POLITICAL COMPL1 JESTS TO MR CHAMBERLAIN. J Sm,-Conservatlves and moderate Liberals pre- sent their respectful compliments to Mr Chamber .I lain, and would venture to assert that though he formerly possessed and now enjoys the fruits of a vtiluable monopoly in the screw trade, he must not, and cannot,lay claim to a monopoly of practical ki.id feelings and considerations for his less fortunate brethren, which he invariably parades in bis addressea. They would also call to his mind that the origina- tors of impracticable,nay,impossible projects,for the continued and sustained universal prosperity of the human race and those who make claptrap appeals to its worse nualities, have mostly been the iirst victims of the frightful state of things they have been If strumeutal in inaugurating, For exatnple The Girondins, the subsequent Hed Republicans, propagators of the Lrst French revolutionary sys- tem, and the leaders of the second state of grim mis-rule The Commune." Other countries when under mob law have been strong lUBtancea in point. Jack Cade, to wit. Further, unltss history and ex- perience are at fault,this horrible state of things has usually culminated, when it has had its full sway, in irreligion, streams of innocent blood being shed, arson and hideous unbridled license, to say nothing of boycotting and the mutilation of cattle, which miseries having become intolerable, nations have had to submit to the ironhand and heel ot military and other dictators, so that the last state of these people has been worse than the tirst, and this Bimply because agitators, for their own expected profit and aggrandisement profess to believe in Utopia rather than in the practical evidences of the sellish and cruel ferocity of maukmd, nay of womankind aleo, when let looBe from the civilising effects of religion, conscience and lawful restraint.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. SIR,-Under the above heading, a correspondent in your last week's issue drew attention to the desirability of resuscitating the Bangor branch of this association. I beg to thank your correspon- deut for his timely suggestion, and I sincerely hope that it will be he means, at least, of convincing your readers of the need that exists for an assoJa- tion in your city. How great that need is may be seen by any of your readers who have occabion to pass through High-street between the hours of seveu and nine p.m. What mean the members cf young men up and down with nothing to do, but occupy theT,??e.t ? Doe. it not denote that there are no place. to which they can go and spend their evenings profitably ? I, myself, think there is great credit due to the yountr men of Bangor for their sobriety under the many tempta- tions to which they ire exposed. Wtil not our temperance friends take this matter up, and save ouryoung men from entering the drinking saloon ? What is wanted in Bangor is an association with- out the" sectarian" spirit, which prevades many of the Literary Societies also a room to which young men may go and find agreeable and profit- able ernplovinetit. Such an association is the Young Men's Christian Association, fnll particulars of which may be had from the secretary, Young Men's Christian Association. Exeter Hall, Strand, Loudon. W.C. Who, among our Chris:ian friends of Bangor, will take tliis lIIatter up at once, by call. ing a meeting to arrange for the re- opening of an association whi-;h has ti l ame to live, but is dead ? During the uexi few weeks, I shall hope to see a few bills posted here and there announcing the above meeting, and I hope that. I shall not be dis- appointed.—Thanking you m anticipation for thel insertion of this letter, I rtm?n.iitr. yours respectfully, respectfully, ANOTHER lOuNCr MAN. September 29¡h.

