A CRUMB OF COMFORT,

The people who buy coal need little
cheering up. and SO it Is pleasantly an
nounced that J. Pierpont Morgans new
deal does not presage boost in the
price of coal. The talk is that while
undoubtedly Mr.. Morgan is at the pres
ent time in a position to do anything
he chooses with the price of coal, it is
almost equally certain that he will
make no change at present, for two
reasons. First, the situation is prac-
tically the same, with regard to Mr..
Morgan's power, as it was before he
obtained a majority Of the stock of
the Central Railroad Of New Jersey.
And second: The competition from gas
and other combustible products Is so
great that the present price of $3.50 a
ton for anthracite coal cannot very
we'll be advanced without driving away
the buyers.
This isn't exactly convincing, but it
will be good enough Morgan until
something happens to make a rise In
the price of coal necessary" Mean
while there doesn't seem to be much to
do except to sit around and watch the
wonders.

kenazim, and will be no more found in
Afghanistan than in America. But it is
quite impossible that an Arab tribe, ex-
PEELED by some internal commotion,
wandered east from Arabia and settled
as conquerors in Afghanistan? They
may have carried with them families of
Jewish Arabs, such as Mahomet de-
clared war on, and have crossed their
blood with some half Persian, half-ab-
original tribe. That Is what Afghans
look like, their best families retaining,
moreover, even deeper trace of the
conquering blood.

JEWS AND MAHOMETANS.

| The Curious federation Extended to
the Former in Most Moslem Coun-
tries.
1t is very difficult, al least to observ-
ers who are outside their community. to
understand the precise relation between
Jews and Mahometans. Though the
latter in some places persecute them
horribly, as, for instance in Morocco.
where the life Of Jew, unless he is
protected by a European counsel, is
hardly of more value than that of an
animal, they are, we imagine, held to be
nearer the ruling caste of Mussulman
countries, more like kinsfolk, than they
are held in any Christian country, ex-
cept, perhaps, England where the dis
tinction of creed and race is very often
forgotten. This is due, we imagine,
first Of all, to the fact that the Mussul-
man races which have borne rule have
always been Asatics, and have recog-
nized in Jews that comfy of Asia which
is at least as strong as the bond which
when men of other colors assail them,
binds the white peoples together for de-
fence. A Jew and an Armenian are
safe In many Asiatic bazaaTs where q
European, If recognized as SUCH would
owe his life to some personal or politi-
cal protection. 1t was this comfy per-
haps, rather than traditional history,
which induced the Persian monarchs
through so many ages to recognize the
descendants of David as Princes Of the
captivity, and leave to them a delegat-
ed authority as of princes over their
own people.
There is something more, however,
in the relation of Jews to Mahometans,
who, though regarding them as infidels
still find it easier to form relations with
them than with Europeans. Mahomet
himself, we fancy, never quite knew
whether he thought Of them as sac

THE GREAT MODERN M4GTCTdN
Talk about Aladdin and his wonderful
lamp! What We're their performances
compared with the magic of j. Pier
pont Morgan? He steps out on the
stage every day or two now and gives
exhibitions such as have never been
seen before on this round earth He
losses about the millions, yea, the hun
dreds of millions, as easily and as
skillfully as the iugglers toss their sill
yer or golden balls And if there are
not millions enough for him to do his
act with he makes a little incarnation
and presently the needed millions APP
pear ready for him to play with.
Verify it is an astonishing perform
ance, so astonishing that the spectators
are dazed and mystified. 1t is lucky for
Mr.. Morgan that he lives In these times,
when people don't really believe some
of the things about the devil that they
used to believe. Nobody will accuse
him now of having sold his soul for a
great price, and he will not be accused
of being witch. But he beats all the
sorcerers, the alchemists and the
witches that ever lived. Watch for the
next performance.

The Mormons have long claimed for
their organ in the Tabernacle in Salt
Lake City superiority over all other
organs in the country, partly because
of it's power, and partly because of it's
situation in a building of exceptional
acoustic properties With improve
ments in the instrument now decided
upon, and to cost $4,000, they think
that their claim cannot be disputed
The improvements planned call for the
remodelling of the instrument general
ly, the trebling of its present power,
and the addition of over 1000 pipes to-
the present large number of 2,949, Nor
mon pride in the Tabernacle and the
organ conquered opposition to the plan
for this large expenditure at a time
when 1t was hoped to free the Mormon
Church Of debt.

A setback has been given the beet
sugar industry of Minnesota by Attor-
ney-General Douglass decision that the
beet-sugar bounty law of 1895 is in
valid, following the refusal Of the State
auditor to issue a warrant for $4,000
claimed by the Minnesota beet-sugar
company. The opinion is based on the
principle that the people canpot be
taxed for the benefit of a private en-
terprise. The curious feature Of the
matter is that the sugar company has
no appeal to the courts as against the
auditor, for the Minnesota courts have
held that the State auditor cannot be
compelled by mandamus or otherwise
to issue warrants.
