MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1895.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1895. NOTES & COMMENTS --+- The suggestion which Mr. Frank Randell of Llanelly, has thrown out respecting the using of tin-plates as tea chests is unlikely to be barren of practical results. Wo hope to see the tradesmen of South Wales whose prosperity so largely de- depends upon the tin-plate industry co-operating to bring about a change capable of re-placing in the far East the market which, sooner or later, will be partly closed in the United States. Herein seems to lie scope for that action on the part of the Tin-plate Manufacturers' Asso- ciation which has been promised again and again. But the whole burden of the work should not be cast upon them, if only for the reason that part of it can more satis- factorily be shouldered Ly a class little less interested in the trade. Few Swansea people probably realise how large a proportion of the money that changes hands from day to day in the town i and district represents, directly or in- directly, the cash got from consumers of tin-plates. The bulk of the coal shipped at Swansea means no more to the town than the money earned in handling it, the dock dues paid by the vesseie and the money spent by the crews of the latter. Much the larger proportion of the sun. paul for the coal by the foreign or home consumer is spent in the coal valleys far removed from Swansea. In Cardiff the chief shippers are also the colliery proprietors, and with their staffs reside in cr close to the tuwn, and a part even of the wages paid for coal-winning in the valleys find its way into Cardiff coffers. But at Swansea we handle little of the wealth that comes from the coal shipped here. It is not so with the revenues of the tin-plate trade. Not only does a much larger percentage of the money obtained from the sale of the finished article repre- sent the earnings of labour, but those earnings almost entirely pass into the local currency. Our copper works have long ago lost their position as the chief sources of local wealth it is the revenue gathered by the many tinworks around, and by them distributed into a thousand channels, that make3 the prosperity of Swansea. This truth would be fully realized if from any cause whatever all the tin-plate works of the district were brought to a standstill for a long period. In these circumstances it is not un- reasonable to ask the grocers of Swansea and district to make one vigorous effort to induce the great tea merchants of London and Liverpool to give the tinned-plate a fair trial. We say tinned advisedly, though the terne-plate has had the pre- ference so far, by reason of its slightly lesser cost. Lead is not a desirable metal to bring into close contract with tea. There I is a Grocers' Association in the town. It has an opportunity in this matter of justifying its existence. We hope to see Mr. James Jones, as the president of the association, taking the business seriously in hand. If the tea merchants of London were once given plainly to understand that they are expected to send their Welsh customers the tea in tin chests infinite I good might result, especially as there are substantial reasons for believing that, if fairly tried, tin-plates are likely to prove more serviceable than the wood hitherto used. At Cardiff a Grocers' Exchange is about to be opened. Even in Eastern Wales grocers cannot be indifferent to the fate of the tin-plate trade with works at Llantri- sant, Whitchurch, Aberdare, and a round dozen in the Monmouthshire valleys. Apart from the revenue directly derivable by them from tin-pi ate making, the latter disposes of an immense amount of the coal produced in Wales. If Mr. Ed. Parker, the secretary of the Cardiff Association, can be persuaded to go into the matter, we are confident that he will see that in aidmg to give effect to the suggestion of Mr Frank Randell, the body for which he ably acts can worthily manifest its growing importance. The prospects afforded at the present moment by the November elections at Swansea can bo satisfactory to no thought- ful ratepayer who realises how much influence for good and for evil lies in the hands of the council. Those of the alder- men and councillors who wish to remain members of the latter—the fit and unfit allkc-ariticipate no difficulty in retaining their seats, and the question whether this or that gentleman during his term of office has been a useful or a useless servant of the public does not seem to have the f?iighteat bearing on his chances of re-elec- tion. Members who consider that they have justified public confidence speak when they speak from their hearts as if the burgesses were so beholden to them that they are ot,?t'tlod to g I ,o back on their own tera-is One resents criticism, as if possession of good intentions ought to free him from the chief security the ratepayers have against misgovernment another will not hrook successful opposition to his views in the council, and so the chapter of incidents is made up which attests to the depressing fact that public life in Swansea has reached a low level, and the distinction implied in the holding of places of trust has to a great extent passed away. The scarcity of new men of the proper stamp, ready and willing to fill the gaps made by timo and other circumstances points to the same conclusion. Contemplating the material available for renewing the Council in part as provided by law, it is impossible to believe that the chief administrative authority in the borough will be materially bettered by the process. The fault lies with the ratepayers them- selves. Their apparently invincible apathy enables small cliques to determine the representation of the wards, and whenever, as the result of it, a representative is returned of inferior capacity or indifferent character, a fresh difficulty is created in securing the best talent available for public work. It is not the fear of healthy criticism which deters the better class of men from holding aloof, nor even possible misrepre- sentation. These have no terrors for the really strong man, since he knows that it is out of the clash and friction of con- flicting opinions that the wise view and the prudent action are resolved. Granted an intelligent interest in public affairs on the part of the ratepayers, and he can afford to laugh at the petty annoyances which affright and discourage the weak. No! it is want of confidence in the electors themselves that keeps the best elements in the life of this community from coming forward to arrest the degeneracy in public life. At the root of the mischief is the secret committee system, which prevents the public from getting more than a fragmentary know- ledge of Corporation action, and renders an intelligent interest in all that is being done iu the name of the borough well-nigh impossible.
