SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1881.
SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1881. LOCAL. THE PONTYPRIDD GUARDIANS AND SUNDAY CLOSING. THE Rev. D. E. WILLIAMS, of Fairfield, a clergyman of the Church of England, and a county magistrate, declines to vote on the Sunday Closing question. The subject came before the Pontypridd Board of Guardians, of which he is chairman, at their ordinary meeting on Wednesday, an executive body having written asking the board to adopt a petition in favour of the Sunday Closing Bill for England and Wales. The board did not discuss the matter, but at once divided, and it happened rather curiously that seven voted for the petition, and seven against it. The Chairman said that on the last occasion when the Sunday Closing Bill came before the Board he had refrained from voting, and he must adhere to the same course again. The Rev. Chairman is appa- rently either afraid, or thinks it inexpedient or unwise, to let his opinion on the subject be known, or he has not yet formed an opinion at all. As a clergyman, though not a'.working one, we might fairly presume that the rev. gentleman would go heart and soul for Sunday Closing, did we not know that clergymen do not always practise what they preach. Living in a part of the country where more than 90 per cent of the house- holder have shown themselves in favour of closing public-houses, the Rev. D. E. WIL- LIAMS probably does not care to go against the stream, yet does not like to go with it. There are many people in the world who, like the owner of the ass in the fable, wish to please everybody, but end in pleasing nobody, and lose the good opinion of all men in the bargain. THE RHONDDA RELIEF CASE. WE have now, we may fairly suppose, heard the last of the Rhondda relief case, in which the four sons of an old man in receipt of out-door relief from the Pontypridd Union have been so often before the bench on a maintenance summons. It will be remem- I bered that the Stipendiary has on previous occasions declined to make any order on the sons, for the reason that the father had never been in actual want, the relief given by the guardians having been granted whilst the old man was living with one of his sons. On Monday last the relieving officer again applied for an order of maintenance against four of the five sons, the address of the remaining son not having been ascertained. In reply to the Stipendiary, the relieving officer said he thought an order ought to be made for seven shillings a week; but he was reminded that the relief granted by the guardians had only been four shillings a week, and the bench could not be expected to override the decision of the guardians. Therefore, the bench limited the order to the amount which had been actually thought sufficient by the guardians. In thus deciding we think the Pontypridd magistrates acted wisely. The guardians, in granting four shillings weekly allowance, evidently thought that amount enough why, then, should the relieving officer seek.to compel the sons to pay more ? If the sons or any of them think the amount too little, they can augment it. We would not infer that four shillings a week is enough for the maintenance of an old man of 82, even when accompanied by free lodgings but the guardians having so decided, there remained no other course for the bench than to ratify that decision. THE ANTI-MENDICITY SOCIETY AT MONMOUTH. THE apprehended collapse of the Anti- Mendicity Society at Monmouth,for want of funds to carry on the work, is much to be deplored. It is generally acknowledged that vagrancy is one of the great evils of the day, and its repression—if its suppression be impossible a great desideratum. The establishment and proper carrying out of a well-organised Mendicity Society in any town or county has been found productive of results showing that the repression of vagrancy may be thus attained but the work is a gradual one, and cannot be done in a hurry. We have no knowledge of the rules of the Monmouth Society, nor of its method bf administering relief to tramps, and therefore cannot judge how far its apparent failure is to be attributed to any lack of proper management. We can strongly recommend tho system in use in Dorset, the Mandicity Society in that county being one of the most successful in the country. Before its establishment Dorset was overrun with tramps, now it is seldom that there are a dozen in the county at any one time- But as we have often pointed out, a Mendicity Society will never be successful in putting down vagrancy un- less the co-operation of the police is secured, and a rigid system of granting relief to casuals acted upon, This is the secret of the success of the Dorset system. We trust the friends of the Monmouth Society will not allow it to collapse without a strong effort to keep it up. A MISERLY PAUPER AT MONMOUTH. IT has transpired at Monmouth that an old pauper, in receipt of 5s a week in out-door relief, has been found possessed of no less a sum than 243 10s. It seems that the woman with whom the old man lodged knew that the lodger was possessed of this money, and in some way managed to get hold of it, and then tried to burn it. But gold is not destroyed by being put in the fire, and it subsequently became known that the woman had paid away three sover- eigns on her own account. Her husband was no accomplice in the proceedings, for he went to one of the Guardians and said that the pauper himself was burning it. But the old pauper himself, on being ques- tioned, said that his landlady had burnt it. It appears that the Guardians have been contributing the 5s a week allowed him as relief, and the woman, rather than the Guardians should have it, tried to destroy it by burning it. Mr ADAMS, the Guardian whom the husband informed of this strange transaction, at first got R25 in gold from the woman, all of which had been in the fire, and afterwards with the gentle persuasion which the superinten- dent of the police was able to use, several other sums were extorted from her, and ultimately nearly the whole of the money was recovered. The case was brought before the Guardians on Saturday last, and it was finally decided to hand over the money to I the common fund of the union, [and to use it for the maintenance of the old man. allowing him 5s a week as before. The