South Wales Notes. THE reply of Mr Harpur on the scheme for weiring the Taft at Cardiff will be read with interest by those who are concerned in the project, and by these I would include nearly the whole of Cardiff. I am sorry to see on reading it, that the personal tone which has been regretably given to the discussion has not been without some influence in parts of the report. I note also that Mr Harpur declares that lie had prepared him- self for the hostility of the press, and so on.. Well, I myself cannot see what these things have to do with weiring the Taff. If we go on at this rate we shall have to get up a scheme for weiring the animosities in the case, and then the matter will be useless. As a lion-expert I am not, of course, going to adjudicate between different experts. When doctors differ the patient is liable to die but I hope that this will not be the case now. There is I trust too lively an interest in the I project for that. Mr Harpur concludes with a very good suggestion, to the effect that as the matter is of great importance the several reports should be referred to some eminent engineer who has had great experi- ence in works of this character, and that his opinion shall be taken upon the issue. So far as the corporation are concerned, per- haps, that may be a wise course to follow. At any rate let the matter be dealt with at once, and settled one way or the other. THE meeting of the Rhondda Chamber of Trade yesterday, was marked by the dis- cussion of one or two important matters, which have agitated the minds of the dwellers in the Valley for some time past. Without perhaps as much notice of their in- tention as might have been given, the Chamber have made up their difliculty with the gas company, and once again the lamps are lighted with gas. Considering, however, that the shop-keepers stood so strongly on the subject I should not be surprised to hear a few grumbles. It is, however, decidedly a good thing that the matter has been ar- ranged. The old question of the county court for the Rhondda was also discussed, and a resolution as to the desirability of having a court for the valley was passed unanimously. The block of business at Pontypridd is sometimes severe, and undoubtedly causes some inconvenience and loss, and I think that is a stronger argu- ment than the one founded upon the dis- tance of Pontypridd from the towns of the valley. This, I fancy, is the view of the majority. THE meeting at Abergavenny, at which the "joke of politics let off a customary effusion, was a tame affair. Mr Ashmead- Bartlett is a gentleman whose cliief political qualities are an eye-glass and unbounded impudence and it would be difficult to say which of the two is of the more importance. Jt ia.; on the whole, a kind of fusion of the two. The wonderful thing about him is that he can possibly believe in himself and this is of itself an illustration of the as- toundingly insignificant substance on which a Tory can found a solid belief. His only claim to notoriety is tho un- blushing manner in which time after time he rose in the House of Commons to badger the Ministry on some point of foreign policy on which he was always either profoundly ignorant cr unutterably stupid. These were, of course, rare recommenda- tions from a Tory point of view; so that now that party have reduced themselves to the humiliation of seeing him strut about the country as one of the leaders. His speech on Thursday evidenced alike his ability and his truthfulness. A maa who can deliberately say that by the Reform Act of 1832 the Liberals took away the votes of the working men that the new Reform Act was due chiefly to the Conser- vatives and that Mr Ashmead-Barclett had never been guilty of obstruction, makes statesments for which Lord Iddesleigh has suggested the only appropriate designa- tion—" Thumping lies." I REFERRED recently to the then forthcoming meeting of the Liverpool Welsh National Society, and to the address to be delivered by Mr Lewis Morris. I must confess I was hardly prepared for him to take quite so straightforward a view as to the neglect of Wales and the Welsh. I was nevertheless quite glad to see it. The neglect of Welsh matters, and the ridicule thrown upon them by all parts of the English is proverbial. Mr Rathbone does not hold this view. I cannot gather on what ground, however. I have often spoken of it, and have on many occasions pointed to certain results of it. It is not, of course, a political, or at all events not a party question, and it is one which affects all classes in the principality. I do not deny that in some respects Welsh- men arc themselves to blame and perhaps T would differ somewhat from some of the causes to which Mr Lewis Morris would attribute the effect. The matter is not, however, at all beyond remedy, and the speaker went very near the mark when he urged that all should "cultivate those characteristics of the times which tend to assist the advancement and happiness of the people." The subject is one which may well attract the attention of all thoughtful Welshmen. THAI must have been a envious meeting on the platform of the small station near Hawarden between Mr Chamberlain and the clergymen. The report says that the right honourable gentleman was an "object of much curiosity and interest to the clergy men who came face to face with him from an archidiaconal visit. One can imagine them regarding him from the lofty height of established religion, and looking upon him as a kind of evil spirit destined to effect their discomfiture. The curiosity of country rectors is proveibinl. andstrollgin thestrength of numbers and archidiaconal grace, they must have been moved with much righteous indignation. Well, I hope it did them good, for if not, I am afraid it did nobody else any harm. One can, of course, understand how much the clergy dislike Mr Chamberlain, because they are ahvays doing all manner of unreasonable things. But it is, after all, very absurd that the man who is but the leader of people only too willing to follow, should be signalled out for special hatred. It is not Mr Chamberlain who will disestab- lish the Church, but the body of the people. Spleen, however, cannot be easily divided over millions, and so it is mainly concen- n'ated on one individual.

