SATURDAY, MABCII 12, 1881. LOCAL. THE LAST MATCH FOR THE FOOTBALL CHAL- LENGE CUP. I ill THE anxiety and enthusiasm of football players—which has been expanding into ever-widening circles in proportion as the number of the competing teams for the challenge cup has liarrOWed-Ilts this week reached a climax, for, after a series of matches in which hard work and rough play have been marked features, the victory is so far decided that only two team3 are left in the field of contest. Cardiff and Llanelly arc— according to a dictum which cannot be con- troverted, for theirposition3 havebeen gained by pluck, muscu'ar force, and persevering determination before the eyes of a large number of our countrymen—the best teams of the year, and between the two clubs the question of superiority has to be decided this day (Saturday). Though rivals, we hope they will meat as friends that the rules of the Rugby game will be thoroughly adhered to, so that the culminating contest may be regarded as a kind of pattern game and that whichever club bears off the challenge cup, no grumbling voices will be heard as to the issue. This last is a specially important point, and, it is hoped, will be kept well in view. ATTENDANCE AT THE CARDIFF BOARD OF GUARDIANS. FOR several years, when the election of guardians for the Cardiff Union has been close at hand, we have called attention to the subject of attendance at the Board, with the object of inducing the ratepayers to de- cline sending to the Board gentlemen who so neglect their duties as seldom to put in an appearance at the board meetings. We are glad to find that the subject was mooted at the Board on Saturday last. Mr PLAIN complained of the scant attendance of guardians at the weekly meetings, a few members of, the Board being left to do the work of aU. In St. Mary's parish there were seven guardians, but very few of them turned up at the meetings. He expressed a hope that the ratepayers would, upon the occasion of the election, return such guardians a*would attend without reference either to their politics or their religion. He proposed that the number of attend- ances of eaek guardian should be ascertained and sent to the newspapers for insertion. -Mr T. W. JACOBS seconded the motion, for the believed the ratepayers ought to know how they were represented at this board. Mr MARYCHURCH for instance had not attended a single meeting. Mr STEPHENS had only attended three public meetings, and, he (Mr JACOBS) thought, not a single committee meeting. Mr MORGAN MORGAN again, had only attended five times. After some discussion, it was agreed that the return should be prepared and printed. When tli3 rateDavera of the Cardiif Union ..geo who thus persistently neglect their dilvies, we may fairly expect that such J Guardian will not be re-elected. Not- only do they neglect the interests of those who sent them to the Board, but they make the work heavier for those who attend regularly. — >
DRINK AT FUNERALS.
DRINK AT FUNERALS. Ir is the general opinion that drunkenness at funerals is principally confined to those which have been preceded by a wake that although at most funerals of the working classes drink iii-the shape of beer, or a little spirits, is supplied, yet it is not partaken of to excess. But judging from a case heard at Tredegar police-court on Tuesday last, members of Friendly Societies, who show re- spect for the memory of a deceased brother by attending at his funeral, are not always proof against the temptation to make the occasion one of inordinate indulgence in drink. Six young men were charged with being drunk and disturbing the passengers at the Bryn- mawr Railway-station, on the 14th February. They had all been to a kinertl at Llanelly, burying the body of a member of the Loyal Order of Shepherd?. It does not appear that the drink they had had was given them by the friends of their deceased brother member, or whether they obtained it elsewhere after the funeral. In some parts of the country it is the custom for members of Friendly Societies to attend the funeral of one of their brethren spon- taneously, and without being invited. They form in procession in front of the fienrse, and attend the funeral cer3mony, but when it is over depart in any way they please. In other places it is customary to specially invito such brother members of the deceased, and to provide for them in a fashion which amounts to a serious item in the funeral expenses, and would often be far better employed in after provision for the widow. But in whatever way such demonstrations of respect are carried out, they cease to be- come such when some of the members get drunk and are fined therefor at the police- court. Such a proceeding cannot be very consoling to the friends of the deceased brother Shepherd.
THE OBSERVANCE OF GOOD FRIDAY.
