THE FREE CHURCHES AT BARRY.
THE FREE CHURCHES AT BARRY. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-The Rev F. J. Beck at the diocesan con- ference at Newport rather understated the case at Barry. No less than 12 Nonconformist places of worship have been erected since the establish- ment of the Dock works—not nine, as reported— and there are also three other buildings in course of erection. Mr Beck also omitted to state what is even more neglectful on the part of the so-called "National" Church in this new district, viz., the almost total absence of accommodation for the Welsh-speaking community, which numbers pro- bably one-third of the whole. While the Noncon- formists have built no less than six Welsh chapels, all of which are in a flourishing condition, the Establishment at the present time holds its only regular Welsh service in a small room at the back of an hotel Truly, Barry is ample proof of the voluntary system for providing places of worship but what a sad commentary upon those who profess that the Church in Wales is the Church of the people. Were the Church disestab- lished she would be of ten times more use in Barry than éhe is at present with the State chains girt round about her.—I am, &c., Barry, Oct. 2. FREE CHURCHMAN.

Your correspondent says that a gentleman from Worcester was one of the ringers of the touch of 168. I j.ay that a gentleman from Penarth was there.

MR ABEL THOMAS, M.P., AND…
MR ABEL THOMAS, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. TO THE mJITOR. SIR,—On behalf of an indignant majority, I claim space for the following. A few of the temperance party, who appear to sacrifice reason and equity on the altar of zeal and prejudice, accusc our respected member, Mr Abel Thomas, of inconsistency, and the foremost of these is Rev Towyn Jones, who, during the past week, has been most assiduous in sowing the seeds of discord, strife, and contention. At Ammanford, on the 21st inst., he having been requested to second a vote of thanks to the chairman, he rose and, in an excited harangue, characterised, to say a'. the least, by an utter want of taste, accused our member of the most serious neglect of duty, the most glaring inconsistency, and an utter disregard of the true principle of political life, viz., ''the sacrifice of principle to policy." Now, sir, in the face of those serious charges, one of two things must be done. If guilty, Mr Abel Thomas must immediately apply for the Chiltern Hundreds but if not guilty, the ilsv Towyn Jones should be compelled to resign his position as secretary of the Amman Valley Association, and should be branded with the brand of sedition and betrayal. The supposed proof of Mr Thomas's incon- sistency is his acceptance of briefs for publicans. Before his final selection by the constituency, he distinctly stated "that he was not an abstainer, but he believed 111 Local Option, and would pro- mote that bill to his utmost ability." What is Local Option? Is it notsimply the government of the people by the people? Now what connection is there between appearing on behalf of publicans and tlie principle involved in the support of that Bill ? Instead of being inconsistent, Mr Thomas could justly be charged with inconsist- ency if he refused to accept the briefs. Then he would be untrue to himself. Because he has the courage of his convictions, Mi' Janes, forsooth, parades as the keeper of the conscience of the constituency, and strains every -tiorye to produce dissension and confusion What is his object ? Is he desirous of creating a second Merthvr ? If so, the contempbble tactics pursued by him dur- ing Mr Thomas's tour may be explained. I should have thought that with the knowledge of his actions when the present member was accom- panied by another in addressing the constituency so vivid in our minds, he would have had the decency to seek for some weapon other than incon- sistency. Perhaps he is able to explain his con- sistency in supporting a brewer. The part played by the reverend gentleman in the cruel attack upon the lato Mr Pugh is not quite buried in oblivion, and if he does not desire that his labours in the pulpit should be useless the sooner he makes his exit from the political platform the better. Mr Abel Thomas may be assured that the rank and file of the constituency appreciate his abili- ties, his consistency, and his self-sacrificing efforts on their behalf. The only exceptions are the wire-pullers, led by the Rev Towyn Jones, and a few score youths. Let the honourable member visit Pontardulais, and he will receive such an ovation as will thoroughly convince him as to the opinion held by that portion of his constituency respecting him and the Rev T. Jones, and let Mr Jones also make his appearance.—I mn, ece., Pontardulais, October 25. T. WILLIAMS. P.S.—I should have said that I an; an abstainer.
SKY SIGNS AT CARDIFF.
