TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1394. POLITICAL DISSENT. The Bishop of Llandaff was very severe yesterday in his episcopal charge on the "political Dissenter." WTe confess that we entirely fail to see why a Dissenter should be less worthy of respect because he happens to take a keen interest in politics. We grant that Dissent was in its inception neither political nor doctrinal in its character, but disciplinary. This was especially the case with Dissent in Wates. The early Welsh Nonconformists of the Commonwealth era did, it is true. take a deep interes t in the sturing* events which markcdthat period of English history; bat their main quarrel with the Established Church was not political or doctrinal, but—.to is ad- mitted by the Rev. Stephen Hughes in li s c, Argument" to the "Canwylly Cyiiiry -)ii points of Church discipline. Those who have paid any attention to the history of the early Welsh Methodists must come to the sama eo. elusion. William Williams. Pantycclyn, in his elegy on the death of Howel Harries, speaks with affection of hen artielau Eglwys Loegr (the ancient articles of the Church of England), Daniel Rowlands lived and died a member of the Established Church, and Thomas Charles was only driven out, against his wish, on account of differences on the points of church discipline. But the fart that the main quarrel was on points of discipline does not imply that there were not also political differences. Indeed, one of the many evils which attend upon the existence of a State Church is that politics become inextricably mixed up with religion, and that all who dissent from the Establishment are driven to taRe sides with one party or another in the State. It does not matter where and when you find Dis- sent, you will invariably find that the orthodox will always drive it into the arms of some politiooA party. Take, for instance, the Wycliffe or Lollard movement in England. Never waa there a more truly spiritual leader than Wycliffe, and yet we find that he- was so persecuted by the orthodox party that he was driven, in <»lS-clefenoe, into the arms of John of Gwmto who had no reel sympathy with his religious vienre, but who made use of him to, serve hi»-own piirposesj andof the revolution- ary ^followers of Ball and Tyler,-who equally mft^ rifiiw»f Jri^proto«t>>ifrainst.the corruption of the-interests of the [Rebellion o £ 138&. Or tab..tbe iiistory oLLuther^Zwingli, and klalyin, the Protestant Reformation in England. It would be folly to-say that Luther would not have succeeded without the help of the Elector of Syptony. Mortal man canuot limit the power of a fine enthusiasm in a good cause and absolute and fear- j 1 S3 confidence in God; but in spite 1 of his strong faith and utter fearlessness, even Luthar did not disdain to make use of the po Lieal opposition of certain of the German Princes to the Holy Roman Etnpcror. The orthodox clergy of the time might with truth have accused the Lutherans of being political dissenters." In France, the leader of the | Ku ,u jnots was Admiral Coligny. He was a great political leader as well as a religious re- former but who enn deny to the man who died for his religion on St. Bartholomew's bloody day the titla of a true martyr iv.ul religious reformer ? In iact, as '°ng as the Establishment ie supported by the State, those who seeedo from the Establishment must be tinned with politico colour. Howel Harries and Daniel Rowlands wore Liberals and though Jolrti Eiias, in later times, opposed Catholic Emancipation, he was accused in his early days of sympathising with the French Jacobins. Orthodox Churchmen in all ages and at all times have been fond of branding religious reformers as mere political zealots. The founder of Christianity himself was put to deatlt not because Eo avowed himself to be a Son of Goditit because He was accused of being an enemy to Crasar. Welsh Nonconformists n ed no therefore, be alarmed at theirritating and small-minded bickerings of the Bishop of Llandaff. They are only suffering the taunts which have always bwen levelled against the most earnest-and zoalou3 Christians of every age. The history of Wales during the last two centuries, and the vast sums of money that have been expended during that time on building chapels and maintaining religious worship in the Principality, are enduring monuments of th3 religious zeal and spiritual activity of Welsh Nonconformity. Wo can therefore bear with equanimity the cheap sneers of a Bishop, who h a Stats official in receipt of State funds, and who takes advantage of his position in the Home of Lords, not to advance the spiritual interests of the nation, but to aid and abet a political party in -.laving off all reform and blocking all progress. It is a sight for the gods, truly, to see a Bishop with a seat in the House of Lords reproving dissenters for being" political." It is a case, once more, of the devil reproving sin. J!? au.