THE OBSERVANCE OF GOOD FRIDAY. STRANGERS on first coming into Wales are generally struck by the fact that Welshmen do not scruple to work on Christmas Day and Good Friday. We have seen—espe- cially in those parts of the Principality where the least mixture of English population is to be found—farmers on these two days plough- ing and carrying on other sorts of farm work as if it was an ordinary working day, and therefore we are not much surprised to find that the show of the Carmarthenshire Agricultural Society is to be held next Good Friday. The subject was discussed at the annual meeting of the Society on S itur- day last. Mr J. FRANCIS pointed out that the April fair day, on which the show was always held, occurred this year on Good Friday. The Secretary said that did not matter, as the fair had often been held on Good Friday, and would be this year, there- fore the show would also be held on that day. Mr J. L. PHILIPPS said that Quarter Sessions are held, and people sent to prison on that day. We very much question the latter statement; we never knew a single instance of any Quarter Sessions being held, or any other court opened on Good Friday. Such business done on that day would not be legaL However, it is probable that farmers will be more inclined to visit the show on Good Friday, than to waste an or- dinary working day and that it being a holiday the public will attend in large num- bers. ————
PAUPERS AND UNION APPOINTMENTS.
PAUPERS AND UNION APPOINTMENTS. THE inmates of workhouses often include among their number man and women of education, intelligence, and good character, who, notwithstanding these advantages, have been worsted in the race of life, and in their old age, or when sickness has come, the workhouse has been their only refuge, ill- ness or some other valid cause having prob- ably debarred them from making due pro- vision for the evil day. Masters aud matrons of workhouses have often received valuable assistance from such persons and when opportunity occurs, there should be no objection to appointing them to paid officers in the workhouse. Many a pauper porter has, when his steadiness and effi- ciency have become recognised, been appointed paid porter, and in one instance we have known an old pauper transformed into the Union school- master, an office he held for many years, eventually retiring on a pension. We think, therefore, that in appoint.ing one of the female paupers of the workhouse to the vacant position of "mother" at the "Cot- tage Homes," the Bridgend Board of Guardians have set au example that other Boards in this district would do well to follow. The fact that the proposition of Mr A. B. PRICE -that JENNET LLOYD, an in- mate of the workhouse be appointed—was carried by a large majority, is a proof that the Guardians generally believe .Mr3 LLOYD capable of performing the duties appertain- ing to the position. The Rev. S. NICHOLL pointed out that to appoint an inmate of the workhouse would be adopting a course an- tagonistic to the views of the Chairman. He would propose that Mrs LLOYD be appointed mother until the Chairman returned, and 'that the appointment be brought before the board, after due notice, for confirmation. Whatever the views of the Chairman may be, we believe that when he finds that the appointment was carried by a large majority he will acquiesce in it. We trust that the Guardians will have no cause to regret their I decision in the matter. 1 0'
THE LAUNCH OF THE SERVIA.…
THE LAUNCH OF THE SERVIA. THE United States has always boasted of being the land of big things." They have the largest rivers, the highest mountains, the most colossal waterfalls, and the largest flocks of cattle. Little Britain cau, however, show some "big things in the way of ships, of which the Great Eastern is the chief example. Another was launched last week on the Clyde for Messrs CUNARD, which, although small compared with that built by Mr SCOTT RUSSELL, may be pronounced to be the next largest in the world. The Servia is 530 feet long, with a gross tonnage of 8,500, and her three compound engines will be equal to 10,500 horse-power. There is no doubt that the Servitt will prove to be a greater success than the Great Eastern, as Messrs CUNARD possess the wonderful faculty of taking every circumstance into considera- tion when they resolve upon a step in an onward direction. The Americans have long.been distanced by this country in the number and tonnage of our steamers, and when it is considered that we execute half the carrying trade of the world, it may easily be estimated how much is left to all the others.
THOMAS CAULYLU'S " REMINISCENCES,"
THOMAS CAULYLU'S REMINISCENCES," THE papers of the late philosopher of Chelsea, which liavp been published by Mr FROUDE, I will give a shock to many reader?. To find some of our household gods shattered by the unsparing hand of one so eminent as I the author of Hero Worship is not a pleusant spectacle. However, when we know that CARLYLE was a disappointed man who had a poor idea of others, and a full estimate of himself, we are not surprised that he should have photographed many of his contemporaries with a bitterness which savours of injustice. We turn with pleasure from these iconoclastic proclivities to the passages relating to his wife, in which the best side of his character is seen. His judgment upon such men as COLERIDGE and WORDSWORTH will not displace them from the niche in which they have been placed by posterity. The faculty of hitting off all the weak points of a man's character was one which CARLYLE indulged in to its fullest ex- tent, and led him into taking a not very' judicial estimate of men. It may be part of the office of a counsel to point out the dark side of the picture, but that is done with a special object.
