I he principal su bject of discussion w.'is a proposal from the international com- mittee, which met at Cologne, in favour of making the limitation of hours of under- ground labour to eight hours from bank to tinik an object of the federation. An amend- ment was submitted on behalf of France and (i-iniany with the object of including surface men within the limitation of hours, but even- tually this was withdrawn in order that the subject may be discussed to-day, and the original resolution was adopted. The conference of the Amalgamated Sooiety of Engineers from various parts of the United Kingdom was held at Leeds yest-rday. The I'resident, in his inaugural address, aid they would probably have to meet for a month, as the whole of the rules of the sooiety were to undergo revision. At the resumed sitting of the A.M.C. Man- chester Unity of Oddfellows ,.t Derby yester- day it was resolved, on the motion of the Cardiff district, to print lecture books in Welsh where necess"rv. l:otherham's pro- p(.'?toredur)'thc initiation fee from half-a- crown to a shilling was defeated by a large majority.

Sir John Jones Jenkins, Unionist candi- date for the Carmarthen i'oiougbs, addressed a meeting of tin-plate workers at Llanelly vesterdav, and in the evening a crowded gathering of the electors at the Athenseum- hall. Mr. Westlake Morgan was yestrday elected organist of Hngor Cathedral. The Welsh LawJ Tennis Tournament was continued at Penarth yesterday, and several of tue ilUpurhut finals were linished. Yesterday morning a meeting of carpenter* was held at the Ked Lion Inn, Merthyr, whell a proposal was brought forward in favour of a new cottrso of piocedure for bringing the dispute to a settlement. It was decided, how- ,r, to stand by the resolution of last week and adhere to the demand for an increase of Id. per hour. A royal sturgeon weighing 1771b. has been captured Ferr,side. Yesterday at Cardiff Police-court there were several convictions for shebeen keeping, making since September last a total of 240 convictions.

The passengers, numbering about 80, wore all rowed sarely ashore with the assistance of fishermen. I At Liverpool yesterday several men were fined for loitering in the streets for betting purposes.
I POLITICAL PROSPECTS IN SOUTH…
I POLITICAL PROSPECTS IN SOUTH WALES. It is an agreeable fact to note that the Unionists of South Wales are shaking off their lethargy and preparing for the general election. One by one the vacant places are being tilled up, and we may reasonably expect that by the fateful day there will be enough combatants to maintain a tight along the whole line. Only by persistent and ooutinnous lighting can the Unionists make inroads upon the strength of the Separatist host. A contest not only infuses fresh courage into a party, but has also great educative value. Another wholesome effect certain to follow upon a spirited policy is the cul- tivation of a more respectful and deco- rous behaviour by Radical representatives. Once a candidate is elected it is assumed that he oecomes the representative of the whole electorate in all matters not comprehended among the disputatious. But in Wales the average Radical member appears to feel a peculiar sense of joy in irritating his Unionist constituents. The latter should see to it that such gratuitously offensive conduct is resented at a period when the resentment can take a tangible and practical form, We are gl-tid that opponents are being found for most of the lladicals sitting for Welsh constituencies. On no account should the slightest consideration be shown the per- sonal convenience of members of a party which, rather than permit a popular -epresentative like Colonel the Hon- F. C. MORUAN to be returned unopposed, sanctions and assists the candidature of such an exponent of Radicalism as Baron JACOBY PROFCMO. It has already been announced that the East Glamorgan Division and the Merthyr .Boroughs will certainly be contested in the Unionist interest, and to-day we have authority for stating that Mabon is to be opposed. When the latter successfully fought against Mr. F. L. DAVIS it was as a labour candidate, and as such he had the vigorous support of the Western Moil We have evidence of the slowness with which It onoe-accepted truth ceases to have effect, though contradicted by the cir- cumstances, in the fact that to this day, or, at all events, until quite recently, Conserva- tives were found capable of subscribing to the "'Mabon' Maintenance Funl." And this despite Mabon's" subordination of labour to party interests. The Unionists of the Khondda Division have, how- ever, by this time realised the obvious truth that Mr. W, ABRAHAM is first of all a Separatist politician, whose services are at the beok and call of Radicals, whether the latter be capitalists of the type of Sir IIUSSKY VIVIAN or landlords like Mr. HLAXDY JENKINS. It is time that this condition of things should come to an end, and we eall upon all true Unionists to support to the uttermost Mr. LITTLE JOHNS or any other candidate brought forward for the purpose of ousting the -pparatist member for the lihondda Division.

