the Ju9oR WHO IS AFRAID.
M. M. MURDOCH. Editor.

There is such a thing as the bench under the stress
Of high temperature becoming trie highheaded and
arbitrary The most recent instance is in the Barker
trial The judge that trial had determined apparently
to see that the jury brought in a verdict Of guilty.
Barker shot Reverend Keller. not killing him Kel-
Ter said that Barker him. Barker said he shot him
The jury brought verdict of guilty The papers gen
orally applauded the judge stern upright courageous
exemplar Of even-handed justice.
But the circumstances were excluded from the jury.
Those circumstances were these: Mrs Barker claimed
that the minister had assaulted her that she had for
very obvious reasons concealed the assault from her hus-
band until from another he got inkling Of it
and demanded the story, which gave. Barker then
went out shot Keller, claiming perfect right
to do so.
Barkers alleged provacaton did not 90 to the jury
the judge would not permit it, he pointed out that Mrs
Barkers veracty was not at issue when common sense
knows it was surely.
Under the judges instructions the jury had but one
thing do-brlng verdict guilty This the jury
did The jurors are now out in interviews saying that
they did to render the verdict they did, but that
the judge would not permit them to do anything else
Until some wiser man than New Jersey judge dem
onstraes to the contrary jury system righteous
thing The jury sits in judgment the prisoner, it
does not If it does not its existence as an Institution
uajustfable
But so long as it does exist and so long as the
scheme Of justice far from perfection provides for
decision the evidence the juror who permits himself to
be compelled to say guilty when he believes not guilty is a
coward all the starched dignity Of all the starched
courts in the world looks dark and thunders For if
prosecution has much latitude in circumstantial ey-
den defense can not the minds of just men, be barred
from it entirely.

DISTRIBUTION OF NEW AMERICANS.

Gradually the census figures which have been giving
US population states and cites coming TO
details in which lie their interesting revelations
The latest group Of statistics gives notion Of
how small part Of the Union terroriay considered is
engaged the first processes Of asmatng the hordes Of
newcomers from foreign lands.
The extreme percentages OF foreign born citizens in
this country found the and northeast and the
greatest in the northern central diysonhe group Of
including Ohio Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota and
Michigan. That New York Pennsylvania New Jersey
and Massachusetts have the larger proportions of the
foreign-born will not surprising revelation,
since the average immigration show that about so
per the arrivals from abroad settle in the section
covered by these states About quarter Of the Con
necticut population is foreign-bOrn.
The south bears little share yet in the work Of
receiving and developing citizens The statistics for
1900 thus far announced only Alabama and Arkan-
sas but the per cent Of foregnborn whites reported
there Will be found most other states in the same
section The negro situation has much to do with this,
the rapidly developing New South different
conditions yet prevail
OF course the character Of immigrants has to be
sidered in locating them Men who especially to dig
coal Pennsylvania well be shifted elsewhere.
But the old reception states filling up It will be nee
essary at some not distant day consider in connection
with immigrants the uncrowded vasness of the west
and southwest

AMERICAN LEATHER ABROAD.

interesting example ofthe ability of American
manufactured products to markets abroad upon
their merits is given in recent report by Consul
Schumann, stationed Mainz Germany. The particu-
product reerred to is leather in the manufacture Of
which Philadelphia has achieved deserved prominence
1t that the quality Of American leather is so
superior that entered the German market despite the
most vigorous efforts to exclude it. German manufactur
ers alarmed the inroads already made, de-
handing that higher tariff be fixed for the purpose Of
keeping the American product The consul states.
however that the excellence of our leather is marked
that demand almost any price and that even
if high tariff should be placed it the trade would
probably not be seriously disturbed.

scrbed warke and cruel by making piracy their
most congenal pursuit They conquered the southern
part of the archipelago including the Snlu Islands and
then Spain subjected the conquers to her SOW

s in progress when the Philippines came into
the possession Of the United States in most Of the
OF Spain with the natives the Spanisrds Tortured
and massacred the captive Moros and corfscated their
property In 1876 the Moros were SO strong as TO threat
