MR. BRUCE TRAMMELED BY OFFICE.
MR. BRUCE TRAMMELED BY OFFICE. THE speech of Mr. Bruce at the Princs of Wales' Breakfast, on Tuesday, the 10th instant, reminds us of a question which intimately concerns our respected member and the constituency of Merthyr Tydfil. We nllt! .'e to the reference made by him to his having ■ -J accepted office in connection with the Ministry of Lord Palmerston. Mr. Bruce said that he had not in any way solicited the post ottered to him in the Home Office. We are quite sure, from what we know of him, that he is not just the sort of person to ask for personal favours. He is too honourable and indepen- dent to put his neck into any one's yoke by seeking gifts for himself; and at the same time he is too politic to neglect any fair chance of promotion. We are quite satisfied that Mr. Bruce did not go cap in hand to Sir George Grey and ask to be taken on" in his department. It is very evident to any discerning person, having the slightest knowledge of Mr. Bruce, that he is exactly the sort of man for the post which he has recently been appointed to. His experience as a stipendiary magistrate and vice-chairman of quarter sessions; his connection with the Dowlais Works, the Vale of Neath Railway^ the Ottoman Bank, toge- ther with his political views,parked him out as a gentleman eminently fitted for the .under secretary- ship in the Home Office. Lord Palmerston's Ministry has this recommendation, whatever else it may lack- that most of its members are, as far as abilities go, the right men in the right places. But we question if any one connected with the Government is much better qualified for his duties than is Mr. Bruce for those which have been assigned to him. It was highly complimentary then to our M.P. to be chosen -not by the Premier as a political supporter, but by the responsible head of a department as his Parlia. mentary assistant. And if we mistake not, very many of the inhabitants of Merthyr and Aberdare regarded the appointment, when made, as an honour to the borough. It certainly is something to be proud of, that we are represented by a gentleman of such refined and well-informed mind, possessed of such large and varied experience, and so thoroughly busi. ness like as is Mr. Bruce. No one can* appreciate • these important qualifications of our member more r Jtighly than ourselves, nor can any inhabitant of the borough rejoice more heartily than we do at the just recognition of talent seen in the selection of Mr. Bruce for the under secretaryship in the Home Office. But there is another aspect of Mr. Bruce's connexion with the ministry, which has from the first been be. f:JF6re our mind, and this we wish to present as fairly as possible for the electors and non-electors of Mer. thyr to reflect upon. The question is—How will Mr. fclteMce's holding office affect his .relationship to us all bra^^M^ntative in Parliament ?"Will not his votes the House of Commons less fairly reptwapnt the and feelings of his'^iNtgtftuentsthan has been rto ? Up to the tinfBk^his becoming und or the Home Department, there was tole etween his votes in the House and the vie wg.of- tjija^Bhctora of Merthyr. Only on one great question wasTHiyere difference of opinion. between the represented and the representative. If Mr. Bruce held more advanced views on the all-im- portant question of the Ballot it might have been said previous to his entrance upon office that few members of the House of Commons were more thoroughly agreed with those who sent-them there than was the member for Merthyr, with the electors of this borough. We were"'afraid when the news of the ap- pointment of Mr. Bruce to the Home department L reached us thai this 'state of agreement in opinioaj^ would be very materially altered. From the moment when a Member of Parliament accepts office his free. *ia dom of action is gone as far as respects voting in the* J House of Commons. His political opinions may' remain unchanged and uninfluenced, but not MO hia■.$ freedom when the division bell is rung in the House. He must then follow the Ministerial Whip. He must vote, not according to the guiding of his own judge ment, but in accordance with the directions of his chief. The gentlemen on the Ministerial benches almost invariably vote en masse, they all go into the same lobby whatever diversity of view there may be among them. And so we must no longer expect Mr. 1 Bruce to vote freely and in general agreement with the opinions entertained in Merthyr; he must hence- forth do at the moment of division as Lord Palmer- ston or the Cabinet may dictate. Our position as ft constituency in the House of Commons has not been improved, but very materially injured then by hia having accepted office. Let us fehepr from two of the most recent division lists in fjie Hfeise what we mean. The other evening a bill wfsfbfcn^hf into the House of Commons to give liberty to tfios^^io conscienti- ously object to taking an TM^iin a Court of Justice to make affirmation. This is a^Sftalession of a per- fectly safe character, and one very xftooh needed by a vast number of people. We have known of several religious men who have been cast into pri- son because they could not consent to give evidence on oath. Now the law which compels men to take an oath or to suffer is a harsh and unnecessary one, as has been proved by giving the Quakers liberty, to make affirmation. It would be supposed that Mr. Bruce would readily vote for the abolition of such a law. But no, he goes against the Affirmation But; which we are persuaded he would not have done but for his being Under Secretary. Those in Merthyr who read the Parliametary reports must have felt.deep interest in the debate the other evening in the House of Commons, on the construction of the navy—whether it should be of iron or not. It was a questlo^ af vast importance as far as the staple production of jiis district is con- cerned, and, what is more, as far as concerns our taxa- tion. On the part of iron, Mr. Lindsay, the great shipowner, Mr. Laird, the shipbuilder, and Sir M. Peto spoke. The preponderance of competent and free opinion was immensely in favour of using iron only. How did Mr. Bruce vote ? We are very sorry to say he went into the lobby against iron. He actually gave his vote for a system of building ships condemned emphatically by every member unfettered and capable of judging of the matter. These two instances (we might cite several more) will serve to, show that our fears were well founded. Merthyr is no longer represented by a member who can vote freely and in harmony with its inhabitants' views. We are now in the unenviable position of being a sort of appanage to the extravagant and illiberal Premier. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. BRECON AND MERTHYR RAILWAY.—On Thursday this line was opened for passenger traffic between the Pant and Talybont Stations, and two trains daily will leave each of those stations until further notice. An omnibus meets each train at both places, but the open- ing of the line right into Brecon, which is expected to take place shortly, will, of course, do away with the Talybont 'bus then. We believe large numbers of the good folks of Merthyr will avail themselves of this line to visit the Beacons and the surrounding beautiful ace* nery during the summer. We wish it all success. MIVB ACCIDENT.—On Thursday evening week a you 11^ man nauifd Morgan, living in Chapel-street, was severely ciusheil bv a fall of ironstone in one of the Plymouth mines. He was dicing un l; r a mas in order that it might fall, and after being e.tutL u. d of his dan- ger he persisted in his efforts, when about t liree tons cime down upon him, cutting his head severely and crushing one leg almost flat. Amputation bt-low the knee was performed the same evening j but, frusn the serious nature of the injuries he sustained, little hope* are entertained of his recovery.
