Major Dane, proceeding, with bril-
liancy drew a contrast between the
simplicity of the American system
of citizen soldiery and the formid-
able armies of other countries.
Thirty days after the rebellion was

Comrade Cruzan began charac-
teristically sparkling speech by re-
marking the saying that before a
man begins to go into his dotage he
goes into anecdotage, and then
linked fine array of sentiment and
wisdom together with pointed anec-
dotes of the war and the Grand
Army. Advcrting to the fratcrnal
union of loyal and rebel officers of
the war over Grants grave, he gave
prophetic glance to the time when
the 81 or 3S stars in the flag would
be 100. and the GO millions of peo-
pie would be nation of 100 mil
lions. He closed with a word for
the country in which their lot was
cast There was more than mere
regard felt for it by America: there
was true friendship, and a determi
nation to protect the independence
of Hawaii.

entertained the company with some
vivid "reminiscences of the Mexican
war, of which he is n veteran. In
that affair were engaged several of
the generals who afterward fought
against the Union, including Davis
and Beauregard. Mr.. Lame said
he had been at many meetings, but
never at one that gave him more
pleasure than this one. He had the
honor of having originated this
Post, that was, he believed, the
only one existing in a foreign coun
try. The speaker concluded by
thanking His Majesty the King and
His EXcellency the Governor, who
had always acted toward the Post as
if they could not do too much for

And should the Spanish Govern
ment persist in pressing her de-
mands, the result will be, no doubt,
the raising of another foreign flag,
bearing the crosses of st. George
and st. Andrew, on some other
island of the group.
1t is estimated that the British
Islands will buy 1856 900, 900 bushels
of the grain crop of other countries
during the coming year.
Only about sixty out of 100 pub
lie bills introduced into the last

Something was wrong yesterday
either with the moon or with Thrum's
almanac. The latter had an invisible
eclipse of the moon arranged to
come off at Honolulu last evening.
The moon herself changed the pro-
gramme. After moving well up in
her silvery track, her lunar majesty
proceeded to creep slowly into the
penumbra, and having afforded all
interested a chance to gaze up upon
her shaded disc, then marched slowly
out again into the clear azure.
Greater checks are required in
this kingdom upon the ownership
and carrying of firearms. 1t is
startling to find that men without a
particle of selfcontrOl, particularly
when under the influence of drink,
are allowed to indulge in revolver
practice, and even to threaten the
murderous use of the weapon, in
the midst of populous localities
right in Honolulu.
The Government must be hard up
for disposal of its property to adj
vantage, when it lets Il building in
the heart of business to such n
noisy nuisance as a Chinese theatre.
This marks one more stage in the
progress of Mongolian ascendancy.
Unchecked for few years more,
and the process will end in the
Christian churches becoming Bhud-
dist joss houses.
In advocating Il water police SER
vice the other day, mention was
made of the present Deputy Mar
shall having repeatedly asked for an
appropriation for police boat. 1t
should have been said, further, that
the annual reports of the ex-Mar-
shall, Hon. w. G. Parke, for many
years, contained recommendations
for such service. Like many
another useful measure urged upon
the Legislature, the ''assembled
wisdom preferred to drain the
treasury for objects of no value,
but injury, to the public.

The memorialist attributes the earth

which caused an excess of the yang,

he adds, :" ii was due in II measure

The German-Spanish row about the
Caroline Islands makes the biggest
cloud in the foreign horizon. Ger
many having taken formal posses
sion of the island of zap, has the
advantage of the traditionary "nine
points in the law" claim. 1t seems,
from the negotiations that have al
ready taken place, that Germany
intends to hold her position. In
1873, the claim of Spain TO the
islands was formally protested by
Great Britain and Germany together.

A discussion has started around
us over suggestion that Govern
ment instructor in viticulture be ap-
pointed. While we cannot see that
the industry named is more worthy
of such distinction than all others,
yet the time has fully arrived when
agricultural industry in general
should he fostered and encouraged
by the state. There is general
conviction, the result of experience
and discussion, that the country is
unwise in depending upon single
production for the creation and
maintenance of wealth and trade.
If the Government even opened q
bureau of agricultural statistics, for
the collection of facts and the issu-
ance of annual reports, step in adj
vance would he made.
While the Federal power is wrest-
ling with Mormonsm in its strong
hold, the Church" is making Il
strenuous endeavor to establish itself
in Alabama. Converts have been
made in the Southern States to a
considerable extent heretofore, but
they were immediately transplanted
to more neutral regions west. Now,
however, it is proposed to settle
three hundred fresh European pro-
selytes upon land in Jackson and De
Kalb counties. For this purpose an
agent has gone there with the pur-
chase money in his pocket. The
Alabama people and Legislature
have, however, yet to be heard from.
Idaho has made unto itself law
whereby any person belonging to an
organization that teaches or practises
polygamy shall be prohibited from
voting, holding office, or serving as
juror. In consequence of this
legislation the, Mormons of Idaho are
said to be very angry which does
not discomfort the Idahoers-and to
be preparing for an exodus-wbich
is Just about what the law was in
tended to bring about.

AT the meeting of the board to consider plans

comply with the congressional require ment 10
build TOUR ships "of the best and most modeI n
design, Having the highest attainable speed, !"
and upon plans determined upon latter consid.
Grafton OF all designs heretofore adopted by the
department" The board would decide, he
said whether any of the plans submitted in
sponse to his advertisement tor proposals should
be adopted, and il none were satisfactory they
must determine what the type OF the ship shall
be; that is, what her characteristics shall be.
The Secretary called attention TO the inexpe-
rience of the department In building modern
war vessels, and urged that the board must
consequently proceed with great caution. III
they desired more information about the con.
struction OF war ships in other countries he
considered that he had the authority 10 expend
money Tor that purpose. Until all possible
knowledge on this point had been acquired he
did not propose to take any step.
after the decision has been made what the
ship shall be, what her size, horse power weight
OF engines, space for engines, what her arIna-
mont and armor, and on, shall be- then
comes the second stage, which Is putting this
general design into the hands of technical men
10 prepare in detail the plans and specifications
on which the work is to be done. That step I
do not at present desire advice upon. IL will
be the second stage I'm the work"
About seventy-iive plans for vessels and parts
OF vessels have been submitted. But nine Of
these include both the hull and machinery.
Many are for parts of the machinery or for parts
of the wooden work. Of the plans for an entire
vessel, only one Is from q private ship-building
firm, and this is plan for a single vessel "
about 5000 tons, sent from San Francisco.

been expressed that 1t is untrue, but rumor has
1t that an order for legal proceedings has al

Mrs. Crawford, the wife of an official of the local

Florence, but he presided at the meeting here

name and character are the chief reliance of
the Virginia democrats for success in No

In every quarter his nomination is cordially

for a position which Virgnians hold among the
greatest of political honors.
Gen. Lees friends forced the ballotng last
night, as 1t was apparent that every hours de-
lay was adding To the strength of the field"
as against the favorite. His nomination is a
victory of which the younger democratic ele-
ment are reasonably proud.
AT to-day's proceedings the prominence of
Massey as candidate for lieutenant governor
was surprise, In view of the meager support
ne received last night for governor. His NOM

heavy handicap for Gen. Lee.
