WHERE ST4NDS CALDERHEADg
Where does Mr. w. A. Calderhead.
Republican nominee for congress, stand
on the silver question? This is import
ant He may have made a clear, une-
quivocaI statement On the subject, but if
he has, it has no. been generally dissem-
mated in this part of the state where
much interest is felt in that district The
Washington Post, speaking Of Mr.. Cal
derhead's meeting there, says:
Hon w. A. Calderhead spoke for
more than two hours and held the en-
thusiastic attention Of the audience. He
also answered a number of inquiries adj
dressed TO him by Joseph Koles and Mr..
AmphIett Populists, and shattered their
preconceived notions about the financial
history Of the country. Mr.. Calderhead
is thoroughly posted about the political
history of our country and is a patriotic
gentleman who inspires his hearers with
confidence in his sincerity and devotion
to those principles of government upon
which the prosperity Of our country de-
pends-
Um-yes. That's very good But what
did Dir. CaIderhead say7 If the STATE
JOURNAL should send a reporter to take
candidates. speech and he didn'E get any
thing more definite than that, we fear the
reporters chances for holding his posi-
ton would be slim.
Then comes the SaIina Sun and says:
Mr. Calderhead is all right on the sill
yer question He is an honest man, is
never guilty of practices or devices of
telling the people be is one thing while
believing IN another; he comes from
sturdy Scotch ancestry, and caudOr and
sincerity beam from his face as you talk
with him. He is for silver coinage and
will work to that end if he goes to con-
gress. for a substantial silver dollar lie
will have great weight with the powers
that be, for he is a ready debater and has
facts and figures at his tongues end to
sustain his position. He Is phenomenal
in the matter of ready knowledge and
memory. He il like James a. Garfield
in this matter.
This is little bit nearer the point
Mr.. Calderhead IS in favor of the coinage
of silver; as to how much and at what
ratio we are left in the dark DO the
newspapers of the Fifth district really
know where Mr. Calderhead stands on
silver? If they do why don't they say 50
in plain English.

such an Office as tAis, for tea to be
served in the afternoon to the clerks,
and we all feel the need of it, sir, at
the regular time. We hope you are not
offended, sir. We felt a little difident
about telling you about it. Maybe we
can have the same arrangement here
that they have in other Offices =
OF course the American had no objec-
ton He at once ordered that tea should
be served every day, according to Gus
tom, and his clerks were not thereafter
annoyed by the lack of their regular
dose of mild stimulant in the middle Of
the afternoon.
There is some tea drinking in France,
though in this respect the Gauls are not
like their Russian friends, who con-
sumo tea almost as Unfortunately as do
the English. The Russians, By the
way, get the best Chinese tea at lower
prices than any others outside Of Asia
The best tea is put up in bricks and is
said TO suffer great deterioration. due to
the effect Of the salt air, when trans
ported by ship. The best tea bricks are
therefore sent overland by caravans to
Russia, the land Of the samovar. It is
said by Russian travellers that the flavor
of samovar brewed brick tea is some
thing SO ecstatically delicious as to
to whoever has once drunk from the
samovar fount. The Russians do not
follow the Chinese rule for making tea,
but they claim that they produce better
results. OF course there are two opinions
upon this important matter. which will
probably never be settled definitely
The Chinese make their tea by putting
q handful of leaves into a large cup that
stands on the table when the meal is
ready. Upon the tea they then pour
very hot water from little teapot. The
sleeping tea is then covered with a sau-
Ger and allowed to remain three or four
minutes. Then the Chinaman dexter
ously picks up the cup and the saucer
with>the outspread fingers Of his hand,
and with skill not easily initiated by
the Caucasian pours the amber liquid
from the cup in which it has been
STEPPED, without removing the saucer,
into the tiniest Of thimble cups.
The amount of water placed upon the
tea IS regulated by the number of peo-
pie who are to drink it, and when their
little cups have been filed the grounds
in the large cup should be drained, and
more water is placed upon them when
the small cups are ready to be replen-
ished
1t is the common belief that tea was
into England from Holland
in 1868 It's price was then about $50 d
pound, and naturally only the very rich
could afford to drink it. Every one has
read the stories that are told of the Eng

The Free Thinkers adopted the follow
ing resolution before they adjourned:
Resolved, That we. citizens Of Kansas
and mem bers of the Kansas Free Think
ers' association, declare that all legisla-
ton setting apart Sunday as a religious,
or as a holy day, is in direct violation of
the freedom of conscience and an in
fringement upon individual rights and
personal liberty, and is, moreover, in
direct violation Of the guarantees Of the
United States constitution and that Of the
state of Kansas. both Of which guaran-
tees the fullest religious liberty, and we
respectfully request the legislature Of
our state to repeal these statutes and
thereby establish in our commonwealth
the rights guaranteed Us.
This kind Of an appeal is frequently
made by free thinkers, infdels and 9th
ers who do not believe in christianity.
These people invariably overlook the
the fact that the beneficence OF. Sunday
laws lies not only in the religious fea-
ture but in the manner in which they
affect working people The Sunday laws
protect the workingman and save him
from being compelled to work seven
days Of the week. instead Of six. OF
course, in some occupations, such as rail-
road work and others, he is not as thor
oughIy protected as he ought to be-
Every body ought to have holiday one
day in the week, and the Sunday laws do
much to guarantee this.

lish first using tea somewhat after the
fashion Of greens - They thought the
tea leaves were eaten by the Chinese,
and they tried to do the same thing.
Similar stories are also told of the first
use of tea in the American colonies a
few years later, and the house IN which
the first American attempt to eat tea
leaves was made was pointed out to the
writer near the limo of the New York
and New Haven railroad in Connecticut

since been burned to the ground, having

passing locomotive.
In 1888 an attempt was made by the
United States government to foster the
growth Of tea in America. Tt had been
found as early as 1904 that tea could be
raised IN South Carolina, and it was
there that the government attempts
were made in 1888. These attempts
were not highly successful, but they
were renewed last year and may posi-
bly, result in something of a success by
and by.
The people of the United States are
somewhat like the French in their pref
erence for coffee over tea. a preference
which is growing annually. In 1888
So. 944, SAT pounds Of tea, or 1. 40 per

sumption of tea was 50. Clio. 741, or l. 81

TOPEKA in one sense, is a peculiar
town. For the first and only time in her
history she has two United States sena-
tors. She will never have two senators
again in a hundred years; yet she is

glad to have such tremendous influence