THE employment of girls and women on the pit banks of collieries in this district is not at all general, the number being very small. In some of the Monmouthshire collieries, round Tredegar for instance, girls and young women may be seen filling and push- ing trams on the pit bank, and it is difficult to say what other occupation they could follow if a law were enacted preventing them being so employed. Some of them might, perhaps, procure situations as general servants, but probably they would prefer their independence. Mr T. NORBURY, of Leigh, Lancashire, in a letter to a contemporary, says :— "I sincerely trust that no agitation will be raised against the employment of women in healthful outdoor occupations of any kind. Fine clothes about a pit brow would be out of place, either on the women or on the in- telligent and highly-trained gentlemen who manage the works. The women are doubt- less coarse in manner and in speech, but not more so than others in the same rank of life. They are the sisters and daughters of colliers, and education must refine both sexes together. When the women's work is over for the day they are well and sometimes stylishly dressed. They are alert, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked English damsels, and they have money in their pockets. They are fit to be the mothers of soldiers or of British workmen. When I observe the puny physique of our city-bred girls I wish we had more of these colliery I Venuses to maintain the stamina of our race. Of course, it is highly desirable that the future wives of working men should be trained in domestic duties but while the surplus females are driven into the world's fair to pick up a living as best they can, do not deprive them of their few remaining chances of healthful outdoor occupations and happy lives. Do not drive them into the ranks of the stitchers or, I was about to say, worse. Until the community can secure an honour- able livelihood for every woman, or until the noisy modern Puritans will put their hands in their pockets for the purpose of furnishing women with some fitting and fairly remunerative employment, the less interference with colliery girls the better.

A CARDIFF correspondent writes to us to complain of the theft of his ash-bucket, and avers that he is not the onJy one who has recently been thus robbed. Soon after the present system of collecting house refuse was inaugurated, complaints of buckets and other receptacles being often stolen were very common, but after the detection and conviction of an offender the thefts ceased. Now that such petty depredations are again being committed, it is to be hoped the police will keep a smart look out. A big ash bucket cannot be carried away in the thief's pocket.

