WEEK BY WEEK. This is how a recent incident is described in the Globe Just as the stewards were taking off their coats at Mr. Lloyd George's Cannock meeting and preparing to eject a woman who had given a loud yell, there came an agonised cry from the Chancellor himself. Leave her aln.e," he roared, sh.e has merely offered me a welcome in Welsh." Rolling down their sleeves, they took his word for it.

G Four articles by Professor Anwyl appear in the second volume of CLarks s Lncyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics," the subjects being Arthurian Legend," Celtic Ascetism, Breton Bards," and Welsh Bards."

Lloyd George for the British Congre- gationalist." He has had many experiences of shadow and light, of favour and fantastic obloquy but he stands to-day in a place at- tamed by only a few in the whole century. And he is there unspoilt. Having heard him under varied circumstances in the course of many years there is this to be put down as a personal testi- To-day there is a new note in his voice, a fresh power, in his speeches. It is not simply conviction, it has something prophetic p in it. A free land, a free home, a free school a free market, a free Church—these ideals have inspired prophets and girded leaders in many other lands and ages. No one holds his place more faithfully than the son of the hills." Canvassing stories are in order just now. Dr. Macnamara tells one which is amusing. A young lady was vote-begging on his behalf in Camber well at the last election. She called at a small, house and asked if the occupier was in. A plump old lady answered the door, and before the visitor could "make her business known greet- ed her with a cordial Come inside, my dear, tl, and have a cup of tea The young lady gently but firmly declined the request, and tried for some time in vain to explain her errand. At !ast, however, she managed to do this, where- upon the old lady's face fell and; she observed, 1n disappointed tones Oh I thought as how you was our Jim's new young woman # More than a century ago there died at an advanced age near Llanberis a remarkable woman named Margaret Verch Evan. She was a veritable Diana, and at her cottage was always to be found a selection of the best thoroughbred dog3 in the Principality. She was also a clever oarsman (or oarswoman), harpist, and fiddler, could make and mend shoes', shoe horses, and at the age of seventy was the best wrestler in the county. A recent article in the Spectator mentioned ■an ol<j WTelsh belief that the hare changes its vrX eveTy month or year." In this week's issue Mr. Francis E. Howland writes :—" It may in- terest you to hear off a similar belief among our negroes. As our old washer-woman put it to my sister-in-law, ironing her ruffles in the laundry: Di'n' you ever hear tell, honey, dat in May all de coons an' de 'possums an de rabbits an' de squir'ls changes rum males ter females, an' in de fall dey all changes back agin. Ef you catches a rabbit or a squir'l in de summer, hit's always a female.' And how-did you learn (this, Adeline Deed, Miss Nelly, my mother she always tol' me so.' St. David's College. Lampeter, was erected at a coat of £ 20,000. It was founded by the late Dr. Burgess, then Bishop of St. David's,_and was opened for the reception of students from all parts on March 1, 1827. Towards its com- pletion ^6,000 was contributed by the Govern- menft and [1,000 by George IV., who accom- panied the gift with a letter, wherein he express- ed his high approval of thIs" most laudable effort of the Bishop of St. David's for the benefit of those who should in future constitute the great body of the Welsh clergy." The residue of this sum was collected through the exertions of the bishop, who for twenty years laboured to- accomplish this object. It is impossible to argue with some people. A learned man was once lecturing on The World and its People." The village wiseacre listened very patiently until the lecturer asser- te-d that the population of China was as large as that of the rest of the world combined. "That's rot cried the wiseacre. Talk a bit of sense It's a fact, sir! proceeded the lecturer. 'What would you say if I told you that China's Population is five times that of the British Em- pire? I should say nothin," was the re- ply, because I should know it warn't true. Why. if there were all them people in China the bloomin' world would tip up You can't gull me!