-------------FOOTBALL NO"fES.…
FOOTBALL NO"fES. [BY "FREE LANCE."] All Whites malee up fur lost time.—Morris- ton malce a plucky stand against Llanelly. —Honours even at Aberavon, Football in West Wales on Saturday furnished no surprises. It was pretty generally agreed that Llanelly would just about; get home at Morriston, and that Swansea had a soft thing on with Lampeter, while of the game at Aheravos it was all the stolen ingots t. a 'tanner" that three points would be the biggest margin between Aberavon and Neath. I said that western football furnished no sur- prises. Perhaps I was wrong. 1 doa't fancy many ot us who \ve»it to St. Helen's expected to see the All Whites pile on the agony as thf-y did. Our goal average sadly wanted improving, aud, thanks to Saturuay's display, we may now pride ourselves on having arrived at a position that is eminently respectable, though it won't bear comparison with that of our ruddy friends down the line. After the display of our forwards at Llanelly on Satuidiy wee! it was apparent that it ve could OIlJY liad up one new halt-back and a couple of threequarters, we should havo a team tliat wot-1 j make a good show against any cou;bi!ja- tion, either in the Principality or out ot it. NfW, it our thr« quarter line on Saturday week had shown anyl hing like th; anxiety t. score during the first hilt-time as they did on Saturday last, we should have crossed the Llanelly line two or three times. In other wotds our alterations in the rear division bid fair to be a decided success. If Griffiths goes en display- ing the form that he give us occasional glimpses of acainst Lampeter ChegwiddeM \"8n.t get back into the team very easily, that is, assumm Billy Crocker doesn't go "od." (In iorns I mean, not to the North!) After Saturday's gife21 more than ever covirced that Mills has the making of a really fiue win^-threequartcr. He only wants well -i c?iitre, ti,,d (,r'flitijs lirn well L?y lii..1 last 13atur(laY, aud iiicire experience of firtit-eltts matches and all will be wdl! Cordon \\ill have to look to his laurels At half-back young Owen impressed me most favourably, aull if Prrscott is able to turn out next Saturday against Newport I don't feel at all sure that Owen won't be asked to partner him. He passes out smartly and doesn't iortt that ho has athreequaruer-iine behind him. The huge crowd that vilnessed the Llanellv- Morriston ma.tch on Saturday were delighted with the capital exhibition of football given. It was unusually interesting, and occasionally the play was about the best seen in the west for many a long day. Morristomians had good reason to be pleased with the work done by their team. That they failed tc hold up to the end under the strain of the brilliant attack of the Scarlets is no dis- credit to them. The forwards were excellent, and in defence the backs showed surprising icsource. But attack alter all is the best defence, and it was her. that they failed. Their combination was defective in the ex- treme. For 4 1 e-hicfly tiold r.2spon?,?ible t-,ie tLi? practice ot Morriston in playing men who cannot turn out regularly with the team. I tini the more free to say this, as on Saturday Harry Bees, who is an example of the occasional player, was easily the best 10Hm behind. But the day is pone for trusting to individual play to win matches. The sooner Morriston depends solely upon homo talent which is available always the btUer it will be for the team. During one season Llanelly had the services of C. B. Niche), Conway Rees, Harry lieas, Rowley Thomas, and Percy Lloyd, each indi- vidually of the first rank. It was one of the w«rst seasons ever experienced by the Scarlei.8. Average talent whick gets a chance of 1 using & together is infinitely inere serviceable than the brilliancy of occasional stars. Let Morriston have the courage to act up to the rubral disclosed by the past eipwcieac* of Lianeiiy. The score does not seem to eon firm fcho view, yet f put- it forward iu all confidence that the werii: of the Scarlets was their best so far this season. The passing at 'intervals by reason of its neatness atid variety was exceedingly clover, end much as 1 admire Every's dash just-ice requires it to be added that Badger gave a tone to the back work which was not there in the earlier matches. He laded to take the passes rather badly some- times, especially in the first half, but as the game progressed full atonement was made for this. W. Da vies improves with every match, and with Badger in the centre the Llanellv quartette is one difficult to improve upon. D, Morgan, too, is gradually getting back to his old form. On Saturday he suffered from the ISlose attention paid to him on the other side. Morriston during the first half played wing forwards—a Yorkshire innovation which was successfully protested against in the second half. At Llanelly the L ot weight in the forwards W41, ?i ia some quarters is provo-kin, tnc there is a disposition to find room for D. \V. Nichol and Que II r two other men of his build. The club authorities will be wise if they leave well alone. A pack that cultivates heeling out does so at the expense of its pushing capacity. When men have o:ie foot ofl'Jtbe ground scooping ior the bull they cannot scrimmage hard. There is another reason why the committee ?h(,uld n,,u 3,ield to the iiatural des; to Pdd weight to tile p:lci? T,,Ae team are now a band 're of brothers, and jealousy is practically non- existent. Chalilges cannot be made without imperilling this good feeling. It is felt—and the feeling is not unreasonable—that the players who came forward and helped to lift the club from the slough of despond should hot be shunted for others who held aloof until prosperity began to smile nco more