education and ciyilisation, for their
acceptance would be fatal, as every
Moslem feels to Islam. Language
is the instrument Of education, and
the MoSlem world, when seeking
what we call learning is r~eligiously
restricted to two sacred tongues
Arabic and Persian. Individual ex-
ceptions do not touch the general ar
gumemt. PoIygamy, also, and unli-
mited divorce and slavery are gan
grenes which are an essential part OF
Islam, and continuously corrupt each
class as it rises to wealth and power.
Freedom of thought and liberation,
too, are absolutely forbidden by the
Sacred Law, and an impossible bar
rier is thus interposed between Ma
hommedanism and modern civilisa-
tion. Pathetic, therefore, as the
"cry" of the Indian Mahommedans
is, and as much as we may sympa-
thise with them in their decadenCe,
we fear that no cure is to be found
in all the pharmacy Of political SCI
euce. No artificial aids of the kind
suggested by the Syed Ameer Ali
can, at best, do more than retard-
they cannot arr3st-the decay OF a
system which bears within its own
constitution the seeds of steady social
decline.

NA ~S 49,
which binds the conscience of the
whole Mussulman world. "Spiritual
power in Islam," says Ubicini, truly.
"begins and ends with Mahommed."
Islam thus claims to be a universal
empire, covering the whole sphere of
human relations and duties, both
civil and religious. And the right
of citizenship in this worldwide pc
lily is not based on birth, or race,
or country-for it recognises no coun-
try but Dar-ul Islam ("the Home of
Islam")-but on a religious profess
sion. Wherever Islam reigns, there
the Moslem is at home and a citizen.
Wherever Islam is not supreme he
is a foreigner-a sojourner in Oar
ul-I{arb ["the Home ofthe Enemy"1
And the chronic relation of Dar-ul-
Islam to Dar-ul-Harb is a relation of
undying war, till the inhabitants of
Dar-ul-Harb are exterminated or
made tributaries.
Here lies the secret Of the power
of Islam. It abolishes caste and all
social and hereditary distinctions.
Within the polity of Islam all Mos
lens are equal but, in relation to
the rest Of mankind they are an arts
tocratic brotherhood. 1t is easy to
understand the fascination of such a
creed for the oppressed and down
trodden everywhere. And nowhere
could this fascination have been so
attractive as in India, where the
teeming population was divided into
castles, separated from each other by
impossible CULTS. On all these castles
the Moslems looked down with con-
tempt. Being all outside the pale of
Islam, they we're all in his eyes
equally degraded. The high-casto
Brahmin and the lOw-caste Pariah
were on a level outside Islam, and
became equal inside it. The high
caste Brahmin had thus, perhaps, no
very great inducement to become a
Moslem ,but the low-caste Hindoo
had the strongest inducements that
can appeal to human nature. The
ragged beggar Of yesterday became
by the ~initiatory rite of Islam, the
social equal of the Great Mogul, and
socially entitled, if qualified on other
grounds, to claim the hand of his
daughter in marriage. No wonder
the converts to Islam, III a world whore
the masses were egraded and Cypress
ed, were numerous, even without the
argument of the sword. All the same,
however, Islam bears within its bosom
the germ of inevitable decay. This is,
of course, obvious whenever it rules
over a non-Mussulman population.
1t cannot possibly govern that popu-
la,ion Justly. 1t cannot give it
equality before the law. 1t cannot
asslmilate it, or be itself assimilated.
There is a wall of eternal separation
between the two populations. A
Mussulman Government ruling over
a non Mussulman population is thus
always of necessity 10 the cruel dl-
lemma described by Livy,-it "can
neither endure its vices nor their re-
medies." 1t is obliged, by an un-
changeable constitution, to lefuse the
simple necessaries of political lie,
and it's choice lies between atrophy

