SATURDAY, OCTOBER S, 1889. IJ "WALES FOR THE WELSH.' ONE gets tired of the continued repetition of reference at the Church Congress to the cry of Wales for the Welsh." Englishmen who attend the meetings or who read the reports will imagine there is in the Principality a dreadfully extreme and terribly powerful section who make this cry their motto. In fairness to these visitors, and in justice to Welshmen, we would say there could be no greater mistake. The Bishop of ST. ASAPH on Tuesday, at the Cathedral, and more than one speaker at the Colonial-hall yesterday, con- demned the cry and those who made use of it. In doing this the bishop and his imita- tors attacked a bogey of their own creation. There can be no greater fallacy than to suppose, as would naturally be supposed from the utterances of some members of the Congress, that Welsh patriotism has adopted this cry as its watchword. One of the speakers said that its repetition would induce Englishmen to retaliate by crying "England for the English." We can ven- ture to say that with the exception of an extreme section, so small in point of numbers and influence as to be infinitesimal, Welshmen repudiate such a cry in the sense attached to it by the speakers, and that they do not desire to see adopted with regard to Wales a policy different in charac- I ter to that adopted in England. England has practically raised the cry of England for the English for no one is elected to public appointments there who does not himself understand, and who cannot make himself understood in, the English tongue. This is only right, and as it should be. It would be manifestly absurd to appoint, say, a county court judge, or a factory inspector, or an inspector of schools, or a bishop of a diocese, or any other public functionary in England, if he could not converse with the people in their mother tongue. To that extent, and only to that extent, is it true that Welshmen have raised the cry of Wales for the Welsh.1' They place themselves on an equality with their English brethren, and say that in Wales, where the Welsh language is still habitually spoken by the great majority of the people, no person should be appointed to any public post who, from want of ac- quaintance with the language of the people, would be incapable of properly discharging the duties appertaining to the office. Now, in the papers read and the discussion which followed at the Colonial Hall yester- day afternoon, it was made sufficiently manifest that the Welsh language ig still a living power in the principality; that, being a living power, it should be taught and utilized in schools of all grades and that the clergy, in order to be fitted to properly discharge their duties, should have as ready a command over Welsh as over English. To this extent, then, Welsh Churchmen have publicly adopted the cry of Wales for the Welsh." Further than this Welsh Nonconformists do not go. Archdeacon GRIFFITHS and those who have laboured with him in the movement for which the Welsh Utilization Society is re- sponsible, and which has for its object the due recognition of the claims of the native language in the school system of the principality, must have felt gratified as speaker after speaker at yesterday's meet- ing enforced the views the society has been for the last four years engaged in propagat- ing. We venture to say that never has that movement been more fully justified than in the public recognition and endorsement of its principles by the several speakers at the meeting to which we have referred. We will venture to say more—that from no political platform, and at the great gather- ings of no Nonconformist denomination, have the principles of the Welsh Utilization Society been more clearly or so forcibly and unmistakably expressed. If Welsh Nonconformists were the intensely jealous and terribly hostile class which the imagination of some Churchmen paints them, we should have them up in arms against the teaching and utilization of Welsh because the Church Congress has formally given the movement its sanction and support. Having said thus much, we would wish to point out some fallacies in the arguments and figures adduced at the meeting. Mr T. MORGAN OWEN can hardly lay claim to be regarded as an authority on statistics iLhe is not more careful in verifying those he brings forward and is not more honest in deal- ing with them than he was on Friday. His acquaintance with Carmarthenshire, for in- tance-wbich, with the exception of a I comparatively insignificant portion, is as dis- tinctly Welsh as Cardiganshire, must be very small if he says it is difficult to de- termine whether Welsh or English predomi- nates and the accompanying assertion that six out of the twelve Welah counties were more English than Welsh equally open to doubt. Hia gleanings from. Blue Books of ten and eleven years ago bore >11 the musty flavour of ancient history, and When upon these he based misleading conclusions, he went, com- paratively speaking, as "far astray as if he had raked up the absurd charges levelled against the Welsh people in the notoriously execrated Blue Books of the first Welsh Education Cofcatnission. Had Mr T. MORGAN OWEN éiaminecl more recent Education Blue Books iie would have found official statements quite the reverse ot some of those he made, and would also have found that out of the 3,751 Nonconformist chapels in Wales, 2,853 were classed a entirely Welsh and 393 English. In other words, something over 75 per-cent, of the services in Nonconformist chapels were conducted in Welsh, and something under 25 per cent. in English. Equally misleading were his figures with regard to the Established Church. He gave the number of churches where services are conducted in English as 536; Welsh, 317; bilingual, 485 unclassified, 134. If this were true it would show the Church in a very unfavourable light as compared with Dissent so far as its care for the spiritual welfare of the people is con. cerned. For, according to his figures, while Nonconformists have purely Welsh services in 75 per cent. of their chapels, the Estab- lishment has only 21 per cent. of its churches exclusively Welsh, and even adding the "bilingual" to this number, only 54 per cent. partly Welsh. Neither is it true that a large proportion of those attending Welsh services would prefer English ministrations. It is a well-known fact that a large proportion of the English causes in Wales have been established In the first instance by drafting members from purely Welsh congregations, and that to day no inconsiderable number of those who are members of English Churches would better enjoy a Welsh than an English sermon. Add to this the equally suggestive fact pointed out by another speaker, that the Church of England in Wales not infrequently provides an English service for the benefit of a single family, and in other cases for a very few monoglot Englishmen in the heart of a purely Welsh parish, and the figures ad- vanced by Mr T. MORGAN OWEN wear a very different complexion. We must admit, too, to a certain feeling of disappointment at some of the utterances of Dean OWEN. To charge Nonconformists indiscriminately with narrowness and prejudice, and to claim for the Church of England the position of being the only body possessed of sufficient power of expansion to meet the possibly changed needs of the future of religious thought in Wales, was one of a few expressions certainly unworthy of that liberal mindedness, breadth of thought, and charity which Nonconformists would willingly attribute to him. Does Dean OWEN remember that he is speaking of the Church which had not sufficient power of expansion to retain the 2.000 evicted clergymen of 1662 ? which had not sufficient power of expansion to permit DANIEL KOWLANDS, and THOMAS CHARLES, and WILLIAMS or Wern to occupy a place in it? Is this indeed the Church, and the only Church, which can adapt itself to the needs of the future, and which, in doing so, must needs swallow up or oust for ever the Noncon- formist bodies which, according to Dean YAUGHAN, have done and are doing such n valuable service to the cause of true religion V It is evident that even the most advanced Churchmen have not yet mastered the secret of the strength and the power of Nonconformity.