In an excellent letter, whioh appears in ai.other column, Mr. JOHN LITTLKJOHNS puts the ilcme Rule question in a !Jnt.heIL The subject itself opem up a limitless field of speculation and argument, but, so far as Wales is concerned, the whole matter comes to this: Are the petitions of nine hundred and ninety Irish Dissenting ministers to be treated with contempt? Are the Noncon- formists of Wales wholly indifferent to the interests of their brethren in Ireland and content to see them handed oi er to the tender mercies of the worst kind of opponents, religious opponeuts P We take broader ground than this on the general question, but Nlr. LITTLKJOHNS has adopted the best method ot impressing upon Welsh Nonconformists the importation of gravsly considering their attitude towards the numerous Dissenters of UUltr. Perhaps, indeed, too little is mad* of this point. Whsn the Nonconformist oolliers of the Rhondda understand what Home Rule really means to their brethren in Ireland they will pause ere they consent to become parties to an arrangement which aims at the oppression of Irish Nonconformity. Mabon's" support of Hame Rule means in simple words the sup- porting of Catbolics against Nonconformists, and Mr. LITTLWOHKS is doing a service in driving that fact home into the minds of the colliers. Mr. LITTLKJOHNS' appeal to "Mabon" to renounce his past declarations is no persiflage, hot solemn aud significant talk. Mr. LIITLEJOHNS has been asked to contest the seat in the Unionist interest, and we believe we are to take it from his letter that, unless Mabon consents to give up fighting on behalf of Catholicism te the detriment of Dissent, there will oertainly be somebody to take up the cudgels on behalf of the Protestants, abandoned by their kind.

Poor "Eos Morlais" in his younger days was a little bit sat upon in one or two strange localities where he had been engaged to t-iog. At one place in Pemb.okeshire he turned to some of his audience, who were making a disturbance, and said, "Le:>k here, my fee is sale; I don't care whether I sing or not. Tmt depends on you!" A Welsh correspondent of an fcnglMi daily declared a day or two ago that Mr. S. V.Evans's conduct at the Mansion House was all the more inexcusable because a few days previously the hon. member had honoured precisely the same toast at another banquet. The striking charac- teristic of the average Welsh Radical member of Parliament is the ease wiih which he puts OD and takes off "strong convictions." One very stout gentleman got stuck in one of the turnstiles at the Batn Show on Friday, and was on exhibition in his pil.ory for some time. He caused almost as much admiration as did a yokel who was last avleep iu <yie of the pig pens, and was gazed at by thousands of passers by. One young lady. looking at his upturned face and open mouth, referred to her catalogue and said, What a noble i..I!" as usul, a big demand for kiss.in. ¡aOimal!" was, as usual, a b:g demand for kiss-in* the'rin at the school treats. At Cathays Park, Cardiff, where several Church scùool had aisem- bled, it was rigofuusdy prevented by the clergy. One young fellow kept persistently starting tbe game, tLI at length one of the clergy became so exa>perated that he landed the offender full in the face wirh his h-t, and there was every prospect of a etand-up light be'weeo them had not Bill Allen been on tne spot. A thick maze of discursive dulness hung over the proceedings of the Baptist Association at Llandilo on Tuesday. The seer. talked deep Wel.!>, and the Scotch or S ^xon j<1UrDAlist vas so much at sea as if lie were in the gallery of the Japanese Parliament. Ttie Rev. G. H. Roberts, who is president for the year, is the pastor of the Penuel Baptist Chapel, Carmarthen. He is a man of moderate views and doesn't talk the blatant stuff of the avenge Nonconformist miaister Mr. Brown, of Peuaith, for instance. Who will collect and hand down t;le anecdotes and sayings of Shon Thomas Berdar? He was drinking a quart of beer at the Lamb, Penderrin, and just then a spot of rain fell. He mounted his horse, which was fleet, and kept ahead of tbe storm until he reached Aberdare, and had just time to dismount and go into the stable when the rain foil. "Rain lie exclaimed, telling the tale, "1 couldn't leave the stable for three hours I" From Penderrin to Aberdare in the track of the flying horseman the crops were laid, or cut down* tUj by a ,cy, be I An ubiquitous correspondent of ours is now rambling about the Welsh water shed which Biro mingham is seeking to devour. Excitement is great there. If the Bill be carried into the Lord. the public-houses will go up 200 per cent. Plana and projects for others are being arranged. "You cannot," said a philosophic observer, U get artesian well water but by first pouring water down, but I defy you to get a large reservoir full of water without the consumption of a quantity of beert" When the National Eisteddfod was last held in the Carnarvon pavilion—the largest structure in North Walea-the