Carnarvon & i§M'aW FKIDAf, JANUARY 19TH. 1894. t t, SOME FLINTSHIRE SPEECHES Two Flintshire public men have been ventilating their ideas during the past few days and their remarks deserve more than a passing note. Mr SAMUEL SMITH, the member for the county, has been explaining to the miners what he really meant by some observations at the Jerusalem Chamber conference. There was nothiag very extraordinary in those views, so far as we can make out, though probably they might have been more carefully ex- pressed. In these days, if a Liberal member ventures to say that a man, has a right to buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest, or that business cannot continue to be carried on at a loss, he is forthwith pounced upon by a parcel of Tories, who delight to play the sycophant to King Demos, and held up as an enemy of the working-classes. In the long run, it will pay better to adhere to facts and itruths, even though unpleasant in appear- 0 ance, than try to delude ourselves and others with falsehoods about currency, pro- tection, the patriotism of refusing to buy 0 foreign goods, and other chicaneries and humbugs contained in the Tory-Democrat bag o' tricks. Hence it is satisfactory to find that Mr SAMUEL SMITH adheres to the wholesome doctrine that in order to com- pete with the foreigner, we must produce goods equal or better at rates as cheap or cheaper. The real crux of the question come when it is asked what is to be done when the conditions of trade are such as not to per- mit the employers to pay a living wage." Many capitalists in the past have replied in effect, "The men must aecept a sweating wage." The time for the quiet acceptance of this alternative has gone by; and it is a pity. Mr SAMUEL SMITH did not frankly re- cognise the fact and attempt to bring for- ward a more satisfactory solution. Of course, if the disability to eompete with the foreigner be due to temporary and remov- able causes, the whole energy- of the community should be directed to remove such causes. If, on the other hand, the disability be due to permanent causes, there is nothing for it but a transfer of capital and labour to new channels. The period of transition must needs be a very trying one; and in going through it, there is no panacea for the incidental ills but Bear and forbear." Mr SAMUEL SMITH gave a very valuable hint to the working-men as to the true path of improvement. They are far too prone to assume that they as a class are doomed for ever to be mere wage- earners, and that it is the exclusive duty of others to save money and then risk it in industrial enterprises. Try more and more to carry out the principles of co- operation is Mr SMITH'S advice. The coal strike cost six millions. Had that enormous sum been spent in buying up some collieries and in working them on behalf of the workpeople, something would have been done to lift the working-classes permanently out of t,ie difficulties which now surround —f — them. Such utterances must commend themselves to the sound sense of the British working-man and we note with satisfaction that the Flintshire miners are 0 losing no time in resenting the discreditable I tactics of the local Tories. We turn to a speech made the other evening by the Earl of DENBIGH to his tenantry. His lordship handsomely ac- knowledged the prevalence of bad times, and admitted the evils of absentee land- lordism. He also admitted that the remedy was hard to find. So far, so good. His lordship proceeded afterwards, in the most approved style, to denounce agitators and to give utterance to some of the dreary platitudes with which landlords delude themselves. While pitching into the agitators, his lordship did net zn deign to give any specific instances either of their words or deeds; and it is impossible therefore to say with precision what he was driving at. His lordship has a grudge against the Welsh press; and particularly objects to the land-owning class being called a set of vampires." But hard words break no bones and it would be wiser for those who are the subject of vituperation to inquire what amount of provocation has been given before whining about a few wild words. The Earl, we are glad to note, welcomes the appointment of the Welsh Land Commission. When we remember the attitude of Lord SALISBURY at Cardiff, that is a clear gain. His lordship had a good deal to say about land courts and for our part we admit the cogency of much that he said. We have all along contended that Wales needs a purchase scheme rather than a land court. Courts of conciliation instead of strikes, and land courts instead of free contracts, are really not worth dis- cussing in these days. In mining and in agriculture, the reform must go deeper and wider. Co-operation for miners and land purchase for farmers are the cries of the future.