THE IRISH DIFFICULTY.
THE IRISH DIFFICULTY. "TE must not be turned aside by the inju- dicious utterances of some of the so-called friends of Ireland from doing a simple act of justice to that country. If we cannot con- cede all that Ireland asks, we must give her what is fair and reasonable. The present condition of Ireland is due to many circum- stances over which the British Parliament has no control. A succession of bad seasons has been severely felt in this country by the agricultural classes, but. then we have other industries on which we can rely besides the tillage of the land, and the strain has not boon so severely felt. Ireland has no manufactures, no iron, no coal. If the country were drained, much valuable land would be redeemed, and the depression arising from a too moist atmos- phere would be partially banished. The tactics of the Land League have had the effect of driving much of the capital out of tho country, and thai is about tho worst thing which can befalflii. Capitalists would not think of embarking tliel:r wealth in a land where they and their uoentaV^y be shot at from behind a hedge, and until property and life is safe iio efrorts of the Leíi<1m.e will be of any avail. Frothy oratory w*-l do no good whatever.

FOREIGN.. 1 TIFE ARMISTICE IN THE TRANSVAAL. IT is to bo hoped that the armistice con- cluded between Sic EVELYN WOOD and M. JOUBERT will afford A desirabla opportunity for bringing about a peace between the Boers and Great Britain, Titers is some doubt as to whether the Boers will accept anything but absolute independence, which jthe Go- vernment is not disposed to grant them, and there is reason to believe that Mr GLAD' STONE'S Cabinet will not budge from the position it has taken up. We do not want the Transvaal. It is not a source of strength to this country, and to retain a people who seem capable of self-government is not worthy of a nation which prides itself upon standing at the head of the nations of the earth in all that typifies civilisation and freedom. There is no doubt in the minds of the Boors that they must be vanquished in the end if Great Britain decides upon a continuation of hostilities. Earl RUSSELL gave representative institutions to some of our colonies, and the result has been eminently satisfactory. Guarantees should, however, be taken from the Boers that slavery in any form must be stamped out, or the hated institution will be a source of continued unpleasantness between them and this country.
CONTINENTAL OPINION OF THE…
CONTINENTAL OPINION OF THE BRITISH ARMY. THE military nations of the continent are of opinion that we can do nothing worthy of ) our military fame unless we swell our forces to the size of those which France, Germany, Russia, and Austria can boast of. We, how- ever, can show as much in the way of success in the field as those who possess such colossal armies. We have a navy equal to any two of the continental powers, which entails great expense upon the taxpayers of this country, and it is impossible to maintain hundreds of thousands of soldiers as well, unless we imitate some continental powers in spending all o ur resources upon military display. We are at the head of the naval powers of the world, while our soldiers, man for man, are the equals of any other which they may come in contact with. We cannot expect success to crown our arms every- where, any more than Russia, Germany, France, and Austria. The cost of our small army is as great as those nations which boast of ten times as many men, and there is no reason why it should not become as perfect as the Roman legions of old. The process of improvement has been going on for years, and army reform is still a subject of interest among a portion of our people. Let us pro- ceed in the path we have chosen.
THE GREEK QUESTION.
THE GREEK QUESTION. THERE seems some prospect at last of a solution of the Greek difficulty. If Mr GOSCHEN comes out of the embroglio with success, he will deserve the thanks of the country. No man could have been selected by Mr GLADSTONE more fitted for the deli- cate task than the late member for the City of London, and his Teutonic descent has been a consideration in dealing with the two German Powers. All sorts of evil designs have been attributed to Prince BISMARCK in connection with the Greek question, but we see no reason to suspect him of any other mo- tive than a desire to adjust the quarrel in a manner which will conduce to peace without treading upon the corns of any of the parties most interested. He has said that he would not lose a single Pomeranian grenadier over the Eastern Question, and we believe him. He does not, however, forget that possible combinations may be inimical to the best interests of Germany, and he will carefully r guard against that, we may be sure. Mr GOSCHEN only went out to Constantinople at the urgent request of Mr GLADSTONE, but lie will come home in triumph if he brings "peace with honour."
