convention TO be held in Huron on the
18th, 10th and goth of the present month
is designed by President Loucks as a
meeting purely in the interest Of the
peculiar politics Of the head of the ALI
ance- gathering at which he win en-
deavor to soIidify himself at the expense
Of others. 1t is movement ostensibly
outside o, politics FOR the simple reason
that Loucss as a Democrat cannot expect
to reach IN elective position through the
suffrsges Of his party. Republican farmers
can best serve their party and their con-
science by repudiating this movement.

CENSUS REPORT.

THE INTERIoRI Nav I, 1889.

DEPARTMENT OF WASHINGTON ID. c.,
THE INTeRIoRJ May l, 1889.
TO the Medical Profession The yari-
ous medical associations and the medical!
profession win be glad to learn that DIR.
Iobn 8. Billings, Surgeon U. q. Army, has
consented to take charge Of the report ON
the Mortality and Vital Statistics of the
United States as returned by the Eleventh
Census.
As the United States has no system OF
registration of vital statistics, such as is
relied upon by other civilized nations for
the purpose OF ascertaining the actual
movement Of population, our census affords
the only opportunity of obtaining near an
approximate estimate of the birth and
death rates Of much the larger part Of the
country, which is entirely unprovided with
any satisfactory system of State and
municipal registration.
In view OF this, the Census Office, during
the month OF May this year. will issue to
the medical profession througout the coun-
try physicians Registers for the pur-
pose of obtaining more accurate returns of
deaths than is possible for The enumeraiors
to make. 1t is earnestly hoped that physi-
clans in every part of the country will CO.
operate with the Census Office in this i'm
portart work. The record should be kept
from June l, 1889, to May 81, 1890.
Nearly 10000 of these registration books
we're filled up and returned TO the Office
in 1880, and nearly all of them used for
statistical purposes. It is hoped that
double this number will be obtained for
the Eleventh Census.
Physicians not receiving Register can
obtain them by sending their names and
addresses 10 the Census Office, and. with
the Register, an official envelope which re-
quires no stamp will be provided for their
return to Washington.
| IL all medical and surgical practitioners
throughout the country will lend their
aid. the mortality and statistics of the
Eleventh Census win be more comprshen-
sive and complete than they have ever
been. Every physician should take a
personal pride in having this report as full
and accurate as it is possible to make it.
1t is hereby promised that all informa-
tion obtained through this source shall be
held strictly confidential.
