HOW PETITIONS ARE TREATED,

Petitioning to Congress is about as
senseless as baying at the moon, and il
those who send them should witness
the treatment they receive this kind Of
folly would cease. After much trouble,
labor and many times considerable ex-
pense, q petition upon some subject,
either local or general, will be circu-
lated, signed by more or less, and sent
to . Congressman or Senator for pre-.
sentation. Those who have signed il,
as we'll as those who have gone to
the trouble Of circulating it, expect it
to be read in Congress, sent to a
proper committee and carefully consid-
cred. This, however, is not the case.
II the Congressman .or Senator sees
ct to present ii at all he will rise in
his seat during the hurry Of the morn.
ing hour and say he has a petition
from John Jones and others for certain
objects, and almost before the words
are spoken the Speaker or Vice Presi.
dent has referred it to a committee, and
the petition is never heard of again ex-
oept in rare instances. They are usu.
ally sent to the committee rooms. and
from there to the furnace, or to some
dark room in the basement Of the cap.
itol, to be destroyed later on. This is
the fate of petitions sent to Congress.
They do no good, and as q rule are
treated with contempt. They are never
read, neither are they opened and the
signatures examined in one case out Of
a thousand. Moral: Don't send paper
petitions; send live ones instead. Ma

ORArORY In THE SENATE.

In discussing what ID terms "the de-
cadence Of oratory" the New YORK
Evening Post asks: '0f what avail il
genuine reputation as IN orator to-day
in securing . United States Senator
shipf"
The question is pertinent. Oratory in
the Senate has declined since the million.
aire has been able to control legislative
caucuses and secure election to the SEN
ate over men of pronounced oratorical
ability. Brice in Ohio and Farwell in
Illinois, the one Q Democrat and the
other . Republican, defeated men Of pro-
nounced ability as orators and publicists.
They are mentioned as instances only,
for they are but two of many men Of
great wealth who in the last ten years
have found their way into the United
States Senate by the caucus road.
Oratory is not an indispensable requi-
site Of distinguished public service. but
it will not escape notice that one of the
best orators in the Senate at present is
Senator Palmer of Illinois. who, elected

of tariff reform, has done yeoman SER

KANSAS IS ALL RIGHT.
Election of the Republican
 State Ticket Sure.
The State Committee Now Giving
 ton of the Legislature.

By the Associated Press.
 TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 26.-It is un- officially announced at Republican headquarters today that the committee will devote the rest of the campaign principally to the fight for the legisla- ture. The Republicans claim that they have already won the state ticket, and what little work is necessary to hold it may be done in the legislative districts. Speakers will continue to stump the state on the line marked out early in the campaign, but they can get along without any further aid from the committee, leaving it free to CO., operate with the county committees in the legislative districts.
 Special work will be done in the close counties, and during October the real hard work of the campaign will take place. The Re- publicans claim that the Populists also have adopted this line of policy, not because they are sure of electing their state ticket. but because they hope that by looking after the legislative districts and calling upon every pos. sible vote they can save the state ticket.

A New Ordinance for the Proper
 Care Of Them.
 City Engineer Dunn yesterday fur nished profile for the street grade to be esta ablished on Washington street between Third and Seventh Avenues. The matter will be incorporated into an ordinance which will likely be present. ed at the next regular meeting next Monday night. The council will also likely consider blanket ordinance for the better maintenance of the streets. The present laws are said to be inade- quate to keep the streets in proper con dition. The new ordinance will con- tain not only the ordinary provisions for the care of streets but will define more particularly the rights of indi- viduals with relation to thoroughfares. It is said that it will order the removal of all hanging street signs as dangerous and unsightly and will greatly modify the privileges now enjoyed by mer- chants in the matter of displaying goods upon the sidewalks.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-Dr. Thos. E. Tynan. a Modesto physician and capitalist, whom the courts have de- clared dead and whose estate has been distributed among his relatives, ar rived in San Francisco this morning. Though pale and slightly emaciated the aged gentleman appeared in fairly good health.
 He said that he had been in Boston all the time since his disappearance and that the reason for his sudden leav. ing over two years ago was to avoid the annoyance of litigation begun by his step-daughters to recover property which they alleged belonged to them, funds belonging to their deceased fathers estate having been appropriated by Tynan, as they claimed. There was an affectionate meeting between the doctor and his present wife who has been searching for hlm for over two years. The old man said that he would probably never have returned had not the spiritualist Slater discovered hlm in Boston and brought him on to Rino. Slater, who claims to have been guided by the spirits, claims the $5,OOO reward offered by Mrs. Tynan.
