C., London, 4 n CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS in a physiological meaning is even of more importance to the individual than what is implied by the same expression when used in a. national or political sense. To remove illness and deranged conditions of the bodi)y organs is of supreme importance. To regain, establish and maintain the health is certainly the first duty every cjtizen owes to himself and to society.. In this connection it is as- serted with "confidence, based on the experi- ence of three generations, that Beecham's PiUs are quite invaluable for keeping the genera! health up to the mark. No family, no person of cither sex, ought to be without a box always available, because they fozttfy the constitution against the inroad of disease. The complex nature of modem life CALLS FOR energy, judgment, strength, confidence. These qualities can never be eBBciently exercised by those who are distressed by a number of often neglected ailments which sa.p the vital powers and enervate the system. Indigestion, biliousness, constipation, feeble appetite, ner- vousness, poorness of blood, and disorders of a like nature, if allowed to continue uncured, will end in totally unfitting the suSerer for the work demanded of bim. It should never be forgotten that Beecham's PiDs are a certain remedy for troubles arising from digestive dis- turbances and the grave evils that follow in their wake. Do not, therefore, neglect the symptoms you know so well. and from which, perhaps, you may have long softered. Get to the bottom of the trouble and eradicate it by t&king PILIJS.

ABERDARE COUNTY COURT.
ABERDARE COUNTY COURT. At Aberdare County Court on Tuesday,before Judge Bryn Roberts, Charles Davies, fruiterer, Aberaman, sued William Shapland, fruiterer. of the same place, for €2 2s 6d. the value of six cratefula of broccoli and the value of th empties. The defence was that Mr Shaptand had bought the broccoli from one.Albert Jones, who owed money to Mr Shapland, and that the transaction was settled in contra, account. Judgment was given for the plaintin for the amount claimed. Judge's Advice to Widow. Mr A. T. James (Messrs Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas and James, Pontypridd) applied to his Honour, on behalf of Jane Rowlands, for the payment out of Court of JE261 19s, paid into Court by the Poweil DuSryn Company on the dearth of her husband. The applicant gave evidence showing that she was the sote depen- dent, and his Honour, in granting her the full amount, told her to be very careful of the money. Once that was finished she would have nothing. He added, Do not lend it, whatever you do. Have the benent of it your- self. Place it in the Post Omce Savings Bank, and if any of your friends want to borrow it, and oSer to give you 5 per cent. interest, do not lend it to them." The applicant promised to act on his advice. A B&nkrupt's Book Debts. Mr Isaac B. Barnet, of Bargoed, sued John Morgan for £3 Is 9d. The debt was originally due to one Amelia Fine, of Aberdare, who in 1908 became a bankrupt. A few months pre- vious to that the plamtin', her son-in-law, had bought the book debts, including the debt in question, from her, and produced the assign- ment. Mr Ormiston appeared for the defendant and also for the OiScial Receiver, who claimed the debts as due to him as the trustee in bank- ruptcy of Mrs Amelia Fine. The attesting wit- ness to the assignment deed was not present, and his Honour said he must attend. In cross- examination the plaintiS admitted that he had not given notice of the assignment to the de- fendant until after the bankruptcy of Mrs Fine. His Honour held that this was fatal. As no notice of the assignment was given to the defendant until after the date of the bank- ruptcy, the debts had become vested in the OfEcial Receiver as the trustee of the bank- rupt's estate, and moat be paid to him, and not to the present plaintiff. Judgment was therefore given for the defendant, with costs. Three or four other cases were similarly dealt with, nonsuit with costs being entered.
MERTHYR RE6!STRARSH!P.
