THE REPRESENTATION OF CAUDI-GANSHIRE.
THE REPRESENTATION OF CAUDI- GANSHIRE. Mr W. Jones opened his electoral campaign at Aberystwyth on Friday last, and most effectually forced the hand of his opponents. It is now evident that the Cardiganshire advocates of Irish Separation have no argu- ments to put forward in support of their principles other than those of brute force, and that there is nothing that they dread more than discussion. Differences of opinion there must needs be in most political matters, but when a party such as the Gladstonians are afraid to disclose their policy on the most momentous question that can well be con- ceived, when they absolutely refuse to hear the voice of those who are the most vitally interested in that question while listening with open ears to the partisans of their own side, then we say their cause must be weak indeed; yet this is what is taking place. Only the other day Mr Gladstone refused to consider the appeal of 990 Irish Noncon- formist ministers. Mr Gladstone who has no personal acquaintance with Ireland had nothing to learn from these men who repre- sent one-third of the population, and, if the Daily Neics of Tuesday is correct, prefers to lunch with Mr Guinness Rogers and discuss the Ulster question and Home Rule with a select party who are in favour of it. It is well-known that Mr Gladstone cannot brook opposition. As with him so with his party. They cannot and dare not meet their opponents and argue a question openly and fairly. Mr Gladstone refuses to meet the Irish loyalists; Sir William Harcourt refuses an invitation to visit Ulster to see for himself; the Gladstonian leaders in Cardiganshire refuse to allow any one to speak except in their own favour, The meeting on Friday last was presided over by Mr Lewis Pugli, late Liberal member for the county. On the platform in addition to the candidate were such well-known politicians as Mr Powell Williams, member for one of the Birmingham divisions, and Mr Mactie, late member for a Scotch Burgh, and an active member of Mr Gladstone's Mid Lothian Committee, before the fatal Home Rule policy became the chief plank in his platform. It had been rumoured that an attempt would be made to break up the meet- ing. Such secrets will somehow leak out, but the Unionists refused to take the threat as serious. On entering the room it was, how- ever, apparent that an organised gang of ZD ID roughs had been introduced with evil intent, the -n main body grouped around, three con- spicuous figures, viz., Mr Peter Jonas, Mr I Gibson and the Radical Agent, while skir- mishing parties occupied other points of advantage. The row was not long in begin- ning, determined interruption was offered even to the opening remarks of the Chairman. When called to order, Mr Peter Jones threw himself into a ludicrously heroic attitude, and stood the centre figure of a howling gang in open defiance of the Chairman. The further proceedings were more or less chaos until a vote of confidence was negatived on the motion b of Messrs Jones and Green. There was a rumour current during the day that the Junior Radical Club, assisted by foundry hands and college students intended to silence any speakers. Whether the rumour is true or not we cannot say, but these several parties were present in force were under control, and some of their number very considerably primed with Dutch courage. The primary inter- ruption emanated from the spot where sat the trio already mentioned. We do not mean to insinuate that Mr Pet ;r Jones, late chairman of the County Council, and J.P. for the borough, instigated riotous behaviour. Some time has elapsed since this worthy magistrate was seen endeavouring to come to fisticuffs with a brother justice in the street, but increas- ing years have, we trust, toned down the tire of youth. The Radical Agent was paid to do the best for his candidate, we must not blame him for taking what he thought the most effectual means. Why Mr Gihson should have been found in such company is I not easy to account for. He must have felt very uncomfortable in so novel a position, he is not fond of a row, and is withal of modest and retiring disposition. His love of peace and dislike to strong controversy was singularly exemplified not long since when he was seen hurriedly traversing the streets of Lampeter in abject terror of the horse pond, and thank- ful for the protection of his political opponents. Mr Gibson owes much to the Unionists, and we cannot but think that his seeming inter ruptions were the result of an unfortunate j habit of thinking aloud. I It seems strange to and men who are never tired of advocating freedom of conscience and liberty of speech acting contrary to their pre- tended principles. The only object of burk- ing the meeting was to endanger freedom of Z5 11 el conscience in Ireland, and prevent liberty of speech in Wales. Whether honest Liberals approve of these tactics will be seen on the polling day. Ominous murmurs are already making themselves heard in the rural districts which have long been chaffing lender the yoke of a handful of Aberystwyth busy- bodies. Mutiny has on several occasions been barely suppressed within the Council, and it will be strange if the electors of Car- diganshire, who pride themselves with reason on their independence, will submit with patience to the despotism of a small, if com- pact, Aberystwith faction. The enthusiastic reception accorded to Mr W. Jones at New Quay and Aberayron, proves that the rural electors will refuse to enslave themselves to the personal ambition of a small urban clique. Some of the Aberystwyth Gladstonians are strong on teetotal principles, and would gladly coerce the people into abstinence if an unfortunate militiaman takes an extra glass he is promptly run in, and the town rings with an account of his profligacy. n Wfiat excuse have these abstemious gentle- zn men to make for the disgraceful scene of 0 Friday night; why are militiamen to only be punished when drunk and disorderly ? Strange that students should assist to howl down Mr Pugh and his friends. The Unionist Government has done far more for Aberystwyth College and Welsh Education than the Gladstonian party have ever done. We should have thought that gratitude if not a love of decency and fair play would have induced them to give Unionists a courteous hearing.
