In this estimate the adherents OF other
religions are left out, and also the popular
tion Of the tributary States Turkey Is the
only Mohammedan power in which Chris
tianity counts for much.
OF the semi-civilized Mohammedan coun-
tries of North Africa, Egypt is under Brit
ish control; Algeria is under the Govern
ment OF France; Tripoli Is Turkish
dependency, and only Morocco retains its
Independence under the absolute despotism
Of its own Sultan, who rules but very
small number of Christians, perhaps not
more than 1 900 or 1900. Farther south
in Africa, there are petty rulers Of the
Mohammedan faith and Arab race; but
they are disappearing with the extension Of
European influence over Africa
In Asia the most important independent
country under Mohammedan government
is Persia; and there are probably not over
&C, 900 HISTORIAN and Armenian Christians
among its population of 9,000, 900. Afghan
istan, to the eastward of Persia, has q Mo-
hammedan government, and there are few
enough Christians in that country, though
Christianity Is tolerated there. In those
vast and populous regions of India which
are under British rule or guardianship
there are Mohammedan princes and other
dignitaries, all of them necessarily regard
full OF the Christian power by which they
are overshadowed.
In truth, we think Of Turkey alone when
we think Of a Mohammedan Government
that exercises authority over any large body
Of Christians. And assuredly that authority
Is exercised most unjustly and shamefully,
to the dishonor Of Mohammedanism and Of
the Prophet MoHAMMED.
1t is an estimate OF NJ. FouRNIEB DE
FLAX that there are in the world about
177,000, 900 Mohammedans and not less
than 477, 900, 900 Christians.

The thought Of q horse-meat dinner must
certainly be disagreeable to the people who are
unused to that article OF diet. We are aware
that the meat is consumed, TO some extent, in
France. Belgium, Germany. and Russia, but it
has never, until very recently. been used as
food by anybody of the white race in the United
States. II is inferior to beef, mutton. and pork,
and IL is far less acceptable TO the taste than
the meat OF these animals. 1t can be sold
cheaper than the other meats because few
people are willing TO consume II, and because
the horses taken to the slaughter house have
already earned their price by working In har-
meas; but We suppose its cost would be in
creased IL there were much of demand for IL
or IL the horses slaughtered for human food
were Of the best kind.
There is no need Of eating horses In the United
States. There Is an abundance Of better kinds
Of meat. and they can be purchased at prices
that bring them within the reach Of every in
dustrious person. II is not hers as II |, In those
countries Of Europe. where many poor people
are unable to buy even the cheapest Of meats,
and are glad to get anything that is eatable.
Horse flesh is an abomination. The sale of IL
in the markets of this city. ought to be prohib-
tied quickly.

Trolley horsors are altogether too numer-
ous especially in Brooklyn. 1t is for the man.
ayers to devise some means for the reduction OF
the casualties or for the public authorities TO
stop the reckless running Of the cars. The
motormen and conductors may sometimes be 10
blame for csrelessness, but, ss . rule, they do
the best they can 10 avoid accidents, with the
means at their command.
As . matter Of fact, the means are insufficient.
The warning signals are defective. The occa-
sionsl twsng Of the gong Is not enough. espe-
cially for cars that glide along almost noise
lessly. A lesson might be learned from the
sound OF the little bells and the noise of
the horses hoofs that gave warning Of the
approach Of the old-time street car. With
a little ingenuity bells Of the same description
might be fred on both trolleys and cable cars 90
that they would ring continuously while the
car is In motion, while the gong might also be
used In cases Of danger or when wagons appear
on the track. But this is a mere suggestion,
which can be taken for what II is worth. Some
thing must be done, and the sooner It Is done
the better.

Why, ~ would be ruinous for any politician
Of to-day TO wear such garments as Mr.
WEBSTER usually wore when he was Sec
retary Of State.
The clothes Of the American people bave
been getting palmer and duller, right
straight along, for over a hundred years.
Look at the costumes Of wAsHrNGToN,
ADAMS, and the other great men after peace
had been won through the Revolution. Look
at the rich and gay dress which was worn by
men who could afford IL when our own inn
mediate sires trod the land. Then look at
the black and white dress Of fashion in the
banquet hall in this unpicturesque and
clustering age.
It is lovely woman alone who dares to
make display Of colors, frills, flowers,
feathers, fringes, spangles, jewelrv, and
ornaments at this dismal time OF the
withering nineteenth century.
In the twentieth century We shall surely

Of ten or more by those powerful naval vessels
which China has procured within recent years.

The japanese have proved to all mankind that
the Chinese have not had either an army or q
navy worth talking about. The Japanese have
chased their fighting men from every field, and
have sunk their fighting ships and junks wher-
ever found, and have torn down their dragon
nags, and have beaten them in the Chinese
arts Of diplomacy. and bave frightened their
Hwangti from his queue TO his heels.
We must say that, II We had been put In fear
Of the enraged Chinese hordes last year. IL

The Minnesota Democratic Association
has spoken, and In trumpet tones, Of course.
Perhaps IL was time for It TO speak. The
world might have forgotten that there were
any Democrats left in Minnesota, State
we'll supplied with Republicans and Popu-
lists. We are far from sure as to what the
Minnesota Democratic Association is, but
what 10 il Is Of little importance compared
with what IL says. It has conversed good
deal in the past, and Is still in fine voice.
We must declare, openly and boldly" It
says, "for free trade, under which no i'm
port will be taxed except its like Is taxed for
internal revenue Wemust take up the work
Of education again. We taught the people
that protection IL wrong. We must teach
them that free trade Is right" So IL the
Minnesota Democratic Association has its
way, there viii be another campaign Of edu-
cation. Il must be confessed that the last one
was singularly unfortunate. The educators
were not properly educated themselves.
There IL something chivalrous and ro-
mantle about the Minnesota Democratic
Association. We don't believe the report
that the association meets in hat-shaped
tower. It must be composed Of courageous
thinkers who think at regular intervals.
There Is an impression that the returns
from the elections last month showed
very strong and continuous prejudice
among the American people in favor Of pro-
lection. The Minnesota Democratic Asso-
citation Is going to remove this prejudice
and tell the people what to think.
