The Merionethshire Eduoatiou Committee is now sattling down to its work under the new Act, and the members were engaged for a. considerable time last Thursday in the discussion of a variety of details which have oropped up, and which will continue to crop up for some time to come. The question of religious instruction was brought to the notice of the Committee by the Hon. C. H. Wynn, who has, given notice of a motion, the object of which will be te provide for uniform religious instraotion throughout the county. We believe the Authority will accept the motion when it is brought before them. It is sad to think that in many of the schools religion has not been taught under the School Boards, and we trust Mr Wynn's motion will have the effect of putting an end, onoe anil for all, to a state of affairs, the continuance of which oannot be for the good of the community. Mr Wynn did net state the terms of his motion but it may be presumed a committee will be formed to decide upon u syllabus. If that is so we can com- mend to their notice the syllabus recently drawn up by a committee of the Montgomeryshire County Council, as a baais upon which they might draw up a scheme suitable to the requirements of Merion- ethshire. *#» As in other Welsh counties the Merioneth County Council has refused to provide rate aid for the Voluntary schools. Without going into the merits of the Act, or the motives which are at the bottom of this policy, we must repeat the opinion already expressed in these columns that the no rate for Voluntary schools cry is a foolish one, bnd we are afraid the County Council will soon find it out. It has been the intention of tie Welsh County Councils that salaries of teachers in these schools, for which the County Council is certainly responsible, should be met out of the grants. That may be possible in some counties, but we gather that in this county the grants are net sufficient for the purpose. Con- sequently the committee found itself in a quandary, and a resolution was come to asking the County the controversy farther the discussion on the subjeofc was sufficiently pointed to show the absurdity of the County Council's action. The body legally responsible for the payment of the teachers' salaries is the County Council, and it will be interesting to watch how that authority deals with this trying point. We presume that any teacher whose salary is not paid can, if he or she likes, take proceedings and recover the amount from the Council in the County Court. Where will the Council get the money from ? V The long and bitter struggle in connection with the Bethesda Quarries has now oome to an end, and the victory falls to Lord Penrhyn. It is what every reasoning individual must have foreseen for more than a twelve month. Had it not been for the foolish bitterness which the men's leaders allowed to be introduced, we fully believe the quarrel would have been over long ago, and mneh misery would have been spared. So far as Lord Penrhyn is concerned the dispute has been over for a long time. His quarries have been working, not to the extent formerly sean, but sufficiently to meet requirements, and he is not prepared to take the strikers back in a body as, was done after the strike of six years ago. Some of the strikers are not to return, but we do not doubt that work will speedily be found for a great majority of the quarrynien still in the district. It is stated that on Monday some thirty to forty mell were taken on, and we hope to hear soon that the district is once again in a flourishing condition. »#* The special correspondent of the "Eolair" in Morocco gives some interesting details of Si Hadj Mohammed Torres, the Vizier, who for the last twenty-five years has bad charge of Sherifian relations with foreign. Powers, and who is said to have accomplished the impossible, in that he has never even momentarily forfeited the confidence either of the present Sultan or of his predecessor. The ease and grace with which he manages to preserve a masterly iinaotivity in the face of the most instant demands from foreign envoys has become almost legendary, as has his invariable reply when driven inito a corner-" I will lay it before his Sherifian Majesty," a process which takes as long a period as may be found convenient He still, despite his eighty years, preserves a marvellously clear brain, which finds expression in the animation which lights up his eyes when speaking. He is a. small man, with finely chiselled features, framed by a long white beard. His voice is soft and music al, and his dress is described as possessing the sojfrer elegance of good taate.

TRAGIC AFFAIR IN IRELAND.
TRAGIC AFFAIR IN IRELAND. A Belfast Correspondent telegraphs The town of Ballyclare, county Antrim, was on Tuesday plunged into excitement by the news that Mr W. J. Loughran, Secretary of the North of Ireland Paper Mills Company (Limited), had been shot during the night. Mr Loughran had two sons,, the elder of whom, John, aged about 21, had for some time past been a student at Queen's College,. Belfast, in pre- paration for a ministerial career. He was a well-known football player. It is conjectured tha his arduous studies in preparation for the coming examination had temporarily unhinged his mind, and it is thought, that, in a paroxysm of mental aberration, he seized a revolver, and proceeding to the bedroom where his father and mother were asleep, discharged a shot at each of them, with such terrible results that their lives are despaired of. He then turned the revolver upon himself and blew out his brains. The crime was discovered by the remaining brother of the young man.
