MR. MOND, M.P., AS TARIFF REFORMER. PREACHING ANT) PRACTICE AT CHESHIRE WORKS. AWKWARD POINTS: SWANSEA MEETING. Coun. Campbell, Woolwich, continued his Tariff Reform -campaign on Thursday, and addreeed an opcn-nir meeting at Victoria Park. There was an attendance of fuiiy 500. Coun. Campbell, who said he occupied no coward's platform, dealt with the staple in- dustries of South Wales, showing how ruin- ous Free Trade had been, and the great strides that America had made. The per- centage of unemployment W"db larger in this country than in any protected country in the world. He read an extract from a Liverpool newvptt.per "recalling the fact that when a firm of Widnes alkali manufac- turerers sought to obtain a supply of brine from Cheshire, Messrs. Bninner, Mond and Co. c. pposed the scheme on the ground that; an ancient enactment existed forbidding the exportation of brine from the country until it had been converted into salt. The scheme of the Widnes manufacturers had therefore to be abandoned. But while Sir John Brnnner, M.P., and Mr. Alfred Mond, M.P., sheltered themselves behind an an- tiquated protective eijactment, they preach the doctrine of Free Ti-ade for every in- dustry but their own. Messrs. Brunner, Mono, and Co., having built up their gi- gantic business by a system of restricted markets, monopolies, and close protection between themselves and Cheshire salt pro- prietors, will not hear of the application of Protection to other industries, ever. --i its mildest form, Such is Free Trade consis- tence." Continuing, the speaker &aid that not long ago a gentleman from France wrote over to Mr. Mond for prices for certain goods he manufactured. The reply was that he could not supply, because an ar- rangement had been come to with a Freaioh oom.pa,ny to supply the .same. The speaker went to a meeting in London and asked Ma-. Mond for an explanation, and he replied that when it came to be a question of con- sidering the interest of the 8,000 share- holders of jSI'eaprs. Brunner, Mond, and to I consider the interests of his constituency, he was prepared to allow his constituency's int,ere.st to go. and look after the interest,? j of the 8,000 shareholders. (A voice "Buai- I nese.) Brnnner, Mond, and a third gentle- man held five-eighths of the shares of the j company, and they were looking after their own interests in preference to that of their constituencies. "These," said the speaker, "are facts, and Mr. Mond dare not deny them." In further remarks, Mr. Campbell asked them to consider the proposals of Mr. Chamberlain, and not the man. Mr. Brun- ner had said that if a tax were imposed I we would have all the Germans conning over here; but where did Brunner a-rcl Mond come from? (A voice: "Chester. ") No, I he only got lodgings there. (Laughter.) In conclusion, Mr. Campbell read the opinions of prominent Labour men, who, in effect, advocated TarS Reform. advocated Tarff Reform. A number of questions were fplendidiy I answered.

FATAL HORSEPLAY. SWANSEA LABOURER'S DEATB CORONER AND A WITNESS. The Swansea coroner held all inquest at the Workhouse on Friday on the body ol Thomas Thomas (56), 'aboureo-. No. 2., Wil low-street, who died following on n, blow or the head received from a. fall in the coursf of a quarrel. Margaret Barry, Oreenlwll -street, de ceased s second cousin, said deceased used tr drink a little, and then be became talkative. Bertha Harris, 2, Willow street, said or July 5th doeei'ised came to the 1 odgi ng- hou: and had a discussion with a. Yorkshire mar named Lank. The latter caught clp^ensec by the legs and tipped him over, deceased s head striking the floor. Thomas had hac some drink and-took his ooat off, striking thE other man first. The witness's answers were contradictory: and at the conclusion t-he coroner character- ised Mrs. Harm's evidence as unsatisfac- tory. Liuga Rae, an Italian, the lodging-house keepe, said the last witness was the deputy at th • 'ise. He characterised the previous witne.. Mrs. Harris) as heing "half-boozed." The Coroner said that was just about it, and he advised Ra to get a man to look after the house in future, Rae said deceased told him he waa a bit ooozed at the time. Mrs. Haa*ris on the day in question was not drupk. but had been drinking. Lank told witness Thomas had been "bothering", with him. Dr. Cb-ildes Evans said deceased did not complain against anyone and seem-ed to fC- gard the incident on the 5th inst. as horse- play. The cause cf death, was a fractured base of the skull. The Coroner characterised the, affair as a drunken brawl, and said no one oould con- vict anyone on the unreliable evidence of Mrs. Harris. The jury returned a verdict that deceased died from a fractured sku)il, leaving _the man- ner of his detiih open. The Coroner advised Rae at the Hose of the inquest to get a man in charge of the houae otherwise be would proba.bly lose his license. The jury concurred. The Coroner said the evidence was not fiuf- ficient to hang a dog upon. The expenses of Mrs. Harris were disal- lowed.

