The Corner Column ————— Will the Bowling Club committee e Mr. W. W. Holmes's strongest can- vassers next week ? Mrs. Scharlieb, M.D., condemns iTi- discriminate kissing. The wise will therefore — discriminate. The names of soma of Mr. Dyson Williams's nominators this occasion will give a shock to the alleged liefcnners. Stands Temple-street Corner as it was, but where can our councillors stand ill the estimation of the towns- iolk. ? a No one seemed to enjoy the spirally- ascending smoke from the Mayoral ban- quet cigars on Monday better than Miss "U.lhvyu. v, At a Morrlston picture-house last week a h In; entitled Monkeys" was shown. Tho good inhabitants naturally felt insulted. « The present Mayor., Mr. T. Corkei is physically the biggest member of the Corporation since tile days oi the late Mr. John Glasbrooii. ilay his shadow never grow less! The Municipal Reformers were quite in a cleft stick over the selection or Mr. George tiemmiugs for the St. Helen's Ward. The snobocrats cf the Party wanted a "class! candidate.. » The IGog specch or: educational ad- ministration made at. the Mayoral ban- quet, is regarded ar; a. kind oi defence to :\1r. Dyson Brock W illiams's vigorous attack upon the dilatory tactics of the Jbklucation Committee. We hope seriously that no one else will be offering guineas for solution of iiamway problems, etc., for the interest displayed by many burgesses was much greater than they couid be roused to over municipal elections. All the borough guardians were in- cited to the Mayor's Tianquet, but the country guardians were not inviiod. The country guardians want to know what is the difference between a coun- try guardian, and a town guardian. Anyone who wants light upon the real convictions of the Municipal Re- formers should ask a Ffynone Ward Conservative what reasons Colonel Sin- clair's canvassers grave as their first and last claim for support! 4f Two Liberals are contesting Ffynone—one the nominee of a party which is alm-ost Conservative to a man, the other the nominee of the Pro- gressives. Is it necessary to say for which candidate the good Liberal should vote ? The most aldermanic of all the new aldermen is Mr. George Colwill. The bloated capitalist does not get it all lus own way. where ample proportions are concerned. The way in which our contemporary advances the claims, ad nauseam, of a certai): gentleman for municipal honours is getting qutv? embarrassing to th3 ttioiy Conservative members of the lie- form party. When the cigars were handed round at the Mayoral banquet there was quite an epidemic of remarks of the Cigars for four" brand. Sir Frank Xewnes, who was married this week, was a great favourite amongst the Young Liberals of Swansea when his father tirst contested the borough. Now that Councillor David Wil- liams has thrown off the cares of office with his Mayoral robes, it is confidently prophesied in knowing c.rc'es that we &ha3i soon see him in unrestrained mood. With regard to the new Welsh monthly, it is this morning announced that no editor has yet been appointed, und that in any -('ac Proressor Jones would not occupy that position. In the course of a discussion at orth Wales religious gathering, one of the ministers said that there were not frifiny laymen he won Id like to see m the chair of his denomination. For this will take tome beating. Alderman Tutton is the oldest mern- her of the Corporation—oldest in age as Well as in spnionty. When, thr28 years hence, he retires, he will be 80 years of a?e, and will have sat on the Council for 30 years. A ray of sunshine caused some in- conveuiene to one of the jurymen at the Glamorgan Assizes on rl uesday dur- ing the hearing of the Ystalyfera coal- dust case.

