SOUTH WALES NOTES. rBY COSMOS.] A BHONDDA COLLIER'S GRIEVANCE. DEAR is sub jvdice, TbePermanent Fund officialscannot be blamed for any delay in ths matter. Legally the man is out of court. The local secretary, therefore, could not pay relief. As the rules had not been com- plied with, the local committee also were power- less. They pursued tho only course opsn to them by referring the case to the board of management. No meeting of that body has been held since the case came to hand. It is, however, on the agenda for consideration at the next meeting, which will shortly be held. If members fail to comply with the roles—copies of which areissued gratis -surely they should not blame the society or ita officials for any inconveaie-ice which may result from thuir own irregularities. Might I repeat that there has been no unnecessary delay on the part of the society in this case 1 The maohinery of a huge society, containing nearly 42,009 member", cannot be set in motion so quickly as a. small society con- taining 60 or 100 members. THE PLKA OF THO: WltLRH ARGONAUTS. THE Welsh Argonauts object to conforming to the deteriorating influences of civilisation. Free air and Romany liberty renderlthem impatient of re- straint. No wonder they decline to recognise the authority of the licensing law,"or of any other, for the matter of that. Citizens of the world they claim to be, and under no control except that which a cosmopolitan custom enforces. Evi- dently they believe in free trade—especially in beer. A bevy of them found themselves before the Penarth bench yesterday. Their defence may be described ancivi$mwndisum,aad in oonsequence they owed no allogiance to an insular power. Samuel Faulkner had been cheerfully disposing of malt liquor without even dreaming of asking the permission ot the Inland Revenue, much more thinking of paying them for the privilege, and two ladies and a younger man accompanied him to court, each on their own account, having com- mitted the same indiscretion. The first mentioned of these led off pleading in mitigation a command ment which is not in the decalogue, but which is ) an unwritten axiom in most strata of society, f viz., You must not be found out." H »w like a wild son of the W 6:!t it was. Mr Faulkoer stated with pride, nay, almost with arrogance, that he bad been running about the globe for the last forty years, and had never been caught before. He considered that, if anything could, would mollify the hard hearts of tLe magis- trates. Having delivered himself of this trium- phant confession, he paused with a smile of satisfaction and self-complacency on his coun- tenance to observe the effect caused. He thought that bard to beat, and he exposed his hand with perfect coDfidence. But however fully acquainted with the wiles of a mundane oareer, the waysaod sentiments of an e/de community were quite out of his ken. His offence was valued at £10. The other took up much the same line of defence. The widow bad a nomadic experience of thirteen years, and, to soften the punishment, she moistened her eyes and threw into the erratic scale something about being a lone widow. She saved £5 by this device. The others capftuUted after exhausting their forensic attainments, DANL IN THE LIONS' DEN. A DANIEL came to judgment yesterday at the Newport Police-court. This Daniel, far from being in any danger from fierce brutes, on the contrary is protected by a beast of prey in the shape of a bull terrier. Whenever Daniel takes his walks abroad he is accompanied by this dog, and as the master requires the whole of the pave- ment for bis peregrinations, he is not infrequently brought into contact with the pedestrians of the locality. When this happens he of the canine race takes the side of his patron and the rear of the enemy. No doubt, such devotion is touching, but it is not appreciated by those who experi- ence the effects. The attentions of a bull terrier may serve for the illustration of the affections of dumb animals as compared with the ingratitude of man, but when those attentions lacerate the feelings, together with the trousers, the moral to be extracted loses much of its pungency. The real truth is that Daniel is a thorough nuisance. He invites a quarrel, and then, afraid of the consequences, calls in the assistance of the cur. The dog certainly sets his owner a good example, for it does its duty re- gardless of result. That the magistrates thought fit to let the culprit off with a fine of half-a-guinea proves that the stimulus of a dog's teeth has not quickened their perception. Pity they did not encounter Daniel and the bull terrier. They would have reckoned the damage to frame and tailor at more than current coin of the realm. But Daniel was like the prophet. He Was placed in the lions' den, and got out comparatively un- harmed. OUR SAILORS' WIDOWS AND ORPHANS. THE sailor's occupation is necessarily a dangerous one, and