BY COSMOS. "STOP AR 3UXIO SASNEQ." Mr T. MORGAN OWEN, in Lis address at the Colonial-hall ou Friday, eaid tbat the Welsh of South Wales was half English. Had he listened to an address delivered at the Welsh Baptist Union on Wednesday last, he would have been convinced that his statement was justified. For his benefit I give the address vo'batirnet literatim Yr wyf i yn supposo mai peth da i authorities yr undeb fyddai arrange beforehand pwy sydd i broposo, secoudo, a supportio y resolutions Pe gwuelid feily feallai y cawsem multum in parv* a byddai y resolutions hwyrach dipyn yu more important Nid ydyw yn usual, ond credaf mai grand improvement fuasai byay.

Though it does not prevail to so great an extent as Mr T. M. Owen stated, it is certainly too prevalent, and needlessly so. A few such sarcastic lessons as Mr Iwan Jenkyn gave at Llandudno will do good.

ANOTHER MISTAKE. MR T. MORGAN OWKN fell into another, and equally grievous error, when he said that the Welsh language was not adapted for the purposes of science and commerce, and that its vocabulary is so limited that it is a matter of difficulty to translate the English into Welsh, He adduced as a proof tbo fact that English words appear in Welsh print, and are bsard in Welsh addresses. This reply to this is simple. It is not the language which is at fault the fault lies with the writer or the speaker for not having properly studied the language. There is no such inherent defect in Welsh as there is in English. For nearly all scientific terms English scholars are compelled to go to other languages for the material with which to build these terms. In Welsh this difficulty would not apply. It possesses in itself such a wealth of simple roots as would enable a man with any pre- tence of Welsh scholarship to manufacture a purely Welsh term which would be not only descriptive of the idea intended to be conveyed, but would also be self- explanatory. Take, for instance, the words tele- scope, telegraph, and telephone. These are not English words, and their meanings have to be explainedto any person who has heard nothing but English. In Welsh we have the necessary roots in pell, far; yr, an instrument; gweltd (gwd-wcl), to see; eb, to say; and sain, a sound. Thus wa form :— Pell-wel-yr—an instrument to see afar—telescope. Pell-eb-yr—an.instrument to say afar—telegraph. Pell-sein-yr—an- instrument to sound afar—tele- phone. The Welsh language may not have been developed in the direction of scientific terms but this is not the fault of the language but of its students.

