MR. HERBERT GLADSTONE AT LLANELLY.
THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1894. MR. HERBERT GLADSTONE AT LLANELLY. Mr. Herbert Gladstone talked excellent prose last night at Llanelly. But prose it was, without a trace of that wonderful charm, that imagination-stirring force, that flight of fancy, that human and humanising touch of nature, which made the oratory of his great father so unique and ao unapproachable. We rejoice to think that a great man is not likely to be dis- graced in his son. Mr. Herbert Gladstone is a. credit to his father's teaching and example, He is as fresh and absolutely modest and un-, spoiled, as if he had not been nursed in the knowledge of affairs or had not been for 15 years the confidant of England's most powerful statesman. There was also a ring of sincerity and of conviction in all his utterances, which ere most grateful, because most unexpected, in the typical" official" Liberal. The speech, also, was remarkably adroit and tactful, and the manner in which he touched upon, nay, thrashed out the question of the Welsh revolt," vas worthy, in its delicacy and cautious daring, oi the Grand Old Man himself. Of course he fell far short of his father but it is seldom thit a genius begets a genius, and a kindly world will readily forgive to a pleasant- mannered and high-minded gentleman the absence of those intellectual and oratorical gifts which made the father the marvel of the age. Wales especially will be glad to find that the revered name of Gladstone is in no danger of being sullied or tarnished by the youngest son of the late Premier. We feel indisposed to criticise in any way the declarations of Mr. Gladstone. He was so evidently endeavouring to do hiB utmost to understand and satisfy Welsh aspirations that it seems ungenerous to criticise his efforts. But, truth to tell, Mr. Gladstone has not sufficient imagination to understand fully the needs of Wales. He took it for granted that Disestablishment was the Alpha and Omega of Welsh demands, and as the Liberal Govern- ment had adopted it as one item in its pro- gramme, the interests of Wales and of official Liberalism were therefore identical. He argued very plausibly, not so much against the recent revolt as against the possibility of indepen- dent action in the future. Every argument that he advanced against the formation of an Independent Welsh Party in 1894 could have been advanced with even more force and authority against the Parnell movement at the latter end of the seventies. Nay, the very fact that a member of the Government should have thought it wise to argue the question at all shows the great advance that has taken place in Welsh politics during the last ten years. In 1885 Wales was a cipher in Liberalism; to-day she is worth conciliating. And why ? Simply because her members ara becoming restive and self-assertive. If NVales is to realise her aspirations it can only b& through the formation of a National party, not necessarily hostile to, but certainly independent of the official Liberalism of England. For the rest, we are perfectly satisfied with Mr. Gladstone's declaration on Disestab- lishment. He has indeed gone further than any of his colleagues, and has promised for the Disestablishment Bill the first place in the next Session's programme, if it can not be carried through the Commons in this Session.

THE POST BAG. Epitaphs of the peculiar order are cropping up in all directions since a few appeared in this column a day or two ago. "Here lies the un- werthy son of a worthy father would be a touch- ing one if it were not the work of the father. Hero is another. Piran, a famous French poet and satirist, failed to get admission to the Academy, a most envied distinction. He wrote his ow*. epitaph, which may be rendered, in English >. u Here lies Piron who was—nothing not even as Academician." The following epitaph appears ia the Welsh language at Penderyn churchyard, near Aber- dare Stranger, pause, as you pass by, For as you are so once was I, And as I am so thou shalt be Prepare thyself to follow me. A wicked wag added the following lines :— To follow you I am not content Unless I know which way you went. Iuva Liverpool cemetery appears the following reminiscence of a deceased brewer:— Poor John Scott lies buried here; Tho' once he was both hale and stout, Neath stretched him on his bitter trier, Iayinother land he hops about, In an American churchyard, according to f correspondent, appears the following significant epitaph Sacred to the memory of EBEN. HARVEY, Who died on the 26th September, 1876, thro' a male kicking him. "Well done,, thou good and faithful servant." This, upon a lawyer, ia very good i-riv Jacet Jabocus Straw Who, for 40 years, followed the law; When he died, the devil cried, Jacob give us your paw. All the printers of South Wales were chuckling this morning because the "lino" at the Mait ofiice executed some foolish manoeuvres last night. This is how it answered the first word of command, "Fall in".— An ordinary monthly meeting of the -[00 ^msmuooiuopt puis saps AY u')u<S And when the reviewing officer smiled, and the colonel got mad, the rear rank turned its back on them again, thus :— rapid development of the college, and of « 0083 jo juvio aqi tAOUaa 01 Ulaq Supps "If this goes any further," as the spigot said to I the bunghole, the linoes will lose their efficiency grant. Sir William Harcourt has done histoid profess- ion a good turn. The death duties have proved an angel flf life to the Chancery Bar. The cham- bers of many equity barristers are filled with in- structions to draw er settle deeds of gift to evade ■Sir William's democratic Budget; and when the revenue derived. from this source comes to be com- puted, it will probably be found that the convey- ancing counsel has foiled the Chancellor of the Exchequer's little bill to a very considerable ex- tent. Thore are also proposals for insurance Against the payment or the death duties. A clever French caricaturist has been much im- pressed by the faet that, while the methods of slaying men in the mass have lately undergone the ^ost remarkable developments, the practice of the duello has not yet got beyond the elementary stage of rapiers, or vevolvors at twenty paces, whereby it is most often a bysUmdor that is injured. The aUist gives several pictorial suggestious designed to bring the national sport of France more inU- line with the resources oil advancing civilisation, I Tr:e combatants, he thinks, might charge eac*" ) other with laoco.s in rest on a couple of pneumatic ''safeties."