Rev. Dr. Herber Evans made an excellent speech, taking for his subject "Kos Morlais, 'w ho had just sung the Eisteddfod song. Herber" advi-ed the youtig men present to make themselves B ft necessity." adding that" at an eisteddfod or a concert in Wales I Eos Morlais' is a necessity." "We must do wilhout him now" writes a correspondent. "Wales has had no Eisteddfod conductor since Mynyddog has gone, although many have conducted the Eisteddfod since lie died. We shall huve singers in Wales while the lightning glints the crown of Snowdon, but no tenor singer like I Eos Morlais' for one generation at least. Mcrien paid a visit on Sunday to Dr. Win Salmon, Penllyn Court, near Cowbridge. The venerable gentleman is 102 ye rs of age. He was seated outside in a chair on wheels, placed under the veranda in front of his residence. His face bore a most benevolent expression, and in reply to questions he said he was in perfect heolth- "had no ache anywhere." But he could not see objects distinctly, and the green fields before him appeared like one verdant sea, and the Fun- shine was like a white sheet. There the patriarch sits daily under his veranda, wearing a cap onjiis head, and a whistle, suspended from a Ftt ing, is hanging on his breast. He expressed his sorrow for the death of Cmon Edmoaues, nnd said he was one of his oldest friends. What is truly remarkable ab »at Dr. Salmon is that his intellect i@ ag clear as that of "man of half his age. His lau^h is still hearty and full of body. Air. Powell Williams, M.P., who is going down to Cardiganshire to aid the candidature of Mr. William Jones, isono of the men who have made Birmingham what it is. As chairman of the finance committee, he accomplished deerfs of tiuancial daring and ttuerpviia that or still spoken of by the" Rrutna" with admiration and gratitude.

The appearance of the annual reports on sea tisheri-s will once again attract attention to this important subject. When the Sea fisheries Act was passed, a few sessions ago, "hope sprung elastic in the human breast," that turbo" and soles would become as plenti- ful as herrings, and that the harvest of the se would be in a state of perpetual bloom and fruition, to gladden the hearts of all those who go down to the sea in ships f >r fishing purposes. The putting of the Act in operation, however, has revealed the fact th t the committees appointed under it have practioally no power to promote the sea fishing industry beyond regulating the size of the nets and the width of the mesh. Fish come in shore to spawn, and the young ones are thus hatched in shallow waters. The consequence is that the tish are caught by thousands in the shrimp nets and trawls, and the fishermen are so indifferent to tbeir own interests that they do not restore the imma- ture fish at once to the water, but throw them on one side to die. One would think that when a Sea Fisheries Act was passed one of the first clauses would be prohibitory to the taking of immature fish, and framed some- what similarly to the prohibitory clauses of the Lohster and rab Act, which form a piecedent —that great machine by which Parliamentary procedure is regulated. The sea fisheries committees, composed largely of practical men, who are "up" to the loopholes of statutes, at their earliest meetings framed bye-laws compelling the immediate restoration to the sea of all immature fish. The Board of Trade, however, struck out the clauses as being ultra vires; and although the com- mittees retained the clauses in the bye-laws and again submitted them a secondtime, with an intimation that the committees' action would be useless without power of the kind suggested, the Board of Trade again struck the pen through the clauses, rightly raying that it was useless to retain in bye-laws what could not be enforced by statute law. The next step the committees took was wltb. regard to the protection and development of mussel and oyster beds. It may not be generally known that the mussel is not only in great demand for edib!e purposes in our large towns, but is the most taking bait far deep sea fishing. At the mouths of 80me of the W*lsh rivers the beds yield a profit of two hundred or three hundred pounds a year to fishermen. It may also not be generally known that some forty years ago one of the finest oyster beds in the kingdom existed in one of the Welsh bays. It almost makes the mouth water to know that oysters were so plentiful that large numbers of men were engaged in dredg- illg, and it was worth while to charter a steamer to take the mollusks to the LiverDool market In course of time the beds were destroyed, and now it is difficult to get one hundred oysters in a day's dredging. The j Iiuissi'l beds are undergoing u similar process of ilei'trnctiiin, and the newly-lo metl committees have no power if stop it, for they h.ve no power to prevent the taking of small musseis, nor can they appoint ollicers and pay thi in out of the funds to remove mussels from one part of a river to another to create new beds.