CONSERVATISM AT BE CHESDA. Sin,- If the first two letters of Glyndwr are the accurate expressions of his views a jd thoughts, I submit, with every respect, that your readers, like myself, are forced to the conolusion that he clearly identifics "the weaker party who suffered oppres- sion with Conservatism. I have already shown that this is incorrect. "Glvndwr" h." entered, in his first, into a'i historical disquisition, and has traced the fortunes of Conservatism from those gloomy and evil days, when lL Conservatives could not but feel the good causs was under a cloud for a time, if not for ever," up to the present prosperous period of over a thousand certains, plus the un- known quantity of probables." Political principles have no place in "Glyndwr s category of antagonis ic influences whuh letarded the growth of the many elements in the strike and the subse- quent conduct of Unionists," appear to be the two most important factors in this direction. Your readers will best judtie the truth of the charge of misrepresentation brought against ine bv Glyn- dwr," and as both our statements and conclusions are supposed t) be figured in our letters, I aiii per- fectly content, rather than repeat what I h*ve before said, and run the risk of being tedious, to abide by the excellent alternative suggested by Glyndwr in one of his letters, that your readers should read our letters side by side, and draw their own inferences. If" Glyndwr" denies having im- parted political colour into the treatment of the men nho worked during the strike, how are we to understand his contention that Conservatism was under a cloud, not because all the workmen had received their just rights, but because one party was iu the ascendant, and the other and weaker party suffered oppression. The only two parties then existing, a'ld, indeed, known for some time after, were the strikers and nou-strik irs, and yet Glyndwr appear* to mnke out that the latter formed the nucleus of the fl ■ iris nng Bethesda Constitutional AasocUri I a n MO- yet convinced tlu\t I ouht t) 'lllIJ.lifl" ,,11 ",t concerning" all the elements of th-i ctfik^ I he elements of the strike were the matters in di, mte. the men's grievances and other matters Wiring directl.v upon the causes of the uprising. Tie f«t that it few chose to work was of no ro-iaidrrHtion whatever, and had no settling the dispute. It was condemned officially, and no cognisance was taken of the matter. It is a well-known fact, requiring no additional quotations by "Glyndwr," that Mr Pennant has ceased to recognise what is termed "Mr Pennant Lloyd's Agreement." but that is no proof of his disapproval of it eteven)eirs ago. It is quite possible for an arrangement, which was then necessary and feasible,to have now become in- practicable. The Agreement" was the result of the intense distrust entertained by the men of the then management. It is to be siucerelv hoped that "Glyndwr" is one of those who never prophesev unless they know, and that the investigation will come sooner than some imagine. A fair and im- partial investigation is just what the Unionists desire, and will be hailed with joy. reference to the Celt betrays his weakness, for, according to his former letters, the vile theory and injustice" had originated long before the teaching" of that paper. The paper mentioned has but a limited circulation as compared with other papers, but does "Glyn- dwr" know the capital made out of a certain item in its account of the libel-trial at Chester ? Does he recollect how the "weaker party" exul ted and thought that they had therein sufficient evidence to damage the reputation of the acting manager ? Were not efforts made to form petitions and call mass meetings to protest against Mr Evans' alleged duplicity? But the" Iydan" is not generally caught napping, and all machinations fell to the ground. Thai issue of the Celt contained agreeable matter for the "weaker party," and never before had" teaching" been accepted with more alacrity. I gladly accept Glytidwr's cor- rection as to the age of the Conservative organisa- tion, as the admission that the object of its re- organisation was to weed out the" traitors who to our councils came" was all thatl was required, and carries with it its own condemnation. The "traitors were all Nonconformists and were condemned as such, without the cuhtomary privilege of self-de- fence extended to all Britons, aneI,were not allowed even the names of their aensers. Some of these traitors have in their possession letters from the late secretary of the Conservative party in Bethesda, testifying to their zeal and labour on behalf of the liarty in 1880. Glyndwr" must know in his heart of hearts that this odious charge is entirely nu. founded and cannot be accepted by impartial wit- nesses as the true cause of the reorganisation process. Glyndwr" has either a short memory or an incomplete knowledge of affairs, when he asks why did not the men call Mr Tndno Jones to tcoount and make him eat his words, when he accused them point blank of havina been nntrue to their promises. They did so, snd that very effec- tually too. A crowded indignation meeting was held at th6 Market Hall, and among its chief pro- moters were the late secretary of the Pethesda Constitutional Association ,(Mr Eo P. Williams), and one or two gentlemen who are prominent fioureu with the present association.— Yours. Ac., t PONe LEVEL.

DANGEROUS DOGS AT LL 1NDUDNO. SIK,— \llow me to call the attention of those in authority here to the number of stray ownerless dogs now running about on Lhe Parade and Beach. Two of my little girls have been bitten by one of them to- day, wnile tryiug to recover a hattnat had been blown away. Surely Buch animals should be imi" unded liB at most towns they now are, aud not left to vent their evil tempers on tne unsuspecting public. I enclose my card and remain yours truly, Llandudno, September 24th. M. E. U.