SKY SIGNS AT CARDIFF. TO THE EDJTOK. I have been reminded forcibly of the maxim— Caelum ipsum pel-imus stultUia, and also filled with distress, at observing the dangerous sky-advertising just now being carried on in the midst of the town to the glory of a famous firm which purports to be the only one of its kind, though m closest proximity to many others equally eminent and conspicuous. The style of this firm is displayed at a great height (about as high as the house) above the roof opposite thy office on a va-t square framework of light iron, and at the present time men are engaged with ladders painting the gigantic letters, vliich swing in the wind, though the three rows of these again reach nearly as high, It is unhappily customary to defer remedying dangerous conditions to the public until someone is killed. And so here no one remonstrates that I know of—at least, no one interferes but were one of the poor men doing such perilous work to earn a living to turn giddy by a look downwards, were the ladder to get loose, or a strong wmd to arise and blow them down, there would be an outcry, and it would be felt that those workmen were sacrificed and placed in unwarrantable risk of life. Even if the men themselves are indifferent t iu. as to this, we are not justified in expostng them needlessly to it. In the interests of humanity, .surely it might be checked^ by those who interfere with less perilous anairs upon the streets. Should not these functionaries keep order in the sky, as well as on the pavement, now that we aspire to write our names-' and business in the quiet heavens above ? I am jealous for liberty, but we know above ? I am jealous for liberty, but we know it may be abuseo. I sometimes cannot out muse withm my- ) self and ask, in view of the vehement spirit of competitive rivalry in trade now every- where so sadly seen, if it is possible men so doing can go to places of worship and call those their brethren," or so meet then- whom they tnus seem bent upon ruining in mutual opposition liketnat of the beasts of prey. And I cannot see how this prevalent selfish spirit is justified by themselves, or why it is not strongly censured by the preachers—who should be the men amongst us calling ever to great principles and witnessing fearlessly to all truth, and profess to be thiz,-uniess it be because it would offend those capable of giving them chief support, and who are consequently selfish in the Church and in the world. Nor docs it less surprise me to contemplate the excessive advertising, so revolting and vulgar a feature of our time, disfiguring so hideously our once respectable and sober towns, and töecnlÏng to shock no one, however wildly garish, horribly hardening, or prurient it be. It seems re- markable that it should serve the use it does, since sensible people would not need to be told of everything, and would be unlikely to run where they were bidden blindly, or because a name met them everywhere in rude effrontery, or boosted for ilself But it is thus evidenced that the people is still what it was anciently described to be—variable and gullible, I fear; nay, the advertisers perceive it well, and, with disguised ridicule for their simplicity, often now address them in a fjtyle or by a method which seems such as could be used only to fools, and certainly would not be to the wise. Puerile advertisements insult the people—whether it be in mode or language; but they are the effect of there being read. An acrobat or clown could only go oil because men look at him it no one noticed his folly he would be ashamed of it.—I aii-i, &c., C. FOX. Cardiff, October 24th.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR. SIR, Had Mr Editor published the whole of the excerpts I offered him—the authenticity of which is at least provable—I question very much whether a Constant Reader would have been quite so charmed with my letter as he somewhat ironically professes to have been. I aip not particularly exercised as to the mere forms of religion, a.nd for aught I know to the contrary, those of the Church of Rome may be even more commendable than some of many other sects and denominations. What I am chiefly concerned about—as a freedom-loving Britisher—is the fast developing risk of our once I more suffering social and civil rights to be dominated by a priesthood whose functions ought to be purely spiritual. We are becoming dangerously accustomed and indifferent to arbitrary priests, who, evidently thinking that their word should be law, determinedly rule tha roost at vestry meetin,, and I certainly think that we should be on the qui vive to be quite sura that this is not the beginning of a very bad end. As late as 1883 numbers of Gospels were pub- licly burnt at Barcelona, wiiich act a Spanish organ named La, Handera Cutolicu, characterised as an auto clci ft precedaneous to a still more desir- able one. It would be more than interesting to know what trie "V atican, which governs the Holy Catholic Church, thought of this perpetration and the sentiments in unison with it. We might then be all the better able to appreciate the growth of such a delightful society in our midst The expressions of Cardinal Manning which I quoted seem to indicate plainly enough that such a consummation of the upper hand as he aspires to would never be accomplished by less forcible means. Why do Roman Catholics (it does not signify much in what part of the world, for they all owe allegiance to the same head) burn Christ's Gospel a.s an heretical book ? What substitute do they propose to offer for it ? If the Bible is un- true, I for one could certainly believe in nothing less valid As regards Rome struggling to get on to her legs, when I express myself allegorically, I do so with the natural conviction that the majority of my readers will not place a wilful misconstruction on my meaning, even if they have not nous enough to catch the sense of it. I do not base my Protestant principles upon the vagaries of anv man. Luther, for all I know, may have been nearly as bad as those Popes of Rome who committed infernal murders and atrocities under a pretext of furthering the cause of Christ, paramonntty the champion of love, mercy, justice, and peace, but I sincerely hope not, for his own sake. In conclusion, those who rejoice in their religions convictions, and wish to express them in public print, might at least have the courage to do so above their proper name, unless indeed the use of a nom de plume is another feature in Roman Catholic diplomacy which is binding upon its members.—I am, &c., F. B. JOHNSON. Penarth, October 24th.
