I THE PREMIER'S THREATS. HAVING paid the customary tribute to the genius be displayed and the success he achieved in the three Budgets for which he was responsible, the PRDIE MINISTER in his recent speech was fain to admit that the tusk which bus fallen to his successor is the most severe that has ever fallen to any Chancellor of the Exchequer. What a con- fession after three succcessful Budgets It means that we now have to pelY for the PRIME MINISTER'S flash finance. We have to meet the increased expenditure on a negleeted Navv the eight or ten millions for Old Age Pensions and the millions required to meet the deficit due to the heavy decline in revenue. The PRIME MINISTER is responsible for this state of things by an improvident remission of taxa- tion by taking no thought in his years of plenty for the inevitable lean vears to follow and by pledging the country to expenditure rising to about ten millions a year for pensions, of which only one and a quarter was provided. Whoa we are told that the raising of this huge burden will involve in its acutest form a controversy between Free Trade and Fiscal Reform," we know in what direction the predatory hands of the Government will be stretched. It is going to impose crushing taxation on braiDe, capital, and property, that it may go before the electors with a huge in one v bribe. We stand firm in the belief that the British electorate will not suffer itself to be corrupted and degraded in this way. The PRIME MINISTER made his pro- nouncement against the House of Lords, and the situation is unchanged. It is bitterly disappointing to Radicals as it is farcical to Constitutionalists. Two hundred Radical M.P.'s had devoted themselves to entertain the PRIME MINISTER at dinner, and Mr. JOHN ELLIS had introduced him to the expectant dinner party as The Man." All that came of it was a shrewish scolding of the Lords, rather better reasoned and rather less vulgar than Mr. BIRRELL'S recent denunciations. It culminated in the announcement that the House of Lords henceforth is to be the dominating issue in politics." Having said that he immediately left it to dominate in its own way, and pro- ceeded to put other subjects above this dominating issue. Obviously Mr. Ascjtrrrn was distressed for material. He dare not appeal to the country with Chelmsford staving him in the face, and behind Chelmsford, Newcastle and a score of other bv-eleotioBS, where the voice of the country has been expressed conclusively against, the present Government, its Bills, its administration, and its politics.

NOTES. The action of a section of the Aberyst- wvth Board of Guardians in deciding to complain to the Local Government Board that Dr. Bonsali had not, in their opinion, supplied all the particulars required by them in connection with the bills sent in by Dr. Bassett Jones, will probably bring a mare's nest about their ears for they must not suppose that the Local Government Board will take such a matter up without knowing the why and the wherefore. If they adopt this attitude the Guardians will probably be sorry for the step they have taken, for an impartial consideration of the pros and cons of this unhappy muddle will disclose to the officials in London the very loose method—to say the least—which the Board have adopted in dealing with medical cases requiring surgical operation. How- ever, there is the position, and we wonder where the matter will end. In his speech at the College the other day, Mr Ellis W. Davies, M.P., said the poverty of the North AVales farmers and their failure to make headway was mainly due to tho fact that the banks would not advance them money. If that is the case in North Wales, it is evident from what transpired at the Aberystwyth Bankruptcy Court on Friday, that things are very different in Cardiganshire. Here, it appears, if we are to take the case reported as typical of the •prevailing conditions, any amount of credit can be obtained. The case referred to throws a sidelight on the curious method which prevails amongst farmers of conducting business. It was stated by the bankrupt that he backed a bill for a man in order to obtain a debt due to himself., which seems about as topsv-turvey a style of doing things as one can conceive, and cannot possibly make for profitable business. We are glad to learn from the Head- master's report that good work continues to be done by the Tregaron Countv School, and the prospects for the future are excellent and encouraging in their character. Principal Bebb, who delivered the address to the pupils, laid particular stress on the need of plenty of open air exercises, and urged more attention being paid to this part of the school curriculum. Tregaron is happily situated for the pursuit by the school pupils of this very important section of modern education. It has long been recognised that a healthy mind can only exist within a healthy body, and having this happy combination there is hardly a limit to the amount, of work which pupils can be got to perform. Speaking at a meeting held in Philadelphia on November 21st, Mr. J. Devlin, M.P., said Through the policy of the Irish Parliamentary party, we are to-day the arbiters of England's destinies. We can say to the Liberals Come in,' or go out.' Yet another Nonconformist minister has given notice of his intention to seek Holy Orders in the Church of England. The Rev. F. R. Rawle, Presbyterian minister of Ramsbottom, will shortly resign his charge with that end in view, and he has been moved to do so by what he calls the unsettled state of Nonconformist theology," the lack of authority in matters of faith and discipline," and a want of reverence among Nonconformists for sacred things-" We believe it is impossible, under Free Trade principles, for the Government to provide for the large estimated deficit of 18 or 20 millions sterling and for the growing expenditure of the country without placing an intolerable burden of direct taxation upon the people. Granted it is necessary to raise a. large additional amount annually, the question is how to raise it in the manner least burdensome to the people. Direct taxation, which is advocated by Free Traders, is not only the most oppressive and vexatious form of taxation, but it cannot benefit a single industry or tend in the smallest degree to solve the pressing problem of unemployment. Indirect taxation, on the other hand, as advocated by Tariff Reformers, working by means of a tariff which imposes small duties upon a large number of imported articles, would so pro- pertion the burden that it would scarcely be felt by any individual, would compel the foreign importer to pay a large part of the duty, would safeguard our home industries and our home market, and would provide employment for thousands of victims of free imports who are at present vainly seek- ing it. The Welsh Disestablishment campaign, for all its brave flourish of inaugural trumpets, is hanging fire sadlv. We were assured some time ago that definite promises of a Bill for next session had been given not only by Mr. Lloyd George (who is ever bounteous in promises) but by Mr. Asquith, and that all that was necessary was the awakening of a national agitation to give it a propulsive power through Parliament. Now a cold douche has been administered to the whole affair, and the enthusiasm of the campaigners has been damped down before it had rightly begun to splutter. Last week a meeting of the Welsh Radical mem- bers was held on the subject at the House of Commons, Mr. Lloyd George attending, and the result of the conference was officially communicated to the Press in these cryptic words There was a frank interchange of opinion as to the present political situation in view of the end of the session, and the prospects of the Welsh Disestablishment Bill." Only that and nothing more. But the English of it is that there was a hearty row at the conference, the cause whereof was a Government announcement that owing to the exigencies of Ministerial strategy it was proposed that a Bill should not be produced at th s time, or, if pro- duced, should not with, Since the conference, S'r Alfred Thomas has had a private talk with the Prime Minister, and he made it known on Thursday that he was satisfied with the assurances given him." Not so Mr. D. A. Thomas, the Merthyr member, who is so dissatisfied with the Government's attitude and$|intentions towards Disestablishment that he has intimated to the chief Radical Whip that he desires no longer to be regarded as a member of the Radical party. He has also intimated his intention of forming a revolt party among Welsh Radicals on the Disestablishment question. We wish success to Mr. Thomas' revolt," and plenty of it. There is a homely saying that when thieves fall out, honest men get their due." The question of resuscitating the old summer flower show was mentioned by several speakers at the annual dinner of the Aberystwyth Chrysanthemum Society, and there appeared to be a general feeling in favour of making a fresh start. The old show suffered very much on account of wet days, and a series of these swallowed up the profits of the favourable years, so that the financial strain of keeping up the show became too heavy for even the most enthusiastic of supporters. We hope, how- ever, that now the Svlvan Palace has been provided in the Elysian Grove, and the danger of loss from a wet day is consider- ably minimised, that a reai effort will be at once made to put the show on its legs again. We "believe there is a strong feeling in favour of doing so, and the best way to test the truth of this is to call a meeting of subscribers and others interested

