The Speech From the Throne.

NV relations with foreign powers
are not quite satisfactory, especially
in Hawaii. My spirit of fairness
and love of justice are expected to
relieve all embarrassments later
on.
A special message will acquaint
nv faithful lords and gentlemen
when the legitimate monarch of
Hawaii is restored to her throne.
Nv exchecquer shows a de-
ficiency of SOS, 100000. My policy
of free trade will create a still
further deficit, which will be met
with becoming submission to the
will of Providence by my loyal
| people. My workingmen may ex-
pect low wages, but l confidently
trust that though low they will be
steady.
/ am satisfied with the work OF
Parliament in finance, and com
mand that no further steps be
taken at present except to author
ize the issuance of bonds In my
discretion.
My navy is doing well, but the
deficit in the exchequer forbid:
further improvement until L have
gathered surplus by my incom
tax.
, Nv Congress will at once proceed
to pass my free trade and tarif
bills, which my chairman of com
mittee has personally prepared.
prefer that no time be lost in re
ferring these important matters t

( nv Black Rod, knows my will.

BATTALION DRILL.
Forces of the Provisional Govern
ment March in the Mist.

In spite of the rainy weather,
quite a large number of people
gathered at Palace square last
night to witness the battalion drill.
The volunteers did not turn out in
very great numbers, so that they
drilled in TWO instead of four COM
panies, making four instead of six
companies in the battalion. The
men formed at the drill shed and
marched to the square where they
went through a number of evolu-
tons. Later they marched through
the streets, the band playing vari-
Gus patriotic and martial airs.
The sharpshooters, who are sta
toned at the Executive Building
during battalion drills, turned out
promptly, in good force, so that
with a number of regulars sta
toned at the same point, there wa:
a large force not in the drill.

PersOnnlties IN POlltIcs.

Independent Democrat.
The Springer Stockman (on the
fence) deprecates personalities in
politics and says;
political contests should be
made on party issues and not on
private character. It is perfectly
consistent to review official acts Of
the past in order to judge as to tie
future, and it is also true that a
mans personal life will partially
indicate what his public one may
be, but if he that is without sin
would first cast stone, we would
have no mud fiinging in politics.
The Stockman will condemn such
methods, whether adopted by
friends or foe politically, and we
were indeed sorry to hear Antonio
Joseph open the Territorial cam
.paign ct Santa Fe last Saturday
evening by making a violent per-
sonal attack upon his opponent, I.
b. Catron."
All that sounds very dignifed
and elevated, but it is nothing
more than clotted nonsense. Pol
itical conventions nominate for
Office men, good or bad frequent
ly the latter-not theories of gov
ernment nor party issues" Peo-
pie are urged to vote for those
men because of their personal
qualifications and virtues, and it
is perfectly Legitimate to show
that candidate does not possess
the virtues and abilities attributed
to him. If man is a rascal, doubt
less it pains him to be exposed,

A Cougars Bold Break .

One day last week Mrs. Reas-
oner, the wife of a settler in Fres-
nal canyon, went out of the house
for a few moments, leaving her
baby playing upon the floor, aud
had gone but a short distance when
she saw a cougar come out of the
brush and sneak furtively into the
house. Mrs. Reasoner ran back
to the house, intending to reach
through the open window for a
gun that stood in q corner, but
when she approached the window
she met the cougar that was about
to jump out, carrying the child.
The animal turned from the
window and leaped out of the
door, still carrying the child, and
might have escaped with its prey
to the mountains but for the op-
perfume arrival of three dogs that
had been running a deer and had
Just returned from the chase. The
hounds promptly attacked the big
cat, and furious fight ensued.
During the melee, Mrs. Reasoner
rushed in and rescued her child.
which had not been injured, the
cougar having seized its clothing
only.
The hounds fought gamely and
inflicted some severe wounds upon
the bold marauder, but the cougar
shook them off, knocked one Of
them out with clip on the head
and bounded away into the brush.
The dogs were pretty badly used
up and the cougar did not get
away with whole skln.-Las