MERTHYR RE6!STRARSH!P. Judge Bryn Roberts has appointed Mr Henry Percival Williams, of Rhyl, North Wales, to be registrar of the Merthyr County Court in suc- cession to the late Col. D. Rees Lewis. There were several applicants for the post. The salary is £1..300 a year. Mr Williams is a solicitor practising at Rhyl, and is 37 years of age. He is a son of the late Mr W. R. Williams, solicitor, who practised at Rhyl for 35 year's. He is a nephew of Judge Bryn Roberts, and a cousin of Sir Owen Roberts, ex-High Sheriff of Carnarvonshire. He was educated at Colethouse, Rhyl, and Christ College, Brecon, and was admitted a solicitor in 1897. He was for some years a member of Rhyl Council. In goliing circles Mr Williams is well-known, and as a member of the Rhyl Golf Ctub he made the acquaint- ance of many South Wales golfers during the Welsh Union meeting at Rhyl this year. In the hunting &eld he is a keen sportsman, and has regularly followed the Flint and Denbigh Hounds, and at the last steeplechases rode the winner in one of the races. Mr Williams is also a supporter of the Eisteddfod. and when the National Eisteddfod was held at Rhyl in 1904 he was the assistant hon. secretary of the Finance Committee. A correspondent writes :—It is no exaggera- tion to say that the news of the appointment caused nmch surprise in Merthyr, as it was fully expected that one of three well-known solicitors in the town, who were among the applicants—Mr D. W. Jones, Mr F. S. Simons, and Mr F. P. Chariœwould have been ap- pointed to the post. They are gentlemen of much experience, and have a large County Court practice. Naturauy there are murmurs that the judge should have gone to North Wales for a registrar when there are in the Merthyr County Court district a number of gentlemen eminently fitted for the post. The new Registrar comes of a prominent Liberal family, but is & staunch Churchman, and for some years ban acted as hon. secretary for the St. Asaph diocesan societies in Rhyl. He has taken a great interest in public affairs, and for aome time was a member
THE BOOR !N EXCEL8!8.
THE BOOR !N EXCEL8!8. An anecdote is told in Country Life which would seem to support the view of those critics of English institutions who speak of our boorish manners as compared with those of foreign nations. H.G.H. writes :—A friend of mine was dnving in a motor with ?wo ladies and two children, returning from Brighton. Passing a cart, the cha-uSeur drove too near the side of the ditch, which gave way, being soft with the recent raics, and let down the two wheels on one side of the car into the ditch. There was no danger, but the car stuck fast. They went to a neighbouring large inn, where they found two yoong farmers drinking for. their subsequent conduct, however, it does not seem that either of these two agrtenM-urists had the more or less decent excuse of being in the least drunk. The occupants of the car asked them to come and give assistance in try- ing to drag it out. Both declined. One satd that he would not because he didn't hold with these motors the other, that he would not unless he was given a sovereign 6rst." It is probable that the spirit which prompted this refusal—it was 5 o'clock in the evening, dark, and here were ladies and children in a stuck-fast car unable to get home—is what some admirers would call one of sturdy British independence. Lamentably Bcitish it is in- deed. It so happens that the owner ot the car is a man of worM-wide renown as a great tra-veUer. His observation to me on the affair was that there was no other country in the wortd in which such a request would have been met with such an answer. The story has really some qualities as a human document.
CAUSE OF A TRAMP'S DEATH.
CAUSE OF A TRAMP'S DEATH. An inquest was heH on Tuesday at the Pontypndd Workhouse by Mr D. Rees touch- ing the death of William Baker (40), a tramp, who died at the Workhouse InQnnary from bums received last week in the cabin at the pithead of the Glamorgan Colliery, Uwynypia, where he had gone to rest for the night in com- pany with a fellow-wanderer. Evidence was given by Redvers Green, fore- man tipper at the Glamorgan CoHienes, to the eCect that the two men were under the influ- ence of drink on the night in question, and they had given him a lot of trouble in refusing to leave thecouiery premises. He had requested them to leave the cabin, but they only threat- ened him, and then he resorted to the trick of throwing tram oil down the chimney to frighten them out. The companion of deceased ran out, and in doing so knocked a piece of brattice-ctoth, which was hanging at the door- way, into the Sre Baker, stupefied by drink, failed to and the door, and witness rushed into the cabin and pulled him out. He w<ts burnt severely about the bead and hands. The jury returned a verdictof Death by misadventure," adding a rider to the effect that the man Green was deserving of severe censure. Calling tureen before him, the Coroner totd him that be had narrowly escaped being sent for trial on a charge of manslaughter, and he trusted that his experience womd be a warning to him for the future.
ALLEGED BUStMESS FRAUDS.
ALLEGED BUStMESS FRAUDS. The trial of Horace Graham, otherwise Ebenezer Burt, aged 37, a restactrant keeper, on charges of obtaining money by fatse pre- tences, was continued at the Central Criminal Court.on Tuesday,before the Common Sftjeant. It was alleged that, after advertising for part- ners and assistants in restaurant and confec- tionery businesses at Brtxton Hill amd West- minster Bndge-road, the defendant obtained money from the applicants by means of false representations as to the trade done. The defendant, giving evidence, denied mak- ing any false representations and produced books and accounts to rebut the evidence of the prosecution. In cross-examination, he admitted that he became bankrupt in 1902 and was still undischarged. He took the name of Graham when he entered the restaurant busi- ness, because it was a new line for him, but one reason was that he could not get sufEcient credit in his own name. He was pre- viously in the motor trade and had since been concerned in the promotion of a typewriting school, and an aviation bureau," and aladies* aerial club. The trial was again adjourned.

