POLITICAL NOTES. SPECIALLY CONTRIBUTED. NOTHING could be wiser or more timely than Mr. Bryce's admirable statement of the truth about the Irish problem. During the past two vears Irish JMr. Bryce on members have held lan- Home Rule. guage about Britain and the war well calculated to wound and to exasperate our feelings. Lord Rosebery spoke at Chesterfield as if this were a new thing. It is no new thing. As Mr. Bryce said at Aberdeen, "The moral to be drawn from the regrettable language of the Irish members is that we still have in Ireland a people not recon- ciled to Britain, not sharing our senti- ments—not a strength but a weakness. We are not done with the Irish ques- tion. We shall not get rid of it by trying to forget it or ignore it. It doga us like a shadow; sooner or later we must solve it, if we are to remove one of the nearest dangers that threaten the Empire. People say that the Home Rule schemes of 1886 and 1893 are gone. So they are. But the main principles by which we sought to make Ireland a loyal and contented member of the United Kingdom remain, and I trust no Liberal will re- pudiate them." This is the language of wisdom and patriotism. What men have to do when a whole nation persists in acting and thinking as if it had no part in the British Empire is not to surrender themselves to childish impatience or barren schemes of revenge, but to set themselves to make it possible for Irishmen to recon- cile devotion to the Empire with pride in their own country. If Canada accepts her place in the Empire with loyalty and enthusiasm, the reason is that the British Empire, instead of sti fling her aspirations, gives them free play. If Ireland regards herself as outside the Empire, the reason is that the Irishman thinks he has to choose between his obligations to Ireland and those to the Empire at large. It is the task of British statesmanship to get rid of that conflict of sentiment. As a matter Of fact, the Irish question was never more alive than it is to-day. The Parliamentary party is stronger than it has been since Mr. The Irish Parnell's fall. It is com- Agitation. pact, tenacious, powerfully led, and it possesse*- some of the ablest debaters and one of the ablest Parliamentarians in the House of Commons. For the purposes of an immediate agitation on a question of practical reform it com- mands the services of Mr. T. W. Russell, who is a great orator, and who was the stoutest prop of the Unionist scheme and fabric in Ireland. Mr. Russell tells us he has found out that the loyalists of Ireland are loyal not to their own country and not to the British Empire, but to the meanest and the most obnoxious class interests. Ireland is solid. Ulster has joined hands with Connaught, and whether that alliance lasts or is dissolved it will stand until the battle for land purchase is won. That is a fact which it is the merest folly to ignore or to belittle. The Government have gone out of their way to provoke and to stimu- late the energies of this agitation; they are proclaiming meetings, sending men to prison for exercising the elementary rights of free speech. They have thrown down a challenge where wise men would have chosen silence and inaction. The truth is that the land system of Ireland is in the melting-pot. Ireland is above all things a nation of cultivators. The soil of Ireland cannot support the struggling peasant and the absentee landlord at the same time. Which of tihese men is indispensable to Ireland ? We are told in some quarters that all that the Government has to do is to leave the tenant and the landlord to fight it out by evictions, intimidation, violence, and all the extreme measures to which men are driven by stubbornness on the one side and starvation on the other. Mr. Gladstone was too great a statesman to act on such a principle of despair. He gave to the Irish peasant the protection of the law court, and what has been, the result? The rents to extort which men and women were made homeless have been condemned as exorbitant. Constant friction has arisen; men on all sides recognise what the final issue must be: and if any- thing were wanted to convince Ireland and to convince intelligent opinion that the present system cannot last it has been the effect of Mr. Plunkett's experiments. The Congested Districts Board lias acquired a huge estate and reduced the rents by a third. On its borders there is an estate where the old rents are in force. The moral effect of such a contrast can be imagined. To think that the Irish question can be dismissed at a moment when the party is stronger and more eo^dent than ever is to shut our eyes wilfully to the essential facts of politics. IF Ireland has at this minute an organi- sation with twelve hundred branches scattered throughout the country; if it 1 fi -I- J The Vindication presents a definito de" nuind; if it is repre- Oi the Liberal sented by a stronger Doctrine. party than it has had for very many years, there is a body of opinion which Liberals cannot ignore. But there are two things which dispose of certain difficulties which have been advanced against Home Rule. It was an old argument that Irishmen could nût be trusted to administer their own affairs. The Conservative Government have abolished that argument. The Irish Local Government Act has revealed the capacity of the Irish nation for a just and intelligent management of its concerns. There are at this moment Committees sitting in ublin representing the various County CoanciL, and gathering up together the threads of the organisation of various parts of Ireland. In all these things Irishmen have shewn that they are capable of administering their affairs with prudence an,1 common sense, it was a familiar argument that an Irish Parliament could not be trusted to see justice done to the Irish landlords. With the dis- appearance of the land question there will disappear that hypothetical objection to Home Rule. These facts should encourage the Liberal party, which manfully resolved to heal the breach between the two countries. Lord Rosebery said, in one of his speeches on Home Rule, that there had come to the English democracy a cry from Ireland which could not be stifled. He said that the day of justice to Ireland was certain. We believe that his prophecy was true. The demand for Homo Rule is no passing whim or enthusiasm. It is the fixed ambition of a people which J as become more attached to its own history and a the rights it has lost with, every generation. Liberals cannot cease to respect that ambition. It is an ambition, as they believe, which can bp satisfied in a measure which would leave unquestioned the supremacy of the Imperial Parliament and the integrity of the Empire.