A RHONDDA PARENT AND HIS I WI LL.I At the Pontypridd county court on Friday- before His Honour Judge Gwilym Williams- some extraordinary proceedings came on. An action was tried at the last county court to recover the amount of ;Clb ÓS 4d, being the amount due on a promissory note given by John Davies, Porth, son of Morgan Davies, for the balance of the purchase money of houses bought by John Davies from his sister, Mrs Rawlings. Judgment was given for the plaintiff. Mr W. Evans (in- structed by Mr W. R. Davies) now applied on behalf of John Davies, for a new trial and recti- fication of the deed. it was alleged that John Davies gave the note on consideration that the .father, Morgan Davies, would execute a will devising to John Davies certain property, but that since that time this condition had been revoked. The learned judge granted the application for a new trial, and in the atternoon the evidence of Morgan. Davies, an old and feeble man, was taken, so as to relieve him from re-attendance at the court. Mr Rhys (Morgan and Rbys) examined Morgan Davies, who said he remem- bered purchasing houses in IJ, .rth. It was after- wards arranged that he should make a wili in favour of his son, lVIorgau Davies, provided that Morgan maintained witness aud his wife (Morgan's mother) as long as they lived, and found them all necessaries. He first lived with his son, and upon that son getting married, he (witness) lived with Morgan and his wife. Subsequently he and his son fell out. Witness and his wife had orders that they must quit the house, and they did 30. After witness and his wife quitted his son above, the son had, witness said, paid -61 a month towards their maintenance. That was three years ago, but the payments had been withheld during the last nine months. Witness's wife was dead. When he left his son's house he might, perhaps, have made another will.—Mr Evans: But did you?—Wit- ness Yes.—Mr Evans: Up to the time you made that will you were receiving £ 1 a month from your son ?—Witness I don't remember.—Mr Evans: Is it not a fact that your son refused to give you further the payment of Li a week when he discovered you had made another will ?—Wit- ness: No I don't know that.—Mr Evans: When did you make that wili ? Witness I don't know.—Mr Evans: Did you leave the pro- perty to him in the second will ?—Witness No. —Mr Evans Who told you you had the power to make another will ?--Witnes,% I have the power to do it again.—Mr Evans: But who told you that ?-Wit,,CSS Mr Walter Coffin. If I like I shall make another -.Vill.-In further cross- examiuation, witness said that lie had never assigned a spcified promissory note (in connection with the house-purchase transaction) to Air Hop- kin Sinith Davies when he made his will.—Mr Evans Be careful; did you not do so with the house of your daughter ?-NVtnes-% No.—The Judge There was an endorsement by the mark. —Mr Rhys said that the mysterious part of the matter was that the old man could not have writ- ten his name, as he could not write.—Mr W, R. Da vies Mr Hopkin Smith Davies said the old man did sign it.—Witness, answering Mr Evans, repeated his denial with emphasis, pleaded physical ezhaustion as a reason why he should not be longerexamined. and testily remarked:—"J have said once what do you 'nt to ask again for ? —Mr Evans Can you write ?--Witness No.— Mr Rhys called for the production of the deed.— Mr Evans You shall have it in a moment; but we will have this first. (To witness, referring to the note): Is that your signature?—Witness: No. — Did you sign your first will?--No; I put a mark to it.—Mr Evans: Did you not sign it?— Witness: No.—Mr Evans Do your swear that ? -IV itnes, Do you want me to swear more than (,Ile" "Nl r Evans: Yes, you had better. I want you to UP, carefi-il,-NN ittiess. I am careful.—Mr Evans Do you say that is not your signature?— Witness: That never was my signature.—Mr Evans Have v"u ever written letters Yourself ?- Witness: No, never since I had the small-pox 10 years ago.—Mr Evans: A strauge reason for losing the power of writing. —-The hearing of the case was ultimately deferred till next court.

They state that the Czar, after listening graciously to their representations, said that he regretted what had taken place in Eastern Roumelia, but he would act in concert with the signatory Powers, who, he trusted, would acknowledge accomplished facts. His Majesty, in conclusion, solemnly warned the Bulgarians against future agitation, especially in Macedonia.. PROPOSED MOBILISATION OF THE ROUMANIAN ARMY.

The Chamber will meet on the 27th inst., and be asked at once to sanction a partial mobilization of the Roumanian Army. As at present advised, however, it is proposed to mobilise only the third army corps aud a portion of the fourth, but this plan may be modified by events. I SERVIA AND THE PORTE.

I [REUTER S TELEGRAM.] I RCSTCHUK, Friday.—The following telegram, received by the Russian diplomatic agent at Sofia, from M. de Giers, has been printed and distributed by the Russian Consul here The Etoperor has received the Bulgarian deputation, and assured them that the feelings of Russia to- wards Bulgaria remain unchanged, in spite of the recent action of the Bulgarian Government. The idea of a union of the two Bulgarias is natural. Russia also desires the union, but the Emperor does not approve of the means chosen by Bulgaria for effecting it. In spite of the goodwill of the Emperor, this action has placed the Bulgarians in a critical position. The Imperial Government will do its best to save Bulgaria from the dangers which surround it, having due regard to its interests. But for this purpose the Bulgarians must remain quiet, and await a definite decision regarding the question of their fate." This pro- ceeding on the part of tho Russian consul is re- I garded here as an intrigue against the person of Prince Alexander. GREECE AND THE EASTERN CRISIS. [RF,UTICR'$ TELEGRAM.)

A Cabinet Council was held this evening to consider the matter, and the reply of the Government will probably be despatched to-morrow, by telegraph, to the Greek representatives abroad, M.

ANTI-JEWISH RIOTS AT WARSAW I [REDTEK'd TELEGRAM.] BERLIN, Friday.—Advices from Warsaw state 1 that serious anti-Jewish riots having been apprehended there during the recent Jewish holidays, the authorities took every precaution to nip any disturbance in the bud, and had all the synagogues watched by gendarmes and Cossacks. The disorders were therefore confined to an affray between a few hundred Jews aud the workmen employed on the fortifications, the workmen being worsted in the conflict. The police and military interfered in tim-e to prevent more serious results. Many workmen were injured, but none killed.

