It can have been with no enviable feelings that the Chancellor of the Exchequer rose to make his Financial Statement on Thursday last. The days of peace and prosperity, when Liberal Chancellors of the Exchequer were embarrassed with surpluses are past; and in their place are wars and prepara- tions for wars on a scale that has brought the Government to the necessity of 'having to cope with the largest deficit the nation has suffered from since the Crimean War. This deficit, in round figures, is, according to Mr Childers's rec. koning, fifteen millions; but in putting the total so high he has indulged in a little straining after effect, for on the basis of the taxation in force at the close of the past financial year, the deficit is not much more than thirteen millions, and, except for the sake of making a sensation, we fail to see why the extra penny laid upon the Income-tax last November was left out of the reckoning. The lesser total is, at all events, bad enough, and diffi- cult enough to face-the more so as what may be called the normal expenditure of the country mounts steadily in volume every year. In the first year of the present Ministry's tenure of office the total expenditure was something over eighty-three I millions. For the year just ended it was eighty- I nine millions, and deducting from that total three millions for wars, the five years exhibit an increase of three millions in the ordinary demands of the public Exchequer. For the current year, without taking account of the Vote of Credit, the total ex- penditure will, it is estimated, almost reach eighty- nine millions, which is about six millions more than it was in 1880-81. No Chancellor of the Exchequer of this generation, has had to deal with such an enormous outlay as that which Mr Childers had to provide for. Adding the Vote of Credit to the other requirements of the Adminis- tration, the total almost touches one hundred millions. What makes the situation all the more difficult is the inexpansiveness of the Public Revenue. Neither Customs nor Excise, which form "the. great permanent gauges of the national prosperity, have displayed elasticity for years past, and Mr Lowe's declaration that the nation had drunk itself out pf debt no longer applies. Addi- tional burdens have therefore to be met by fresh taxes, or by additions to the Public Debt Accordingly, the Income Tax, upon which Finance Ministers have mainly, if not wholly, relied for assistance in recent years, has averaged fivepence and eight-tenths of a penny in the pound during the past five years, as against threepence in the preceding five. No matter whether it was a finan- cial coup de main-like the transformation of the malt tax into a beer duty—or a little war that was in question, it was to this support that the Govern- jnent of the day looked. And so accustomed have the present Government become to view the Income Tax as their mainstay in all times of dis- tress, as well as in meeting the sudden calls of Imperial policy, that Mr Childers treated the five- penny rate as the normal cne in time of peace. It was twopence when the Liberal Party went out of power eleven years ago, it is eightpence with the same party in power in 1885. .0.

CONCERT.
CONCERT. Last Monday, at the Assembly Rooms, a pleasant evening was spent in listening to a concert got up by some local amateurs in aid of the committee for the Dog Show of last year. The amateurs were assisted by Miss Jenny Price, R.A.M., whose singing was so much appreciated by the audience that she was obliged twice to consent to the demands of enthusiastic encores. The songs, duets, and instrumental pieces, were all well executed, and where all were so good it would be invidious to select any for special paise. It is enough to say that our well-known favourites sustained their reputation. The only matter for regret is that the attendance was only small. We are afraid that good music will not in Tenby draw good houses, and if Tenby really will not support good music, it may be that those who have hitherto against hope tried to educate its taste in this respect, will give up their task in despair.

TENBY MUSICAL SOCIETY.