ELECTtONEERtNG ACCtDENTS. Cardiff Lady Thrown Through Motor-car Screen. A 36 h.p. Daimler motor-car, lent by Mr Charles C. Williams, The Heath, to assist the supporters of Alderman Lewis Morgan to get to the poll, came to grief when turning from Lochaber-street into Ninian-road, Cardiff, on Tuesday. It collided with a tramcar with such violence that the front part of the motor was completely smashed, and a lady named Miss Williams, who was riding in the car, was thrown through the glass screen. The lady sustained such severe cuts about the face that several stitches had to be put in by Dr. S. Wallace. The chauffeur and the other occupants of the car were not seriously hurt. Misa Williams was taken home, and the car waa towed to Messrs Parson's garage in Albany-road. Sir S. T. Evans's Car to the Rescue. A serious accident, which might easily have proved fatal, happened on the road between Tondu and Maesteg on Tuesday afternoon. A motor car, bearing the election card of the Conservative candidate for South Glamorgan, was on its way to Maesteg, and had in it two persons, apparently father and son. The car came into violent collision with a dray, and the occupants of the car were thrown out, the elder occupant being to all appearance seri- ously injured. Sir S. T. Evans and Lady Evans were coming down from Maesteg to Tondu, making a tour of the con- stituency. aJJd witnessed the collision. Sir Samuel and Lady Evans immediately rendered assistance and took the injured man and his son to Tondu. Sir Samuel oSered to lend his car to convey the injured man to Bridgend, where he wanted to go, and waited at Tondu for the car to return to take him and Lady Evans up to the Crat'w and Ogmore Valleys.

KtNG'8 EQUERRY SUED. JURY STOP CASE AND F)NB FOR DEFENDANT. The hearing was continued on Tuesday in the King's Bench Divison of the action in which Colonel Holford, Equerry to the King, was sned by Mr Thomas Pearse, a Worcester farmer, for damages for alleged fraudulent misrepresentation and breach of warranty in connection with the letting to plaintiff of Groves Farm, in the Isle of Sheppey. The allegations were denied. Plaintiff's case waa that Mr Warren, Captain Holford's local agent, made false representa- tions to plaintiS respecting the land, omitting to state that in dry seasons, consequent upon the aea having overflowed land in 1897," the ditches became full of brackish water, which poisoned the animals grazing on the land. In twelve months, it was stated, he lost JE1,400, and was mined and unable to pay his rent. Mr Marshall Hall, K.C., for the defence, said the plainti3 had every opportunity of inspect- ing the farm before he took possession, and Mr Warren told him exactly the true state of affairs, and it was childish for plainttS to say that he was given to understand that the land was as good as land in Somersetshire. The jury eventually interposed, and said they had heard enough evidence, and they would find for defendant. His Lordship You arc right, gentlemen there was certainly no fraud and no warranty. There will be judgment for the defendant. His Lordship also gave judgment for defend- ant on his counter-claim for balance of rent.
LABOUR KN!GHT'9 NEW DUTIES.
LABOUR KN!GHT'9 NEW DUTIES. Presiding at a, meeting of the Cardiff Distress Committee on Tuesday ,the Lord Mayor (Coun- cillor J. ChappeII) referred to the fact that Sir Wm. Crossman was retiring from the chairman- ship, consequent upon his new appointment under the Labour Exchange, and said they all regretted the necessity of having to appoint a successor, because whoever followed Sir William as chairman of that committee would nnd it duBcult to devote an equal amount of time and abihty to the work. They all hoped that Sir William would nnd hia new duties as congenial as the old—at any rate, he would be doing something for his own class, and perhaps he would still be able to work in conjunction with the Distress Committee. Aid. Trounce thought it would be fttting that the Lord Mayor should succeed Sir William Crosaman as chairman of that committee, and he proposed that. Mr L. Uewelyn seconded and the resolution was unanimously carried. An unusual application was made to the committee by a Ca.tha.ys woman. She asked for assistance to enable herself and her three chil- dren to return to America. It was pointed out that the committee had no power to do this, only to assist people to emigrate to our Colo- nies but it was decided to ascertain definitely their legal position in the matter. The Town Clerk of CardiN on Tuesday receiver an offScial communication from Sir Wm. Crossman resigning his seat as a membar of the OardiC Corporation.