THE LATE g1 f£J. arr, Jll5 JilcÖ. IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL AT LLANDRILLO. The late Mrs. Parry, the esteemed wife of the Rev. Thomas Parry, J.P., Llys Aled, Coiwyn Bay, whose lamented death we recorded last week, was laid to rest on Saturday in the peace- ful old Churchyard at Llandrillo-yn-Rhos. As might have been expected, the funeral cortege was a large and representative one, bearing testi- mony to the universal regard in which the de- parted lady was held,and to the widespread sym- pathy felt with one of Colwyn Bay's foremost public men in his sad bereavement. At 2 o'clock a brief service was held at Llys Aled, in the presence of the mourners and a few friends. The Rev. T. M. Janes read a portion of Scrip- ture, after which the Rev. John Edwards paid a beautiful and eloquent tribute to Mrs. Parry's qualities, and then prayer was offered by the Rev. D. Charles Evans, F.S.A., Trefriw. Among the mourners were the Rev. Thomas Parry, J.P. (husband), Mrs. Hughes (daughter) and family, Mrs. T. Roberts (daughter) and family, Mrs. Owen (daughter) and Miss Lottie Owen, Llys Aled Mrs. Roberts (daughter) and family, LLanrwst; Mrs. Jones (daughter), Llys Gwynfryn Mr. David Charles Parry (son) and Mrs. Parry; Mr. Thomas Williams (nephew), Ocean View, Rhos; nephews and nieces at Pen- rhynside, Mrs. Griffiths (sister-in-law), inir. Gri- ffiths, and Miss Grifliths, Llys Cynielin; Rev. James Griffiths (nephew) and family; Mr. Richard Parry (nephew), Bangor Isycoed; and numerous relatives from Llandudno, Eglwys- bach, and the adjacent districts. The funeral procession was headed by the Rev. Canon Roberts (Vicar of Colwyn Bay), the Rev. D. C. Roberts (C.M.), and a number off other ministers, who were followed by the deacons of all the Free Churches of the district. Next came representatives of the Magisterial Bench and the various public "authorities with which Mr. Parry has been or is now a member, including the Colwyn Bay and Colwyn Urban District Council, the Free Library Committee, and the Governors and staff of Abergele County School. These were succeeded by members of the general public, including some of the prom- inent professional men and leading tradesmen. Then came the hearse and mourners, whose carriages were followed by a large number of ladies. Arrived at the Churchyard, the coffin was lowered into the family grave, and the last rites were performed by the Revs. Lewis Wil- liams, Owen Evans, and Robert Roberts. The Rev. Owen Evans, who was the first pastor at Engedi, delivered a most touching eulogy of Mrs. Parry's consistent life and splendid qualities. With the singing of a favourite hymn, the affecting service closed. MESSAGES OF SYMPATHY. Mr. Parry has received letters of sympathy from many parts of England and Wales, many of them containing grateful references to Mrs. Parry's kindness of heart. Among the writers are Sir T. Herbert Roberts, Bart., Major Lead- better (Chief Constable for Denbighshire), Mr. T. G. Osborn, M.A., J.P., Mr. J. W. Lumley, J.P., many well-known ministers, Mr. T. E. Parry (Town Clerk of Conway), and a number of Mr. Parry's former colleagues on the Den- bighshire County Council, and there are also resolutions passed by public authorities. Sir Herbert Roberts wrote Words are of little avail at such a time, but I want you to know that you have our heartfelt sympathy in this terrible hour of suffering." Mr. T. G. Os- born, of Rydal Mount, wrote I have only just heard of your sad loss, not in time for me to join in the public expression of sympathy, but you will allow me to say in a word how much I do sympathise with you. Such a loss is irre- trievable in this life. The loving companion- ship of many years and their happy memories cannot be replaced here. But as our dear ones move on into the brighter and nobler life our hearts follow them. We know that the separa- tion is not for long, and we are drawn closer to the eternal verities andthe abiding home above. You have no doubt comforted others in similar trouble,and I trust that the Great Comforter will be with you and His presence will bring hope and peace." Mrs. Hammiond in the course of her letter wrote: "If there was one trait of character more apparent than her other many good ones, I think it was her extreme generosity and kindness of heart. The little kindnesses she showed to me on many occasions touched me greatly. They were those little things that so few of us think of uoing, but which are so acceptable, and made one give her such a warm place in my heart." The resolution of the Free Library Council was in the following terms:- That we as a Council beg to express our deep- es": sympathy with our esteemed Chairman, and fellow-member and with the family in their sad bereavement caused through the death of Mrs. Parry." Mr. Marston in his sympathetic letter referred to Mrs. Parry's cheerfulness, energy and kindness. Mr. James Amphlett, Town Clerk of Colwyn Bay, in transmitting a copy of the resolution passed by the District Council, re- ferred to the active part which Mr. Parry had taken in the public life of Coiwyn Bay and to Mrs. Parry's active interest in all good move- ments. On Sunday night in all the Noncon- formist place of worship, sympathetic references were made to the death of Mrs. Parry and to the loss sustained by the Rev. Thomas Parry, with whom sincere sympathy was expressed.

