THE COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION.
THE COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION. One would not think that Aberdare is the same place if one saw it now. and a few weeks ago. The conditions are the same. There is still an election on --still the Liberals and Conservatives rage furiously together --still they wax angry at one another, and will list not to the voice of the peacemaker." But little or no public interest is manifested in the events which are transpiring. The only busy people seem to be the Liberal Association, and their deadly foes, the members of the Con- servative Association. Liberals seem deter- mined to run candidates against the Con- servative gentlemen who have been nominated for the different wards. We should, as readily as all others, be prepared to admit that there would be no fun in allowing all the representatives from Aberdare to be Con- servatives, provided it were going to be a Party Council, and not a County Council. But we cannot yet see the force of making a great fuss,—raking up bad feelings,—and once more turning Aberdare upside down,—over an election for what is really no more than a large Local Board. What is it more than that? It is nothing more to us for the puposes of this election. We send our members from each ward just as in a local board election. It is simply a local board for a county, instead of a town. Why, then* should we split ourselves asunder, over a mere election for a local board ? Why not peace- fully and in harmony select the best men ? Both Liberals and Conservatives are cutting their noses off to spite their faces by saying "nay" to this man or that man, simply because he is a Conservative. They are, mayhap, putting a poor man in, simply because he is a Conservative or Liberal, where they could put a better man in, of the opposite political party. This, they fancy, is a Quixotic way of shewing their devotion to their principles. It is more than Quixotic,- it is foolish. And to be Quixotio is often to be foolish as the case in point proves. When they awake to the fact that politics should not, and, as we hope, will not, have any part in an organisation which is to be no more than a local board for the county, with certain extended powers, they will see that they have been over zealous for party. Once let us Bee, as we saw before that County Councils will not keep up to this ideal, and we should be as eager as anyone to see the Radicals in majority. We should work for this end and preach for this end until further orders. But let us first of all send up the best men. Let us do this that we may reap what advantage we can before the council becomes demoralised into a Party Council. We can easily alter the state of things. Aber. dare is Radical to the core, and we can easily carry our men in. Meanwhile do not let us be so far wanting in taste and gratitude for public services, as to refuse to send such men as Mr R. H. Rhys and Mr James Lewis. We could not do better. We are only hurrying matters on to unpleasant issues by making it a political election before we are driven to do it. Therefore let us show that we can be tolerant and wise for once in our day and generation, « I William Phillips is a nice man. He is the sort of man whom we should like to see treated by some giant in the same manner in which he treated the calf which he was driving through Trecyuou. The man who can cruelly beat a poor dumb animal is not far short of an animal himself. Because William Phillips acted like an animal,—not being au animal—the Bouch inflicted upon him a fine of ten shillings and coats. It is to be hoped that he will take the lesson to heart that if he cannot be man to be kind enough to dumb animals, the law will protect them. • The local Jack the Ripper" has been let off with a severe reprimand. This is as we thought it would be. The Bench did not want to be too hard upon one who had been more foolish than vicious, —and yet this sort of thing had to be stopped. We hope that this will serve to check it as far as Aberdare is concerned. Already Mr Pritchard-Morgan, M.P., is be- sterring himself in the Welsh affairs. He at- tended or. Tuesday night a Welsh meeting at Dr. Owen Evaus's Chapel in Fetter