RESCUE WORK.
RESCUE WORK. Cardiff 8a!vation Army Efforts. The February number of the Deliverer," the organ of the Salvation Ariny's social work amongst women, devotes the whole of its pages to the work done in poHce courts and prisons at home and abroad. The work in Cardiff is referred to in the following terms :— For some 16 years the.omcers of our Cardiff home have worked in co-operation with the police authorities, and since the probation system tvas introduced this additional responsi- bility has been shomldered by the cooarade sot apart to attend the police court daily, visit Hie police cells, meet discharged prisoners, and once a week enter the Cardiff Prison itself. Staff-Captain Swain, the warden of Cbarles- st.Met home, tells us that amongst her present family are several who have come to her as a result of this work, while others thus received in earlier years are now in service doing well. Figures for the past three months show that in that time 129 homes have been visited, and 95 people assisted, either by gi fts of food or to get employment, while several who had fallen through alcohol have been helped to give up the drink, and thus to gain freedom from many accompanying evils. It is found by Captain Foot, our probation amd police court omcer for Cardiff, that a sadly large proportion of those handed to her by the authorities owe the beginnings of their trouble to strong drink, and many of them, alas, are quite young girls, too frequently the children of drinking parents, who have had neither training nor protection in their loveless homes.
A N!6HTMARE OF PA!N.
A N!6HTMARE OF PA!N. Lady Constance Lytton. who, as Jane Warton," recently underwent a term of im- prisonment in connection with a suffragist dis- turbance, has written a long statement giving an account of her prison experiences. In the course of it she eays :—" In spite of the Qrst hand accounts I had heard of this process (forcible feeding), the reality surpassed all that I had anticipated. It waa a living nightmare of pain, horror, and revolting degradation. The sensation is of being strangled—suKoeated by the thrust down of the large rubber tube, which arouses 6rea.t irritation in the throat and nausea in the stomach. The anguish and eSbrt of retching while the tube is forcibly pressed back into the stomach and the natural wrtth- ings of the body restrained defy description. There is also a feeBng of complete helplessness. as of an animal a trap, when the operators come into one's cdl and set to work. I think while I live I shall not forget the sensation with which I watched the changes of lights and listened to the sounds that foretold the return of the visitors to my ceD. Except in the way of clenching my teeth, I oSered no resistance, and after the fourth or nfth time I succumbed to the pain of being forced by the steel gag and opened my jaws with a very brief protest."

REGIMENTAL AFE RtFLED. On the orderly room of the ls<; Leinater Regiment at the Raglan Barracks, Devonport, beint opened on Tuesday morning it was found that the regimental safe had been opened and Ð50 stolen. It is believed that the key, which was in the custody of the adjutant, was stolen and afterwards replaced. I transpires, says a later telegram, that the sum stolen from the safe ts be- tween jEMO and £.700 in gold and stiver. Two watches, two overcoats, amd two sui ta of civilian clothes were stolen from the omcers' quarters. The robbery was evi- dently carried ont in the nightand cobstdefBble care and skill must have been exercised by the thieves, as the building in which the safe is kept is guarded by sentries.

It would be the duty of this bureau to supervise, correct and possibly to prevent the publication of alarmist articles.—Beuter.
---------CARDtFF GtANT HOAX.
CARDtFF GtANT HOAX. How Scientists Were Tricked. Dr. Cork's reported discovery 'of the North Pole and the acceptance of the fact" by the Eing of Denmark and the University of Copenhagen, now takes i<a place with the cele- bratpd hoaxes of history. Amongst them may be recalled the CardiS Giant Hoax." George Hull, a tobacconist, of Binghamton, New York, and the Rev. John Turk, of Ackley. became mvolved in an argument over the existence of giants in prehistoric times. Mr Turk maintained ( strongly that they existed. Mi HuM determined to make his a laughing stock, by inducing him to declare a block of stone to be a gigantic human fossil. Hull spent two years preparing his hoax. He procured a slab of stone thirteen feet long, four feet in width and twenty-two inches thick. From this a giant form was carved in such a way as to arousa a scientific dispute over the question, whether it was a fossil or a prehis- toric sculpture. Hull pricked it with pores to make it look like worm holes, rubbed it down with sand till some of the features were almost obliterated, bathed it in sulphuric acid. and gave it a course of treatment that produced the appearance of great age. The giant was shipped to CardiS. and buried on the farm of a relative of Hull. named Newell. In October, 1869. it was discovered by men who were digging a well. Archaeologists generally accepted it as a relic of prehistoric times. One clergyman even ventured the opinion that it was the identical pillar of salt into which Lot's unhappy wife was changed. It was publicly exhibited and accepted as genuine by the )ead- ing men of science. It was some years before the imposture was finally detected amd it became known that the giant was carved from gypsum.