notwithstanding the noble efforts of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and the excellent service they have rendered, there are still hundreds of our brave sailor lads who every year nnd a watery grave, and leava widows and orphans unprovided for. A bill has been intro- duced into the House of Commons by Colonel Hill and a few other members intended to relieve, at least to some extent, the sufferings of these widows and orphans. Though there is no chanCe of the bill becoming law this session, a short summary of its provisions will not be ont of place. It is proposed, then, to raise a fund for the benefit of the widows and orphans of seamen who lose their lives while in the British merchant service by accidental causes, such as drowning, wrecks, casualties, murder, or other homicide, or causes other than disease or suicide. To secure this fund, owners of ships will be empowered to deduct from the seamen's wages, and compelled to pay to the fund whether they deduct or not, a sum at tha rate of sixpence for every ten days of the voyage or period of service. In addition to rthis, the owners must pay an amount equal to one-third of this sum from their own pockets. For example, say that a Cardiff owner engages 12 neamen for a voyage or service extending over 60 days. He would have to pay to the fund sixpence for each man for every ten days—that is six, six- pences, or three shillings for each man, and as there arc twelve men would mean thirty-six shillings. This sum he could deduct from the sea- men's wages bat be would have to pay one-third of this sum, that is 12s, out of his own pocket, raising the total contribution for the voyage to The a dministratioJ1 of this fund would be vested in a central committee of thirteen, six elected by the masters, six by the seamen, and one by the Board of Trade. On proof of claim, a sailor's widow residen t in the United Kingdom would be allowed a pension of 5s a week while she remained unmarried and chaste, and each orphan would he allowed Is 6d a week until his or her fourteenth birthday. CRITICISMS. IT will be seen that the bill provides practically for the com pulsory insurance of seamen, their premiums being supplemented by contributions from the mas ters. I think it is only just and right that the men should have to contribute a certain amount towards the fund, and it is evident that if the scheme is to have general application, the men's contribution must be com- pulsory. Neither can there be two opinionsastothe necessity of compelling the owners to contribute. They reap the benefit of the peril undergone by the men, and suffer comparatively little loss in case of wrecks, as the loss is generally covered by insurance. Thus.wnile poor Jack Tar's widow and orphans are left totally unprovided for by the disaster which caused bis death, the owner gets recouped from the underwriters to the extent of his loss. Looking at the facts broadly, I should be inclined to say that one-third of the men's con- tributions from the fund is too small from the owners, and that a sum equal to that demanded from the men should be demanded also from the owners. This is, however, a point of detail which can easily be amended in committee. It is evident the bill has been somewhat hastily drafted. For instance, local committees are pro- vided for at certain ports to assist the central committee. "Every local committee," says the bill, "shall be composed of six members," and then it specifies that these six members shall con- sist of throe representatives of the owners, three representatives of the seamen, and one nominated by the Board of Trade. How the framers of the bill are going to compress these seven into six is not explained. The object of the bill is certainly a most worthy one, and deserves every support. I hope tbt from being simply a "bill," it will become an "act at a very early date. WKMH EDUCATIONAL ENDOWMENTS. TITKKE has just been printed a return of some interest and importance.

SOUTH MONMOUTHSHIRE LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. At a meeting of the council of the above asso- ciation, held at Newport on Saturday, under tho presidency of Mr M. W- Moggridge, the question of a candidate was incidentally mentioned, when it was understood that Mr Oliver Bryant would not again contest the constituency, as that gentle- man had been invited to contest another in the metropolis. The Chairman here invited the com- mittee to consider the advisability of selecting a working man candidate. However, the matter was adjourned until a future meeting. The reports tendered by various districts relative to the condi- tion of the constituency were considered satisfac- tory. A committee was appointed to bring up a report on the question of the financial condition of the association, and also upon the general interests of the organisation. It was stated that the financial outlook was fairly good.

