WESTINGHOUSE TEMPER.

Yesterday the country honored the
memory of Washington by an ap-
propriate observance of the anniver-
sary of his birthday. He was man
slow to wrOth and of admirable temper.
But it is said that when he did lose
his hold on himself that he was a cy-
clone of huge proportions. There has
been unearthed an epistle which in
dicateS that the man who couldn't
tell a lie could blow a whimpering
Scoundrel sky-high. A fellow named
George Muse who had served under
Lawrence Washington in the Indian
campaign, for which he claimed a
grant Of land, which Washington had
been put to much trouble to secure,
wrote q complaining letter. That
letter is not in existence, but this is
WashingtOn's reply:
'Sir:-Your impertinent letter was de-
livered to me yesterday. AS 1 am not
accustomed to receive such from any
man, nor would have taken the same
language from you personally, without
letting you feel some marks Of my re-
sentiment, I advise you to be cautious in
writing me a second of the same tenor;
for though I understand you was drunk
when you did il, yet give me leave to
tell you that drunkenness is no excuse
for rudeneSS. But for your stupidity and
sottishness, you might have known, by
attending to the public gazette, that you
had your full quantity of ten thousand
acres of land allowed you; that is, nine
thousand and seventy-three acres in the
great tract, and the remainder in the
small tract.
But suppose you had really fallen
short, do you think your superlative merit
entities you to greater indulgence than
others? Or, If it did, that 1 was to make
ii good to you, when it was at the option
of the Governor and the Council to allow
but five hundred acres in the whole, if
they had been so inclined? If either of
these should happen to be your opinion
I am very well convinced that you will be
singular in it; and all my concern is that
ever engage myself in behalf of so I'M
grateful and dirty a fellow as you are"

The more that wonderful weapon
the petition-is studied the more it i'm
presses one with being a gigantic
fraud. The Resubmissionists recently
submitted a massive petition TO the
state legislature, and he Prohibitionists
did likewise. Neither petition will
have any weight with the legislature.
1t is not the fault OF the petition that
Ii has so little weight. The fault is
with the men who sign petitions.
Everybody signs petitions 1t is Il
mall favor to grant and it is always
granted, whether the sigper agrees
with the purpose OF the petition or
not \ man will sign petition for
something that he would work all
election day 10 defeat at the polls.
Consequently the fallacious element
in petitions has weakened the power
of petitions. 1t can be remedied by
every man refusing to sign any peti-
ton but that with which he is in
hearty sympathy. and for which he
would cast his vote. Until this is done
a signature Will not receive the consid-
eTation that ballot does.

RIGHT OF PETITION IN KANSAS.

The dispatches inform us that the
names of forty-odd thousand Kansas
voters were presented to the Kansas
legislature on Tuesday last asking
that body to resubmit the question Of
prohibition.
The founders Of the government de-
clared that the right of petition should
never be denied. 1t came to pass,
long ago, in this country, however,
that unless petition was the recog-
nized mandate of a big majority the
place for it was pigeon-hole.
The petition to the Kansas legisla-
ture was pigeon-hOled, but not with
sighting remarks and sneers.
Forty thousand votes, compared to
the total vote of either Of the political
parties of Kansas, or to the entire vote
of the state, is a significant number.
Forty thousand voters acting in uni
son, could make or undo any party in
the state.
Some party, some day, out of down.
right selfishness, is going to heed the
prayers of petitioners and then there
will be fun, sore fun.

Romance of a Petrified Man.

From the Enid Wave
The people Of Enid viii remember the
petrified man exhibited in Enid last sum-
mer, advertised as being unearthed near
Hennessey. It was afterwards exposed
as a fraud, the man having been mould
ed in Eennessey. q full account of which
appeared in the Hennessey Clipper. Now
il turns out that said handsomely moulded
petriication was wholly conceived in the
mind of genius man, and, manufactured
by the genius, was taken 10 a point on
the river near Waco, Tex, and buried.
An old lady was fishing on the banks OF
said river, and in setting her fishing pole
accidently struck the petrifed man in the
mouth and he kicked. The old man
came to the reSuce and they dug MIN out
Now there is a law suit in Texas over
the ownership of the petrihed man, the
old woman claims him by discovery, the
man who owns the land claims him, the
county claims him for the historical So
ciety and the state of Texas has put
in a claim, but in the meantime the whole
state is being taken in at 10 cents head
TO see the wonder, under the supervision
of the genius who created the great Pet
rifed man.

THERE IS AN UNDER RUMBLE.

The present legislature will probably
go down in history as the great anti
gambling assembly of Kansas. If the
people of the state had been signally
.. disgraced by its horse-racing tenden-
cies or if the gambling fraternity had
become oppressive, threatening the lib
critics and morals of the people, the
present legislatures page Of history
would probably prove exceptionally
bright. However the church fair nor
the county fair must longer counten-
ance any games of chance whatever
their character. and social card games
must steer clear Of prizes and the
like. Kansas has no Wall streets.
no stock exchanges or boards of trade
for option dealings and betting against
the prices of the future. but it was
assumed, and it may have been cor
rectly, that the people of the state
were showing q universal tendency
to reckless gambling, SO the reform
legislature, of which we We're prom
ised SO much in platform and on the
stump, set about to everlastinly squelch
gambling in all its forms. Something
had to be done, and it has been. and
in signal way. We do not recall
whether it was three or five anti
gambling bills, but whatever the num-
Der they have all been passed and
signed. AS for what is to become of
all the demands in the platform, all
our promises made by the party papers
together with the recommendations
of the governor, it would probably be
impertinent to enquire. But there is
an under rumble which pOrtendS no
good and which will mean a heap OF
trouble when the chances of the next
reason why the people should not
Even conceding that there might pos
sibly be found excuses for ignoring
the promises Of the party, or some
reason why the people should not
have been trusted to say whether they
wanted a new constitution or not. who
is going to satisfactorily explain the
neglect of the universal demand for
a new tax law? If the present ses-
sion had failed in everything, but
given the people an equitable and just
law for the assessment and collection
of taxes, in the place of the incon-
gruous and unequal patchwork under
which some go scott free while others
are robbed, there would have been left
a chance for explanation.
But it has not and the under rumble
