There Is no detail Of this performance
which has not been seen In American
courts, even those Of New York. 1t Is
easy to recall cases in which the law
yers not only for the defence but also
for the prosecution were manifestly
animated by other motives than the
simple desire to have justice done, and
In which newspapers have similarly
manifested an interest which 1t would
be impossible to account for on any
legitimate basis Of news recording. The
obvious intent was to manufacture news
as we'll as to record II, and to that END,
"a Their than to the promotion OF justice
the efforts Of papers and lawyers were
directed. Thoughtful men will agree
with the English judge who declared, IN
the present case, that such conduct by
n lawyer constitutes very grave or
fence. meriting severe punishment, ana
also with his further opinion, that the
newspapers connected with the affair
deserved punishment equally with the
lawyer.

THE FRENCH LANGUAGE T.
AFRICA.

The French possessions in Western
Africa consist of territory three times
as large as the republic itself. The in
digenous population of this vast domain
numbering some ten millions, Is made
up of at least. thirty different races, each
with a language Of its own. Strangely
enough, the administration Of this mod
ern Babel was conducted until recently
neither in French nor in the various
local dialects, but in Arabic a tongue
as foreign to the natives as French
itself and far more difficult to learn
so difficult indeed, that the French
colonial officials themselves have us a
rule succeeded only imperfectly in
mastering it. To facilitate the introduc-
ton of this doubly alien official Ian
guage the French government made its
only institution for secondary education
in the territory, the "medersha' at
Djenne. an Arabic school. Meanwhile
most OF the correspondence between the
administrators and the native chiefs
was carried on through the marabouts,
the importance and influence Of these
holy men" being thus needlessly and
dangerously enlarged
one result Of this enforced use Of
Arabic. a result that might have been
foreseen but was not, has been the
facilitation by a Christian government
Of the Islamic propaganda in Africa.
Arabic literature. by means Of which
the language is chiefly taught, is almost
exclusively and often fanadcally re-
ligious in tone. The result has been a
growth Of solidarity among the younger
generation of the various tribes increas-
ingly away from French cultural in
fiuences and consistently closer to the
Mahometan faith and to Mahometan
modes Of thought.
The danger has been recognized at
last in this period of the sturdy, aspiring
Islamic revival. The French colonial
government has substituted French for
Arabic as the official language in its
West African dominions. Hereafter it
will be the tongue Of the courts as well
as Of all the other branches Of the adj
ministratio Natives aspiring to enter
the governmental service will be forced
to learn it, the marabouts will be shorn
Of their semi-official power and thus,
it Is expected. French civilization will
be made a counterweight TO the progress
Of Mahometanism.