The Bath and West and Southern Counties Society have every reason to lie pleased with their visit to Swansea, It is an old axiom that money makes the mare to go, and even agricultural societies, lofty as may be their j ain,, i,d although they sometimes display their o'i iinterestedness by visiting such placcs as Dorchester, Tunbridge Wells, and even (,xfoi-d cai)iiut afford to lie independent of the nimble shilling or the slightly more dilatory hali'-a crown. Financially, the society ought to bo vrell satisfied, and the proiits accruing to them from the pock-t. of the inuustrial I Welshman will enable ihem m future years to set up high standards f excellence j before the agricultural populations ot I more sparsely peopled districts of England. \VaIl8ea is hecoming noted for good gate- Th? unprecedented success of the Mational Eisteddfod, in the tenth of the adverse disposition of the! I- eleiiiaiitit," was proof that the dense populations of the western pa-t of can turn out ill imposing array when there is anything notaworthr to be seen or heard at their gales. As far as the show itself is concerned opinions ditfer. 'n the one hand, the num- ber of cattle and horses appeared to be hardly up to expectation, whilst the implement merchants, perhaps, did not find their "Ihops" so profitable as they would in a better agricultural district. But every- thing shown was of excellent quality, and the dairy competitions wete admittedly the best which have ever taken place. Turn we, then, to the most satisfactory feature of all. Swansea 111 attendances and receipts beats every town visited in the history of the sooiety, with the exception of Bristol and Bath, Towns of larger population, such as Plymouth, Brighton, and Cardiff, were totally eclipssd in the general result, whilst smaller places, inliuitely more accsssible to the great centre., were left further behind in the race. inearly sevetitv-tbi-ee thousand persons visited the show, and the sooiety look over five thousand pounds in admission money. On the whole, the malts are highly creditable to our busy and opulent county of Glamor- gan, and the Ba.b and West and Southern Counties Sooiety may be excused if they in future turri their eyes more often in the direc- tion of "poor little Wales."