SWANSEA - STREET SCENE.
SWANSEA STREET SCENE. WOUNDED SEAMAN TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. OCCURRENCE AT A LODGING HOUSE. Considerable excitement prevailed ir. Ca.st!e-square, Swansea, on Friday afternoon by the sight of a seaman rushing through the streets to a pair of policemen bleeding profusely from a cut in the head. He made certain allegations, and he was taken to a neighbouring establishment and the wound wi. -ashed, he being eventually taken to the hospital in the motor ambu lance. The most sensational reports were in cir- culation, where-as all that had occurred was ^n altercation between the man—Alt. Harrdlson, a Swedish seaman—and the pro- prietor of Woods' boarding-house in St. Mary-street. Blows were exchanged and the foreigner fell against a table, with the result mentioned. Harrdlson was overdue ')n his ship, the 1' (iothard, and Mr. Woods states that he had been vainly en- ieavouring to induce the man to go aboard ill the morning. He (Mr. Woods) M*as asked to go to the Central Police Station, but on explaining: ihe circumstances was not- detained. Harrdison's cut was attended to at the infrpitai, but he was not kept there.

J [RELIGIOUS TEACHING IN TRAIN|…
[RELIGIOUS TEACHING IN TRAIN- ING COLLEGES. MR. RUNCIMAN WITHDRAWS A REGULATION. SWANSEA AS A CASE IN POINT. Speaking in the House of Commorw on Thursday night, Mr. Runciman (President of the Board of Education) announced, amid j cheers, the withdrawal of the regulation con- cerning religions teaching in training col- legs. He staled that he "ventured on an experiment this year which has not met with support either in this Hou,ce or outside— (cheers)—except from a very small number of people. I must say I think it necessary that something should h2.se been done and ought still to be done in the direction I have outlined, even although it has not met with genera! approval. We provided in our regu- lations for Bible instruction heing given in training colleges, including two set." of col- leges—-denominational colleges and unde- nominational training colleges. Something like it is already given in the denominational colleges. In the undenominational collages, I would like to point out that Fan-era 1 of them do give simple Bible instruction, and they have always done so. I am not reiving only on the one example of Boroough-road, probably the best-known training college in the country, and Stoclcwell, which is more or less associated with .it, but I might quote the looai authority training oolleges of Swansea. S\VANSEA, WITH ALL ITS FAULTS, has included this subject in the curriculum of its students, and London University even, in the Goldsmiths' College, the largest train- jing college in the country, has deliberately 'adopted tltis experimen t during the last ffw yearn. The new local authority colleges 2nd, the University day colleges, however, do not give tuition in the teaching of this subject, | My own personal new is well known. I he- iieve that if CowpeT-Temple duties are to bo undprtaken by the teachers they can be bet- ter undertaken if the teachers are prepared 4p for them. (Hear, hear.) I believe that1 whatever is worth teaching at all is worth teaching well. But the strong dislike which has been expressed of this. regulation is, I believe, not to the tuition itself, but to its being forced on the local authorities. (Cheers.) Secondly, I say it frankly that many of my own political friends whose j 'views in the main I share heartily dis-ike this regulation. (Cheere.) I think they are, unnecessarily nervous. (Laughter.) But. I wish to avoid adding to the area of religions |controversy. (Cheers.) The attention given to this small ma.tter, for it is reaUy a minor matter compared with the very wide, expen- sive, and valuable reforms of the laist few years, is an example of the ease with which a religious row can swallow up every other subject. These practical difficulties, small as they may be, are magnified by sentimental anxiety I have therefore decided now to put the regulations into operation. (Loud cheers.) The rebgjou* controversy is dor- mant, but it is still dominant, and the dual system is still the source of ail our ednca- tional disorganisation, ince».nr.t friction, ex- pense, and jealoirv. (C11f3ers.) I do not know when we shall pass out of this unfortu- nate atmosphere. I make no prophecy as to the future. There is only cue way out of it, and that is the way which leads to ab- solute religious equality—(cheers)—and which frees tha sta-te from all denominational responsibility." (Renewed cheers,) Sir \Vm. Anson pointed out he did not wish Mr. Runciman to think that, aithoueh they fully recognised the more conciliatory character of the administration of his de- partment, they had nothing to complain of. There were still cases of oppression in Wales and the West Riding in which the Board. had not used it> powers to insist on the observance of the law, and until thai was done they would not be satisfied. SWANSEA WANTED LOCAL AUTONOMY. Six Brvnmor Jones replied that very fe- vers strictures had been made by Sir V: Ai.won upon the administration of the Edu- cation Act by the Welsh education au- thorities. Whatever animadversions might be made upon the policy of these authorities in t-heiir tr- atment of Voluntary -hooks, thev had so guided their actions that the efficiency ox there schools had not been materially damaged. (Cries of "Oh.") He wa.s glarl that the President had withdrawn: the training college regulations in regard to religious instruction. Personally he saw no objection to the governing body of a train ing college seeing that r,orne kind of in- struct-ion was given to qualify the teacher, but there was all the difference between be- ing allowed to give that- instruction in their own way a-nd being compelled to give it. WThat- was objectionable was the regulation's mandatory character. The local authority in Swansea, and. he believed, all the other) tocal authorities in Wales, wished to have j as much autonomy as possible in regard to the system of public education. The ob- ject of the £ >e regulations would be befit 00- taine/1 in Wales by allowing the Welsh edu- cation authorities freedom of auction. He suggested, that the question of training tea- chers in Wales shond come undor the Weish Department, and not as at present devolve) upon the Board in London.