0 Llanrwst Rural District Council. THE GOVERNMENT OF MAENAN PARISH. The monthly meeting of this Council was held on Tuesday, the Rev. H. Rawson Williams pre- siding. There were also present Messrs. John Davies (vice-chairman), John Roberts, William Williams, David Lewis, David Owen, David Jones, and John Davies with the Clerk, Mr. Thos. Hughes and the Surveyor, Mr. Maurice Roberts. A letter was read from the Local Government Board asking for the observation of the Council regarding the transfer of Maenan to Denbigh- shire. Mr. John Roberts thought they should support the transfer, as the present system was un- natural and inconvenience, and caused a great deal of trouble to farmers in connection with sheep scab and swine fever. Mr. John Davies concurred, and mentioned the difficulty respecting the removal of sheep, and the dipping of sheep, as it was necessary for farmers to go to Trefriw in order to obtain a certificate of removal from the police. All the members agreed, and it was proposed by Mr. John. Roberts, seconded by Mr. John Davies. and carried to support the transfer. The Chairman, the Vice-Chairman, and Mr. J. Roberts were appointed to dteno the inquiry. A letter of resignation as Treasurer for the Council was received from Mr. T. Rowland 'Hughes, of the North and South Wales Bank, and accepted. Mr. E. Jones Owen's application as successor was also granted. A letter was read from the Clerk of the Bettws- y-Coed Council, respecting the Stepping Stones at Glan Rhyd, one of the stones having been removed by the water, and asking that two mem- bers should be appointed to meet two members of the Bettws Council on the spot. The Chairman and Mr. John Roberts were accordingly appointed. A communication was read from Mr. R. E. Thomas, Clerk to the Llanrwst Rural Parish Council, as a result of a letter received from the Llanddoget schoolmaster complaining of the wet state of a by-road leading from Felin y Glyn to Nant y Glyn, which was traversed by school children, and which was detrimental to the health of those children, who got their feet wet, an-d they had to remain in that condition all day. The Clerk and Chairman were appointed to procure the necessary information respecting the legal duties of both these two Councils, and Messrs. David Owen and David Jones, and the Clerk to visit the spot, and to report thereon, and application to be made to the Parish Coun- cil for them to appoint two members to meet this deputation.

I Abergele Sparks. 3.025! I That's the way to do it, my friends. No half measures about Sir Herbert Roberts's majority, eh? The West Denbighshire electors, especially the Abergele portion of them, are as proud as peacocks after such a glorious victory. And why shouldn't they? Hip, hip, hurrah! No one knew better than Mr. Sam Thompson him- self what was in store for I him. If he didn't then I pity his genius as a prophet. What on earth possessed some of the Abergele food taxers to think that the verdict could have gone any other way passeth understanding. The wish was father to the thought, and that's an end to it. I guess they will jrive West Denbigh a miss in baulk for a long, long time after such a wither- ing blow. But I do wish they would take their beating with better grace and a kindlier spirit. I Boycotting Liberal tradesmen has already begun, and Heaven, only knows where it is going to end. But it's a sorry business, isn't it? It has the flavour of childish sulks about it. Well, Mr. Sam Thompson quiis the field of battle a sadaer and wiser man than when he entered it. And believe me or believe me not, i feel downright sorry for the man. I realised from the first