EDIToE ARGUS
/ DEAR SIR:-You may have heard of
somewhat notorious sheet Published il
this place called the Commonwealth. 1
is edited by cowardIy fellow knowf
! hereabouts as Dr.. L. 5. Lewis. l cal
him cowardly because he il very flip
pant IN blaci:gueFdism aud !a!Sehcod re-
gaEdinS those who may displease him
but very careful to retire into his COW.
ards castle and decline 70 publish any
req to his pTevarications and ISLANDERS
In his last paper of May 18th he gives
me the post of honor aud delivers him
self in this wise: 1T our advises are
correct Clallam county may thank
HInckley for being left without rerre
santation at Olympia next JuIy. 1t
looks very much rs If the would lie Cla!-
lam boss was very anxious we should he
represented in the constitutional conven-
ton provided he was the representative.
Considering that he is Socialist friend,
HInckley is developing some rare polIti-
cal traits"
In reply to this, l would sag, it IS
quite painful to Bro. Lewis, know. TO
have become so very unpopular that be
did not dare offer his Dame as a candi-
date for the convention for which he has
been hopefully training for the last six
months. But discretion being the bet
ter part Of valor, and feeling sure he
could not get a dozen votes in any
county where he is known, he has mod
estly withheld his name But he means
to have it out with ne for exposing some
OF his peculiarities and crooked ways.
He says am Il socialist. Last week &C.
coTdiIg to the Dr., was an Anarchist.
Here DOW is marked Improvement, and
if the DR.. gees en- at this rate will soon
be respectable man aud worthy member
of some free love community ofwhich the
DR.. will be the leading spirit. But with
ont further allusiou to the Dr.'s peculiar
tiles further than to say it is not strange
that he should feel sore, inasmGch US tie
people of Port Angeles in public meet
ing assembled have condemned with
scarcely dissenting Voice his apparent
aiding and abettipg of the separation of
wives from their husbands. 1 would
warn all parsons that they must take all
statements which the DR.. may make in
regaId to myself with many grains of al
lowaucc bccause he is on the wag-path
so far as am concerned. His paint and
his feathers, rs we'll as his feelings, are
of very lurid hue, and you may be sure
that he is the man who means business.
Were he in his right mind and suscapti-
bic 10 the Influence Of Ioason, l should
answer very differently, tu, know him
too well 10 expect him to be reasonable
cold applications TO the bend are The
only remedies adapted to his case just
now. 1t is too bad that he should loose
that convention, know, tut il can't be
helped now, DR., and you had better
make the best OF it. OF course it will
comfort you some it you can kill off
Hinekley, and when you have done it,
the field will be clearer for you.
Considering the foregoing as sufficient
warning against the doctors rawlings,
refrain from trespassing further upon
your generosity and your space at this
tune. r. HINoKLEY.

= iIisstatenent.

One OF the British Columbia papers
asserts that the Henry Dennis, owned by
Capt. Brown OF our city, has gone tc
Behring Sea in defiance OF thepresident' 5
proclamation. Such is not the case.
The captain OF the Henry Dennis has
explicit orders to keep within the law
We cannot understand the intention OF
the B. c. paper in making such state
ment, unless it is to still more complicate
the Behring Sea question, and to induce
Canadian sealers to ignore this govern
ment's proclamation. The British Co
lumbia journals should first ascertain
the facts, before publishing such state
ments as have appeared in their
papers.

Washington Pioneer Reunion.