IRISH NONCONFORMISTS.
IRISH NONCONFORMISTS. Irish Nonconformist ministers are now appealing to their co-religionists in Great Bri- tain to view Home Rule from the same stand- point as that of the Protestants of Ireland. The questions put to these missionaries are often these, Why dread Home Rule ? What have you to fear from Irish Roman Catholics? Probably few of those who ask these questions are aware of the past conduct of Roman Catholics in Ireland, or if they are they wil- fully blind themselves to the patent signs that the old cruel spirit is still smouldering beneath the suiface. England has much to answer for in her legislative treatment of Ireland, but that island is not free from blame for the exasperation she caused inEngland by treachery and brutality. IN THE YEAH 1641 the Irish who had for some time been in a state of semi-insurrection, rose at the instiga- tion of the priests, and made a general massacre of the Protestants. According to the Roman Catholic account furnished by the parish priests, 150,000 innocent settlers lost their lives. This number was probably exaggerated, but enough was done nn to constitute an enormous crime sufficient to bring a curse upon the country. Seventy years passed by before another attempt was made to extirpate the Protestant settlers. The scene on this occasion was laid in Connaught, and the attack was directed against unoffending cattle. "At daybreak the hill sides were seen strewn with carcases of oxen and sheep lying dead in hundreds and thousands." Again we find priests instigating ZD Z3, the cruel outrage and openly praying for the m n success of the perpetrators. "IRELAND 160 YEARS AGO." In another forty years we find a different phase of Irish Catholic cruelty—now it is women and children who are the victims. A set of young men of the Catholic persuasion were in the habit of recovering souls to ZD Holy Church" by forcibly carrying off Protestant women, ravishing them with the most exquisite brutality, and n then compelling a form of marriage which a priest could always be found to celebrate. November, 1730, Edmund McKiernan, assisted by a gang of ruffians, carried off Jane Tuknan from her home at Carriglane—her family were absent. Notwithstanding her struggles the girl t5 0 n way thrown across a horse and taken to a lonely house in the mountains, baund hand and foot and mercilessly violated. After a week of misery she was forcibly married by a Priest. The girl eventually escaped and reached her father's house. February 22, 1725, a gang of 11 men broke into the house of Edward Johnstone, a quaker, they tore him naked from bed, placed him on a heated griddle and deliberately roasted the wretched man. Having completed the murder they sat down to sup on bread and cheese. When offered meat they declined, as it was Lent; and to eat iiesh was contrary to their religion October, 1725, a party of Rapparees broke into the house of a Protestant named Hayes; they pulled his wife from bed, stripped her, and seared her limb by limb with red hot chisels. The husband implored their mercy saying she was with child. One answered that he would run the chisel into her body to the child. They were proceeding to burn the husband in the same manner, when, fortunately, they were put to flight. zn March 4, 1729, five Papists broke into the house of one Healy, knocked him down, cut and stabbed him about the head and face, forced open his mouth, cut out his tongue, shaved off his ears, and broke his arm. They then set upon his wife, who was near her confinement, slashed her, and cut out her tongue also. )ye take these instances from Froude's history, the depositions in proof of authenticity are still extant, and they are but specimens of num- berless cases of abduction, violation, and murders of Protestants for the avowed object of extirpating them from the country. WTe can pass over the period of the 1798 rebellion with but a reference to the doings of Fathers John and Murphy, who amid the wholesale murders of Protestants under the most atro- cious circumstances, could always find time