The circumstances and protests made
by the humane people of this country
and Europe against the cruelty practiced
towards its Jewish subjects by the Rus
sian government having had the effect.
as we are told in the dispatches, Of
prompting that government to increase
the rigors of its treatment of the said
subjects, it is now in order for the peo-
pies who have interested themselves in
the behalf named to resort to other
means of relief. And there appears to
be but two ways open: one is to inaug-
urated relief movement to raise funds
sufficient to remove the prosecuted Jews
beyond the reach of their prosecutors
and provide them homes, or at least Sc
cure for them localities where they may
homes: or, else, to organize a
crusade of force sufficient to invade the
cars domain and compel the adoption
of humane policy towards the jews
The latter move would no doubt be as
easily put on foot as the other, but the
first would be more in accordance with
the spirit that prompts Intervention of
any sort.

Chicago is just now lending its assist
ance in getting up boom for New Or
leans, for the express purpose of divert
ing to that port all of the export and
import traffic from and to the west that
seeks and is likely to seek the gulf route
This unusual concern on the part of
Chicagois easily accounted for. With an
adequate port on the western gulf coast,
to accommodate the business interests
and needs of the west, Chicago will lose
much OF that business that is now forced
into channels that lead by that city;
self defense, therefore, prompts the lake
city to combat and if possible defeat the
deep harbor scheme on the Texas coast.
The experience of the past several years
with New Orleans as a seaport has
demonstrated to Chicago that she has
little to fear from it as a competitor for
trans-Mississippi business. The little
that has been done by way of Galveston
is enough to give Chicago an idea of
what the latter will lose when the new
gulf route is fairly opened.

SUGAR AND COFFEE.

The two great staple-luxuries, sugar
and coffee, promise to give the trade and
country little exhibition of teeter-board
gymnastics. In view of the reduction of
the tariff on sugar, which will go into
effect April 1, the price of that article, it
is predicted, will decline full two cents
to consumers. Whether taking advant-
age of this as convenient occasion, or
because of an actual shortage in the
coffee supply available for the American
market, for raising the quotations there
for, may not be material to the consum-
ers, but certain it is that the price of
coffee in the east is advancing.
For some weeks past it has been known
to coffee merchants that the supply of
coffee is much below the average of past
New York notified dealers in Boston and
other cities that by the middle of March
they might expect to have increased
prices demanded for coffee. Some of the
wholesalers did not take stock in the
bullish predictions of New Workers, but
Wednesday all grades went up. One
wholesaler, whose trade is in Maine and
New Hampshire, has in stock just 800
bags, where usually he has 5000. A
member of the wholesale coffee house in
New York from whom a we'll known
Boston merchant had made large pur-
chase about ten days ago called on the
latter and offered to give the purchaser
cent a pound to restore the coffee which
he had sold week ago, but which the
buyer had not yet removed from New
York. The offer was declined.

credited with large gains in the vote cast,
while III New York in the same class of
