SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1895. ¡ NOTES & COMMENTS «. If the general election be much longer I delayed Mr. E. H. Medley will be a member I of every lodge and «;ourt in Swansea Dis- trict leiore it eomej. Wo may have him I even sighing in vain for more lodges to join. I He is by this time an Oddfellow, Shepherd, and Forester many times over, and he has undergone the ceremony of initiation te the point of exhaustion. Even Mr. Brynmor Jones eeerns to have been im- pressed by tho "joining'' capacity of his rival, for he has been spurred into emula- rival, for he has been spurred into emula- tion. We hOPE2 to see the keenest rivalry I between the twain in this respect. Friendly societies can do with a few honorary mem- bers, and what is the good of having can- didates unless they can be made to serve some useful purpose ? The National Eisteddfod of 1895 will introduee a new conductor to the eistedd- fodwyr of Wales in Judge Edwards, of Scranton, for he was selected by the Lianeiiy committee this week on the clear understanding that he will come over tor the occasion. His is a familiar figure to our kin beyond the water. Professor Darlington, in a recent number of Wales, devoted a special paragraph to the Judge, whom he met. at Scranton on tho occa- sion of his viaifc to the States. It appears that Judge Edwards is a. native of Ebbw Vale, and emigrated when twenty years of age, took to journalism for a living, and afterwards abandoned it for the law, winning by perseverance and ability the position he now occupies. He is described ;1 as a fluent speaker both in Welsh and English. "As he presided over the Scranton Eisteddfod which I attended," I writes Professor Darlington, I was enabled in some measure to appreciate the eloquence, wit, and culture which have given him so high a place in the esteem of his fellow-countrymen in America.. I learn 1 with pleasure that there is a probability of his paying a. visit to the old country in 1895, and I hope the people of Wales will then have opportunities of becoming more closely acquainted with him." By a singular oversight we have been led to do the Swansea Corporation a serious injustice. The grand totai of the bill of costs published by us should have been not £4B7 4s. 2d., but £7,3458$., an obviously more respectable sum. A trifle over £ .%000—when dealing with thousands a few pounds this or that way are beneath notice—was spent in defending the action of Mr. Baldry against the Corporation, J6779 of that amount representing the expenses paid to ten alderman and councillors and the Corporation officials on account of their expenses to and in London. Parliamentary action in respect of the Cray Water Works cost the boro<i..h £2,984, the expenses of Corporation mem- bers and officials representing £fj82. In this connection we are javourably im- pressed by the studied moderation of the bill of the Parliamentary agents, who might polJibly have charged £1,500, but actually stopped short at £1,499 17s. 9d. Mr. McTurk's arbitration proceedings appear to have bnen conducted on severely economical lines for the personal expenses item was £165, and counsel and witnesses shared but £1,117 between them. And the grand total—the phrase fits the figures kke a glove--a5 we have-already stated is £7,:3-.1-5, a fairly decent bill for even a period ex- tending over three years and for a trio of transactions. We gather that it is not the custom to present details of an expense bill to the Finance Committee, but, as becomes a body of honourable gentlemen, round figures only are required. Which is a! respectful and considerate custom, but not good business. This matter of personal expenses is inseparably wedded to that of; t secret comxeittees which iaHihe-chiefreason whywe»ara bocmd to make th6-most document that withoot the sanction of the J Council haa strayed into public vifjw. Every reasonable man is prepared to admit that thewnterwsts of the borough occasionally demand the presence of Aldermen and Couneillors-in Lotidon, and tbat it woukl. be a mean and scurvy thing to expect them to render service at expense to them- selves. W 8 are quite prepared to find that certain of the sums set against rrame*. of Aldermen and Councillors represent bare oat-of-pocket expenses. But for aught the ratepayers know to the contrary,, the totals include large sums which need never have been spent, and expenses which need never have been incurred. And yet, so hedged around in secrecy are vital facts connected with the Corporation, that but for the happy mischance which secured us the figures this bill of over £7,000 would have been passed without ore word of COlBllWntor explanation. A council which frequently discusses trivialities has not had sthe will nor the time to give ten minutes to consider this bill in public for the benefit of the ratepayers. Alderman Tutton would probably tell us tftat each bill has gone before the finance committae, and that everything comes before the monthly meeting. The obvious reply would be that a finance committee meeting behind closed doors, Hnd consti- tute i of gentlemen who, if not members l,of these perambulating deputations, hope some day to be^does not provide" that effec- tive check upon this class of expenditure which the public have a right to expect. As for the monthly-meeting, what has it doae with this particular bill except bury it out of sight of the community ? We trust- that the members of the council who have ass sted in producing the grand total will furnith the public with a rough idea of the circumstances under which the ex- penses were incurred, and that they will be able to satisfy the reasonable. If that be done it will then be necessary to deter- mine only the needfulness of so many being called to London, and to consider why the public are not placed in possession of the facts in the ordinary course, without the necessity being imposed on any member of demanding a return of expenses, and without giving a newspaper the chance of j''sensationalizing"—-in tha language of Mr E. R. Daniei<— that which ought to be; a cold and prosaic matter of fact.

