A Sure Cure EP"tbl for Rickets. t Look out that your own neglect does not cause deformity. ===============================================: -1 QIJEENIE HENLY. (Frem a Wood Street, Calne, Wiltshire, November 8th, 1899. OentteBftsft.^I beg to testify to tho excellence of your Scott'a Emulsion for rickets. When our little girl was six months old her shoulders appeared to be deformed. We had the doctor's advice about it, and he said it was rickets, and advised us to give her Scott's Emulsion, which we did, and have given it to her for twelve months. We cannot speak too highly of it to all who have rickety children, as our little girl is now as strong and healthy as any child could be, thanks to Scott's Emulsion. I also advised my sister to try it for her baby, who was suffering from eczema during teething, and after using Scott's Emulsion for two months the child began to get better, and is now quite well and healthy. '#. (Signed) BESSIE HENLY. The reason the doctor attested Scott's Emulsion in the foregoing ca.se was, un- doubtedly, because he knew it to be the best combination of cod-liver oil, hypo phosphites of lime and soda, and glycerine. Rickets is a form of malnutrition. The system is not able to supply the demands of the growing body, and it naturally follows that growth will be defective. Cod-lirer oil has long been a nutrient of the highest value. The hypophosphites of lime and loda. are recognised by all physicians as of great aid to the system in conjunction with eod-liver oil. Glycerine prevents fermentation and facilitates the absorption of the oil. The eombina.tion of these standard remedial agents, therefore, in the form of Scott's Emulsion offers the best possible means for overcoming the wasting tendencies of the sys- tem. The formula by which Scott's Emul- sion is made has the highest endorsement of <be medical profession, and in no other form will you find cod-liver oil either eo palatable or so easy on the organs of digestion. No other form of cod-liver oil is like Scott's Emulsion, or compares favourably with it. If you want to produce the best results possible from taking cod-liver oil you should by all means insist upon purchasing only the genuine Scott's Emulsion, containing our trade mark. Everybody who tries Scott's Emulsion is convinced of its superiority. You oan obtain a sample of Scott's Emulsion by send- ing threepence to cover postage to Scott and Bowne (Jjimitea), 95, Great Saffron-hill, London, E.C., and mentioning the name of this paper.

FOOTBALL IN THE NORTH.
FOOTBALL IN THE NORTH. The fancy appears to be looking up just new, and I hear excellent accounts of the interest being taken in*shows throughout the district. I ain not mentioning this to ,encoura;ge the Cardiff and District Terriers' Society, for their success has been so pro- nonnoed so far that they need no encourage- ment. Apart from all that, however, the "fancy" appears really to be looking up. At Aberaurn there was a capitii-I little show on Thursday, and Mr. George Rosser called in to tell me how delighted he was with the show. In St. Bernards Mr. Lawson won first and second with "Jadith Inman" and "Mayor of Swansea." "Judith Inman" is a capital name for a St. Bernard, I should say, for' Dr. Inman has probably bred more St. Bernards than any present day fancier. In smooth collies that rare good bitch Hoy lake Peggy added one more win to her already long list, and speow for best collie in show. Mr. Williams, Newport, won a couple of firsts with a very nice Seottie, also the novice SPOciial. In "poms" Mrs. Thomas, of Port Talbot, as asoal, carried everything before her with that grand little black dog of hers. In the variety class Mr. H. Bees was second with his bobtail-a much improved dog, and probably the beat of his variety in Wales to-day. Friend Pugih, as usual, had a strong team of wire- hairs. which captured a fair share of the prises. Mr. Clyde Lewis won in both the dog and bitch smooth clabees. In bitches he attached first with that grand little bitch "Olaudette," who, it will be remembered, won at the Crystal Palace the other day. Mr. Harry Gunn only realised expectations in making a big scoop with his team of Eglish setters. With "Ramney Ranger" he took two firsts and special for the best dog or bitch in the show; a second was captured by "Rumtoey Prince." and later Mr. Gunn secured the special for the best team in the show. I hear, by the way, that Mr. Gunn has said the setter, "Rwmney Rack," that he has been doing so much winning with lately, the amount, I believe, being close on three figures. Even had three figures been realised he would not be dear, for he is a rattling good dog. By all accounts, these two ardent fishermen, •Mr. J. Manders and Mr. A. Sheiley, are having at times up at Sennybridge, and catching any amount of fish. The "old 'un," as "Albert" terms him, is. from what I hear, making him a perfect white slave—ao much &0, indeed, that he actually made "Albert" go in the water the other day to land a 14-pounder for him. It's all very well telling us these tales about 14-ponnders. but we should be more inclined to credit them if they would send one down to put on view. I am more than pleased-to bear that the St. Peter's Football Club is about to be re-orga- nised. This is as it should be, for there was really no reason why the team should have gone