TOWN AND COUNTRY GIRLS.
TOWN AND COUNTRY GIRLS. For a long time the town girl has had a very large share of popularity, oShe is more versed in artful artlcssnessaod in "pretty little wttys" than the rustic maiden. More alert in- tellectually she is, too. The atmosphere of London is conducive to the sharpening of wits. Her thinking may not penetrate very far, but it serves to give her a certain vivacity and power of ready repartee which make her a bright and attractive conversationalist. But she has the defects of her qualities. "The London girl thinks of nothing but powdering her nose, and supping at the Savoy," said a gilded youth the other day and there are symptoms that there is a reaction in favour of the more simple and sincere Arcadian damsel. We are getting a little tired of artinciality, and posing, andtediousmanaerisms. Sincerity, after all, is a surpassing virtue. Its presence atones for many deficiencies; its absence can- not be altogether compensated for by charm of manner. Naturalness is also a refreshing and invigorating quality, beside which artificial and conscious charm suddenly becomes cheap and vulgar.—" The Gentlewoman."
LLANELLY'S zE236,000 LOAN.
LLANELLY'S zE236,000 LOAN. Mr H. W. Spowart, clerk to the LlaneUy Harbour Trust, and Mr John Rees. harbour superintendent, are at present in London, consulting counsel on an agreement between the Llanelly Harbour Trust and the Bank of England in respect of the harbour loam. It will be recalled that negotiations last autumn fell through because the parties were advised that it was not probable that Parliament would grant the unlimited rate security upon which a generous oSer by the Bank had been made. As the result of a report from the harbour superin- tendent. certain proposals were made bv the Urban Council and Harbour Trust to the "!Jank. who, however, did not accept them in their entirety, but put forward counter proposals which have been accepted by the town and harbour authorities. The existing loan of JE236.000 is still, we understand, to be re-borrowed at 3 per cent., and the dimculty of the unlimited rate security is to be got over by guaranteeing a fixed sum to cover the interest and sinking fund. It is not improbable that a Rate Bill will be promoted in the ensuing Session of Parliament to carry the proposals into effect.
PARIS PARALYSED BY A PLAY.
PARIS PARALYSED BY A PLAY. Chantecler has perturbed Paris almost as much as the floods. It has caused a general paralysis of social life. Persons have declined invitations to dinner this month for fear that on that particular date should be given the premiere of Chantecler." Hostesses have realised this, to such effect that their little notes have been thus conceived Chore, amic —Will you not come to us, you and your hu?- band, on the Thursday after 'Chanteckr'?" Even marriages have felt the influences of the Roatand play. The nuptial knot has been tied weeks in advance oo as to allow the couple to sit as man and wife in the fauteuils of the Porte St. Martin. Though I have no statistics on the subject, it would not surprise me to leam that certain charming demoiselles have thought of matrhnony Toecsmae oi OtuMitecler (writes the Paris correspondent of the PaJI Mall Gazette.") In France, it is not the custom fop unmarried girls to go to the theatre with their masculine friends and cousins; hence, to obtain a husband is for the "jeuncnl!e"the&rst necessary step to obtain a ticket tor the pre- miere."
CARDtFF RURAL DEANERY. -I
CARDtFF RURAL DEANERY. I The quarterly meeting of the C&rdiS Ruri- decanal Chapter was held on Tuesday evening in the vestry of St. John's Church, Canton. There was a celebration of the Holy Commu- nion, at which the Rev. H. J. Williams, rector of Canton, was celebrant. The Rural Dean, the Rev. Canon Beck, presided, and also read and expounded the portion of Greek Testament. The Rev. G. L. Richardson, vicar of St. An- drew', read an able and interesting paper on Prayer Book revision and the use of the Athanasian Creed. This was followed by an animated discussion, in which severalmera- bers of the Chapter took p&rt. The outcome was the following resolution :—" The members of the Cardiff Rural Deanery, in Chapter assembled, unanimously resolved that it would be most undesirable to revise the Prayef Book, or make any alteration in the use or the Athanasian Creed, under the present circumstances of the relations between Church and State." After the meeting the members were entertained to luncheon by the rector of Canton.