HOLYHEAD AS A MAIL CENTRE. WE have repeatedly directed the attention at the public to the overwhelming claims of Holyhead as a mail station, and we are pleased to observe that its commanding position is recognised by one of the American public who constitute such a large proportion of those crossing the Atlantic. An American," writing in the Times of Friday, says :— I Noticing in the Times of to-day mention of the action of th9 Cork Corporation and of the Queenstown Commissioners on the question of the American mails, ana that a member of the first-named body urged that such pressure should be brought to bear on the Government that they would not dare take the mails from Queenstown," I ask leave, on behalf of Americans who, like myself, frequently cross the Atlantic, and who, if allowed, would do so in the old- established Liverpool liners, to be heard in protest against a continuance of the present arrangements, which requires the delivery and receipt ot the American mails at Queenstown. It is perfectly well known to Americans that that arrangement is maintained by no considera- tions of convenience or economy, but only by the kind of pressure referred to-by a fear that a change (to Holyhead for example) would be proclaimed as another wrong done poor Ireland." It is also well known that if the Liverpool liners called at Holyhead Instead ot Queenstown, the London and North-Western Railway Company would make all necessary arrangements to berth them safely and con- veniently at Holyhead, that the time and expense now involved in conveyance of the mails between Holyhead and Queenstown would be saved, that passengers outward would have a day longer (on the present programme of sailing) in London, be spared the loss of hours lying at Queenstown on that voyage, and on the homeward voyage be in London hours sooner than they are now allowed to be. And it must be perfectly plain that if proper consideration is not given to such weighty reasons for not con- tinuing to stop mail steamers for the United States at Queenstown, preference will be given by passengers hereafter, more and more, to Southampton, at the expense of Liverpool. An American puts the case in a nut- shell. We recently gave the purport of a conversation a correspondent had with Mr KAIKES, the late Postmaster-General, on the subject. The right hon. gentleman said that he had not overlooked the geo- graphical claims of Holyhead as a port for the embarkation of American mails, but no Government would care to encounter the opposition which such an alteration would receive from the Irish representatives. The cry would go out, "Ruin of another Irish industry!" while the scheme would be certain to receive the vigorous antagonism of the members for Liverpool, who were friendly to the port. The right hon. gentleman concluded by saying that all things are not politic which" are possible." Now that Liverpool appreciates the opposi- tion of the Southampton route, and knows that sooner or later there will be a life and death struggle between the two towns for the possession of the mail route, it is pro- bable that the claims of Holyhead would receive more favourable consideration. It stands to demonstration that to remove the mails at Holyhead from the train to the liner at the docks would be more ex- peditious than to put them on board a steamer, take them to Kingstown, transfer them to a train, convey them to Queens- town, and again re-transfer them to a liner. The method has only to be de- scribed to illustrate its utter absurdity. Holyhead Harbour, with the island at its entrance removed, would be one of the safest ports in the United Kingdom. A saving of seve. al hours might be effected to the immense convenience of the thousands of passengers choosing that route. As "An American" very forcibly puts it—" It must be perfectly p plain that if proper consideration is not given to sich weighty reasons for not continuing to stop mail steamers for the United States at Queenstown, preference will be given by passengers hereafter more and more to Southampton at the expense of Liverpool." This is a matter-as we explained some time back—which'should leceive the attention of our members. If the Welsh representatives fought for Holyhead as stubbornly as the Irish fight for Queenstown, something practicable would be accomplished. As it is, the Government is likely to enforce conditions in the new agreement for expe- diting the transit of the mails by land and sea, and the old system will be continued I for another ten or twelve years. Why should Holyhead wait ? SOME very sharp words were exchanged at the last meeting of the Denbigh Asylum Visitors. The chairman for the day ap- pears to have very odd notions of the proper way of keeping order. Presuming the report is correct, he allowed Dr Tumour unrebuked to tell another member to his face that a certain statement made by the latter was false. But when the said member—referring to the curates acting for the vicar in his capacity of chaplain romarked that the same game had been going on before," the chairman asked him to withdraw. After all does it matter very much whether a curate or a vicar reads prayers in the asylum chapel ? A builder may be deemed to have carrie'd out his contract though he may not have done any of the bricklaying with his own hands.

SIR WILLIAM HAECOURT, as we anticipated, I was unable to resist the demand made by the Welsh deputation for a small grant to help ;o start the University of Wales. He took occasion, however, to make a few remarks, the bearing of which lies in the application. He was unable to give any pledge as to an annual grant but his reticence was probably more a matter of red-tape than of real hesitation. For the leaders of the movement, the 1 strictures of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the estimate on which the demand for a grant was founded are matters of more grave concern. it certainly does appear that some or the items are extrava- gant and the allegations in support of them, based on costs of travelling and the functions of external examiners are not convincing. The grant, though perhaps as much as could be expected under the cir- cumstances, is of course quite inadequate, when we remember the need for a liberal system of scholarships and for university extension and we trust that care will be taken not to make a much larger grant unprocurable by an unthrifty use of the present donation.