to j>ieces as it did. Some said it was through a proper committee not being formed, and others that the captain did not attend the meetings. How far that is true I. know not, but it is really a shame that a club which last year carried off the district league should go to smash all at once. We can ill afford to lo-se a -Rugby club in Cardiff when Association is rising -so rapidly, and the Saints' supporters mast make an effort to bring a. team together at once. A correspondent, whom I generally find to be correct, sa7a that it was a pity Harry Beere. of Mountain Ash. was left out of the county team in favour of Luke or one of the others. Harry is of the Jack Evans (Swinton) style, and, if selected, would have been the tallest, and, probably, the heaviest and one of the cleverest men of the two sides. Championship Glove Contests, 3899-1900," is the title of a very interesting little book issued by the Licensed Victuallers' Gazette Limited. To all sportsmen interested in the noble art it should be of particular interest, for it forms a trustworthy history of all the principal meetings during the periods above- mentioned. An account of the Sharkey and' Jefferies fight opens the book, and then follows an account, exceedingly well written, of fights in which Jabez White, Harry Green- field', Kid M'Coy, Peter R-alier, Terry M'Govern, George Dixon, Will Cailey. Na.t Smith, Ware, Plimmer, Burge, Scales, Mat Precious, &c., had been engaged, concluding with the last show of the season between Pedlar Palmer and Harry Ware. A number of portraits are included, and, with the book printed on good paper, its modest price of 6d. ought to ensure a. very large sale. I I beg to acknowledge, too, the receipt of the South Wales Football League handbook for the current season. There is an excellent pic- ture of Mr. Sandford as a frontispiece, whilst a brief account is given of the good work Mr. Sandford has done for local football. Rules and fixtures of the league, names and addresses of secretaries, captains, &c., are included, whilst the work concludes with a little bit of prophecy, as it were, by giving the names of the "intend- ing" members of the league. However, it is a very useful little book, and will, doubtless, be in the hands of and appreciated by all South Wales "Soccer" men. The Leeds clab, according to the "Sporting Chronicle," have made an important capture, for two members of the Yorkshire Rugby Union County Team, A. Ross* of Skipton, and H. Horner, of Harrogate, have thrown in their lot with the olub. The two men accompanied the Yorkshire Union team on tour in the West so late as last week-end. The better known of the two forwards is Ross, who was thought to stand a good chance for the North and English cap this year. He has obtained an assistant sanita-ry inspectorship under the Leeds Corporation, and will play with the Leeds club. WFLSH ATHLETE. f ——

EVENING EXPRESS" NEW SERIES. The Martyr of Cardiff. [BY "PROTESTANT."] (COMPLETE.) Up to the time of King Henry VIII. the people of Wales, though nominally subject to the English crown, had been allowed in a great measure to retain their own institutions, laws, and religion, such as they were, without any serious attempt being made to force English institutions on them. But in the reign of this monarch, A.D. 1536, Wales was incorpora.ted with England and subjected to English laws. This was an importaint change, for by it the English system of government and religion was introduced in its entirety into the country, a.nd the inhabitants com- menced to take a deeper interest in the social and religious questions then agitating the minds of the people of other countries. The results were beneficial in many respects, as a complete system of government, under the direct control of the English Crown, was substi- tuted for a weak, imperfect system, depending in large measure upon the will of the great landowners in the different districts, who had in reality been the chief rulers of the country, and who were generally not over-religious or law-abiding themselves. But looked upon in another light the change bad an unfortunate effect, for it introduced the religious dissen- sions which often disturbed the peace of the English people into Wales. This was plainly seen in the reign of Mary. She was a thorough Catholic, and the wife of one of the most bigoted of Catholios, Philip of Spain. It was not long, then, before Papal supremacy over the English Church, which had been abolished by Henry WTO. was re-established. Then came that reign of terror which has ricbly earned for this Queen the title of "The Bloody Mary." As in England her bigoted attach- ment to Catholicism, and, consequent intole- rance of anything savouring of dissent from the Romish Church, had brought many a noble martyr to the stake, so Wales, although up to that time she had taken but an unimportant part in the religious disturbances which often took place in England, was now destined to yield up the lives of three of her sons as a sacrifice upon the altar of Protestantism and truth. It should make the people of Cardiff proud to remember that. out of these three men whom Wales produced who were unwilling to submit their religious convictions to the caprice of the reigning sovereign, one was found in Cardiff who dared to assert that the individual conscience should