press OF Constantinople has teemed with
vindications OF the Sultan's title to the cal
iphate, and that Turkish emissaries have
been ordered to push the Pan-Islam propa-
sanda, which has already given the French
SO much trouble in North Africa. In accord
ance with the new policy, the Porte has
stopped the execution OF such laws as by
conferring certain civil riehts upon Chris
tian subjects tended toward the secnlariz,-
tion NJ tho state, and has rejected he prof
ccts Of Internal improvements suggested by
Western capitalists. In short, the assertion
of the calinhal authority, in its Target and
most aggressive sense, by hDD Ell HAMIp,
has necessarily entailed vehement reaction
against European Influences. a reputation
Of modern ideas, methods, aud Inventions,
and an attitude of bitter though not always
avowod animosity toward all Christian
powers. Thus the occupation OF Tunis which
could not materially damage the interests
OF ADD Ell HAMrD regarded as a temporal
monarch, becomes an object OF profound con-
Germ and keen resentment to the head OF the
Islamic theocracy. tho consecratcd delegate

world. But NJ. CHARMEs ooncurs with Mr..
Blunt in affirming that the ruler Of the
Ottoman State, in its hour OF mutilation anu
discrodit, is not qualified to take advantage
oi the Pan-Isiamic impulse. The hopes
and plans OF those believers who desire
reconstruction Of tho old thoOcracy, point in
n different direction. II is only in North
Africa, where Turkish troops and Turkish
money would be useful against the French
invaders. that Arabs look with anything
but indifference or contempt upon ADD Er.

other countries wholly or partly occupied
by ofTshoots OF the Arabian stock, In Egypt
Syria Mesopotamia, aud Arabia proper. the
regeneration OF Islam Is associated with the
deposition OF the Ottoman caliph aud q
transfer OF supreme authority to the sacred
tribe OF Korcysh, IL not to n lineal descend
ant OF MouAMMED. 1t is NJ. CHARMES'S con-
vction that ADD Ell HANDS claim to the
calphal Office will soon be brushed aside,
even in his own dominons outside OF Ana
tolia, which Is mainly settled by Turks.
The general conclusion reached by tho
French observer IL that what he terms the
caliphal policy OF ADD Ell HAMTD Is des-
tined to prove as futile as the scheme OF
secularizatlon projected by MTDuAT Pasha.
Nothing, in his opinion. can avail to long
avert the loss not only'oi tho Sultan's few
remaining possessions in Europe, but OF oil
his territories In Asia with the solo exccp-
tion OF Anatolia. And even that broad and
fertile region, which might easily, by de-
vcloping the means OF internal communica-
tion, be transformed into Il powerful king
dom, will be exhausted. he thinks, beyond
the hope OF recovery, through the enormous
sacrifices in mon and money involved in
ADD Ell HAMTD's scheme OF putting himself
forward as the champion o; Islam.

Guiteau's Trial.

QuTTFAU's eccentricities were further de-
soribed yesterday by witnesses who had
known him at different periods. Ono gave a
picture OF fight between the prisoner and
his father when the former was a young
man; another gave his Impressions of
GuTTEAU when member OF the Oneida
Community. Senator LOGAN told how
GUITEAU pestercd him with his persistent
application for consular Office, and said
he believed the prisoner was crazy. A col
ored man who saw GUITEAU at the Whto
House expressed a similar belle! Us to his
sanity.
The most painful interest attached to the
story OF the prisoners life as related by his
sister, Mrs. SCovILLE. She described her
brothers. childhood; his youthful peculari-
ties; his lifo In her home; his college days,
when she first detected his mental aborra-
tion; her fright on discovering, when he as-
Baulted her with an axe, that he was appar-
emily crazed beyond the power OF self
control.
GUrrEAu was in quieter mood than on the
previous day, but his interruptions oontin-
ued to be frequent.

At the Close of Autumn.

replace wheels throughout the region In
the neighb0rhood OF the Canada border.
Here in New York. however. the weather
continues to be favorable to trade and to all
outdoor occupations. Never before was
building more active than 1t ia now. and the
contractors throughout the city are hasten
ing their work In these fresh and exhi!arat-
ing days, which may soon be followed By
a season when inclement weather will
interrupt the process OF construction.
In the last few years the extension OF
the city to the northward has been re-
markably rapid. On the east side OF the
town especially, far up in the new wards.
the streets are now lined with fiue dwell
logs. and building in that region is proceed
ing this autumn with great activity. There
and elsewhere many elegant structures are
under way. and the number of apartment
houses in the city Is being much increased
These apartment houses are now built not
only by private individuals. but also by as
sociatIons. the members of which own their
own apartments.

