Editorial Notes.
Editorial Notes. Certain sections of the London Press have raised their voices in dismay at the bare thought of the purchase of the Whitworth Estate, near Swansea, by a German syndicate. Untold evils are in store for this country, according to. this group of prophets, and a. great cry is accordingly raised against the audacious German for his greatly daring" inter- ference into the arena, of British indus- tries. The fact is, no such apprehensions need be entertained by any observer if he goes about it in a logical and reason- able manner. It is, first and foremost, merely a business speculation; it yet remains to be proven whether the specu- lation will turn out successful or not. It is, to say the least, a notoriously hazardous speculation. According to most experts, the coal which lies under the Whitworth Estate is a much inferior quality to the best Welsh steam coal; and if that be the case, we do not see why such a fear- ful outcry against the German enterprise should be made. Some of the papers re- ferred to go so far as to suggest that, in the event of a war breaking out, the Germans, having possession of a rich coalfield, would have a, huge quantity of the best steam coal stored up in readiness for it. This is absurd on the face of it. What is there now to prevent a foreign nation buying hundreds of thou- sands of tons of the best Welsh coal in the open market and store it up in readiness for such a contingency? It is most notorious that British coal is being sold daily to a great number of foreign nations, and the money obtained for this coal, and the labour which is necessary to produce it, must be beneficient to the Welsh collier. If ship- ments of Welsh coal to foreign nations, whether for domestic or other purpose, were to be stopped, the condition of the Welsh collier would be worse than it is at present. There would be less working days in the week, and there would be less money for distribution at home. The cry against German enterprise is a bogey it is quite harmless, and, what is perhaps more, will do no one any good. It is undoubtedly a source of gratifica- tion to all temperance people and all lovers of consistency in public matters to learn of the successful endeavour of the Welsh Temperance Party to influence our legal Welsh M.P.'s not to take briefs in Brewsters Sessions from the liquor party, as they have pledged themselves as the representatives of the people in Parlia- ment to do all they can to further tem- perance. The agitation has ended suc- cessfully, as those concerned have given an undertaking not in future to accept briefs from the Trade. The gentleman mainly responsible for this agitation was Mr. Hugh Edwards, Liverpool, who has during the last few years spared no pains to get this matter settled in a satisfactory manner. He has had the support of all kinds of temperance, organisations throughout Wales. In October last he appeared at the annual meeting of the South Wales Temperance Association to lay the matter before them, and the out- come was that an influential deputation on behalf of the Temperance Association and the four Nonconformist bodies of Wales waited upon Sir Alfred Thomas, the chairmaa of the Welsh Parliamentary Party, to place the matter before him. Sir Alfred's sympathy with temperance is well-known, and we have no doubt that he contributed greatly to the successful issue, in which we rejoice. -+-+-+- The political crisis is for the present past; Mr. Balfour has decided to cling to office: the defeat on a vital matter of Irish policy has not dissuaded his Govern- ment from clinging on to the emoluments of office. In short, he has decided to govern the country against its wishes, as demonstrated in the long list of by- elections. He has decided to govern the country in an unconstitutional manner. The idea of the Balfourian Government is to treat the opinion of the country and the House of Commons with equal con- tempt, and to delay appealing to the country as far as the Septennial Act will permit them. What does it all mean? It means that Mr. Balfour will carry on the farce of Government by representa- tion for some time longer, and that in the face of the most unequivocal dissent of the whole country. The by-elections have taught him nothing. Why? Simply because he wishes to learn nothing, and desires to postpone the appeal to the country on his various policies—or lack of policies—as far as he can conveniently delay it. He knows-he must know, as everybody knoys that the present Government represents the country no longer. The Government of which he is head, was elected on a Khaki vote, elected on the plea of efficiently carrying out the Boer War to a successful and satis- factory issue. How has he utilised the power then entrusted to him? The Boer War is, fortunately, over; some kind of patched-up peace has been made, and the burghers of South Africa are supposed to be living happily and peacefully under the care of a most benevolent and just Government. The bogey of war having thus been laid aside, the Government next directed its attention to the educa- tion of the country. The result of their deliberations was to enforce upon the country a most unjust and unconstitu- tional Education Act; an Act which con- fers upon the benighted ratepayer the privilege of paying for an education which he does not approve, and which, more- over, deprives him of the representation which constitutionally goes hand-in-hand with taxation. For this elaborate speci- men of Balfourian strategy, hundreds of British men and women have had their goods distrained upon, and have, more- over, suffered imprisonment for refusing to pay monies over which they have no control. Next came the Brewers' Bill, or as 1, has been very aptly called, The Brewers Bribe." This was a piece of the Govern- ment's temperance legislation, which is 0*1 a par with the Education Act. came the greatest red-herring of all—tn crowning achievement of the presen Government-the attempt to unsettle the trade of the country, by trying to bolstei up that dead-doubly dead—bogey, PIo- tection. W ø will not go into details her, but it is sufficient to say that, the accept" ance by the country of this quack remedy for a supposed malady, a malady which 18 strangely non-existent, is only too strongly demonstrated by the by-elections which have taken place throughout the country, in the course of which such Tory strongholds as Oswestry and Brighton so far forgot their old traditions as to return a Liberal member with handsome maJo- rities. In the face of such proofs of put lie opinion, Mr. Balfour has decided to hold out until he is compelled to give J11' Never in the whole history of Britis Parliaments has there been a GovernffieI1^ parallel to the present that has so co»' temptibly and deliberately ignored P,. V opinion. Never in the annals of Engl18 politics has a statesman employed so bas and cunning tactics as the Premier employed in his eager, grasping desire t maintain the seals of office. His is fast drawing to an end, and when t& time comes for the country to glve verdict on the manner in which I'd Balfour and his associates have carne s out the duties entrusted to them, let- hope that the voice will be. in the w01vig of a local politician, like the unuttera" forces of the storm," sweeping the mis and cobwebs of ten years of TorylS before it. May the day come soon. Mr. Balfour's decision not to resfe'j recalls a. similar decision on the Mr. Gregsbury, M.P.. as recorded in pages of "Nicholas Nickleby." A tation waited on Mr. Gregsbury and, att stating their grievances against asked him to resign. What happened tfl must be told in Dickens' own words: ,x re8 "I am requested, sir, to express hope," said Mr. Pugstvles, with a. {11r tant bow, that on receiving a reqUl tion to that effect from a great maJ rity of your constituents you, will JliJ1 object at once to resign your seat favour of some candidate whom ^1 think they can better trust." c To this Mr. Gregsbury read the lowing reply, which, anticipating request, he had composed in the of a letter, whereof copies had made to send round to the newspaper Mv Dear Pugstyles,—Next, to welfare of our beloved island—this e and free and hapnv country, w'l0'jV nowers and resources arc, I sincere^ believe, illimitable—I value that 1,0 independence which is an English proudest boast, and which I fondly. to li«queath to my children, unta^nl,s „j and BM,sullied.