TO THE EDITOR.
TO THE EDITOR. Siii,-Will you kindly permit me to correct a misprint that appeared in my letter-klr John,-oix and the Catholic Church—on Saturday ? I wrote: Luther arrogated to himself the power of God we "in allowing Philip of Hesse to take a second wife, etc." Your compositor makes me say, ";n alluring Philip of Hesse, etc." This very natural misprint makes the end of my letter blasphemous and his nonsense. Unfortunately I do not get your paper till a day after publication or I would have sent you this for Monday. Happily, anyone who is not absolutely ignorant of Luther's history would detect the misprint at once. With thanks for your kindness in inserting this,—I tin, &c. Oct. 25. A CONSTANT READER.

MINING ROYALTIES.
MINING ROYALTIES. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—From time to time, Royal Commissions and Select Committees are appointed to investi- gate subjects of more or less national importance. I, por They examine a cloud of witnesses, and collect a vast amount of evidence, which is straightway published in a Blue Book. But I am afraid that the results of their investigations are too fre- quently neglected and forgotten. Undoubtedly Blue Books are dry reading, but they often con- tain stores of valuable information, useful alike to commercial men and to reformers. Will you, therefore, allow me to cull one or two items which are buried in the first report of the existing Royal Commission on Mining Royalties ? They serve to show some of the ways in which the British mining industry is hampered by our present land system, which involves per- sonal property in minerals. As regards mine rents, there is a general complaint among lessees that they are not adjustable to the times. Many existing leases were drawn up when prices were high. The rents were therefore fixed accordingly. But for years there has been a more or less steady fall m prices, yet the rents can only be lowered by the landlord consenting to a reduction in his income. And to this he strongly objects. One instance was mentioned in which the royalty was lixeci at 7s a ton in 1873, when iron ore was sell- ing at 30s to 36s a ton. When prices fell to 14s the lease had to be abandoned, but not until the lessee had suffered very nearly, as may be imagined. As Sir Lowthian Bell, who is presi- dent of the British Iron Trade Association and of the Cleveland Mine Owners' Association, says "The owners of minerals are able, if they hold out for their full legal rights, to see all the capital of the tenant made valueless before the loss begins ins to fall on themselves in respect of the royalty." With respect to the surface way leaves, we find cases in which mining companies have to pay every year the full agricultural value of the land lying between the mine and the railway. One landlord charged,d a tcnp toil fop allowing coal to be carried across only 20vardsofhis land. When asked whether there were" any extraordinary circumstances to account for that charge," the witness replied, No. except that the man who pays it has no chance of getting out without pay- ing it; he is in a cleft stick." Over-paid rents are another cause of reasonable dissatisfaction. The Wigan Coal and Iron Com- pany, which is one of the largest producers of coal in the kingdom, has lost about £ 375,000 in this way, paying for coal which it was not able to get. On one lease they forfeited property worth nearly £ 16,000 rather than accept the onerous" proposals of tlie landlord. Such facts as these should make us consider whether, such an important industry as mining should b'e restricted by being treated by the landowners as a good-yieldingmilchcow. Business men can surely see the distinction between the coal and iron ore, which are the product of natural forces for countless ages, and the iron which is the outcome of human exertion applied to them. At least, this is a train of thought which will be started in many minds when the true relation of the landowner to the 111 ine workers is more clearly seen.—I am. &c., JOSEPH HYDER. Secretary. Land Nationalisation Society, 14, Southampton- street, Strand, London.