Guardians have thus gained by the old man's miserly habits. A BOY DRUNKARD AT SWANSEA. IT is a degrading sight to witness a man reel- ing about the street, in imminent danger of falling upon his head or otherwise injuring himself i but the spectacle becomes far more revolting when the drunkard is a boy of ten years of age. It appears that on Saturday night a boy went into a public-house at S wan- sea to sellllewspapers,aud some "gentlemen drinking there gave him beer until he got helplessly drunk. He drank two glasses, and then they gave him some out of tlieir pints. These facts were deposed to on Monday, when the boy was brought before the Stipendiary charged with being drunk. The Stipendiary remarked that he could not imagine anything more thoughtless or unfeeling than to give a child like this a quantity of beer to make him drunk. He advised the lad to sign tlie pledge, and keep from that which would make him a little beast. The boy was then discharged. On Tuesday, the landlord of the public- house where the boy was made drunk, at- tended the court, and it appeared that the boy was kept out of sight of those in charge of the bar whilst the" gentlemen" were plying him with beer. It is well for them- selves that these so-called gentlemen are not known. If they could be detected, they might find that their "lark was an offence against the law, besides being a proceeding which no geutleman would have been guilty of. A FRIENDLY SOCIETY DISSOLVED. THERE IS an increasing tendency at the pre- sent day in young men towards joining the great friendly societies, when contemplating the insurance of sick and funeral pay in the event of illnes3 or death. And thus it happens that the old friendly societies, many of which look for support to the inhabitants of one village, and that probably not by any means a large one, are gradually dying out. In far too many cases the members of these village friendly societies are compelled to wind up their societies for sheer want of funds wherewith to carry them on but in some few instances the members foresee the inevitable end of their club, and wisely anticipate the evil day by voluntary dissolution. The Crickhowell Tradesmen's Friendly Society, held at the Britannia Inn, which has been in existence now for nearly half a century, has, by the mutual consent of the remaining members, been dissolved, and the funds, after paying all claims, divided amongst them, giving about jE13 9s to each member. The heavy strain made upon the funds by the high pay which the club allowed to sick members, and by funeral money, without at the same time receiving any addition to membership, caused the members to come to the decision to dissolve the club. It is 10 years since a new member was enrolled, and the ultimate dissolution of the society was evidently only a question of time. The remaining members, therefore, acted wisely in dissolving whilst the fuuds were sufficient to pay such an amount as JE13 9s per member.
. GENERAL.
GENERAL. TORPEDOS AND TORPEDO BOATS. GERMANY claims the honour of having in- vented gunpowder and discovered the art of printing, although ROGER BACON and the Chinese claim a priority. It may be doubted whether there was much credit due to the discoverer of gunpowder, and whether its evils are overbalanced by the art of printing. When Napoleon Bonaparte wished his surgeon-in-chief in Egypt to poison his sick in order to get rid of them, the surgeon nobly replied, My profession is to cure, not to kill." Any man who invents a method by which human suffering is lessened is entitled to more honour than he who merely multiplies methods by which human beings may be killed. The dreadful accident on board the pin- nace of HER MAJESTY'S ship Monarch, ¡ by which nine men were killed and wounded, may cause monarchs and statesmen to pause I and consider whether the use of torpedos I and torpedo boats ought not to be banished from warfare by international agreement, as too dangerous to the men employed in using them. When they were first invented, there was a proposition made to that effect, but no agreement could be come to among the lead- ing powers. If an arrangement could be arrived at by Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and the United States in the matter, the smaller powers must necessarily submit. No nobler task could be undertaken by Mr GLADSTONE than one by which this terrible agent might be considered as unlawful among the nations, like assassination and other cowardly methods of destroying an enemy. THE CITY CHURCHES. THE rapid decline of population within the City of London proper (that is, within the area in which the LORD MAYOR has jurisdic- tion, which extends as far as where the old citywalJs used to stand), from 122,440 in 1851, to 52,889 in 1881, has led to a consideration of the question whether many of the city churches, which number 61, could not be more usefully transferred to the suburbs, where the population reside. The City of London is becoming more and more devoted to the purposes of business, and the owners live in their country houses several miles away. It has been suggested that at least three-fourths of the churches, which are mostly well endowed, might be pulled down and rebuilt in the suburbs, where their appropriateness would be more appa- rent. The more beautiful churches built by Sir CHRISTOPHER WREN and others might be retained, if only for the historical and other associations connected with them, but their number would not be many. Some of the churches have no history worth preserving, and possess no claim to consider- ation on the score of architectural beauty. The attendance on Sunday is but meagre, and the 6,731 people who went to church on Sunday, May 1st, could very well be accom- modated in 15 of the 61 churches, giving an average of 450 to each. This change has been advocated for years, but the Bishop of LONDON has not moved in the matter except in one or two instances. When the city of London had a largo resident population, the argument in favour of the retention of the churches was of more force, but it is well known that at the present time many of the I porters and housekeepers are unable to leave the premises entrusted to them in order to go to either church or chapel. BANKRUPTCY REFORM. IF we wanted any argument in favour of a Bankruptcy Bill, we might refer to