Early this month there will assemble
at Barbados conference of representa-
tives of the commercial interests of the
British West Indian colonies, including
Jamaica. which may have most import
ant political consequences.
This conference is an outgrow tn of a
strong and strengthening feeling of dis
satisfaction among the most substantial
people of these islands. Appeals and
protests to the home government have
thus far been in vain. The colonial
leaders have resolved upon more decisive
measures for relief. 1t is no severity of
imperial administration which they com
plain of, but rather that their Industrial
welfare is totally neglected by the i'm
peria authorities.
1t is, to a very large degree, question
of sugar. In Jamaica, Barbados, the
Leeward and Windward Islands and
Trinidad sugar is the chief staple. 1t
used to find profitable market in Great
Britain, but it has been gradually ousted
by the beet sugar of the continent of
Europe, grown by planters who are
protected by large bounties from their
governments. Great Britain. under her
free trade policy, Of course pays no
bounty to British colonial sugar pro
ducers, and British colonial sugar has no
advantage in free entry into British
ports over the bounty-fed sugar of
France and Germany, which also comes
in free of duty
Thus step by step the British col
onists have been crowded from the
British market by foreigners, Though
the British government, notably only a
a few weeks ago. through Mr.. Chamber
lain, has repeatedly promised relief, none
has as vet been forthcoming. Is It
strange that this apparent neglect has
proven a severe strain upon British
colonial loyalty:
This Barbados conference proposes ia
frame a serious and emphatic remon-
strauce. A CORES pOndent writing from
Kingston, Jamaica, says that 1.-THE reso-
buttons will demand that an adequate
scheme of relief be at once prepared by
the mother country. with the alternative
that the colonies be relieved of their
fiscal responsibilities to Great Britain
if practicable, and, if not found practical

to 60 ahead and take such steps for theil

ther. that if neither proposal be enter
tanned, the colonies will, although un
prepared to offer armed revolt, resort t

a deliberate coercion into acceptanc,
OF their utter industrial ruin on thu
mother country, conformity with Al
appeal to the United States ard tn

thing, nourishing food drink to take the
place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and
liked by all who have used it because
when properly prepared it tastes like the
finest coffee, but is free from all its in
furious properties. Grain-O aids diges-

not a stimulant but health builder, and
children, as well AS adults, can drink II
with great benefit. Costs about one
quarter as much as coffee. Fifteen and

PARRlSD A CHALLENGE.
How Clever Young Lawyer Got Out of
 Fighting a Duel.

4 good story is told of 8 young law yer in this city One of his first cases was claim against q creole gentleman, who agreed to pay certain amount aaeh month. The first of the first month after the agreement came and went, the creole gentleman forgetting to remit. The young lawyer waited several days, and then wrote q letter. It had one yir- tue--it was emphatic. It was not so polite as it was emphatic, however, and within an hour of its delivery to the creole gentleman two of his friends call. ed upon the young lawyer with mess age, which, freely translated, meant 'Yon have the privilege of naming the weapons.
 For moment the young lawyer was genuinely alarmed. He had heard that the creole gentleman was dead shot and equally fatal with the sword. He wanted to avoid trouble, but did not feel that ths circumstances justified him in pleading professional privilege when he had virtually called man beat, Then there came to his mind that he uiti SUiilSW uGEd GuAb could not grant duel to any one who owed him money, and he haughtily said so to his callers.
 They instantly withdrew. An hour passed. It was an hour of anguish to the young lawyer. Then there cane again the cards of the two friends of the offended creole gentleman. A min ute later they were in the lawyers office, and he had written ont receipt for the full amount of the claim against the creole gentleman.
 And now, sir, " said the chief sec ond of the creole gentleman to the young lawyer "what is your answer to our principals demand?f
 My answer, gentlemen, is this: ] formed the nasty conclusion that your principal did not intend to pay what l considered q just debt, and l so ex- pressed myself. He has paid the debt. l recognize the seriousness of my mis- judgment of him as gentleman, and l beg to assure him, through you, that l will willingly offer him any apology which gentleman may se9 fit to re- quire of a gentleman.