LONDON LKTTER. [rilO'I OUIt I.0NT1JV èl:Uj(HPÚSDISfS] LOIJO. It; ISOAY. "Sir.i.Y DAYS." If there are any days in London whioh may properly he described as illy," in the sense in which we opeak of the "silly season," they are the days after Bank holidays. Silly they literally are, inaslllneD as it is almost impos- sible to either woi-1; oi- play on sucb. occa- sions. They are not holidays, and they certainly are not working days. ( oioparatively few or those who have occupations have the audacity to franld) gin. up the pretence of working and take a clear whole holiday and enjoy it. Instead of that we crawl to our offices late in the morning, spend a few useless and uncon- scionably dull hours in lonely rooms, and sneak aivay again hours before the usual closing time. The day is wasted absolutely, ami worse than wasted when it happetiti to fall on a spell of glorious weather, which is the case to-dav; for the few hours at the office suffice to (ill us all with a genuinely bad temper. On a dull day oue can get up some bick work, but who could with the sun I pouring in at every window. TH VACANCY AT NOEWO D. Mr. Bristowe's death, so peculiarly painful in its attendant circumstances, cannot be said to affect the political situation. There will bo no bye-election, and N orwood is so entirely Conservative that the per- sonality of the Conservative candidate is not an imporlant factor in the situation. Mr. Bristowe had a majority of nearly 1,000 in IKS"), so assuming all the Liberals woo abstained from voting in lSS6 went solid for tue Uladtonian at tbe cominlt election, it would not give them a majority. Nor is th"re anything at all alarming in the Conservatives of the locality alai-m i l?g ill the (, being unprepared with a candidate," of which the London papers make so much. Naturally, they made no attempt to get an under-study to Mr. Bristowe; there was no reason for doing so; and now that a candidate is wanted, the only difkonlty will be in avoiding offence in the caKe of the number who will no. be chosen for the sut. It is a con- stituenoy everyone would like to hav; the choice of candidates will be practically un- limited, GLADSTONIAN BIDS FOR VOTRS. I Tories cannot afford to view with equani- mity the bids made by alarmed Hladatonianii for the labour vote. How dire is their extremity may be seen from the humiliating manner in which Mr. Gladstone has himself been compelled to kneel and kiss the rod. His recmit humble rsquest to be allowed to see the eight hours deputation will do him no good with the labour men. Although they have consented to see him, they remember that only a few weeks a £ 0 Mr. Gladstone haughtily refused to acknowledge their existence. They are quite aware that bis present attitude is one of political expediency, dictated by panic. If he got into office on the back of the labour men he would kick away his support directly he was in Downmg-street, just as he did with the rurals II 1886. The labour men know this, and severely distrust Mr. Gladstone and all his works. As for our ide. we are contented to know that on all labour questions Tories lead and Gladstonians follow. This is shown, not only in the eight hours question, as to which Lord Salisbury and klr. Balfour saw a deputation and discussed the matter frankly with them, bat on a whole string of questions. Lord Salisbury, for in- stance, has Mouuded the first note in the n w policy of defending the workmen's interests against the disastrous foreign tariffs, and it has been left for that active and able Tory, ,ur. Ernest Spencer, to make a serious effort to establish a Department of Labour. Mr. Gladstone scowls and snubs that efort, ignoring the fact that one of his own m-n- Mr, Dalziel-made an ineffectual attempt to forestall Mr. Spencer by a little thing of his own. (Ill this point I can safely say that, though Mr. Gladstone may scowl and snub, it is one of the probabilities of the future that a Ministry of Labour will be one of the Tory achievements. THE BYE-ELECTIONS. The lamentable death of Mr. Bristowe, the member for Norwood, creates the third vacancy necessitating a bye-e,eetion. There will not, however, be any more bye-elections this Parliament. By mutual consent it has been agreed to withhold the writs and thereby defer the contests to the general election. That is as regards two casPI. In the third, that of West Essex, the simpler course has to be adopted of deferring the issue of Sir H. ilelwin lbbetson's patent of peerage. his agreement entails no sacrifioe on thepart of Gladstonians. Two of the seats in question we are sure to keep anyhow, for in Norwoed Mr. Bristowe's majority was 933 in 8S.5, and in West Essex Sir H. Selwin lbbstson's was 1,744. Only in Pembroke, where the late Admiral Wayne captured a seat from the Gladstonians in 1S36, was there any doubt of the result at a bye-election. THE ANTI-TIVISICTIONISTS. The Parliamentary return just issued show- ing the number of experiments performed on living animals by licensed vivisectors