Lane, Lon- don. He there pioposed a resolution urging upon the government the importance of translat- ing the Local Government Bill into Welsh with out delay, and, wonder of wonders I Mr Foulkes Griffiths seconded it. This was enough to knock one down on reading it. Mr Foulkes Griffiths seconding a resolution proposed by Mr Pritchard-Morgan Wonders will never cease! And yet it is pleasant to see this kiudnes* of feeling. Still the mild weather lasteth. And still the frost and snow keep off, only to come down upon us with tenfold force when the mildness is gone. It will be observed that young ladies like this sort of weather very well. It enables them to take evening walks up the Abernant or liirwain roads. • • Some of the-we won't say Aberdare ministers -we should offend them-and what is more we do not believe it of ministers in Wales -they have a more conscientious idea of their calling but some of the ministers would not like to have such a hearer as a certain journal tells us a certain minister or clergyman had, one Sunday 11 evening, lie was an old gentleman who, being t donf, sat. up right under the pulpit Unfortun- ately, however, he could very well hear what the minister was saying and every now and then this old wretch would turn round to the audience, and utter in a loud voice, adverse comments on the sermon —something in this fashion :—" Ugh That's a bit of Robertson of Brighton. The minister got awfully red but I went on. Ugh That's a paragraph from Hooker. The minister got redder still, but still went on. Ugh! That's a bit of Tal- mage." The minister could not stand it any lon°er, and leaning over the pulpit, he said anerilv Confound you, sir, will you be quiet. "Ugh That's his own, said the old gentleman. 0 m In « country church on the borders of Wales, a few days ago, a young man named Kiss was married to a young woman named Lipful. This is a funny combination, and we should recom- mend Aberdare young ladies to see if they cannot bring about some such happy combination. This young lady will have a good long kiss, and it is to be hoped that she will enjoy it. [ =—=====»»

Hughes, procurator of the above society, on The progress of Electricity. Mr Geo. Abra- ham, National Hank of Wales, presided, and there was a good attendance of membeis and friends. The subject was very minutely and ablv dealt with, Mr Hughes having also pro- vided bim8elf with suitable apparatus lllustta- tive of his remarks, which were frequently ap- plauded. A mong other things a miner's electric lamp was exhibited. Several new members were enrolled, among the latter being MrW. Pritchard-Morgan, ML. P. COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION.—A meeting m support of Mr K. ll. Rhys's candidature for No 1 Ward was held on Tuesday evening, at St Fagan's Sohools, under the presidency of Mr E. D. Howell, Gelly Isaf. Mr Rhys was present, as also Mr Thos. Phillips, solicitor, acting as agent on Mr Rhys's behalf, both of whom addressed the meeting, which was well attended. Rumoured opposition had evidently stimulated Mr Rhys's friends to action, although every confidence was expressed in that gentleman's return. An executive committee, consisting of representatives chiefly amongst the working classes from Llwydcoed, Cwmdare and Tre- cynon, was appointed, and it was resolved that another meeting be held on Saturday evening, the 8th inst., at 6 o'clock, at the same place, to which Mr Rhys's supporter are cordially invited. ABKRDARE COUNTY CouaT.-At the monthly sitting of the county court on Wedndsday his Honour Judge Williams heard the case of Henry Vernon v. Windsor Jones, of the Rock Inn, and James Rowlands, all of Aberdare, which was an action to recover E4 for damages done to a gun the property of the plaintiff. Mr Thomas Phillips appeared for plaintiff and Mr Rhys for defendants. Vernon and several wit- nesses were called to prove the circumstances under which the claims arose, and one of them, named William Hewitt, stated that on Tuesday Windsor Jones threatened to beat him if he gave evidence, and followed it up with a message that if he appo:irod he would get nothing but lead. After hearing Mr Rhys, the Judge gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. Addressing the defendant Jones, he pointed out tbe grave consequences of threatening to injure a witness, whether he appeared upon a subpoena or not, and intimated that he had serious doubts whether it was not the best course to send him to prison for contempt of oourt. Such conduct was most abominable, and if repeated would meet with severe punishment.