PLAS MAWR, CONWAY. SIR -1 trust that you will permit me to add to my letter of the 17th inst the remark that the re- storation of PIas Mawr (were the project under- taken) conld be greatly furthered by a public sub- scription, to which some of the Welsh archceological societies and individuals interested in the preserva- tion of antiquities would, doubtless, contribute. Were such all appeal made, it should, I think, be accompanied by a short description of the house, its history, and features of architectural and anti- quarian interest, by some thoroughly competent person, and should be widely circulated both by means of the public Press and in pamphlet form. I observe that by a printer's error in your last issue, I am credited with having writtenI would further suggest that a part of the building icould be devoted to the uses of a free library and reading room;" whereas I really wrote that a part could or might, and not that a part would be devoted to those purposes. I merely suggested what well might,but would not necessarily, be done. Later on in the same letter, a piece of Eng- lish that cannot be construed has resulted from the substitution of is for my so."—I rest, sir, faithfully yours, faithfully yours, C. J. DAVIEb, Member of the Oxford Architectural and Historical Society. Penmaenmawr, 23rd September, 1885.

THE LLANDUDNO COMMISSIONERS AND THE HAPPY VALLEY NIGGER NUISANCE. SIR,—Allow me, as a constant visitor to Llan- dudno for the last ten years, to call your attention to the great mistake you are making in allowing a lot of common street niggers to monopolize, for begging purposes, one of the most beautiful spots in your town, namely, the Happy Valley. I have never heard so many complaints about business as I have this season amongst the shop- keepers, mostly all heavy ratepayers, who eay the Commissioners are greatly to blame for allowing these street niggerB to come on the Happy Valley at all, every day concentrating over a thousand visitors there all the afternoon, who otherwise would be distributed about the town, by which the ratepayers would benefit. They would patronise the pier, marine drive, boats, carriages, and shops in the town, etc. If the Commissioners could put a stop to the over crowding of excursionists to the town and other ruisances it would be well, as the better class who have been the main-stay of Llandudno will be flocking to other parts in the vicinity, where they can enjoy themselves in peace and get away from niggers, street preachers, and the madding crowd who are no use to anyone, but the butchers, bakers, and publicans. Unless soniethig is done the glorv of Llandudno will very soon depart.— Yoiirs sincerelv, J. B. ROBINSON. 12, Gloddaeth-crescent, Llandudno.

THE IPROPOSEi) GRANT TO j, LAMPETER COLLEGE. SIR,—At our half yearly meeting of the Carnar- vonshire English Congregational Union, the follow- ing resolution was passed to protest against the proprosed grant to Lampeter College, which 1 send you for inserting.—Yours truly, HUGH S. GRIFFITHS, Upper. Bangor. Secretary. beptember 30th, 1885. copy OF RESOLUTION. The English Congregational Union of Carnarvon- sbire, IIot its half-vearly meeting held at Colwyn fiav, September 23rd, 1885, having heard that a memorial is in course of signatuie for presentation to Lord Salisbury, asking for a grant in aid of the funds IIf Lampeter College, hereby earneBtly remonstrates and protests againtt the making of such a grant, for the following among other reasons. 1st. The college at Lampeter, being for the education of rniuisters of the Episcopal Church in Wales, is a denominational institution, and it would be unjlst to the people of Wales for the Govern- ment to single out one denomination for further patronage and endowment. 2nd. There are several other theological colleges in Wales connected with various religious denomin- ations, and supported by the voluntary gifts of those interested in them, and the principle of religious equality condemns the treating by the State of one such institution differently from the others while the principle of concurrenc endowment has neVer been accepted by the Welsh and English peoples. 3rd. A grant "former.y made by the Government to the college at Lampeter, was, for good reasons, withdrawn in 1873, and it is exceedingly undesir- able that the treatment of a question like this should be dependent on party changes in the occupancy of administrative power. In the present state of opinion in Wales as to the relation of the State to the churches, the application for such a grant will certainly be regarded as an endeavour on the part of the Established Church to secure further sums of public money for its own denomin- ational advantage, and the making of such a grant will exacerbate the disestablishment controversy.