now put TIP, and all the architects make n
special study OF plans for tho construction
OF the great apartment honsss which are so
rapidly Increasing, in tho upper part OF tho
city especially.
Down town, too, the work OF building is
going on at an unexampled rate. Yet as
fast as the structures are completed they
seem TO fill up with tenants, the demand for
stores and Offices being unusually brisk, and
the rents paid much IN excess OF what they
were three and four years ago even. Accord
lngly vast amount Of the capital which
has been earning only two or three per cent
annually is put into these structures, which
are increasing 80 rapidly and are OF so euor-
nous size that their owners could not ex-
pect to find tenants for them IL the city was
not growing in population and business, in
wealth and tho volume Of its transactions,
at rate unparalleled in tho past.
This activity in building is afTording the
mechanics plenty OF work, and enabling
them to command wages which seem to be
satisfactory. Tho high prices OF food this
season. however, tell severely against fam
ilics with small or moderate incomeS, and
thero is no prospect that we shall have
markets more favorable TO them for many
months to come. Articles OF clothing, on
the contrary, have not advanced, though in
general the cost OF living Is now considera-
bly, moro than 1t was year ago. Board Is
higher, tho hotels hold their rooms Mt sitter
rates, restaurants have put up thoir prices
for food, and rents have been increased.
The retail venders OF costly articles OF
luxury are all doing a thriving business. for
there are now far moro people OF wealth and
taste in the country than formerly, and the
rage for house decoration has spread from
New York and Boston to tho furthest mining
settlement. The prices obtained at tho auc-
tion sales OF late have been very large on the
average. and some OF them prcposterously
high Meantime, the dealers In jewels, in
ceramics, in artistic furniture and decora-
tions, In glass and rich stufrs for coverings
and for hangings, do not lack for customers
who are not frightened at great prices.
Under such circumstances, with citizens
and strangers OF wealth spending their
money SO freely and competing In the orna-
mentation OF their dwellings, with business
prospecting and n crowded city, with sup
ply OF goods never before cqnalled for
beauty, taste, and attractlvcness. 1t Is rca-
sonab!e to expect that tho holiday trade FOR
which the merchants have prepared them
selves will le extraordinarily great this year.
At the close Of autumn, therefore, the city
is remarkably busy, hopeful, and prosperous.

The Vitality of German Socialism.

A surprising feature of tho German polit-
ical situation Is the tenacty with which the
Socialists have maintained their party or
ganization. In spite Of the tremendous ma
chinery organized for their suppression and
put In BIsMARCK's hands by O subservient
Legislature they have greatly increased in
numbers. and have now demonstrated their
political power by returning to the Keichs-
tag more delegates than they have ever
before elected. II they could do this while
deprived OF the instruments deemed essen
tial TO tho propagation OF opinion-of the
right OF public speaking. OF printing. and OF
assembling-and while necessarily exposed
to fine, Imprisonment. and banishment from
their homes, what may they not accomplish
when tho laws levelled against them shall
have become inoperative2
1t is not to be supposed that the German
Parliament, elected as 1t Is by universal
suffrage will consent to renew indefinitely
the laws aimed against the Socialists, which
have stripped largo fraction OF the people
of rights essential to the exercise OF the
franchise, epd which. by permitting Bis
MARcK to declare the great cities in state
OF siege, have seriously trammeiled the ac-
tion OF all parties not specially favored by
the Chancellor. We may depend upon IL
that in Berlin, Hamburg, and Leipsic, aud
wherever a state Of siege bad been pro-
claimed. not only the Socialists. but the Pro-
pressists and Secessionists, were obstructed
and harassed by the police throughout the
canvass which preceded tho late elections.
Neither can the Clericals-no matter how
conclliatory the Chancellor's attitude may
be Just now-afrord to sanction much longer

turned against themselves. For where mon

We may look for n good many soandalous

in Berlin. Hamburg. and Leipsic comes up
for discussion In the Roiehstag. And when

A Celestial Outlook.

This is good time to study some OF the
other worlds that, like our own. receive light
and heat from the sun. 1t has been known
for centuries that our world Is not the only
ono in sight. While living in this world we
can gee, although We cannot reach. num-
ber of others circling in the sky. With
powerful telescopes astronomers have been
able 10 discover so many OF the features oil
these other worlds as TO kindle the hope
that we may yet be able to see the inhab-
itants o. some OF them. Before that would
be possible however. We should have TO
make q telescope thousands OF times more
powerful than the largest now In existence.
Scientific men have. at present. no hope OF
being able TO construct such an instrument.
But with the Instruments We have.
many things can be seen In these
distant worlds but little less interesting
than sight OF their Inhabitants. Astrono-
mers have found out that the nearest world

waterless desert. II anybody doubts their
conclusions, let him visit an observatory

times, or. what is about the same thing,

Then they have found out that sorae OF tho

EcgGing from Mrs. Garfield.

A telegram from Cleveland says that Mrs.
GARFIELD Is overwhelmed with letters from
all parts of ths country begging FOR money.
So many como every day that it is impos-
sbla for her ever to answer them.
These applications for charitable relief
are doubtless prompted by tho knowledge
that Mrs. GAEFIELD has lately received a
gift of upward OF three hundIed thousand
dollars solely on account Of hcr own family
m.sfortuuos. The poor widow from the
most miserable farm house in tho land,
whosc handwriting husband has been muir
dered by somo wretched tramp, can see no
reason why She should not receive aid
similar to that given TO the wife Of the dead
President. What inequality may some-
times occur in the distribution Of charity!
