THE IRISH PERSECUTION.
THE IRISH PERSECUTION. ¡ JIR. VVTILLIAM O'BRIEN has been sentenced at Tralee to another term of six months' imprison- ment. The illustrious prisoner was told that if he would promise not to take any further part in the Plan of Campaign the punishment would not be imposed. Mr O'BRIEN said that that offer was the cruellest thing that had happened to him yet, as it was well known there was not theNleast likelihood of its being accepted. Mr O'BRIEN can remain in prisoh, or he can die, but he cannot go back on all his wonderful life and say that it was a lie. He has roused Eng- j' land to indignation and has moved the civilised world to admiration, and it was a base, cowardly insult to offer him, of all men, freedom from imprisonment if he would pledge himself not to do the thing he is impelled to do. There is nothing to be said. Mr O'BRIEN is doomed to nearly nine months' imprisonment. This is what the Tories call firm govern- ment. There is only one satisfactory feature in the whole dismal business, namely, that the country is alive-fully alive- and that as soon as the opportunity is afforded the scandalous tyranny will be ended and the tyrants themselves will reap their reward. The last sentence upon Mr O'BRIEN will raise the indignation in the country to frenzy. Happily the system of coercion is in its last agonies, and if Mr O'BRIEN can wait we may indeed be patient. Still something should be done to show him that he is not for- gotten, and that his action is rightly understood and appreciated.
IA REVIVING INDUSTRY.
A REVIVING INDUSTRY. WHEN there was a tax on malt, and when the practise of every public house brewing its own beer died away the malting trade gradually declined. The great brewers would only buy the very best malt, and as duty had to be paid on all malt, local maltsters were unable to carry ( on their ancient and remunerative trade. The large brewers had then noalternative but to make( their own malt and a large amount of capital; was sunk in erecting malt houses. Afterwards; the tax was taken off malt. For a time no change whatever was visible, but we contended at the time that gradually the malting business would be restored to the rural districts, because the removal of the malt tax would enable maltsters to sell their heaviest and best malt for brewing purposes and the inferior sorts would find a ready market as feeding stuff. The Mark Lane Express, of Monday last, says The scarcity of good malting barley is one of the features of the grain trade this season. Even second-rate malting barley is appreciating in real value, though the exchanges quote no actual advance in their price lists The reason of this appears to be that when any article is both scarce and looked after, private bargaining steps in and the markets are not troubled. The i "present dearth is likely to be in some slight: degree relieved when the 100,000 qrs of malting; r, barley on passage from California comes to hand, but the quantity will very quickly be absorbed, and probably a quarter of a million would have found a ready market. How it is that Germany has nothing to send us of any high quality we don't know, for the season in that country was not of the damp and sunless character which made the summer of 188 a failure in the United Kingdom." The real reason of the scarcity is that barley is not now grown, as it used to be, in rural districts at a distance from the large breweries, but as soon .i!! as it is clear there is a steady demand for good malting barley, and that inferior sorts can be sold for feeding purposes the fires of the malt houses in places like Aberystwyth will be re- lighted and an old industry will be revived. The probabilities are that when only the best malt need be used for brewing purposes that even local brewing will t, 9 once again become common. Whether or not, it is certain that all the facts point to a scarcity of good malting barley, and there can be little doubt that anybody with the necessary capital and knowledge could start the malting business with a reasonable prospect of regular trade at remunerative prices. The reasons for the revival of this business are obvious and lie quite on the surface. We may be asked why the great brewers, having started to malt their own barley, should abandon malting, The reasons are not far to seek. By malting their own barley they are forced to use all the malt because they cannot find markets for the inferior sorts. They would prefer to buy only the best portions. Again, breweries increase in size, and as the | demands on space become more and more imperative there is greater effort made to get rid of the malting business which entails not only large space but many other special arrangements. The malt tax killed the businessof the maltster anr1 the abolition of the tax hasre- stored the chief of those conditions under which the business first flourished. That we should be looking to Germany and California for malting barley is on some grounds to be regretted, but on other grounds it is subject for rejoicing. There is, we are sure, a splendid opening for men of capital and skill in this trade, and although it may be some time before the old malt houses in places like Aberystwyth all over the country are again in full work, that time is most assuredly coming as those interested in the business may discover for themselves by putting themselves to a little trouble. There was a time when a considerable number of men were employed in the malting trade in Aber- ystwyth and there is no reason whatever why that number should not in a few years be larger than ever it was. At the time the malt tax was abolished we set forth the reasons why we thought one effect of the abolition of the tax would be the return of the malting industry to rural districts where the barley is grown. The conditions favourable to the re-establishment of malt-houses have gradually followed the abolition of the duty and now nothing remains to be done but to find men of capital and enterprise to embark in the reviving industry. Those who are first in the field will be able to obtain the most favourable start. There is no better barley grown anywhere than is grown in Cardiganshire. The subject is well-deserving of consideration and investigation in a town that is slowly losing population owing to decaying industries and altered conditions of commerce.