time I heard him speak at the Gwrych Castle grounds that he was a thorough gentleman, but that he was in bad company—namely, the rich aristo- cracy who wanted to tax the people's food. And now a word about our hero. Sir Herbert Roberts's home-coming on Saturday evening after his brief visit to Coiwyn Bay beggars des- cription. The reception he received by the countless mass of his supporters was gloriously sublime in its intensity. Even King Edward could not wish for anything more enthusiastic. could not wish for anything more enthusiastic. The cheering was continuous and deafening as his brilliantly lit up motor-car wended its way slowly towards the Liberal Committee Room, and when he stepped out and climbed into a waiting carriage, the scene was indescribable. Silence having been restored, Sir Herbert, who was very hoarse, made a short speech. He said that they had had a great fight and a glorious victory-a victory which would leave its mark on the political history of North Wales. Con- cluding in Welsh, he said that his heart was too full of thankfulness to say any more that night. He was proud of the men who had worked so hard' night and day on his behalf. He would promise them that he would try and repay them by doing his utmost for the benefit of the nation on the floor of the House of Commons. Nos dawch," said Sir Herbert, a boreu da i gyfnod newydd yn hanes Cymru." Lady Roberts was I also compelled to answer the calls of the crowd for. a few words. She stood up in the motor-car and thanked the Abergele people in English and Welsh for their devotion to her husband whom they had returned to Parliament with such a convincing and sweeping majority. A process- ion was then formed, headed by a large number of torch bearers and the Llandd'ulas Silver Band. It was a superb spectacle. Sir Herbert was drawn triumphantly through the main was drawn triumphantly through the main thoroughfares. The band played See the Con- quering Hero comes," and the multitude appar- ently endeavouring to drown the melodious and silvery music with nerve-shattering shouts of silvery music with nerve-shattering shouts of never-ending exclamations of joy. 'Twas a sight for the gods. II Well, in congratulating Sir Herbert on his brilliant victory, I hereby take off my hat to those who worked so unremittingly on his behalf throughout the whole of his vast constituency. Bravo! A benefit concert for the purpose of raising funds with which to buy a horse for Mr. David Jones, Liverpool House, was held at the Town Hall on Monday evening, presided over by Mr. G. Perkin.s. The hall was literally packed, and I am glad that it was, for it is no joke for a hard-working man to lose a valuable horse as Mr. David Jones has done. The following pro- gramme was gone through:—Song, Hiip, hip, hurrah!" Mr. H. K. Osborne, Rhyl (encored) song, "Y gardotes fach," Miss Katie Jones; song, Death of Nelson," Mr. James Hughes; song, Captain La-di-da-di-doo," Mr. E. W. Bradley, Kinmel (encored) song, I fyny bo'r nod," Mr. Waller V. Jones song, A dream of old Algiers," Mr. Frank Cookson, Rhyl; song, "J can't make up my mind," Mr. Ben Cybi Williams (encored) song, Tax the bachelors," Mr. I-I. K. Osborne (encored) song, Love me, and the world is mine," Mr. Alf. Harrison; song, £ s. d. Mr. E. W. Bradley (encored) song, Songs of Araby," Mr. F. Cookson; duett, Excelsior," Messrs. Jas. Hughes and W. V. Jones; song, Castiau Gwraig," Mr. Ben Cybi Williams; song, My motto," Mr. Os- borne song, The Hunting song," Mr. Bradley (encore, Footmarks in the snow) song, Simon Lhvyd o'r l'otty," Mr. Robert Hughes (encore, (encore, Footmarks in the snow) song, Simon