WELSH WITNESSES IN THE LAW…
WELSH WITNESSES IN THE LAW COURTS. TO THE EDITOR. SlE,—In your issue of the 23rd inst. there appears under the above heading a letter from Mr R. G. Cawker, Swansea. We may infer that his object in writing the letter is to take up Mr Abel Thomas, M.P., for saying at Ammanford that we as Welshmen had to put up with alien justices. I am not going to champion Mr Abel Thomas, but there is one thing in Mr Cawker's letter which affects me in common with every othei Welshman. After giving the following extract from your report of a case tried at the quartei sessions— Inspector Frederick James Jennings spoke to seeing the aopellaut ride out of the park at Aberdare at y rale of speed which witness calculated at upwards of 20 miles an hour.—Mr Arthur Lewis (for the respondent) You say lie was going over 20 miles all hour?-—The Iiispector Not over. I ,3ay "upwards" of 20 miles an hour. (Laugliter.)-itidge Williams ■ What do you mean -Tlie Inspector 1 mean from 15 to 20 miles an hour. (Reziewe(f laughter.) He says "it may fairly be assumed that the inspector of police at Aberdare is ? Welshman" and, further on, It is regretted that Judge Williams, who is a true Welshman, in asking him What do you meanshould not have put his question to him 111 Welsh, &c." Now, sir, I should like to ask Mr Cawker whav right had lie to assume that the inspector was 9 Welshman. His name certainly does not imply so, ana I see nothing in the evidence that would justify anyone in assuming anything of the kind, As a matter of fact, sir, the inspector is not s Welshman, and I question very much whether he understands one word of Welsh. Having re- ceived iSis information, will Mr Cawker now say, "It is regretted the question was not put in Welsh ?" Were it put in Welsh, the inspector would not understand it. I trust, for his own sake, Mr Cawker will be a .little mere careful about his facts before he rushes into print again, so as not to show up the ignoranc:, if ignorance it be—I would rather think the report was not correct—of his own countryman in a vain attempt to ridicule a peopla who are second to none in ei 1 10 intelligence. Thanking you in anticipation.— I am, &c., I. HARRIS. Aberdare, Oct. 24.

DEATH OF MR HUGH BEGG, CAERPHILLY. We regret to announce the death, which took place on Sunday evening, of Mr Hugh Begg, The Van Farm, Caerphilly, manager and pa.rt proprietor of the Dinas Islia Colliery, Pen- rhiwfer. The deceased was taken ill at the coiliery offices, Penrhiwfer, on Thursday last, suffering from inflammation of the lungs. The doctors advised that he should not be removed to Caerphilly. He rapidly grew worse, and died, as stated, at about half-past five on Sunday evening, Mrs Beg-g and other members ot the family being present at the time. Mr Begg. who was 63 years of age, was nlainager for many years of the Wern Ddu Colliery, Caer. philly. He was highly esteemed, and his death is much regretted. The ftineral will take place on Friday at Tonyrefail.

The tiger tamer Maxim, who was attacked by a powerful Bengal tiger and a hyena in a menagerie a week ago at Belgrade, has died of his wounds. TRUTH says" A speech delivered by the Roman Ca.tholic Bishop of Salford at a temper ance meeting at Ashton-under-Lyne was so sensible and moderate that it deserves notice The Bishop suggested that whilst strong- beers should be taxed, the sale of light beerc; not above a certain minimum strength should be encouraged by being freed from duty. This is a doctrine that I have always preached. It is indeed a pity that more temperance reformers are not as reasonable any as practical as the Bishop of Salford." A large measure of the success of the Golden Sun- light Ale may ba attributed to the fact that it is brewed on these lines, and will compare favour- ably with the ordinary high coloured, strong, heady ales. It is brewed from malt prepared from" the finest Herefordshire barley, and most deliedtelyflavoured with hops, called "Wor sters,' but really grown in the rich fertile valleys of Herefordshire. Messrs Watkins and Son, of the Hereford Brewery, are the only brewers of thi& famous ale, and it is sold by over 200 agents in the North, South, East, and West of the British Isles.