lation of husbandmen was toiling,
barebacked in the heat of summer
and in the rain of autumn, in order
that a few families in each district
might lead lives Of luxurious ease"
The administration Of justice was
equally intolerable. From the mufti
to the jailer was n fostering mass Of
corruption. MussuIman %jaiIers," says
DR.. Hunter, ''took brides from or
starved at their discretion the whole
prison population Of Bengal; and the
Mussulman ~jailers were merely imi
tating, at the bottom Of the official
hierarchy, the conduct Of all grades
Of theiE superiors up to the top.
This is an epitome Of Mussulman
rule in India, and everywhere and
it was impossible for any Govern
ment claiming to be civilized to con
tinue such q system, after its incura-
BILE vices had been exposed. The
truth is that Islam is a militant theo-
cracy, and when it ceases to conquer
it necessarily begins to decay, though
it does not cease to obtain converts.
Progress is the law of all human poll
tics, and a polity which refuses to
reform must begin to die, as soon
as it ceases to advance by ply
steal force. But Islam is believed
by every Mussulman to be the last
revelation of the Divine VIII to man,
which is but another way of saying
that Islam is absolutely and eternal
ly irreformable and Interchangeable.
Herein lie both It's strength and its
weakness. It's strength is due to the
consciousness Of every MussuIman
that he is a member of a vast theO-
cratic, and at the same time democra-
tic, brotherhood. 1t is theocratic,
because it is believed to be a polity
founded Immediately by God himself,
who is always its supreme chief. 1t
is democratic, because its constituent
members are all equal. Properly
speaking, there is no such thing as a
MussuIman State or a Mussulman ma
tionality. The Mussulman of Kurdis-
tan is the brother of the Mussulman of
Bosnia; the Mussulman Of Crete is
the brother of the Mussulman Of
Egypt. But the bond Of brotherhood
is not a common nationality or race
for in these they are as different
and antipathetic as any races can
possibly be-but a common faith.
For the sake of convenience, we may
talk of the Government of Turkey,
the Government Of Afghanistan, the
Government of Morocco, just as we
may talk of the Church Of France,
the Church of Austria, the Church of
Spain. But just as there is, in reality,
one Papal Church in the world, the
local branches of which are bound in
n polity by a common code of
fundamental and Interchangeable dog
mas so there is only one Mussulmau
Power in the world, and what we
call Mussulman States are only
branches of a cosmopolitan theocra-
cy, and are all bound together by n
common code of civil and religious
rules and dogmas which are essen
TALLY Interchangeable. Mahommedan-
ism is thus a vast militant Pa

Make Them Fire.pr0Of.

The scarcity Of lumber which is now
beginning to be experienced in this
country will have the good effect Of
causing the erection of less infiammable
houses than those we now build. The
fearful losses by fire which this country
daily experiences, one would think,
would ere this have caused all great
buildings to lie constructed of fire-proof
materials. 1t is question whether the
law should not require such manner Of
building tall factories and business
places in the crowded streets Of towns.
A feeble effort in this direction is made
when the outer walls are required to be
of brick but the same policy which
dictates this order would warrant the
further requirement of fre-proOf mate
rials throughout the structure. 1t is not
done because of the expense of such an
erection but this consideration
hardly sutiices to excuse the building of
inliammabie structures for business pur-
poses that threaten the destruction of
life and of contiguous property. A
business that will not bear the cost of a
safe building for its purposes is not one
that need be fOstered at any great risk
to the community.

A Baltimore ENTERPRISE.

Baltimore would like to have the
United States build 4 ship canal across
the iSthmus between the Chesapeake
and Delaware bays, to the end that
her shipping may have i speedier exit
to the northern parts of the Allan
tic ocean than it gets by way of the
mouth of the Chesapeake. 1t would suit
Baltimorc's interests eXcellently well to
have waterway opened to her across
the peninsula to the Delaware break
water. but it is not 50 clear that the rest
of the United States is so mach inter
ested in the project as to be called on to
pay its cost There is already a very good
ship canal between the Chesapeake
and the Delaware, built over fifty years
ago ut a cost Of over two million dollars,
across the narI Owest part of the isthmuS.
1t lies too far to the north to make L
short line from Baltimore to the sea, but
it is better for tine general purpose of
connecting the waters of the two bays
than the longer route 10y the Choptank
that is now projected, being very direct
i'm its line and but about thirteen mile
in length We really think that Ba,ti
more and Maryland had better look to
their own resources for their new canal.
If they want it very much they are able
to build it,