The Order of Inebriates.Lewis Hughes, who did not appear, was fined 10s and costs for being drunk and incapable iu High-street on the 12th i.-t. Richard Jones, Llanbeblig, Carnarvon, was tined 7s 6;1 and costs for drunkenness on Sunday, the 13th inst William Pritohard, hawker, was fined 20s and costs for being drunk and disordtrly in West end, Bangor. David Rowlands, hawker, Glanadda, for whom his wife appeared, was ordered to pay a fine of 10s and costs. List of Jurors.—Mr Thomas, assistant overseer, Llandegai, presented a list of those qualified to serve as jurymen. There being no objection the Bench approved the list. Trespatsaifi in Pursuit of Game.—Thomas Williams, alias" Twm Cockles," and William Davies, both of Bangor, were summoned for being in pursuit of game, on the 12th September, on land owned by Lord Penrhyn.—Alexander Brown having given evidence, the Bench imposed a tine of 408 and costs.—Mr Barber prosecuted. A Stray Donkey.—Margaret Davies, otherwise known as Marged Pentraeth," was fined 2s 6d and costs for allowing a donkey to stray. Gross Ill-treatment of a Cl,ild.Ni.ry Ann Edwards, an old woman, living in Kyffin .square, was summoned for cruelly ill-treating a child which had been placed in her «harge.—Jane Ellis and another woman having given evidence to the effect that had they heard the child repeatedly cry and had seen it bearing traces of ill-usage, Dr. E. J. Lloyd depoBid that on the 21st of September he examined the illegitimarefemalechild of Ann Ellen Pearce, which was kept by the defen- dant. It was about two years of age. On its back he counted five contusions about the size of a shilling piece close te each other. There was also a contused wound, about an inch long, on the back of the shoulder. On the back of the thighs, there were several contusions of more recent date, and on one leg there was a contused wound about two inches long, which appeared to have been caused by a hard substance grazing against it. The child was rather delicate. It had evidently been cruelly treated.—Other evidence having been givea, the defendant, who denied the charge, was ordered to pay a fine of 403 and costs, or, in default, to go to prison for one month. Poor Rate.-Mr Griffith, assistant-overseer for the parish of Aber, applied to the Bench to have the poor rate signed. The rate was accordingly signed. Assaults. Thomas Williams, alias" Tom Cockles," was fined 10s for assaulting Peter Jones, coachman to Mr G. W. Cooke, Bryn Hall.—John Evans, Panton-street, Bangor, was fined 2s 6d and costs for assaulting his wife, Elizabeth Evans, and ordered to pay 88 a week for her maintainance. Non-payment of Rates.—Several persons were sum- moned for the non-payment of rates. An Ilotel-keeper Harbouring a Policeman.—John Towers, proprietor of the Railway Hotel, Bangor, was summoned for harbouring a policeman whilst on duty.—Inspector Roberts said: On the 11th of this month he was on duty near the Rail way station. He stayed there a few minutes, when he was joined by Sergeant Hughes. They remained there some. time longer, desiring to see P.C. 54. He was there altogether half an hour. At five minutes to eleven o'clock P.C. 54 came out of the Railway Hotel. Sergeant Hughes called him back. He (witness) asked P.C. 54 what he wanted in a public house. He said, "I haven't been there long." He told the constable that he (witness) had been there since twenty-five minutes past ten. P.O. 54 came on duty at nine in the evening and went off at one o'clock.- Croiti-exaiiiiiied by Mr l* A. Evans: The constable's beat was between GUnadda and the railway station. He was due at the railway station at eleven o'clock. He saw Mr Towers. the proprietor of the hotel, afterwards. A policeman had no right in a public house unless he was called in, or, it he was looking for sometoly. The constable must have been in the house about half an hour, as he was outside the house during the whole of that time. --Sergeant Hughes said on Friday nillt the lltli inst., about half-past ten, he went up High-street towards the railway station. He met the Inspector near the Railway Hotel. About five minutes to eleven o'clock he saw P.C 54 coming out of the front door of the Railway Hotel.—Cross-examined The hotel was not closed. He went to the hotel and saw the landlord, who informed him that he and his wife had just come home from Bethesda. He did not see P.C. 54 go into the hotel.-P.C 54 was then called. He said he remembered the 11th inst. when he visited the Railway Hotel. He had two glasses of beer there. The beer was served by a servant and paid for by somebody else. -Mr Evans, on behalf of Mr Towers, said there was no evidence to prove the offence with which be was charged. The landlord and his wife had been away at Bethesda that evening, and did not return till half-past 10 o'clock. Mr Towers never saw the policeman, who was served by a servant girl, who had since been dismissed. He condemned the practice of the police iu proving the cllse through the medium of a witness who hiniBelf wis really the guilty party, and bad brought trouble upon a house against which no pri)r proceedings had been insti- tuted during the tenancy of Mr Towerr.