The Pioneers.

Hon. Frank Henry, secretary of the
Pioneer Association of Washington Ter
ritory, in a letter to Major j. ]. II. Van
Bokkelen announces that the annual
meeting of the pioneers, which usually
takes place in June, will this year be
held in Olympia on the fourth day OF
July, to give the pioneers opportunity to
meet the state delegation and solemnly
ratify the change from territory to a
state. As this is a privilege which can
occur but once in the history OF our
state, it becomes every pioneer, man wo-
man and child, to be in Olympia on that
day. A delegation will come from Walla
Walla, and every county east of the
mountains, and they will be met by the
pioneers of every county in Western
Washington.
1t will be memorable day, and those of
our pioneers who have lived through all
our territorial existence, may well feel
proud that they can hail the land, where
they have 30 long lived as mere colonists
and DISTINGUISHED Americans, as terri
tory, now a full state with every right
that belongs to an American citizen.
The Pioneer meeting at Olympin need
have no effect upon the celebration of the
of the Fourth by our citizens. The sur
viying pioneers are too few in number to
cause a perceptible diminution in the
crowds which will remain, but We ad-
wise all the pioneers who can, to be sure
to attend the gathering in Olympia. and
We advise the remaining great buik Of
our citizens to have as good time here

The Chamber of Commerce in tax
ing up the question of our postal
service and telegraphic system, is
acting wisely, for if thersi is anything
that needs rectifying it is our postal
and telegraphic facilities.
OF the two. which is the worst
We are not prepared to say. Our
experience with the present tole-
graphic system has been such, that
we, for one, would urge the commit
tee appointed by the Chamber of
Commerce to lose no opportunity of
either inducing the Western Union
to come here or raise capital to start
another line. Something must be
done and that soon. The matter has
already been permitted to slumber
longer than it should have been.
The Chamber of Commerce is to
be highly commended in this matter.
We can assure our citizens that the
new organization is determined to do
all In its power to advance Port
Townsend's welfare, and the quss-
tions heretofore named are only a
few OF the many that organization
intend agitating.

A number of papers in the terrific
ry have been harping upon the ques-
ton of Governor Moore's connection
with railroads. Mr.. Moore in his re-
marks at the reception given in his
honor at Olympia firmly and posi-
lively states that, he has not a
dollar in railroads, but that he be-
lieves in their being held reasonably
in check by wise Interstate com
merce law, supplemented by judici-
GUS state restriction. These are not
the words of man who is controlled
by railroad corporation, and this
statement of his shows conclusively,
to fair minded thinking people, that
the charges OF the press throughout
the territory, that he was tool of
the Northern Pacific railroad com-
pany, to be lie. The people of the
territory can depend on one fact, and
that is this, that Governor Moore
will not be the tool of any corpora
tioD, ring or Clique, but that he will
be governor for the benefit of the en-
tire territory.

in the following composition on anatomy :

he replied, 'Ikey Einstein." Brother

The cave of the winds, otherwise
known as the United States Senate,
blew off too much wind when they
rejected Murat Halstead. The SEN
ate is a body of considerable im~
portance, but not so much as to be
able to bridlo the press. Their late
action puts one in mind of a little
boy who was being imposed upon by
his companion, and who retorted,
You stop that or l Will tell my ma"
The senate Will need to but commit
this folly once more when the Ameri-
cans will abolish the body entirely.
Nowadays only those with well

Our citizens should aid in every
possible way the design of having a
celebration on the Fourth. Unless
the celebration can be made sue
cess there is no use beginning, and
and success can only be assured
by the united support OF our citizens.
A celebration conducted in a proper
manner will be good advertisement
for this place. To strangers it will
be an evidence that there is some
'go" and push about the business
men of Port Townsend. There are
large number of people, who will,
if the celebration here is made worth
their while, come and visit our city.
If the affair is to be "Cheap John"
one in character, our citizens might
as we'll drop the natter now. Unless
a sufficient amount is raised which
will warrant the committee in gong
ahead, and having q celebrate ID
worthy the name, we for one would
advise that we do not celebrate.

The question of celebrating the
Fourth is one that should receive the
attention of every business man in
Port Townsend, not only should the
matter be looked al in a patriotic
sense. but also in a commercial one.
If our citizens will only be energetic
and take hold of this question in a
manner in which they should, they
will find that they have advertised
their city Ear better than anything
that they could do. There are hun
dreds Of people in the neighboring
towns who will, if our citizens
make it worth their while, come here
on the Fourth. Some may say that
it is too early. The old Rdage ''the
carly bird catches the worm" can be
applied in this matter effectively. for
the reason that the sooner it is known
that we are going to celebrate, the
sooner will it prevent some of our
smaller towns from formulating
plans for that purpose, prefering,
as they will, to come here, where the
celebration will be on larger scale.
We hope that our words have not
fallen on barren soil, but onsproduc-
tive soil and that the outcome viii
be glorious, successful celebration
upon the day OF our independence.

The Victoria Colonist comes to us
bearing marks of mourning, for one
of the most prominent men of Brit
ish Columbia, the late Robert Duns-
muir. The Colonist editorially says:
Every inhabitant of the province

in the Hon. Robert Dunsmuir. Ev-
cry British Columbian to-day feels
ihat he has lost friend. 1t will be
found that British Columbia has lost

public-spirited citizen, and the COM
munity a man who did his duty in
every relation of life manfully and
conscientiously. Shall we ever see

sympathetic friend to those who
needed help. He had bright smile
and cheering words for those who
were disheartened. which made the
material help he was ever ready to
extend all the more precious. 1t will

given to aid those who were less for

If the Republicans had moved on

in the same numbers and with the
same fierce determination as in 1889
the war would have ended in ninety

The above is taken from an eI-
change, who evidently desired to be
facetious, for their is not anything

Considerable dissatisfaction has

accounts OF the immensely amount

half dozen advertising men from
other cities. The papers here ma
turally felt that the support which
properly belonged to them was he
ing gwen to cities and men who did
not care snap of their finger for

do not have a metropolitan Journal
published here. Do our citizens re-
allze what it costs to run paper7

Seattle claims a population of 49,

the past year Verify the just pros
per. Seattle is to-day the leading

who have every confidence in the flu
