GUrEAU now thinks that Garfield
was not born to be killed by bullet,
and that it will be of no use for any
one to try to kill him. He thinks God
has ordained that the President shall
not be killed and says that for this
reason he would not try again to kill
him If he had chance. Guiteau's
resignation to the will of God in this
matter is truly touching.

IT IS related that when Lewis
Stephens, shortly after laying off the
plat for Stephensburg, (now Stephens
City, was engaged in erecting the
handsome brick building on the N. E.
corner of Main and Central streets,
and for years known as the "Old Tenn
perance House" had ins his employ
ayoung journeyman mason, who super
intended the mixing of the morter to
be used in the erection of the building
Finding that Mr.. Stephens had pur-
chased an insufficient quantity of lime
he informed him that the quality of
the morter would not be such as he
Would use in the erection Of such q
house. Whereupou Mr.. Stephens,
turning short upon the young work
man, said II wish you to use the ma
terial I have purchased whether it
answers the purpose is my business,
not yours; and mounting his horse
he rode off.
Not needing the command Of his
employer he purchased the desired
amount Of lime that was in truth nee
essery to make the mortar. Stephens,
being much employed in his business,
paid for the extra amount of lime,
without really knowing that he did So
and was not little surprised when his
mason handed him bill of the extra
lime purchased and desired him tc
charge to his account.
"Why did you disobey my orders
sir? I am able to pay for the lime
use. The house is mine, and it make
no difference to you how much lime
use." Said tStephens somewhat Sc
verely.
"But the job was mine, sir, wha
ever is worth my while to do, is wort
my while to do right, even if I hav
to do it for nothing"
Some years after the episode her
related, Mr.. Stephens received a let
ter from a friend in Washington, en-
quiring for reliable mason to super
intend the building of several of tn
finest private houses in the city. Hay
ing since then employed many mechan
les, Mr.. Stephens could think of non
so thoroughly reliable as the youn
journeyman that had mixed his mo-
ter, and him he Immediately recon
mended. In Washington he soon di'
tinguished himself for his reliability
and afterwards became one of tn
famous contractors of the Nation
Capitol.

OF the many criticisms on the Ia
bors uf our recent Legislature, more
are adverse, perhaps, than other
wise. A Portland exchange says
the session was long, tedious and
we'll nigh barren of good results,
adding with a sigh that could almost
be heard between the lines, "The
world is governed too much" An
other exchange remarks that if the
session had continued much longer,
Congress would have had to pass an
act repeating the whole business,
and adds that the result proves some
men to be more successful in man.
aging caucuses than making laws.
Still another comments disparaging
" upon the mental calibre of the
members, etc. Some of the work
done Yves doubtless more or less
creditable, among which was the re-
vision and codi6cation of the laws
providing the job proves to have
been as well done as the Dragging
would indicate. But much was &C
complished deserving OF censure.
The old, sectional feeling was in
famed, and the breach widened; the
charge of gross Inconsistencies in
regard to financial disbursements, so
freely made by newspapers, WAS by
no means unmerited; an attempt
was made 10 do serious and lasting
injustice to Western Washington by
an apportionment bill taking largely
from her ratio of Legislative repre-,
sentation and giving to the Eastern
section accordingly; we are credita-
bly, informed that this last move was
only foiled by Representative Kuhn
who manfully threw himself in the
breach and secured justice, for all
of which he deserves the thanks OF
his constituents. Perhaps the most
outrageously peurile acts of our leg
islators, however, were those where
by much needed aid was refused so
worthy q territorial institution as the
University, and our pilot law was re-
pealed. The ARGUS took q lively
interest in the enactment of a prop
er and efficient pilot law, and it will
see that the stigma of the miserable
failure by the Council to meet the
requirements OF commerce shall rest
where it belongs, on the shoulders
of Messrs. Hovey, Evans and Miller.
Kuhn introduced the new pilot bill
twice in the House, twice it passed
that body without dissenting vote.
and twice was it killed in the Coun-
ell; and then, to complete the Job,
the latter passed an act repeating
the old law, which act the House
passed IN hopes, we are told, that the
councilmen would not dare to 90
home without any law at all upon
the subject. Mr.. Kuhn accomplish
ed all that his constituents could ask
OF hIm in the marIer, but the mem
bers of the Cenhcil particularly the
three mentioned) will find if they
ever aspire to reelection. that the
people have memories.

IortT send.N W. FRIDAY Der No

OUR Clallam County friends will
be pleased to learn that the obnox-
ious hog law, about which they have
been so much dissatisfied, was re-
pealed just before the close of the
legislative session. Being satisfied
from personal knowledge that the
measure WAS desired by but a few
residents of that county, and they OF
but one precinct at that, and that
the Representative had been i'm
posed upon in the matter, the editor
of this paper called attention to 1t
publicly and then wrote letter to
Mr.. Kuhu, stating the facts. ! hat
gentleman, anxious to serve his con
stituents fairly and faithfully, and
seeing the error he had been led in'
to, had the law repealed. Although
lhe law would not have been very
oppressive, on account of the mild
ness of its terms, yet nearl y all in
the county desired no restrictions oi
the kind at all. The result showed
that if dissatisfied people would on
ly make their wants known in the
proper way and time they would be
acting more sensibly than by doing
nothing but growl. The law in
question would hardly have been
respected with obedience had it res
mained in force, but it is far better
out of the way.
