The old officers were reelected.
The report of the treasurer showed a
balance of s134.O2 in the treasury. The
secretary presented the association with
a complete set of reports of previous
meetings, excepting the first and sec
ond, which were never printed, and
made many practical suggestions as to
amendments which. in his judgment.
should be made to the military code.
He also suggested state reciprocity in
national guard matterS-concert of ac-
ton and recognition of state exemptions
on military account rather.
Gov. Nelson, addressing the conven-
ton, said the national guard in time Of
peace occupies a more prominent posi-
! ton than people generally suppose.
| They are the conservators of the peace
aud strong moral support to the civil
| power. LII view of the small standing
! army it is of the greatest Importance
| that He keep up nucleus of an army
ready for any emergency. The national
guard forms the superstructure on
which a grand military establishment
could be completed if occasion
| should demand. His own best
| education was received in the
| army. 1t was. there he learned to
obey and respect his superior officers.
| There are men in the national guard
who, on the social ladder, are superior
to their officers, but in order to become
| soldiers. good and true. they must learn
to obey the authority vested in their
officers. In the late war the most
| efficient soldiers We're those who left
| the best civilization to become such.
Those of the rough and tumble class
could not be relied upon when discre-
| ton and valor were essential to sue
cess. The national guard is a splendid
school for young men; it teaches manly
bearing and self-relianee. and i'm.
! proves them in every way.
| Adj. Gen. Nuremberg said that the
equipment of the guard had been re.
stricted by lack Of appropriations, but
he mad secured $1,000 worth of cloth
from the national government which
would be issued ito regimental com.
| manders and he expected to secure two
Hotchkiss guns for the artillery. A
| new mess house and other improve
ments would be added to the camp be
| fore the next meeting.
Various topics were under discussion,
especially relating to uniforms and
special faithful service medals. and q
resolution by Lieut.. Horton was unani
mously adopted that the commandments
chief be petitioned to grant the medal
to any member who serves ten wears,
whether consecutive or otherwise. The
conditions now imposed as to the faith

Col. Mason said he had been asked b.
Gen. Muehlberg to give them some

to do so.

erty, the suppression of domestic dis
orders caused by evil-disposed person.
, and aiding the magistrates in upholdin
and enforcing the laws. The point