to tell their beads and to say their mass and implore Heaven's blessing upon the abomina- tions that they were committing. We have said enough to show tha", the same spirit of hatred influenced the Catholics of Ireland from 1641 to 1798; that at fitting opportunity it burst out in paroxysms of crime and murder and recent events prove that it exists in "IRELAND IN THE PRESENT DAY." It is the same spirit that prompted the murder of Fitzmauiice, and left him bleeding to death on the roadside in his daughter's arms, while the neighbours passed by on the other side deaf to her entreaties for help it is the same spirit that left Martha Lyden a desolate widow, having seen her husband shot in cold blood on the threshold of his door, and his son shot over his body or Michael Foiham, who. sitting amongst Lid labourers, was shot and left to die with his son of 15, none others daring to assist him or Tobin, who, brutrdly murdered, was refused a coffin for burial. Why multiply cases 1 It is the identical same spirit that prompted the murders and atrocities of the last few years. The poisoning of water, the maiming of cattle, the cowardly firing through doors and windows, and throughout the whole foul page the trace of the priestly hand is to be distinctly discerned. Surely the Protestants of Ireland have good reason to dread Papal ascendancy and the rule of Roman Catholicism. It is not to be sup- posed that the wholesale massacres of 1611 and 1790 are to be repeated—that is imposs- ible—but Catholic ingenuity would easily find other means to render Protestant life unbear- able, if once a free governing hand be given them. It is just this free band that Ulster men are determined shall not be laid upon their necks, and if they stand firm it will be a bold man who attempts to impose it, nor are they likely to stand alone if the day of trial overtakes them.

THE GENERAL ELECTION.
THE GENERAL ELECTION. In view of the approaching General Election Mr J. Pughe Davies, of 13, Guildhall-square, Carmarthen, has just issued a political pamphlet dealing exhaustively with the work of the present Unionist Government from 1886 to 1802. Reviewing the same the Western Mail described it as "a racily-written and comprehensive pamphlet, which supplies splendid ammunition for the present campaign Mr Davies deals with the question from all points of view, and his ably written and timely pamphlet ought, y I we repeat, to be placed in the hands of every Welsh elector in the principality." The Llanelly Guardian: "Mr J. Pughe Davies, Carmarthen, is to be congratulated Uplll the exceptionally able, concise, and intelligent manner in which he has written his Welsh pamphlet just to hand For distribution amongst the Welsh speaking population of the principality nothing could be better, and we have no doubt Unionist Candidates will order them by the thousands It is one of the most valuable pamphlets we know of." The Llan, in a lengthy article described it as a talented and timely treatise which will be found valuable on the platform and on the hearth of the people rioh in contents, racy in language, and sound in principle all who read it will doubtless vote for the cause it pleads." The J\Tofth JVales Git(tr(li(tti, "We have much pleasure in welcoming the appearance of a well-arranged and comprehensive Epitome of the work of the Unionist Government from 1886 to 1892, compiled by Mr J. Pughe Davies Being divided into the three main heads of Legislation, Finance and Trade, and Ireland, it contains vast information in facts and figures that will take no denial. Every Unionist should possess a copy, and Gladstonians would do well to ponder over it." The Tioyside Advertiser, having passed a high eulogium on it, states that the pamphlet winds up with an earnest appeal to the Nonconformists of Wales to succour their brethren in Ireland, and espouse the cause of Protestantism as against Roman Catholicism in the sister Isle. Other papers have also given very flattering reviews of the pamphlet which Mr Davies publishes at 2d. each.
REPRESENTATION OF CARDIGANSHIRE.