determine each man's belief, and who was ready to lay down his life rather than desert his principles. Cardiff was then a small town of some 1.500 inhabitants, wEo were chiefly engaged in a seafaring life, making their living by fishing. The neighbourhood was also a favourite resort of smugglers, the chronicles of the period giv- ing evidence of the notoriety of Cardiff as a centre of the smuggling operations which were then carried on in many parts of the country. There lived in the town at this time a fisher- man named Rawlins White. He was a poor man, earning a precarious livelihood by means of his fishing boat and net on the waters of the Bristol Channel. The wild sea life had har- dened him to danger, as his calling had often brought him face to face with death when tho waves ran high and the storm beat fiercely about his tiny craft. With such surroundings as these he had developed into one of those stalwart andhai-dy sailors for which Britain is justly famed. Riding the billows, with his life in his hands, in pursuit of his occupation, he had acquired that freedom of spirit, that independence of character, which seems to be the natural heritage of those who spend their hves upon the wave. He had no one to rely on in his daily work but himself, and his manly spirit exulted in the fact thaI;, although often exposed to great danger, he was, by the strength of his arms and his skill in using the net, getting an honest livelihood for himself and his family at home. This sturdy spirit of self-reliance wboh characterised him in his daily struggle for the means of subsistence was also brought into play when be had to decide how he should worship his God. He wae aojus- timed to depend upon himself to overcome the dangers which he encountered on the sea, and he felt disinclined to surrender his freedom of thought and action when he had to decide has religious beliefs. It was God, not the priest, who preserved him on the sea, and no one should now come between him and God's revealed word. The standard of duty there laid out he was prepared to follow out as well as he was able, but at the command of no fellow mortal would he accept doctrines of tradition or superstition which he could not find there. He had a clear head and an honest heart, and, therefore, did not feel bound to accept the interpretation, or mis-interpreta- tion, of the gospels as set forth by the Romish Church. At this juncture his fearlessness of purpose was plainly manifested. Having decided by careful study that the Catholic doc- trines contained mnch that was not according to the Word of God; he did not, like a craven, feel content that he should understand his own religious duty and leave those around him blindly groping in sacerdotal superstition. Like a true freeman, he resolved that, come what would, those with whom he came in con- tact should not be bound by the chains of priestcraft if he could strike a blow that would help to make them free. So he stated his convictions to his friends, not. in a spirit of bravado, but in genuine piety, notwithstanding the harrowing tales that reached the town of the sufferings of those who held similar opinions in England. He knew the perils he was likely to encounter, but this could not deter his brave spirit from standing up for the truth. He felt that the God Who had preserved his life in the tempests at sea would not fail him in any trials he might have to encounter when standing up for the right. As might be expected, his conduct did not long escape the keen eyes of the Romish priest in Cardiff. He had noticed that White did not attend the rites and ceremonies of the Church ae he ought, and it was not long before he found out that the strange rumours about the new views held by this pious fisherman we true. Having definitely ascertained that he had forsaken the Church of Rome and adopted the doctrines of the Protestant Faith, he hastily sent to inform the Bishop of Llandaff of the heretic living in his diocese. The bishop was greatly annoyed at hearing this, although he did not take strict measures immediately, hoping that this man would soon tire of his new doctrine, and relying on the effect of pertnlasio to bring him back to the fold. He was doomed to disappointment, for White's convictions were too deep to be des- troyed by the lapse of time. As the weeks passed by, therefore, and he still stuck to hia convictions, notwithstanding every argument and inducement that could be brought to bear upon him to get him to return to the Catholic faith, the incensed bishop, whose name waa Dr. Kitchin. ordered the officers of the town to seize him and imprison him as a heretic. This was accordingly done, and White was confined in the castle, where he was kept in custody for twelve months, the bishop, doubtless, thinking that the prison discipline would do what per- suasion had failed to do in inducing him speedily to recent. But White's opinions were the result of careful study and had been formed after mature thought, not on the spur of the moment; and his dogged nature refused to

