LOCAL RAILWAY SFRVICE.
LOCAL RAILWAY SFRVICE. IMPORTANT CHANGES. IT will be good news to this district that the Great Western Railway Company's Bill to lease the Manchester and Milford Rail- way has passed its critical stage. There need be no further doubt as to its ultimate success ir the House inasmuch as both the Cambrian, and the London and North Western Railway Companies have with- drawn their opposition. The simple meaning of the passing of this Leasing Bill is that the Great Western has come to stay and that there need be no longer any danger of a monopoly such as threatened Aberystwyth some five years ago when the Cambrian Company made a bid for the Manchester and Milford line. For all practical pur- poses the Manchester and Milford railway will be transferred to the Great Western Company on the 1st of July next. This, perhaps, will not mean a very great and immediate revolution in our local railway service; but there can be no question that it will have a very far-reaching effect on this district and on the Cambrian Railways. The merging of the M. A* M. will probably be disadvantageou in certain directions but these disadvantages will soon pa.s away, and may be treated as a negligible quantity when we consider the possibilities in store by the advent of such a powerful and enter- prising Company as the Great Western. When the announcement was first made in our issue for January 17th, 1901, that negotiations were proceeding for the mer- ging of the Manchester and Milford line into that of the Cambrian Railways Com- pany we then pointed out the dangers of a monopoly and the evil effects of the railway service falling into the hands of one Company. We then stated in a leading article that We would strongly emphasize that the interests of the community at 11 lai-ge would be much better served by maintaining the existing rivalry through 0 the introduction of one or more of the large railway companies, such as the Great Western. Competition at Aberystwyth, would, of course, be of great advantage to "other towns along the railways-,such as Lampeter and Tregaron, Machynlleth and Newtown. It is no secret, we believe, that the Great Western Company has, for some time past, been anxious to obtain a "favourable outlet on the West Coast of Wales where it can pour its large tourist traffic direct, without being hampered by the needless troubles and strictures im- "poeù by transferring it to a minor com- pany. Hitherto, however, the Great Western has been kept at bay by the Cambrian Company at Dolgelley and Btittington, and by the Manchester and Milford Company at Pencader but it is "acknowledged on all hands that if the Manchester and Milford line were taken "over and worked by the Great Western the benefit that would accrue to Aber- "ystwyth and the other Cardiganshire "towns it serves would be iucalculable." This has at last come to pass and we can now confidently expect some important developments at no distant date, although the terms of the arrangement with the Cambrian Railways preclude the Great Western Company from carrying out the extensive alterations which they had in- tended to make at Aberystwyth. This is to be regretted but contingencies may still arise which will make such improvements imperative in order to dc)al with the in- creased goods and passenger traffic of the G. W. R. We ha ve on previous occasions expressed the hope that, should the Great Western become directly interested in this district, they should introduce some of their splendid motor 'buses to Cardiganshire so as to bring such places as Aberayron and New Quay into communication with the railway.
----.-------------ABERYSTWYTH…
ABERYSTWYTH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. OXCE again, practically the whole time of the Aberystwyth Board of Guardians on Monday was devoted to discussing the question of the vacant medical officership of the House. The Guardians are in grim earnest. They know what they are -ibout and if any person is simple enough or foolish enough to believe that an intelligent body of representative men such as the Aberystwyth Board of Guardians sacrifice so much valuable time from meeting to meeting to discuss this vexed question merely to satisfy their own or anybody else's whims that person is sadly mistaken. Mr. Birchain, the Local Government Board Inspector, who was present at Monday's meeting, acknowledged that he had always looked at Aberystwyth as the leading Board of Guardians in Central Wales;" and he added that" smaller boards of guardians naturally looked up to them for guidance." The truth of this observation by Mr. Bircham has a solid foundation in fact; and his compliment to the Aber- ystwyth Guardians as an exemplary body is not unmerited. The reason why smaller boards of guardians naturally look up to the Aberystwyth Board is that the Aberystwyth Guardians have the courage of their con- victions. Smaller boards are too prone to I cringe to haughty overbearing officials who expect both guardians and paupers to salaam whenever and wherever they approach their august presence. But the sense of manli- ness and equality is toe. highly developed in the Aberystwyth Guardians to submit to any humiliating servility of that sort. The Ahoi^4„ „H, n J: • .1 i. JVUTRJ VII VJUCTI-UMIIS mine present dis- pute are fighting the battle of the poor they aie defending the rights of the rate- payers they are contending for a recog- nition of the principle that taxation and representation should go together. It is monstrous to think that a public body like the Aberystwyth Board of Guardians should be coerced by the Local Government Board or any other influence to do what they resolutely believe they should not do. The days of Charles I. are past and gone but if the methods used in raising the "Ship money are to be revived it will be found that there are Hampdens on the Aber- ystwyth Board of Guardians. The Aber- ystwyth