- Bevan v, T. W. Evans and Shellick.—This was a case in which plaintiff, a furniture dealer in Cardiff, let some goods ou hire to a Mr Compton, of Mountain Ash. Mr Compton, on leaving the place, took the goods to the public market, where they were sold by defendant Evans, an auctioneer, to Mrs Sellick, by public auction. His honour made this a cest case, several others of a similar nature being on the plaint list, and, upon going tully into the authorities, decided that the auctioneer was not liable and gave his verdict accordingly, but gave a verdict for plaintiff against Mrs Shellick for 10s. BOARD OF GuxaDlANs. — At Saturday a moot- ing of the Merthyr Board of Guaidiaus, Mr W. Jones, J.P., presiding, Mr Morgan, master of the Workhouse, sought the opinion of the board as to the Chrisma* dinner. Mr David Jones, Glebeland, proposed that the Christmas diuuer be given to the inmates as usual. Mr Joseph Owen seconded the proposition. Mr Tudor Williams, Aberdare, said Mr David* Williams, Taff Brewery, was prepared, with his usual generosity, to give a barrel of beer. Mr David Williams subsequently rose and said, although he had just consented to give a barrel of beer a* usual, his friend on the right (Mr W. Williams) said it was" corruption," aud that he was liable to prosecution. [.\J r David Williams, it should be explained, is a candidate for a -eat on the county oouncil.] He did not know if that was so, and he would put himself in the chairman's hands. Mr Thomas Phillips, Aberdare: I he inmates are not voters. The motion was agreed to and the gift accepted. The committee ap- pointed to considor applications for the collector- ships at Peuderyn and Rhigos reported that they had gone through 3i applications, and they re- commended that the appointments be made separately. For each appointment they had reduced the number of applicants, whose namea they now gave. The question was put as to whether the final selection ehould be made at that meecing. It was decided by a vote ot 18 against 15 to adiourn the election until next Saturday. The Deputy-Clerk reported in re- gard to Mr Meredith Jenkins, late assistant overseer at Penderyn and Rbigos, that the balance of the amount due under the magis- trates' order had been paid over by him. and the accounts having been audited by the auditor, the money received, vie., £ 252 5s 5d, had now been disposed of as follows :— £ 100 was paid to the credit of the Penderyn School Board, from which there was a call of £ 100; £ 100 to the Merthyr Union for Pendoryn parish S2 os od was paid to the union tù the credit of the union. The registration of Mr Thos. E. Jones, medical officer and jpublic vaccinator for Pend&ryn and Rhigos, was received and accepted. M r J. T. Jones, Hirwain, was suggested as his successor, but it was decided to defer making any appoint ment until next Saturday.

His Worship said it was rather dangerous to go begging to a policeman. Fined 10s and costs, or fourteen days. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—William Phillips, drover, was summoned for cruelly illtreating a calf. P.S. Evans said that about a quarter-past 10, on Tuesday morning, the 27th November, he saw the defendant and another man driving several cows and calves up Hirwain-road. On turning into Mill-street the calves became wild and ran about the road. Defendant, with a thick walking, stick struck one of the calves across the head, almost striking it down. He also struck the animal about the side. Witness went up to him and spoke to him about his cruelty. Defendant said he would knock its brains out if it tried to run faster than he did. The Bench considered that defendant had acted in a disgracefully cruel manner, and ordered him to pay a fine of 10s and costs, or fourteen days COAL STEALI»A.—Edward Chapel, a collier working at the Werva pit, was charged with stealing coal, the property of Mr James Lewis. P.C. J.