a recent case which was before the Registrar of a County Court, in which, out of £249 assets, the legal charges swallowed up £245. When the trustee's charges were paid, which amounted to JE4 9s 7d, the creditors found they had to pay 9s 7d in order to clear their liabilities This is surely a rotten state of things. The bankruptcy laws appear to have been made for lawyers, and not for creditors. We know that before Lord WESTBURY'S time the official assignees received, in some instances, more than four times as much as the First Commissioner, while the messengers netted from £1,500 to £2,000 a year No bankruptcy I law will be satisfactory that does not aim at securing the largest possible dividend to the creditors, and cutting down to a minimum the legal and other expenses. In a recent case before the LORD CHANCELLOR, he ex- pressed surprise that the legal expenses should have amounted to £240, which, he said, ought to have been covered by a five or ten pound note. The Chambers of CJIII- merce ought to be up and doing, with the object of making Mr CHAMBERLAIN'S Bill, which is far from perfect at present, a mea- sure which will give satisfaction to the merchants and traders of the country. It is well known that many estates would pay from lOa to 15s in the pound if the ex- penses were not so heavy. There is a class of lawyers who make princely fortunes by the law as at present carried out, and the sooner it is altered the better for society in general.
-. FOREIGN.
FOREIGN. THE DISTURBANCES AT MARSEILLES. WHEN the national pride of a nation is touched, it requires but very little to bring about hostilities. The recent expedition to Tunis has been the cause of exciting a bad feeling in Italy against France, as any attempt on Egypt on the part of the latter power would in this country. When the troops were returning from Tunis through Marseilles on the 17th inst., some members of the Italian National Club hissed the soldiers, which led te the tearing down of the Italian escutcheon over the club door, and eventually to several encounters between the Italian and French, by which valuable lives have been lost. We said in this journal at the time the expedition was success- ful, that an apparent success is not always good for a country when it is accom- plished at the expense of other nationa. The V French Republic was successful at Tunis, but there can be no doubt that it has for- feited the friendship of Italy by the l'ecent expedition. Italy may not be a strong power standing alone, but in conjunction with another, such as France, it nniy do good I service in any future war. France .helped to free Italy from Austrian domination, and the two peoples shed their blood on the. fields of Magenta aud Solferino, but all tlla has been forgotten by the recent expedition to Tunis. France may look to Russia fof heip against Germany, but Russia has too I much internal disaffection to combat at present to be able to do much in the way of affording help to France in her desire fo* reve ge against Germany. THE COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH FRANCE. THE division on Mr M motion in the House of Commons will convince France that we are not going to be "bested" (to use an expressive word) in our commercial arrangements with that power. The French people imagine that we are so wedded .to Free Trade that we will allow any power to ride rough-shod over us rather than give up its blessings. Nothing can be further from the truth. We advocate free trade as we do peace—but not at any price. If the new commercial treaty with France falls through, as those who can read between the lines of the speech of Sir CHARLES DILKE will per- ceive is likely to be the case, the loss will be greater to FrancQ than to Great Britain, as we take a larger portion of their goods than they do of ours. We sacrificed" the silk and glove trade when we made the- arrangement in 18G0, and if the commercial treaty be not renewed, those industries will again revive in this country. Better no treaty at all than one in which all the ad, vantages are on the other side. We cannot consent to give France the oyster while we receive only the shell. We are the greatest commercial power in the world, and with our population increasing at a too rapid rate, we cannot afford to give away to foreign powers what we require at home. We wish to maintain the entente cordiale with France, but not at the expense of allowing her to draw out all our teeth. The new treaty ought to be framed on exactly the same lines aa those in which RICHARD COBDEN and the late EMPEROR of the FRENCH drew it out, and no attempt to shut out our low-priced p; cotton goods can be accepted by us. A PLAGUE OF RATS. MOST of us have laughed over BROWNING'S "Pied Piper of Hamelin," in which Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats, brown rats, black rats, grey rats, tawny rats," were charmed by the piper into the river Weser. Bombay has been suffering from a similar infliction. The Government offered a rupee for every hundred caught, and having cut off their tails, the bodies were returned to the trappers, who took them home for food In this way 16 millions were caught. Among the expedients adopted were phosphorus-paste balls, fumigation, asphyxiators, and sulphur squibs, but dig-^ eing up the burrows was found to be the most effectual. The Government, however, found that they were not only paying for the extirpation of Bombay rats, but also for those of the Nizam, as the rats in his dominions were caught and sent into Bom- bay, where they were sold for 12 annas the hundred, thus enabling the Bombay natives to make a profit of sixpence on every hundred If the Government reward had held out long enough, we have no doubt that in a short time all the rats in the world would have found their way to Bombay, and a rat would have become as scarce as Mr BRIGHT'S bird—the dodo. The Bombay rat is 15 inches long, and does not hoard food, while the mettade or mouse teaches the enormous size of nine or 10 inches. The extraordinary fecundity of the rat does not seem to favour Mr DARWIN'S theory of u the survival of the fittest," for, in addition to the 16 millions paid for by the Government, millions were destroyed by the heavy rains and severe frost which fortunately set in to aid the authorities in their warfare against tLe pest.
