NO MORE CLEVELAND MEN.
Caffery the ,5.ny -uolater-A Bid
for 1900.

The speech OF eXPresident Cleveland at
the New York Reform Club Saturday night
furnishes a topic for discussion at the Cap
itol, but arouses no great interest. There
is no longer Cleveland party in Congress
There is only one person in either branch
who can be called a Cleveland man. That
is Donelson Caffery, of Louisiana The
idolatrous Cleveland element is wholly OBJ
liberated. Senator Gray of Delaware, and
Senator Lindsay are now closely coop
Grating with their colleagues OF the regular
Democracy. In the House thereis not one
Representative so poor as to do the three
times candidate reverence.
Even the Republicans have lost the fear
they used to have Of the ex-PresideDt.
They generally take his speech to mean
that Nj Cleveland will be a candidate in
1900
''Of course, he will be-" said Senator
Burrows to The Times, land he will get
the Democratic nomination, too; but we
shall beat him.
Among some Of the veteran Democratic
members Of the Senate the belief is eX-
pressed that Cleveland will try to be the
candidate OF a small faction Of dissident
Democrats and mugwump Republicans in
1900.
IT is quite immaterial." said one of
them. HE will get less votes than Martin
Van Buren, got when he ran in 1913, and
cut an altogether ridiculous figure in the
total vote of the country. Do YOU know,
have been told that he wasvery much an
noyed at his satellites for not nominating
him last fall, and l believe him TO be vain
enough to think he could not possibly
have been defeated; that the people could
not have found it in their hearts to reject
such an illustrious patriot.
Some Of the silver Republicans from the
Western States say that the ex-President

The series of lectures delivered in the spring
Of this year to the students of the Union Theolo-
gical Seminary by the Rev. HENRY PRESERVED
SMITH, d. D., have been published in book form
under the name Of The Bible and Islam Serb
ncrsl. The authors purpose is to trace the in
iuence of the Old and New Testaments on the
religion of N ohammed. To what extent did the
founder of Islam derive from the Bible his views
of God and of divine government, of revela-
ton and prophecy. Of sin and salvation. of
the proper service to be rendered to God.
Of the future life and of the relations between
Church and STATED These questions are an.
swered consecutively. after some preliminary
chapters, which contain a biographical sketch
OF Mohammcd. set forth the commo basis of
Judaism and Islam and discuss the character of
the Koran narratives. No one can read this
book without being impressed with the extent
Of the authors researches and the accuracy OF
his scholarship. We purpose to exemplify the
high quality of the work by noting what DR..
Smith has to say about the ethical teachings OF
Mohammed. about his views of a future life and
about the fusion of Church and State.

power OF tho Ottoman Empire was annihilated

In n chapter allotted to the war Of 1s4s-50, be-
tween the Danes and the German confederation,
Major Callwell draws attention to the similarity
OF Denmark, as 1t was then. to Greece, consid-
cred as u theatre OF war. Both countries arc
peninsulas; both have an enormous extent Of
coast line; both include an archipelago Tho
Danish army was small, compared with tho mill
tary forces of tho German Confederation. On
the other hand. Denmark possessed a navy which
was almost perfect in its way, to which tho
Germans had nothing to oppose. Maritime COM
mand was never in dispute. The Prussian
coasts were insulted by tho Danish vessels with
impunity, and the course OF the land operations
proved that, in certain theatres OF war, su-
premscy Mt sea will go far TO counteract the
effects of military weakness. The Danes
came through the fory ordeal Of combat
against the powerful Gernanio Confederacy
almost unscathed. Modern history affords
scarcely q parallel instance ofnn ostensibly weak
State beating Off the onset of q great military
power In two successive compaigns. But, al
though It may seem to detract from the credit
due to Denmark for the rcsoluto and successful
defence Of its rights, the fact cannot be gainsaid
that, owing to Its IN Of the sea, the little
kingdom was, in reality, a formidable antagonist
to Prussia and her satellites. Maritime suprem-
acy compensated for deficiency Of military re-
sources. Every conspicuous triumph Of the
Danes is traceable to the liberty of action which
the dominion OF the Belts and of the Pomcranian
Baltic gave them. Tho geographical features
OF the scene Of war favored amphibious warfare.
In a later chapter, to which we shall not other
wise refer, the author OF this book shows how tho
conditions changed when the question of the
command Of tho sea was in dispute. A COM
parison, indeed. OF the two wars about Schles-
wig-Holstein demonstrates to how large an eS-
tent the Danes owed their success in the first
contest to their naval supremacy.

desccnts upon the German coasts seems TO
have rocoiied upon the belligerent enjoying
maritime command. On the other hand. there
is no doubt that tho sea power of the
French greatly benefited them In the
Mediterranean. In time Of peace, Algeria
and Rome absorbed thousands OF men. Had
maritime been In dispute In southern
waters, the armies vainly striving to stem the
torrent OF invasion could not have counted upon
help from Italy and Africa. As 1t was. tho trans
ports from Civlta Vecchia and the Barbary
ports. safe from hostile cruisers, brought sea-
soned soldiers to swell the columns of tho
French. Troops from AlRiers fought at worth.
A brigade from Rome helped to mako up the
