The Philippine Islands.

The Atlanta Journal says Just
now the Philippines are a center OF
general observation because OF the
prospect that Spain will lose them
as well as Cuba and Porto Rico and
because a great naval battle IN that
quarter seems imminent.
Tie average citizen of this coun,
try knows very little about thia
group Of islands. They lie off the
southeastern coast Of China and
south Of Formosa. The PHILIPPINE
archipelago includes nearly six hum
dred islands, of which, however, only
thirteen are Of considerable size.
The largest Of these, Luzon, has al
area Of 4 5000 square miles. which
is nearly as large as that OF Virginia.
Manila, The capital, has a population
Of 100000 and a large amount Of
wealth. It's trade 10 sugar, tobacco
and hemp is very large. The second
island of the group in size is Munda-
mao, with an area OF $4,000 square
miles. The total area oil the Philli
pines is about 10000 square miles,
or more than three times The area Of
Cuba. The total population is iully
100000 and is badly mixed. There
is as great a variety Of religion as of
blood. There are Mohameaans,
Buddhists, shintoists, and q few

Judse mot Lest Ne be Judged.

Our contemporary the St. Martin
vile Messenger is nursing a griev-
ance. 1t is very wrathy because the
Supreme Court Of the State has in
an opinion delivered by Justice Blat-
chard, reversed the verdict in the
case OF the State VS. John Reed, tried
for murder in St. Martin parish,
remanding it for a new trial. Reed
had been tried for the murder OF
Joachim Comeau and convicted. III
his charge 10 the jury Judge Montop,
as is too often the case these days.
when judges allow their zeal to run
away with their discretion and tempt
them to play the role OF prosecuting
witness aud States attorney. stated
that ''the killing of Comeau was an
external circumstance from which
the Jury had to infer whether it was
with or without malice" This
was purely gratultons since it was
wholly the province of tue jury to
determine that fact and thereby the
distinguished Judge came to grief,
for the Supreme Court says:
1T was a fatal error for the Dis.
trict Judge to charge that the kill
ing Of Comean was an external cir
cumstance from which the jury had
TO infer whether it was done with or
without malice" because, says Mr..
Blanchard, the Jury might have IN
derstood from this, that the District
Judge was telling them that Reed
had actually killed Comeau.
In champloning so 6%ercely the
cause Of Judge Mouton, and making
such a vicious assault upon Justice
Blanchard whom we know to be an
able, studious and painsraking Judge.
our estimable confrere should moi
forget that Judge Mouton has a
record-one which Mr.. LAYTON Of
the New Iberia Enterprise attack
ed in unmeasured terms Of censure
some two years ago. and though the
Judge prosecuted LaWton for crimi-
nal libel, he has never appeared very
anxious to bring the cause TO trial.
The law guarantees to the accused
certain rights, which ia order that
human liberty be preserved and
exact justice meted out to every
man, must be scrupulously main
tanned, and it is the duty OF the
Supreme Court to jealousy safe.