ALLEGED THEFT BY A MONMOUT& COLLIERY OWNER. George Powell, describes as a colliery owner, of the Lane End, near Coteford, surrendered himself on bail, before Mr W, G. G. Griffin and Mr Thomas James, at the borough police-court, charged with having ou Saturday, the 20th inst., at Monmonth, stolen a five p.,ulld note, the property of Mossrf Baily and Sou. On the day in question, Alexander Williams, in the employ of prosecutors, was given the note to procure change, and dropped it in Monnow-street. Prisoner found the note, and converted it to his own use, having purchased a leg of mutton from Mr Kdwarrl Lewis, butcher, tendering the note in payment. The note was traced by the police, and accused was arrested at his home on Satur- day night.—The bench, after carefully consider- ing the evidence, discharged the accused.
BDEATH OF MRS ANN THOMAS.
BDEATH OF MRS ANN THOMAS. This lady, who died at Plymouth, her birth- place, a few days ago, in her 79th year, was the widow of Serjeant Thomas, a well-known advo- cate, who was concerned in the defences of Frost, Williams, and Jones, the Newport Chartist rioters. When Serjeants' Inn was dissolved Mrs Thomas was presented with £600 as the widow of a serjeant, of which mention is made by Serjeant Ballantine in bili "Reminiscences." Until within a few weeks of her death be was a contributor to literary journals on questions of technical interest, and was meditating notes on the various editions of Burns'is poems, which she considered Englished and corrupted. Serjeant Thomas was the last of his family, as she was the last of hers. She leaves three sous—one a solicitor and author, one at tho Bar, and one a painter and an exhibitor in the Royal Academy.

- THE OPENING OF ROATH DOCK.
THE OPENING OF ROATH DOCK. THE ORDER OF PROCESSION. OFFICIAL PROGRAMME. In performing the ceremony of opening the dock the Earl of Dumfries will press a lever, which has been specially made for the occasion. This movement will set in motion the hydraulic machinery connected with the gates, and cause the latter to open. Thereupon Messrs Morel's vessel, the Ninian Stuart, which has been lying outside for several days past, will enter the dock free of dues, at the same time snapping asuuder a long string of ribbon, which, with a bunch of flowers in the centre, is to be hung across. An enclosure, from which a good view of the ceremony may be obtained, is to be reserved for those having luncheon tickets or special permits. Amongst those present at the ceremony will be the following gentlemen, who are to be Lord Bute's guests at the Castle Lord Edmund Bernard Talbot, the Hon. Henry Dudley IJvder, Mr Dalrymple, M.P. Mr Frederick Pitman, and Mr Sueyd, formerly private secretary to the Marquis of Bute. Mr Dalrymple was on Monday escorted over the docks by Sir W. T. Lewis, managing director of the Bute Dock Company. The Drill-hall, in which a luncheon supplied by Gunter is to be partaken of at half-past one, is now undergoing a transformation under the skil- ful hand of Mr W. C. Penn and a large number of assistants. Its approach has been entirely placed under canvas, the exterior of which is decorated with bannerets of different colours. Within, a profusion of gay bunting meets the aye, and almost every inch of the walls has been decorated. From the rafters and roof large banners hang down at intervals, aud beneath, long festoons have been interlaced from wall to wall. The gallery is com- pletely hidden by bunting of red and blue, while crimson curtains have been, placed before each door leading into the hall. The tout ensemble is exceedingly attractive, no pains having been spared to adorn the room in a style worthy of the occasion. On the occasion of opening the new a train of coals will run down from the Bute Colliery, Rhondda Valley. This will be the first loading. The train will steam down on Tuesday (tJ-day), and will be decorated with bunting. The following letter has been forwarded to the members of the Cardiff Town Council :— DEAR SIR, OPENING OF ROATH DOCK. CUTTING FIRST SOD OF NEW PARK. The following are the arrangements, so far as they C;1i1cern the Corporation, for the above occasion, on Wednesday next. the 24th inst. :— Members are requested to be in attendauce at the Town Hall punctually a.t 8.45, where Carriages will be waiting to join the Procession of Frienily and Trade Societies, which will start a.t 9 a.m. sharp, and proceed to the new Roath Dock by way of Castle-street, Hih. strtiet, St. Mary-street, Custom House-street, and Bute- street. After the ceremony of the opening of the dock carriages will be in waiting to convey members to the Drill Hall. At 3.30 p.m. carriages will be in waiting at the Drill Hall to convey members to the site of Roath Park. where, after the ceremony of the cutting of the tirst sod is completed, they will he in attendance to convey members back to the Town Hail. By direction of the Roath Park Committee I enclose you three tickets, entitling the holders to admission to the reserved stand upon the occasion of the cutting of first sod of the new park by the Most Honourable "the Marchioness of Bute. You will observe that these tickets are in addition to your invitation for the plat- form.—Yours faithfully, J. L. WHEATLEY, Town Clerk. Town Hall, Cardiff, 20th August, 1887. At a meeting on Monday between the Mayor of Cardiff (Sir Morgan Morgan), Sir W. T. Lewis, and the representatives of the friendly societies and the trades' council some important alterations in the arrangements were made. It was decided that the various friendly societies should start from the Cardiff Arms Park at 8.30 a.m., punctually, preceding the mayor and corporation, who will be followed by the trade societies, and it is earnestly requested by the committee that all members will make it a point to be in time, and turn out in large num- bars. On arriving at the dock the friendly societies will take up their position on the south side of the dock, and the trades will form up on the north side. After the dock opening refresh- ments will be provided free in Cathays Park to aU taking part in the procession. After luncheon the processionists will re-form and proceed to Roath Park to witness the sod-cutting. The change in the time of starting is necessitated by the fact, that, otherwise, atleast one half of the proceElsion would not witness the ceremony of opening the dock.
IRISH OPINION OF THE NATIONAL…
IRISH OPINION OF THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD. The current issue of the Celtic Times contains the following remarks on the Welsh national festival:—"The Eisteddfod held last week at the Albert Hall in London was, on the whole, fairly noticed by the London press. It was, however, little patrouised by the London public. The Welsh may take this lesson well to heart, that the English public think more highly of a show from the Wild West,' with its Indian yells and buffalo hunters, than of a Welsh national enter- tainment that has for its object the cultivation of literature and music among the people. They may well take consolation from this fact in preserving their venerable institution. They are, in true artistic feeling, leagues ahead of their English neighbours. On Wednesday there was a full attendance to witness the chief choral competition. The adjudicators took about half an hour to decide. During this interval the old Welsh National song, The Land of My Fathers," was given from the platform. The audience immediately arose en masse and joined in the chorus. It was then that to Englishmen the chief revelation of the eistedd- fod took place. Never before bad the walls of the grand hall re-echoed such a volume of sound, full and sweet with all the harmonies. A multitude of haarts and voices were moved by one mighty impulse — love of country. The great building, somewhat wanting in acoustic principles, not dull nor deaf to the surging music. It gave back strain for strain. The competing choirs had for the time withdrawn, but