upon the organization. If a man falls off seriously in his play, or a vacancy occurs in some other way—then a forward with weight might be advantageously introduced. But to do so in any other circumstances is to invite trouble. t By the way, when will some plan be adopted fur letting people know who is the scorer when a try is got ? Newspaper men have to depend for information upon any chance statement made to them if they do not clearly see the scorer. On Saturday, at Morriston, for example, all the newspaper reports credited Ben Davies with the first try, because one of the l';Scarlets thought it was the ex-suipper who secured the bail in the scramble. In point of fact, it was Badger who signalised his return to the fold by scoring the first try. There was a sort of rough justice in the mistake, however, as Evan Llowd was uni- versally given as the getter of the only try in the Swansea-Llanelly match, when it was Beu Davies who was the try-getter on this occasion as on the previous occasion that the All Whites visited Stradey. Our local internationals are wearing the best- ,10-t --chapel looks just now, for Alr. Siedle, of Swansea, has been commissioned to take their photographs for the "Famous Footballers"' stries. Bancroft, and I believe A. M. Jenkin and Jackson went through the operation some time ago. On Saturday, Badger and Evan Lloyd visited the stuctio, and Bea Davies aad D. Morgan are due there to-day. The draw at Newport is the surprise of the season. It is only another instance of the diffi- culty of scoring against a team which has laid itself out to stop it. Opportunities to score occur frequently when both sides consider they have an equal chance. My Neath correspondent writes: — I was agreealsly surprised at the exceptionally good show at Aberavon on Saturday last. I have never seen that team play such a game before. Of course there were detects, and serious ones too, in the style adopted by the quartette. A9 j we pointed out on Saturday evening, their i passing was too mechanical. Had the I. centres oftener tried to break through and succeeded, say but once or twice, the game would probably not have ended in a draw. If the 'Avomtes remedy this defect I think the team will render even a better account of itself this season than it has yet done. The hoaae forwards were a rattling good lot, and kept up a brisk pace from stare to finish. it, the tight scrums Neath got the ball oftener, but in the loose the home eight at times mare than held their own. I must confess the Neath forwards disappointed me, I had anticipated that they would have been more than a match for the heavy hame eight. Albert Hutchinson, one of the most reiiabie and clever scrummagers Neath has, was absent, and his place taken by a substitute. This had the effect of upsetting the combination. It must not be interred that the visiting eight did badly, for nothing of the kind occurred. Even on Saturday's form they were abuut a fair match for the home eight. Comins to the halves, Thomas and Cross played better football than Dan and Jack Jones. 1 he latter was off-side for the greater part of the a ne, causing his team to be several times penalised..Dan Jones, to my mind, played a much better game than his eJlltrere." lie made many excellent openings for his backs, which has been pointed out were not as well-utilised as they should have been. Evan Jones was the bet threequartr on the Aberavon side, but JofiU and Kees did good work, albeit the former is not to be relied upon for taking a pass. Kees Lewis, the fuJl-báC¡;, has played many better games than he did on Saturday. Of the Neath quartette Johnny Williams stood "tip-top." His effort in the second half-the most brilliant during the gaine-was lost owing to a mull by Evan Morgan, whom I will now leave severely alone. Biu Jone3 did much useful aggressive and defensive work, but Steer was not in as good form as usual. Joe Davies was "great." His dropped goal, which pulled the match out of the tire, would have done credit to even a greater man than "Banky." To st:m up, the match was well contested from start. to finish, takil)" ii IIALLtters iiito CI)bs, ?tiu., a i,teri result is about a lair h,dex to the character of the game. Through'hi non-appearance of the Morriston Exceisiors at Neath on Saturday last, the Y.M.C. A were greatly disappointed. flue homesters ilud put in an immense amount of tr iuing during the wcek, aud a good gallle was anticipated by their suj p t i's. Notes on Swansea II. v.

SWANSEA GOSPEL TEMPERANCE UNION. APOLOGY TO THE PRESIDENT. The weekly temperance meeting held at the new had was made doubly pleasant on Saturday by the neat speeches of OJipsy Smith and Councillor Roeke, and musical selections by Messrs Turner and Gama-e's: string band. There was a numerous company and the proceedings were very enjoyable throughout. Councillor Kocke entered the meeting rather latt and in apologising for his late arrival also tenderod an apology Oil behalf of the temperance society to Mr and Mrs Bishop, who, he said, had been unkindlv referred to by one of the speakers at the meeting on the 5th oi October. lie also s id he hoped the temperance party would be more tolerant in their views in future. They could ill-afford to lose bueb ardent temperance workers as Mr. and Mrs. Bi.sbop, who happened to differ from them politically. (Applause).—G:psy Smith followed with a temperance address, in which he endeavoured to show that the Swansea tomperane people were not enough to cone with the drink traiitcanu its victims. It was all very vrell to hold weekly meetings, but it was the- traffic going on of a Saturday night they wanted to stop, and it was oniy by intercepting the drunkard in the street that -nd colild be ,,lie L
