THE HEALTH QUESTION.

SEATTLE, March LIST, 1877.
Mr.. ED1roR.--Permit me through
your columns to state, for the in
formation of the Mayor, Health Of
ficer and City Physician of Seattle,
that the ordinance relating to infec-
tious diseases was complied with by
me. I ascertained about half past
six o'clock P. NJ. that Mr.. Lowell had
the smallpox. About ten r. M,
Mr.. John Jameson, at my request,
notified the Mayor of the city, and
Health officer, that Mr.. Lowell was
elected from his boarding touse,
and had nowhere to go to for the
night, and that he was broken out
with smallpox.
They both, that is the Mayor and
Health officer, refused to have any
thing to do with the case before the
next morning, when the Health Of
ficer was running one way, and the
Mayor another to find the case of
smallpox which was already at Ta-
coma.
Ihold the Mayor and Health Of
ficer directly responsible for intro
ducing the smallpox into Tacoma.
Had they done their duty here, it
need not have spread beyond our
limits. JOHN BAKER,

APrivate Inauguration.

The fear and perturbation which
fills the soul of the Mock Duke who
is shortly to occupy the White
House, cannot fail to impress the
student Of history with disgust.
Conscious of the fact that he has
been beaten for the Presidency by
more than quarter of million Of
votes; knowing that his only claim
to the seat honored by the illustri-
GUS successors of Washington, is
the corrupt and venal return of the
Louisiana pirates; and full of terror
that an exasperated populace would
not stand ta1nely by and tolerate the
mocke-y of free government, Mister
Hayes is to be privately inaugurated
on Sunday next.
We are told that this secret vii
hiny, which shuns the broad day
light, is to be consummated on Sun
day at noon in ore of the parlors of
the White House at Washington, in
the presence of the retiring Presi-
dent and his Cabinet. There will
be the tinkling of little bell, as
in the days when Seward ordered
men to Fort Lafayette; and then the
gaping multitude will be informed
that the usurper who has been cleo
ted to the accustomed place of q
statesman, by the bayonets Of brutal
hirelings. and by the venality
of the murderer Wells and the
negro bastard Kenner. is Presi
dent of the United States = God
save the mark!
There is remedy and a legal one
without resorting to violence. The
House of Representatives has the
power to break down military rule
IN America, henceforth and forever.
Under the Constitution all appro-
priation bills must originate in the
lower House of Congress and with
out their sanction no money can be
drawn from the Federal Treasury.
Let them reduce the army appropria-
tions so that but .fre thousand men in
all can be maintained as standing
army. The Indian troubles on the
frontier will demand nearly all OF
these and the rotten gang in Wash
ington will then have no hireling
bayonets to do their dirty work in
Southern elections. Therefore, the
Democracy will soon be masters of
the Senate, as we'll as the House.
This will give us Democratic Pre-
sident in 1880 and for that we can
afford to wait.

1t seems like criminal folly to talk
about armed resistance to the inausura-
tion of Hayes, as President of the Uni
ted States. True, we do not believe he
ever was elected, nor do we believe that
he really thinks so himself. But the
Democratic party favored the Electoral
Commission and row it should abide
the result. An outbreak of revolutions
ary demonstration would put us back
where we we're, fifteen years ago. Let
us endure the outrage with decorous
silence and give the Radical Ioguse
rope enough with which to hang them
selves. Hayes has never been heard to
utter a word of condemnation against
the corruption of Grants administra-
ton. which is good proof that his own
will be infinite ly worse.

The Oregon papers have not had their
usual semi-annual growl, this winter,
as to whether the second river in that
State should be spelt Willamette or
Wallamet. In few years hence, when
the grain exports OF the Skagit river run
up into the hundreds of thousands,
then We shall have like controversy as
to whether it shall be spelt Skagit or
Skadget. Billy Ballou will probably do
the contrary business for the latter stvle
of orthography. in the hope of being
made United States Circuit Judge af-
ter the admission OF the Territory into
the Union.

It would seem, after all, that the fail :.
ure. of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company to complete their road to the
Pacific waters within the time originally
named in their charter. is not going to
result in the total isolation of Oregon
from railroad communication with the
East. The Portland Standard stetes on
the authority Of no less person than
Governor Chadwick, that as soon as the
new steel rails are laid upon the Union
Pacific road between Ogden and Omaha,
that company will commence to lay the
old iron of their present road upon a
narrow gauge track to be built from
Ogden to Walla Walla. -This is good
1ews for Oregon and Eastern Washing
ipgton. if true.
Jay Gould is the controlling spAit of
the Union Pacific road and has had
cause more than once TO complain OF
the "dcg in the manger" policy Of the
Central Pacific magn ates. And if the
conversation of that gentleman with
Mr. Willard, OF the Oregon and Cali
fornia road is correctly rey orted by our
contemporaries, he is preparing for a
revenge BY which the Union Pacific will
soon secure for itself and it's propose t
branch. all the passenger traffic OF Mon
tana, Idaho and the Eastern portions OF
Oregon and Washington. We have had
so many sensational rumors # this
scrt. that we are inclined to take all
such statements with grain Of allow
apce. Stii' we hope it IL true,
Gould has the money, if he sees tit
to 1nves. it in that way. OF course the
carrying trade of the road would be
large, coming west. The question Is
whether the eastward carrying trade
would amount TO anything 1t does not
nav to run trains both ways for what
compensation comes in for carrying
freight and passengers but one way. 1t
is said that two hundred miles of the
road can and will be built during the
present year. Under ordinary circnm
stances, 1t lakes as long to build one
hundred miles of narrow gauge road rs
seventy of broad-gauge. Should Gould
conclude to bring his road to tide water

| Joseph Il. Thompson, will soon call on our citi-
zens to collect such contributions as they may
be disposed to give. A circular setting forth
the objects and work OF the Association Will
first be left, and donations should be placed in
the accompanying envelope As is well known
this Association is one of the Oldest and most
efficient of our charitable organizations. Last
year it assisted 1927 persons, expanding therefor
Sl176.SO. Its officers, with the exception of the
collecting agent. work without pay, 90 that its
expenses are very small, and almost Its entire
receipts can be devoted to charitable purposes.
The rooms of the Association ara in the base
ment of the City Building, the entrance being
on Myrtle street, and are open from II to - a.
M on each secular day from December to April
to attend to the calls of the needy. Thorough
investigation IS made in each case. and the de-
serving poor never go empty away. 1t is to be
hoped that our citizens will literally respond to
the call this society makes upon them. Win
ter Is last approaching, and there are many per-
sons 10 our city who, through no fault of theirs.
must inevitably suffer from cold and hunger un-
less assisted by charity. All such have claims
upon the wealthy and the well-to-do, which
ought not to be disregarded, and the best way
to discharge them is by contributing to charita-
bic institutions, which have better means of
knowing the wants of the poor and how best to
relieve them than most individuals can. One
word of caution. There is society called the
Female Provident Association, which should
not be COMPOUNDED with the Portland Provident
Association, as has frequently been done. 1t is
worthy association and deserves all the sup
plies it receives, but persons have sometimes
contributed to it when it was their intention to
give to the other, the similarity of name pro-
duciug confusion.