THE underground quarry commissioners this week held two more sittings at Blaenau Festiniog, when evidence was freely forth- coming on behalf of the men, most of which went to show that a thorough system of inspection was highly necessary for the protection of workmen. Rather remark- able evidence was given by Mr Kellow, of the Park Quarry, which, although technical in the extreme, and only to be properly appreciated by geologists and scientific quarry-workers, will no doubt attract general attention. Mr Kellow suggests to the Festiniog managers a plan of work- ing which, he claims, will, among other things, do away to a great extf Ubp. danger from f, roof, workings.

WALES has every reason to rejoice at the defeat of the so-called Liberal candidate at Horncastle. In a certain cathedral tow 11, people who attend church in the morning and chapel in the evening are called devil- dodgers." Lord Willoughby D'Eresby appears to belong to that persuasion in a theological sense, while Mr Torr repre- sented the political variety of the species. Mr Torr's defeat should convey a whole- some lesson to the party managers. If it imbues them with the conviction that nothing is so likely to succeed as a policy of thorough," the defeat will prove a blessing in disguise. The precise share of L the Welsh members in bringing about the 0 result may be questioned with more or less plausibility but there can be no doubt but that the result itself is most satisfactory to the Disestablishers. I

IF the Rector of Flint really ultered the remarkable sentence", reported in another column on the authority of a contemporary, a mastership of arts does not imply ev< n an elementary acquaintance with theology. ZIY. Calvinism is not Christianity," says the worthy Rector, calmly oblivious of the patent fact that the doctrines of the Church of England are strongly Calvinistic. The Popishness of the liturgy, and the Armin- ianism of the clergy may be more prominent just now than the theological complexion of its creed; but that tbe Thirty Nine Articles are uncompromisingly Calvinistic is a fact known even to babes in divinity. The Rector is reported to have said that Wesleyans look upon Calvinists as pagans. It is scarcely credible that even bigotry could induce a man to utter such a thumper from the pulpit; but if the report be correct, we can easily understand why the Rector should take it upon himself to repeat the episcopal fudge about the Welsh language census. Who so ready as a sinner to condemn sin ?

THE Bishop of St. Asaph has broken out once more upon his favourite subject— the language census of Wales-and in a letter to the Times has endeavoured tcf prove that Welsh is not the language of Wales. In the fight for retaining the endowments that are now enjoyed by the Church of England in Wales, of course everything that tends to lead the public into side issues is considered as grist to the Church mill, but althought his lordship of St. Asaph states that "the results of the language census in Wales and Monmouth- shire are of the very first im- portance in their bearing upon Welsh Disestablishment," we fancy those who are anxious to bring about religious equality in this country will not be influenced to the slightest degree by statistics proving that so many peonle in Wales speak English and so many speak Welsh. The question whether John Jones prefers English to his own mother tongue does not enter into the subject matter of this debate at all, and if it did it would not prove that John Jones prefers an alien Church to his very own, nor would it dis- prove the fact that the Church of England, as far as Wales is concerned, is the Church of the rich, the employer, the landlord, and the publican, the political Church, the Church of the minority. Still, there is something very ludicrous in the anxiety of a Welsh bishop to Anglicise his country- men and to prove that they are as anxious as himself to see their old language die out. In his letter to the Times, he refers to the report of the Committee on Higher Educa- tion in Wales appointed in 1830, and in doing this, by the bye, he cannot resist the temptation to endeavour to tack politics and political intentions to a purely non- political committee. This committee, in their report, stated that Mr Ravenstein, a non-political statistician, showed in 1871 that out of a population of 1,426,514 in Wales and Monmouthshire, no less than 1,006,120 habitually spoke Welsh; and that it had also been stated that of the Nonconformist bodies of Wales; 686,220, or including children under ten years of age, 870,220, used the Welsh language in worship, as against 36,000 who I'o worshipped in English. The bishop does not like these figures, and although they were given in a report of a committee of which Viscount Emlyn, a man after his own heart, was & member, he attempts to give it a left-handed blow by emphasizing the fact that the committee was appointed by Mr Gladstone's Government. But the particular tit-bit, so delicious t:) the bishop this time, is the note under the heading of untrustworthiness of the returns," which is found appended to the general report on the last census. This note states that so desirous do many householders appear to have been to add to the number of monoglot Welshmen that they not only returned themselves as speaking Welsh—that is, Welsh only-but 11 made similar returns as to infants who were only a few months or even only a few days old." The census returns of England are also characterised as untrustworthy, but, of course, that is put down to carelessness, whilst wilful misrepresentation is ascribed in the case of the Welsh returns. The bishop wants to include among his Anglicised Welsh- men all those who have an imperfect smattering of English—learnt parrot-wise during their brief school days. But common sense will show that the vast number of Welsh folk who have only this imperfect knowledge of English ought in reality to be classed among the monoglots, for the English language to them 11 ZD t, is of no practical use in daily life. How would his lordship fare in an argument carried on colloquially in Latin, say with the Jesuit priests, who recently came gallantly to the rescue of certain two boys near St. Asaph ? Would the bishop be able to hold his own for five minutes, although he may have a very good knowledge of a printed Latin book? If yes, St. Asaph's successor is a much better linguist than most Oxonians. If no, should he not be more sparing of his gibes at monoglot Welshmen ?

