WHY NOT !--Why can we not
have an establishment in Port Town
send, where clothes may be cleaned
and dyed? Such places are com.
mon in both large and small cities,
and, besides being a public conven-
fence, are always source of greater
or less profit to their propristors.
We frequently hear the remark that
the "store- clothes" one buys now
a-days are usually so poorly dyed
that they soon fade and look rusty.
The process of cleaning and dyeing
such garments is simple and easy,
and would make them look as good
as new. The logwood and copperas
are not at all expensive, so that the
main cost would be for the labor of
the party doing the job. This being
the case, it can readily be seen that
even a comparatively light run of
trade would be remunerative to the
workman. A gentleman of our &C.
quaintance says: ~ knew of one dye
house near Boston, which was cele-
brated as was also its proprietors.
Joseph Barrett & Son made large
fortune-and the elder Barrett COM
menced in a small way by cleaning,
repairing ard dyeing garments, both
for ladies and gentlemen" This
may, and doubtless would, prove a
lucrative industry in Port Townsend,
because, if it were properly carried
on, not only the home trade would
be secured but orders would soon
come in from other parts of the
Sound, Many garments, though lit
tie worn, are laid aside, given away,
or sold for a mere song at the auc.
ton room-simply because they may
have become soiled or faded. This
would not be, to any extent, if peo-
pie were to find that by investing a
dollar or two for renovating pur-
poses they could still wear their gar
ments without consciousness of be-
ing shabbily dressed. We commend
this subject to our tailsrs and dress
makers who may even now be cast
ing about for ways in which to in
crease their business.

Our attention has been kindly
called to the fact that the word Quill.
lehute is hardly ever spelled or pro-
nounced properly by white people.
1t is commonly pronounced Quil-ly-
yute, accenting the last syllable; and
it has been spelled in various ways,
as, Quileut, Quilleute, Quillyhute,
Quiliyute, &c., according to the fan
cy of the writer. The native Indians,
who named the river from their own
language, pronounce it Quil-leh-ute,
strongly accsnting the second sylla-
BILE, and giving the first the sound
ola. Our treaty with them gives the
word Quillshute, in the indeavor to
spell it just as it is pronounced. The
letters of our alphabet are intended
to DO arranged SO as to express GER
tain sounds; when we adopt an In
dian name we must also adopt the
Indian pronunciation, hence, in
spelling an Indian word, we must
use those letters which will give the
nearest to the original sound. 1t is
hoped, in order to prevent the de-
gensracy of our language, that the
word will hereafter be spelled and
pronounced both uniformly and
properly.

UNION AcADEMY.-This institu-
tion, located in Olympia, was the
subject Of inimical criticism in re-
cent issue Of the Standard" of that
place. The article bears unmistaka-
BILE evidence OF the "rula or ruinn
spirit on the part Of the writer; that
the chief reason for its peculiarly
eaustic tones lies in the fact that
somebody didn't have "a finger in

1T appears that the settlers in San

protect their property, soma OF them

KALLocH is elected Mayer Of San
Francisco, by majority of nearly
thousand. The shooting affray, in
which he came so near losing his
life, secured his election-because of
large number who imagined him a
martyr. A copy of the S. F. Week.
ly "lndex," of Aug. 2Sth, gives the
exact language used by Kalloch,
which provoked the assault. 1t cites
facts also to prove that Kalloch in.
tended to attack the DoYonngs and
their mother before the elder Kal.
lock was attacked by the "Chronicle'.
Whether this be true or not, the Lam
guage used proves the newly elect
ed Mayor to be man of brutal and
fifty instincts; a man who is not on
ly a disgrace to the Christian minis
try but to the society that tolerates
him. We do not propose to defend
DeYoung's action in shooting the
villi6er of his mother, because one
wrong action does not justify anoth-
er; but ifhs had tamely submitted he
would have been despissd as one
who had not spirit and manliness
enough to defend the honor and rep.
utation of his hel lpless female rcla-
tives. Kallock's language was so
vile and revolving that it would have
disgraced brothel, and the fact that
he was elected Mayor of San Fran.
cisco after its use in public speech,
indicates a prevailing influence on
the side of low morals in that city.

Mrs. Il. P. w. Packard, late Of
Illinois, has canvassed Port Town
send this week, and secured large
number Of names to certificate
expressing disapproval of censorship
over the private correspondence OF
any inmate of an insane asylum.
Mrs. P. claims, and very justly too,
that the present system renders it
possible for Superintendents Of asy.
lums to greatly abuse their power.
Giving her own experience as an il.
lustration,she shows very clearly how
person could be incarcerated
(where the superintendent could be
bribed) and all earthly hope of re.
lief cut off. Since her release few
years ago she has labored in about
fifteen states and territories, and se-
cured bills favoring her views in
about dozen cases. She willat-
tend the sitting OF our Legislature
this fall and make at attempt to have
the law changed. She claims, with
good reason, that although our ter.
ritorial asylum is in excellent hands
there is nothing in the way of cure
that will equal prevention.

AS theirs is the only town in the
county where strikes can successfully y
overawe the law and the military, as
was done in July, 1877, certainly, by
