At the dose of the Kidwelly meeting, Lord Ninktn was asked whether he would kindly visit the consti- tuency again. Yes, was the reply, on one condition. Upon being asked what that condition was, his lord- ship replied that if he should be given the oppor tunity of calling upon Ted Cole. Who knows but that old Ted may yet wear a coronet? According to the Coroner for West Carmarthen- shire, the Irish people will soon be under Home Rule; at any rate, so he declared at the adjourned Cotywil inquest. The genial Coroner's district does not extend so far as Ulster, or probably he might be figuring as coroner at his own inquest after making such a statement. Although we do not agree with Ald. W. N. Jones' policy with regard to the formation of committees, we heartily endorse his remarks in connection with the village dramas. The County Council certainly ought to encourage every movement which has for its object the cultivation of talent, and judicious use of spare time. Those who labelled the Llandilo motion re the improved construction of the Education Committee as snap division have found that they viewed the question through green spectacles. In spite of a dogged persistency to cling to the select gather- ing," and in spite of every" assurance" that iheir doings were satisfactory, we are well on the road to equality here again. How can members repre- sent large areas when they are quite in the dark as to what takes place on the Education Committee? We do not suggest that wire-pulling is done, or that the old committee were not inspired by the best of motives, but there, everyone -concerned will now have a voice. Now that the constitution of the Small Holdings Committee has been changed in that the whole Council shall in future form the committee, one wonders whether its sphere of usefulness will be extended proportionately to its membership. It can hardly be the other way about. At any rate, there will now be more likelihood of the working of this very important committee coming under the Closer scrutiny of the whole Council as it never has before, although the minutes were always placed before them. By the by, why did Mr. John Lloyd flout the idea or representatives of industrial areas being on the committed Judging from the St. Clears case, which was quoted at the meeting, one would cer- tainly think that the working class,—who arc the most likely applicants,—should have a shout in the matter of administration. The operations of political Nonconformists would not be quite so offensive were they not garnished with >0 much smites self-righteousness and hypocritical superiority. Thank God that we are not like the Parsons!" The more successful the Nonconformist petition, the more slimy becomes the sentiment re- ferred to, and the more malicious. There is nothing in the chapel but pure religion, truth and honour, they say, while the Church harbours nothing that is pious and everything that is mean and dishonour able. Nothing is too despioable to say about the clergy or their work. But there are Nonconform- ists who think differently. In North Wales they included 29 ministers, 158 deacons, altogether over 15,000 Nonconformists. Those in South Wales who are joining them belong to the cream of Noncon- formity there, but, according to the writer of a letter elsewhere referred to, all these men are fools (men like the Corys, the Radcliffes, and other Cardiff merchants!) who have merely been gulled by the parsons! Carmarthenshire would know where to look for wisdom if it had to choose between the two. It is stated that Lieut. Lloyd Jones who per' formed such a sensational act of bravery and bull- dog endurance in British East Africa some time ago- and is quoted by all the English papers as an example of the survival of true British grit is—a Welshman I We also sometimes hear it whispered that those fellows who go down into burning NY, elsh coal mines. to do rescue work knowing that it is ten to one against their returning alive are Welshmen too! But people are net to be gulled in that simple way. Everybody knows -by now that Welshmen have not a. single virtue of any kind. If you have any doubts- about it lead what Mr. Crossland says about them. He is known to have stayed a whole week in a North Wales hotel and studying Welsh character, so he ought to know! Somebody brought a new oxidised watch into a snuggery behind the bar parlour crowded with jolly boys. He passed the watch round for inspection, and put it up to be raffled for at twopence a time. A stranger who was present finished his pint and with a good morning went cut and upon counting up' they found that had he stayed and joined in the pro. ceeds would have reached an even four shillings. Never mind," said the raffler, three and ten is good enough, and the money was handed over to. him. The raffle proceeded solemnly and was a great MiO.e?»s because the winner did not come out till the last draw, and his success was hailed with loud cheers. He himself was delighted and stood drinks round. Then lie asked tor the watch and there ensued a funereal silence. Oh! that stranger!