they would have sunk into insig- nificance except as parts of a great whole. The grand choir was singing for a whole people-nof, to a limited audience! The language was that which C»sar heard when, before the Christian era, he was repulsed from British shores. The song was one that in the remote past had its birth, to live as long as the language. I That it was wisdom to remove the eisteddfod from its home amid the mountains to the English metropolis has been questionable from the first. Now it is more doubtful. The English, by their absence, said plainly they did not want it. For the few Welsh in London who benefited by its coming to them, there are the many to endure its loss to the principality. But the series of meetings will not be soon forgotten by the few Londoners wno attended them, nor by the many who road of them in their papers, several of which, reluctantly, had a few good words to say of an institution whose magnitude they were forced to behold. Truly, the Prince of Wales lent the lustre of his presence to the proceedings. This was complimentary of the Prince. It would have bean more complimentary for him to have gone to Wales. And this feeling his speech re- veals. He has certainly taken long enough to consider whether he should ever consent to iden- tify himself with the national will, which in the eisteddfod finds expression, and which, while princes come and go," may be said to run on for ever" in this noble and time-honoured institution. While the eisteddfod preserves its present vigour the Welsh tongue will not be in much danger. It has had its periods of strength and weakness, wakefulness and sleep. It has been in its present healthy state ninety-nine years. Its existence is pre historic. From the platform of the eisteddfod we were told, with much emphasis, that it was not political. It is more. It is not a place nor a means for fighting political duels nor for carrying on party warfare. It is a reflection of nationality and nationality is greater than politics. No, the eisteddfod is not political, but so long as it exists will it be an obstacle to any political faction that would sacrifice Welsh nationality. To a nation it cannot too often be said :—Preserve your language and your traditions. Above all, re- member that it is only the enemies of your race who will tell you that your time would be wasted in learning your own language. Let Ireland emulate Wales in her eisteddfodau. Despise not smali beginnings. Sow seed for the future by doing something in the present.
ASSAULTING A WHITCHURCH PUBLICAN.
ASSAULTING A WHITCHURCH PUBLICAN. At the Llandaff petty-sessions, on Monday before Mr C. H. Williams (Roath Court) and Mr Evan Lewis-Davey was digged on a. war- rant with assaulting George Steele. Complainant, for whom Mr G. David appeared, said he was a farmer and publican, residing at Whitchurch. On Saturday, August 6th, he was driving home from Cardiff, accompanied by his sister, when de- fendant and a man named Xiuatuian (who is "wanted" for the afiau, but is still at large) drove up to them, and wanted to sell him (complainant) a horse. Wit- ness refused to i«irchase the animai and drove on, whereupon Eastman aud defendant came after him and contrived to get their vehicle inter- locket! with that of complainant. Davey then in- locked with that of complainant. Davey then in- dulged in a quantity of bad language, and pre- sently raising his whip struck witness several blows on the head with the butt end. They both jumped out and fought, and in the course of the scuffle complainant was very badly handled. Miss Steele (compiainant s sister) and a man named Oliver gave corroborative evidence.—Mr Frank H. Williams, solicitor, Cardiff, who appeared for the defence, called no witnesses, and prisoner was sentenced to two months' bard labour, the chair man telling him be had committed a bad offence, and he might consider himself lucky in not being I committed to the quarter sessions.

TOBACCO CULTURE AT CARDIFF.