Defendant said he was talking to a young man, when another man came up and struck him. His Worship said the fact of another man striking defendant in the street did not allow him to have a stand up fight, causing an obstruction. Fined 58 and costs, or seven days. THE "JACK THE KIPPBK SCARE.— Bliriam Howells, Penrhiwceiber, appeared in answer to the adjourned charge of sending threatening letters, signed "Jack the Ripper," to Mr Magor and Miss Smith, Penrhiwceiber, on the 15th alt. Mr Thos. Phillips was for the de- fence. Mr North, stipendiary magistrate, now delivered the deferred decision. He said it had been a matter of grave deliberation with the bench respecting the course they should take with regard to the defendant, because she must know that although she thought she was doing something very funny, she was com- mitting a serious crime. She sent to two women letters threatening to murder them. Sho said she only meant it for fun, but it was not a question whether the letters were sent in fun or with the deliberate intention of carryiug out the threat conveyed that was not what they had to consider- What they had to coosider was, did she seed these letters to these women threatening to murder them. The matter with them was whether .they should send her for trial to the assizes, and if she had been so dealt with, she would have been liable to be sent to penal servitude for life. She never thought of that. (Defendant: No, sir.) No; nor did she think of the effect it would have upon these two unfortunate women. He thought it was an equally unfortunate thing for her to have made a joke of the crimes in London of a ruffian, who so far had not been found. She had made ajoke of crimes of a revolting character. He hoped she was thoroughly ashamed of it, and that it would be a les-ion to her, and to every- one else who had thought well to make these matters a subject of joke, and that they would hear nothing more of this. Mr Rhys Anouymom letters of every kind are bad enough. — The defendant was tbn:) di misied, the magistrates disallowing the expenses of the two witnesses who wore with defendant when she wrote the letters, as they as guilty as she were was. The expenses of Mr Magor aud Miss Smith were allowed. DRUSK ON LICENSED PREMISES — James Pritchard, a young man, was charged with being drunk and disordorly on licensed pre- mises in the occupation of David Nicholas. Elizabeth Nicholas, said her father kept the Central Hotel, at Aberdare. On Monday de- fendant came in, but she could not say when. Some people began to fight. She heard the row from the kitchen, and afterwards saw them fighting through and through. She was in the C, passage trying to get some of the fellows out. Saw defendant there and asked him to go out. He was under the influence of drink. She did not kuow who gave him in oharge. The police- man took him out because he would not go the first time. He struggled a little. Her father sent for the police. Defendant said his brother was beaten and .he was only taking his part. P C. Chas. Lewis said that at 6 o'clock, on Monday evening, he waa called to the Central Hotel by the landlord, who told him there was a fight going on iu tho house. He went there and found defendant, who was drunk, struggliug with last witness. Defendant took hold of him by thp throat. He refused to give his name several times. He had his hat and coat off and his sleeves turned up. Defendant sq,id ho would give him a good hiding if he took him to the station. In defence, defendant said he was not worse than other people in the room. His Worship: Perhaps not, but that is no reason why we should let you off. This is a very bad case, for when the constable came in to stop a row you attacked him at once. Fined 15s and oosts, or three weeks in default.
RHONDDA COAL TRADE.
RHONDDA COAL TRADE. IMPORTANT LETTER TO MABON, M.P Mr W. Jenkins, Y "lr..tlfechan House, agent of the Ocean Collieries, has writton an important letter to Mr W- Abraham, M.P., in regard to tke resolution in fay<?ur of a monthly holiday adopted tpt the l^st monthly meeting of the Rhondda M-iuers7 .o«i*tion lf4a latter has been printed, and thousands of copies will be distributed amongst the workmen of the seyen Ocean pits. "I think, writes Mr Jenkins, that I should bo failing in my duty to the workmen employed at these collieries, and to my company, did I remain silent and passive while this question of restriction is being agitated. The communication proceeds :— Restriction, to be of any service to the mining ooj»ro«i>/ty generally, can only be so during a falling oj 4«p'«§se4 market, and that only with a view of equalling the supply PQ the demand. It must not be forgotten that it is & two-edged weapon even then. Restriction dm ing a rising or inflated market is about as senseless a proceeding as it is possible for a community to conceive. It is little short ot suicide. Its operation is to enhance prices artificially to an amount greater than the intrinsic value of the article, thereby tending to create a panic, and frightened away thpse that would be customers, and bring ruin upon actual oustomers; in other words-" Killing the goose that lays the golden egga. 1^8 be well known to the miners of South ^Valee generally, for they have had several experiences of it to my knowledge and reoolleotion as a colliery manager amongst them. 4-fter expressing deep regret that there should now he put forward by the Welsh miners a scheme the countefpafl1 of which has so miserably failed in the past, Ml: Jenkins pro- ceeds What I conceive is to the interest of the mining community is a steady market-the price of coal not being too high nor yet too low, say, without binding oneself to figures, a market having a range of from 10s to 12s per ton free on board at Cardiff. I name these sums believe- ing that when the coal is sold at a price below 10s per ton the consumer has it too oheaply, and the mining community is, consequently, at a disadvantage. Again, same coal reaches above 12s per ton it become too dear, and the consumer is at It appears to me that a range between these two sums as the price of coal free on board at Cardiff is one that should be satisfactory to all parties. The miner, if he worked regularly, would get a fair wage, the proprietor a fair pront, and the consumer an article worth his money; and jit is to the attainment of a steady market, with prices ruling between 10s as a and l^s^as a maximum, that effort should be made by all parties interested in the coal trade. Mr Jenkins proceeds to say that when the price of coal is 1 Is the men should continue to work regularly, earn good money, spend what is uecessary only for the confort of themselves and families, any surplus beyond that to be placed in Savings Banks regularly. When the coal is 12s, or with a tendency to go upwards, they should work with all their might# and send out as much coal as possible. They will thereby give the consumer confidence, and induce consump- tion. steady the market, and earn for themselves good money. The ooUiery proprietor WAll also reap & fair profit, and happiness all round ought to ensue,"
THE SOUTH WALES MINERS.
