Editorial Notes.
Editorial Notes. The battle-cry of Welsh Liberalism has been sounded at the great Convention which was held on Tuesday at Carnar- von; it was the ringing call of an un- divided nation upon the most vital ques- tions which affect, the welfare of Wales. From Caergybi to Caerdydd came repre- sentatives of Welsh progressive thought, imbued with the Welsh fighting spirit, and nurtured in their country's traditions to do battle for religious equality in their own beloved land, and for taxation' with representation. The corn gm,lad" was sounded by the Welsh National Liberal Council, of which the Right Hon. D. Lloyd George, M.P., is president, and right loyally did the men of Wales re- spond to the call to arms. The Convention marked the beginning of the electoral campaign in Wales, and it has given to Welsh Liberalism such a set-off that not even the strongest Tory citadel in Wales can withstand. What- ever has been the history of the Prin- cipality in the past; to whatever extent the petty quarrels and dissensions of the old Welsh chieftains had torn the ranks of the country, to-day it stands forth in all the array of battle presenting an un- divided front to the enemies of Welsh religious liberty. Of the questions which pre-eminently affect the Welsh people, there has been no shirking. The Dis- establishment of the English Church occupies a prominent position in the Liberal programme. On this great ques- tion, as Mr. Lloyd George assured his hearers, there has been no change of front. The Disestablishment and the consequent Disendowment of the "Alien" in Wales is really a matter of time, and it is a significant fact in the history of things that the ablest men in the younger ranks of the clergy are warmly in its favour. Why is this so? The question is easily answered. As Lord Macaulay puts it in his essay on The History of the Popes," a wealthy endowed Church has no place inside its portals for enthu- siasm it is sneered at" and frozen out of the Church. This has been the his- tory of the Church of England all along. Men fired by religious enthusiasm were treated as fanatics, and branded as heretics. Their enthusiasm found no sympathy within the frozen atmosphere of Church ceremonial, and they left the older, institution to found other sects wherein their burning zeal" might find vent. This is how Nonconformity came into existence, and what was true of the Church two or three centuries ago holds true still. With regard to the Education ques- tion, so much has been said and written that the arguments for reform need no recapitulation here. With the advent of a new Government—a, Government eminently representative of the people- we can look forward with considerable sanguinity to seeing the barriers and anomalies which were created by the late discredited Government being swept away. It only requires a strong mandate from the electorate to accomplish this, and that this will be given to the present Government we have not the least doubt. On the Temperance question, not the least discrepancy exists. The peoole of Wales are determined to have a better licensing legislation in the future than that which has existed in the past. The Welsh nation are nothing if not deter- mined on this question. Great as was the opposition which the Licensing Act of the Tories created in other parts of the United Kingdom, it by no means surpassed the wrathful opposition with which it was hailed on all sides in the land of the "Menyg Gwynion." The Lilerals have an ambitious programme, a thoroughly domestic programme, and of the reforms which are promised we have every confidence that in them Wales will have a glorious share. The electors of the country need not be alarmed at the parrot-cry of the Tories about the Hoane Rule bogey. From every Conservative platform, that cry is vociferated with a gusto that makes one feel almost alarmed at what will be the ultimate fate of the country under Campbell-Bannerman despotism. Mr. Chamberlain, impelled undoubtedly by the same unerring prophetic instincts as those which impelled him to predict such black times ahead to this country because of its adhesion to Free Trade, is again at his old game, prophesying for all he is worth no end of dire calamities should Ireland be granted a measure of home government. We learn from his speech to his electors at West Birmingham that Ireland will be a sort of jumping place for every enemy of the country who desires to take it; and we are also warned in the same solemn prophetic strains that we will htive to protect ourselves against Ireland as though it were a foreign coun- try. This is, indeed, a gloomy, nay, a terrifying outlook, and if England, Scot- land and Wales desire to avoid the spec- tacle of seeing their land overrun by all sorts of heathenish enemies, led by Irish irreconciliables, well, let them return to power the party which, next to Heaven, has been the salvation of this country in days gone by. Home Rule for Ireland is truly a terrifying prospect,, judged by the frenzied outbursts of these patriots. Why all this