ABERYSTWYTH. WHIST DRIVE AND DANCE. —AS will be seen by our advertising columns a whist drive and dance, under the auspices of the Bowling Club, will be held at the Oriental Cafe on Wednesday, January 13th. CORPORATION GARDENS. —At Aborystwyth, and in late November too, there was a splendid show of marigolds, sunflowers, fuchias, and chrysanthemums to be seen in the Corporation gardens. This week's Gardener contains an illustrated article about the gardens, and the success achieved in a bleak spot. The effect is very picturesque, and some notably luxuriant blooms have been reproduced. THU LIFEBOAT.—Some excitement was ca,used in the town on Friday morning when the lifeboat rocket was fired. Crowds immediately made their way to the Promenade fearing there might be a vessel in distress, and the crew could also be seen wending their way to the lifeboat house also under the impression that there was something amiss. There was a heavy sea running with a stiff N.W. wind. It however, transpired that the call was a surprise one, and in order that it could be seen in how short a time the crew could assemble in case of a disaster. The boat was brought on to the Promenade, and taking into consideration that several of the crew were down at the harbour when the rocket was lired, it is pleasing to note that the boat was launched within twenty minutes. SOCIAL EVENING.Under the auspices of the Early Closing Association a most success- ful social was held at the Cafe on Wednesday I evening. The Mayor (Councillor J. T. Davies), 1 who is president of the association, presided over., an attendance of over eighty. The programme consisted of games, dances, songs and recitations. Songs were contributed by Messrs \V. L. Williams, L. J. Morgan, Miss Pollie Jones, and recitations by Miss Warrington. A feature of the evening was the chorus, given in character, by the Wallabies," and caused much merriment. The solo was taken by Mr L. J. Morgan. The accompanists were Miss Maria Doughton and Miss Rowe, and the violinist was Mr Charles White. The M.C.'s were for dancing, Messrs D. Williams and J. W. Jones; games, Messrs J. E. Jones and J. P. Owen. An enjoyable evening was brought to a close at twelve o'clock, after votes of thanks had at twelve o'clock, after votes of thanks had been accorded to the Chairman and artistes, proposed by Mr Alban Lewis, and seconded by Mr D.

Dramatic Committee a performance was given on Friday evening at the Examina- tion Hall, of Madelino Lucette Ryley's comedy, Mice and Men." It proved a strong attraction, and the comedy went well. Mr T. Campbell James, as Mark Embury (a scholar, scientist and philosopher), was very clever, and evoked frequent applause. Mr Arthur Hughes also did good work as Captain Goorge Lovell (his nephew). As Peggy," Miss Minnie Morgans gave a most pleasing performance and was a general favourite. Others that took part were Roger Goodlake (his friend aud neighbour), E. D. T.