THE CARDIFF CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION.f
THE CARDIFF CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION. f THE Conservatives of Cardiff have at laSl accomplished their object. At any rate, will not be so unkind as to say they liavl not. They have twice within the last fe" months placarded their town with notices do what they intended doing, and we may now give them credit for at least partial success. They have had what they call a demonstra- tion, but we must be excused for our iii. ability to perceive or comprehenc what they have demonstrated. W. do not so much as know what they meant to demonstrate. Had we been able to ascertain this, we might have strained every effort to see how far they had suc- ceeded. The student who has to pore ovei the propositions in EUCLID'S Geometry starts with a problem to be solved, and as he pro- ceeds from point to point in the argument he sees clearly what he is coming to, until, at last, he has the proud satisfaction of exclaiming Q.E.D., quod trat demonstrandum,—" the very thing which was to be demonstrated." We are, however, not in this happy condi- tion. We have gone to the great Conservative demonstration, and returned, still doubting what it all meant. That it waa a merry feast after its kind, it would be unjust not to own. Everyone seemed im- mensely pleased, highly gratified, in excel- lent health and spirits, and yet we could not divine what in the world they had demon- strated. We returned somewhat in the frame of mind in which they say a distinguished mathematician returned from the theatre. The scenery and the acting were first-rate, but the man of facts and figures could not see what they had proved, and therefore withdrew disgusted. The object of the meeting could not even have been to rejoice over" a famous victory." Victory is about the least likely of all the golden dreams which a Welsh Conservative is likely to conjure up before him. If there is anything to which he may safely append the well-known Q.E.D., it is that there ia no battle to be won by a Conservative on the soil of Wales. Those who enjoy the honour of representing a Welsh constituency do so on sufferance, and they know it. No amount of organisation will secure victory for a Conservative candidate on Welsh soil, unless the Liberals quietly allow him to walk over the course, or rest quietly upon their oars while he is putting forth all his energy. One thing, we may admit, was forcibly enough demonstrated on Wednesday night. The Conservatives of Cardiff seem to enjoy the happy art of exciting hopes which are never to be realised. At one time we were led to believe that several distinguished members of both Houses'' were to come to their demonstration. The great posters announcing this Conservative fact have not even yet been washed completely away by the heavy torrents of rain which have fallen since they were thickly plastered on every hoarding in the town, but the promise has not even yet been fulfilled. The intelligent people of CardiS are not so easily gulled as to mistake the highly-respectable noble lords and honour- able gentlemen who graced the banquet on Wednesday night with their presence for what are called distinguished "members." With all due respect, we cannot allow even flattery to run to such an extreme of madness. When the original placards, however, were discarded, and the names of live lords and bers of Parliament substituted for the previous vague announcement, the epithet "distinguished" was unaccountably dropped. We then knew what to expect. But the stratagem was not to end here. Some prominent statesman must be produced, at least in name, and, accordingly, we were informed, but not on the placard nor in the newspaper adver- tisements, that the Right Honourable W. H. SMITH, First Lord of the Admiralty undei the late Administration, was to be present. Again and again was the assurance repeated, until we are not quite sure but that some of those who read the paragraph in a con- temporary began to be almost persuaded. For ourselves we own that we nevei expected him, and were, therefore, not in the least degree disappointed. A epeeck
