Tni: distribution of prizes and certificates to the pupils of the Wrexham Science and Art Classes took pluce on Friday. Mr J. Coster Edwards, the High Sheriff, gave the rewards, and delivered an interesting speech, In a subsequent speech he alluded to the desirability of teaching boys trades, rather than making them clerks. There is no doubt that a healthful change has come over public opininil in respect of this, but it is not as widely embraced as it should be. The dignity of labor is much talked about, but there seems room for a more practical application of the truth. It is very satisfactory to note that the art classes are doing good work under Mr Fuge, the heart master, and the committee (of which Aid, Simon Jones is the chairman, and Mr Ashton Bradley the secretary) do their work well.

A great amount of local interest was evinced in the progress of the arbitration case, relating to the railway from Wrexham to Ellcsmere, and rumors were rife as to what might he ex- pected if certain events took place. On Tuesday Mr F. W. Soames, who presided at a dinner at Wrexham, alluded to the value of railway develop- ment. He was pleased to notice the construction of the Ellesmere line was proceeding so satisfac- torily, and hoped that; it would shortly he com- pleted to the advantage of the district and the shareholders. He denied that in the action he had taken, lie had been actuated by hostile motives. He did not think that because he had supported the railway, he ought to forego his legitimate rights.

JxjnoiN.i by the reports in another column, the Tontine Societies, which sprang up of late with such remarkable rapidity, have abundance of vitality. They are undoubtedly attractive, and prove formidable rivals to the older pocietics, inas- much as while providing medical attendance, a modest sick and funeral bencrit, the funds are divided at the end of the year, and of course no objection has hitherto been raised. The other societies accumulate their funds, until in some cases that we are acquainted with they attain substantial proportions. In some respects this is a highly reassuring fact, as it removes all suspicion as to the financial soundness of the organisation. On the other hand, a portion of the surplus capital might be utilised in a, variety of ways for the good of the members. There seems I to us plenty of room for a Society, whose policv should adopt the happy medium between the Tontine and the Friendly Society. l

Darkest 1-higland. QnTE the most interesting event of the week has been the report of Sir Henry James's comiiiittc-e upon tilt administration of General Booth's Darkest England" scheme. It will be remembered what a stir the General's book created, and how the money flowed in to enable him to commence a scheme which has in it great possibilities. As the coins rolled into the treasury, there were many who doubted whether they would be of the good they were intended to Le, whilst some people sneered that General Booth was making ample provision for a rainy day, and securing for himself a fortune, which was colossal in dimensions. Open attacks were made upon the wonderful man who controls the Salvation Army, and the result was, that a committee was appointed to examine the accounts, and see if the general was honesty and whether the scheme was being properly ad- ministered. Sir Henry James, M.P., presided, while Lord Onslow, Mr Walter H. Long, and Mi- Edwin Waterh-Oir-e. C.A., were the other mem- bers. Mr C. E. Hobliouse, M.P., was honorary- secretary, and Mr Sidney Buxton, M.P., who was a member of the committee, withdrew in con- sequence of the death of his wife. The gentlemen charged with the inquiry are above suspicion, and it is satisfactory to fiudthat the report showed that honesty and integrity are stamped upon all that has been done in connection with the scheme. The committee find that the money has been properly applied, and nrlovbt the result will be that the public will now subscribe even more readily than before towards an experiment which deserves to be tried. The report contains the following paragraph, which ought to silence carpers;- There is no reason to think that Mr Booth or any member of the family derive, or ever have derived, benefit of any kind from any of the pro- perties or money raised for the Darkest England* scheme. Some members of Mr Booth's family draw salaries from the spiritual wing of the Salvation Army, and a list was put in from which I it appears that Mr Booth himself has received nothing from either side of the Salvation Army. He has a small income, partly settled on him by a personal friend and partly derived from the sale of his literary works, the amount and nature of which lie explained to the committee, and which seemed to them commensurate with the maintenance of his personal establishment. This information will be of general interest, while it is pleasing to find that the committee's report has more than demolished the sneers and unkind suggestions I which have been ouly too prevalent.

The Gothen- burg System. I Ma Reginald Mortimer, M.A., Barrister-at-Law, and secretary to the County Brewers Society, has ii _.i i.i ii. just issued ii smaii panipniei upon uie uromcn burg licensing system, in which he states, without comment, what he saw and what he learned of the system during a recent visit to that town. It appears that up to 1865, the town authorities owned all the licences, and sold them by public auction, some for a year and some for three years. At the end of the time they were again sold. There were also some privileged houses, where licences were granted for the life of the holder. The liquor almost exclusively sold was Briinvin (the naiive brandy), which was the favorite and ordinary drink of the working classes, and cost rather lc-ss than one-halfpenny per liqueur glass. The result of this system was that one out of every seven of the population was con- victed of drunkenness, but it should be borne in I mind that the police had only power to arrest when the person was violent or disorderly. On Oct-hor 1st, 1865, a Licensing Company, with an a.horisod capital of £ 11,000, and a called-up capital of £ 5,700, was formed to control the sale of Briinvin to the working classes to bring the Briinvin shops under strict control to improve the quality of the spirit to raise its price to open eating houses where good and cheap focd could be had, and where the supply of Briinvin was limited to two glasses a head and to estab- lish a system which, as far as Briinvin was con- cerned, would give no opportunities of private gain, and by the unattractiveness of the premises offer no inducement to customers to loiter. The sale of shares in the Company is strictly controlled by the directors, and in 1868 E30,000 was devoted to the reduction of the rates. The Company have thirty-nine licensed premises, but twenty-two licences are held in abeyance. The total possible number of houses is sixty-one, with seven off retail licences. No one visibly in- toxicated or apparently under eighteen years of age can be served, aud the Company have two in- spectors who look after the houses. The price of the spirit lias been raised from qd to Id per liqueur glass, and the percentage of alcohol re- duced from 47 to 44 The Briinvin shops open at nine a.m. and close at six o'clock from October to March, and at seven o'clock from April to September. On Sundays Briinvin is only served with a meal. There are twenty-three wine and spirit merchants who evidently do a. large business, for the lowest price paid for a licence was £ 100, and the highest about t350. These merchants only sell wine in liters," four and a half of which go to make a gallon. Beer is looked upon as totally different from spirits, and the places where it is sold are styled temperance houses." Gothenburg lias eleven large breweries, and there are 128 licences for the sale of beer, and fifty-nine for its sale with meals at cafes. Mr Mortimer gives some figures, which we quote, as showing the statistical result of the system. The population of Gothenburg in 1891 was 104,251. There were 4,624 convictions for drunkenness, or 44-3 per thousand of the population. The num- ber of paupers in 1891 was 11,900, or 114-1 per thousanrt of tho population. In 1891 in England and Wales the convictions for drunkenness were at the rate of 5-7 per thousand, and the number of paupers zo-fa per thousand. As much is heard just now of the Gothenburg system, these figures and facts will be interesting and useful to those who are conceriied-nd all good men and women should be-in the effective control of the I liquor traffic.