Lhvyd o'r Fotty," Mr. Robert Hughes (encore, Off to Philadelphia ") God save the King," Mr. Bradley leading with the solo. How well preserved our old friend, Mr. Bradley is, to be sure Age doesn't damp his ardour on the plat- form one little bit. He goes in for good old so-ng-s with rollicking choruses to them, and he never fails to secure thunderous encores. Per- ha.ps he and Cybi will take it into their heads to learn a few new songs one of these next fine days. But I'll risk a bet of a new hat that the old ones, like old wine, will go down better with the Abergele audiences. j Mr. Perkins explained to the audience the ob- [ ject of the concert, an on behalf of the bene- ficiary, thanked them lor rallying round him &o he.artily in his hour of need. Mr. H. E. Thomas moved a vote of thanks, which was passed with acclamation, to all those who had helped to make the concert such a huge successviz., the acocmpanist (Mr. Gwil- ym Morgan), the artistes (especially the two from Rhyl), Mrs. R. Hughes, Local Lane, for the free use of her piano, and Mr. H. R. Hughes, of Kinmel, for the free use of the hall. I could write a column or two about last Wednesday's great Liberal meeting at the Town Hall, over which the Rev. Francis Jones pre- sided. But what is the use of piling on the agony ? # I POSTCARDS. To Messrs. W. J. Evans, Edward Williams, I and W. E. Jones. Gentlemen,—You have all worked unflinch- ingly, without an iota of fear, on behalf of our proud and popular Baronet, the Hero of West Denbigh and the Pride of Bryngwenallt. You are hereby decorated on your manly chests with the coveted D.S.O. medals. Long life to you! To Cybi. Dear Chum,—You have composed election songs and sung them with gusto. I hear that some of vo-ur customers are so much vexed with you that they have bidden you good-bye for ever and ever, Amen. Are you downhearted? Not much To Mr. Sam Thompson. Respected Sir,—You have fallen badly wound- ed on the field of battle but you live to fight another day-not necessarily in West Denbigh. "c You rejoiced in the fact that you were a working" man. That being so, be consistent and come out in your true colour next time—i.e., a labour candidate, and you will win—but not in Wesit Denbigh. Candidly, you are a credit to your class, and you ought to make much headway in the political world. But you must shun Tariff Reform." Why? Because— Britannia rules the waves, my boy- The wor ld you need not tell; But Britons mean to crush the Lords, And rule the Land as well. And rule the Land as well. An interesting wedding was solemnized at the C.M. Chapel on Tuesday morning, when Mr. Robert Roberts, Twll Llwynog, and Miss Mar- garet Roberts, Greystones," Sea-road, were united in the bonds of matrimony, the Rev. Francis Jones officiating. The bridesmaid was, Miss Winifred Roberts, sister of the bride, whilst I Mr. Ellis Roberts., brother of the bridegroom, I acted as best man. Both bride and bridesmaid wore prettily designed costumes of navy blue cloth, and wore large picture hats, trimmed with white silk and ostrich feathers.

Y Canlyniadau. GAN Y PARCH. EVAN JONES, CAERNARFON. Nid yw yr Etholiad drosodd yn hollol eto, er hynny y mae wedi myned yn ddigon pell fel y gellir yn awr, gyda gradd o hyder, fras-gyfrif y canlyniadau. O'r pleidiau yn yr ymdrech, ar eu pennau eu hunain, daw yr Undebwyr allan yn y mwyafrif. Daethant i fynny yn bennaf drwy eu henillion yn nhrefydd bychain gwledig a marwaidd a siroedd amaethyddol Deheubarth Lloegr. Yno yr oedd dylanwad y bendefigaeth yn ei lawn nerth; dychrynid y rhai a ymddibynent ar y palasau mai canlyniad y Gyllideb fyddai cwtogi gallu y gwyr mawr i roddi gwaith