LOCAL ANI) DISTRICT. Rumour hath it that Mr Bowen Row- lands, M.P., is to be elevated to the judicial bench. The Admiralty and Horse Guards Gazette publishes this weE-k a portrait and bio- graphy of General Rowlands, V.C. and K.C.B. We congratulate the chair bard Gwalch- 0 m-ii- Rev R. Parry, Llandudno -on attain- ing his ninetieth year. The happyeveilt was celebrated last Monday. A tombstone has been placed by public subscription over the grave of the Rev J. Alun Roberts, B.D., at Towyn, Merioneth. A public ceremony is being arranged for in connection with the unveiling. The debt on the Welsh chapel at Trefor, Llanaelhaiarn, has been extinguished. Special services to commemorate the pleas- ing event were conducted by Revs J. Machreth Rees, Penygroes, and D. S. Jones, Chwilog. On Saturday evening the staff and employees of the Nottingham Daily Express and Evening News were hospitably enter- tained to dinner by Mr 1). Edwards, manager of the Express Company. Sir Horatio Lloyd is the subject of an excellent portrait and ga deservedly eulo- gistic biography in the current number of the law Gazette. Mr W. Williams, Hirwain, brother of Alderman T. Williams, Gwaelodygarth, has been appointed to serve on the com- mission of the peace for the county of t-Glamorgan. Mr Gladstone left London for Biarritz on Saturday, accompanied by Mrs Glad- stone, Mrs Drew and her daughter, Mr Armitstead, and Lord Acton. The paity reached their destination on Sunday irorning. Enquirers at Penmaenmawr to-day were informed that his Honour Judge Sir Horatio Lloyd is progressing nicely, and. hopes to be able to resume his duties as judge of county courts in a few days. Tlie:Seren states that Mr Lewis Mo/ris will be the next poet laureate. The paper renders poet laureate teyrnfardd," which sounds clumsy and unintelligible. But perhaps, suggests the Swansea Post, the paper meant twrnefardd, implying that Mr Morris is a barrister as well as a poet.— We (Herald) object to this. Twrne is not Welsh for barrister, but for attorney. The Rev Robert Williams, B.A., has given notice of his intention to resign the pastorate oE the English Presbyterian Church and the Welsh Calvinistic Church (Bethel), Dolgelley. We have reason to believe that Mr Williams is about to secede to the Church of England. The Aher!lstw'lth Observer observes thus- wise :-An inquisitive little girl asked, the other day, whether, in case our neighbour Mr David Jenkins were to get married, he would still be a Bachelor of Music. Miss Norris, of Borth, a young lady of con- siderable musical as well as educational ability, has passed the intermediate exami- nation for the degree of Mus. Bac., and the question may well be asked whether when she has passed the final examination she also will be a Bachelor ? Lord Stanley of Alderley, we presume, never directs his kitchen gardener to di up newly planted potatoes to see how they grow. But his lordship intends to ask the Lord President of the Council. (Lord Spencer) whether he has any objection to state what percentage of Welsh schools have taken up Welsh as a class subject; in how many schools that have earned the excellent merit grant has Welsh been taught; and the percentage of failures amongst Welsh pupil teafchers in English composition. 1" Mr Edward Davies, of Wood Green, London, claims to have solved the problem of utilising the tides of the sea for the purpose of driving machinery. He claims that he can start his turbines at the height of the tide or even at low tide and keep them going without cessation. The initial cost of two 100 horse power engines would be the same as for steam engines of the same power; but in maintenance, there would be a saving of E1200 per annum. Mr Davies perfected his invention by ex- periments on the Cheshire coast. It is once more reported that Mr Stuart Rendel, M.P., the chairman of the Welsh Parliamentary party, and president of the Welsh National Council, will be raised to the peerage at the dissolution of the present Parliament; and that Mr A. C. Humphreys- Owen, of Glan Severn, chairman of the executive committee of the North Wales Libel al Federation, will in all probability be elected as the Liberal candidate for Montgomeryshire at the next general election. The first mentioned rumour is revived at regular intervals, but this is the first time for Mr Humphreys-Owen to bo mentioned as Mr Rendel's successor in the tafo seat of Montgomeryshire.
