piffht weeks' time, at In a ou se> ent will once more the ou si e, event there re"af,X more movement than there has been for several months past amongst party men and one or two Welsh politicians and mieStions have, of late been to the front. Mr. ELLIS, who, though he has long since been gag £ ?e(l' so as reke^ous speeches and threatening a revolt against Liberal Governments are concerned, is perhaps fervent amongst the rather petty race of Welsh Radicals, has been writing and speaking a good deal recently. In one of the weekly journals he avows himself still a Welsh Nationalist in favour of a thorough measure of Welsh Home Rule, a profession which should be but a meagre consolation to those ardent "Wales for the Welsh" politicians who are a-hungering for deeds, not words. On the other hand he has been doing his bounden duty as a member of the Government, and puffing up Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT'S Budget—a matter which is probably of profound indifference to Nationalists throughout the length and breadth of Wales. Mr. ELLIS'S speech at Neath last Wednesday evening would have been much more interesting generally, and would have no doubt commended itself far more to South Wales Radicalism had it only contained some references to the pro- gramme of the Government in the Session now well within sight. Over this thorny ground Mr. ELLIs did not even venture to pick his way gingerly; he preferred to shun the whole subject of the intentions of the Government with respect to Welsh Dis- establishment. But far more significant than Mr. ELLIS'S omission of any interesting references to the attitude of the Government towards this question, is the omission of any reference to the matter in the election address of the Ministerial candidate for the Brigg Division of Lincolnshire. We hear, on very good authority, that the Conservative organisers are pretty confident of winning the election there, as has been done in Forfarshire. So that, perhaps, it makes very little difference what the Ministerial candidate puts in, or leaves out, from his address. At the same time the omission does help to prove this—that Welsh Disestablishment is not regarded by English politicians as a trump card to play in English constituencies. The orthodox Radical politician is wont, nowadays, and specially since the pernicious example of the Newcastle programme, to include within his list of reforms almost every mortal fad and cry that is likely to win a few votes. How popular then must be Welsh Disestablishment, which alone is. left out in the cold by English Radical aspirants for Parliamentary honours! What makes the omission of any serious. reference to Welsh Disestablishment additionally glaring in the case of the con- test at Brigg, is the fact that it has been named by responsible persons as the premier- measure of next Session. First, Home Rule was known to be anything save a very popular cry in many English constituencies^ yet when the question was before the- country, and when the Bill was named as the first for the next Session, Radical can- didates did not shirk the issue in this manner. They nailed their colours to the- weathercock. Very different, be it observed, is the attitude of the avowed opponents of Welsh, Disestablishment. They are sparing no pains, we are glad to hear and observe, to make the country thoroughly active to- the insidious danger which threatens the Church. So active are the members of the Parliamentary Church Party founded a Session or two since to watch all questions in the Lower House affecting the interests of the Church of England, that we find the enemy already crying out against their action. The Manchester Guardian for -1 instance, determined not to be beninanana^ is already suggesting the use of the gag in the House of Commons to curtail debate next Session on the Welsh Bill. The Church party, remarks the organ in ques- tion, which has been formed on the Conservative benches includes not a few of the young men of the Opposition who gave so much trouble upon the Budget. Some of them are already at work devising- amendments to the measure. The fact that they have had the Bill in hand during a long recess has offered them unusual opportunities for this kind of enterprise,. and it will not be their fault if the amend- ments do not exceed, both in number and ingenuity, those which have been placed on the paper, to any of the measures introduced by the present Government. The game of the leaders will undoubtedly be to exhaust every practicable means to prevent the second reading being reached at all; but after this stage is passed the measure will, as far as the Opposition is concerned, be- flung to the wolves of the Church party. This is probably a trifle imaginative. It is not likely, on the face of it, that even the youngest men of the Opposition are- wasting much of their time in forming amendments to a Bill which cannot b& before Parliament till the end of January at the earliest, and which may be consider- ably different in important respects from that which has already seen the light. It is, however, right to attribute to the mem- bers of the Church party who are working- in union with the Archbishop of Canterbury, real activity. The majority of these are Englishmen, representing English con- stituencies. This we well know to be a reproach to Welsh Churchmen in the eyes of Welsh Radicalism. We, on the contrary,, regard it as a distinct honour and an excellent sign, that the" predominant. partner" is set against the attempt to ruin and plunder the greatest of our institutions.
----------NOTES BY THE WAY.
NOTES BY THE WAY. With their heads in a bag, Ministerialists are gleefully chortling over the things they don't see. The Pall Mall Gazette says this Wales, they in riming, oorrupt Scotland may be. But in the confusion caused by Forfar they seem to have forgotten the Montgomeryshire election of April last. There, though the voters had been told that disestablishment hung upon the result; though the chapel screw was given the last turn; though Mr. Thomas Gee's plan for dividing the Church spoil had been thrust into every hand, and though the Government Bill was awaiting its final touches, the Ministerial majority fell from 815 in 1892 to 225 in 1894. It is hardly credible that things have improved while so many murmurs are heard frorm every corner of the Nonconformist vineyard. Why, then, rejoice at the precedence of Wales ?" If the election for the School Boards has done nothing else, it has given us a curious insight into the many-sidedness of the great Radical party. Far and wide, over the metropolis, we have had the cry of No Popery raised against those who had no other wish than that the elements cf the Christian religion should be taught in schools ac- cording to the compromise of 1871, and from which it was clear that, in many cases, there had been a departure. So effective was this cry that the vast majority of Nonconformists sided with Socialists and free-thinkers against the upholders of religions teaching, with the result that not a> single Roman Catholic priest was elected to the Board. In Ireland, however, where the cry is that, in the event of Home Rule, the Nonconformists and other Protestant population would be at the mercy of their most bitter enemies, the Irish priests, the vast majority of the Nonconformists of this Kingdom have made a close alliance with these priests, for the injury of their fellow religionists- Truly the Nonconformist Radical is a many-sided person but does it not look as if conscience with him, in these matters, meant pure opportunism ? Does it not look as if, in a general way, the Radical Nonconformist does not care one jot what other serious results may take place, so long as his social enemy—the Church of England-is injured. The prayer for the High Court of Parliament under our most Religious and Gracious Queen at this time assembled" is directed to be used "during their Session." Is it intentional or unconscious irony that prompts the clergy at Oswestry parish church to continue to use the prayer when the High Court of Parliament is no longer in Session ? Let us hope that the present Parliament will be the better for being prayed for four times after it was prorogued.