JAPANESE GARDENING.
JAPANESE GARDENING. WE are in the habit of priding ourselves upon our love of gardening, and certainly we have something to show in that direction, but we do not, like the Japanese, teach gardening in our schools, nor attach plots of ground to them for the cultivation of fruits and flowers. The Chinese, again, have carried gardening to a high pitch of perfection, and every z!1 ry available spot of ground is cultivated iii that populous country. In these islands the Scotch have shown a "more excellent way'' in the same direction, while the Irish seem to have neglected everything but the potato. The Germans and the Dutch are good gardeners, more especially with regard to bulbous plants. 1 he day when every home, however small, has its garden, has not yet arrived, and perhaps it is im- possible of accomplishment but millions of money may yet be earned if the cultiva- tion of fruits, flowers, and vegetables were more universal. At present we import too much and export too little, and efforts ought to be made to bring the two items to balance each other.
THE CARDIFF WATER SUPPLY.
THE CARDIFF WATER SUPPLY. THE Town Council of Cardiff is expected to discuss at its meeting next Monday a ques- tion of enormous magnitude. The water supply of a town like Cardiff is one of those questions which demand an amount of caro- ful deliberation such as comparatively few persons are aware of. Were it a mere ques- tion$engineering, it would bfi important but the otigineerinc, (Tiificulties fall far short of the sum total of subjects which have to be closely and carefully ex- amined. The cost of the undertaking is a serious one, especially when it is remem- bered that there are two schemes between which the choice of the inhabitants or their representatives lies. This difference is itself enormous, so that no one will be surprised to learn that the subject is exciting much interest throughout the town. It has been reported that au attempt will be made by some members of the Corporation to force one of the two schemes upon the town, and to beat down all attempts at careful, disinterested deliberation. Rumours like this are usually rife on such occasions, and therefore too much attention must not be paid to them. Whatever any of the coun- cillors or aldermen may in their secret lieart3 desire, we may give them all credit for being loyal townsmen prepared to sacrifice pet schemes or favourite notions for the general weal. A town has a long memory. Those who act unselfishly, and think more of the general weal than their personal gratification, are not always forgotten. We liave good reason, I then, to anticipate a thorough and exhaustive discussion on the subject. Any attempt at coercion will only provoke resentment. What the Corporation has to do is to select tho scheme which will afford the largest possible supply of the best possible water, with due regard to expenditure. The two schemes which are, so to speak, within reach of the town may be described as the Llanishen and the Aber schemes. "These are described at great length in our columns to-day, and need not therefore be minutely entered into here. What we wish to impress on the attention of Cardiff ratepayers and, indeed, all the in- habitants, is the enormous advantage which the one scheme appears to have over the other. Those who talk sneeringly of #,110 Aber scheme, which has been so well and exhaustively described by Mr LUNDIK in a pamphlet lately published, must have overlooked one or two important facts. We believe that the Corporation has not yet gone into all these facts, and that the rate- payers are not acquainted with them, other- wise the people of Cardiff would insist upon having a voice in determining which of the two schemes is, on every account, the best. If we take into consideration the mere quality of the water supplied from Llanishen and the river Ely, and compare it with the quality of the water of the Aber, the latter is most decidedly preferable to the former. There are possibly some who may think that the hardness or softness of water used for domestic purposes is of purely secondary consideration. They may look upon it in the light of a greater or a less convenience or inconvenience. It is known, for instance, that soft water requires less soap than hard water for washing operations, and that hard water is injurious to the skin, while | i soft water ia thoroughly cleansing. But I this is only part of the truth. It is most important that we should bear in inind what fill this really meíS. The amount of money which hard water actually wastes in a large town iike Cardiff woulcJ; if it were only calculated, astonish those w}},,(; ¡ have never tried to estiinate't. It is stated,' on the authority of Mr BATE.MAN," eIJlUCer 4){ the Lock Katrine Works, that the intro- duction into Glasgow of water of only H- 2 degre^of hardness, instead of water of 8 degrees' of hardness, resulted in a saving of two shiHurts per head of the population. to say nothing df-Adiminished