The annual inspection of the Capital
Guards took place last evening, the inspection
being conducted by Gen. James A Hall Of
Damariscotta, of the Governors Staff, and
Inspector General of the State. The Com
papv met at their new and commodous ar
mory at half past six o'clock, fifty men ap-
nearing in uniform besides the commissioned
and nom commits officers. The uniforms
showed that they had been carefully kept,
and the arms were bright, and in excellent
condition.
In the absence of Capt. woodward, Lieut.,
Ware took command of the company. An
hours drill preceded the inspection and was
followed by short street parade, the music
being furnished by the Glen Drum Corps.
On returning to the armory the arms and
equipments of the company were carefully
inspected by Gen. Hall, after which the COM
pany exei csed in the manual of arms ana
performed the various intricate and dificuit
evolutions with great ease and grace. Gen.
Hall, at the close of these exercises, address
ed the company remarking that he had ex-
pected to find the company in excellent con-
diton and was not disappointed. Wonderful
Improvements had been made since last year.

The Standard ''supposes" that our item re-
ferring to the social gathering of the engine
boys, which appeared in Tuesday mornings
Daily, "was written the day before" Wise
supposi.ion, Indeed, when should it have
been written? The gathering was held the
day before, and the proper time to write news
items is on the day which they occur, and not
leave them to become mouldy with age, fit
ONLY for the columns of ''the more staid and
reliable weeklies." That policy might answer
very well for slow weekly that culls its To-
Gals from the issues of the daily press, but it
won't do for live Daily, with patrons whose
eyes and ears are open wide for the latest in
telligence. And then the Standard feels
mighty bad because it wasn't invited to the
fremens supper, and therefore didn't hear
the speeches. Let the editors send the boys
a certificate of good moral character, and
that they have at some time in their lives ''run
wild der machine" and we will ensure them
an ''invite" to the next annual festival

cal Society.
The society decided to set aside their pub
iished programme and close their session on
Thursday night.
The reports of the committee on Obstetrics
were again called up. DR.. Williams of Gar
diner read an account of an interesting case
of removal of tumor. This was followed by a
discussion on child-bed mania, in which Drs
Clark, Burr, Baisdell and Bell took part.
The opinion on this subject seemed to be that
the mania was usually durable in few weeks
or months, but somewhat likely to occur
again in future deliveries.
The committee on Surgery was called up.
DIR. Bell reported case of litigation of the
right common carotid artery Zone of the main
arteries of the neck.) The instrument used
was a new and valuable one,-Speir's Artery
Constrctor-and which was perfectly sue.

long and informal discussion then follow
ed on scientific subjects, during which DR..
Payne gave report of his European tour,
remarking, among other things, the percepti-
BILE inferiority of European hospitals, as COM
pared with those in America, in point Of COM
fort and sanitary arrangements. While
absent he had remarked the prevalence Of
consumption in Venice, Rome, and other
parts of Italy, showing the folly of the popu-
lar idea of sending consumptive patients to
those lands. This was followed by discus
in, MI tlo
pressed that it is great mistake in this coun-
try to send consumptive patients to the South
ern States. They require high, dry and
somewhat cool atmosphere, such as is per-
haps found in Colorado, and in some parts of
California.
The following committees were announced
for the ensuing year:

ton OF society composed of but two classes,-the
very rich and the very poor. There is no spot on
earth where n thriving middle class,-the me
chanic, the artisan, and the small farmer-is
more imperatively needed than in these Islands,
whatever may be the future increase Of the sugar
interest. Therefore while we respect the fears of
our correspondent as to the probable condition Of
affairs in the near future, we cannot but believe
them to be groundless.
We are, however, quite aware of the existence
in these days, Gas in every age of the worldly Of a
class of seli-styled philosophers, who pretend to
sheer at all ideas Of political equality. We have
a sprinkling Of the sort here, even outside of the
Ministry, and although they are not very out
spoken, yet they occasionally venture to air their
impracticable and obsolete ideas. They are inva-
riably found either to be the ingrained old fogy
of the absolutist political school, or the parent,
whose head, never too cool. has become turned by
the rather rapid accumulation of wealth. In
either case they will not or cannot comprehend
the lessons of the times, that SO plainly and GER
tainly point to the rapid progress of humanity
everywhere towards the very opposite of their
theories. They are mere atoms, to be dashed
aside or crushed by the wheels of human progress.
Let US look up, have faith in God and humanity,
and-be true to ourselves.

