particularly in the matter of drill Colonel
Urell is enthusiastic and popular, and ne
will leave nothing undone to advance the
interests and welfare of the second. There
Is no better drillmaster in the guard than
Lieutepant Colonel OBrien. and, 1t is un-
derstood, he will be given full sway by the
regfmental commander. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that from this time on the ID Regiment
will go through maneuvers with which the
majority of the officers and men are now
rnacquainted. 1t will be regiment in every

interesting to note that a proposition has
been made that Company C. ID Battalion,

the place of a company of the 4th Battalion

from fourishing. This proposed STEP how

talon and regmental assemblies and drills,
rapid assemblies and other military pro-
ceedings such as the local brigade has
never known The departure will very
likely result in unprecedented interest and
enthusiasm. General 1Iarries has decided
TO resume the regular weekly meetings of
the general staff, commencing early in
January. These meetings have not been
held for g. number of years The brigade
commander will be at HIS, HEADQUARTERS
every Monday evening, ara what will in
all probability be a successful effort wal
be made to secure the attendance of every
member of the STAFF, All officers of the
National Quart Will be. invited to call
either on business or socially. Topics Of
interest will be discussed, and, in fact
headquarters every Monday evening will
be sort CT National Guard clearing house
In this connection it may be stated that
the general staff is to be a working staff
in every sense of the word. No one will be
member merely for ornamental purposes.
Every officer will be expected to perform
his full duty, and, while such duty is not
to be onerous in any way, it will, never
theless, be sufficient to show pretty con-
clusively by the manner in which it is per-
formed whether or not the officer has the
welfare of the guard at heart.
Naturally, 1t was the proper thing for all
the officars of the general staff to promptly
tender their designations when Gen. Har-
rleS received his commission, but it is be-
lieved that some of them have not found
time yet to take such action. Gossip has
1t that most of the designations will be re-
turned

swarmed unusually thick upon the horse

spots, causing 1t no little annoyance The
dog obse rved this and at once came to the

TROUBLE ENOUGH WITHOUT 1T.

The people of the United States are now in
the enjoyment of every advantage which the
annexation OF Hawaii could confer upon them
without any of its burdens. Trade between
the two countries has long been free, and an
nexation could not add anything 10 this ad-
vantage. But from the moment of the posses
sion OF those islands they would become a
heavy burden upon the American people for
the governme n OF their strangely mixed pop
ulations, for fleets and Notifications under
pretense OF strategical necessity, for rivers and
harbors, and for costly public buildings. The
further removed from public scrutiny the
greater would be the extravaganza waste and
corruption of these expenditures 1t is the
scent OF this enormous spoil alone which has
induced the little oligarchy in Honolulu to