TOBACCO CULTURE AT CARDIFF. Mr W. Treseder, a well-known florist and nur- seryman of Cardiff, is engaged upon an experi- ment which will be watched with the keenest interest by many persons resident in this locality and South Wales generally. He is trying his 'prentice hand, so far as this plant is concerned, at tobacco culture, and he has had no reason to complain of the success which has attended hit efforts. It j,, no doubt, pretty generally known that the growth of tobacco in any part of Great Britain has, until about a year ago, been abso- lutely forbidden, the laws prohibiting its home growth having been passed in the reigns of Charles II., George III., and William IV. According to an article which appeared in a publication devoted largely to the interests of agriculture in tha mouth of April, 1886, the act of Charles II. was passed when Virginia and Maryland jointlyshipped to England an animal average of 96,000 hogsheads, valued at £768,000. In 1831, whfn the final law respecting tobacco-growing was passed, the diffi- culty of adjusting the revenue was one of the principal reasons given for continuing the restric- tive policy. As stated in the current issue of "Glenny Garden Almanack," it is just the diffi- culty of adjusting the revenue that prevents the free and untrammelled growth of tobacco in this country. The revenue derived from tobacco forms a considerable item in the Customs duties, as may be realised when it is remembered that the total quairtity of tobacco, unmanufactured and manufactured, imported into the United Kingdom in 1885 amounted to 83,370,596Ibs.. at a value of £3,847,280. The tobacco plant for commercial purposes was years ago grown in Scotland, as weil as in different parts of England and Ireland, and sold at a rate which proved remunerative to the grower. Scotland and Ireland were so far favoured that the statutory prohibition against its culture was taken off for a time, while in England it has always continued in force. Last year, however, Lord Harris, then Under- Secretary for War, suggested the revival of tobacco-growing as a British industry. His sug- gestions to the Government were that the restric- tive acts should either be repealed and an excise duty equivalent to 3s 6d in the £ be put on home-grown tobacco, and the British farmer be left to himself to see what he could do; or if the Government thought that was too hurried a step, he suggested that, without repealing the acts, a certain number of experiments should be authorised in England and Ireland, the area of each experiment to be limited, a registration fee to be paid, and a report of results to be sent in to the proper persons. The latter alternative was accepted, and an experiment in tobacco-growing was soon afterwards made by Messrs James Carter end Co. Lord Harris and several others also planted experimental crops. The spot selected by Messrs Carter and Co. was at Plaistow, in Kent, The substantial security given by Messrs Carter and Co. to the Inland Revenue department was j350, the cultivation being under one acre. The following is extracted from the Agricultural Gazette of October 11th, 1886 M If further evi- dence were necessary of the adaptability of the British climate to the growth of tobacco, it may be added that, during a late visit to Sweden, Messrs Carter's manager discovered considerable quantities of tobacco growing in the neighbour- hood of Stockholm. The geographical position of the British Isles compares very favourably with that of Stockholm." In spite of many disadvan- tages, the results obtained by Messrs Carter are said to have been excellent, and the whole of the produce was purchased by Messrs Cope, of Liver- pool. No such experiment, upon so large a scale as that of Mr Treseder at Llandaff, has, to our knowledge, been attempted in this immediate locality previously, but last year some tobacco plants of a similar kind were raised, also, of course, as an experiment, at Margam, the resi- dence of Mr C. R. M. Talbot, and under the care of his gardener, Mr Muir. We are aware, of course, that other varieties of the tobacco plant are, comparatively speaking, in common culti- vation, and that they are of much utility for decorative purposes. Mr Treseder, however, has in addition now turned his attention to those par- ticular varieties which are cultivated for commercial purposes, and at the present time there are to be seen in his nursery at Llandaff about a thousand healthy and luxuriant plants raised this season. Selecting seeds specially recommended as the best, having regard to the peculiarities of the English climate, the plants were raised in about 70 degrees of heat, and when they had been pricked out they were nursed and brought on in one of Mr Treseder's greenhouses on the Cowbridge-road, Canton. At Llandaff Mr Treseder has a nursery of about 16 acres, and there be chose, for the further development of the plants, a spot having a south-west aspect and in almost close proximity to the river Taft Upon this particular piece of ground a crop of celery was raised last year, and the ground was therefore already heavily manured, and trenched deeply. The rich sandy loam there appeared to afford a promising soil for tobacco culture, and about the third week in June several perches were devoted to this pur- pose. Five kinds were planted, viz., Big Frederick, One Sucker, Connecticut, Ken- tucky, and Conn. Seed-Leaf. The plants were placed about three feet apart, and experience has shown that the distance should have been greater, for the plants have grown until, in many instances, they touch each other—an obvious disadvantage. Still, they have thrived in a very satisfactory manner, and in respect of colour and vigour they present a most encouraging and promising appearance. The hot and dry weather experienced this year has, no doubt, contributed materially to the success of the experiment, and some of the plants are already as much as 4 ft. in height. The frost is the greatest danger to be averted, and hence, so soon as that enemy is anticipated, the plants will be pulled and bung in a barn to dry. Of course, the Inland Revenue officers are fully cognisant of all that Mr Treseder is doing, and, in fact, some of them have paid several visits to the nursery upon the subject. It remains to ba seen to what extent the present experiment would warrant •» further trial in the event of the restric- tion now imposed by the Government upon the cultivation of tobacco in England being removed, in which case Mr Treseder, who, besides the nursery at Llandaff, has one of equal proportions at Whitchurch, would, it is expected, consider the desirability of turning his attention farther t< the subject.