On Saturday evening Hyde & Behman's
fourth speciality company, which is headed
by Kelly Il Ryan, appeared in the opera
house, and notwithstanding the fact that
the last troupe which was here under this
management was bad, the audience was
very large. The show WAS excellent
throughout. 1t opened with Frank Ben
nett anu Miss Lida Gardner's sketch, ent-
tied the Kitchen DOmestics," which is
always popular and well acted by these al
fists; Kelly & Ryan, ''the Bards of Tara"
appeared in their great specialties, and
there probably is no better pair of Irish
comedians in this country. Both ale ex-
cellent dancers and singers and are brimful
Of wit. The Olympia Quartet, COM
Mack, is one Of the finest that has ever
been here. Their songs were rendered in
old darkey style, and are very good, each
member of the quartet having an excel
lent voice. Morris & Fields arc Dutch
comedians who never fail to make a hit
wherever they go, and they certainly made
an immense one here on Saturday night.
The Hogan Brothers arc new faces here,
their act is something like Lamont and
DucrOw's, they are good dancers and
singers and can turn themselves into all
shapes. The Bordeaux Sisters are pretty
pair of girls who appeared in neat songs
and dances. Annie Boyd's serio-comic-
songs were we'll rendered and her style
was good.
The performance concluded with the
comedy written by John T. Kelly entitled
"Muldoon's Blunders," which gave Kelly
and Ryan an excellent opportunity to
show themselves. Mr.. Kelly appeared as
Mchael .Nuld0on in a makeup Ia Oscar
Wilde. The whole company were seen in
the piece, which is as funny as "Mul-
doon's Picnic" The entire comI any is
good, and as long as Hyde & Behman
run people as strong as those in this Or
ganization they may be sure of big houses
here. The party left for Baltimore this
afternoon, where they open at the Monu
mental theatre tonight.

\ thinly populated locality, about five

Saturday night of daring robbery.
About three hundred yards from the house
in which, on the night of July 4 last,
colored woman was murdered, it is sup
posed, by her husband, resides Michael
Ulrich and wife. The house of these peo.
pie, who were the only occupants, was en-
tered last evening by tive masked men, all
armed with revOlvers. Mr.. and Mrs. u
rich, both of whom are old, were threaten
ed with death if they refused to tell where
they had their money sscretcd, and, after
the masked robbers had made careful
examination of the clothing of tho helpless
inmates and the house, they were escorted
to 4 more prctentiOus residence, where
the aged people lived in summer, AMI in
which they kept their loose money. III
this house the masked men secured about
one thousand dollars, compelling the Cl-
richs by threats of shooting to tell them
were the money was kept. Great efforts
are being made to capture the robbers.

Mayor MacGonigle did not use the lau-

In short, the circular is Il shameless lie.
1t is prepared and circulated for a base

1t is too late for it's purpose. 1t shows

HevHit in Il Female Prison.

\ revolt among nearly three hundred
female prisoners took place in the prison,
some distance ont Of Montreal, on Satur-
day afternoon, which was only suppressed
after 4 vigorous fight by 4 posse of police
from the central station. The Jail where
these Amazons arc confined is presided
over by nuns, with only three guards in
attendance. OF late the police authorities
have been raiding the disreputable houses,
and the women have been sent to Jail fer
six months. This has overcrowded the
Jail tc such an extent that all discipline
has been i'll allegiance for some time. On
the arrival of tho police they found the
nuns locked mp in their rooms, from which.
they did not emerge until the row wai
quelled. The prisoners broke the furni
nitulc and defended themselves like Spar
tans against the officers. The policemen
were severely handled and some were dan
gerously wounded. Constables Desjar-
dlns, Bazinet and Naegle are reparted to
be i'll 4 critical condition.
