TIE IMPORTANCE OF COFFEE.

A.. +ho domestic production of beet sugar
steadily increases and relations with Cuba
Hawaii Porto Rico and the Philippines bring
-, enormous area of cane sugar land in close
touch with consumers here, the position of cof-
fee in international importance is advanced to
the front. This product is now the one for
which we must depend most largely on foreign
nroduccrs Imports in 1900 were valued at
s5951O771, against $5GO6S99 994 in 1889 and
S53 6.4 $50 in 1898. Yet the increase IN cost
last wear was entirely due higher prices, since
the quantity received fell off 92279495 pounds
The heavy loss in receipts is not attributed to
decreased consumption. but excessive imports
in 1899 owing to the cheapness at which pur-
chases could be made; No. Rio declining to
, A cents. the lowest price on record. AS about
three-fourths of the coffee imported comes from
Brazil, this is the standard grade on which
price fluctuations are based
Recent speculative operations have attracted
considerable attention and merit comment One
pron,inent firm entered the market a pur-
chaser on a large scale, and option dealings Of
late have been far above a normal average,
while on one day sales Of contracts at the local
exchange were the largest with but three ex-
centions since the excitement in April, 1898
The price was advanced TO T$i cents in the face
of a statistical position that precluded any pos
sible excuse for strength. Among the reasons
given for this operation, the most plausible is
an effort TO improve the financial situation in
Brazil by prominent European banking house
AS negotiations for a loan are in progress. and
the high rate of exchange together with the
sharp decline in prices of coffee and rubber put
that government in bad position. il is possible
that the market has been manipulated on that
account.

LYNCH LAW AGAINST SALOONS.

Those who approve OF the methods employed
by Mrs Nation and her followers in Kansas 10
drive saloonkeepers out of business are repre-
sented by reader OF The Tribune, who finds
fault with us for condemning that way OF right
ing a wrong. He says thar the joint keepers :
business is 70 promote vice, violence and crime;
TO iniure health. waste wealth and lay burdens
on charity; to increase taxation and corrupt
politics: and that all this is done in defiance of
the law. while officers of the law refuse 10 in-
terfere. Hence it Is proper and desirable that
private citizens. in1amed with righteous resent
ment should take the execution Of the law into
their own hands and smash the saloons, even
though their action tends 10 and may produce
riOting and boodshed. Now. we heartily sup
port the view that the Kansas law against the
sale Of liquor ought 10 be enforced. and ii, as
our correspondent implies the overwhelming
sentiment Of the State is on the side of the
saloon smashers we cannot understand why it
is not so vigorously enforced as 10 render their
proceedings unnecessary. How does it happen
that the solid. impregnable majority does not
turn out the faithlcss officials and put in men
who will do their duty? That. it seems to MS,
Is the right way to vindicate the law-the only
wav that is not sure to foster worse evils than
those which the ''joint" smcshers are resolved
to cure.
There are crimes moro serious than the Illicit
sale and consumption Of liquor. Murder is one
of them. and reputable citizens Of many places
have often taken il upon themselves To put
murderer to death. either before or after trial
and condemnation by the courts. In advance,
while their passions are at fever heat they al
WAYS defend the thing they mean 10 do on the
ground that the wretch does not deserve the
protection of judicial processes. and even after
the event they sometimes plead the sanction
of what they call the higher law. But intelll-
gent. sober minded men and women know That
this is not valid justification. 1t is lynch law
that Mrs Nation and her followers are admin
istering in Kansas. and their only defence Is
the defence which utterly breaks down when
a murderer is hanged by a mob.
