Dally, tingle copy it Bally, per week 15e ally, per month 6Se THE I'OSTOmi'E. While It looki very much as though J. H. Pea re bad the inside truck In many waya on the La Grande post office, the Observer In an edltoritJ last evening treated the transaction aa closed, ' when In reality It is not closed, ,. ' ' Summing up the situation as It stands Mr. Peare haa the endorse . ment of Congressman Slniiolt and .National Committeeman Williams which endorsement has been filed with the department. Mr. Richey, the preseDt postmaster, hag the recom mendation for re-appointment of Congressman 'Lafferty and the estab . liahed precedent of the department's endorsement where satisfactory ser vice baa been rendered, and In this case the service has been In every way satisfactory. Nowadays when a postmaster's term expires the depart ment sends a letter to the congress man from the district wherein the office is located asking If there are . reasons why the present postmaster ahould tfot be re-appointed, whereas in olden tlmea the question of who the congressman might want was asked. Now, It appears that Slnnott and 'Williams .are for Peare and Lafferty : and the department purpose standing on the precedent of re-appolntlng the present incumbent, which, sends the whole matter to the president. It Is up to President Taft to choose. The ' attitude of the president In the past , haa been to look with favor upon the department's recommendation regard, ing the service, although claims are made that In this case he will abro ; gate bis rule and appoint (Mr. Peare. Vany believe whether either Post master TUchey or Mr. Peare is ap pointed the tenure of office will be abort, for It is said the Democrats will block confirmation and after the Fourth of March a Democrat, presum ably. General Bragg, will be installed In the La Grande office. The whole matter la interesting to the patrons and we give this revised statement of the exact situation in order that friends of all parties will understand the true status of the case. . Later Since writing the above edi torial. President Tart has submitted Mr. Peare 's name to the senate. " STEVENSON'S , REGRET. The Author's Picture of the British ' Throne at Washington. Mrs. On bourne gives an Interesting glimpse of Robert Louis Stevensoo In conversation In the following account of bis second call on Mrs. Virgil Wil liams: "De bad a peculiarly beautiful voice, with a rich, round, but nut provincial Scotch accent While be conversed with Mrs. Williams be paced up and down the Door in bis usual fashion. with rupld aud graceful motion, or bung on the niuutelplece. It was not strange that the conversation turned on tbe subject of the relations of America and (Jreat Britain. "Stevenson regretted that England bad lost tbe colonies. Fie pictured tbe states under British rule, witb Amer lea tbe seat of government of the whole empire. Fie dwelt opon tbe benefits tlmt would have accrued to tbe whole English epenking race from ucb a union and to all mankind, with Great Britain and America ruling the world for pence and righteousness, in a flight of fancy and witb all tbe rich Hess of language that was his be pic tured the actual transporting of the royal family and all tbe paraphernalia of government across tbe Atlantic.' tbe pageantry of tbe ships and tbe gor geous landing and tbe setting op of tbe throne at Washington. "While Stevenson was talking Mr Williams came In. Ha looked doubt fully from Mrs. Williams to tbe stran ger, for, as be told bis wife afterward, be thought a tramp bad got In and sbe could nut get hlui out again. But It was only for a moment and soon the two men were talking with all tbe In terest and pleasure of those who feel Docb In common, and from that day began a friendship that never ended until tbe death of Virgil Wllllama"-Bookman.

Coffee is tbe national drink aud Is more largely con sumed by fur thau any other beverage But tea drinking is making great strides, the reason for which Is not bard to Ond. The advantages of tea ever coffee as a stimulating and cbeer Ing drink do not consist In a superiori ty of Its component parts, but in tbe fact that a good tea can be more easily produced than a good coffee and that It la more easily made than coffee. A very great deal of tbe virtue of coffee consists iu the manner in which It is converted into a beverage, and seldom Is tbe art cs tried out efficiently Many of the concoctions which are sold aa coffee In restaurants and consumed in private bouses are not worthy of tbe name On tbe other hand, tea Is easily made, the chief point being? that tbe water used for tbe infusion bolls and that tbe Infnsinu is drunk when fresh and not allowed to taud. However, there are occasions, and these not Infrequent, when tea drink ing is harmful Tea poisoning la a more or lens ,-uiDmuo condition la those countries In which the habit of drink Ing tea Is prevalent as in England, for Instance.
