SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT'S VISIT TO CARNARVON. LOUD as Tom of Lincoln, our Carnarvon Radical contemporary announced last week that it had etlgaed six qualified reporters to furnish its readers with a complete report of the Liberal gatherings at Carnarvon, but these six wise men who were fully em- ployed at work all day, appear to have been so thoroughly knocked up that they were un- able to record a word concerning "the great and right noble Radical demonstration which took place in Carnarvon the same evening. At any rate our contemporaty, who boldly puts the question: "Compromise?'' and sup- plies an emphatic answer "Jfo makes its appearance this we,k without giving so much as an outline of Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT'S great speech," though it charges us with having been so dumbfounded and crestfallen with the grandeur of the proceedings" in connection with the most important political demonstration that has ever taken place in Wales," that we were incapable of writing a fault-finding leader on the subject; and then, roandly abuses us for having said anything at all concerning the great gathering. Why, our contemporary itself admits this week that the worbt foes ore in its own household, and they must be re- moved." How they are to be removed we are not told. We hope not in the way in which it is aHeged Dr. CKONIN was silenced and into the cause of whose death a jury, after the most scandalous delay, is now inquiring. But we discoVer further in the current com- promising article of our contemporary that the Imponderables are to be given a chance of being converted." If they don't submit to that ordeal, woe betide them They are to be shaken off," whatever that may moan. No doubt it is a terrible process, and many will not dare to face the fight. Our contem- porary asks "Did Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT come up to the mark 1" What mark 1 To his mark as a renegade, place-seeker, or as a rival of GRIMALDI, CARLIN, or TABLTON ? As far as we are able to judge from his speech-both after hearing it at the Carnarvon Pavilion and reading the haranfue when in all the glory of printer's ink next morning, we think tht be did oome up to the mark in these three distinct particularsbut it-was as "Grimaldi" that he Boored most he tvily. His visit to Hawarden teemed to have disturbed his mental balance, and this, Coupled with the severe coaching on Welsh political subjects which Mr RENDEL bad given him, perhaps accounted for the exuberance of his verbosity and his cruel cuts at the Church. The Welsh clergy ill deserved what he said touching them, and Sir WILLIAM HAROOURT as the grandson of a former archbishop ought to have taken more pains than he seemed to have doue in traduc- ing an energetic, conscientious, and charitable body of men. The BISHOP OF ST. ASAPU says Starvation is an ugly word, but it represents the coniition to which several of tbe Welsh clergy are being brought by the tithe agitation," and his lordship adds that he could give case after case where even a pittance has been reduced almost to nothing by the agitation. Outside the diocese of Bishop EDWARDS we note an exceedingly cruel case-a case in which the vicar of Llanfihangel, Rhos, Car- marthenshire, was rendered penniless by the tithe agitators, but we read with pleasure that the rSr. gentleu.an tested his rights ,in the County Court and emerged triumphantly. Surely Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT, when he disdainfully spoke ef the poor clergy," called forth a laugh at their expense, and dis- cribed them as "the ministeri of the rich and powerful classes," knew nothing of the suffering which many of them undergo in order to minister to the poor among whom they dwell. As 9 ppecimen of the large-heartedness of some Dissenting Deacons, we may give an instance which came t" our knowledge within the present month. A respectable widow, finding herself in monetary arreais, bethought herself of applying to the deacon of her chapel with a view of having her outstanding contribution and pew rent remitted. The deacon to whom she applied was a Welsh Radical member of Parliament. She urged her case strongly, emphasising the fact that for over 30 years she and her de- ceased husband had attended the chapel in question and occupied the same pew, and that she would feel most acutely being evicted. What advice did this wealthy deacon and member of Parliament tender? Said he with more than his accustomed gravity-and his usual gravity is grave enough for most people who have anything to do with him—" You had better give up your seat, Mrs and sit in the free seats, where there is plenty of room. When you are able to pay you can go back to your old place." Now,had this Deacon been a poor man we should have forgiven him, but he is reported to be rich and Increasing in riches. Why didn't he who preaches on the public platform Liberty, equality and fraternity," put his hand in his pocket and pay the debt due to the chapel in which he had an interest ? There are scores of the clergy in the Church in Wales who give three and sometimes six times more than they receive as the rewards of their labours; and if we want an instance of this kind, we need only refer to the late be;oved vicar of Bangor, who will for many years to come be much missed, particularly by the poor. Radicalism is one thing in theory, another thmg in practice. The Board Schools abolish the Bible, and make the ratepayers pay for imparting to the children of the rising genera- tion a lystem of instruction which is divorced from religion; free education is given, and the Church must be robbed of its tithes to pauperise those who submit to education under such a system Radical demonstrations are to be got up and, as in the case of Mr GLAD- STONE at Southport on Wednesday, a charge of half-a-guinea and a guinea is made in order to defray expenses. What fools people must be who are deluded by raving Radicals who have no other purpose to serve than the grati- fication of their own ends Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT let the cat out of the bag at Car- narvon on Thursday week. He and his friends thirst for office, and we were led tc believe that Mr GLADSTONE would have gilded the pill which the mighty smiter" of the foe com- pounded at Carnarvon. But he didn't. His speech delivered to a much smalleraudience was an egregious disappointment to the Radical Party, and particularly to Weiah Radicals,who thought that the Disestablishment of the Church would have been more boldly put for- ward by Mr GLADSTONE. Who knows what may happen before another Radical Ministry may assume the reins of office? Four years ago we were told that the Tories would never again be in power. Yet, what do we find ? They are not only in power but they are achieving success in their home and foreign policy. One or two by-elections have gone against the Government it is true, but there yet remains a big majority to whittle down, and the present advisers of Her MAJESTY are not likely to capriciously forsake their posts. They are something more than lovers of office. They are patriots-true patriots, and this is more than can be said of M r GLADSTONE and his present allies. Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT, when speaking fit Carnarvon on Thursday week, taunted the Tories with keep- ing both Mr BALFOUR and his works in the background but, if he bad been in Manchester on Saturday last, he would have formed a different opinion. Mr BALFOUR'S non- chalance confounds even Sir GEORGE TREVELTAN, whose hair turned white with anxiety whilst he filled the same responsible post. Whilst we are of opinion that there is no occasion for panic at the appearance in Carnarvonshire of the mighty smiter of the foe," we think it well to suggest to the local leaders of the Conser- vativePartythe advisability of introducing some show of activity by securing the services of a prominent member of the Unionist Party- whether Conservative or Liberal-so as not to allow the enemy to have it all their own way and maintain uncontradicted their contention that the maintenance of the British Empire is mere moonshine. We are aware that there are to be Unionist demonstrations next month at Wrexham and Rhyl, but we want and must have demonstrations at Bangor and Carnarvon.