allow him to sacrifice his conscience to his personal safety whatever happened to him. So this expedient of the bishop was futile, for, instead of White being repentant while in gaol, his prison life seemed to make him more than ever determined to stand by his prineipfes. kt the end of the twelve months, therefore, Dr. Kitchin, seeing that the only effect of this kind of punishment was to make White more steadfast, determined to take summary pro- ceedings with this obstinate heretic, and sum- moued him to Chepstow, where he resided. Here, again, every art was used in order to induce him to recant But it was not likely that this would have any effect on a man whom twelve months' imprisonment could not subdue. Threats and' promises were alter- nately tried, but all was of no avail. White stood firm as a. rock. His old sea life had taught him to endure worse storms than this. Having now no alternative, the bishop resolved to try him as a heretic. This was, indeed, the irony of fate. Rawlins could with more justice have tried the bishop, whose weather-cook Christianity was then earn- ing for him an unenviable notoriety. From an idle abbot in the reign of Henry VHI. he had been made a bishop in the reign of Mary, thus acknowledging the sovereign to be Supreme Head of the English Church in one reign and the Pope in another. To complete the tale, in the reign of Elizabeth, in order to retain his bishopric, he became a Protestant, until at last he was a standing joke in the country, people saying that "He loved the 'Kitchin' better than he loved the Church." So this beautiful bishop, a true "Vicar of Bray," was the judge of an honest man like White. Having tried him, Dr. Kitchin pronounced him to be an irreclaimable heretic, and sentenced him to death at the stake. He then ordered the officers to take him back to Cardiff, and to put him in the town prison, called Cockmarel, or Cock's Tower, until he should be brought to execution. This Cockmarel, according to the chronicles of the time, was "a very dark, loath- some, and most vile prison." White was kept here for three weeks. At the end of this period the officers of the town, perhaps afraid that the bishop might allow him to remain there for a period equal in duration to his former prison life, and being eager to free themselves from the trouble of caring for this prisoner for another long term of imprison- ment, determined to take the law into their own hands and to execute him on the strength of the bishop's sentence. They were about to carry out their inten- tion, when the Recorder of Cardiff, whose name was Henry Lewis, went to them and showed them that if they burnt their prisoner without obtaining a writ of "de heretico Comburendo" (the statute for the burning of a heretic), passed in the reign of Henry IV., A.D. 1401, they would expose themselves to an action by the wife of Rawlins White to answer a charge of having illegally buined one of the Queen's subjects. Being afraid to perform an action vl-ich was likely to bring down heavy punish- ment on thcir heads, they sent to London with all speed for the writ above referred to. This they soon received, for the authorities in Lon- don were kept alive to their duties by Gardiner and Bonner, the persecuting bishops, who were never better pleased than when sending some- one to the stake. As soon as they received the writ, the officers in Cardiff set about making pieparations for the execution, and bade White prepare for death. This good man was not discouraged when he heard of his approaching doom, although he had, during his imprisonment of thirteen months, been subjected to much persecution and bodily inconvenience, and had been placed in sach a loathsome prison, for he still held firmly to his convictions, and was rather delighted than otherwise that he was so soon to be far from the tormenting crowd of his persecutors in the land "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." To those who visited him during his last days in prison he behaved with extreme fortitude and cheerfulness, insomuch that all were astonished that the thought of death had so little terror for him, seeing he was as seemingly cheerful now as he had ever been. It was the early training he had gone through that had in a great measure enabled him to bear up so bravely under the storm that was gathering about him. He that had faced death fearlessly when dragging his net through the waters of the channel was not going to face death by fire any the less boldly because he had now no chance of escape. He had battled with the waves of the sea long enough to learn how to stand firmly against the waves of temptation to recant now that his life was at stake. He gave proof of his manly spirit by meeting in calmness the storm that was not to recede until his life had been swallowed up by its fury. He determined that he would v,it patiently now until his enemies came to bear him away to execution, and would then show them that one who knew the way to suffer imprisonment for righteousness' sake without repining knew also how to die for the truth. The date of his death had been fixed for March 30, 1555. When the fatal day arrived it did not find him unprepared to meet it, but happy that the period of his suffering was lOW to end in the glory of receiving the martyr's crown. It was a cold day at the end of March. H5s executioners were ready. The stake to which he was to be bound had been fixed firmly in the ground. The chains had been forged that were to fasten this noble martyr to the stake. A quantity of wood, straw, and dry reed had been stored in a convenient place, and everything wa.s in