ESGLAND,s STANDING ARMY

When the Army bill was before the
House of Commons for consideration,
Sir Wilford Lawson made an amusing
speech, prefacing it with the resolution:
"That in the opinion of this House the
assurances of friendship from all for
eign powers, mentioned in her majes-
ty's speech, warrant a reduction in the
land forces Of the British sarmy." He
didn't know but that it was out of place
to talk politics in the house, but he
would ask of the honorable gentleman
If all nations were friendly to England,
Of whom was She afraid? Net France,
surely, for she vas so full of her own
affairs that she had no time to think of
her neighbOrs. 1t was, In fact, a rich
Frenehman who instructed his new
valet that his three principal duties
would be to wake him i B every morn
ing at 8, to let him know as
to the weather, and to inform him
under what form of government he was
living. Not Russia or Prussia, for En-
gland had married into the royal fam
lies Of each. Nor Spain, since it was
only the other day that they were COM
PEELED to back the kings train into a
tunnel to save him from the bullets of
his subjects. England had no power
to fear but the Pope and the potato
bug. Gladstone would be able to take
care Of the former-a Conservative
government was surely competent to
prevent an invasion by the latter. If
the standing army was to be kept on
its legs the country would be obliged
some day to use it for the reason that
induced an African chief to 90 to war
he had barrel of gunpowder on
hand and it would spoil ii he didn't use
it. The wit of the facetious Sir VIII
fred did not avail The army estimates
were adopted. They show that for
S73, 1856, 600, England viii have during
the next year an army Of l29, 600 regu-
lars, exclusive of $4,000 IN India, 1O3,
600 militia, 1928 effective reserves, %
900 enrolled pensioners, and l61, 900
efficient volunteers and some yeomanry
in all an army Of $3.50, 900 men.