THE POST BAG. I A witness in describing certain horses at the Lianally Poiiee-court, said one could play the harp en them. A eynic says that a woman was kicked in tbe jaw by & horse in Swansea recently. The herse's foot wan broken A Methodast gyinanfaheld at Crug Glas, Swansea, 73 years age, was atieudeti by 5 preachers and 6,000 hearers. You can't please s ome people. There was Swansea ma.n ceinplaining last mgbt I because of the iuconveaiences of the thaw. A soldier home on furlough at Swansea was remonstrated with yesterday for u&iug language too vigorous and free. "Oh.' he drawled in reply, II we really can't help it in the harmy. The Ladies' Supplement of the Mail remarks :—" Silence is the best ornament ol a woman." "Silence is wisdom.' Silence seldom does harm." Silence is goldcu," ilod I many more. This is as it should be. One cf the funniest yarns told at the Swan- sea Empue this week is that bv Kennedy Allen, who relates the adventures of the man who eonldn't smile on a Sunday without breaking the Sabbath. Mr. Manard, the crack "fhootist" at the Empire, started life as a compositor on the staff of the Daily Chronicle, lie speaks French and German fluently, and is an ex- J eeptionally good conversationalist, { The Watch Committee's minutes read at the ¡ Swansea Council meeting had a recommenda- tion tnat the Chief Constable should report upon the provision of a home for stray dogs in Swansea. The present pric-c of sausages is certainly very high. There's trouble brewing for a Neath lady. On the railway platform last evening some- thing in male attira'shouted to her across the iiieta;g "Alright, madam, I be watching you, metaJs "Alright, madam, I be watching you, and what's more I don't intend keeping my lieye off yen, so there I So you have been learning dancing said I a youth at Mr. Ben Evans and Co s. dance I to his friend. And how do you like waltz- ing h Oh, it is not so bad. I manage it pretty well myself, but the girl is rather in I the way." Mr. Kennedy Allen, the second edition of Dan Leno, appearing at the Empire this week, is an old Lianeiiy favourite, and during the week scores of his admirers from the tin- plate town have been buzzing round the popular house of entertainment. Rbonddaites swarmed iiito Swansea this morning in bigger numbers than usnal, and of course some of them were profose in their comments on everything in general, "Will, mun, look:" said one of them, "there'* mud here. No freeze like in the. Rhondda, my boy." A local chronicle states that the Fleur de Lis, a Swansea vessel, is supposed to be somewhere between Cape Clear and New York." It is quite clear that the vessel is at a-m. the Atlantic in fact. It is equally clesr that the writer of the paragraph is also at sea. A gentleman of the Hebrew persuasion volunteered to give evidence in a case at Neath yesterday. He was interrupted by the clerk who said: "Stop a bit; you have net been 8WiJrn." Oh," readily replied the wit- ness, I'll swear if yon and he did. He Did. afterwards that he had often done so before. I There is hope for the Neath Cymmroderion Society. They are making an effort to I organiso a banquet to take plaee on St. David's Day. Anent this a prominent local Cymmrodorion said to a Post reporter the I other evening: li We have appealed to their brains with bis I little success; now we'll try their stomachs. Perhaps we shall be more successful," Overheard at Pontardulais one day last t week. Ladv: "Areyou going to the ball to- morrow mtt, Mr. ——- ? Gentleman (not invited): It won't be up to much, very likely so I don't think it worth going. But don't be surprised if yon will see me turning up there about twelve," Lady: Don't you be sur- prised either, Mr. » te «se yourself. efcuckefltout." At the Neath County Poliee-court, an old Sady, who bad borae the burden of nearly 80 years, denied having made use of vulgar I remarks, imputed to her by an officer of the law, and couched her denial in the following terms*—"Gentleraens what do sit up there, please hear what I hare got to say. Dear, dear, I did not use vulgar. When he did come with the blue paper I told hiui (thank I you' says 1. I am very glad to see you, and when you do come this way please call again. I A Cwmbwrla tin-plater was one of a com- pany who went to Ilfracombe seme time ago 1 for a trip. When they arrived, a party ef about 20 en^a<ied a boat to go for a sail, but our hero remained behind. Hearing a cry for help, he went to the rescue, and the rumour was spread that he had found a watery grave. However, to his friends' surprise, he arrived home safe and sound. Jawch, mun, I wass told you wass drownded," was the remark he heard on all sides. Drownded, indeed!" Wf.8 his response, how could that be when I wass all the time standing on terar firmer, and, jawch y mottoi, I wass told many times never be drownded, for my head be too light." In Mr. W. J. Linton's new work, entitled Memories," the author refers to the Rebecca Riota in Wales. Hero is an interesting passage sketching tbe movement:—" Its'ieias that power is vested in the local magistracy, or arrogated by them, to impose tolls on the high roads, and. not only ou the highroads, -but even on by-ways, to their own personal advantage. So great ft grievance had this become in Carmarthenshire that the farming people at last secretly organised themselves, and, maakod and otherwise disguised, mostly as women, passed at night through the nty, smashing the toll-gates, and some- times destroying the houses of the toll- collectors. Tbe band was known as Rebecca I and Har Daughters," some scriptural warrant being found for the name. boldiers were sent into the district, but their interference was rendered of no avail by the universal sym- pathy with tho movement, and the clannish- ness of the Welsh peasantry," THE SWANSEA MEMBER'S LITTLE I BILL.