THE DUKES AND THE SNOBS.
THE DUKES AND THE SNOBS. TORY TACTICS. CHANCELLOR MB THE LAND mmm. CUTTiMG SPEECH. The Liberal Party is net going to wind up the mement HG-me Ruse is passed. It is a prosperous going concern, ana we mean to keep it going." I This was the note struck by the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer at the National Liberal Club bõt night. The occasion was a dinner given to the members of the Land Inquiry Com- mittee, whom Mr. Lloyd George warmly complimented on their arduous and un- selfish labours. He extended to them the hearty thanks of the Government, and incidentaiiy predicted that when the book on the urban portion of the in- quiry published it would be found to be as complete and adequate as the rural volume. I The Tory Attitude. I "I should like," continued the Chan- cellor, to say one word on the question of policy. l'iiere has been a very re- markable change ot attitude in th Tory Party during the la.st few weeks to- wards the land campaign. Their first attitude was one 01 complete fright, panic, and they started 6ileiting out programmes—( laughter) ithout any preliminary enquiry and with no in vestigation. For the time being they seemed to regard the problem as a very grave and serious one. Then came the people who really dominate the Tory i?ty. I Reactionary Elements. I But they don't control the por.ry I of the Tory Party, and Mr. Bonar Law said &o. He ?aid There are reactiaii-l ary elements 111 our party.' (Laughter.) Any man reading between the lines knew what that meant. We knew at once that Lord Henry Bentinck and Mr. Leslie Scott, and those men who have got some ,ort oi notion oi doing their duty to their constituent: are to be thrown over. Yes, but l'il veil you wlmt that ha.s established that the reaction- ary elements are the. predominant fac- tor. And there has been a complete change. A circular was itsaej by .a, (iike s brother to all the Tory candi- dates and members of Parilainent-evi- dently id ha'S been lswued to the Pl'es"i- who were to take no notice of the JOIdld campaign except to deride it. Dukes and Snobs. I So they started laughing, and when dukes bc?n in tne Tory rarty, every snob who likes to pa-ss oTt as a ??eli begins hi imitate that vacant laughter. latighte,i- "Yvhat does it mean? Here are real serious evils, which they them- selves admitted for three weeks. (Laughter.) 1t 1? a matter of 1ood- iamine and hunger to millions of people )!\ttt? !i? -?u?'s .)! tlKJUSJUMS j where they would not stable thir own horsey. 'lhey admit that the food which IS required for hundreds of thousands of lamihes is trampled tor sport. They admit all that, and the only answer they have got to give is the buffonneries of a\ E.

I Facts I I I "The first thing we shall do, in Rpite of cyery gi be and sneer, will pe to see that tiiese facts are disseminated throughout the kingdom; we'll see that 'ei-ery nouse is put in full possession of them, and that when the General Elec- tion comes the decision will be given by people who are fully acquainted witn every condition and circumstance which has heen investigated. (App.ause.) "I am not at all disconcerted about those bye-elections—(cheers)—not in the slightest degree. it is not merely that there are explanations, the most prominent of which is probably Jim Italian. (R.>ar, hear.) -us far ad the land policy is concerned, there was no time to present it to these constitu- encies. it was not complete. We had not our orgsation even set np. But we are setting it up, with the same care we displayed throughout the whole of this business. We are doing it quietly, carefully, patiently, and when the time comes you will find that that organisation will he as effective as the organisation we set up for the pur- poses of investigation I To Victory. "And it will move just as irresistibly forward to victory. (Applause.) In the course of the next tortnight you will find that our committee has com- pleted that. Then our campaign will spread all over the kingdom. We are going to shirk no other issue. But be- cause there are questions—questions of Ulster, and questions of Welsh Dis- establishment-which are in course of settlement, is that any reason why we should ignore the deplorable condition of our rural districts and the slums and bad housing in our great towns? On the contrary, we have to go on." (Cheers.)

Johannesburg, Tueeday.-The two thousand Indians who were yesterday arrested in the Transvaal have been es- Ilios in w-hich th?ey corted back to the mines in which they were previously working, although it does not necessarily follow that they will resume work.

CWMFELIN DISPUTE. --
CWMFELIN DISPUTE. SETTLEMENT REACHED AND WORK I RESUMED TO-DAY. The dispute between the wet wheelers and the management of the Cwmfelin Tinplate Works, arising out of a claim for increased wages which threatened 1 to bring that important industrial centre to a standstill has happily been settled, and the grave possibilities averted. Last night, Mr. Victor Morgan, of the Gasworkers' Union, had an inter- view with the works management, as a result of which it was decided that the men should at once resume work, and the points in dispute referred to Mr. J. R. Davies (manager), and Mr. Victor Morgan, for further consideration, with a view to an agreement being arrived at. Failing this, arbitration will be re- resorted to. The men returned to work this morning.
THE RITUAL CASE. I
THE RITUAL CASE. I CHIEF RABBi AND THE ACQUITTAL OF B £ill Ss. As stated in the "Leader" yesterday, the verdict in the Russiaii ritual rnurd-er case has been received with mixed feel- ings. interviewed, the Chief R»bbi stated that he could not tell at present what the verdict meant. If it meant that Beiliss was guiltless, it was a great triumph for humanity. On the other j I hand if its meaning were that thet ritual murder agitation against the I Jewish people was going to continue, it was even more infamous than the first charge against an individual man. Amongst the comments made by the Russian Press, the Ultro Rossii" says the verdict injures neither Russia nor Russians, but strikes at fanatics who for selfish political motiv-es drove the judi- cial authorities to set on foot a prosecu-I tion or Beiliss.