I FOOD FOR THE MILLION, I I Curry Powder or Bread. I I (BY MR W. SIMONS, OF MERTHYB.] I In the year 1844 the Duke of Norfolk of that day was a great power in the Tory party. He, at a public meeting called by the landowners in support of the Corn Laws and against free trade and other Liberal principles, made a character- istic Tory speech. He urged working men who could not, through the high price of bread, afford to buy enough for their families to try a spoonful of curry powder in a glass of cold water as a substitute. He added that he often found a repugnance to food in the morning, and that he then took curry powder in water, and be needed nothing more until lunch, that it was very light on the stomach, and be had no doubt working men would find the advantage of it, instead of over-loading them- selves with coarse food. This truly Tory speech was reported in all the papers. The duke always considered that he had made a valuable scientific suggestion—one that would add much to the frugality of the working man's householdi and be attended by important hygienic and economic results. It may be that his wisdom was equal to that of the average of dukes and peers of Parliament, and that his mode of feeding the people was the result of solemn conference among the great landowners. The Earl of Radnor of that day and his relative, the Hon. Edward Bouverie, and the Hon. Charles P. Villiers stood out like shin- ing lights amid aristocratic gloom. The earl mentioned in my presence at the Free Trade Club that a Tory friend of his had attended the meeting at which the great speech was made, and that be, upon hearing the duke's recipe for filling empty stomachs, had exclaimed The Duke of Norfolk had, by his, speech, repealed, the Corn Laws. It will now be. impossible to resist free trade." The Duke of Norfolk, who. attended' the Tory meeting at Newport, on Wednesday, is, I think, a grandson of the curry powder duke. Perhaps he can tell your readers whether the claim made by the Tories of the present day that they repealed the Corn Laws is founded upon the consequences of the curry powder speech, or upon the speech itself. Do they mean that the Duke of Norfolk directly or indirectly repealed the Corn Laws ? If this be the foundation of the claim, it has some substance. I know that the duke's speech was circulated by the Anti-Corn Law League through the length and breadth of the land a leaflet containing a ver- batim report was delivered at almost every house in the kingdom. Beyond a doubt it had immense influence upon the agitation which was then bringing destruction upon the constitution." It put a powerful weapon into the hands of those terrible revolutionists, Richard CoLden and John Bright. However, it was never made public that curry powder breakfast societies had any- where been established, neither is there anything to show that the working men of forty years ago, who were the horrid Radicals of that day, came to a determination to eat no more bread. How is it that the Tory party cannot open their eyes ? In 1844, to secure victory over Cobden and Bright, wuo offered working men bread, the Tory party offered them curry powder. In 1835 the Tory party pour out vials of wrath over all Radicals, and appeal in piteous tones to the working men to tight under the Tory ban- ner against that dreadful goblin, Chamberlain, and all the other confiscating Radicals, forgetting that the working men appealed to are themselves the only Radicals against whom they are urged to arm and fight. Sir, the Conservative working man is a myth. A Conservative working man's club, or association, or friendly society, consists merely of the squire, rector, curate, sexton, and gamekeeper of a parish, and a few employers with th-yir agents and tadpoles. The real working men are resolute Radicals. They form three-fourths of the constituencies. But as they never had votes before, the Tory babblers cannot see the change, and that they now have votes. We therefore tiud Lord Salisbury and other blind leaders of the blind blowing the old strain through the same old cracked Tory trumpet- Beware of the Radicals Is it possible to make the Tories understand that the Radicals are in earnest, and that power is theirs at last ? Will it be a solace to them to know that the Radicals do not intend to confis- cate their property, or to feed upon their bodies— that no class is so much interested in main- taining order as that of the working man-that they are sincere and ardent Ohristians, and venerate all that is good in our institutiol13 with a warmth equal to their hatred of past tyranny and present corruptions, and all other evil things ? They demand that before the law the practice shall follow the precept that all men are equal, that property has its duties as well as its rights, that labour and capital shall each receive its fair share of the common earnings, that institutions, establishments, and political organisations which have lasted without alteration for many centuries have become decrepid and useless, and should either be swept away or be renovated. In a word, the Radicals wish to teach Tories the great truth that change is a law of nature. Gwainvarren, 8th October, 1885. 1