a chardodau i'r rhai a ymddibynnai arnynt. Apeliai y darluniau ofnadwy ar y muriau, yn gosod allan echryslon- rwydd Masnach Rydd achreulondeb diFyg gwaith, at ystyriaeth pwl ac anoleuedig y werin. Crwydrai y clerigwyr o dy i dy, gan osod allan, os collid yr Etholiad, gyflvvr truenu- a thrallodedig yr Eglwys, pe y dychwelid y Rhyddfrydwyr. Desgrifid effeithiau arswydlawn Llywodraeth Leol ar am- gylchiadaua chrefydd Protestaniaid yn y Werddon. Ac uwchlaw pob peth portreadid i'r amaethwyr, mewn llivviau teg, anghenfilwch Masnach Rydd a gogoniant Diffyndollaeth. Ac ymdrinid a'r koll bethau hyn yn llawenydd y Dafarn ac nid ym mhrudd-der y Llan. Fel, rhwng popeth, aeth Deheubarth Lloegr mor gryno y tro hwn yn erbyn y blaid Ryddfrydig ag yr aeth y tro o'r blaen o du Masnach Rydd. I Ryddfrydwyr y mae hyn oil yn ddigon poenus a chwerw. Priodolant y cwbl i gelwydd ac ystrywiau yr wrthblaid, rhai nid arbedasant na thraul na ilafur, nac arian na diod, na deniadau nac ystrywiau, i ennill eu nod. A diau fod yn hyn oll lawer iawn mwy na chysgod o wir. Ond i'r rhai hynny a gredant that every- thing is fai-r in love and war," y mae cyrraedd yr amcan yn cyfiawnhau y moddion. Disgwyliai y Rhyddfrydwyr—gan gynnwys yn yr enw hwn yn awr y rhai a adwaenir fel Rhyddfryd- wyr, y Gwyddelod a Phlaid I-lafur,-y rhai a gyd- weithient &'u gilydd yn yr Etholiad, er nad oedd yr un cytundeb rhyngddynt, y caent fwyafrif mawr, digonol i weithio arno, os nid cymaint a'r un oedd ganddynt cyn y dadgorfforiad. Yn hyn, fel yr ymddengys pethau yn awr, nid ydynt yn debyg o gael eu siomi. Oblegyd, pa faint bynnag ydyw gorfoledd yr Undebwyr o herwydd eu llwyddiant —a rhaid addef ei fod yn fawr, ac nid yn hollol anghyfreithlawn, fel y mae pethau yn myned,eto nad yw yn ddigon i roddi iddynt fwyafrif yn v Senedd. Yn ol amcangyfrif hyd yn oed y Daily Mail-y mwyaf diarbed a haerllug o'u cefnogwyr -os Ihvydda yr adranau gwrthwynebol i'r Undeb- wyr i gydynnu-gadewir yr Undebwyr, ar ymran- iad, mewn lleiafrif o 123. Cant yn unig oedd mwyafrif Mr Gladstone yn 1868 (gan gynnwys hefyd y Blaid Wyddelig) a 118 oedd mwyafrif Ardalydd Salisbury yn 1886. Parhiiodd y Seneddau hyn, bob un, dros chwe' blynedd, a gwnaethpwyd yn v blynyddoedd hynny bethau a adawant eu hot yn arhosol ar ein gwlad. A phaham nad all y Senedd a etholir yn bresennol wneud yr un peth ? Dyna'r cwestiwn. Ar yr atebiad a roddir i hwn t v mae ofnau a disgwyliadau y prif pleidiau yn ymddibynnu. Amlwg ydyw fod y fantol yn awr yn hollol gyda'r blaid Wyddelig. Ffurfia y Rhydd- frydwyr a Phlaid LIafur gyda'u gilydd bron yn hollol yr un nifer a'r Undebwyr. Felly, hyd yn oed ped arhosai y ddwy adran yn ynghyd, gallai y Blaid Wyddelig, trwy ymuno a'r Undebwyr, eu dymchwelyd. Ond ped ymunai Plaid Llafur a'r Undebwyr, gallai y Blaid Rhyddfrydig a'r Blaid Wyddelig, ped arhosant ynghyd, eu gorchfygu. Felly y mae yn hollol amlwg fod yr holl chwareu vn nwylaw'r Blaid Wyddelig. Dyma gyfle iddi heb ei fath. A fydd iddi hi ei arfer i gefnogi y Rhyddfrydwyr ? Rhaid addef ar unwaith nad yw y pwnc hwn yn hollol glir a di-ddyrysweh. Er engraillt, y mae yn hollol wybyddus fod y Gwyddelod yn erbyn y Gyllideb, yn enwedig y rhanau hyny o honi sydd yn cylfwrdd &'u prif ddiod hwy—eu creadur an- wyi a hofI-y Whisci. Ymladda'r Gwy idei dros ei iVhisci hyd farw. A gytunant hwy a'r Rhydd- frydwyr i basio hwn er magu y mater pwysicach— os pwysicach hefyd yn ei golwg hwy-sef Llyw- odraeth Gartrefol ? Ynte a raid i Mr. Lloyd George ymgyfaddasu i'w cyfarfod, a gadael iddynt gael eu ffordd gyda'u Whisci ? Drachefn, pan gynygiodd y Prif-weinidog benderfyniad yn adlewyrchu ar Dy yr Arglwyddi o herwydd taflu allan y Gyllideb, ni ddarfu i'r Gwyddelod, fel plaid, gytuno yn y penderfyniad. A ymunent hwy i wneud hyny, neu rywbeth tebyg iddo, yn awr ? Ar gyfer hyn, ar y llaw arall, dylid cofio fod y Gwyddelod, yn yr etholiad hwn, wedi rhoddi pob- peth arall heioio-addysg a thafarniaeth a'r cwbl —a phleidleisio, braidd yn unfrvdol, dros Lywodr- aeth Gartrefol, ac fel rhagarweiniad i hynny, ar gwtogi gallu yr Arglwyddi. Os gall Mr. Lloyd George eu cyfarfod hwy ar adrannau y whisci yn y Gyllideb-a pha le y bu neb erioed yn fwy medrus nag ef i dindwyro dynion ?