this little dig. "And I've pledged my

nearly sent him head foremost into the

fairly beaming with delight

"Purcisely," answered Jack Bell; "the

A sharp wind swept over Narragan-

a great British fleet that lay off Block

fiercely against the rocky shores upon

said she had at one time been con-

against it. But these are all of little

which she heartily endorses, that the

lieves that the result of granting suf-

Of certain crying evils of the day. She
favored certain moral and intellectual

question as she has never seen any

Stanton and Susan B. Anthony and
had never doubted the integrity of the
principles they upheld. She had noted
with pleasure the general renewal of
interest and hoped it would prove the
beginning of desirable end, unlimited

clans were hoping that with the help of
the women they would be able to de-

To my thinking, the Pays de Caux

MULEY HASSAN AND THE JEWS.
He Presented to Them Only the Benevo-

He Presented to Them Only the Benevo-
lent Side of His Character.
The Jewish subjects of Muley Has
san will sincerely lament his sudden
death. Nothing, 1t is true, could be
much worse to our ideas than the con
dition of the Jews under the late sui
tan, but a lower depth may yet
open in the deep. Muley Hassan pre-
sented to the Jews only the benevolent
side Of his character. He showed no
countenance to the oppressors of the
Jews, says the London Jewish Chroni-
icle, and when well authenticated
abuses were brought under his notice
he did something to remove them.
About a year ago an occasion arose
when Muley Hassan displayed at once
his genuine love of justice and his ORR
entail dislike Of foreign interference
The governor of Morocco citadel had
displayed more than usual vigor in ap-
plying the bastinado to the Jews. The
latter applied for redress to the minis
tiers of foreign powers at Tangier. The
sultan resented this appeal, but rene
died the abuse. Conduct myself"
wrote Muley Hassan to his over-ener-
getic officer in Morocco, towards the
Jews in the same way as thou actest
toward Mohammedans under thy adj
ministration: in civil affairs do justice
to them, and in religious matters leave
absolutely to their rabbis the task of
deciding Them This friendly DISPOSE
ton was more than shared by the Jews
of Morocco. They had an almost ex-
aggerated fondness for Muley Hassan,
forgetting that while his active good
will was but spasmodic the cruelties
and oppressive eXactions of his depu-
ties were constant and never-failing
factor in the life of the Jews of his do
miniop. 1t may be that the death of
Muley Hassan may urge forward that
growth of self-consciousness which
has always preceded progress in Juda-
ism. The Jews of Morocco should not
let the opportunity slip. Let them seek
equality before the law. If that were
once granted to them they would show
themselves unworthy of the great race
of justice lovers to which they belong
were they to allow their rights to be
snatched from them by the small fry
If local oppressors.

OUR MILITARY RESOURCES.
No Other Nation Can Muster So Largo ar
Army as Uncle Sam.

Army as Uncle Sam.
The United States has been said to
be warlike nation without being a
military nation. Its war potentialities
are vast indeed, says the Boston Jour
nal 1t showed that thirty years ago,
when with only little more than half
its present population it mustered more
than 100000 men under arms in the
union and confederate forces. There
is now in America the enormous total
of 100000 men of military age eligi-
bic for military service. No civilized
country in the world could place such
q gigantic host of men in the field in an
emergency.
Of course, the actual number of or
ganizcd, drilled and uniformed citizen
soldiers is only q small fraction of this,
but the real available military strength
of the United States is only inadequate
ly appreciated by the average Amcri-
can. The military spirit which the
civil war cngendered has not died out
among the American youth. On the
contrary, it has amply held its own, if
it has not increased. Never before
states so strong in numbers, so we'll
armed, SO exccllently disciplined.
There are liz. 100 of these volunteers
in all, representing infantry, cavalry
and artillery. Their efficiency widely
varies, being high as u rule, in the old,
rich, and populous states, and less sat
isfactory in the newer and sparsely-
settled communities.
New York 'heads the list in numbers
with a well-equipped force of 1880
officers and men-as large as fighting
army corps of the rebellion. Pennsyl-
vania has force of s,614, whose mettle
was tried two years ago at Homestead;
Ohio has 1925 and Massachusetts, 5000.
AS it happens, the states in which the
present strike centers are well pre-
pared for such an emergency. Illinois
militia body musters Att men; Indi-
ana's, 1858; Iowas, 2,351; Missouri's,
2,415, and Michigan's, 2,sO1. Illinois is
particularly fortunate in the character
of its fine city regiments.
The entire organized militia of the
United States is subject to the orders
of the president and can be moved and
concentrated wherever occasion for it's
presence arises When to this great
army of 100000 men are added the 3d.
900 regulars and the 1000 or 5000 blue
jackets and marines of the warships on
the home station it is obvious that
there is something more than the po-
liceman's club between the American
people and anarchy.