A JUBILEE OFFERING.
A JUBILEE OFFERING. DEFENCE OF THIS ALLEGED TITHE RIOTERS IN NORTH WALES. TO THE EDITOR. SIE,—I have received the following letter from the secretary of the Pembroke Dock Junior Liberal Association, which I think should be read by all Welsh Liberals. I hope the worthy example set by these thoroughgoing Liberals will be adopted by every Liberal and Radicaj association and club in Wales. It would be well if at every meeting of Liberals convened a collection were made on behalf of these defendants who are being perse- cuted and hounded by a Tory landlord magistracy, aud if some such method of collecting subscriptions f »r such a good cause were adopted in every town and village in the principality, tbe tithepayers might be strengthened in their action for refusing to pay tithes tor other than national purposes.— I am, *c., RICHARD N. HALL. [corY. ] From B. Reynolds (secretary), Pembroke Dock. f J §reat pleasure of forwarding to you an enclosed order for £ 3 3s, to be devoted to the tithe moment m North Wales. On the appeal being made through the South Wales i *or funds, a few of tne members of the Junior Liberal Association undertook to collect .sub- scriptions on the jubilee system, viz., by not asking irom anyone more than 3d down to Id, ØQ you may see tha. a large number have subscribed, thus showing their practical sympathy with tbe tithepayers of North Wales. I may mention that there have been a few Conservative subscribers, and very few, even of the latter, disapprove of the action of the tithepayers, especially those who are acquainted with the circum- stances, and the relation of farmers and clergy. Our appeal Wit. as follows: — co  Welth Jubilee Ofer ing. A subscription fund has been opened in Wales for the purpose of helping to defray the heavy expenses being incurred by the State prosecution of 31 farmers and labourers, who are charged with taking part in tho recent anti-tith* riots in North Wales. The Go- vernment haslresolvedI to remove the place of trial to the Queen's Bench, with the object of crushing the tithe movement, not only by entail insr expense, but also by getting an easy conviction by an English jury. All who sympathise with the few Welshmen who are fighting the cause of Wales, are requested to subsoribe (however little) towards sustaining this National move- ment."

-_._--,---h HYSTERICAL SENTIMENT.
--h HYSTERICAL SENTIMENT. YESTERDAY morning LIBSKI expiated his crime on the scaffold. And a very ordinary crime it was. It was the old tale of cupidity, and the sudden desire to murder developed by the situation. LIPSKI went into MIRI AM ANGEL'S room for the purpose of committing a robbery, and, finding himaelf discovered, promptly killed the witness by cruelly pouring down her throat a corrosive fluid. His confession makes this clear, though to reflective minds it was perfectly plain from the facts elicited at the trial. But there are many people who possess an innate dis- trust of circumstantial evidence, They can- not understand that a case which is pieced together link by link is far stronger than one which merely depends upon the nervous statements of spectators. Take anyoccurrence whichhasa tendencyto unduly stimulate the feelings, and see how many different versions of the affair will be forthcoming. This is but natural. Every person who is present will catch a partial view of the affair, and in the excitement of the moment will fail to retain a wholly truthful impression of the event. The mind, goaded to an undue exer- tion, will exaggerate some particulars, and entirely pass over in the hurry many impor- tant details. Thus it is that direct t(eati. mony is not so reliable as that of presump- tive. In LIPSKI'S case the facts were almost conclusive, yet the public, in spite of the ease with which the puzzle was put together, rushed off into all sorts of perplexities. They created difficulties where there were none, and the apparent perspicuity of the deed induced them to imagine that it was composed of nothing but occult incidents. In a room which ia locked on the inside are discovered two people. The woman is dead on the bed, undoubtedly killed by the administration of some acid. Farther search reveals a man who is insensible, bearing on his arms the marks of scratches, and insensible from the swallowing of the same fluid as the female. A bottle, which