STRtKE OF MEAT EATERS. New York, Tuesday.—The Government prosecution of the Meat Trust for alleged violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law was commenced at Chicago yesterday, when a Federal grand jury began its investigation of of the business methods of the trust. In the coarse of the proceedings it was stated that the National Meat Packing Company, which is owned by Armour, Morris and Swift Com- panies, transacted annually business amount- mg to 600,000,000 dollars, and practically con- trolled the tne&t supply of the country.

The body of William Norton (35), of 65, Kent- street, Cardi3, one of the two men who went out in a small boat near the entrance to the Penarth Subway just before Christmas and never returned, was discovered on Tuesday evening in the drain of the Cardiff Docks. James Guard, of Hohnesdalc-strcet, made the discovery, and immediately communicated with the police'. It will be remembered that the men-John and William Norton, cousina—went to fetch a boat loaded with coal, which was anchored on the mud near the entrance to the Penarth Subway. Later the boat they went out in was found overturned near the Cardiff Railway dredger on the East Mud, and no trace of them could be discovered.

THE GERMAN MEAT MARKET.
THE GERMAN MEAT MARKET. The American Consul-Genera! at Hamburg reports that thf sta.tiati.cs relating to the in- spection or meat in Germany for the nine months ended September 30th: 1909. show a decreased per capita consumption of meat, but a slight increase in the tota! amount consumed. due to the increase in the population. The decrease under the head of pork is particularly striking. These results, attributable to the high range of prices, coutd not have been realised. in a)i probability, but for the various obstacles to the sale of American meat pro- ducts—canned meat. notably, being excluded from the German market. The meat disposed of for consumption, other than horse and dog meat and cattle sfaughtered at the homes of owners, during the nine months ended 30th September. 1908 and 1909. amounted to 1,859,420 tons and 1,870.300 tons, respectively.' Reducing these quantities to per capita figures and making due allowance for the increase in the population, the per capita, con- sumption during the nrst nine months of 190S and 1909 amounted to &t'83 pounds and 64'7 pounds, respectively. The per capita of beef consumption rose from 24'99 pounds during the first nine months of 1908 to 26'29 pounds during the same months in 1909. Vea). also, was con- sumed in larger quantities, the increase being 10 per cent. The whole decrease, therefore. falls under the head of pork meats, which are consumed chiffly by the poorer classes, this decrease being (during the first nine months of the years) from 33'42 pounds per capita in 1908 to 31-44 pounds in 1909.
THE RADNORSHIRE ELECTION.
THE RADNORSHIRE ELECTION. Attegcd tntimidation. The ballot papers and counterfoUs used in the ejection on Wednesday were collected in view of making application for a petition for scru- tiny owing to the narrow majority of 14 se- cured by Me Venables Llewelyn over his oppo- nent. Sir Francis Edwards. The tactics of the Tory party in the campaign warranted this procedure, but our correspondent is given to understand that there will be no scrutiny of the poll unless further evidence is gathered. Apart from this, a case for intimidation is being pro- ceeded with against a well-known landlord, who is alleged to have used undue influence with a Knightpn elector. The landlord is reported to have threatened a tenant with notice to quit his house if he did not vote fop Mr Llewelyn, and the notice waa accepted on this account. In the county there are alleged to have been undue inSueneea amounting to intimidation, but in the turmoil 0'2 of an election campaign it is dMBcult to find tangible evidence.
THE MONEY SPENT ON DRtNK
THE MONEY SPENT ON DRtNK Would Pay the National Debt in Five Years. The Bishotfof Liverpool, speaking at Chester, said that as a nation we spent S160,000,000 a year in strong drink. In five years that would pay the National Debt. If the whole of the money spent on the drink trade were used for other purposes, we should not be qua.rraUing about Protection and Free Trade. It would give a mighty impetus to home trade, which waa the backbone of English commerce. It would give every working family in the king- dom 6s a week extra to spend and JE15 a year.