THE TALK IS: -'""
THE TALK IS: That there is a feeling of genuine grievance against the manner in which teachers are appointed in a certain Sunday school owing to the fact that rank outsiders (so it is said) are given preference over scholars who have attended regularly from their childhood. That a new steam lar.ndry is going to be erected in Priory-street in place of the Old Foundry." We were almost tempted to say" Good iron! but perhaps Good ironing!" would be more appro- priate. That Head Constable Mayall, of the Carmarthen: Borough Police Force, has been included in the- short list for the head constableship of Wigan, Lancashire. Mr. Mayall is a most conscientious official as Carmarthen can well testify. That if the Corporation of the borough cannot see its way to remedy the shameful condition of the Pond-side, near the old Tinworks, cannot the Council compel the owner or owners of this property to do so. The present state of the footpath is a disgrace to any town. The mud there is ankle-deep and the pathway is also dangerous to pedestrians.
THE PARLIAMENTARY MASHIttE
THE PARLIAMENTARY MASHIttE A THREAT AND ITS SEQUEL. THE EVENT OF THE WEEK. (By "Junius") House of Commons, Westminster. The political event of the week has been the crea- tion of circumstances which have necessitated the demand for a day to discuss a vote of censure upon the Government. Amongst the great mass o> moderate men at Westm:nster-and there is a con- siderable body of moderate men in the House—one finds an utter inability to discover adequate causes for the rapid change of atmosphere. A week ago the Prime Minister gave the impression that he, at any rate, was sincerely anxious to provide a foundation upon which a settlement might be laid squarely sooner or later. He was moderate in tone; he seemed to desire nothing more earnestly than to bring the two sides sides together in peace. Of course, there were deep mutterings throughout the rank and file of the Coalition. It was de- clared that everything had been surrendered. Still Mr Asquith and his immediate circle were supposed to desire to pursue patient tactics. As has been said, moderate men cannot conceive what has hap-* pened in the interval. THE BREAKFAST PARTY AND AFTER. Cynics point to that breakfast party at the Chancellor's house in Downing Street. All the Nationalist Chiefs were present It was said that they were invited to come to receive assurances that the Prime Minister had given out the last word. As a matter of fact, they asked for an inter- view with a representative Minister because they felt that too much had been offered to their oppo- "i?1 u V™ arral, £ °d Mr. Lloyd George should be the representative, and there is also authority for saying that Mr. Redmond went so far as to convey the intimation over the fried fish, that unless he had an absolute promise that no further "concession" would be made, he could not guaran- tee that his men would remain in strength at the House. This threat appears to have had an instan. tatieous result. At any rate, it became known in the course of the evening that Sir Edward Carson's counter-proposal would not be looked at, and that the old order of "full steam ahead" had once more been given. Even before this knowledge was gpuerally spread, a number of the Nationalists went off to Ireland in wrath, and Mr. Redmond had enough to do to persuade them to return. There appears to be no reason to doubt the accuracy of this account of the matter, and certainly in the absence of an official version it may be accepted with confidence as the explanation of the .speech made at Bradford by Mr. Churchill and of the refusal of Mr. Asquith to give his offer any seniblanct of reality. ASTOUNDING HAPPENINGS. What happened on Monday was astounding. By the Prime Minister's own desire a large number of questions were placed on the paper for that day All the questions were directed to the one object of ascertaining the details of the machinery by which it was proposed to carry out the no'licv nf temporary exclusion. To the astonishment of everybody, and, of course, to the hu-e delight the Radicals and the Nationalists, Mr A°squi"h declined to make any detailed statement. "Wc aro not prepared in these matters and at tJu'a c+o+ STdriS i?"pa!tho dclai1' anu dried scheme. But as was promptly pointed out, the details in this case are really" essential to any proper discussion of the treatment of Ulster. Mr. Bonar Law put it m this way: "If there is to be any debate at all 011 the second reading it would naturally deal with the new proposals of the Government. Does the right hon. gentleman mean to say," he asked, "that we are to engage in such a discussion without seeing the form those proposals are to take?" The only reply vouchsafed was this: If our general proposals are rejected it would obviously be a waste of time to enter upon the formulation or the discussion of the machinery" This followed upon another remark by the Prime Minister, that, certain points of nicchinerv were under consideration. IRRECONCILABLE. The one statement cannot be reconciled with the other. Here we are told, almost in the same breath, that certain things are being considered, and that the Government regards it as a waste of time to formulate any machinery. The only nossible com- ment w-is sharply made by the Ulster Chief. "Doea not the Prime Minister recognise," he said, "from the course he has now taken that the proposals he made last Monday were a hypocritical sham. Cor- nered in this way, Mr. Asquith declared that before going further he desired to know whether the principle of his proposal was accepted. Great was the Coalition cheering. They cheer best, however, who cheer last. Matters are moving quickly out of the hands of the Government. Throughout the country the uneasiness is growing, and one should not be quite confident that Mr. Asquith has actually