clap-trap about Home Rule we cannot conceive. Has not the Prime Minister stated distinctly the stand which he takes on the Irish question? Did he not state in unmistakable terms that the Liberals would be no party to legislation which meant the- separation of the Green Isle? But to grant Ireland a measure by which she may have control over her own domestic affairs is far removed from the alarming picture which Mr. Chamber- lain so vividly portrays. We will go further, and say that this measure of domestic government ought to be granted to not only Ireland, but England, Scot- land and Wales also. To take only Wales. If Wales had been granted the power to control her own educational policy, we would not have had the Welsh revolt. We in Wales surely know the, need of our own country and how to deal with them better than the maojrity of the House of Commons members, who have never set foot in Wales, and who kno w nothing of its inspirations, its traditions, and its religion. Further, has not Mr. Balfour himself admitted that Parliament is blocked by local Bills and local legis- lation? If we in the Rhondda needed some great, municipal reform, would not that reform be better understood and appreciated by a Welsh Parliament, sit- ting, say, in Cardiff, than in London, where half the niembera are ignorant of the geographical position of the Rhondda ? What, then, is eminently needed in Wales, is also as much needed in Ireland. The last Parliamentary Session was an extremely barren, one. Why ? Simply because the business of the House was blocked by private and local Bills* The Romer Rule cry is simply another red herring" to blind the British people to their own interests and to cover up the hideous blunders of Toryism during the past ten years We are glad to find that Mr. W. Brace. the Liberal and Labour candidate for South Glamorgan, has been speaking so forcibly upon the Chinese indentured labour question. He had some plain truths to tell the electors of Oymmer about this most infamous introduction, and it will be well for them to reme-mber when election day comes round that the present sitting member, Col. Wyndham- Quin, was a supporter of that legis- lation.
The Extraordinary Man, Mabon.
The Extraordinary Man, Mabon. Humour of Missing Word Competition. What Our Readers Think of Him. In our Gossip column last week, we had the following paragraph:—"Mabon, despite his sixty odd years, is as active and as ever. Now, almost in the throes of the General Election, he is actively engaged in furthering the can- didature of his old friend, Mr. Brace, who is the Liberal and Labour candi- date for South Glamorgan." The word purposely left out was "buoyant," and to fill in the blank Mabon has been described in some very choice adjectives. Some of our readers have such an ex- cellent opinion of our hon. member that they vociferate their admiration in word., like untiring," zealous," able," while one, enamoured of Mabon's physical qualities, describes! him as robust," which he undoubtedly is. Others de- scribe him as indefatigable," un- wearied," and capable" while other competitors state that he is as strong as ever, whether mentally or physically we are not told. Another says that he is interested"—in what he does not say-while still another declares him to be witty," with which we entirely agree. He is described as being enthu- siastic and strenuous," and one com- petitor says he is "upright" as ever-a sentiment which, we are sure, Mabon will heartily appreciate. In quick succession come industrious," "good." influen- tial," and energetic," while others de- scribe him as sprightly," jovial," "staunch," and" vigilant." In some oases, we are told that he is as "healthy" as ever, which we all hope is correct, One keen competitor, with the memory of the tyon. member's attack upon Coloael Wyndham Quin rankling in his mind, says he is as watchful" as ever. Resourceful is a popular word; busy" is another, and persevering," "hearty," "earnest," "prominent," and vigorous" are prominent in the list. One describes him to be as sound' as ever, and another says that he still con- tinues "loyal," while a third says that he is still "diligeut," a fact which we do, not dispute, and to describe him as genial" is simply to tell the truth. An admirer says that he is "skilful," another ueelares him to be dexterous," and still another pronounces him to be clever," a fact, long ago admitted. He is "helpful" according to some competi- tors, hale according to others, while to describe him as popular" is simply tot state a truism. He may be "eagr"; he is surely alert" there can be no doubt that he is "obliging"; we hope he is happy"; he is undoubtedly noble and determined "—indeed, we won't deny that he is spruce," but surely is it not misplaced enthusiasm to say that he is youthful" ? And whether he is nimble" or not the hon. member alone can best satisfy us on that point. Those competitors who give on their coupons the word buoyant" as originally written, doubtless join us in the hope that he may continue so for many years to come.

