Tuesday, just after noon
prayers, at o'clock, Turkish lesson will be given
from Iyhurai Huck IA very useful book newly COM
posed, reconcilng the differences of religion ANY
one, whatever may be his religion, may come to the
mosque at the said hour and hear the lesson free
change.
Ali, Teacher of Arabic and English.
1t is not surprising that the missionary who
writes of finding this remarkable notice left on
his desk of a morning adds, "We cannot but
look upon this as most remarkable departure
from the old path of exclusiveness. Surely the
underpinning of time-honored bgotries is go
ing fast" There are some Christian sanctua-
ries where meeting "recofciling the differ
ences of religion would not be out of place,
and it might we'll be begun by search for
truth in the spirit suggested by the Arabic til
tie OF the book mentioned in the notice.

The Credit for Refunding.

The New York World of Wednesday had
a long leading article on Secretary Sherman
and the refunding operations of the Treas
uly, in which it inferred that he would in
his Portland speech claim the credit of re-
funding as peculiarly his own and due to his
individual efforts. AS it happened the Sec
retary did no such thing He gave clear
account of the operations of the Treasury
Department while it has been under his
control, but took no more than due credit to
himself, and that by inference and not in
words. 1t was as modest speech as ever a
politician delivered.
After its ''skit'' at Sherman, the World
went on to commend the refunding opera
tions as in the direction of economy, and
insist that s'the Congress of 1S70-71, and the
Grant Administration of those years, togeth-
er with Secretary Boutwell,, are entitled to
the credit of that legislation" With this
assertion we have no quarrel. On the con-
trary we admire the candor of the World in
making it. At the same time it should be
borne in mind that Secretary Sherman was,
during the years this legislation was per-
fected, at the head of the Finance Commit
tee of the Senate, and so had much to do in
shaping it. His connection with the refund
ing operations did not begin with his accept
ance of the Treasury portfolio, but is of
older date
One other point that the World seeks to
make calls for attention. 1t says Mr.. Sher-
mans work in refunding has been done un-
der the domination of Democratic Con
gress. This assertion is far from correct.
The work was done while we had Dem
ocratic Congress, but done in spite of that
Congress, not with its aid, nor by its COM
mand. The Democratic Houses have sought
to cripple Che Secretary and stay his finan-
cial operations. By Democratic House the
resumption act was repealed. By Dem
ocratic House the Warner silver bill with its
Congress the sinking fund was broken into.
BY Democratic Congress the sources of
the Government revenue were reduced and
the appropriations to carry the Government
on increased. All these acts and attempts
had a tendency to injure refunding, and
some of them did for time put stop to
the sale of bonds bearing the lower rate of
interest. What Secretary Sherman has ac-
complshed has been in the face of Dem
ocratic opposition and by the support of The
Republican party.
SENSIBLE comment by the Boston Herald:
''The sad case of Wiscasset, Me-, shows one
of the evils of that speculative mania which
an irredeemable currency excites. Wiscasset
was not the only town that went into wild
expenditures under the mistaken idea that
they were wise investments. The same
spirit was displayed all over the country,
cutting up farms into house lots, running
up prices beyond reason, and expecting ev-
cry purchase to yield profit. Wiscasset in
creased its debt to nearly half its valuation
in what we called ''flush' times. and when
the inevitable crash came it found itself
bankrupt. No stronger argument can be
found against the theories of the imitation
lists, who think that money can be manufac-
tured out of rags dd libituna.
