SATURDAY. DECEMBER 1. 1894,
SATURDAY. DECEMBER 1. 1894, NOTES & COMMENTS The result of the Swansea School Board election has the merit of being conclusive. Sometimes an element of doubt is intro- duced which enables the unsuccessful parties to set up theories acting as salve I to the wo mds suffered. But the fight at I Swansea, i;as produced a result definite and unmistakable. A verdict has been delivered which is fatal to controversy. The fact that wa regret its character does not tempt us to ignore the truth. Our Church friends have fallen in batches by I the way, and the undenominataonalists have, metaphorically, trampled them under foot. This frank admission that the election I has gone in favour of the party which dominated the old board should ensure some respect for certain considerations, which we submit, break the force to some extent of the blow inflicted on the Church party. We feel no disposition to explain away the victory of the undenominatioc- aliats; on the contrary, .we accept it as convincing, and can only deeply deplore that the ties ofSeet proved more enduring and widespread than regard for the interests of education as a thing which ought to be above sect and party. i An independent Churchman heads tbe list in Mr. Christopher James, but three only of the official denominational candi- dates won seats, two of them Churchmen the other a Roman Catholic priest. The figures if they disclose anything, show that in a fair and square fight the denomi- nationalists cannot secure control of the Board while the grcllt body of Noncon- formists vote the straight party ticket regardless of- the efieot thus produced upon the educational machinery. Even if the votes of the Independent Church candidates are counted in and an allowance is made for the wastage of Church votes on non-official candidates who played what the Yankees call "A lone hand" without success, it must be admitted that the returns demonstrate the inability of the denomi- nationalists to secure the odd trick which carries control of the Board. Their voting strength, inclusive of the 13,900 votesgiven to Mr. James, fell short of 64,000votes, which,however nicely disposed, i could not be expected to yield more than seven members, and in actual fight would not probably yield as many. In the light of these figures it would appear as if the denominationalists had over-reached them- selves. But, in point of fact, they advisedly sought for a majority, con- vinced by past experience on the board that it mattered little what the strength of the minority was while the majority steadily voted it down. One comfort, at all events, the Church party may extract from the returns, disagreeable as they may seem judged by the net effect. I The votes show a surprising growth to the I strength of the Church during the last three years. The official Church candidates polled over 40,000 votes, or nearly twice as many as were recorded for them in 1891. Two Independent candidates easily t b^ded the list. Their triumph attested to the advantage of the cumulative voto to candidates who have a following and do I not suffer from the splitting of votes. The Independents carried away 39,816 votes, or nearly a fourth of the grand aggregate. Dr. Morgan com- manded practically the same support as in 1891; Mr. Dd, Harris fell back to the ex- tent of nearly 2,000 votes. The undenominational vote turned just over 100,000, or slightly more than 50 per cent. of the whole number recorded. In 1891, 147,771 votes were cast, or 42,582 fewer than on this occasion when the grand aggregate reached 190,303. As the electorate had, roughly, 240,000 votes to give, it follows that about 79 per cent. of the electors came to the poll-a truly phenomenal proportion at a School Board election. There has, of course, been an increase in the register, but not to any- thing like the extent represented by the fact that 2,800 persons more recorded their votes. Taken all in all, it has been a I remarkable contest, maintained on the ¡ whole in good spirit. I T trial match at Newport to-day promises to go the way of all previous events of the kind. It will be played- some footballers will distinguish them- selves, others will not-and then the Mt.tch Committee will proceed to select a team, regardless altogether of the form shown or whether any particular man turns up or not. It is called "a trial match as an act of courtesy, and has no serious significance whatever. Since the Union authorities refuse to be influenced V. :f- they should, at least, have the grace to-, t. to the players who accept their mviCtti. -*»v, and who will in no case • v j cnfcancc, some trilling* ha<% -i.' did turn out for theIr disu should, at least, beeqn&. a county.