THE SOUTH WALES MINERS. MASS MEETING AT ABERDARE. The monthly meeting was held at the Temperance Hall, Aberdare, on Monday. The attendance was exceedingly good. Mr Henry Richard, Gadlys, presided. Mr Henry Davies, Aberaman, was appointed secretary. Mr David Morgan, Aberdare, and Mr Isaac Evans, Neath, miners' agents, were also present. Mr D. Morgan addressed the meeting at some length on the Nantmelyn arbitration oase. He de- nounced the press very strongly for not giving a fair report of what he had said at the last monthly meeting. Mr Isaac Evans (Neath), who was very cordially received, spoke upon the award in the Nantmelyn case. He said that in future he would never advocate disputes in South Wales to be settled by arbitration. Much more good could be done and obtained by conciliation. He also stated that the award of Judge Williams in this case (Nantmelyn) was the most incon- sistent and unjust that he had heard of. He (\1r Evans) had received a letter from Mr Hood, the arbitrator for the employers, to the effect that the two should see the colliery for them- selves. Ultimately Mr Hood declined to visit the colliery on the ground that he was quite satisfied with the evidence brought forward. He (Mr Evans) accompanied by Mr D. Morgan and Mr Thomas, the manager, visited the mine, and the evidence given beforo the arbitrators was not in accordance with what he and the others saw at the pit. Mr Evans then criticised the award very severely. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr Evans for his honest and straightforward conduct throughout this dispute, and when returning thanks for same. Mr Evans incidentally mentioned that he had met Mr Hood at Cardiff the other day, and that gentleman told him that, had the case in dis- pute been left to the sliding-scale committee, he (Mr Hood) believed that the workmen would have received a more favourable award than that given by the arbitrators. Mr D. Morgan stated that the dispute now had been settled by a local committee, and that while he and Mr Evans contended for 7 i per cent. advance, the local committee succeeded in getting 6 per cent., which was on the whole satisfactory. The meeting advocated the desirability of the work- men contributing one penny per head towards the proposed statute of the late Mr Richard to be erected at Tregaron. MONTHLY MEETING AT TON. The monthly delegate meeting in connection with the association was held on Monday at the Windsor Castle Hotel, when there were no fewer than 34 delegates present. Mr W. Abraham, M.P. (Mabon), agent, was also in attendance. The workmen of the Ynysowen ( Merthyr Vale) olliery were received as mem- bers of the district. At the suggestion of M abon the consideration of the question as to the best mode of amending the sliding-scale governing the wages at the associated collierios was post- poned pending action on the part of the com- mitee of 12 men appointed at the Aberdare Con- ference last week to approach the masters, in company with the workmen's representatives on the sliding-scale committee, with a view of obtaining an advance of 5 per cent. in wages and a revision of the scale agreement. The following resolution was passed:—" That this meeting is ot opinion that the nine hours' system should be more strictly adhered to; and, seeing that the day men will have to suffer the loss of the monthly holiday, we impress upon the colliers also that they, in their felling of co vl in the remaining days of the month, will adhere to the same principle, and that the system of regulation be considered at each colliery during the month, and a final settlement be come to on the matter at the next meeting." With refer- ence to the dispute as to the identity of the seam of coal worked at the Albion Colliery, a resolution was agreed to urging the workmen to abide by the decision of Mr Joseph, the arbitra- tor, and proceed at once to formulate a list of prices based upon those prevailing in the p I i. Rhoudda district. It is pleasiug to find that dispute, which has lasted for several months, has thus at last been settled. A deputation of six workmen, in addition to the agent, was ap- pointedjto interview the inspector of mines for the district, in company with the committee of employers, in order to decide upon the kind of lamp that will meet the requirements of the new Act. It was decided, That the Treharris question as to driving the headways on stall prices be left to Mr Abraham and the colliery workmen for settlement."