ALLEGED CRIMPING AT SWANSEA. '1 A Question of International Law. I At the Swansea police-court on Friday—before Mr J. Coke Fowler (the stipendiary) and Captain Davies—a licensed victualler, named Robert Wilson, of the Blue Bell public-house. Strand, was charged with harbouring Franz Barske, a deserter from the German barque Emig;keit. The case was partly heard on the previous day.— Mr Glascodine, of the South Wales circuit, now defended.—The captain stated that Barske and three others deserted, and took their clothes away, but Barske returned next morning. Barske admitted that he had deserted, and said that previous to doing so he saw the defendant, and, I 111 answer to him, said he should not de.ert. Defendant advised him to ruu away, as it was an old ship, and he could earn more money in English vessels than in German ones, the wages in the former being B3 10s instead of 21 16s as in Germany. He then took him to his house, and told him to run away, promising to keep him in the country till their vessel sailed. He (witness) took his clothes to the railway-station, and then went to the defendant's house. Later on a man took them to the railway-station, and they went to Llanelly. Before he went the defendant gave him the enve- lope produced (it was stamped, and bore the defendant's address), and he asked him to write to him if be wanted anything.—The brother of defendant, who also deserted, corroborated. Both witnesses were subjected to a severe cross-exami- nation by Mr Glascodine. after winch the learnec, counsel said the charge was that deiendant did protect and harbour the said xranz Barske, a deserter, who was liable to be apprehended under the Foreign Deserter's Act, 1852," lie urged that there was not act of Parliament shewing he was liable to be apprehended. According to the act, something more than the act itself was wanting. That something was an order in council. IV ow he maintained that though there were orders in council with regard to other countries, there was more with regard to Germany, and therefore the case was not made out.—The Stipendiary asked the captain what nationality the ship was, and was told German.— The Clerk said there was an order with respect to Prussia, and Mr Dahne,the consul, said the vessel belonged to Elbing, in Prussia.—Mr Glascodine Then I want the order in council. Moreover, there is no warrant against us for deserting a I Prussian barque.—Mr Dahne All documents are now called German. There is no Prussia now all is Germany, -Mr Gltscodine: If that is so,there is no order in council with Germany.—The shin's papers were produced, and Mr Glascodine said they thoroughly sustained his point. They were headed German Empire," and the ship was spoken of as a German and not a Prussian ship.— Mr. Fowler said the order in council lay at the root of the offence, and therefore if Mr Glasco- dine urged that there should be a certified copy produced, the bench had no alternative but to see it.—Mr Dahne asked that the case might be adjourned till Monday, promising to immediately get what was required. This was agreed to.