It is errtremelv annoying that insertions of this kind should be put in as "news," when as a matter of j fact the actual r«iport of -v.hat took p'ac-.j is incorrect, and Mr. Rsc,s Llewellyn's justifica- tion of the action taken by the Sanitary Committee -is, as a statement of fact, quite untrue.

ARE ALL GENTILES CHRISTIANS?
ARE ALL GENTILES CHRISTIANS? CORRESPONDENI WHO DOESN'T THINK SO. Christian (Swansea) writes The first part oi Rev. H. J. Sandheim's sermon is good teaching to the Jewish community, but I am afraid Air. Sandiieim is making a rrreat mistake by classing the general run of our Gentile race as (Ihmtians. Although we are commonly called Christians by the majority, I may say they a--> not Christ- ians—far from tt. It is an entirely c.rong term to call the Gentile rae? Christians. The word Ghnavian, strictly speaking, is Christ's Onp or a Follower of Christ," and 1 Hn1 sure there are hundreds of thou- sands who are by no means followers of Christ. According to Mr. Sandheim, an atheist or an infidel is a Christian. Cer- tainly net. The Church may be try- ing to convert the Jews, and it is un- doubtedly a good work, for Christ and all the disciples did the same, and I think Mr. Sandheim has no right to say Christians do not set an example to the Jews. It is the aim of all Christians to follow their Master and set an example of his won- derful Gospel to both Jew and Gentile alike. J Air. Sandheim asks tor an explanation of the Christianity of the Czar of Russia, What, a question to ask. Who knows the Cv:fir is a Christian? He is a Gentile, but, OF J have said, that does not signify he in .1 Christian. t,. I It is a Christian's duty to love his en- I omies, and I am sure God wil! give a true believer the grace to do all these things. Speaking of Sabbath observance, I think the Gentile, apart from the Christian, ran. set an example to the Jewish community. ■ There are hundreds of Jewish people win j work on their Sabbath.

Mr. Timothy, H.M.I., said he had taken statements from 3? girls. By Mr. Andrews: It was a mourning or- der in respect cf the funeral of the iate High Sheriff, Mr. Walter Ruse Evans, and had to be sent off by Friday. The g'.ris told him they were to have another clay's holiday. They did not complain of any- thing liKe sweating. Everyuung possible was done for the comfort a.nd convenience of the employes. Air. Andrews ffiiid his clients were the victims of circumstances. There was no option for them—it could not be prevented. Unfortunately, it was the death of one whose loss we al- much regretted. The or- der was only received lato on Wednesday night, and the funerai was fixed for Satur- day. It was a physical impossibility to get the work done in the ordinairy time. As to the magnitude of the order, he men- tioned that four porters had to be sent up on Friday night, last thing, with t.he order, because it had to be there by Satur- day morning. Certainly there had been- no desire to take advantage of tlhe staff, who all had a holiday later. There was no de- sire to impose on them at all. He thought Messrs Ben Evans and Co. were too well- known for anyone to suppose that. They had been in business many years, and this was the first time anything had been brought against them. He asked for a nominal penalty, even if they oould not be treated under the First Offenders' Act. Chairman said they would be dealt with in the same way fM the last case—a fine of 10s. inclusive would be imposed. Air. Andrews We djdn't work right through the night as they did.