order for the mournful .spectacle. The news of the execution had been published far and wide by the priests, who wished to get aa many people as possible together, in order to witness the event, that they might be so filled with awe at the sight of the awful tor- ments of the dying man that any amongst them who had a tendency to hold similar opinions might receive a check. On the day of the execution, therefore, the people flocked in from the district for miles around. Sights of cruelty did not shock them then Ao much as they do now. Education was hardly in its infancy..So we can scarcely wonder at tbe morbid tastes which prompted even high-born ladies and gentlemen to make up "parties of pleasure" to go and visit asylums, to witness floggings, or to see a victim executed. Accord- ingly, the streets were crowded with sightseers of both sexes, each eager to get a glimpse" of the last agonies of the victim, so soon to yield up his life to the cause of Protestantism. The hour of doom drew near. The excite- ment of the waiting crowds grew, until at last the fatal moment arrived. The gaoler opened the cell, and the prisoner was brought forth to the place of execution. Even at this hour his fortitude did not desert him. He walked forward boldly, not needing any aaeista-nce when going to the stake to show how a brave man could die for the truth. Indeed, if we are to believe the records of the time—and there is no reason to doubt them in this case, —ho was more cheerful than any of the throng that had assembled to witness his death. He walked joyfully forward, and set his back close up to the stake, waiting for the work of execu- tion to begin. While he was standing thus, not being at all downcast at the thought of his speedy doom, be saw the smith coming a-long with a great chain of iron to bind him fast to the stake. So far from having a depressing effect upon him, thig seemed to raise hi-s spirits mightily, for lie lifted up his hands in an ecstacy of joy, crying with a loud voice, and giving God thanks that he was accounted worthy to die for the truth. The people were astonished that he should feel so joyful with the prospect of death before him, so that they were likely to be attracted to the faith that he possessed rather than to avoid it, as the priests had hoped, when they saw what great comfort it could give him in the hour of death. The smith, having come up to him, cast the chain about him, White offering no resistance the while. and as he was fastening the chain on the other side he eaid to him, "I pray you, good friend, knock in the chain fast, for it may be that the flesh will strive mightily, but God of thy great mercy give me strength and patience to abide the extremity." After the smith hid finished making him fast to the stake, the officers began to pile up the wood round about him, together with some straw and dry reed to aesist it to burn; a.nd to the astonishment of all the beholders White himself assisted them as much as he was able for the chains, as he stretched forth his hands continually at far so he could reach to get some straw, and then put it in such places as would help him to be the more quickly despatched. He did this with such a cheerful countenance that the sightseers marvelled. Indeed, had he not been chained to the stake, it would have been hard to believe that he was the person to suffer. The fuel having now been placed round him to a sufficient height, the pile was ready to be t on fire. But first, to make the scene, if possible, more solemn and impressive, and to show the dire results of apostacy from Rome, a little inter- val was allowed to elapse, during which a priest stepped forward, and began unfolding to the assembled crowd the doctrines of his own faith. He then bitterly attacked the faith of White, trying to show that such a one as he was could have no hope oT salvation, which the people wondered at, ,seeing him so cheerful. But he was so certain of salvation himself that the people could not but believe, seeing his cheerful trust in God. th&t there must be some- thing more in his belief than the priest had said. The priest having end. his harangue, the command to continue the proceedings was given. One of the officers assembled there stepped quickly forward,, and set firs to the pile. As soon as the fire begau to burn pretty strongly. White cried, "Oh. Lord, receive my soul; oh, Lord, receive my spirit." and con- tinued to do fco when the fire was enveloping him, so that when lie was bid from the crowd by the fire and smoke, the people still heard bis voice crying out the same thing until he was able to call no longer. The fire had now ignited the whole pile, and the body of this just man was soon consumed. Thus died a brave man for the testimony of the truth, and his noble deed has lived, while the names of his persecutor* hi ve ceased to be remembered. Wales to-day is a country of Protestants, but we should n?ver allow ourselves to forget the price at which our freedom was bought. We owe our privileges to men like Rawlins White, who have dared to die in defence of tltosii principles which we now hold so dear. Let us. then, perpetuate their memory, so that coming gfnera-tions may know that their liberties are the results of the actions of White and his fellow martyrs, who died for conscience' sake daring the Marian persecutions.