LANDLORDS' INFLUENCE ON | THEIR TENANTS. | We have been requested by Mr Arthur J. Williams to publish the following correspon- dence Sept. 25,1885. Dear Mr Llewelyn,—The enclosed extract will explain itself. I heard at St. Athan's that you I had, so far as you were yourself concerned, justi- fied the belief I have expressed by publicly stating that you did not wish to influence your tenants, either directly or indirectly, as to the way in which they should vote. This was only 'what I expected. It is, in my opinion, and in the opinion of others in whose judgment I have much faith, most desirable that a similar assurance should ba given by the other large landowners in the division. It would have the most wholesome moral effect. Though it would not appreciably affect the result of the contest—so far as it did, it would probably make in your favour-it would create a feeling of mutual confidence and respect between all classes in the agricultural part of the division, and would lift our contest above all suspicion of being affected by mean and ignoble influences. I therefore feel that such a circular as I enclose should be sent to all the landowners in the division, and if no one else will issue it I propose to do so. As, however, most of the chief landowners in; the division are your supporters, it would be in every way better and pleasanter that thia assurance should be obtained privately by you. I should therefore be only too glad if you felt dis- posed to take the matter up.—Believe Ula. to belr faithfully yours, ARTHUR J. WILLIAMS. J. T. Dillwyn Llewelyn, Esq." The extract referred to above contained the following letter addressed on behalf of a lady to her tenants in Hampshire Having regard to the fact that most of yon have recently obtained the franchise for the first time, I am permitted by Mrs-to intimate to you her hope that: you will all exercise this important right at the elec- tion which will take place in November. Mra-has no desire in any way to influence your votes she does not propose even to tell you with wbich side she sym- pathises your vote is your own, and you should give it without fear, in accordance solely with the dictates of your own consciences. But Mrs-wishes to remind you that the exercise of this right is a serious responsibility, and should not be dealt with lightly. She advises you to attend meetings on both sides, to listen attentively to what the speakers say, and judge between them. No one can possibly know how you vote unless you tell, for no matter what some dishonest people may tell you, the ballot is quite secret. Ample time to go to vote will be allowed to every one on the place, and if the polling place is fixed at a distance, Mrs will endeavour, as far as pos- sible, to assist in the conveyance of aged and infirm' voters of either side to and from the polling place. The extract also contained the. following ob servations by myself It expresses in singularly apt and impressive Ian. guage the views which should be held, and, what is more to the purpose, expressed by all who occupy the' positions of landlords. I have already more than once publicly stated my belief that the landowners of this county, whatever their political views may be, would think it dishonouring to themselves to allowtheir posi- tion to be used either directly or indirectly for the purpose of influencing their tenants in the exercise of their new duties as electors. I earnestly hope we shall receive a public assurance that my belief is well founded; that they "consider the votes of their tenants their own; and that they should give them without fear in accordance,solely with the aictates of their own conscience." Penllergare, Swansea, Sept. 29, 1886. Dear Mr Williams,—I have never coerced any one in the free exercise of his vote, and I am very sorry it should be thought necessary to make any declaration on the subject. I feel sure from my personal knowledge of a great many of the landowners in Glamorganshire that they would repudiate the insinuation of un- due influence, and that such an insinuation is undeserved, but if you think otherwise, it is not the landlords only, but the employers in works and collieries, the ministers of religion, and, indeed, those who lead in every class of life, to whom such a request should be addressed. For myself, wtiile I desire to influence no single vote, directly or indirectly, by unworthy means, I cannot sign the circular you ask me to, which I consider reflects dishonourably on one particular class.—Believe me to be, your faithfully, JOliN T. D. LULWELYN. Arthur J. Williams, Esq. ) The following is the circular referred to:— 1 Dear Sir,—The enclosed extract will explain itself. "I am sending it to all the principal land- owners in the South Glamorgan Division, because I am sure they will be glad of an opportunity for justifying the belief [I have) expressed in it. W'l I you therefore kindly authorise me to make it known publicly that you consider the-votes of your tenants their own, that you wish them to give them in accordance solely with the dictates of their own consciences, and that you therefore do not wish to influence them directly or in- directly as to the way in which they should voter, October 4th, 1885. Dear Mr Llewelyn,—I should be very sorry that anything were said or written, either by my- self or yourself, which could convey an unworthy reflection upon, or insinuation against, the land- lords of the South Glamorgan Division. My earnest wish is to remove any possibility of distrust or misunderstanding which might create needless irritation or bitterness in the coming election. The relation of a landlord to his tenant is entirely different from ordinary business relations. I The working classes in our large towns and mining ceiitres are quite independent and, indeed, the agricultural labourers, so far as my experience goes, are scarcely less so. Neither tney nor the shopkeepers depend upon one man for their means I of living. But the farmer does. He knows that at any moment he can be turned out of the farm [ on which he has spent many years of his life, to | which he has become attached, and from which,' I even in these bad times, he can turn to nothing better. A notice to quit is to him a most serious matter. I should be as sorry as you to think that any landowner would turn out his tenant be- cause he voted on the opposite side to him. But he can do it. I think, therefore, it would be a gracious act on the part of every landowner to make it publicly known that he did not wish to influence his tenantry, directly or indirectly, as to the way in which they should give their votes. It would not, as I have already said, appreciably affect the result of the contest, now that we have the ballot but it would have a very wholesome I effect. The publication of this correspondence would probably lead to the result. I therefore hope you will have no objection to my sending it to the papers.-Faltbtully yours, AKTHUB J. WILLIAMS. I Pellergare, Swansea, October 6, 1885. Dear Mr Williams,—I quite reciprocate your desire to remove any possibility of distrust or misunderstanding which create need- less irritation or bitterness in the coming contest, but I do emphatically deny that the power of the landlord over the tenant is more likely to be exercised (especially now under the ballot) than any other legitimate influence, that I 1 consider any protest or appeal for pair play should be general, and not individually addressed to any I one class. These are not days when a landlord will part with a good tenant under any circumstances, much less foe so uuworthy and suicidal a reason as that the tenant chooses to exercise his political power in accordance with his own free will.- j Yours faithfully, JOHN T. D. LLKWELTN. Arthur J. Williams,. Esq. October 7th, 18%. I Dear Mr Llewelyn,—Whether your views or mine are correct as to the relations between land- lords and their tenants, there can, I think, be no doubt that the publication of this correspondence must do good. I presume you do not object ? Your opponents equally with your supporters will appreciate your high sense of the respect which is due to the independence of the electors. —Faithfully yours, ARTHUR J. W1LLIAM8. f John T. D, Llewelyn, Esq. Penllergare, Swansea, October, 8th. Dear Mr Williaii-i,-You are quite at liberty I to publish all that I have written.—Yburs truly, truly, JOHN T. D..LLEWELYN.
