The recohimendutions were, briefly, to extend the period -of annual dril to 28 dayB; to establish three model' tiaining schools for cavalry and infantry ; and to raise brigades of garrison artillery at Quebec and KingBton. This determination on the part of the Government is more than likely owing to ibo. fact that it does not wish to incur any greater expense in the matteV of maintain ing a militia than is actually neces sary- It is undeniable tha:t there, is a feeling antong the members of the volunteer force [hat they are not, being .a!'-;d for with by any la-^nrm a prodigal hand. Rut in three days of deficits and depres sions the Government very proha bly feels that its first duty is to economise in .every possible way: At ihe. same limo it nnist be ad milted that there is some ground for the contention of the volunteers that there are plenty of better fields in which to economise than in that of the volunteer Uiilitia.
