CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-In the Peck estate case
the American sunday School union and tho
board OF home missions OF the Presbyterian
church yesterday filed answers. These answers
call in question the claim OF George l.. Peck, jr.,
to a share in the estate OF Phiander and Clarisss
Peck, and allege that the claimant Is not tho
lawful heir OF George T.. Peck. ST., through whom
the Inheritance descends. George r.. Peck, jr.,
recently filed bill to recover the original share
allotted his father and in 1t charges COLLISION
between the other heirs and his grandmother,
Clarissa Peck, TO prevent him from securing
his Inheritance. 1t is claimed that George Il
Peck, ST., was a drunkard and that his mother,
Clarissa, secured transfer by fraudulent cons
yeyance of his share in his fathers estate TO her.
Henry and Albert Keep, executors OF the estate,
are charged with fraud in attempting TO deprive
young George OF his rights. Clarissa Peck des
vised a considerable share of her property, vai-
ued at 50 100000, to the Presbyterian church
mission and other religious bodies.

advantage of the interval of two years be-
tween sessions is that ample tune S afforded
to show how new laws operate and wherein
they should be corrected; 30 that changes
can be made intelhgently and with certainty
that they will not be for the worse. The
general legislation Of this legislature has not
been very abundant or very important
Some new institutions have been estab-
lished, the most notable among them being
the agricultural experiment station and the
State Board of Health, and some of the
laws, notably the liquor law, have been
amended. There has been however, large
number of private or special acts, more or
less affecting public interests, passed The
session is quite as remarkable for the meas
ures that failed as for those that became
laws. The ten hour law was passed by the
House, but failed in the Senate. Early in
the session an effort was expected to change
the divorce law and to abolish capital pun
ishment, but it was not made in either case.
The liveliest contest of the session was that
in regard to the petition of the Lake Megan-
tic Railroad Company to bridge Moosehead
Lake which was finally settled by compro-
mise. The appropriations have been some
what larger than two years ago, but it is
hard to see how they could have been much
reduced. The principal one of the extraor-
binary expenditures was the appropriation
of $4,000 for the Grand Army reunion.
But we believe the great majority of the
people OF the State favored it, and would
have been disappointed if it had failed.

That Central Africa is to-day the seat of
struggle between civilization and barbarism
there can he no question. But the idea en-
tertained by British journals thas the Sou
dan war can be justified on the ground that
ultimate victory will check, if not completely
stop, "the extraordinary revival of martial
and aggressive Mohammedanism'' that
stands ready with its old offer of conversion,
subversion or the sword, is delusion, not
10 say grotesque absurdity. The Mussul-
man bugbear seems to be growing to more
extensive proportions in England than in
those countries that would seem to be
Immediately threatened. 1t is indeed a
fact the number Of followers of Islam has
been steadily growing for many centuries.
but not since the days of Mohammed him
self has Christian community been con-
yerted to Mohammedism. For such relig-
ion to make its way northward in the trail
OF civilization has been found to be impossi-
bic. Its conversions among the barbarous
Arab tribes of Central Africa, and its swal-
lowing up of certain Indian tribes in theEast
are all that can be truly said to constitute
thu Extraordinary revivap' of Mohamme
dism. A religion with such record may be
called aggressive, but not progressive; and
when creed ceases to be progsessieve it
may be called practically dead. If it has be-
come necessary for English statesmen and
English journals to make an apology to the
British public for maintaining a war in
Egypt at 80 great srcriice, they can find
far better excuse than the so-called general
uprising OF Mohammedism. The day is very
far distant when Europe will be In danger Of
being swept by MussuIman fanaticism.