RESULTS IN SOUTH WALES. Aftermath of Parlia- mentary Elections. UNIONISTS ROlITIED AT CARDIFF, BUT SlTCCFiS'SFUL AT NEWPORT. Wili the Party at Cardiff Learn Its Lesson P In the following returns of the municipal elections an asterisk denotes an old mem- ber — Cardiff. UNIONISTS T/OSKTWO SEATS. There were contests in six out of the ten wards in Cardiff. In the result the Unionists lost two ,atR-on- to the Radicals and one to an Independent. Here are the figures:- ADAMSDOWN. *Fraiik Fox R 612 F. G. L. Davies, drapsr U 520 Majority 92 CANTON. John Norman, coachbuilder R 988 W. B. Francis, solicitor TJ 796 Majority 192 PARK. *J. W. Courtis, stockbroker U 1,375 Samuel Bennett, merchant R 1,362 Majority 73 RIVERSIDE. *W. T. Symonds, shipowner. 'U 1,067 G. H. Davies, merchant. R 371 Majority 696 SOUTH. S. O. Williams, lie'd. vict Ind. 435 *W. H. Tucker, contractor U 429 Majority 6 SPLOTT. *John C-happell, coal trimmer. R 989 George Heywood, builder, &c. U 649 Majority. 340 v Chief features of the elections are that Canton, once solidly Radical, but since 1895 solidly Unionist, has given one out of its three seats to a Radical; while the South Ward, which was solidly Unionist from 1889 till last year, when Mr. Frank Beavan won a sejft, for the Radicals, has now turned out Mr. W. H. Tucker and given the eeat to an Inde- pendent. The Souib Ward is now represented by a Unionist, a Radical, and an Indepen- dent, so that all tastes can be gratified. Per- haps the toughest contest was the one in the Park Ward, and the figures indicate the hard work done on both sides. Mr. Courtis, how- ever, retained his seat, though with a reduced majority, but in face of the combination of forces arrayed against him the victory is a notable one. Mr. Symonds' majority in River- side is the record for a municipal contest in Cardiff, eclipsing Mr. Illtyd Thomas's 511 in Canton last year. Mr. S. O. Williams's majo- rity of 6 is not by any means the smallest, for Mr. Chappell got in last tim-e by a majority of I-lie often appealed this time to have it at least doubled—and in 1890 and 1891 res- peotively the majorities in the Central Ward were 2 and 3; Alderman Ramsdale's last suc- cess also wa,s a narrow squeak of 3 in Roath; while in 1891 Sir Thomas Morel scraped in, for the South Ward with a margin of one-over Mr. A. Recs. The popularity of Mr. J. W. Courtis's victory in the Park Ward was altogether out of pro- portion to the majority of 73 by which he retained the seat. He was opposed by one of the strongest possible candidates the Liberals could place in the field, and it was chiefly through the splendid organisation of the Unionists in the ward that Mr. Samuel Ben- nett was defeated. Immediately it became known in the counting-room that Mr. Courtis had the majority of votes, Mr. Bennett extended his hand to Mr. Courtis, and, grip- ping it heartily, said, "I told you I would be the first to offer my congratulations." On the first count Mr. Courtis was given a majo- rity of over 200. but it was discovered that a mistake had been made, and on the re-count the figures read 73 in favour of Mr. Courtis. The successful candidate was escorted by a large crowd to the Park Conservative Club, where congratulatory speeches were delivered. Mr. Fox had a turn at the Cardiff Trades Council when addressing the gathering outside the Adamsdown Schools after the poll was declared. He was returned, he said, notwith- standing all that the Cardiff Trades Council had done, which, after all, was but very little. A little ha'penny rag published in New-street had maligned him, but the electors of the ward had shown their confidence in him. That publication was run by a coterie of men ivho posed as public writers, but they had not yet mastered the rudimentary elements of English grammar. [The Tesnlt8 of the Cardiff elections, announced in our late editions last night, were not unexpected. "Cocksuredneas"

