There are two reasons for this; in the

KALIHI GUARDS.


The withdrawal OF a portion of the
military from Kalihi seems now to be
contemplated by the authorities, for
the names of those who wish to return
to their civil duties have, it is said,
been called for. If this is so it is prob
able that many of the men will be re-
leased from duty tomorrow.
This is one important step which will
satisfy a number of men who, while
perfectly willing to take their share of
the duty, still feel as If they were call
ed upon to sacrifice their interests w
duly. 1t will also relieve, in some
measure, the strain upon the public
funds, which is certainly bearing very
hard, especially in view of large en-
pense-how large no one can, at the
present time, predict-which must in
evitably be met.
The Star is as anxious as any one
that no undue chances should be taken,
but it would be derelict in its duty to
the public did it not point out the ne
cessity for economy. Withdrawing the
military from Kalihi would certainly be
measure of great economy The
question before the authorities is
whether the guarding could not be ac-
complished just as well and at less cost
by employing civilian guards sworn is
as special constables. 1t is distinctly
debateable subject, ana should be care
G., hf
sufficient at cost of 1850 per day, why
should the military force be maintain
ed at a cost of close on to $1,000 a day
for pay and some 1925 a day for food,
to which must be added cost of trans
port and incidentals.
Besides, no one calls for the disband-
ment of the military. 1t is an organic
ed force, and in case of riot, it might
be called together within half an hour.
Now there are Board of Health guards
within the enclosure, and with a guard
of special constables outside, it certain
ly does not seem likely that. any rush
could be made before the military could
be on the spot if there was necessity.
A rising of the inmates would require
organization, and it would be impossl-
BILE for those in charge not to know
| something of what was going on.
| The military have done excellent
work, and deserve every credit for
what they have done. The full need of
praise will assuredly be awarded to
them. But undoubtedly some of them
should be relieved, and equally I'M
doubtedly there should be careful con-
sideration of whether there might not
be some less expensive way of taking
care of the people in Kalihi than is at
present employed.

THE BOER WAR.

The morning dispatches of January
to the Boer war. One set declared that
Warrens force had captured the key
TO the Boer position at Spion Kopf
The other set declared that the British
line of retreat was threatened. The
evening papers of the same date, how
ever, confirm the fact of the capture.
The success is not absolutely perma-
nent and it may be stormed again in
return. Indeed there is a suggestion
that the British force occupying the
position may be surrounded. What
Buffers force now in the field may be
is unknown.
The question at the present time
hangs on what further troops Butler
can detach to reinforce Warren. IT, as
some suppose, considerable additional
forces have been added recently to Bull
ler's command, this thanking movement
of Warren's may have the desired effect
of driving the Beers towards Lady
smith, and may give General White
the opportunity of cooperating with
the relieving force. The tide may then
turn in favor of the British
But there seems little likelihood of
the British forces being able to deliver
any crushing blow. The Beers, even
should they be driven back, have the
line Of railway towards Pretoria in
their. possession and would be able to
make a series of fights contesting al
most every inch of ground as they fell
back. The war, from all appearances,
is likely to continue for many months
In the commands outside of Buffers
there has been absolutely no activity.
Methuen's force remains within it's in
trenchments on the Modder river, nei-
Their attacking nor attacked. Gatacre
is also quieseent. These forces Will
probably not move until Roberts and
Kitchener have the thoroughly inform
ed themselves of the existing conditions
and have formed a complete new plan
of campaign.
TO sum up there is CLEAN of hope
for the British arms. There is not the
utter depression felt throughout the
empire that there has been for so long
when there was nothing but chronicle
of disaster after disaster. This has had
its effect upon the money market, Just
as the lifting of the plague has had its
effect upon our securities. But it is
not wise for the British to be too GER
tain yet, It is only sAght success,
and it might be reversed on the 26th or
27th.

From among the desultory news APP
pears q very significant paragraph with
reference to disagreement between the
Colonial and the Imperial officers. This
recalls a similar condition OF affairs
which took place shortly before the
War of Independence. Braddock's de-
feat was caused by just such disagree
ment, and the Colonial officer whose
advice was sighted, was Washington
1t is one of the misfortunes of those
who are trained to arms and to nothing
else that they despise the knowledge
and under rate the competence of those
who understand arms but also have
civilian employment.
Lord Roberts seems to have realized
this very strongly and apparently In
tends to make greater use of the Colo
NAL forces than has yet obtained. This
is the action of a wise man. The Colo
NAL irregular horse is far better able
to get over the rough country Of North
ern Natal than the regular cavalry. The
men are more accustomed to the work,
and the horses less likely to break down
under the strain. The order for cavalry
achievements from England has been
countermanded, and no doubt fresh
levies Of Colonial forces will be called
for.
What the results may have been
since the steamer left the Coast will be
anxiously awaited by all.

THAT TIRED FEELING.

What constitutes load depends on
the strength Of the man or beast who
has to carry it and the conditions
under which he carries it. We hear
people continually talk of being tired
who have not done enough work to
make them 80. This sensation is popu-
larly spoken of as THAT tired feel
ing" People who have it often take
stimulants to drive it away. A relapse
follows and they feel more weary and
depressed than before. For the trouble
Is not in the muscles but in the blood.
Certain humors or pOisons arising
from indigestion or otherwise deprive
the blood of its sustaining life-giving
power, producing result similar to
what would follow from too much
eXertion and too little rest. But
whereas in the case Of healthy per-
son the tired feeling would pass away
under the influence of sleep and re-
pose, it is not so in this instance. The
sleep is broken and the sufferer rises
In the morning unrefreshed and feel

directly in front of him, the vicious
mouth kissing. the eyes cleaning with