LONDON CYMRU FYDD SOCIETY. SPEECHES BY MR PRITCHARD MORGAN AND MR FOULKES GRIFFITHS. On Tuesday evening the London Cymru Fydd Society held a meeting at Fetter. lane, to discuss the question of How best to promote the aims of the Welsh National Council." There was a large attendance, and amongst those present were Mr Pritchard Morgan, M.P., Mr Arthur Williams, M P., Mr Thomas Ellis, M.P., and Mr J. W. Philips, M.P. The first resolution, moved by Mr Lleufer Thomas and seconded by Mr Lee Roberts, formerly of the London School Board, expressed approval of the action of the Welsh National Council in widen- ing its usefulness by admitting within its circle such organisations as the London Cymru Fydd association and kindred societies.—Mr Pritchard Morgan, M.P., proposed the next resolution, which urged upon the Government the import- ance of translating the Local Government Act into Welsh without delay, and rejoiced over the strenuous efforts now being made to return Nationalists for seats in the 13 county councils ot Wales —Mr Morgan, as one of the deputation which approached AJ r Kitchie on the subject of translating the Local Government Act, spoke most strongly in favour of that course, and from private knowledge expressed the opinion that the request of the deputation would ultimately be granted. In the course of an effective speech, he avowed himself to be in close sympathy with the national claime of Wales, and, as a colonist, who for more than 20 years had lived under a beneficial Home Rule, he advocated the right of the principality to control its own affairs.—Mr Foulkes Griffiths, who con- tested Merthyr against Mr Morgan at the recent election, seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr Thomas Ellis, M.P., in a pow- erful speech. -The resolution was oarried una- nimously.

Thomas, excise officer, who died on Saturday morning. Among those present were Mr Clay, Taff Vale Railway, and Mr Llewellyn, Great Western Stationmaster. After some formal evidence by Mr Rhys Thomas, supervisor, Merthyr, Dr Dyke was called. He said that on last Saturday week he attended the deceased, and found him suffering from a fracture of the right leg. The wound was extensive, both bones being splintered. Witness told him it was absolutely necessary that amputation should be performed then and there, and deceased decidedly refused to allow it to be done. The usual fever resulted, and lasted three or four days. When the fever dsclined, and there was no hope of recovery, he still advised him that there should be ampu- tation, and he consented to the operation on Friday. His leg was amputated, and he died on Saturday, not having recovered from the shock. In reply to the coronor, the doctor said he believed the injured man would have be- come thoroughly well if he had consented to the operation. Edgar Thomas, sou of the deceased, said his father was 42 years of age. Benjamin Roderick, lampman, Tuff Vale Railway, said the Taff train was being shunted back into the do- parture platform, when he uoticed the deceased with his leg between the footboard and the plat- form. He called out, and the train was stopped. William Davies, shunter, said when he heard the last witness call out he put on the break and shewed the red light to the driver. When the train was stopped the deceased's shoe was out away and his foot released. Mr Clay observed that he believed the deceased, who lived at 11, Fair View-terrace, had been in the habit of going up the railway as a short cut, and Mr Llewellyn said he was a tress passer in every way. Dr Dyke said deceased told him that he got on to the footboard, and forgot about the inclined platform-that was how his leg was caught. The jury found that deceased died from injuries accidentally received. RHONDDA VALLEY. VIOLENT ASSAULTS.—At the Ystrad (Rhondda) police-court on Monday-before the Stipendiary (Mr Ignatius Williams), Mr J. Blandy Jenkins, and Mr D. W. Davies-Thomas Thomas, collier, Ynyshir, was charged with having committed a violent assault upon James Miles, stoker, at the Butcher's Arms, Ynyshir. The parties were drinking together at the public-house, and complainant said that because he could not read a medical certificate, which the defendant p oduced, the latter struck him a blow on the mouth and another en the side of the head —Ordered to pay tho costs and find a surety to keep the pence, in default, 14 days.—Jonah Bridge, Trealaw, was summoned by Joseph Thomas for assault. Complainant deposed that he met the defendant near the Salvation Army Barracks, a few evoniugs ago, when the accused, without a word of warning, struck him on the mouth and in the eye. It transpired that complainant, some six weeks ago, had summoned defendant's sister-in-law.— Fined JE1,

