DECIDE TO CONTEST.
Kentucky Democrats Will Fight Taylor
in the legislature

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 16.-The Dem.
ocratic state central. executive and
campaign committees met here in Joint
session. Ex-senator Blackburn pre-
sided and said he had been threatened
with defeat for senator if the Demo
cratic state officers made a contest, bu,
that he had ridden IA miles in a buggy
to tell the committees that he favored q
contest even if it resulted in his own
defeat, as he would rather have a Dem.
ocratic state governor than to serve a
life time in the senate.
The committees unanimously adopted
the following resolution and there is nc
longer any doubt about the contest
coming before the legislature:
Resolved, That it is the unanimous
sense of the members of the Democratic
state central, executive and campaign
committees that William Goebel should
make a contest, as authorized by law,
for the Office of governor, and that J.
G. W. Beckham should make a contes,
for the Office Of lieutenant governor and
that We heartily endorse the contest:
already commenced by the other candi
dates On the Democratic state ticket"

cities were then invited in to present

was allowed to each.
After the presentation of the claims
of the four cities, Chicago. New York,
Philadelphia and St. Louis, was com.
pleted, the committee, upon the sug.
gestion Of Chairman Hanna, took q

Some months ago THE Sun noted tho

proposed 10y Don JOSE ANTONIO OLAvAR-
RIA Of Caracas, Venezuela. Coffee, in n
word Ia in n state Of excessive, continued
and apparently irrcprcssiblc ov"rproduc-
ton. Far more coffee is produced each
year than will be taken by consumers and
n huge surplus Of coffee stock is accu-
mulating which, it seems. cannot be dis
posed of by ordinary methods. Conditions
of climate, weather and soil seem to have
favored coffee in mn extraordinary way;
and the fact that in Brazil, chief of coffee
countries, labor il rdiculOusly cheap, and
Is paid In Brazilian paper money, has
greatly stimulated coffee planting.
Tho inevitable end of IL all is disaster or
ruin to the planters. As n general PROPOSE
ton there is no longer any money in coffee.
Unless the prc" il advanced in compare
lively short time many great estates in
Brazil and Venezuela and other American
coffee countries will be abandoned.
ScfIor OLAvARRrA's plan was That practi
cally great union of planters or Of coffee
countries should be formed, which should.

demands.
According to n recent letter which tho
State Department has received from the
United States Minister LOOMS, at Cara
cas-, there seems to hc some chance that
Senior OLAvARRIA's broad and bold scheme
may be tried. TIL" Venezuelan Herald has
taken up the matter vigorously, and is
urging the Government Of its country to
call conference of coffee producing nations
in this hemisphere to consider the subject.
1t will be proposed ut this conference to APP
point central committee to regulate the cX-
ports Of coffee from the different countries,
to place an export duty upon coffee, tn" pro-
cceds of which shall bruscd in the purchase
OF surplus amounts of the staple, and to
adopt measures for lowering the import
duties on coffee in other countries as well
as increasing the consumption of coffee tho
world over. Such congress is not at all
unlikely to meet and to attempt to carry
out the plan proposed.

A dozen years ago, in 1887, n conference
on this subject was held in London. Dur

in 1887 the Colonial Office pointed out az
