Addresses were made by Bishop Spald-
ing; William Welsh, formerly Of the

Oneof hehsstspcstsda ana most jppracts
cal military men in the west is Gen. r.
Williams, Adjutant General, Depart
ment Of the Platte, who, in a recent
paper, concisely sets forth the needs Of
the army. We-quote as follows:
1 Gen. Williams insists that the
elements of military education be
taught in all our schools, and that reg
mental and company organizations of
militia should be required to go into
camp a certain number of days in each
year for instruction and maneuvre.
2. Adetail Of troops, with the proper
complement of staff officers from the
Regular Army, should be required to
attend these camps, to aid in the in
strnction of volunteers and for their
own benefit.
8. Gen. Williams asks that the army
be granted the rights Of uffrage and rep
resentation, rights which are possessed
by almost every other army in-the
world, and were not denied to our own
army when it numbered a million men.
This proposition is argued with much
force of fact and statement.
a. Gen. Williams shows the neces.
sity of fixing, with some degree Of per.
manence, the numerical strength Of the
army, not a difficult task, as he clearly
demonstrates.