TOOTH EXTBACTipN, JRXTKAORDINAKT, A" COBRESPONDENT writes:—"I was at Ponty- pridd on Thursday evening and had the pleasure of witnessing a well-known expert pulling teeth- pardon the expression,1 for I should have said extracting. Judging by the numerous operations which he performed, be is an excellent dentist. I stood in front of his scenq of operations for about ten minutes, and, during that comparatively brief period I witnessed him extracting about thirty teeth. There was a large crowd present, and everybody seemed to be surprised at the marvellous rapidity and dexterity with which he accomplished bis work. My curiosity was aroused by one particular thing, though probably it struck no one else. Immediately before the operator proceeded with bis task, he motioned to the band, wbicb, I understaDrJ. invariably accompanies te dentist, to give some music. The brass band then played away, and instantly a female ascended the platform and seated herself in an arm chair. The operator seized the jaw, opened the mouth, peered in, turned around and took bold of an instrument, which ho inserted in the proper place, and out came the decayed tooth. Off she goes, and up comes another. Off he goes, the tooth is thrown aside, and up comos another patient, the band stIll playing. Then up steps another, and another, and another, men, women,'and children —well, parsons of a!l ages—the patients ascending and descending and passing before one's eyes like some panoramic scenes. The gathering around the van was immense.

A TIP FOR THE DOCTORS. Now, it struck me whilst gazing at the opera- tions as they were being performed, that there was a novelty about the business, and a novelty indeed from which our doctors and dentists might well take a tip. Before telling you what the tip is, let me contrast this particular operator's method with that adopted by doctors generally through- out South Wales. A person is suffering from toothache and writhing with pain. He or she goes tc a medical practitioner. The patient is put in a chair. The room is siient aud undisturbed but by the cries of the unfortunate sufferer. He tells the psor patient, "Don't cry, all will be right just now." He then goes about bis work-the extracting business. Here goes—especially if the painful tooth be a stiff one—oh-o-o-o-oh-ah-a-a-a- ah The operator drops it; takes his instrument out because the a-a-ah is so terribly bard to hear. He makes another attempt, and here goes a-a-a- ati again. Well, gentlemen, take the tip; get, say, a kettle drum, and engage a person tempo- rarily to play it furiously when you are about proceeding with the job. When you are ready to seiza the jaw and insert the instrument into the patient's mouth, just mutter "Perhapsthe kettle- drum player will oblige us with a tune." Then when the operation is being performed you have rum turn tiddie de- tum, tiddlede-dum-rum-tum, and so on, until the work is satisfactorily executed. You medical practitioners may laugh at this sugges- tion and pooh-pooh it, but I am talking seriously upon the matter. The rum-turn business Dot only effects a sort of charm, but it drowns the cries and the ejaculations of your subject, and nerves you up whilst the painful task is being accomplished. Why should not the strains of a brass baud be as efficacious in the surgery as on the battle-field. I sugggst a kettle-drum to begin with because the experiment would cost but very little. Try it, gentlemen.