THE NEW BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH.
THE NEW BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH. The Church of England is greatly in need of fighting bishops, and that, we suppose, is the reason the Rev. A. G. EDWARDS, vicar of Car- marthen, has ber-M) made Bishop of ST. ASAPH. The interest of Nonconformists in this appoint- ment is langdid and cannot well be otherwise. ZD The A. G. EDWARDS has spent a good deal of his time in flogging dead ecclesiastical horses, and as we knew they were dead, we left his performances to be admired by those who thought there was some liie in them. The fate of the Established Church in Wales is settled, and neither the skilful manipulation of ecclesiastical statistics, nor fanciful schemes for bringing all Nonconformists into the Church zn In of England can unsettle it. The collection of tithes in Wales by the police and soldiery is doing all that the most ardent disestablishers ever desired, and it is of little consequence who is made Bishop of ST. ASAPH in the meantime. A little bitterness more or less may be intro- duced into the final stages of the wordy conflict, but as long as there is a phase of the battle in which the Church goes armed to the teeth to extort tithes from the people nobody is disposed to get excited over letters and speeches. The Church of England in Wales is made to appear savage in its greed, and greedy in its savagery. The long, wordy war between the Church and the Liberation Society is over. The Liberation Society has now no more to do with the Welsh disestablishment movement than the Church of England has to do with the Liberation Society. The tithe agitation has put the whole subject on a footing different from that which it formerly occupied. The new Bishop of ST. ASAPll seems to think that Nonconformists may be brought over in a body to the Church of England. What are the prospects of bringing the Church of England and the Roman Catholics over to N onconformity Well, one process is quite as likely as the other. Of course statements ,made by the vicar of Carmarthen might be ignored which if made by the Bishop of St. ] ASAPH would create an uproar. The fact is, as far as Ni-e are concerned, we never attached any importance to the Rev. A. G. EDWARDS'S iitatements and arguments, and he was the last ] man we should have expected to be made .a Bishop. We admit our want of foresight, but plead our absence of interest as some explanation of the surprize with which this appointment has come upon us. High place tries men and we are quite willing to await developments. Bishop EDWARDS will probably be the Bishop of a free Church before he has been long in office, and once the Church of England is disestablished its officers will attract no more attention than the officers of any other denomination.
. LORD ABERDARE AGAIN.
LORD ABERDARE AGAIN. LORD ABERDARR, the President of the University College of Wales, is never more at home in a speech than when he is belittling the University College of Wales, which would have been closed if the Departmenal Committee, of which he was chairman, had had their way. He has never in our opinion been a friend of the University College of Wales, and we do not think the speech he made at Cardiff was a friendly speech, or was conceived in a friendly spirit. We have never made any secret of our unbelief in Lord ABERDARE, and if he had not been a lord his resignation as President would have been insisted upon years ago. We told Lord ABERDARE years ago that Aberystwyth is the most convenient place for North and South Wales. His lordship sneered, but the fact remains, and the success of the College in attracting English students shows that Aber- ystwyth is more attractive to English students, and reasonably so, than Cardiff. The Aber- ystwyth College, that Lord ABERDARE would not have been sorry to see closed, has kept well ahead of the other two petted institutions, not- withstanding the way in which it is handicapped. We believe the students at Aberystwvth could easily be doubled in number, but they could not easily be more successful from an academic point of view. The College at Aber- ystwyth is the University College of (Wales, and around it gathers popular sentiment which no neglect and |no ridicule and no London mismanagement can weaken ot