lost the Unionist* the seats in the South and at Canton. The virus of the disease showed itself in the South in the small poll which the Unionists thought fit to put on tho record. The managers of the part,y in that ward were emphatically warned a week ago that the seat was in perily; but, apparently, they were content to rest upon their oars, and so it is snatched from their hand. "Cocksuivedness" in Canton showed itself, before the election, in the selection of a candidate who—without any disrespect to his personal, social, or political qualifi- catiidns-may be described as practically unknown, careless of whom the opposition might be able to put forward; while, during the contest, this same overcon- fidence was displayed in the slack work of the members of the Canton Conservative Club. This is the most charitable view which can be taken of the notorious indif- ference which the club members dis- played in the matter of the suc- cess or failure of their chairman at the polls. The Uaionists of Cardiff are supping deep of the bitterness of defeat. Naturally the influence of the local Parlia- mentary contest told against them at the municipal poMs, as the Newport result told in favour of the party in that town. But the untoward influences which are dogging. the Unionists of Cardiff lie deeper than the mere aftermath of the general election, and unless there is an application of the knife at the root of the disease the party will go from bad to worse. One element of comfort is derivable from the issue of yes- terday's contests, and that is the incontro- vertible fact that the Cardiff Trades' Council is a negligable quantity. That body did its very utmost, by fair means and by foul, against Mr. Conrtis in the Park, and Mr. Fox at Adamsdown, and— failed. It opposed Mr. Symonds in River- side, and its protege was handsomely beaten, by a majority more than twice as great as that secured by the secretary of the trades' council, against another un- known man, in Radical Splott. Future municipal and Parliamentary candi- dates Will be able to appraise the Cardiff Trades' Council at its trae value.-Ed. "E. E."] Swansea. HUGE MAJORITY FOR MR. DAVID DAVIES. There were six contests at Swansea, and sortie of them were of unusual interest. The fights were in the Landore, Castle, Alexandra, Brymnelin, Morriston, a.nd St. John's Wards. The chief contest of interest was that in the Landore Ward, where Mr. David Davies, editor of the "Daily Post," who came out as a reformer in public business at Swansea, was bitterly opposed by Mr. Hughes, who had the energetic support of such old and influential members of the council as Messrs. R. Martin, M. Tutton, Thomas 'Freeman, &c. Another interesting fight, in which an alleged libel was evoked on the sitting member, was that in. the Brynmelin Ward, where Mr. Hopkin's position was assailed for the third time by Mr. Griff. Davies, wVso a past member of the council. In the Morriston Ward Mr. D. Owen. Mr. LI. Thomas, chemist, and Mr. Howell Lewis, of the Dockers' Union, were fighting a triangular duel for the seat. The same thing occurred in the St. John's Ward. where Mr. Skidmore's seat was challenged by Mr. Charles Bell and Mr. W. Morris (Labour candidate). In the other wards no meetings had been held, I except by Mr. lies in the Alexandra. The results were declared in the various ward-s about half-past nine, as follows: — LANDORE WARD. David Davies 1.2 J. Hughes 547 Majority 739 ST. JOHN'S WARD. W. Morris (Labour) 81S .,T. RkidÍnore 66,1; G. Bell 65 MORRI8TON WARD. H. Lewis (Labour) 8?5 David Owen 625 Ll. Thomas 117 ALEXANDRA WARD.

Gregory 72 Majority 229 The victory of Mr. Davies at Landore was most conclusive and significant. The Labour party put in three new mwmbers. The demonstration in honour of Mr. Davies's victory was remarkable for its size and vehemence. Many thousands escorted him to t-he Daily Post office, and he had to address the crowd at frequent intervals. The crush- ing majority scored, despite the fact that all the foroes of the opposition were gathered into this one ward, is regarded as the death-knell of the old regime in the council, especially as tho Labour party, which supported Mr. Davies in Landore, won three seats in the other wards. Newport. CONSERVATIVE GAI A SEAT. Four out of the five wards were contested. At Maindee there was no contest, the retiring members, Messrs. W. J. Lloyd (U.) and A. E. Parfltt (R.) being returned unopposed. Polling opened at eight o'clock on the new register, and, with one exception, at the same polling stations as had been used at the recent Par- liamentary election, the exception being an extra station at Durham-road Schools in the Ea3t Ward. Rain fell heavily from an early hour, and there were very few incidents out of the ordinary. The results were all declared at night from the Town-hall, as follows:- CENTRAL WARD. u- •T.