wear and tear of cloMies in washings We are also informed that Glasgow manufacturers who use large quantities of soap have found that the soft water has caused a saving to\fhem ot half the soap formerly required. Butp-perhaps, the importance of this consideratioiXmay be more forcibly shown if we state, oii\good authority, that it has recently been estimated by an experienced public analyst that, allow- ing one gallon of water a day per head of the population for purposes for which soap is em- ployed, and taking yellow soap at4d per lb., a saving of zC14,600 a year for a town of the size of Cardiff would be offected in the article of soap alone by introducing comparatively soft water instead of water of 18 per 100,000 of hardness. Even this is allowed to be too low an estimate of the real saving, for it proceeds on the assumption that the soap is of the very best quality, and that only one gallon of water per head is used. Now it is, we believe, an indis- putable fact that the Aber water is much softer than that which Cardiff obtains from the sources at Llanishen or the Ely. The Llanishen water contains about 22*0- parts of solids in 100,000, while the Ely has 33 -0; whereas the Aber has only 7 -0 parts in 100,000. Yet if it be borne in mind that, according to unimpeachable authority, water, to be pure and wholesome, should not con tain more than eight grains per gallon of solids, unless it be chalk water, in which case the total solids should not exceed fourteen grains per gallon of carbonate of lime, the Aber is unques- tionably superior to its rivals. The Llanishen water contains 22 "0 per 100,000 parts, which gives about 15! grains per gallon of total solids, and of this it has been estimated that L 70 parts in 100,000, or nearly 12 grains per gallon, are carbonate of lime. The Ely water, again, is positively execrable in this respect, for, as we have pointed out, its total solids amount to 33-0 parts in 100,000, that is, 23.10 grains per gallon and of this we have 26*0 parts in 100,000 of carbonate of lime, which is equal to about 18'2 grains per gallon. The Aber water, which yields only 7 parts in 100,000 of total solids, that is, less than 5 grains per gallon, of which 4 parts in 100,000, or between 2 and 3 grains per gallon, are car- bonate of lime, is incomparably superior to either of the two other supplies. Even setting aside the question of the cost of engineering work involved, and calculating the saving in soap alone, the result would prove that nothing but sheer infatuation could persuade any person living in Cardiff to pooh-pooh the Aber scheme as not worthy of attention. Money saved to a town is money gained. It is money in pocket. Whether it be a saving in rates or taxes, in soap, or in any other commodity, it is a financial gain and if it can be shown that the Aber water would give the people of Cardiff several thousands a year in the form of money saved, the money- spenders will surely insist upon some atten- tion being paid to it. We have only referred as yet to a saving of money expended on soap for domestic purposes. If, however, it be borne in mind that the Llanishen extension scheme will involve an outlay of from £100,000 to zC120,000, while the Aber scheme is esti- mated at something like £ 40,000, we have another reason for hesitating before commit- ting the town to the former enormous out- lay. It has been said that the Aber water is slightly coloured. True, but is not the Llanishen water also coloured 2 The peaty soil affects them both, and so does the luxurious growth of ferns. But even here the advantage does not lie with Llanishen, for some of the tributaries to which it is in- debted are deeply stained. One of them has been described as of blood-red colour. Absolutely colourless water cannot always be obtained. But there should be no ob- jection made to the Aber on this score, if it apply equally or even more so to the Llanishen scheme. One very curious objection brought against the Aber scheme must, we imagine, have proceeded from a wag. It has been stated that the fall of water from such a height as the Aber to the low level of Cardiff would produce such a strain upon the mains at the docks as to send them flying in all directions. This would certainly be a cala- mity, more especially as our dock accommo- dation is already too limited The water supplied to Merthyr is at the straining basin 1,079 feet above the sea-level, 921 feet at the ,filter beds near the town, and the town itself is from 500 to 600 feet yet no such disasters have occurred. Mains have occa- sionally burst, and sent a portion of the street skyward, but accidents must happen now and then, whatever precautions we may adoDt. What the Municipal authorities at Cardiff have to do is to proceed cautiously to work. There are several questions in- volved on which we have not yet touched, but even those which we have mentioned are surely not of so trifling a character that they may be bundled to one side without consideration.
