A HOLY WAR.
What that Means in the Present Cri-
sis-UnfurIing the Holy Flag ana
Preaching the Jehad.

Mahomet was the first to make a
ghazu (rald) on a large scale, and the
first to preach to his Arab compatrlots
the duty of jehad-that is, of "mutual
strenuous effort" for the attainment OF
their common aim. The prophet,
knowing that the tribes never could be-
come a power while they wasted their
energies in internecine warfare, and at
the same time that they could not be
united under any master, sought TO
bring about national unity by binding
them by that common religious feel
ing" which really meant, as it so often
does, common interests, customs, and
superstitions. At Mecca where all the
elements of centralization--the Kaabah,
containing all the gods of the different
tribes and the locale of all the fairs
and gatherings at which the historical
and religious traditions of the race
were circulated and kept alive. The
Persian empire was weak and the Ro-
man empire was declining and their
dominions bordering upon Arabia fell
an easy prey to the bands now for the
first time acting in concert. THE long
series of conquests that followed the
quick succession were" says the writer
already alluded to, "of course attribut-
ed to the potency of the profession OF
faith which formed their battle cry,
and their religious enthusiasm grew
stronger with each triumph. The Arabs
had at last found tie all-powerful name
OF which the children of Shem have
ever dreamed, the name by means OF
which Solomon controlled the demons
and the elements, was waited through
the air on his magic carpet, or sealed
up the refractory genie in bottle at
the bottom of the sea. Henceforward
the conquered infdels were offered but
one alternative-to acknowledge the
name of Allah and his prophet, or to
perish by the sword; while the formu-
la. "In the name of Allah, the meIci-
full, the com assionate," was ever after
placed at the head of every Moslem
writing. Since then the jehad has
usually local declaration in time o.
extremity of war to the knife, as when

ner against the Russians was attended
by fearful outrages upon the Christian
| populations. The Wahabee reviva
early in the present century was, how
ever, a iehad pure and simple. the
fiery fanatics not only attacking Chris
tians, but driving out the Turks anc
sacking the holy city because of theii
PROCLAMATION by foreign rites. This re
vival was only successful, it should be
noticed, SO far as it appealed to Arat
peoples. During the war with Russls

the holy flag, but without the looked fol
effect.

THE POSSIBILITY OF A HOLY WAR

being preached has been discussed re-
peatedly of late years. 1t Is held that
in India the influence of Islam has
never been much more than superb
cial, and that at the present time an
Indian Moslem, in his observance and
tenets. is but Hindoo in foreign
dress. With scarcely an exception the
ulemas, when appealed to decide wheth-
err or not India was dar III hard-an
enemy's country-pronounced tetvas;
in the negative, an opinion confirmed
later by the assembly of Meccan doc
tors, who disposed of the subject once
for all. At the same time 1t Is pointed
out that the Arabs who migrated to
Africa and set up the rival caliphate IN
Spain were not subject to the same eX-
traneous influences as those under the
caliphate Of Bagdad, having mixed
but little with the natives, and having
preserved to the present day their Arab
customs, traditions and genealogles.
"The same elements of Arab religious
fanaticism, :" said the writer in the Times,
combined with Arab clan feeling, ex-
ist there as in the Hejar or Yemen,
and should some powerful Moslem
saint and chief and there are many
such in Morocco, Tunis and Algiers-

anv such moderate counsels would pre-

danger in India. 1t might not be

quote the current jargon of the day,

ment. which would give rise to mex
pressible horrors of war and bloodshed
in Western Africa itself, and it would
attract sufficient sympathy in other
Mahometan countries to prove a serl-
Gus danger to the peace"
The 'unfurling of the green flag" is
form frequently used, probably be-
cause the flag in question is not green
and cannot be unfurled. 1t would be
refreshing, indeed, to find any two au-
thorities quite agreed upon the subject
of this banner. Mahomets earliest
standard ives the white turban which
he captured from Boreide, and he
adopted subsequently, the black cur
tain which hung before the door of his
wife, Ayesha, which passed to Omar,
the Abassides, Selim J., and finally to
Amurath Ill, who took it to Europe.
This "black eagle" which is inscribed
with the words "Nasrum min Allah

PROGRESS OF EDUCATION.

Never before has there been such a
desire on the part of the middle and
lower classes of the people, Moslem
and Christian, for education as during
the past two years. This may be ac-
counted for in two ways-frst, the APP
probation of the education offered in
the schools; second, the better condi-
ton of the people resulting from i'm
proved government. As soon as the
reforms introduced by Tewfik's govern
ment and the Anglo. French control
began to bear fruit, the fellah was sur
prised to find himself relieved from
the exactions and extortlons of the tax
collector. He had taxes, and heavy
taxes to pay still; but he knew
exactly their amount and when
they would be due, and he
could make arrangements accordingly.
He soon understood that there was
no evasion of the amount assessed, but
also felt that what remained of his IN
come was his own, and would not be
bounced upon by some mudir and
wrested from him. A great impulse
was given by this feeling of security to
the work Of internal improvement.
Land Immediately began to exchange
hands and at prices which are double
the former nominal value. DIR. Thomp
son, in his Photographic Views Of
Egypt" mentions the land as being as
high as $40 to $50 per acre. At the be-
ginning of the current year, before the
present anarchy, no good land could be
bought north of Assouan for 800 per
acre. Land owners during the past
two years have been improving their
property. A few years ago respectable

CURED on the st. Paul, Minneapolis &

between Darwin and Daniel Cunning
hams freights, bound west, which got
started on the grade near mile post seven
ty, and was run into by Smiths train,
Floody engineer, which was following
close behind, wrecking the caboose and
two cars and dismantling Floody's loco
motive. AT the place of the collision
there is a sharp curve just on the
grade and as the stalled train had not
taken the plecaution to flag Smiths train,
which was climbing the grade al high
rate of speed, it was impossible to avert
the disaster. Luckily the danger was
seen in time and the employees on both
trains scattered before the crash came,
and no one was injured. The Delano
work train was detailed to clear away the
wreck and was soon followed by a wreck
ing train from St: Paul. The morning
passenger was delayed nine hours.