has contained nitric acid, is picked up in the room, and a tradesman deposes that a man answering LIPSKI'S description pur- chased it. What does any calm and im- partial judge gather from these facts. He comes to the conclusion that LIPSKI entered that room for some purpose, most pro- bably outrage, and on the woman objecting, murders her by administering a poison which he ia known to use in his business. Sup- position is also confirmed in this opinion by the scratches on his arms, such as would be inflicted by a female. Terrified at the awful act he had done, and afraid of detec- tion, he takes what remains in the phial, in the hope of perishing too. He who ran might have read this story, and both jury and judge experienced little trouble in unravelling the plot. But the hysterical people outside were not satisfied with this deduction. Sooner than accept such a ready explanation, they would manufacture any wild tale which in calmer moments they would have laughed to scorn. Had such pleas as were afterwards urged on behalf of the prisoner been put forward as evidence against him, they would have been promptly treated with ridicule. Why was it that LIPSKI was found in another man's bedroom with the door locked ? To account for it was easy. He went to the rescue of Mrs ANGEL, was overpowered, and the villains who carried out their nefarious design either escaped up the chimney or, in a house which was fairly inhabited, wasted valuable time in turning the key with a pair of tweezers. No trace of these men, however, could be discovered, although LIPSKI implicated them by name. Certainly the public had a fit of madness over this case. No conjecture was too absurd for credence the more it approached to lunacy the more it was believed. So the hunt after the chimera began, and that the Boojum turned out to be Snark is perhaps after all a matter for congratulation. Had LIPSKI been reprieved the consequences would have been very disastrous. Every trial which did not exactly suit the conceptions of the fanatics would have been agitated in the same blameable manner as this has been. It is no part of the press's vocation to act as amateur detectives. They are by no means fitted for the role. A reporter is extremely apt to tinge an account with the hue which he is aware the readers like, and is thus incapacitated from presenting that impartial view which is so essential to justice. We don't- for one moment intend to assert that a liner wilfully misrepresents that which he sees. On the contrary, we can testify to the unprejudiced opinion which he brings to bear upon most matters. Nevertheless, he is imbued, from the nature of his work, with a slightly unconscious bias which tends to coincide with the popular expres- sion. The agitation in favour was probably sustained to a great extent by those averse to capital punishment. How- ever that may be, there is no doubt that many joined in the cry for reprieve through dread of the awful consequences of a mis- take. That the law has committed no error is most fortunate. It is to be regretted that the fate of LIPSKI should have been invested with so much glamour and sickly sympathy, but after all the lesson learnt will not be without benefit. In future the public will nob be so prone to belled away searching for will-o'-the- wisps, but will deal with a case on its merits, and draw their own conclusions. Moreover, the exact confirmation of circumstantial evidence will do muoh to get rid of the dis- trust with which it is regarded. The confession of LUSKI has borne out almost letter for letter the solution of the problem as revealed in the law courts. LIPSKI'S intention, so he Bays, was not to outrage, but to rob, but the motive was of less importance than the act, and in the latter no mistake was committed by the judge or jury; upon it they placed a right construction. How they could have arrived at any other verdict is hard to determine. If fancy is to be an element in the decision of a trial, then good-bye to all justice. The jury must certainly dismiss from their minds all dreams of what could happen, and de- termine solely on the facts at their disposal. It is true that human judgment may err, but by following the safest plan the errors will be few, and this is all that can be hoped for. That this was proved in the LIPSKI case is a thing for which to be thankful.
