Judge Morse isn't talking politics much
for publication these days either. He
isn't saying . word, is Judge Morse.
Every time he discusses politics for
that purpose he makes break, and
consequently will be seen IN his own
unrIvaled sphinx act until election day.
When he does talk. IL is in q vague,
non-committal sort of a way-as If he
expected that somebody was getting
ready to spring loaded cigar on him or
propose . green goods game. THIS isn't
due to any sQueamisnuess he feels
about election, because the outlook for
the democratic state ticket is first

Morse says. "The outlook is good"
Those are his worus. 1.-THE outlook is

Charles Mullan of San Francisco was

Mullan Is connected with the firm of
Siegtrled a. Brandenstein, importers
ana tea firers. "There has been a
fairly heavy crop of tea this year" he
SAID. sand mos. of it Is on the market.
Most of the japan tea Is picked before
the first of May, and all of it lie Oh the
market here before the last Of August.
the Ceylon tea IS coming on the mar
ket in large quantities, but there Ia q
c mparatively light demand for it in
America. Most Americans prefer the
green Japan teas. There Is very little
blending and miling done with the teas
consumed in America. Most of the
milling 10 done N London and none
but black teas are used. The Amer
cans do not seem TO take kindly to the
black teas and go the little that is con-
sumed il shipped by way of London.
Most of the Ceylon tea 10 marketed IN
London too. The China and Japan
teas are grown by the natives and sold
to the firers. They fire it and put it
in chests, after which it is sent to Lon
don, New York and San Francisco.
Most of the large houses are English
and American concerns and the market
is practically controlled by tnem."

PYTHIAN ENCAMPMENT.
KANSAS CITY swARMING WITH UNI
FORMED KNIGHTS.
sixty-five Thousand Pythians Expected
to Go Into Camp-Blinding Dust
and Drenching Rain Mars
Their Reception.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Aug. 22.-Knights
OF Pythias are arriving today in brig
ades. Every gaily decked cable car
bears crowds of people that fill them
completely, and many of them are
riding on the platforms. The eucamp-
ment is destined to be great success.
1t is estimated that no less than
$1,000 Knights of Pythias and other
visitors are in the city. About half of
those who will participate in the en-
campment are now quartered at Camp
Shaw. The remainder will arrive be-
tween tonight and noon tomorrow, when
the encampment will be formally and
officially opened.
At noon today dark clouds began to
roll up at the northern horizon, and an
hour later, without warning, storm
descended upon the town, accompanied
by furious gale and drenching rain.
The fury of the storm did not last over
quarter of an hour, but it did considera-
BILE mischief. Several tents at the
camp were blown down, and those that
remained standing were filed with dust,
which flew in clouds before the rain
fell.
Everything not well sheltered was
soaked with rain, and good deal of
discomfort resulted. Rain also marred
somewhat the beauty of the downtown
decorations. The weather tonight is
clearing, and the signal ation predicts
fine day for tomorrows's parade.
The biennial session of the supreme
lodge of the Knights of Pythias of the
world will be begun tomorrow morning.
Previous to the session the supreme
representatives will be given reception
at the Grand opera house. Addresses of
welcome will be delivered by Governor
Francis, in the name of the state;
| Mayor Cowherd, in the name OF
| that city, and E. M. Harder, grand
chancellor for Missouri, in the name of
the local Pythians. Supreme Chancel-
ior George B. Shaw will respond for the
supreme lodge, and the lodge will then
go into executive session.
The Pythian Sisters arrived in nearly
as great numbers today as the incoming
knights. Most of them come to witness
the pageants of the knights, and only a
few of them are in attendance upon the
supreme lodge of their order. The su-
preme lodge of the sisterh cd had it's
first meeting this afternoon. The meet
ing was OF preliminary and informal
character.
An elaborate programme for the en-
| tertainment of the Pythian visitors has
been arranged, and includes at least one
hundred interesting features for each
day.
The reports of the officers of the en-
dowment rank, Knights of Pythias,
state that on July /, 1882, there were
1417 active sections; 29,407 members,
and the endowment in force was $62,-
952, 900, showing an increase of 500 sec-
tions, 5000 members, and $17 ,000, 900 en-
dowment in the two years preceding.

SUPPORTERS OF CLEVELAND.
German-Americans Going to
Vote for Grover.
Leading German Citizens Favor His
Election.
Carl schurz, Henry Willard and Other
Distinguished Teutons warmly
Espouse the Cause of
Democracy.
By the Associated Press.l

BY the Associated Press.l
New York, Aug. 22.-The German
American Cleveland Union has issued
an address signed by Carl Schurz, Os-
valid Ottendorf, William Sseinw ay,
Henry Willard, Louis Windmuller and
Gustav II. Schwab, which, after prais-
ing Grover Cleveland and giving reasons,
urges all German-Americans to cast
their ballots for the Democratic candi-
dates.
Being translated, the address reads,
in part, as follows:
Impressed with the unusual inn
portance of the coming presidential
election, we regard it as our duty to give
our reasons for believing that the well
fare OF our adopted country requires the
election of Grover Cleveland, and why
he deserves the votes of naturalized
Germans. Above all, we believe he is a
thoroughly honest man, which fact even
his most bitter enemies do not dare to
dispute. Among his most marked char
adherence to his convictions.
AS d UohIcI Vi CACCutlfO pOWcI, u0
invariably subordinated party interest
to the common welfare. We need only
refer to the firmness with which, not
withstanding the strong tendency of his
party in the south and far west, to bring
about unlimited coinage of silver, he
unhesitatingly warned them of the dan
gers liable from such policy. His in
nate sense of duty cannot be better
proven than by the fact that during
his presidential administration, as well
as during his second candidacy, he
never was favorite with machine poll
ticians, whose aim was their own vel
fare. 1t was owing to his intelligence
and courage that tariff reform was in
scribed on the banner on which bis
whole party united and was led to a
glorious victory. There is no doubt that
by following the same banner it will
win another victory at the end of the
present campaign.
Therefore, we earnestly beseech our
fellow citizens to aid us in securing the
election of Grover Cleveland. We do
not hesitate to make this appeal to our
countrymen because the platform of the
Democratic party is entirely satisfactory
in regard to the main questions"
