CARDIFF'S FINANCJCS. I TQ,.TKK EDITOR OF THill WK6TIKM MAIL." »ir,—I have read with pleasure the -ibis letter by "Te. I believe it is the feeling of every Conservative not to grind down by a false economy th* working man, and bv that I mean the real toiler, whether he mav be found in the yard or in the office. It i, the big man*s screw we would attack. Louis Blanc, in his "Organisation du Travail," says:—*»Xo man can do more tlian his <1: wok. and for this he should be paid; if paid for more thau that, the increase is unfairly earned for him by some- body else, whose labour has not beeu adequately rewarded."

SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN I ENDEAVOUR. MEKTIJFG OF THE SOUTH WALES CONVENTION AT CARDIFF. Wednesday was the first day of the third annual oonveutiou of the South Wales and Moumoutlisfiiio Union of the Young People's Society of C'ntstiuu Kudeavour in Cardiff. In the afternoon the annual Endeavour sermon was preached by the Rev, T. Stephens, B.A., of Wellingborough, before a large oongrega- iou ia betltany Baptist Chapel. Imme- diately aftenvaids the ceremony of receiving and welcoming the delegates, to the number of something like 300, took place in the adjoin. ing school hail, by Mr. Kobert Bird, J.P. 1'h reception proceedings included refresh- ments and addresses by Mr. E. D. Jenkins, president of the Cardiff Union; the Rev. John I'ugh, and Mrs. Symoud? of Swansea. After an adjournment the visitors, and also a large number of local Endeavoured and those interested in the movement, again assembled in Bethany Chapel at the evening's public meeting. Here the Rev. T. W. Medlmrst presided, and de- livered an address upon "Consecrated Enthu- siasn). Quoting the late Mr. Spurgeon, he warned tliem against behaving in their Chris- tian life like rats behind the wainscot, who only showed themselves when no one was near. —Mr. W. Anthony Hughes next spoke, his subject being the work done in South Wales and Monmouthshire. He pointed out that the movement had made rapid strides since its commencement all through the district. lis 1888 they had one society, three years later there were live, and in July of 1893, when their first oonvention was held at SWMlliea., 26 societies had been enrolled. Last year at Merthyr there were 89, while to-day the number of registered societies was 122, which,! with 36 societies unregistered, made a total of 158. Returns had been sent in from 104 of tle, tIt: h..h I numbered z.928 active members, 1,174 asso- ciated members, 335 honorary members, and 697 junior members, making a grand total of 5,166 enmued End?vourer?. Cardiff possessed twenty societies, containing, in all, 909 mem- bers.-In an address on the society's "prin- ciples and methods," the Rev. W. Ambrose Williams said sectarianism and denOmiD&-] tionalism damned many would-be Christians,- The Rev. Charles Ayliffe, of Newport, Woo spoke eloquently on "Sources of Power."

VOLUNTEERS AND EFFI- CIENCY. UNSATISFACTORY STATE OF THE LAW. A CASE FROM CARDIFF. Mr. Labouehere, writing in this week's I "Truth," tiays Attention has been drawn by Major Thornley, commanding a division of En- gineer Volunteers, to the unsatisfactory state of the law in regard to the enforcement of fines imposed on Volunteers for failing to make them- selves emctCYtt. Major Thomley reports that, navinsf prooeeded against two of hi* men in Cl??vdinig ff 'li?court, he obtained an order for paynnt of £ 5. or in default one month's im- prisonment. The men declined to pay, and the stipendiary, after studying certain recent correspondence on the point in the "Justice of the Pnaoe," declined to commit, but offered to state a state for a superior court. Major Tuomley then reported the situatiou to the War Offioe, and asked for authority to proceed, but the answer from the Commander-in-Uniff was that no action seemed to be required at present. Most people will agree with Major Thornier that this decision leaves matters in an unsatisfactory position, for it is liD utter absurdity that fines imposed for breach of niili- tary disoipline should only be recoverable as a debt in a civil court; and not onlv would such procedure tend to still further slacken disci- pline in the Volunteers, but it adds materially to the risks of commanding-officers, who incnir liabilities in anticipation of their men earning grants for efficiency.

LOCAL LAW CASES. TENNANT v. SWANSEA HARBOUR TRUSTEES. Mr. Justice North, in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, resumed the hearing on Wednesday of the summons by the Swansea. Harbour Trustees to compel Mrs. Tennant to furnish further accounts as to the tolls received for the carriage of coal over certain portions of the Red Jacket Canal. The summons raised the ??ation as to how much of the ?tnal was within :or Hilr?y, been he!d"thH the defendants were entitled to a toll upon certain coal and other goods carried over that part of the canal that was within the manor. The case has occupied several days, and in the result Mr. Justice North directed an ao: to be taken on the portions of the order, with the modifications suggested during the bearing of the summons. Judgment on the question 7.d as to the limits of Kilvey Manor was reserved. ™K POWDERHAM STEAMSHIP COM- PANY Y. R. p. HOUSTON AND CO. On Wedn?dav the Court of Appeal disposed of the appeal of the defendants ? lr, l i?,ed appeal of the plaintiff company from judg- ment of Mr. Justice Bruce, sitting in the Admiralty Division. The plaintiffs had, under l'harter-part. contracted to oouvey, on hoard their steamship Powderham, from G-ias- row and Liverpool, certaui carifo, including thi-eshin-g machines, to the River Plate. On her wav out the \801 put in at Cardiff and took •n a large quantity of bunker ooals, and the learned judge found that she had, allogetlcr. I 520 tons in excess of what she required for the voyage. He allowed them £1,340 168, bd. in re.spcct of balance due on freight, and found for tho defendants on their counter claim the sum of £263, allowing £95 on account of the reduced carjjo .^puce through the vessel being loaded excessively with bunkers.—The Court of Appeal on Weduesday dismissed both al>1)ei\!s.