The sixth animal reunion of the Wash
inGton Pioneer Association will be heI,
I at Olympia on June 4th and 5tb. 1885
. 'ac,.tIr Z a: tie tsEgn haI!, III said city, oI
Juue 4th, at 10 o'clock =. N, for III
! transaction Of the usual business of thl
| association.
! Members of the association are hereb
| notified that no change of time Of meet
| ing has been made from the day fixed br
the constitution.
Ample preparations will be made bl
the people OF Olympia to entertain mem
| bers from abroad, and 1t is hoped tina
there will be FULL attendance.
FRANCIS HENRY.
Sec. Washington Pioneer Association
1t will be seen by the above official an
nouncement that no change has beer
made in the time of holding the reunion
this year. A report has been circulated
that the date had been changed to July
4th, but a. the constitution OF the asso
citation fixes the time of meeting, there
could, of course, Ee no authoritative &C
ton in the matter, even were it advisa-
BILE to substitute a later day for the an
nual meeting.
The subject was, however, discussed
by the resident pioneers who assembled
at the Odd Fellows building, Saturday,
and the opinion was unanimous that II
would be irexpedieDt to place the time
OF meeting on or near the National An
niversary, at season when everybody is
engaged in other active and absorbing
duties. Our people could find very little
time to entertain even tho pioneers,
when several thousand other visitors
were their quests, ncr would they be able
to make arrat gements for the usual feat
ures of pioneer reunion, while every
effort wonld necessarily be giSea to the
larger and equally cherished patriotic
demonstration. The fact that many of
the pioneers have expressed q desire TO
be present at the celebration, and the
time and expense that would neces-
sarily be involved in two trips to Olym-
pia, wore fully considered; but the meet
ing took tue sieE that to sanction a
change that could not he legally made
and under these circumstances, would
be virtual abandonment of the organi-
zation. This idea could not for a moment
be seriously entertained. Pioneer day is
of more Importance to the path-iinders
who settled tho country than even the
glorious anniversary of our nationality,
1t is to be regretted that Secretary
Henry did not publish his notice several
months ago so that the pioneers could
distinctly understand what to do. Every
one knew that the first Tuesday in June
is the dqy fxsd by the constistution Of
the Pioneer society for their annual meet
ing. But Judge Henry himself author
lied the statement, which appeared two
months ago in all the papers, that the
meeting would be on the Fourth of July,
SO as to let the Pioneers meet with the
delegates TO the constitutional conven-
ton and all the Pioneers of the lower
sound and Western Washington so I'M
derstood it, and there would have been q
large attendance. Now all who wish to
be present at the Pioneer meeting would
have to leave here by boat ON Monday
forenoon, June 3, so as to be in Olympia
on Tuesday, the day of meeting.

DEAR SIR: We remember seeing
somewhere that governments will for the
protection of life and property, and
notwithstanding that thero are some who
differ from this maxim and thinks that
they are for the purpose Of furnishing
affairs for politicians. We still think
that the old maxim might DO allowed a
place in the politicians creed so far, at
least, as to give such security to property,
as would induce persons to risk their
money in building for the purpose of inl-
proving the town, and besides sir, the
more the town grows, the wider the tax
able base, and hence the more money 10
pay officers. So you see that even self
interest should induce this class TO ad-
NIT the old maxim referred TO, but sir,
what security is there for property in this
CITY against the main and almost only
dauger to be feared, viz fire. All he

On Friday last while the revenue cutter
Wolcott was in Tacoma, Captain Glover
received instructions to seize the e" Al
batross," as it was believed her captain
was in the smuggling trade. The cutter
left Tacoma, and the men kept sharp
look out for the sloop. She was sighted
midway between here and Seattle,
and boarded by Lieutenant Wiley, but
nothing dutisble was found. \ line was
made fast to her, and she was towed
here. Yesterday morning Customs In

a thorough search, but nothing was found
that would criminate the captain.

CENSUS OFFICE.

CENSUS OFFICE.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May l, 1889.
To THE MEDICAL PROFESSION:
The various medical associations and
medical profession will be glad to learn
that DR.. John s. Billings, Surgeon U. S.
Army, has consented to take charge OF
the report on the mortality and vital
statistics OF the United States as return
ed 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 ascertainiDg the Rctu-
al movement OF population, our census
affords the only opportunity OF obtain
ing near an approximate estimate OF the
birth and death rates OF much the larger
part of the country. which is entirely IN
provided with any satisfactory system of
state and municipal registration.
In view OF this, the census Office, dur
ing the month OF May this year, will is
sue to the MEDICAL profession through
out tbe country 'Physician's Registers
for the purpose OF obtaining more accu-
rate returns of deaths than 1t is possible
for the enumerators to make. II is earn
estly hoped that physicians iu every part
OF the country will Cooperate with the
census Gffice in this important work. Tie
record should be kept from June l, 1888
to May 81, 1880. Nearly $4,000 OF these
repatriation books were filed up and re-
turned tc the Office in 1880. and nearly
all of them used for statistical purposes
1t is hoped that double this Iumber vii
be obtained for the sleyenth census.
! Physicians not receiving registers car
obtain them by seuding their names anC
addresses to the census office, and, will
the register, an official envelope which
requires no stamp will be provided 70
their return to Washington.
II oil medical and surgical practition
ers throughout the country will lent
their aid, the mortality aid vital stats
tics of the eleventh census will be NOR
comprehensive and complete than the
have ever been. Every physician shoul'
take personal pride in having this re
port as full and accurate as it is posi-
BILE to make it.
1t is hereby promised that all iDforms
ton obtained through this source sha
be held strictly confidential.