[ FLOGGING A SICK CHILD. SENTENCE FOR MANSLAUGHTER, At Montgomery Assnzes, on Tuesday, Sarah Bennett, Maespridd, Manafon, was sentenced to three years' penal servitude for the man- slaughter of her niece, aged 10. Jud<re Walton- to three years' penal servitude for the man- slaughter of her niece, aged 10. Judge Walton- fcaid there was little doubt that prisoner stripped the child when lying ill and iiiieted a terrible flagging, and lie was afraid that the flogging caused death. Prisoner's condition added to the horror of the case, but for an offence little short- of wilful murder he could not pass a lighter sentence.

RHONDDA COLLIER'S FAMILY TROUBLE. REMARKABLE STORY AT TREALAW. Those of the 'forty thousand miners of the Rhondda Valley who are weekly on the lookout for a fresh sensation to gratify their love of the novel and the remarkable have had their curi- osity more than ever aroused by the story which comes to hand from Trealaw. It was the case of a baby boy who, it had been arrangpd, should be buried with its mother, but subsequently the funeral arrangements were cancelled altogether, as the unexpected hap- pened in his case in a decidedly sensational manner. A reporter of the "Glamorgan Times," with a view of getting at the exact facts, made full inquiries, and learnt that the party who was most interested was Mr David Hunt, a collier, residing at 168, Brithweunydd-road, Treataw. "Yes," said the father to the reporter, I will tell you all about it," and he seemed more than pleased with the turn things had taken. This is the boy." he added, as a bonny and robust- looking'little fellow clung to his knee, and you see that he is all right now." Mr Hunt's son. (From photograph by Forrest and Sons, Pontypridd). Then, going into details, Mr Hunt said :—"At the time when I buried my wife I really thought we would have buried the child also. He was subject to fits, and, in fact, ha,d been very sickly and weak from his birth. The doctors tried all sorts of things, but he was getting weaker and weaker, and when his mother died we gave him up as well. To tell you the truth," he added, "we had given up hope to that extent that we kept his mother's body in the house a day longer than we originally intended to, so that they might be buried together. But he still lingered, and every fit he had we thought would be his last. The doctors gave us no hope, and I thought to myself I would have anoth8r trial. Dr Williams' pink pills for psJe people had cured my little girl once, so I determined to try them for the boy. Why, the first box eased him." But that did not cure the fits ? I don't say that, but the fits were not so bad—you know what I mean-not so strong, and he was not having them two or three times a day, as he use f to. They were gradnalty wearing out the little strength he had, and it seemed that the end might come at any time. But the pills, net only made the fits leas severe, they strengthened him, and enabled him to fight them better. I could see his little face was brighter after the second box, and he was gaining flesh. I gave him three boxes al- together, and here he in now, so you can jadge for yourself," somcwbol, proudly added the father. Do you know of anyone else who has been cured by Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people ? asked the scribe. I "Oh, yes," answered Mr Hunt. "I have I myself been laid up for thirteen weeks--some- thing on the brain, said the doctor; but after taking three boxes of Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people I felt all right. I take some now occasionally when I don't feel up to much. I can tell you this," concluded the father, evey- one who saw the boy when he was ill is simply astonished." =='=