Fire at Pent re. On Wednesday evening, a fire broke out, in a, cellar located under Messrs. Curitz's, clothiers, Ystrad Road, Pent-re. It art wears that Mrs. Dyer, the occupant of the premises, had put some wood on the stove on retiring to bed, which sub- sequently got ignited, and set, file to the mantelpiece. P.C.'s Evans and Clinch and Capt. Collier, of the Pentre Fire Brigade, were soon on the 'spot, and the fire was extinguished before any serious damage was done.

Chinese Slavery Denounced…
Chinese Slavery Denounced Mr. W. Brace at Cymmer. An enthusiastic meeting was, held at the Congregational Chapel, Cymmer, on Tuesday evening in support of the can- didature of Mr. W. Brace for South Glamorgan. The chair was occupied by Mr. W. T. Davies, solicitor. Mr. Brace, who was accorded a hearty reception said that as the late Govern- ment had legislated largely for the rich, and regardless of the claims of the poor, it was necessary that some attention should be given to the political pro- gramme of reform that would advance the standard of comfort of the mass of the people. There should be some mea- sure of reform to equalise the distribu- tion of the earnings of the nation in a much more just and satisfactory manner than could be accomplished upon the basis of the legislation projected by the late Tory Government (hear, hear). Deal- ing with the Chinese labour question, Mr. Brace said the ex-Prime Minister had ventured to defend the importation of Chinese indentured labour into South Africa, which he (Mr. Brace) had no hesi- tation in describing as the establishment of a system of Chinese slavery. If ever deception was practised upon the nation by the governing authorities, the intro- duction of Chinese after the South African war was most deceptive. It was stated on the authority of the Govern- ment that those who had served their country in the field would be given the first opportunity of obtaining employment in South Africa. Instead of that being the case, however, 50,000 Chinese were introduced, although at the time there was, and there was at the present time, plenty of labour to be secured for work in the mines other than that, which was a, disgrace to the British flag and the British people ("Shame"). If the elec- tors of South Glamorgan really allowed themselves to be again deceived upon the question of Chinese labour, as they un- doubtedly were deceived upon the Khaki issue submitted to them at, the last elec- tion, then he (the speaker) sadly mis- judged not only their intelligence but their determination to have a purer stan- dard of Government than they had ex- perienced during the last ten years of Tory rule (applause). Reference was made by the speaker to, a speech made by Mr. Dent the previous day at Llanelly, who was described as a well- known Londoln Labour leader." This gentleman it was reported, told the audience lhat he (Mr. Brace) had made the remark that Cobder.ism was cobweb- ism." He (Mr, Brace) denied having ever uttered sucn words. As a matter of fact, he had never seen or heard of this Mr. Dent. Mr. D. Watts Morgan and Mr. Thos. Richards, M.P., also spoke, the latter paying Mr. Brace the compliment of being one of the most conscientious and earnest Labour leaders in Great Britain.
Gossip.
Gossip. Serpent worship is one of the, most ancient and widespread forms of primi- tive religion, and still among many savage peoples. In Winchester Cathedral there is a door composed of four pieces of iron grille-work, which have the of being the oldest specimens of their kind in Britain. The length of time it is possible to keep awake is surprising. A Philadelphia physician names a medical man who went without sleep for eight days and nights; and another who did not go to bed for eighteen days, but got all the sleep he had while on horseback. A third did not sleep for fifteen days and nights, but ————— injured his health. Dutch fishermen have made some re- markable catches by means of a very simple expedient. They put a number of live worms into a bottle partly filled with water, which is then securely corked. The bottle is dropped into the water, and the fisherman sinks his line alongside. It arrears that the contents of the bottle so tempt the fish that they fall easy victims to the baited hooks.