FARMERS' GRIEVANCES.
FARMERS' GRIEVANCES. IT has been said that every,, section of trade has prospered under the Legislature of the present reign, except the agricultural in- terest. For this we believe the farmers, to a great extent, have only themselves to blame. So long as foreign competition was in its infancy, and the profits of farmingwere high, farmers were content with the laws affecting agriculture. But within the last twenty years a great and important change has taken place. The great products of the British farmer,corn, meat, butter, eggs, and fruit, are brought to this country, and sold at a price that makes it extremely difficult for the home farmer to sell his pro- duce at a profit. Hence the necessity for reducing as far as possible all outside charges upon his land aud its productions. one great remedy for agricultural depres- sion when it first began to be severely felt, farmers were told that they must put more capital into the land they occupy, and they admitted the force of this reasoning. Modern farming is, or ought to be. conducted on far different principles than were in vogue thirty years ago, and in order to compete as far as possible with his American brethren, the British farmer must farm on those scientific principles now shown to be necessary if tho land is to be made to yield its full produce. But there was in many cases little if any inducement to a farmer to put more capital in his land. With tenan- cies, as a rule, of short duration, and no positive assurance of compensation. a good farmer had no e ncouragement whatever to farm according to the rules of modern science; and where the landlord's interest was for life, or for a less estate than in fee, the difficulty became greater. When farmers began to bo alive to their grievances in this respect, it was felt that this state of things militated against the interests of the contracting parties; and that whilst measures were necessary to secure to the landlord tho proper cultivation of his land, the occupier, on the other hand, should be protected from loss in the event of being turned out of his holding. With this end in view the Agricul- tural Holdings Act of 1875 was in- troduced, and the hopes of farmers I were raised to the highest pitch, only I to be disappointed. The 67th Clause of the Act gave power to landlords and tenants to contract themselves out of its provisions, by giving notice within two months after the commencement of the Act. and the great majority of landlords' took I ^advantage of the clause, leaving tenant faras badly oil as before the passing of the Act It is true that in the absence of written.contracts,customary usages granting" compensation il1 vogue in some parts of the country, ana^dso J'-hafc tlw. Agricultural Holdings Act was m some few cai.es aJopied in part as the basis of agreemeukT^elleficial to both landlord and tenant. J»t' £ these cases were the exception to the rule th ai h the Act left things as they were. Anothei attempt, or rather two attempts, a.re beins; made this session to introduce legislation intended to remedy what is a valid farmers' grievance. The Bill introduced by Mr CHAPLIN, member for Mid-Lincolnshire, establishes the principle that every tenant on quitting his holding shall be compensated by law, custom, or agreement, the compensa- tion under no circumstances to be less than that which the tenant would receive under the Agricultural Holdings Act, if the land- lord had not contracted himself out of it. But probably for local reasons Mr CIIAPLIST introduced a clause into his Bill providing a method of compensation in conformity with the customs prevailing in Lincolnshire. The Bill thus provides that if the laud- lord has contracted himself out of the Agri- I cultural Holdings Act, and if the tenant has not secured to himself the amount of com- pensation which the Act would havo given him, then the Act is to come in force, or the Lincolnshire custom. The Bill is thus not actually, but only indirectly, compulsory, but still one that will be operative in all cases. In some parts of England customs and agreements exist which it is not neces- sary or expedient to interfere with, hence the modification of the compulsory principle in the Bill. There seems to be a strong con- census of opinion among Chambers or Agri- culture and Farmers' Clubs in favour of the Bill.. Mr CHAPLIN says that "in drawing up his Bill his object throughout has been this—that while taking care that in all cases, and under every circumstance they could imagine, tenant farmers should bo secured for the improvements which they made, and for the capital which they em- barked in the farms, he would not override, where it was wholly unnecessary, existing arrangements which were satisfactory at the present time. His object was to make the Agricultural Holdings Act not so much a compulsory measure, as operative, either directly or indirectly, by means of other measures." This statement was made by Mr CHAPLIN at. a council meeting of the Central Chamber of Agriculture, held