PENRHIWCEIBER WORKMEN'S INSTITUTE
PENRHIWCEIBER WORKMEN'S INSTITUTE OPENING CEREMONY. On Monday afternoon the Workmen's Insti- tute and Concert Hall, at Penrhiwceiber, was opened by Lord Aberdare. The building was erected by Messrs Batchelor and Snowdon, from designs by Mr Bruton, Cardiff. The reading and billiard rooms are on the bisement, and the concert hall-which is spacious and fitted with a good platform and substantial seats-is on the grouaa floor, with entrance from the main street. It may be stated that the movement to establish the institute received its impule when Mr L. Llewellyn, the present chairman of the com- mittee, succeded in his capacity as member of the local school board, in getting the poundage rates chargeable to the workmen reduced from lid to I d. When this reduction was made by the school board, the workmen, after some de- liberation, decided to devote the id in the £ which had been saved to the purposes of the institute. They approached their employers, the Penrhiwceiber Colliery Company, who very generously agreed to provide the capital required -about £ 2,000—the workmen to pay back in- ctalments in the form of the poundage, which amounts, we believe, to about 1; 120 a year. In 12 or 15 years it is calculated that the employers will have been paid back the sum aivanced, and the hall will then become the absolute property of the workmen. The secretary of the com- mittee is Mr W Thomas, and the treasurer Mr E. Jones. Much interest was evinced in the opening proceedings on Monday. Lord Aber- dare opened the front door of the building with a suitably-inscribed silver key, presented to him for that purpose by the chairman of the committee. His lordship subsequently took his seat upon the platform, where seats were also occupied by Lady Aberdare, the Hon. Pamela Bruce, the Hon. Miss Lily Bruce, Mr D. A. Thomas, M.P., Mrs D. A. Thomas, Alderman Richard Cory, Mrs Cory, Mr W. Thomas, J.P., Colonel Gray, Mr Morgan Morgan, and Mr J Long. Mr Llewellyn said before he called upon Lord Aberdare to address them he wished to state that that fine hall in which they were met stood there as the result of the exertions and combined efforts of the Penrhiwceiber workmen and their generous employers. (Hear, hear.) He ad- verted to the aa istance Lord Aberdare was ever ready to render in connection with good causes for the benefit of the masses, and spoke of the value of education and of the commendable object of the institute. Lord Aberdare, who was received with ap- plause, said he had had an interview that morn- ing with a gentleman who was as well acquaint- ed with the coal fields of the county as any gentleman who resided in the county, and among the many things he said to him was that he considered the coal of Penrhiwceiber was equal to the very best coal produced in Wales (Hear, hear.) He need not say if it was equal to the best produced in Wales, it was probably better than any produced out of Wales. (Laughter and hear, hear.) Now, he was happy to think that in Peurhiwceibor it was not only the coal that was good. He had watched the growth of Penrhiwceiber with great interest, and he thought it was right that the newest villages of that character should be the best. They profited by the disasters as well as by the attainments of those who had preceded them. They took care that their ^houses should be roomy, the draining good,* and the water supply satisfactory, and they did all they could to make the village suitable for the habitation of civilised men. Penrhiwceiber, in fact, compared very favour- ably with other places in the surrounding dis- tricts in regard to the comfort and the general character for cleanliness of the houses. But that was not all. He had long known it to possess o'e of the best schools in the locality. When ho thought what that valley was in his early days, and he looked at it now, he was struck with the rapidity of its progress, which was beyond all expectation. The effect of these sohools had been perfectly marvellous. He saw at the head of their schools