Alderman John Jordaii, of Llansamlet, presided over a large at-1 tendance. The lecturer gave an able summary of the Arthurian legend, especially deal- ing with Percival, Garvain, and Lance- lot, by ws £ of pourtraying the character of the primitive celt. These he com- pared to modern Welsh life with that illustrated in the characters of the Knights. An interestin.g discussion followed, during which it was impressed on those present that efforts should be made to reproduce the old spirit of courtesy manifested in the lives a^fclhe Knights, and for which Wales was so renowned in the Middle Ages.

ITELEPHONE TRACEDY. I
I TELEPHONE TRACEDY. I I MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE BAFFLES PARIS POLICE. I The Paris police arc endeavouring to elucidate a telephone mystery. Mme. Herbert, the concierge of a bouse in the Rue Michei-Ange, was about to s how some rooms in the house to possible tenants' when the telephone bell rang. Seizing the receiver Mme. Herbert .heard a voice, which dafieked: •'Helo! Help! Make haSte! I a.m being murdered!" Satisfied that it was not one of the tenants speaking. Mme. Herbert passe d the receiver into the hands of one of her visitors (who also heard the cries), and ran into the street. Meeting a police- man she brought him back, and he on taking the receiver heard two or three feeble cries for lip; then some si ghs, followed by a rattling sound as of a death-agony, and finally the fall, as of a body, to the ground. The ix)!iceman endeavoured, but with- out success (says the "Standard") to Il ascertain who had given such a tragic call, but the call h;vi evidently been put on to the wrong address, and the police are at a loss.
WILSON AND THE REBELS.
WILSON AND THE REBELS. I NEW FLDTT MEXICAN DIPLOMAT AND PUBLIC OPINION. I hUETTA MUST GO Despite President Wilson's public statements, it is again reported that he is in private communication with the rebel (or Constitutionalist) party in Mexico. A telegram received to-day frcm Nog ales, on the Mexican frontier, ^tatos that Mr. Hall, who is believed to be Dr. Wilson' s personal representative on the border, has conferred there with General Carranza, the rebel leader, and it is understood that the conferences will be continued. The Official View. I The official and diplomatic view is that Mr. As<]uith Guildhall speech has bad an important effoct n relaxing the ten- sion of affairs. It Ls thought that Prc- 1 S41 I ? '?lo-A- be t-o ccini- sident Wilson will now be able to com- pel Huerta's retirement hy means of a policy of lioloing s-everely aloof from Mexico, and withholding aU financial support, a policy in which the co- operation of the principal European Powers Ls expected. Thi., i*. confirmed by a telegram received from ashingtcn this morning. A Mexico City message tates that there has been a run on tne bauk-s there. I Huerta Criticised. I In the course of an interview, Senor Covarrubias, Mexico's most experi- enced diplomat:—who, having severed his official connection with the country for a tim, is at present in London— said there was no doubt that the bulk of the enlightened inhabitants of Mexico were in sympathy with Car- ranza, who is reported to ha.ve alrc-ady 80,000 men at his disposal, but is ham- pered by a shortage or arms and ammu- nition. Carranza he described as a very honest man. General Huerta, on the other baud, he criticised very strongly, baying th-at he was not by any means a strong man, and would 6oon be forced to retire, how- ever much against his will.

One undated letter alleged to have been written by accused to his mother contained the following: "1 have got a seven-chambered revolver, fully loaded, in my pocket, so to-night I will end everythiag. I will see her at 10.30." In anpther he wrote, I have been talking to Maud, and the first time we get together we are going to die together." A letter also undated, written by the deceased girl to the accused, it was arranged, to meet about 10.30 at St. John's Church, Canton, to say good-bye. Her body was found in a lane at the back of the church.