A LETTER STAMPING MACHINE. A LETTER stamping machine is, says Iron, now on trial at the New York General Post-office, which, in the opinion of those who have observed its work, has solved a, most difficult problem in the handling of postal matter. The number of letters stamped by operators using a hand stamp in con- nection with an inking pad is about 60 a minute, or 3,000 an hour. The maximum rate of the new machine is 500 por minute for letters of uniform shape and thickness, while with general mail matter, including letters of different sizes and post-cards, the actual work is but little lass. For the busy portion of the day its record is 4-,OOO letters an hour. The machine is a little larger than a sewing-machine, and a small dynamo fur- nishes the motive power. The operator feeds the letters in quantities into the hopper of the machine where they are seized by a t-ystem of feed-rollers, which pass them one by one, but with great rapidity, to the printing die. The mechanism of this automatic feed-bed and stamping device con- sists of a belt, which forms the moving bottom of the hopper, and carries the letter against a series of rubber wheels or feed-rollers. The wheels on the right of the path of the letters revolve swiftly towards the printing-roller, while those on the other side of that course turn slowly in tha opposite direction. The letters are thus separated, and sped quickly forward one at a time to the printing die, which is self-inking, and normally out of the path of the moving mail matter, and which is controlled by a lever in that path. Each letter in its passage along the feed-bed of the machine strikes this lever, which instantly brings the printing die into contact with the envelope, cancelling the stamp and imprinting the post- mark.

A GRIEVANCE. I HAVE a grievance to air. The first bis reference to "wheelmen," as they are now sometimes termed. I have nothing to urge against cycling when indulged in under reasonable conditions. I regard it in fact as one of the most enjoyable and beneficial means of travelling, and the cycle itself as a boon to mankind. The patrons of the machine, however, have become so numerous that in the absence of a lighted lamp or a signal from a gong the pedestrian at night runs great risk of serious accident in the streets of Cardiff when the reckless rider of tbe "safety" in out for a run. What I want to know is why the cyclist in Cardiff is allowed with impunity to neglect to light his lamp or to ring his bell, and allowed to put on the speed to any extent, while in Newport and other towns such neglect would be speedily taken cognisance of by the police ?

MR GLADSTONE AND THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE. [" DAILY NEWS TELEGRAM. I PARIS, Thursday Night.—The morning paperi in general eulogise Mr Gladstone's article in The "Contemporary Review." The Libtriidiscusses it at length, and gives it warm praise. It thinks it out of the question for anyone but Mr Gladstone to have written the article. In any case, it says, the tone and style and manner of dealing with the European chessboard are statesmanlike. If Italy is treated with rough sincerity, it is also the object of warm affection. ROME, Thursday Night.—The article on Italy and the Triple Alliance published in the" Con. temporary Review has naturally attracted the greatest attention here. It is thought that justicy is not rendered to themotives which induced Italf to enter the Alliance. It is remarked that since 1870 France has systematically opposed Italy not only in her foreign policy and in her attempts to extend her commercial influence, but has evep attempted to create internal difficulties blÍ lending clandestine support to the Vatican and to the Ultramontane party. Such being the ca3e, it was at least excusable, if not justifiable, that Italy should accept Prince Pismarck's out, stretched hand. Public opinion is, however, be ginning to be disillusioned as to the Triple Alliancet and to find out that it has its drawbacks. Only lately Senator Facini published an important article on the question in tho NuovA Antologia, maintaining that the only foreign policy Italy ought to follow was that of the most absolut* neutrality. The Fanfulla publishes a leader or the article in the "Contemporary Review," ex. pressing satisfaction at Mr Gladstone's having, as it says, denied the authorship of it. Mr Gladstone," says the Fanfulla, has, by th. immense service he rendered Italy, an un deniable right to -gratitude of all Italians. Had he, therefore, really been tti4autlior of thr. article, some expressions contained in it would have deeply wounded the national sentiment, and we are therefore heartily glad to bear that he it not the author."

M. ZOLA ON PRESIDENT CARNOT. ["DAILY NEWS" TELEGRAM.) PARIS, Thursday Niglit. M. Zola has 81:' pressed himself as well satisfied with the on the ground that artists and literary men have much to gain by quiet times. He attributes th« result of the vote of the 22ad to the astounding success of the exhibition and the wise conduct of the President, who is, in his opinion, a model man, and exactly fitted for the place be fills. M. Zola says "He treats seriously the social dutie. of the Presidency, and sees the importance of seeming trifles. He goes to every fAfce, to every inaugural ceremony, and is by nature correct; and be quietly puts up with being bored. He gets in nobody's way and excites no jealousy, and, though a little solemn, is affable. Of all the mud that has been thrown, none has been flung at him, His neat frock-coats are just as clean, metaphori- cally speaking, as his hands. As for Madams Carnot, she is simply perfect in her sphere."