NOTES ON NEWS. Whatever may be the out- CVMEC NRI>D.* ccir.e of the present agita, tion in wiiich Mr. Lloyd George and his three associates are the principAl actors, there is no doubt but that we are on the eve of an important new departure in Welsh politic?. In a few days will be issaed a. scheme whi'h promise., to embiaco com- prehensive and far reaching objects Ti.c^e are stated to be: — To confederate all existing Cymru Fydd societies and kindred associations into an organisation for the further- ance of Welsh national objects. To e tablish branches in every tcwn and village in Wales and in eveiy centre in England where a Welsh population exists. To take effectual fcteps for bringing the claims of Wales to the notice of English electors and M.P.'a, to organise the, Welsh votes in English centres, and to undertake in cases where it is considered necessary a platform campaign for the eiposicion and advocacy of Welsh questions in English con- stituencies, To assirt movements for the Dis- establishment and Disendowment of the Church in Wales, land reform in the special interests or Welsh tenant farmers and labourers, the popular control of the liquor traffic in Wales, the advancement of education in Wales, the improvement of the condition of Welsh miners and quarrymen, the preservation of the We!su language, and a scheme for the national self- government of Wales. The scheme is worthy of serious consideration, and b;ds fair to be pro- diosive of much real good to Wales socially, politically, and educationally. Sir John Jones Jenkins SWANSEA A"D THE was interviewed yesterday RAILWAYS. with reference to the visit of the London and North- western Railway Directors to Swansea last week (as recorded in this column), and in the course of his remarks the cautious and 'cute leader of Swansea's commercial life let fall a few words which, coming from him, may be regarded as pregnant with importance and mean- ing. He blamed the Great Western Railway for not having given the town a chance to assert her superiority over Milfcrd as an Atlantic port, and then went on '0 say :—" Of course, we should re- quire at Swansea a deep-sea per capable of berthing: ships at any state of the tide. No.v, the Grert Western have never shown any disposition to help us in getting a thing of this sort, whereas 'he London and North-Weste n people have. Matters have not raached the stage when Lean say whether there is any truth in the current rumour that the N crib-Western directors arc to help forward tho construction of a deep-sea pier, but I may teii you they are in entire sympathy with Swansea, and I think there is just a chance that, whilst they will aid us in the construction I < f a deep-sea pier, not one or them has lost si&ht of t.ie proposed through iiua to London, hiir John, rro:,a.bly, did not emphasise the phrase which we have italicised but, its we observed a few days ago, the keen-witted business nn n amongst us will, no doubt, c-irt'fully note the signs of the times; and, therefore, cannot fail to bo duly in-pressed with all the meaning that is contained in that one line which states that the London und North Western directors have shown sympathy with the desire for a deep water pier at the Mumbles. By and b%e we shall arrive at the point whore Sir John will tell us quietly in what way that sympathy is to take tangible shape. Anvhow, the public cannot now be blamed if they assume that tho visits of the London and North-Western Railway directors to the Rliondda litie and the Mumbles Head were not mere holidiy j a u n ts.

The strikers, who number some 2,000 men, a.re preventing those who have not joined the movement from working, and conflicts have taken place between the opposing factions, in which several men were injured. Twesty of the ringleaders have been arrested. THE NEATH STRIKE. About half-a-dozen carpenters from the Rhondda Valley came to Neath on Monday morn- ing.

THE POST BAG. +
THE POST BAG. + Tin was Srst "made in Germany." Swansea was the second port in South Walet that shipp d a cargo of tin-plates. Madame Patti returned to Craig-y-Nos ot Monday afteriioon. The following notice has teen put up in Loughor PARISH TO LET. KNQUIKE CT THE LOJRB CHANCELLOR. An old man was snoring sweetly ia the Neath Police Court on Monday. What a.re you doing, man ?" said a sturdy officer of the law, shaking him bv the shoulder. I am watching the case, was the rep!v. Among those received into the priesthood ail Abergwili on Sunday was an old Army man, -Niaior Revel Rayner Green, whoso name is now prefixed with a Reverend." He is curaie of NarberLh. Here's a specimen of the Welsh in vogue in t North Wales national organ :—Y mac Mise Dorothea Hughes, aiereh hynaf y Parch Huglt Price Hughes, wedi enill Exh-biton in English Literature yn Somcr-viUe Hall, Oxford." Q In the advertisements attached to the newly- published JJangor Diocesan Directory there is a curious instance of close relationship between Bible and Beer. There we found Hymns Ancient and Modern face to face with t: Crow- bi oiiu broughs' Etandsrd Blonds of Scoteh Whiskies," and were stunned. Will