—Mr Pierce said that the bench were unanimously of opinion than an offence had been committed by serving the constable. Having regard to the good character which the Railway Hotel enjoyed, and to the fact that this was the first case of the kind which had for manv years come before them, a nominal penaltv of 20. and costs would be imposed, but future offences of the character would be severely dealt with. Aliened Indecent Assault.—The case of Richard Williams, who is charged with having on the 21st September committed an indecent, assault upon Klizibeth Alice Richards, aged seven years, was not gone into but adjourned for a fortnight. Alleged Stabhinj Case ne ir Banjor.—John Huxley, woodman, inflicting bodily harm upon John McLaren, game watcher in the employ of the Right Hon. Lord Penrhyn.— Mr Barber prosecuted and Mr S. R. Dew defendc the prisoner.—In opening the case, Mr Barber said the prisoner was apprehended at Llandegai by the police on the previous Sunday morning, but an. other man concerned iu the offence. the prisoner's brother, had not been summoned. The mo-t striking featnre in the affair was thlit II. knife" H, used by the prisoner, and that, apparently, with uit the siiahtest provocation whatever. That most detestable practice was so un-Welsh in its character that he need not inpress upon the Bench the seriousness of the oflencfl. but he would remind the magistrates that the case could not be dealt with summarily, and if not dismissed, would have to be sent for trial at the Quarter Sessions.—Prosecutor stated that he knew the prisoner and his brother by sight. On Saturday night, at 11.30. he was standing near the University College in com- pany with another game-watcher named Mclillan, and Eleazer Williams; they were talking quietly together, and none of them were under the influence of drink. Thev saw two men pass along the road from Bangor to Llandegai, but no words took place between any of the parties. Almost imme- ,t iately: after v.trds Williams left, but had not gone far when they heard themselves called, witness went a short distance when he met the two Huxleys and Williams. Headed why he was called. One of the men said he did not want him, but McMillan, who subsequently came up. Witness got angry at being called back, but he used no violence. A con- stable came on the spot and requested them to be quiet, telling the Huxleys to go home. They did go, but as the policeman was coming forward witness fplt a nain in the right wrist. Blood was running up his ern, and his coat- sleeve was cnt through. After having the wound dressed at Dr. Lloyd's surgery, he and his friend went after the Huxleys. -Cross-examined by Mr Dew: He aud his friend had been in Bangor since eight o'clock, and from that hour till eleven had visited one or two public.houses, He did say to the Huxleys lie was willing to fight them, as he was angry at beini called back, but he did not strike.—Duncan MMilIal1 gave corroborative evidence.—Eleazer Williams gave similar te8timony.-Dr. E. J. LloVd deposed that on the night in question McLaren came to his surgery with an incised wound on the front of the right wrist. It was four inches in length, and extended round the outer bor.e of the fore-arm. It was very deep, and touched the bony structure. It must have been caused by a sharp instrument Such J. wound could not have been caused accidentally. It must have been done by drawing a knife across the wrist. He did not think the wound could have ben self-inflicted. McLaren did not appear to he drunk when at the surgery, but was excited.—Cross-examined: He could not conceive it within the bounds of possibility for the wound to have been caused by any accidental means, or by the arm being thrust upon a knife held stationery.P.C. Hughes proved having appre- hended the prisoner, who said that he had a knife in his possession that night, and that he used it to scrape his nails with. He denied having intentionally stabbed the prosecutor.—Mr S. R. Dew submitted that there was no proof that the defendant i-.d the knife. If, however, the magistrates thought that a prim i facie case had been established, he was quite prepared to go before a jury,-The Bench retired, and upon their return into Court, the Chairman said: The Bench is unanimously of opinion that there is not sufficient evidence to convict, snd they dismiss the case.—Loud applause, which was instantly sn-pressed, followed the decision. Larceny by a Tat or.—Thomas Parry, tailor, Bangor, was committed for trial at the ensuing Quarter Sessions, on a charge of stealing a coat entrusted to him for repair.—Mr H. T. Roberts, of Carnarvon, prosecuted, and Mr Thoi -'on Jones defended.

