THE DISESTABLISHMENT SCRIMMAGE.…
THE DISESTABLISHMENT SCRIMMAGE. Football enthusiasts who are also Disestab- lish ers—they are probably few and far be- twcen-Al doubtless regard it as a good omen that Wales won the important "inter- national" match played only a day or two fee- fore the second reading debate on the Welsh Church Bill. That the match was won by the aid of Welshmen who are professional players engaged by English clubs enhances the value of the omen; for it must be re- membered that without converting the "pre- dominant partner," by the instrumentality Welsh representatives in England, the cause of Wales in Parliament is hopeless. Mr Asquith, in opening the debate, displayed to great advantage those superb forensic quali- ties which have won for him his great place in politics. Passion and prejudice had no place at all in his plea; of enthusiasm and sentiment there was, as chemical analysts say, "only a trace." His speech was that of a judge rather than that of an advocate. Both in the House and in the country, it must cany great weight. At the outset he showed in masterly outline how "the Established Church has privileges and obligations which no other religious denomination in this coun- try is entitled or subject to, and which have this common characteristic, whether they spring from common law or are derived from statute, they were conferred and maintained by the State." Equally worthy of the occa sion was the way in which the Home Sec- retary disposed of some of the more common fallacies of so-called "Church Defence." Hifl acceptance of the "continuity" theory will be resented by a great many people but his view as to that does not after all lead to any other practical Conclusion than that Parlia- ment in the sixteenth century, "did at that time assert and exercise the right of pre- scribing the conditions of tenure on which every ecolesiastical benefice in this country was held. That is the price which a National Church pays for the so-called privilege of I establishment." After protesting with some warmth against certain unworthy phrases I uttered by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Mr Asquith dealt with the question of nation- ality in a. way that must win the approval of every Welshman. The Government, he de- clared, "assert that the Welsh people are a. nation. Whether you look at its language, its race, its literature, its temperament, or its genius, there is as good cause for main- taining a distinct and corporate nationality in Wales as there is in England, Scotland, 1 and Ireland. If you look at the ecclesias- bicail history of Wales, the case is still stronger." A succint and! forcible summary of the history of the Church in Wales was then given by the speaker, to justify the statement that the Church was associated in the minds of the people "with injurious and humiliating memories." Having scouted the proposed "religious census" as unsatisfactory and inadequate, Mr Asquith defended some of the de-tails of the Bill, and finally com- mended it to the Hcuse, as one that would minister as well to the religious as to the social welfare of the country. It was a great speech; and one that will be gratefully re- membered in Wales for many a generation. Sir Michael Hicks-Beacli was the chief spokesman of ecclesiastical privilege and en- croachment. It is a pleasure to acknowledge that on this occasion, Sir Michael did not in- troduce into the debate that acrimonious spirit which so frequently disgraces ecclesi- astical controversy. Two points in his speech deserve particular attention. One was his candid admission that Disestablishment had I done good to the Protestant Chuich in Ireland. His words were "I for one admit that it has been an advantage to the Irish Church to secure freedom from interference in her ecclesiastical affairs cf those who do not belong to her commun- ion." That admission will do the Disest- ablishment cause much service. The second admission by the Tory champion was to the effect that it was a grievance for Noncon- formist freeholders to pay tithes towards the j Establishment—"I admit that I think that if I was in the same position, I should feel it something of a hardship myself." Sir Michael Hicks-Beach thought the Nonconformist free- holder in Wales would desire to apply the tithe derived from his property to go to endow the chapel to which he belongs; and he challenged Mr Asquith to propose a scheme i of concurrent endowment. The challenge, of course, merely serves to show what a rank outsider Sir Michael Hicks-Bea-ch is when he presumes to interpret the feelings of Welsh Nonconformist*. The rest of Sir Michael's speech was a mere stringing together of stale platitudes and exploded fallacies. He ended with an insult to Wales which means unmitigated mischief. It has be-en noticed that hitherto not a single Welshman has stood up to defend the Establishment. On Thursday, the same significant fact was observable. What is Sir Michael's answer? "I am convinced that Englishmen will never permit" the Bill to pass. So if comes to this, that John Jones is to be a beast of burden, and that John Bull will compel him to carry the "old-man-of-the-sea' on his shoulders for ever! This is a distinct chal- lenge to revolutionary methods. There will be wild work in Wales before very long, if the spirit of insurrection is to be aroused.

The name of Mr Foulkes Jones, of London, is once more mentioned as a probable Liberal candidate for the Montgomery Boroughs at the next general election. He hails from Machynlleth, and is the son of the late Rev J. Foulkes Jones, the well-known Calvinistic Methodist minister. During his stay in the Metropolis Mr Jones has taken a prominent part in all Welsh movements, and is at the present time secretary of the Cvmru Fydd Society. Being a fluent speaker in Welsh and English lie will, if elected, be a decided acquisition to the Welsh Parliamentary party. Some Welsh representatives have taken in hand the real v. ork of converting the English electorate to Disestablishment. Mr Burnie, Mr D. A.

Mir J.

With the utmost Tiaslpect and deference I hold a diffdierxt opinion, and have hitherto expressed it, and still mean .to dlo so unft.il the question is more definitely dtaaidled. I humbly desitre to state that the opriitan expressed1 by the law officers of the Crown on this point is not conclusive, and, in tihe albslemce of further legisllaitioai, cafn ontliy be deoo,ed in a court of law. In tttha meantime I venture to suggest tlhiait idhfii'mnan of parish councils, wishing to assert add oaniteislt tfliedlr riight to preside alt parish meetings, shoulld do so if they caire to indulge in the luxury of 12tilg(aibk>n, and so put tihe quiea^ibn to the test.

Mr Burnie's Bill to establish national assemblies and imperial federations has been printed. It proposes at the close of the present Parliament to establish assemblies for England, Scotland. Ireland, and Wales, with power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the four countries respectively, in respect of matters exclusively relating to the same, subject to the supreme power and authority of the Imperial Parlia- ment. The exceptions from and the restric- tions on the powers of the assemblies are detailed at length. The Welsh [National Assembly, if the bill is passed, shall consist of 102 members.

Wales is probably more prepared for the general election than any part of the United Kingdom. In 30 out of the 34 constituencies there are Liberal candidates. Of the four which as yet have no Liberal candidate, Cardiff and Cardiganshire are in process of supplying this want. The remaining two are Xorth Wales seats—the boroughs of Mont- gomeryshire and Denbigh. The Conserva- tives are also preparing for the fray, and there are only six seats where they have no candidate in the field.