has, as usual, been receired with dissatisfaction by the anti-vivisection societies. Their objec- tions talie the form of vague and, 1 believe, unjust generalities, such as that" the inspec- tors are pro-vivisectors, with a bias in favour of the experiments as against the animals," and "that the worst features of this business are shrouded from the public." The anti's attaoh importance to the fact that during 1891 there was an increase of 25 per oent. in the number of experiments admitted to have been made, and that most of these were carried out under the certificate which permits experiments without aniesthetics. Further, it is alleged that, although the licences numbered 152, the inspectors made only 131 visits, "and accepted the vivisectors' reports in blind faith without having witnessed their proceedinls." liiially, I am asked to state as the opinion of the anti's that "such inspection is a farce, a, d leads only to one conviction, that physio- logical laboratories are centres of hidden terrors." What I b, ve seen of the ways of anti-vivisectionists leads to only another con- viction, namely, that they are void of that nice exactitude about fact necessary in scientific research, and are prone to take things too muoh for granted. according as they may desire in their laudable zeal to save animals from suffering. A WHITSUN EXODUS. I My surmise yesterday, founded purely on observation, that this Whitsun has witnessed the biggest exodus out of London any holi- day bas known, is fully confirmed by the statistics. The Great Fastorn, for instance, on Monday carried 100,000 more passengers out of town than it did last year. It carried 155.000 passengers to stations within twenty miles of London. The North London carried 20.000, the City and South London Electric 23,000, the Tilbury and Southend 25,000, and the Brighton Company 30,000. These are all Monday returns only. Of the companies that give a three days' return, including Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, the South Eastern carried 87,000, the North Western over 30,000, and the Great Western 35,000, The Great Northern traffic has been the best on record, and on Saturday no fewer than ten long-distance expresses were run in duplicate. The Midland also reports a much heavier traffic than last year. Of the show places the Crystal Palace holds the record with an attendance of 40.349, of whom 24,000 were carried by the Chatham and Dover line. The Earl's Court xbibition swallowed 43,646, Venice in London 30000, Kosherville Gardens 20,670, the Zoological Gardens 23,762, 31adame Tussaud's and the Kensington Museum about 16,000 each, and over 100,000 persons made their way to Hampton Court by road, river, or rail. DEATH or A JOCBNALIST. I I have just been informed of the death of I Mr. Walker, who has for a quarter of a century occupied the responsible posi- tion of I .ondon editor for the Olas- jtOW Herald and Letdt Mercury. Mr Walker has been dying of consumption for. some time. He was one of the most success- ful and best known of the provinoial journalists in London, and peraonally was esteemed by all who had the pleasure of bis I acquaintance. For month. past it hR% been a patu"(,c thing to hear thp daily inquiry ??; tbe i.,it,.eiitary ioiir;.aii>ts—almost the first inquiry uf the flay—" vWll, how's Walker t" Personal ly, I knew very little of Mr. Walker, hut among- his friends were many of my own, and I h:ue heard sullii ient of his amiable qualities to be able to join sincerely in the 6Äple"lon8 of regret at his death. THE l'UBLfC PRo-uxuroit. It is reported in legal circles that Sir AUlHtlls Keppel Stephenson, the solicitor to the J rasury and Public Prosecutor, will shoitly resign h is office. In that event he would probably be succeeded by the Hon. Hamilton .Jobn r\ ¡:mondisb1lm Criffe, the senior assistant solicitor. The salary of the Public Prose- cutor is £ '3.000a year, and esch of the three assistant solicitors receives half as much. THE MY-TKRY OF THK CH;«UKS. A few days ago 60 or IJI) crossed cheques were found in the dust-bin of one of the West End clubs—a club better known for its spleudid hospitalities and its social attractions thau for its political nroalivities. the mystery of the chc-ques, uncashed and unaccounted for, has been solved, or is being solved, hy the committee. Some davs previous the club's accountant had taken unto him the wings of an American liner and tied to Amerioa. He left behind him sufficient to show that he miscalculated his accounts to the extent of a hundred pounds. I Under the circumstances, the committee were disposed to let him go and" thank God we be quit of a The finding of the cheques bas induued them to re-consider the matter, and it is now thought that the cheques were thrown awav where they would afterwards be found, for the purpose of tem- porarily bamboozling the accounts and con- cealing greater defalcations till the culprit had made his escape beyond the bounds of civili- aation.
REPRESENTATION OF THE RHONDDA.