the Neath gentleman who plays the flute ait midnight upon the Cimla Common kindly leave tho district? By doing BO he would ease the feelings of the few persons who have taken up iheir abode in the locality to secure a little of thatpeaeft which is so acceptable to business men. Miss M. A. Jones, the young lady accompanist at the Congregational Festival, held yesterday at Swansea, is a clevor composer of music. Among the tunes sung at the festival was one of her handi- work. It is wedded to tho hymn commencing, lean Uit.vntcr iruwr y n?f:>ecld, and nailed after Miss Jones's place of residence, Trebo.;tb." In spite of the present movement in favour of Welsh. Welshmen are unconsciously letting hold of Welsh place-names-,and adopting English. Even the Genedl, whose editor was for y-sars the secrw. tary of the Welsh Utilization Society, prints Ox- ord, Knighton &c. It would be wise to turn up the old Welsh forms Rhydychen, TreE y Clawdd, &c., now and again. Owing to the spring fair being held at Llandilo on Wet Monday, employes at the shops and offices were deprived of their Bank-holiday, which I only meant half-a-day. Owing, however, to the weather, it hardly paid their employers to open at all. A fact which gave very general satisfaction to to the employes, who regarded the downpour as an answer to their prayer. Church livings ofteu are not the mines of gold some suppose them to be. The vacant rectory of Loughor is an instance in point. The total in- come from all sources is quoted as £216. When o how ever, all legal rates, taxes, payments, reduc" tion in the value of tith(s, and sundry other leakages are deducted, the sum of £ 246 would bt lessened by at least £ 100. M r. Augustus Oswald Schenk, the new engineer to the Swansea Harbour Trust, Î3 brother to the late engineer. The Manchester Ship Canrtl folks presented Mr. Schenk with a gratuity of £500 in recognition of his services to them. Swansea men should receive their new engineer with open arms. It is half suggested that he is a Welshman in diguise, and that Schenk is only an abbreviated form of the orthodox Slienkin. A writer on the tin-plate trade tells us:—"At Morriston there are Bome model American cot- tages built with tin terne sheets, er, we should say, with timber, and covered over with tin sheets* But it is rather strange that when the sheets wear out the gap is filled with bricks and mortar, although there are several tin-plate works close by where plates could be purchased at the lowest prices." Tkat eccentric young person, the Deceased Wife's Sister, has (says the Figaro) turned up in the House of Commons again. This time she is in charge of Mr. Recs Davies, a young Welsh lawyer, who fancies he will be able to see her safely through he; trouble in the Chamber. I fancy he is mistaken. The young person exaites a good deal of pity, but very little personal affection. However, she does not want much in the matter of votes. The uninitiated in card playing will be puzzled to understand the frtquent references in the Cork case to "the joker." It is a modern addition to poker, but it has revolutionised the game. It is the blank. card which is found on the outside of the pack. The pla er who secures it can make it any value he pleases — call it anything he likes —so that "threes" and fours" are now quite common. It is a new t rror to the unskilled player, but tho risk it adds to the game is highly ..UTTNYA aI PRTUIUBUU UJ UJU PAJCIP, Dr. Joseph Parry doubtless had fond memories 0! his dead son, Haydn, on his visit to Swansea on Sunday and Monday. Swansea, it is remembered, was the home of the Parry family for the space of seven years. On Sunday morning the Doctor composel a touching tune to the well- known hymn:— Mae brodyr itni aeth yn miaen Yn holliaeh a chytun, in memory o- young Haydn. The new tune, which the author has named Haydn," was soon picked up by the united choirs, and sung on Monday evening at the festival at Ebenezar by a thousand voices. Dr. Salmon, of Penllyn Court, Cowbridge, South Wale?, says the Sun, is the oldest doctor and Freemason in the kingdom. He attained last month the ripe age of one hundred and four years. He joined the "mystic Masons" over eighty years ago, and he is the doyen of that body as well as tho Royal College of Surgeons. Although he has livod in Walea for the greater part of kis long life, Dr Salmon is a native of Wickham Market, Suffolk. lIe has been a. justice of the peace far the Cowbridge Petty Sessional Division for forty- six years, and he is also a deputy-lieutenant for Glamorgan. Withiw two mileJ of Dr. Salmon's residence there ia a. lady who was born the day after Dr. Salmea, and who is, consequen ly, also in the hundred and fourth year of her age. The Sun, however, Is mistaken, for Nancy Llewelyn, the old lady alluded to, died last year.

INSPECTION CORDIALLY INVITED. TEMPLE STREET, SWANSEA. Champion Firelighter of the Universe. At a certain period of History there was an epidemic in France, it ravaged all the towns but the city of Lyons. This puzzled all the doctors and scientific men, and excited the deepest interest.