on Tuesday last. The Council unanimously passed the resolution:—"That this Council approves the principle of both Agricultural Tenants' Bills (Mr CHAPLIN'S and Sir THOMAS 'ACLAND'S) so far as they secure the tenant's rights to compensation for his unexhausted improvements, but desire to express their preference for the measure of Mr CHAPLIN, as it establishes the principle laid down by the Council that every tenant on quitting his holding should be compensated by law, custom, or agree- ment." The object of Sir THOMAS ACLAND'S Bill is to secure to the tenant compensation for improvements of a temporary nature, such as artificial manures, and the foods purchased for consumption by stock. Clause 5 appears to be the leading principle of the Bill. It reads-" In every contract of tenancy to which this Bill applies there shall be implied (1) an agreement by the landlord to compensate the tenant on the determination of his tenancy for his out- lay in respect of (a) growing crops and acts of husbandry done since the taking of the last crop; and (b) the proper application of pur- chased manure, and the proper consumption by cattle, sheep, or pigs of purchased corn, cake, or other feeding stuff, if-the manure is so applied, or the feeding stuff so consumed, during the last two years of the tenancy; and (2) an agreement by the tenant to keep the farm in a state of clean and good husban- dry." Many county Chambers of Agricul- ture, after consideratiom of, and discussion upon, the principles of both Bills, have passed resolutions in favour of that of Bit CHAPLIN, as being the most simple and direct, but generally advocating the appointment of a Select Committee on both Bills, so that the best points of each may be embodied in one new mea- sure. There is too much reason to fear that no private member is likely to carry a Bill comprehensive enough to settle the whole question. But a Select Committee on tho Bills now before Parliament would suflioe to show what tenant farmers want,and Govern- ment would doubtless then introduce a measure which would be acceptable to them whilst not disregarding the right of landlords. There can be no question that until perfect security is given to farmers for the money they invest, farming will not yield a profitable return, because the most is not made of the land by judicious outlay 01; manures and other improvements. Other measures now before Parliament having grelit interest for farmers are the Corn Returns Bills, one of which, that of Col. BARNE, was down for second reading on Wednesday last, but which was blocked by Irish obstruction on the Peace Preservation Bill. The system of calculating corn averages is felt to be an unfair one to the farmers, by which the amount of tithes to be paid ia assessed at a considerable per-centage more than ought to be the case. For instance, for the purpose of tithe average, the price of corn last year was fixed at 48s per quarter, whilst the price obtained in many instances was as much as 25 per cent below that figure. That it is high time some fair and equitable means of ascertaining the average price of corn were agreed upon and legalised by Parliamentary enactment, is plain, when the amount paid annually in tithes in Eng- land and Wales is considered. The Report of the Tithe Commissioners for the yeai 1880, issued on Friday last, shows that over four millions of money have been paid to tithe-owners in commutation of rent-charges. Neither of the Bills on the subject now before Parliament seem to be generally acceptable to Chambers of Agriculture aud other bodies looking after farmers' interests. The appointment of a Select Committee on the subject would apparently meet the wishes of tithe-payers, and the farmers may rely upon Mr GLADSTONE S Government doing something for thom in this direction.

LONDON, THURSDAY NIGHT. The rHunotir current yesterday, and still talked of to-day, according to which Mr Glad.^ tone is to leirtl fiom the Chancellorship of tite Exe ietitier, has its ionneuiale rise from the impression that the Premier has not got out of his recent accident as well as was imagined. That Mr Gladstone did not propose permanently to hold dual office has been well understood from the first. But beyond this fact and the concurrence of the acaideut there is no foundation for the rek ort. I think it quiLt possible that this will be the last yenr the country will enjoy the advantage of Mr Gladstone's supreme genius iu charge of its fikivaices. But unless his health suddenly breaks down, he certainly will brinu; in one more Budget. I I have personal knowledge that as far back aa the election campaign in Midlothian, this was out of his most ardent desires. For six years the Conservatives had muddled away the money of the people, leaving the finances in constantiy in- creasing tangle. To show that this was due vo.i- tively to bad mauagement, and to follow up a borrowing and almost bankrupt budget, with one baaed on principles of integrity, was at thiB time looked forward to by Mr Gladsas one of the