REPRESENTATION OF THE RHONDDA. PROBABLE CANDIDATURE OF MR. JOHN LlTTLliJOHNS. Although no official reply bas yet been received by the gentlemen who waited upon Mr. John Littlcjohns, of Fcrndalt, to a.k him to earnest the RliontWa Division in the Unionist interest, ti,ere is rvery reason to believe that bo will accedj to the requests of Unionists end come forward as a candidate in opposition to Mr. W. Abraham, M.P., tho sitting member. Mr. | Littlejolms is well known and liigtily respected in the Rlionddn.and has recently attained considerable fame in connection with his political novel," The Flowing Tide." For many years he hAs made a special study of political questions both at horn and ab oid. Although Nh-. Littlejolms is a Cnionis so far as the Home Rule question is comerned, he bolds Liheral views on the chief political topics of the day. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WESTEBN MATL." SIB,—Permit me to say that the reports which have lately appeared in the Inees are quite correct, and that I have been requested to contest the local seat in the Unionist interest at the npproaching general election. I have not yet uommuuivated auy reply to the gentlemen who have pressed me to stund. It wasonce considered an honour in it.elt to possess a .eat in Purliament, but tht I i.e Wl8 long since passed -way, and nothing but the immense importance of tbe great question at issue-the question of the repeal of ttis Untaii-would tempt me to face the thankless bluster of an electioneering contest. The momeu- taus issues of tb. anproacliing general election are knewn to those who tiave studied the histories of the rise and fall of the migmy Empires of the world. Wtiat the Peloponessian war was to ancient (irssce, what the erection of another capital by Onstantlne wa. to the Impri,1 city of Roice, wbat t. quarrels of the Ta imiies and Ommades were to the Arabs, the triumph of Separatism in t-io coming cenflict will he to the grana old Empire which we are proud to call our own. The I uLti'inpt to ?.pe,l the Act of Uui m is a mark of contempt for U,e teaching. "t the history of the world. From rhe settlement Of tfw C»o*titutioD bv the Bill of R 91 to to th. m.morabie ".ar when Mr. Gi.dt.? hbnndooeJ th. con",dlO'" of a lif- time, t4o neee<y for maintaining certain fixed principles wis ttcagnised by both of the historic parties In the State. Liberalism aimed at the expansion of these principles, whilst the province "I Toryism was to see that those expan- lon8 lid not interfere with the N.rii1118¡ faith ofoureountry. Coalition Ministries would i??,s been impossible if both p.r?es had not r.coIDIS.. the "elity for maintaining the p'I.. ciples which bad given ths Constitution its biitli. But, if It be right to repeolllle Act of Union, it cannot be wrong to lOpoAI the Bill of Rights, to> propose the uboMtion ?f Keyalty, to thunder to the ground the mighty fabric ut the Constitution itself. From the sear 11100 to the year 18SQ the naUtenanceof the Act of Union WAS th'iui;lit to be as sacred as the maintenanee of the Bill of Rights. Tw.nty-three Prime Mioisturs, from Pitt to Gladstone, representing .ri.u. s?b..L. .1 thought, were at one upen tbe necessity for maintaining the unity ot the British Isles. Bis- tori.ns wto" tuivs examined the causes of Ire- land's sarrow and Ireland's 8hdme have told a thaI the Act of U ,Is. was l be crowning glory of ;ilt's magnificent career. The proposal to repeal that Act took away the breath 8f the civilised world, ueligoted the nations who long for Eegl.nd's itownfill, and S led the Protestants 01 the iimemld Me with a feallug of dark .ie>pair Can we wonder at iL ? Do e forget the organised attempt that was made in 1641 to annihilate their fathers in a river of blomf Kifiy thousand of them were sliujhtered. Some were burned on set purpose," says M iy, others drowned for sport or psstiine, and, if iliey owhw, kept from latitiinig with pules, or shot ør murdered in tlie water. Seme were buried quick, and some set into tbe eiirth breast-high, aud there left to famish. No ugn, no sex, no condition was spared. The Pro- lesuntj, its heretics abhorred of G >d, were marked out for cruel slaughter.

By tha memories of those wrongs, by tll. dreail of their repetition in the fu ure, the "Protestants of the Emerald Isle have begged us not to npeal the Act of Unien.

The local press supports the repeal of the Act of Union because it mutit follow in the wake of local public feaiing.