PANTOMIME AT ANGLESEY CASTLE. DIAMOND SPANGLED COSTUMES. A quarter of a. million worth of diamonds, rubies. emeralds, turquioses. and other rare and precious stones are said to be among the stage properties of the pantomime of "Aladdin and his »> onderful Lam p. which is now running in the theatre of Anglesey Castle, and in which the Marquis of Anglesey himself is one cf the chief actors. In the final scene the Marquis wears a dress that is almost entirely composed of diamonds. When at the end the company form- up along the footlights and speak the customary applause-inviting "tags" the Marquis, stepping forward with a smile, has to sav :— "Cheer, cheer, to the celto. If I have pleased, you you will please your Pekoe. It is not wonderful that this appeal is re- warded with a. burst, of enthusiastic applause, for Pekoe. though the lines he has to speak may not be of the highest. brilliancy, wears a. costume that may be taken for anything. It is composed chiefly of thousands of glittering diamonds of the first water, strung together in a sort of trans- parent network cuirass, which iF fitted on over the plain silken slashings in which he is clothed. On arms, legs, hands, body. feet. head, hi sparkles back and front in diamonds and othei precious stones. Tassels of diamonds dangle about his knees', sitings of diamonds make sparkling dancing gleams of light- as they swing from his writs. Of the sort of glittering lace- work in which he is clothed eveiy thread is a string of large diamonds, with a. large diamond at; every point where the threads" intersect Where the lace is worked into designs the design is in the rarest and richest precious stones. At one point the design is a great rosette whose centre is a ruby as large as a shilling magnificently red, and set in rings of diamonds. In a diamond Circle is a splendid em-era Id worth a King's ransom, and at other points are turquoises of purest colour. From the breast- a grey pearl of immense size gleams svftly. On his head he wears a sort of "-old helmet blazing with diamonds. He wear.no earrings, but from the flowered ornaments on either side licad hang more- jjenis. His dainty shoes are studdied "with diamonds and pearls, and about his legs diamonds are sewn into his tights. From his waist da.ngles by a diamond chain a, thing like a chatelaine bag which is ail diamonds. Diamond snakes and circles are about his long, slender arms—one dazzling snake curls round and stretches a ruby head almost as far as his jewel-crowued fingers. Neither on nor off the stage has such a display of jewels ever been seen before upon a single person. It is like the entire display of a grand night at the opera, brought into one focus. This is the most magniSccn-t- of the various costumes which the Marquis wears but it is not the whole, nor tilp- of the display. Every time Pekoe conies on lhe scene it is a new costume, and with Eae-h. r,ev costume he wears an entirely new <?«t of iewelv rt f. estimated, and the Estimate seems'well within the mark, that not less than P of a million pounds worth of jewels a4""••-•■4 by xne Marqui.s for the illumination of ihe l pantomime. Mr Alexander Keith, the manager of the oomjpany. who plays Abanazar with hisrh spirits, wears a magnificent 'horseshoe of dia- nionds and turquoises. The Marquis recognises that in a country so prolific of wealth as Cnima m the days of Aladdin, all the persons about the Court must have bPRn possessed of rich and rare gems. So even the humble chorus girls and men are decked out. with real jewels from the Marquis's treasure, while important per- sonages. such as the Fairy Queen, the Princess Badrouibadour (Miss Ethel -Wevburn. who sings charmingly), and the Widow Twankey (Mr Lowe), are supplied with "props." worth many times over the capitalised value of their profes- sional salaries. I The mounting of the pantomime could not, be so complete were it not for the fact that the Marquis is a great connoisseur and collector of geml" and pretty trinkets of all kinds a hobbv which his enormous wealth gives him the oppor- tunity to indulge.

Caraar. von, to witness this match on Saturday After encountering Aberystwyth three successive times, Portmadoc had to face Carnarvon ;md the result was. one of the most interesting matches played at the Oval this season! Drizzling ram had fallen durinjr the day but subsequently it cleared up. The speit'^ors were most enthusiastic.

A minute later, however. J. Williams and Kingsley bundled the leather and the goalkeeper into the net. The concluding stages of the game were in favour of the home team, who won bv five goals to one. NOTES ON THE GAME. (By "OXLOOKÐR ,.) It is needless to say that the result was re- ceived with surprise and consternation at Port- madoc ,as the present team is considered as the best that has represented Portniadoc for manv years. However, the Carnarvon team deserved to win, though not by so freat a margin as five to one. The score did not represent, the cam?. about three to one would have been a better index to the game. The visitors showed very clever footwork in midfield. but when they neared -oil. they seemed to lose their heads. They could not put on the finishing touch to many good bits of play. The backs and the goalkeeper played a good game for the visitors, and time and a "am brought relief when their stronghold was hard pressed. The custodian especially brought off some marvellous saves, and could not be blamed for any of the shots that beat him. The home players were smarter on the ball than the visitors. and this. added to their weight and strength. gave them the victory. The visitors are all of light build, and are used to a. light sandy ground, and could not at all adapt themselves to the heavy nature of the Oval soil. Not one of the home players can be picked out as being in any sense weak. a.s all of them plav^d a hard winning I 'T game from start to finish. and deserve every praiee. DRAW FOR THE SEMI-FINALS.
