THE BARROW ELECTION. Unquestionably the leading and all- absorbing topic in the political world during the last few days has been the Barrow election, rendered necessary by the acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds by Mr W. S. Caine, the Unionist member for the division. The Poll took place on Wednesday last, and the result, as reported in our columns, was declared late that night. That the Unionist party has lost one of its seats we do not think anybody will seriously care to deny,, but we confess ourselves utterly unable to see any legitimate cause for the wild exultation indulged in by the Gladstonians, over what they have temporarily gained through the misfortune of their opponents, unless it be that they are thankful for so small a mercy as a false victory. We contend that Barrow to-day, to all intents and purposes, is as decisively Unionist as it was in the General Election of 1886. That the contending forces were moved in the direction of Home Rule and anti- Home Rule is sufficiently established by the fact that Mr Gladstone himself urged in his letter all his followers at Barrow to support Mr Duncan's candidature, while Mr Caine, to the last, refused to be baited by the Home ¡ Rulers, aud in answer to the various questions put to him by wire, by letter, and by depu- tations, emphatically declined to espouse their cause, and went before the electors as in 1886, a supporter of the Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Mr Wainwright fought as an out and out Conservative, and secured no less than 1,862 votes, which, added to the 1,280. recorded in favour of the Liberal Unionist candidate, shows a force of 3,142 in favour of the Union, or a majority of 1,148 over the successful Gladstonian candidate. We do not affect surprise at the result of this election. It is generally the case that when one party, however strong and however positive its majority may be in a particular district, has the ill fortune of being divided in its sympathies and in its actions, the minority succeed in snatching a victory. Of such a nature was the accident at Barrow on Wed- nesday last. We C( nfklently believe that when the next gene-Mi election comes, the voice of Bai i-ow wil o ace mo *e be h<»ard in the councils of the nation ranged on the side of the Union.

THE PRIMROSE LEAG UE. All members of the Primrose League and our readers in general, will learn with deep regret that Capt. Jones-Parry, the able and indefati- gable agent of that powerful organisation in West Gwalia, has this week relinquished his appointment as such. Capt. Parry espoused the cause of the League in Wales at the time when its objects were but imperfectly under- stood, and interpreted with no small amount of scepticism, if not open hostility by the Conser- vative party itself. Not only had Capt. Parry to cope with this, but the aims of the Primrose League were selfishly and un- generously discarded, under the specious excuse that the success of the League would necessarily prove detrimental to the success of all then existing Conservative organisations. These, with many other objections, Capt Jones Parry, with his uniform affability, his clear understanding and lucid exposition of its principles, and his eloquent address, managed to surmount to such a degree that to-day, the Primrose League is decidedly one of the most powerful, representative, and popular of all nolitical organisations known in om* district: X o — We sincerely congratulate him upon the large measure of success that has crowned his determination to uphold and to assiduously disseminate knowledge of the true principles of the League. This he did not by passionately appealing to the sordid instincts of the credulous, the uninstructed or unidated, but by courting inquiries, arousing the enthusiasm and intensifying the earnestness of his fellow countrymen, by quickening within them the spirit of patriotism, and inculcating a sense and an appreciation of their duties and their privileges as citizens of their vast empire, such as he was well calculated to do. The League was started some seven years ago and then it numbered only ten members. But so rapid has been its growth since, that now it boasts of a membership of over a million. Its habita- tions are. to be met with in every city, town, village and hamlet in the land—some all powerful in their districts, others necessarily iiot so well ofl'. Wherever a branch has been established it has proved a unique success, ever on the increase. This success is not so marked and so satisfactory in those districts where the officers are earless and indifferent, or at any rate not so very active. These, how- ever, are few and are fast diminishing. In Carmarthenshire we have the Emlyn, Carmarthen District, Llanybyther, Llan- dovery, the Picton, St. Clean's and the Neweastle-Emlyn Habitations, all well organised, strong in numbers, and united and Z!5 enthusiastic in their proceedings. Cardigan- shire and Pembrokeshire are well to the fore, while in Glamorganshire the League has been eminently successful. Capt. Jones-Parry, during his four years of office, has travelled and delivered hundreds of addresses in no less than nine counties. It is impossible to gainsay the importance of organisation, and all sensible and well-defined additions should be received and encouraged as the only effective means of furthering those principles they have at heart. Organisations are the vantage ground upon which we disci- pline, fight our battles, and gain our victories. They are the sole means of systematically, and therefore effectively educating the masses, the centre around which politics turn, and the institutions which come into direct and whole- some contact with the constituents at large. The Primrose League was started as an auxiliary to other Conservative organisations —as a means of bringing to bear upon Z3 zn elections the irici-easing and active influence of females, hitherto unjustifiably ignored. We are gratified to note that with the aid of these voluntary bands of canvassers, who also dis- seminate useful literature, the political educa- tion of the electorate has received a marked impetus in the right direction. The Primrose League aims at the maintenance of Religion, the Estates of the Realm, and the Imperial Ascendency of the British Empire, and it may be regarded as the forerunner of complete woman suffrage. It has already accomplished much, is now doing more, and is yet capable of further development. Should its efforts have ceased with its noble and educating influence and power, its rendering narrower and narrower the gulf that unhappily divides various grades of society and prohibits t iat mutual intercourse and confidence between the comparatively affluent and poor, it would have accomplished a noble and lasting work, and would have more than justified its existence.

A. F. Mills, of Neath. The collections amounted to over £ 40 a much larger sum than the average for the last ten years being about £ 14 more than last year, and about 1:20 more than the previous year. THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVIDS' has left England for a holiday, and purposes to return to Abergwili Palace, about August 8th. His letters will not he forwarded. Clergy and others are requested to keep back till his return, any matter which may admit of such delay and to communicate (if nece ssary) on any formal business with Mr J. H. Barker (D ocesan Registry, Carmarthen), and on any other really pressing subject with the Arcli- deacons of the several Archdeaconries. I I ST. PETER'S CUCNEIR.— The members of the Sunday Schools in connection with this Church had their annual outing yesterday, when they proceeded by special train to Tenby. Abrut 800 turned up. The weather was gloriously ti"e after the recent rain, and all spent a pleasant and joyful day. Ample refreshments were supplied to all. Great credit is due to the superintendents and teachers of the several schools for thei: indefatigable efforts towards making the trip so great a success. TRINITY COLLEGE LOCAL MUSICAL EXAMINA- TK;X'—CARMARTHEN- CKNTRK.—The following is a list of the successful candidates at the annual practical examination, together with the teacher or school at which each candidate was prepared.

The weekly meeting was held on Sunday evening last, at the Salvation Army Barracks, when there were between 500 and GOO present. The chair was taken by Mr James, Barn's Row. Addresses were delivered by Mr Maclean, Mr Henry Howell, and the Rev. D. S. Davies, Union-street Chapel. The latter speaker made some very strung remarks, which do not speak very highly of a minister of the Gospel. In the course of the evening, Miss Hooper, Blue- street, gave a solo with credit to herself, and a party of Babell Chapel, Pensarn, also favoured the meeting with two songs, and were admirably rendered. The meeting was closed with prayer. A PRAISEWORTHY ACT. Yesterday, Alderman John Lewis, Commerce House, gave his employees a trip to Pendine. About 8.30. a.m. they started, numbering about 43, in two four-in- hand vehicles from the Ivy Bush Hotel, closely followed by a carriage with refreshments.