r THE POST BAG.
r THE POST BAG. To-day is the fiftieth birthday of the s Priueoss of Wales. The Daily Chronicle is respoasible for the statement that Lord Swansea's bronze effigy stands in "the market place." Major Jones says that Swansea is a good place to sleep in. No wonder then Justice Lawrance seemed to enjoy a dignified nap one day this week. Cardiganshire complaios that, although the county raises beef, pigs, and parsons of excellent qualitr. the best of them all are sent to Glamorganshire. "The Lord helps those who help them- selves,but the Lord help those whom we catch stealing our glasses." Such is the motto of mine host of a Swansea pubiichouse. A rtunour is afloat in Swaesea that a very vapid professional gentleman is losing his mind. All we can say is that he's luefcy if he loses nothing else in these bard times. We regret we are unable to joia issue with Dr. John Evans," says a Swansea paper. It isn't often one man regrets he can't disagree with another; as a ruio, it is easy enough. Wjiat is your occupation my man ?" asked a local legat luminary of a witness in the Swansea Police-court. "Well, sir, I have been a Baptist ever since I can remember" was the innocent's reply. A man who was present at the assizes [•ttaa the Llaneily Sanitary Authority were ordered totly £ 30 for cutting the connection with a well at Gowerton remarked that in future it would be better for that body to leave well alone." Judge Gwilym Williams's good lady made such an excellent speech at Pontypridd one night this week that even the judge himself was startled. In his bewilderment he sug- gested Mrs. Williams should take his place on the bench and allow her husband to go for a epree." What varied moods young Cymru Fydd affects says the Mail. Last night's meeting at Cardiff was divided in three equal parts of condolence, congratulation, and condemna- tion. The nrstco". was for Baron Swansea's relatives, the second for the new secretary of the league, and the third for magistrates who dared to punish Peggy Lewis for ill-treating dumb animals. A well-known Swansea minister, whose black and glossy curls are his giorv, is at present compelled to keep his bed through in- disposition. A follower, who visited him yesterday, found the rev. gentleman's hair quite grey. He imagined at first that some terrible grief bad dona the whitening deed, but on looking round the room, he dis- covered the secret by means of an unopened pot of Jjjfesrtly after the declaration of the poll last nisiht, a rumour gained considerable currency that Dr. William Morgan, Northampton-place, had dropped dead, the suggestion being that the excitement in con- nection with the School Board contest was the cause. There was hot the slightest truth in the rumour, and we may, therefore, yet see an interesting fight for the School Board chairmanship. When the Rev. Osear Snelling was visiting the Swansea Werkhonse on Wednesday, one of the pauper inmates asked permission for a day's leave of absence on Friday in order that he might be enabled to vote for the Rev. A. A, Mathewa. Leave was not granted on the gPMHHl that a pauper is not entitled to vote. The Guilu-hall courtyard presented quite a lively and animated scene all through yesterday. Ambitious school board candi- dates were chatting busily about their chances, and how many more votes had been registered in their favour than for their opponents. The possibility of being rejected by the electors did not seem to bother one of them. They were all talking about majorities, and none about minorities. I « Ah," said an old Swansea sport, who was discoursing in the Royal bar last night, "I remember the time when I had oaly to tickle I that stream down in Clyne Valley with my fingers te catch haif a dozen aalwon without rod or line." And I," said the man who was talking against him, remember that in Clyne Wood, whenever I wanted to oatch a squirrel I had only to run up a tree with the fleetness of a greyhound to nip him by the foreieg." The charming weather of tbis morning induced quite a small army of Rhondda people to rido to Swansea by the various trains. The most notable individual among them was John Jones, Tonypandy, who lit a big eigar just before coming out of the station. His mate thought Joues was going I it a bit too thick, and cried out to him, Nawr, Johnt you wass try to show big: take that shigar out 3 our head." When Dr. Morgan contested the school board election three years SAO, his name was fifteenth on the list of candidates. How- ever, he pollod second, with 11,417 votes. On the present occasion his name was fifteenth ou the list of candidates he again polled in the second position, the number of votes being 11,423, or a difference of only six as compared with his record three > years previously. ——_ I The following story in connection with the lato Dr. Retts, of Swansea, will be interesting The doctor was staying in England, and was I after muah pressure, induced to attend au I anti-tobaceo meeting. The lecturer' grew eloquent about the sinful waste of tob^cco- -Mnoking, and gave the vast dhaeusions of a >-i.. composed of the tobacro annually COII- Great Britain.