Guardians are not parsimonious. They have raised the salaries of their officials when they deemed it wise to do so. But they reserve to themselves the right, as they are justly entitled to do, to estimate the value of the services of their servants. And who but the Guardians are in a position to do so? The Rev. Nathaniel Thomas, the Vicar of Llanbadarnfawr, made this abundantly clear on Monday when he said +-- He had taken no interest in this matter, except to record his vote. and not with Dr. Bonsp.H more than against him. He wished to have an end to this matter, and the reason he had voted every time for Dr. Bonsall was because he saw the Local Government Board was dead against them. He thoroughly agreed with the remark made by Mr. E. J. Evans that the Guardians ought to be masters of the servants they paid. Now this is very significant. The Rev. N. Thomas frankly admits that he has voted every time for Dr. Bonsall not on the merits of the case nor on the grounds of justice and equity, but because he sees the Local Government Board is dead against the Guardians. Does the Local Government Board expect members who have first hand knowledge to suppress-their better judgment in this manner? We refuse to believe it. But if the Local Government Board, is, for the time being, against the Guardians, reason, justice, and humanity is on their side —and they will win in the long run. There is another aspect to the question, as wa& pointed out on Mon- day. If it is impol tant that Mr Bircham, the Inspector, should understand Welsh— and most of the leading Boards of Guardians in the Principality have already declared by resolution that it is—how much more im- portant is it that the Wox-khouse Medical Officers should understand the vernacular? HOWT can the poor, aged inmates, who are mostly monoglot Welsh people, explain what ails thtm to a man who is not conversant with their tongue ? Such a thing would not be tolerated by any Government in India or in any other country. Why should it be tolerated in Wales ?
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
NOTES AND COMMENTS. Owing to depression in the slate *:rado, fifty men were stopped at the Bryneglwys quarry, Towyn, on Saturday. We were glad to see that Mr David Davies voted with the Government in the division on the Free Trade debate. '-li- The annual meeting of Merioneth County Council was held at Dolgelley on Thursday, when Dr. John Jones, Dolgelley, was elect- ed chairman, and Mr. Evan Jones, Bala, vice-chairman, -11- A deputation from the Welsh University Colleges, headed by Lord Kenyon. waited upon the Welsh M.P.'s on Friday, to urge the necessity of obtaining fresh help from the Exchequer. -)1- Mr. Llewelyn Williams, M.P., addressed a largo gathering of students and others at I Aberystwyth College on Saturday evening. Mr. Williams was accorded an enthusiastic reception on his arrival at the station, and again at the meeting. A report of the proceedings is given in another part of the proceedings is given in another part of the paper. -11- Mr. J. D. Roes' description of Major Seely as the "Mad Mullah of military re- form" has given rise to much indignation amongst his constituents in the Montgomery 11 Boroughs. Mr. J. D. Rees may be surprised to learn that the feelings of the Liberals of Montgomery are much more faithfully re- presented by Major Seely than by himself.. If we are to have vulgar remarks of this kind from the Liberal Benches the Govern- ment will soon gain an unenviable notoriety- in the country. -11- The Lancashire Congregational Union, at the close of its annual meeting on Thursday at Preston, passed a resolution on the com- ing Education Bill. This resolution de- clared that if the bill is to be an adequate solution of the problem it must provide for complete local control by popularly elected bodies of all schools maintained by public funds, the abolition or religious tests for the teachers, and the embodiment of the principle that no teaching of religion should be given at the expense of the education authority, but that there should be abund- ant moral teaching illustrated by such read- ings from literature, including the Bible, as the local education authority may determine. It also declared that any scheme for giving what is called the right of entry will inflict grave injustice on large bodies of citizens and seriously imperil educational efficiency. The Lord Mayor of Cardiff has issued in- vitations to various public men to attend a conference at Cardiff on Friday to consider a draft scheme for the formation of a Nat- ional Council of Education for Wales, It has been decided to invite the representa- tives of Welsh education authorities who at- tended the last conference, all members of Parliament for Wales, and all the unsuccess- ful Welsh candidates at the recent general election, the Bishops of the- four Welsh dioceses, and the Roman Catholic Bishops of Wales. A meeting of the Welsh National I Liberal COllncil has been convened for Car- diff for Thursday night, the eve of the Lord I Mayor's conference, to consider the subject of the constitution of the conference which I: has given rise to considerable dissatisfac- tion. The Lord Mayor on Saturday decided to issue invitations to the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Welsh Calvinistie Methodists, the chairman, of the Congrega- tional Union of Wales, and the chairman of the General Assembly of the Welsh We&ley- ans. -l'- As an ardent follower of Gladstone (writes a correspondent) I like to look him ap on questions of current interest. The intro- duction of the" Farmers! Charter t'je other day reminded me of what Gladstone had to say on one of its points 20 years age.. Speak- ing of "freedom of cnltivatioll J;. in his second Midlothian speech, he explained a form of lease wh::h secured tMs without hurting the landlord. The difficulty of working an ordinary lease with mutual