The Porto Ricans have as good an op-
portunity to sell their coffee here or any
where in Europe except Spain as they
ever had. The loss of special favor
shown them by Spain In paying a high
tariff price for their coffee and giving IL
preference over other coffee In the Span

The Mnnufacturer aud Reciprocit!

(From the Detroit Free Press.)
Even the American manufacturer who
talks about reciprocity has the haziest
idea OF the meaning of the term. This
notion of reciprocity is a condition of
trade by which he can purchase his raw
materials as cheaply as possible. and reap
all the benefits of a prOhibitive tariff on
the manufactured article. So far as reci-
procity relates to the business of some
body else. ne is even in favor of free
trade His own business, of course. must
be protected. because foreign competition
is a dangerous thing, and besides. any
tinkering of the tariff relating to his in
terests would be likely to disturb bust

The Sugar Question.

(From the Indianapolis News.)
Reciprocity in general and in particular
is going to make no great headway i'm
mediately; so much is apparent from the
attitude and utterances of the leading
men of the Republican party. But some
questions will not await political schemes
or party necessities. And possibly the
sugar question, with all its conflicting in

According TO Dutch correspondents Of

the Dutch Pro- Boer Committee to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has failed to stir the peo-
pie of Holland The letter. it is said. has
attracted little attention in the Dutch
press, while in official circles It has been
entirely ignored, though expressions have
not been wanting in these quarters show
ing deep faith in the ultimate destiny of
the British people. This sentiment was
emphasized in the prayer which was Of

The explosion of naphtha launch on
the Hudson river through the accidental
ignition Of the vapor issuing from a leak
in the tank containing the fluid used
in operating the engine resulted in the
death of two persons. and in the deStruc-
ton Of the Inflated launch. The accident
was similar to one that happened in New
York waters last year, and it ought to
make the owners Of naphtha launches
more careful as to the condition of the
tanks and the pipes which convey the
fluid to the yaporizers of the engines
Gasoline is an exceedingly volatile fluid.
and therefore it must be kept in vessels
that are absolutely tight in every joint.
In order to he sure that no leaks exist.
the tanks and pipes should be frequently
inspected. The same care is necessary
where gasoline is used for lighting pur-
poses in country homes. The presence
of the vapor is easily detected, ana when
it is discovered, the care as to the hand
ling Of light in The vicinity Of the vapor
should be as great as that which should
attend the presence of miners in under
ground galleries that are known to be
full of gas.
