as to include Hongkong within its purview. The whole question, of course, centres in the point as to the righteousness or not of Ship ping Conferences. We all know what Ship ping Conferencesare and on the whole itmust be admitted that they are to less danger ous to communal life than is any other form of trade organisation. That the Conference in the shipping trade has led to enhance ment of freights and passage cannot for a single moment be denied. But, at the same time it has led to stability of charges and a general levelling up. It is rather interesting to read the condemnatory phrases in which Mr. Evans, the Attorney General of Singapore tries to make the best of a bad cause. He says "The Government, was determined to put a stop to the objectionable combina tion of shipownere aud-shippers, and that these persons would in consequence make other arrangements by which the necessity for the Ordinance would be obviated Government objected to the agreement be tween shipowners and shippers, by which the latter were bound to support the former in keeping up freight rates. It also object ed to the five per cent. on.freights levied upon all and divided aniqugst a few. It further objected to the inclusion within the net of the Cobference of all manner of produce valuable or cheap; but it would be content with a form of con
ference, if such were desired, which would include only the more valuable articles of produce, the freight on which bore only a small.proportion to the cost of production. If the Conference was prepared to amend its Robert Porter & Co.'s agreements and regulations on these lines, the Government felt that it would attain the object it set out to accomplish, and the merchants of the Colony would have a free hand to ship their produce by Conference steamers or any others, In pursuance of this object, Government-had held interviews

a warning against the evils of tea and coffee, in the columns of the recognised journal of the tea and coffee trade of New York. Yet a perusal of the article in question proves | to cac's mind that after all it is not so very much antagonistic to the interests served by the joumal in which it appears. The article is from the pen of the famous Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and in Leaying what he does say Dr. Wiley does not for one moment assume an attitude inimical to the tea and coffee trade. On the contrary, he proffers what appears to us to be very sound advice. It is the duty of the trade, he be lieves, to see that tea and coffee are not used
to excess, for if they are not the Prohibi- tlouists may deal with these drinks next when they have demolished the liquor traffic. This question presents a variety of aspects, at some of the principal of which it is interest ing to glance to passing. In Western lands, coffee and, tea have become universal bover. ages only with the last three hundred years. to China, again, tea has beeu in common use for teas of centuries. Yet amongst the Chipese, the constant consumption of tea does not appear to have had any deleterious effects. On an average, it may be safely. assumed that a Chinese drinks, some hall: dozen small bowls of tea in the course of a day, or the equivalent, say, of three ordinary sized English tea cups. Tea may be said to be the sole pre- pared beverage in use in China, for, after meats, thirst is generally allayed by a draught of the water in which the rice has been boiled. It is strange, therefore, that this tea-drinking nation should consume very much less per head than is consumed in countries like England, Russia and America, inwhich it is an importation of comparatively recent date, and in which also alcoholic and other beverages are drank in enormous quan tities. In China, however, the key-abte of national life is temperance in all things: even in the matter of opium smoking the great bulk of Chinese who use the drug exercise temperance, as recent commissions of inquiry have had to admit. Amongst Western nations, however, there is a con-