Funeral of Miss Cassie G.…
Funeral of Miss Cassie G. Richards, Tonypandy. The interment took place on Friday afternoon last of Miss Cassie G. Richards, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Richards, Ce.atral Stores, Tonypandy, whose sad death, at the early age of eleven years, we regretfully recorded last week. The deceased young maiden's family being widely known and highly respected throughout the Valley, a large concourse gathered to shew their deep sympathy with the bereaved parents. The Rev. J. Nicholas (pastor) conducted the service at the house, while the Revs. T. T. Jones (Blaenclydach), E. Richards (Tony- pandy) and M. H. Ellis (Trealaw) offi- ciated at the service held at Moriah Bap- tist Chapel, Tonypandy. The mournful cortege afterwards wended its way to Trealaw Cemetery, the blinds being re- spectfully drawn in all the shops en route. Preceding were the juvenile mem- bers of Moriah Sunday School and Band of Hope; also a large number of Tony- pandy Council School scholars. The Moriah Sunday School Choir, conducted by Mr. Ted Hughes, Llwynypia, rendered the favourite hymn tunes of deceased's, viz., Calon Lan," "Mae pobpeth yn dda," "Plant ydym and "Adre'n d'od." At the gravesidel, the officiating ministers were the Rev. Charles Davies, Tabernacle, Cardiff, and the pastor. The wreaths were most beautiful, and were fotrwarded by Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Richards; Councillor and Mrs. D. W. Davies; Rev. and Mrs. John Thomas, Liverpool; Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Inquest at Pentre.
Inquest at Pentre. An inquest touching the death of Charles Gore, who met, his death at the Maindy Colliery on Tuesday morning last, was held at the Workmen's Insti- tute, Ton-Pentre, before Coroner Rhys on Thursday afternoon .<r Frederick Gore, brother of the deceased, said that deceased, who hailed from Tiverton, near Bath, was 41 years of age, and had a wife and two children. While following their occupation, a large stone came upon deceased, and when witness was in the process of extricating him, another large stone fell from the roof upon deceased's back. He died about ten minutes after- wards. Thomas Thomas, fireman, said that when he tested the roof a short time previous to the accident, it seemed to be quite safe and gave no indication of an early fall. A verdict of "Acci- dental death" was returned.
Bagatelle On Christmas Day.
Bagatelle On Christmas Day. An Important Point at Porth. A ease of considerable interest tu yu!)- TTcans was heard at the Porth Police Court, to-day (Thursday), when David James, the licensee of the Maxwell Hotel, r erndale, was prosecuted under the Gaming (Billiards) Aot, 1845, for allow- ing a game of bagatelle to be played at his house during prohibited hours. Considerable discussion was indulged in between the Bench and Mr. W. P. Nicholas, who appeared for the defence, as to what was specifically defined under the Act referred to, Mr. Nicholas con- tending that. bagatelle playing was not included in the license, but the Bench held that under the Sunday nosing Act the license covered the playing of bil- liards, etc., and therefore came under the section which stipulates that billiards, etc., could only be played when the house was open for liquor selling. The evidence of P.S. Thomas was to the effect that on Christmas Day, about 8.15 p.m., he visited the Maxwell Hotel, and in the billiard room he found several young men indulging in a game of baga- telle. He pointed to the proprietor that it was illegal to permit bagatelle playing at that time, and the latter replied that he was not aware that, there was any- thing wrong. Mr. Nicholas, for the defence, pointed out that the property had been licensed for 30 years, and his client, who was a long resident in the Valley, was most anxiotus that the license of the house should be kept unspotted. The Stipendiary: I don't think that, I would regard this offence as a spot upon the license. Continuing, Mr. Nicholas said that the house was situated near the Tudor Hall, where on that evening an eisteddfod was held. Without his knowledge, these young men had entered the hotuse from the eisteddfod and proceeded to the bil- liard room, which was really a tap-room, and in which no, fire or gas were lit. They lit the gas and proceeded to play a game of bagatelle. When P.S. Thomas called his :attention to these young men, he immediately put a stop to them. The defendant, David James, bore out the statement of his solicitor, and added that to his knowledge no one had been served with drink in that room that evening, neither had he received a penny for the game which was played there. The Stipendiary said that undoubtedly a technical offence had been committed and that the defendant was to a certain extent responsible for it; but he did not wish to press the offence, neither would he regard this as a blot upon the license of the house. The charge was dismissed upon pay- ment of costs.