satis- faction is that a tenant migtit so exhaust the land in the few last years, of the lease as to leave the landlord with an impoverish- ed farm on his hands. This was how Glad- stone proposed to overcome the difficulty. Say the- lease of a farm was for a term of 21 years. For the first 17 years during which the lease would run the- farmer would have full siberty to cultivate his farm as he wish- ed. At the end of tho 17th year the farmer would have to say whether or not he intend- ed to ronew his lease. If so., he accepts another lease, and is free to cultivate ac- cording to his own bent and interest for another 17 years, when he has the option again. If he decides not to renew the lease and determines to leave the farm, he would be required to cultivate in the manner pre- scribed in a clause embodied in the lease for the remaining four years. Gladstone held that a lease Oil those terms would secure all that a farmer could reasonably ask for in scribed in a clause embodied in the lease for the remaining four years. Gladstone held that a lease on those terms would secure all that a farmer could reasonably ask for in regard to freedom of cultivation, itnd would > at the same time protect the rue interest- of the landlord. • • • In recognition of his manifold services at Cardigan during the past twenty-five years, the Hev. John Williams was last week made the recipient of [I, public presentation. At a mating of the Cardigan Town Council o.a Tuesday, the mayor presiding, the prin- cipal business was to consider the incorpora- tion of tho rural portion of the village of St. Dogmael's in the borough of Cardigan. Public meetings 01 the ratepayers of the village have. been held, and a plebiscite taken, resulting in an almost unanimous verdict in favour of incorporation with Car- digan. The ratepayers of the town do not, however, appear to favour the project. The discussion by the comical on Tuesday was private, and a resolution was passed to call a town public meeting, place the whole matter before it, and afterwards take a vote upon the. question. Attention is drawn in the "Lancet" to the use of snails as food, and it is pointed out that nothing is to be said against the proposal from a dietetic point of view, for, properly cooked, the snail is both nutritious and tasty." If, however, the suggestion were seriously acted upon we fear that the supply in this country would prove to be short- of the demand. But doubtless the snail could be cultivated as is the oyster when it was found that, it had gained a considerable patronage. The snail has indeed been call- ed tho poor man's oyster,' though wo do not remember to have seen it eaten raw. We know, however, that it makes an excel- lent fish sauce and may be used for the same purpose as oyster sauce. Possibly also a few snails in a steak-and-kidney pudding would increase the tastiness of this popular food." After referring to the care neces- sary in the choice of snails for food the journal adds that nearly 90 per cent. of the solid matter of the snail is proteid matter available directly for repairing the tissues of the body, and that compared with the oyster the snail contains about 100 per cent. more nutritious: substances. We would direct the attention of readers to the abundant facilities for self-improve- ment which are being offered by the Car- diganshire Education Committee to those young farmers, male and female, who are desirous of improvi::g upon the methods which they have inherited from their par- ents. Out-ColJege courses are provided in Agriculture in all its phases, in Dairying, Poultry, Breeding, Horticulture, and Bee- keeping. Applications for out-College courses in Cookery, Sick-nursing, and Laundry Work are also invited. We understand that a list. of such courses and lectures has been sent to the Clerk of each Parish Council and meeting within the administrative county of Cardigan. Parish Councils can- not be better occupied than in consider ,g the- educational needs of the areas which they serve. For individuals as apart from communities, arrangements are being made I whereby In-College courses will be pro- vided in Agriculture, Dairying, Cookery, Horticulture, Nature Study, Kindergarten and Music, should the demand for such courses he suihcient to justify their pro- I vision. For further particulars readers may consult our advertisement columns. -jj-- Mr. Bircham.. the Local Government Board inspoctor for Wales and Monmouth is about to retire. Mr. Bircham came into the Welsh district when the Boards were practically dominated by the ex-officio element. Im- mediately the Act of 1894 came into opera- tion the membership of the Boards became overwhelmingly popular, and the long-sup- pressed wishes oi the people in regard to their language were soon in many places complied with. In quite half the twenty unions of North Wales the Boards now habitually use Welsh as the language of discussion, and the minutes of several, as printed for circula- tion, are recorded in Welsh. The major it y of the remaining Boards probably have upon them a large proportion of members to-whom the language of the home and the place of worship is Welsh. The inmates of the, work- houses, too,, throughout North and Mid- Wales are to a large extent Welsli-speaking. That it is highly desirable, therefore,, that there should be a Welsh-speaking Govern- ment inspector under the Poor Law in Wales is undeniable. Now that Mr. Bircham is about to retire there is an opportunity to follow the precedent set in late years. with respect to school inspectors and mining ins- pectors in Wales. The Holyhead, Bangor, Tregaron, and Lampeter Boards of Guard- ians have already passed resolutiollsasking the Local Government Board to appoint a Welsh- speaking inspector as successor to Mr Birch- am, Notices of for a similar resolu- tion have been given at the Cardiff and the Aberystwyth Boards of Guardians.
