Notes and News. MAY a merry Christmastide and a joyous New Year be the lot of all our readers. OUR Senators were granted a well-earned holiday on Monday last. PARLIAMENT has been prorogued to the middle of February. It is then that the Asquith regime will really begin. IT took some five minutes to abolish the House of Lords in the Commons last week. Mr. Will Crooks moved the motion for its abolition, and it was duly seconded, and was declared carried The pity of it, however, was, that the Speaker was not present at the time, so the resolution became as dead as the Licensing Bill. THE miners have had their charter of freedom, for the Miners' Eight Hours Bill passed into law last week and will come into operation during the coming year. It was opposed by a section in the House of Lords, not because it helped to save the lives of miners, but because they feared that the price of coal would be raised after it became law NEXT session will be Mr. Asquith's first session of Parliament. During the present year he has only been clearing up the residue of the late Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman's > programme. It will be interesting to see what innovations he will include in his first list of legislative reforms. MR. D. A. THOMAS, M.P., is going to start a new League in order to push the question of Disestablishment to the forefront of political questions affecting the principality of Wales. Mr. D. A. will claim Mr. Asquith as the most prominent member of his League, especially as the question of Welsh Dis- establishment will be the premier measure in next year's King's Speech. AT the Royal Academy of Music, the Sainton-Dolby prize for contraltos has just been awarded to Miss Mary A. Davies, of Llanelly. "AMONGST the essentials of Nationality, understood aright, none is more funda- mental, none more important, none strikes deeper roots, none is more far reaching in its results, than a national language. It is the most striking symbol-the one invin- cible barrier against national disintegration its most effective bulwark the most certain —indeed, the only certain-guarantee of its continuance and perpetuation."—The Very Rev. M. P. O'HICKEY. THE language which grows up with a people, is conformed to their organs, de- scriptive of their climate, constitution, and manners, mingled inseparably with their history and their soil, fitted beyond any other language to express their prevalent thoughts in the most natural and efficient way. To impose another language on such a people is to send their history adrift among the accidents of translation—'tis to tear their identity from all places—'tis to substi- tute arbitrary signs for picturesque and suggestive names—'tis to cut off the entail of feeling, and separate the people from their forefathers by a deep gulf—'tis to corrupt their very organs and abridge their power of expression. "-THOMAs DAVIS. EACH nation has been sent by God to do a special and peculiar work, for which the whole circle of its characteristic endow- ments is but the qualifying equipment, while its actual history is merely the fulfil- ment of that work. Therefore, each nation has its own country and its own soul, its own language and its own liberty, given to it by Almighty God as a means whereby the Divine plan is to be wrought out. This view of the subject, which is perfectly true, should give pause to the good people who say that a nation's language is an unim- portant -:matter. "-Rev. PATRICK FORDE, B.D.