-oni allant hwythau ymuno ag yntau a'r Weinyddiaeth i daclo'r Ar- glwvddi ? Ac heblaw hynny, dylid cofio fod y Blaid Wyddelig yn awr o dan arweiniad un o zr- weinyddion mwyaf medrus, dyn nad yw yn arferol byth o golli ei ben mewn anhawsderau. Gwir y bydd y march Gwyddelig anystry wallt, pan fyddo wedi ei gynhyrfu yn fawr, yn trethu ei alluoedd yntau i'w farchogaeth hyd yr eithaf. Gwnaeth hynny yn ddiweddar, ond llwyddodd John Red- mond, trwy gymeryd arno ddyfod i lawr oddi ar ei gefn ac esgyn i fyny eilwaith, gadw ar y cyfrvvy o hyd. Y mae y gamp yn awr yn ei law. A touch may make and a touch may mar." A fydd efe i fyoy a'r amgyichiadau ? Os bydd, yna y mae yn goleuo ar y Blaid Ryddfrydig yn fawr, ac nid aifi holl ymdrech y Blaid yn yr etholiad yn ofer. Neu tybier,-tybier-fod John Redmond a'r Blaid Wyddelig, er mwyn amodau gwell, yn pen- derfynu taflu y Rhyddfrydwyr a Phlaid Llafur dros v drws, ac ymuno a'r Undebwyr, dan addewid o gael Llywodraeth Gartrefol ganddynt. Dichon y dywed rhywun fod y fath syniad tuhwnt i ddych- ymyg y mwyaf gorfiwyllog allu meddwl ern dano. Dichon hynny. Am danaf fy hun nid wyf yn gallu bod yn rhy sicr. Dywedodd Ardalydd Salisbury, yn Newport, sir Fynwy, y byddai rhoddi Llywodraeth Leol i'r Gwyddel yn waeth na rhoddi iddo Lywodraeth Gartrefol, gyda senedd leol yn Nublin, ac er hyny, bu iddo ef ei hun roddi iddi, wedi'r cwol, Llywodraeth Leol. Ac os ydyw honno yn waeth yn ol ei farn ef na Llywodraeth Gartrefol, pa anghysondeb fyddai i'w nai a'i olyn- wyr roddi iddynt hefyd y Llywodraeth Gartrefol y maent yn ei cheisio ? Y mae pethau llawer iawn rhyfeddach na hyn wedi digwydd. Dyna yn fyrr y safle fel y mae yn ymddatblygu i'r gohvg yn awr. Amser a ddcngys pa rai o'r pethau hyn a allant ddigwydd a wnant ddigwydd. Wrth derfynnu rhaid dweyd fod llawer iawn o bethau yn bosibl pe gellid cyfuno y tair adran, a gvfansoddant y Blaid Ryddfrydig yn yr etholiad hwn yn un blaid gref. Pasiai y Gyllideb wedi ei diwygio. Torid ewinedd yr Arglwyddi. Caem Ddadgysylltiad i Gymru. Helaethid ac ail-drefnid yr etholfraint. Caem un dyn un bleidlais, ac yn y blaen. Ac un o'r arwyddion goreu yn y dyfodol ydyw fod Gogledd Lloegr, Scotland, a Chymru, wedi sefvll mor unol o blaid rhyddid yn yr Ethol- iad hwn. Gwnaeth Cymru yn odidog. Chwydd- odd mwyafrif Mr. Ellis Griffith ym Mon dros fil. A dyma'r brif oruchafiaeth ym Mwrdeisdrefi Arfon —yr etholiad yr oedd yr holl deyrnas a'i lygad arno-wedi dychwelyd Mr Lloyd George gyda chant a hanner yn fwy na'r mwyafrif yn yr Etholiad blaen: orol. Hwre! Siomodd Bwrdeisdrefi Maldwyn bawb yn yr ochr oreu. Daeth Bwrdeisdref Dinbych a sir Faesyfed drwyddi yn llawn cystal ag yr oedd neb yn disgwyl. Collwyd dyn ardderchog yn Syr Frank Edwards ac ymladdwr diail yn Mr. Clement Edwards. Da iawn, Gymru fach anwyl Prolfwyda rhai y ceir etholiad yn fuan eto. Hyderaf na cheir. Ond os ceir, bydd y nesaf yn llawer iawn gwell i'r Blaid Rhyddfrydig. Enill- odd yr Undebwyr, y tro hwn, yr holl wobblers Seisnig. Byddant ganddynt y tro nesaf i'w colli. A mawr les iddynt arnynt. Gweddiwn dros y Gwyddelod. EVAN JONES. Caernarfon, Ionawr 24ain, 1910.