TENBY MUSICAL SOCIETY. The second concert by the Tenby Musical So- ciety was given in the Royal Assembly Rooms on Thursday evening, the 30th inst. We regret the attendance was not such as the merits of the enter- tainment fully deserved. The programme was well selected-perhaps a little too long-but alto- gether it was the best concert we have yet had from the Society. Hard work, persistently fol- lowed, must have been maintained during the winter, or the class could not have reached the satisfactory condition it was in on Thursday, and it must be a source of much satisfaction to the con- ductor, to know that his efforts were so successful. The selection of "The Rose Maiden" was an im- provement upon Brion's Marathon," rendered by the Society in December last, inasmuch as it was better suited to the composition of the class. The first part opened with the cantata, "The Rose Maiden," written by F. Cowen, a composition full of bright and sparkling music. From the argument we learn that the Queen of the Flower Fairies, weary of a life of unbroken calm, prays of the newly returned Spring that he will bestow upon her also the gift of love that he bestows upon man. He warns her of the risk she runs, but finally yields to her entreaties by changing her while she sleeps, into the form of a beautiful girl. Under the name of Roseblossom, she wanders through the world to find the love that she seeks, and meets with a girl who, having been betrayed and deserted by her lover, loses her senses and dies broken hearted. But, undeterred from her search, Roseblossom be- comes the wife of a forester, with whom she lives for a time in such perfect happiness that she can- not survive his death. The elves bewail the fate of their Queen, and curse love as fatal to peace and happiness. The soloists were :—"Roseblossom," Miss Annie James; "The Gardener's Daughter," Mrs Gordon Leslie; "The Forester," Mr P. G. Harris; "The Spring," Mr J. R. Rowlands and Dr. Knowling. Miss Annie James, who had been specially engaged to take the part of "Roseblossom," possesses a powerful soprano voice. She sang her solos in a charming manner, the audience testifying their appreciation by frequent applause. Mrs Leslie was in excellent voice; and Mr P. G. Harris, Mr J. R. Rowlands, and Dr. Knowling, fully main- tained their old reputation as capable soloists. The choruses went exceedingly well, especially the last one, and was a marked advance upon the performance of the class when they last appeared in public. The second part opened with an overture by the orchestra, formed by the Pembroke-Dock Musical Society, assisted by members of the Royal Munster Fusilier Band, and was capitally rendered. Mr O. W. Rowland, of whose singing we have on former occasions alluded, sang "Trusty as steel," with good effect. Then came the chorus, May no rash intruder," from Handel's Solomon, a well balanced and striking composition and this in turn was followed by a solo from Miss James, Verdi's "Ernani," in which she obtained a well- earned encore. Mr J. R. Rowlands came next, with the new War Song, written by Mr R. J. H. Parkinson, and set to music by Mr W. T. Jenkins. Mr Rowlands sang in his. usual felicitous way, the chorus being taken up by the class. The song was well received, and the composer greeted with hearty applause. The orchestra then favoured the audience with a pretty waltz, the composition of Mr Hancock, the leader of the Band. Mr W. Davies Lewis, whom we are glad to welcome as an addition to our local amateurs, sang Cowen's "Never again." A solo by Miss James, "Laddie," sang with charming effect, brought the concert to a close, it being found necessary, from the lateness of the hour, to shorten the second part by the omission of a glee. The effective orchestral accompaniment was a decided, help to the satisfactory production of the cantata. We have already said it was made up by Mr Handcock's Band from Pembroke-Dock, and part of the Royal Munster Fusilier Band. The accompaniments were played by Miss Hall, of whose excellent playing on the pianoforte we have before made mention. The leader of the orchestra was Mr J. W. Hancock; violin obligato,- Mr James; and the conductor, Mr W. T. Jenkins, by whose care and skill the concert was conducted to a successful issue. The arrangements were carried out by Mr F. E. G. Brown, Hon. Secretary to the Society.
...-. WAR SONG.
WAR SONG. Arise 0 England rise and arm: be ready for the fray, As fought their sires in days of old, thy sons will fight to-day, For England's name, for England's fame, for England's honour fight, With strength as.,strong will crush the wrong, in might uphold the right. • Chorus—To arms! To arms let every patriot stand • With weapon firmly grasped in loyal hand7 Ready to strike, at duty's high command, For Queen, for Honour, and for Fatherland. Arise 0 Scotland, rise in arms from mountain, loch, and glen, Send forth thy valiant citizens from busy hives of men The more the danger threatens thee, more fiercely comes the foe, More eagerly to battle will thy stalwart warriors go. To arms! &c. Fair isle our western sentinel, that bears the Atlantiq brunt Thy noble-hearted sons will stand with Britons at the front: Thine only jealousy to share with them that strive with thee Their equal courage, steadfastness, and t alm of victory. To arms! &c. The war-cry rings from hill to hill, n I'yliocs down th-- In trumpet-tones it calls to arms thy rurdy sons 0 Walofi; With Saxon, Scot and Celt who dwells beyond the briny foam, To fight for life and liberty, and the holy name of home. To arms? &c. And Thou. United Kingdom, now in truest union bound, Face but as one thy foes, and then nofoeinan will be found, For who would done attack if all shoulder to shoulder stand, And brave the worst for Honour's sake, a true united land. To arms! &c. Beyond the Kingdom's sea-girt walls thy gallant sons went forth, And built an Empire stretching far to East, West, South and North, O'er India's plains, in Canada, on every ocean track O'er vast Australia's island floats the glorious Union Jack. To arms! &c. Ye colonies who strong beneath your mother's wings have grown, Are standing now in manhood's powdt and vigour of your OWn The aid received in days of your ye gratefully repay, And help the land from which ye spring to face the foe to-day. To arm 8! &c. R. J. H. PAHKISrpON.
