Notes and News. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has gone on the Continent to enjoy a well-deserved rest after his recent Parliamentary labours. It was a humiliating sight last week to watch the Lords passing the Budget Bill with such speed. It was a case of having to eat the leek with a vengeance. The next topic in political circles will be the Veto Bill. Will the Lords reject the very moderate proposals of the Ministry ? or will an Election be fought upon it in July? Some Radicals are advocating the Refer- endum in connection with the Veto Bill. That would be disastrous to the Government, and we hope it will not be agreed to. Several of the Welsh MP.'s have gone abroad for the Whitsuntide recess. Mean- while their respective local agents are busily arranging for a fierce electoral contest in case the Lords dare to oppose the ministry again. Now, that the people are beginning to understand the Budget, they are marvelling at the suicidal conduct of the House of Peers during last November. Will there be any concession to Ireland in the 1910 Budget? We do not think there will be many, only a slight reduction in the whiskey tax, which is inevitable now that the drink traffic is so greatly on the decrease. There is a rumour that a slight modifica- tion will be made with regard to the tobacco duty in the next Finance Bill. But the difference will not materially affect the price of the weed to the average smoker. According to many reports presented at the various conferences of the May meetings in London, the interest in religious matters is greatly on the decrease. Even the mem- bership in several of the denominations has fallen, and it looks as if we were going to have a period of indifference after the recent revival outburst. According to a report received from a correspondent in South Wales, Mr. Evan Roberts, the Revivalist, is not at all strong, and it is hoped that his friends will not permit him to hold another series of meetings for some time yet. Indeed it is doubtful if he will ever again be the power that he once was The meeting of the Nonconformist leaders with the Welsh M.P.'s at Westminster the other day was not wholly a pleasant one. The preachers were in a very critical and fault- finding mood, and seemed to think that the whole political machinery had nothing to do but to settle the Church question in Wales Should an election be fought in July it is not likely that many contests would be wit- nessed in Wales. The Welsh case at head- quarters is considered hopeless, and it is merely a waste of money to try to capture the Welsh people for Tariff Reform. If this decision be adhered to, several young barristers will be "unemployed" during the next campaign. Miss B. Hamer Jones, the Welsh typist, of 59, Chancery Lane, announces that she has opened a special department to deal with type-writing in Welsh. Therefore should anyone desire a series of letters, circulars, &c., prepared on the most modern methods, either in Welsh or English, he should consult Miss Jones at the above address. The new Labour Ministry in the Common- wealth of Australia comprises one promi- nent Welshman in the person of Mr. Hughes, who has been appointed Attorney-General for the colony. Mr. Hughes was educated at the Llandudno Grammar School, and is 45 years old. In early life he was a teacher, but on his arrival in Australia in 1884 he threw himself into politics and became one of the members for Sydney. In the Watson Government he was Minibter for External Affairs. His extreme business capacity has been utilised as chairman of the Royal Com- mission, on the Navigation Bill, and as Presi- dent of the Waterside Workers' Federation. Mr. Hughes is greatly interested in com- pulsory military training, and has written and spoken much on the subject. He was a representative of the Commonwealth at the Navigation Conference held in London in 1907. The Cardiff City Corporation do their best to brighten the lives of the citizens by means of first class music in the parks in the summer months. This year choirs also will be engaged to sing in Roath Park, and a special covered platform will be erected for the purpose. The musical adviser to the Corporation is Professor David Evans, Mus. Bac., Cardiff, formerly organist at Jewin Chapel, London.