REPRESENTATION OF CARDIGAN- SHIRE. MEETING AT TREGARON. MR William Jones arrived at Tregaron, on Wednesday, by the train due about five o'clock in the afternoon from Lampeter, accompanied by the Rev James Hunter, M.A., Presbyterian minister, Belfast, Messrs David Davies, J,P., Velindre, H. Tobit Evans, J,P., and others. He was met at the station by a large crowd whQ cheered him lustily. Amongt them we noticed the Rev Morgan Evans Mr John Evans, Wern i; Mr Davies, Wenallt, Llangeithio, &c. Mounting a break the party made its way to the Talbot Hotel followed by the crowd shouting William Jones for ever At seven o'clock a most enthusiastic public meeting was held at the Town Hall, which was packed to its utmost capacity. Mr John Evans, merchant, was voted to the chair, who opened the meeting in a short speech, and called upon Mr W. Jones to address the meeting. Mr Jones, who, upon rising, met with tremendous cheeking, explained the reason why he was a candidate. He was a Liberal,always had been a Liberal, and worked hard for the Liberal party, but in the face of the earnest appeal of the Irish Protestants of all sects and creeds he could not obey the belies's of one man, however eminent, to hand over these people to the tender mercies of the Lloman Ca'holic hierarchy. Mr Jones's address was freipientiy applauded, and he was evidently in touch with his audience throughout— The llev J. HurJer fallowed in a most eloquent speech, He appealed in the most earnest spirit for the Nonconformists not to act in this great crisis in a spirit of selfishness. Let there be no cartoon representing Irish Protestants as sold at the price of disestablishment. —Mr Gladstone and Mr B. Rowlands bargaining and tanally agreeing that 1,200,000 Protestants should be fffven over to Roman Catholic supremacy on condition of Wales receiving £ 6,000,000 of dis- establishment money. Were they going to sell their co-religionists for £ 0 a 7 head ? He trusted I Cardigan should i-.iay: We shall defer our own advantage for the good of Evangelical religion in Ireland. Other speakers having addressed the meeting the proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks.

|CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL.
CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL. A half-quarterly meeting of the Carmarthen Town Council was held in the Grand Jury Room of the Shire Hall nil Tuesday, the members present being the Mayor (Mr Thomas Jenkins), Aldermen J. Lewis, and R. W. Richards, Coun- cillors Howell Howells, James Davies, D. Parcell Rees, E. P. Davies, E. A. Rogers, D. Jones, D. T. Lloyd, Evau .Jones, Waiter Lloyd, J. T. Lewis, Henry Cidle, and D. E. Williams. THE PAY OF THE POLICE. The Watch CommIttee recommended, that no further advance be aiade in the pay of the two police sergeants, but that the salary of the head constable, Mr Thomas Smith, be increased to JE150 a year. Alderman J. Lewis moved, and Mr Rogers seconded the adoption of the £ 20 increase.—Mr Evan Jones moved, and Mr J. T. Lewis seconded an amendment that no increase be granted.—A long discussion followed, during which personali- ties of a touchy nature cropped up. The result was that the recommendation of the watch com- mittee was carried by a large majority, only four voting against it. THE RIVER Towy. Mr D. T. Lloyd said Last year £ 50 was voted for the improvement of the navigation of the river, but not a penny of that money has been spent. I want to know if we cannot get that S50 added to the £ 70 that was put down in this year's estimates. He wanted the council to have a good sum set apart so that the improvements could be appreciable. He asked this not for himself alone but for the public at large. He showed that the gravel that was taken from the bed of the river was most valuable to the corporation. -Mr Rogers remarked that the surveyor could easily go to the council for a further sum when the zC70 was exhausted. Mr D. T. Lloyd said he could amend his motion, that if the surveyor needed more money for the improvements he was entitled to it.-The Sur- veyor All the work we do on the Quay does not cost a halfpenny. It pays for itself but all the work we shall do en the bridge bank will cost us a lot of money.—Mr Rogers I move that the surveyor be instructed to carry out this work as soon as possible, so that the surveyor may have power to put a little force on to carry out the resolution.—The motion was duly seconded and carried. THE WATER SUPPLY. The Town Clerk related the steps that had been taken respecting the new gravitation scheme from Pentremawr and submitted the names of several gentlemen who had suggested to him as competent engineers to advise the council on the canying out of the scheme. In the ensuing disvU-sion of the matter, a couple of councillors showed their disapprobation of taking up tho matter now, but it was ultimately resolved to invite Mr J. A. B. Williams, Cardiff borough engineer, to undertake an inspection of the source and advise the council. HALL-STEET IMPROVEMENTS. With regard to these improvements, the Town Clerk said the Prudential Company had sent the CI,400 borrowed on the security of the rates and he had to pay £ 11 17s 6d charges as agreed together with E563 lis Id to Mr Francis, on account of purchase money, to enable him to get on with the work, having as security a deposit of the deeds. -Cheques for the above amounts were ordered to be signed. A NEW ALDERMAN. At a special meeting of the Council on Thurs- day (yesterday), the mayor, Mr Thomas Jenkins, was elected alderman in the place of the late Alderman John Morris, by 11 votes against 0 votes for Mr W. R. Edwards. The usual practice has been to elect the senior councillor, and had this practice been followed oil this occasion Mr Edwards would have been elected, he having been 12 years longer on the Council than Mr Jenkins. After thanking the gentlemen that supported him, Mr Edwards immediately handed to the Town Clerk his re- signation as Councillor. This resignation will be a decided loss as there was no more useful mem- ber on the Council.