Smith and Rigby, disposed of the df?,?d..t company's ,pl-l from the judg- ment of Baron Pollock, at the trial ?ith."t, a iurv in Middlesex, in favour of the plaintiffs, awarding them L389 16,. 6d. for short delivery of coal from the ltafod Colliery, imder a ten years' contract, dating from December 22. 1879. The contract wa-s originally with Mr. Thonuts Jones, who sold, conveyed, and assigned the ooUierv and all leases to the defendant com- pany. The coals were to be delivered from the 'xt's mouth at Cardiff to the plaintiffs, who r- business at 58, Leadeuhall-street, Lon- don. The d?feitee waK that the plaintitt'f) had su ffere d damages ?h.t.?er, -,I tl??t If the, had sustained .? it was owing to the com- j binations of the colliery workmen in Glamorgan- shire, who d,d .t. work on the first Monday of every -lend- month or on Bank Hol,d.?;. and tt?-? arrangements stopped the workings on the dates on which ort deliveri? were alleAjed.—The Master of thw Rolls upheld the iudgment of the Court helow. with costs.- Lords Justices A.

CARDIFF INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. The fortieth annual report (1894) of the Cardiff Industrial School, H.M.S. Havannah, has just been issued. On compariug the superintendent's statil!otic. with those of the preceding jear, it appears that there were no less boys on board at the end of 1894 f.t1 at the same date in 1893, there having been as many a-s twelve cases of transfer to othav schools, vet the average number on board was one more, viz., 87, against 86. The return of discharged boys during three pre- ceding years, with their present charàcter and circumstances, affords satisfactory ev' dcnce of the reformatory influence of the training on board; six of the 63 discharged in that time have since died. Of the 57 survivors, 53, or 93 per cent., are known to be doing well, one cannot be traced. and one, who absconded, has been convicted of crime-- only one knewn failure nut of 63, and that one whoso term had not been completed.

SIR E. J. REED AND THE I FREEDOM OF CARDIFF. I SUGGESTION OF A SUITABLE I INSCRIPTION FOR THE CASKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WESTERN HAIL." I Sir,-Certain members of the corporation seem determined, for some reason or other, that no reference shall be made in the inscription on Sir Edward Reed's casket to tbe occasion which prompted the coanty borough connoil to bestow this signal honour on the honourable member. But for Sir Edward Reed's announcement, some months ago, that he would not seek re-election for Cardiff on the dissolution of Parliament there wbuld have been no proposal to make him' an honorary freeman of the borough. There would hive been no occasion for it. But when Sir Edward informed the president of the Liberal Thousand that his political connection with Cardiff would cease with the existing Parliament the corporation at once decided to mark the occasion by conferring its highest honour upon him. And yet the inscription makes no reference to tbe event whatever. Indeed, it does not indi- cate, even vaguely, that Sir Edward has retired, or contemplates retirement, from the represen- tation of Cardiff. The inscription Defers to his services from. 1880 to 1895; but it is possible that this Parliament may oling to oflloe till 1898. What about the additional three years P During that coming period Sir Edward may be able to render even more valuable and distinguished services to our town and port than he has accom- plished during all the fifteen important years that lie behind. Then, when he does ultimately and finally cease to represent Cardiff, what publio recognition is to be made of the years in whi?h he may have rendered ug the mMt eminent .8r?,,ees of .11 t The opposition to a natural reference being made in the inscription to Sir Edward's teure. ment from the representation of Card is nn- doubtedly raisi"g'' ''?"'onin many nands that he b. it now finaIFy resolved to take this Btep and that while his poHtiod supporters on tbe Cardiff Brough Council we taking advm. tago of the generous impwøe of their Conserva- tive muegues to unite in reeogniing dis- :;ni:d:b\icto8::l::e ndo=1' d:; eminent man, they are "t the same time careful that Sir Edward bull be free, if m a". on re- 7uires, apd lie himself dem" to be a madideae for C?liff at the next general election. It is well known that there is a movement on foot to ;eEdt:: to 'wtthdmw hM rem)pn- tion nd it is *tated tha if the movement TO- oeives large support the honourable member will be prepared to a?o«ie W it. be 'IV¡:=,truL4:c \I,ill ftata of dA\rs, is it wiee to nrooccJ wivh tbe oe——tation of Uw frcudom?

I suggest the following as a suitable inscrip- tion Presented to Sir Edward James Beed, K.C.B., If.P., with the honorary freedom of the couuty borough of.

MU. OSCAR WILDE. I LIVING WITH HIS WIFE IN I LONDON. It has been asctrtained on trustworthy a'.thority that Mr. Oscm Wilde on leavilllC the Midland Hotel at St. Pancras last week did not, as reported, proceed to UablMcombe, near Torquay, for the purpose of retvuiting lug health. Aa a matter of fact, Mr. Wilde, oiMK his release, has never been near the South Coast. It is tftaited in a quarter where Mr. Wilde's movements are well known that he has joined his jl, and that, if not actually staying with her' in tbe .toplis, has, at .11 f?veam, taken up 'his residence until tl::ndenJ uresent wee k in oz? quiet and oeoiuded neighbourhood in the immediate vicinity.
