MR A. THOMAS. M.P., ON LOCAL…
MR A. THOMAS. M.P., ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT. — T n- Daring the past week Wales has figared prominently in Parliament, and vigorous, trenchant criticism of the Local Govern. ment Bill has been delivered by Welsh members, Mr A. Thomas, Mr T. E. Ellis, and Mr A. J. Williams having contributed to the debate on the second reading and given notice of amendments. The hon. member for East Glamorgan, in his speech on Friday night, and his subsequent vote, carried out the line of conduct which he marked for himself in his recent address at Treharris; objected to certain clauses, suggested important alterations, and said it might be his duty to support amendments in committee, but voted for the second reading, because the Bill recognised the principle of Home Rule. An important point raisad by him was that of substituting for the aldermanic" system of electing a certain number of councillors a proposal to elect a few for six years. Then, to give effect to the bitter cry of Rebecca's" descendants and the heartfelt wish of thou. sands of people, not only in the Eastern Division, but throughout Glanorganshire, Mr Thomas was first in the field with a notice of motion for the abolition of turnpike tolls in South Wales. The injustice of inflicting upon owners of vehicles a wheel- tax and payment of tolls is monstrous, and if the Tories cannot see it, so much the worse for them, for even the Conservative gentry of Glamorganshire will ruefully exclaim Save ns from our friends." Mr Goschen's reply to the South Wales, deputation on this question was not pro- mising, it reminded Liberals of the descrip- tion once given of Mr Goscheri*by Mr Joseph Chamberlain—before the days of his apos- tacy—that he served as the skeleton at the feast to moderate our joys. His conduct on this occasion tends to moderate our joy" at the prospect of a County Government Bill which will inflict double-barrelled taxation upon South Wales vehicle owners. The member for East Glamorgan has there- fore, earned the gratitude of many by his timely action in bringing the matter unmis- takably before the House of Commons and the country.
I INOTES ON PASSING EVENTS.
I I NOTES ON PASSING EVENTS. I THE ELECTRIC LIGHf FOR MIO-RHONOOA SHOPS. I According to a Llwynpia correspondent, I the tradesmen in Mid-Rhondda are dissatis- fied with the quality of the gas supplied them, and they are going in for the electric light. It is stated that an enterprising colliery com- pany in the neighbourhood contemplate ex- tensive enlargement of their present electric light machinery, and a deputation will, pro- bably, wait upon them inviting such prepara. tion wlinreby the tradesmen of the district might substitute electric light for gis. I --0-- j I THE GAS GRIEVANCE. A correspondent writes:— "The Mid- Rhoudda Chamber of Trade are beginning to move in the gas question. Quality and not quautity is the burden of complaint. The supply is very indifferent. Gas is supposed to be s) much candle power, but the quality of that burnt at the present time would cut a 7ery sorry figure indeed besides an ordin- ary wick. Protests have been made to the company, but the courtesy of the directorate appears very much on a pa? with the quality of the gas. Otherwise some acknowledgment should have been received by the secretary of the Chamber. I am afraid that unlets the Gas Company makes an effort towards giving a light which will be an improvement on the present semi-lunar kind, it will find itself confronted by an opposition far more perma- nent and lasting in itseffect than even ptraffin 0 REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. The Tories are on the alert for stray votes, and it behoves Liberals and Welsh National- ists to see that the lists of voters now being prepared contain the names of good men and true who are entitled to a place thereon. Liberal Associations- should raise the cry of "Register, Register, Register," for in the pre- sent chaotic state of parliamentary affairs no one knows what a day may bring forth in the political world. N SIR MICHACL HICKS-BEACH AND THE PONT- YPRIDD TRAMWAY. Simultaneously with additions to the Pont- ypridd and Bhondda Tramway Company's rolling stock came the news of parliamentary interference. "Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and the Pontypridd Tramway What does it mean ? Oh, only the formal sanction of the recent order granted by the Board of Trade, yet the parliamentary intelligence of Friday night included a solemn account of how Sir Michael Hicks-Beach moved for leave to intro- duce a biH to confirm certain provisional orders of the Board of Trade under the Tramways Act, 1870, relating to the Pontypridd and Rhondda Valley Tramways. Leave was given, and the bill was subsequently brought iD, read a first time, and accordingly referred to the examiners. -0-- I XVSIC FOR THE KILLION AT PONTYPRIDD. A few weeks ago a suggestion was made in our columns that the brass band of the Pont- ypridd Rifle Volunteers should supply a pub- lic boon by playing at stated