Constitutional Obligations.

Some establishment has been expressed by
parties who were not residents of the Islands
during the celebrated Convention times of 1864,
that the foreigners in the Convention should have
suffered themselves to be led into the attempted
commission of an Act so clearly unconstitutional
as to amend, repeal or alter the fundamental law.
Indeed there were strong doubts on this point in
the minds of some of the members, and with
some those doubts have never been laid, while
others gave up their opposition because of the
written opinions of the Associate Judges of the
Supreme Court. the late Messrs. Robertson and
Davis, to the effect that the Convention had
power, under the Constitution of 1852, to alter
or amend that instrument.
The question was brought to an issue by the
introduction Of a Resolution, as follows
THAT this Convention, by the conditions of the
Royal Proclamation, and by express or implied in
structions Of the people, has no Legislative authority,
and whatever action it is pleased to take conformity
or separately, is understood TO be simply advisory,
and that the approaching Legislature or Legisla-
lures, who are the only constituted medium acting
prove or reject such advice, as in their wisdom they
may see fit"
This Resolution was warmly discussed for
several days, and some of the Delegates gave in
written opinions upon it. The Ministry held to
the right of the Convention to amend, under the
Constitution, and appealed to the Judges of the
Supreme Court 10 sustain the view.

Nil Desperandum.

In reading the communication of our cores
pendent who takes % A peep at our Future, - in
another column, we remark that while he starts
from generally correct premises, we cannot agree
with the conclusions he arrives at, as to the
probable a. condition of our affairs in the near
future" The comparison which he presents of
the form of government of our Islands with that
of British Guiana, is not an apt one, inasmuch as
that is a colony under the Imperial Government,
which has the management of the affairs of its
dependency, and it is against liberal, free and
enlightened England that the writer quoted
directs his sarcasm. That the nature of our
Government, under the existing Ministry with
our One-house Legislature, entities it to be termed
asystem of popular representatives filtered through
a colander with four holes, is a striking and
correct smile, for which we are obliged to our
correspondent.
But, although we may be told that the wish is
father to the thought, yet We are inclined to the
opinion that we have reached the limit of our
retrogressiye political course, and that the - bold
ness and audacity " will be wanting to " override
the few remaining privileges that we enjoy"
Hampered and crippled though tie Legislature
of the country is under our present system, yet
We hNtA NdAAA NiC AOHS AIAt COhI SOON hoJ ANSAA
from the approaching session, and to this end we
earnestly appeal to the already awakened public
opinion of the country, to afford its powerful, its
irresistible moral support in the struggle for the
right.
The complaint that capital is opposed to free
institutions is an old one, but in these days 1T is
not always to be relied on as sound. Capital is
invariably conservative, never hasty or rash,
which cannot as confidently be asserted of its
opposite and ally, labor. That our island CAPT
talists-if the planters may be so termed-carry
their conservatism TO the extent claimed by our
correspondent, of subserviency to Ministers, we
do not believe. As a class, they are intelligent
lovers of free institutions, under which the most
of them have been born and educated. Their all
has been embarked in the country, and as it
fourishes or decays, Sc it must be with their for
tunes. But they cannot succeed and prosper and
grow rich and great, as it is intimated, while all
the other classes of the community dwindle and
become impoverished. In this age of the world
and in these Islands, there cannot arise Il condi-