POLITICAL MEMORA OA. The Marquis of Salisbury arrived at Hau.uid on Sunday night, from Dieppe. Mr Davitt addresses a monster demonstration at Mitchelstown on the 11th instant. It is stated that Mr Paruell will also address the meeting. In reference to a statement published to the effect that Mr Gladstone will leave for Scotland within the next fourteen days, with a view to addressing his constituents, Mr Gladstone telegraphs to the Central News Agency that the report is entirely erroneous. Mr. Bullock, the revising barrister for Cambridge, gave his decision, on Saturday, respecting the rights of residents in colleges to a Parliamentary vote for the borough. He held that Fellows of colleges as such were not entitled, but such of them as were holding office as tutor, bursar, lecturer, etc., were entitled to the service franchise. He dillallowed the undergraduate vote. The attention of Mr Chamberlain and Lord Randolph Churchill having bRen called to a grievance respecting the income tax felt by strug- gling tradesmen and professional men, Mr Cham- berlain replied by forwarding a copy of his speech of Januarj 14th last, approving Prince Bismarck's proposal for the tax to be graiuated according to the amount and to vary according to ine cnaracter of the income. Lord R. Churchill says the subject is receiving his attention. In a leading article the Standard speculates as to what sort of House of Commons will be elected next November. It does not take a very hopeful view of the prospect, and finishes its remarks by saying tbat" in all probability the House of Commons of the future will be decidedly comrnoupJa e a little incoherent, and not over-decorous. It will be a House that a dexterous politician will find it easy to lead-a House imbued with no strong sense of its own capacity, yet capable of very rash legislation a Home that will be more prone to do harm than good, though it will doubtless believe itself to be invariably acting from the noblest and best of motives."

Great Indu;tries of Great Britain. -This highly popular work, which is being produced by Messrs Cassell & Co. in monthly parts at a popular price, and will be completed in thirty parts, reaches its 19th part this month. It contains a variety of articles which will be eminently valuable to all who desire to make themselves acquainted with our great industries. The Encyclopedic Dictionary.—This is another stupendous work which is being issued in periodical parts by the firm of Cassell & Co. It will, when completed, embrace all the words in the English language, with a full account of their origin, meaning, pronunciation, history, and use. In Part 21 we commence with" cost," and end with croop." It certainly is the best and most admirably arranged dictionary extant, and it will be long ere its superiority can be eclipsed by any other publishing firm. The Life and II ork of St. Paul.—Part IX. brings us almost to a close of Canon Farrar's well-known work, which all Biblical students should possess. There can now be no plea on the ground of expense. Messrs Cassell have by their enterprise, issued it in monthly parts, which, when bound will make a portly volume. Popular Gardening.—Volume III. closes with the current monthly part. Professional and amateur gardeners could not select a better guide, and we strongly recommend them ti become sub- scribers f)r the work if they have not already ordered it at their book-ellers. The Life and Words of Chriz;t.-Dr. Cunningham Geikie's work bearing this title is bein issued in monthly parts by i\fesrs Ca-Rei! and Co., and part XI. is before us. Of the work Mr C. H. Spurgeon says: "Equ81 to the other lives of Christ com- bined." Harriet Beecher Stowe (-' Uncle Tom's Cabin") speaks thus of it It seems to me. among books, a pearl of great price and a man might well sell a thousand others to become pos- sessor of this."
