England's Wicked War.
Washington Post

1t is a disgraceful war that will
blacken her name in history, this war
that England is waging against the
Beers. No people on earth, since time
began, ever drew the sword in a more
righteous cause than that in which the
Transvaalians are fighting. No civil
lied nation, in modern times, has out
ragged humanity by such wicked. cruel
war as that which the British are
prosecuting against these brave Dutch
men of the Transvaal.
Mr.. Gladstone and his associates in the
Ministry appear to be driven, against
their convictions, by the irresistible tide
of public opinion. The British masses
are bowling for the blood of the Beers.
If the Beers had been whipped, they
might be granted honorable terms of
peace, but as the English have been
thrashed, the ''honor" of Great Britain
must be vindicated by crushing out the
Beers.
This business must be repugnant to
Mr. Gladstone, for he denounced the
Tories when they planted the seed Of
this war by wiping out the Transvaal
republic. John Bright, the Quaker, the
friend of liberty, the advocate of peace,
must despise this war. So must Mr..
Chamberlain-so must all the Liberal
leaders, for all of them were on the side
of the Beers when they sent to the Brit.
ish Government and people their manly
protest against the expunging of their
republic by Sir Bartle Frere, the tool Of
BeaconsfeId.
But the Ministry cannot now make
headway against the war feeling. What
ever Mr.. Gladstone may do toward put
ing an end to this infamous war, he must
not appear TO resist the overW helming
pressure. We believe he will try to make
terms with the Beers on the basis of their
independence. but all the preparations
for formidable campaign viii still go
forward as If there were no thought or
chance fo- peace.

BOUNDARY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND
AMERICA.-One of the most important re.
suits of the trip of the schooner Yukon to
the coast Of Alaska last autumn. under
charge of Commander W. II. Dali, was
the determination of the boundary line
between Russia and the United States.
According to this treaty, this boundary
line should pass between the two Dio-
mede Islands without touching either.
Commander Dali made landing on Big
Diomede Island, and had q short but sat
isfactory set of observations, which
showed that the boundary line, as defined
in the treaty, does actually pass between
the two islands. These islands are granite
domes rising in the centre of Behring's
Strait, their sides almost perpendicular
from the action of the sea, and without
beaches. a few gullies in the granite
bluffs give access to a broken table land

Can States Levy Customs Duties ?
Baltimore Sun.

1t is claimed by those who favor free

shipped from this port of Maryland
production, with inspection optional, il
in fact an export duty such as States are
forbidden to levy by the Constitution OF
the United States. 1t is also claimed
that the same instrument forbids in

men all over the country are interested
in this question, as they are in the duty
of 12 cents per 100 pounds (Which, ad
yalorem, is a duty of from 25 to 30 pei
cent? levied upon foreign salt
imported into our country. The
International Dairy Fair Association,
at a late meeting in New York
city, fully considered this matter and pre-
pared memorial to be sent to the Leg
islature Of the State. In this address il
is stated that the tolls on foreign salt
are "a mills per mile per ton, while that
upon domestic salt is only one mill for
the same weight and distance. In other
words, boat-load of 240 tons, carried
from Albany to Buffalo, costs for for

This difference of $133 20, equal to 551
cents per ton, certainly has the look of
an import duty upon foreign salt, levied
for the protection" of American salt,
the leading salt works being those of
Onondaga, which are the property of
New York State, and the leasing
of which yields considerable
revenue to that commonwealth.
If New York can tax foreign salt
for transportation 554 cents per ton and
thus likewise increase in proportion its
own revenue from its own salt works,
why may not Louisiana in the same way
impose tax of 81 for every hogshead OF
Cuban sugar which enters the Mississippi
river for distribution at river points
above. Why may not Baltimore put a
sufficient entry duty on Havana cigars,

worst part of this double tax on foreign
salt is that dairymen know that the

location here Of a community representing
wealth and intelligence is indicated by the

arrangement of the large grounds attached,
which are of such extent that the pretty village
covers area as large as that of certain cities.
The most singular and picturesque natural
view that ever beheld is that of palmetto
grove situated near here. 1t covers about one
hundred and fifty acres, and the trees run up
from twenty-five TO ninety feet in height, their
trunks at this great altitude being nearly twice
the size that they are near the ground The
grove is situated upon valuable farm and,
strange to say, unlike other trees, they extract
from the soil no strength required for the crops
which are cultivated most successfully in

Coffee In France.
London GLobt

The first coffee root was planted in
France IN the gardens of the King, at
Paris, in 1714, where it speedily perished.
1t was imported by NJ. de Resson, a
Lieutenant General of the Artillery. 1t
is said that the berry was not known in
France till 1867, when the Venetians
imported it, to the great disgust OF the
doctors, who thereupon prophesied evil
things. Nevertheless, it had great
vogue. In 1869 the Ambassadors of
Mahomet H. brought large quantity of
coffee presumably in bulk, which sold in
Paris at 40 crowns a pound. 1t was at the
beginning of 1900 that SiciliaA named
Procope founded the celebrated cafe
bearing his name, in front of the Comedie
Franchise, which became the. rendezvous
of lovers of the drama, the battlefield of
literary disputes, and was attended as is
a certain London literary club, ''by gen
tlemen eminent in their respective
spheres" Here Voltaire passed two
hours every day. Madame de Sevigne
put on bold front against the prevailing
fashion, but struggled in vain, as may
well be imagined, when she foretold that
Racine and coffee and the cafe would
perish together on one and the same day.
The French housewife, than whom
there is no better preparer of the fragrant
cup, will tell you that one of the essential
conditions of coffee being good is that
it be old. When it is new it is acrid and
exciting. With age it loses these defects,
and thus may be compared to wine.
Mocha coffee is the best InFrance it is
rarely found, even in the large grocers
shops. But the Bourbon is nearly equal
to it. Coffee from Martinique is stronger
and more exciting than those already
mentioned, and requires longer keeping.
1t is easy, of course. to buy large guam
tity of the green bean at a time, add to
the stock as it dlminishes, year by year,
taking care that the store-room is dry,
and above all that no strong smelling
condiments are placed near the coffee
jar, such as Worcester sauce, pickles,
Indian confections and the rest. Coffee
has a wonderful tendency to borrow the
less fragrant perfume of other delicacies
to destroy its own.