children of working men who had reached honourable positions and obtained the respect of everybody. After dwelling further upon this aspect of the question, he said one advantage of education was that it made men look before them. They were no longer the creatures of mere impluse, but they looked to the result of their action. I hey had heard a great deal lately about the ex- traordinary decrea-e of crime' He remembered when Home Secretary being ridiculed by the Pall Mall Gaxette on this decrease of crime," and whenever some horrible murder was com- mitted, they would ask in the paper, What does Mr Bruce say now about the decrease of crime ? "-just as if the crime of the country could be indicated by these desultory occurr- ences. They knew, he proceeded, that in re- gard to the grave crime of the country, it was not only less by one-half in proportion to popu- lation than it was twenty years ago, but it was actually less than one-half of what it was then, when the population was five or six millions less than 'it is now- (Applause.) The country profited, too; the development of the latent talent that existed in their midst, which was so often lost in connection with the working classes, who, however, seemed naturally to be as capable of producing men of talent who would be of service to society as any class. Speaking of the increased facilities for education whjch were now afforded, be alluded to the efforts which were being made in connection with the University College, Cardiff, to give the working classes improved chances for pro- moting the education of promising children. Now, it was suggested by a commission, of which the late late Mr Heary Richard and him- self were members, that a l uge uumb ir of the endowments of the country were poorly used at present, and might bo devoted to the educa- tional iuterests of the people lie instanced what was proposed to de done with funds derivable from Craddook Wells' endowment at Cardiff for the benefit of local students, and alluded to the opposition offered to that scheme, wnichr however, he hoped would be passed in a few weeks. When it V46 passed they would see the beginning of a new state of things, and they would see the advancement of some of the working men at Cardiff, He then reminded them of the proposed scheme of Mr Ivor James to provide scholarships for the colliers of the district generally, It was taken up rather warmly at first, but bad times came; £ he colliers had hardly enough to live upon, and the scheme felt through, IJut when prosperity returned, perhaps something would be done. At any rate what he wanted to call their atten- tion to was this—that in connection with the college they had done their best to found schemes that would enable all classes to benefit by the very best education the country could supply. In continuation he recognized the comparative excellence of the local public houses. Whilst admitting that great good was done by the preaohers of total abstinence, he thought that those who advocated strict temperance were most kkely to succeed. They must eduoate the working claaaes, and teach them to feel that it was not to their interest to be drunken. In the course of further remarks, Lord Aberdare said that it would be a great advantage to the locality were a lending library added to the institute. He congratulated the masters and workmen there most heartily upon the erection of the building. He was yery glad to see the masters come forward liberally, but he was still more pleased to see the workmen themselves con- tributing liberally. He conoluded by expressing the hope that suocess long, lasting, ana complete would attend that excellent institution. On the proposition of the Rev Mr Davis second by Alderman Cory, (who warmly acknowledged the noble services, not only of Lord Aberdare, but also of Lady Aberdare, and other members of his lordship's family), a hearty vote of thanks for opening the institute was ac- corded to Lord Aberdare. An admirable concert followed, in which Madame Williams-Penn, Miss Lucy Clarke, Hos Morlais, and Ap Herbert sang some excellent songs. A pianoforte duet was played by Miss E. S. Colston and Mr Long, and the Mountain Ash glee party rendered one or two selections. A Second concert was given in the evening. An excellent luncheon was provided for visitors who attended the opening ceremony by the land- lady of the Lee Hotel. "I
