SALISBURY AND THE MILITARY cunss.
At the manual dimmer of the Sailsbury Liberal Con-
stitutional Benefit Sanely, Mr. Lash, M.P., in proposing
" The Army, Navy, and Volunteers." said that In his
opinion Salisbury wee on the eve of taking a step In
advance which the bed been mash In need of for man/
pars. He referred to the proposal to make the eity a
military emstre-(applause). He thoroughly believed
that if they succeeded in Indianan Mr. Cardwell to
losale • body of troops permeteatly in the sity or In Use
neighbourhood it would result to hermit to the city and
the neighbourhood generall -(leo r, hear, and applanw).
He was aware that that view wee not universally held
throughout the city, for every inliarintial body of gentle-
men were amoslated together for.the purpose of pre
-
Tootles what in thelr opinion was an undmlrable visita-
tion - (A. voice "them.")- but their arguments had
not mxtvineed him, for he still believed it was quite
pada, to Lave • well-trained end thoroughly die.
eipliard body of men located Ia the town without
the introduetton of tbe train of evil. which it had beim
r=would follow such an eirenl-(bear her,).
bi, be thought, to look at such usHers from
an impartial point of view. He believed that the gentle-
men who opposed the proposal did so eonedeatiously,
and that they really believed that the latrainction of
*oldies" into the town would briog forth evil results.
Their views were mrtainly eetitled to every oonsidera-
tioa and respect, but he entirely disagreed with their
opinloaa upon the subject. The British army of the
prevent and the truly of the future would be oomposed
of • very different clam of men, and the army of the
present he was sure they would agree with him-was a
true improvement upon that of the past -(mar, hear).
The time waa when any kind of men who was Mg
epee& would he admitted to the army, and little or no
ears was &ekes to cultivate his mind or mosaLa ; but all
that woald now be changed, sod the important points
which had bees neglected in the training of the saltier
would now be caret oily attended to. In an interview
• few days ago with Mr. Cardwell, la which he (Dr.
Lath) took • part, they were amazed that the arittah
army of the laws woald be composed of • very
different gem of men from what it had been in peat
times. Mr. Cardwell mid that It waa him intentiou to
keep the men employed at work, to drill them and give
them oompation and instruction In their barrack.; and
he thought when soak were to be the eoaditions under
which the soidiers were to be plastid for the fitters there
were really no gr.:mods for the appreheardoes whisk
were entertained by several gentlemen that the
Wineries of soldiers into the any would recall In an
Indus of immorality and drunkeeneet--(hear, hear).
• Oardwell spoke very warmly upon the subject, and
he (Dr. Lash) quite agreed with him in the view he
took of the soldier el the inters. They all agreed that
If 9000 or 3000 soldiers were Introduced into • city
cettolo meal. would follow, but it should be remembered
that precisely nuder results would eerier If a like
number of civilians were introduced altos town-(hesz,
hew). The locating of etch • large body of nam in the
city as was proposed would result in the distribution of
• large amount of money over our city by the pereham
of orioles of feed and other materials, by the letting
of ledgiags to the families of oaten, and by the greet
Milan of visitors to the city which would mane. He
felt that se argument that had been demised aided
the proposal was entitled to sway the oplaions of those
who looked to the hest interests of Salisbury -
(applause).