intervals every week ou the streets of the town. That sug- gestion, we are glad to find, is being acted upon, and the public cannot fail to fully appre- ciate the periodical discourfal uf sweet music with which they are likely to be favoured during the long cool ("werry much" cool if the present unseasonable temperaturo of the wea- ther continues) evenings of the summer months. We would suggest as an incidental expedient that an intimation be given as to the pattioular locality where the band will play on these public evenings. o THE BUTE DOCK BILL AND THE LOCAL BOARDS. So the little army of Local Boards and public companies of the district will not after all be called upon to try conclusions with the Bute Dock Company, as the latter have decided, for some unexplained reason, to with- draw the 23rd olause of the Bill, haying refer- ence to the conservancy of the river Taff and its tributaries. "He that fights and rnns away lives to fight another day." This old adage may prove very significant in its appli- cation to the future conduct of the company. At any rate, it behoves the representatives of the public to be on their guard as to any pos- sible recurrence of pollution in the river. One fact, however, remains that by the with- drawal of the obnoxious and arbitrary clause referred to the company have evinced a dis- cretion which is ostensibly the better part of valour, and the moral effect of the retro- grade step is that right has beaten might, and that the masses have scored a signal triumph over the ingenious designs of the classes. -0-- A WELSH VICAR IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY. The Rev Watkin Davies, vicar of St. Bride's, Coedkernew, had the misfortune to be caught damaging an ancient monument iu Westmin. ster Abbey last week. A plain clothes con- stable saw him chip off pieces of stone from an old "credence table," using his umbrella as an instrument to do so. The Vicar was taken into custody, although he protested that he did not think he was doing any harm- and Mr D'Eyncourt, the stipendiary magis. trate, lectured the clergyman pretty severely, "If every visitor who went to the abbey took away a piece of a monument, the fabric would soon be gone altogether, said the Stipendi- ary." "[ was picking the pieces for relics" said the Vicar.—Mr D'Eynconrt: You really ought to know the value of ancient monu- ments, and to venerate them accordingly. I must fine you 40s for the wilful (Linage.— The fine was immediately paid. -0-- LLWTNYPIA AND TOVYPANDY ATHLETIC CLUB. On Wednesday evening, the 18th instant, the annual meeting of the club was held at the Workman's Institute, when a goodly number of the cricket and tennis fraternity gathered together. The chair WIS taken by n Dr W. W. Dsvid The financial statement was submitted by Mr Edward Hughes, the financial secretary of the club. It covered two seasons. Though a deficit was declared, still the committee are in good spirits now that a red ic. ion can be made in the absolutely necessary «• »nstrucfcive ground expenses in consequence I( the ALMOST conpJet.3 adapta- tion of the i: Id for club purposes. Messrs J. H. Jones and J. F. Phillips, two prominent members of the committee, were appointed auditors. The meeting elected Mr Prichard, Clydach, as the presideat of the year, and the following gentlemen were added to the existing list of Vice Presidents. Mr John Thomas, Mr T. P. Jenkins, Mr D. W. Da vies, J.P., and Mr R. A. Rhys, corouer. The Execu- tive Committee were agaia elected, and in- cludes some of the most prominent men in the locality. The appointment of officers was next on the agenda. Mr T. Job a was elected captain of the Cricket Club, and Mr R. A. Lewis Vice-captain. Mr Rod rick Lewis was selected to captain the Juniors and the Second Eleven. Messrs Anderson and R. F. Richards, with the officers were elected the Cricket Match Committee. Mr W. W. Hood was re-elected captain of the Lawn Tennis Club, and Messrs Gilmour, Brenchley, and W. M. Thomas were deputed a Ma'ch Committee. Mr Edward Hughes, who did good service as secretary :1a5t year, was re-instated in his office, and MR Glynfab Williams was appointed his coadjutor in place of Mr John. These gentlemen will, it is felt, carry out the secretarial duties with excsltent results. A very important modification was made at the suggestion of Dr. DP.vid. Work- ing men will in future be ad mitted to the privileges of the club by payment of an annual subscription of half-crown. This atep will doubtless very much popularise the club with the very element which the promoters de- signed to include. Already the raw material is at work which will give a permanent foun- dation to the club. The Executive Commit- tee are determined to push on matters with vigour. The popular professional of last year has again been re-engaged. He will enter on his duties on the 1st of May. A proof of his promise as a cricketer has been given this year by his selection out of innumeiable can- didates to play in the colts match of his county. The tennis ancteriekètpractiee will commence next Monday.