THE REPRESENTATION OF RAD-…
THE REPRESENTATION OF RAD- NORSHIRE. Major Wood is vigorously conducting his campaign in Breconshire, and is meeting with very encouraging reception everywhere. This county was not fought in 1880, and so has not had an opportunity of expressing its voice on the all engrossing question of the Union. Giad- stonians themselves admit that the present con- test will be the severest one that Breconshire ever experienced. Both candidates are county gentlemen held in much esteem in their respective districts. The personal influence of the one does not exceed that. of the other so the verdict, which- ever way it goes, will be a fair estimate of the true balance of parties in that county. Last Friday night Major Wood had a very successful meeting in the Victoria Hall. Llanwrtyd Wells, CApt. Penry Lloyd, the chairman, the Candidate, and Mr Pughe Davies, Carmaithen, were each accorded a good hearing. To-night (Friday) and to-morrow meetings will be held in the colliery districts of Ystradgynlais.
CARMARTHEN.
CARMARTHEN. MEDICAL -Ewen J. Maclean, M.D., sun of the- late John Maclean, Mount-hill, in leaving the post of House Surgeon at the Bristol Hospital for children and women, has been elected to the resident Medical Ofiicership of the Chelsea Hospi- tal for women, London, S.W. Ru HI DECANAL MHKTING.—A well attended meeting fur the deanery uf Carmarthen, was held on Thursday, of ia,t wet-k, in the vestry room of St. Peter's Church, presided over by the Rural Dean, Rev. Samuel Jones, Llangunnor. The Rev. D. Evans, vicar of Llangain, read a paper on family worship, which was afterwards discussed by several of those present. Revs. T. R. Walters, St. David's and J. Marsden, Llanllwch were elected as clerical delegates to the Diocesan Con- ference, and Messrs. W. Morgan Griffiths, John Francis, and Edward Lewis, were re-elected as lay delegates. LLOYD'S BANK.—At a special meeting of the directors and share-holders of the Bristol and West of England Bank (Limited), held on Satur- day afternoon, at the Grand Hotel, Bristol. the scheme for the amalgamation of that Bank wi h Lloyd's Bank (Limited) was unanimously confirmed. The Banker's Magazine for this month in discussing this amalgamation aod also that of the old private "firm of Richard Twining and Cu., Strand, London, states No other bank in the country can show such a record of amalgamation and absorptions as Lloyds* Lloyds have taken over, absorbed, bought up, private bank after private bank, and lnint stock bank after joint stock bank Their liability on current and deposit accounts has increased from £ 835 000 oil the 31st December, 1886, to £ 21,350,000 on the 31st December, 1891. What addition will be made to this enormous total by the figures of Twining, we caunot say, as that firm has not published a balance sheet but the Bristol and West of England Bank will certainly add another one and a quniter million of pounds. The progress of Lloyds Bank Limited has been quite phenomenal. The tie- amalgamation brings up the branches of Llovds, Bank to a number which equalsthat oi lon National Provincial Bank of England and is. creeping rapidly up to the London and Couuty. ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT,—At the Borough Police-court on Tuesday afternoon (before Mr J. Howell Thomas, and Mr John Lewis), Thomas Davies, Priory street, well-known in sporting circles at Carmarthen, he being a great fancier of dogs, was brought up in custody charged with embezzling the sum of 1;5 10s., the moneys, of his employer, Mr T Jenkins, mayor of Carmarthen.—The prisoner was unrepresented. —Mr Jenkins said that about a month ago the prisonor was in his employ as book- I keeper and general cierk, and it was a part of his d'lty < > receive moneys from customers.