N 0 T E 8 The ear:1 closing movement will take effect at Llandudno on the first Wednesday in Novem- ber, when it is desired that the shops be closed at one o'clock. We understand that the Llandudno Literary and Debating Society and the St Tudno's Guild intend holding joint debates this season. Rev. Canon Evans, of Rhymney, has paid Llandudno a visit this week, and preached to very large congregations at St. George's Church ou Wednesday evening, and at two servces on Thursday. Llanrwst sets a good example in the matter of charity concerts. This week another event of that character took place, and was the means ot raising about X20 in aid of a poor fellow who is a deserving object of such aid. The banquet at the Imperial Hotel, Llandudno, Just Friday evening, was on the whole a brilliant affair, and quite on II par with the importance of the occasion. Honour to whom honour is due is not exactly a new sentiment to express, but it is one which is very apt when applied to the truest of the evening at the Imperial. At any rate, the shareholders of tlie Pier Company will now fully endorse that sentiment; and had it been possible for them all to be present on Friday eveninc, we feel sure they would have drunk Riviere's health in a bumper. Three years ago, when he came to Llandudno, what was the position of affairs at the Pier P After along adverse period as regards business, and also a serious disaster to the Pavilion before its complotion, the exchequer was empty and the shares in the company could be purchased I or the proverbial" old song." A great many of the leading men in the town— they wow no doubt quite conac4entious in their oondmMns—thought a big band on the parade was a sine qui non. Opinions were freely ex- pressed that, without a Parade Band, Llandudno would be simply nowhere in the estimation of the visitors. We have just been glancing over the reports of the meetings held in St. George's Hall in the Spring nf 188p. when the battle of the bands was in full swing. The enthusiasm for a parade band was very natural and very warm, and the hostility to the Pier was apparently intense. Dr. Jamee Nicol, the worthy chairman of the Pier Company, told the town at those meetings that the interests of the Pier Company were the interests of the town, and that the time would come when the people of Llandudno would thank the directors for bringing an orchestra like Riviere's to Llandudno. The doctor's words have come trne in an especial sense, M. Riviere was just the man for Llan. dudno. He has hauled the Pier Company from a veritable financial slough of despond and we venture to think that those who were formerly hostile to the company will now be amongst those who are most ready to pat the directors on the back and acknowledge that Riviere and his orchestra have done more advertise Llandudno, and have contributed more to the success cf the past two seasons than any- thing else. But more about the banquet. As a social evening it was a deciied success. Splendid room, tastefully decorated, everything of the best quality and well served. The speaking, though not eloquent, vascordial. Lord Mostyn made a spirited little speech, which elicited hearty plaudits. M. Riviere is entertaining whether in music or in speech. His reply to the toast of the health of himself and Madame Riviere was quite characteristic and caused preat laughter. His allusion to the way in which he first heard there was such a place as Llandudno, and his narration of the first walk down the Pier with tho chairman to Bee the octagon paftoda," were told in quite a con versational style and with much humour. But his felicitous allusions to Madame Riviere's energy as his commander-in-chief fairly brought down the house." Mr John Jones, in an able speech, suggested a mode in which funds might be raised from all the householders, and a strong committee was appointed to take action in the matter. Sir John Puleston, who is so well known to all Welshmen as one who takes a special interest in all Welsh matters, Is it seems equally famous across the Atlantic. This is what the Pittaton Gazette has to say about him The Sir John Puleston who looms up conspicuously every now and then in Parliament or as a doer of some particularly hospitable and gracious act, and who was recently honoured by a special summons to an audience and luncheon with the Queen, says Howard, in the New York Press, was formerly a broker on Wall-street, New York. He was head of the firm of Puleston, Raymond, and Co., and was noted while here for his hospitality, the geniality of his manner, and a happy faculty ef extemporaneous speaking. If the Queea knows her business, she'll have Sir John to lunch very often. Sir John, as is well known, was at one time editor of the Gazette. A workhouse is not a place proverbially famous for high feasting, and a board of guard- ians is not a public body whose name is associated with turtle soup and champagne. Dickens speaks of the guardians of the workhouse where Oliver Twist was located as having contracted with the waterworks for an unlimited supply of water and with a cornfactor for a very limited supply of oatmeal. At the present time things are much improved, but not to the extent recently brought to light at the meeting of the Birmingham Board of Guardians. It seems that five gentlemen were engaged in tho tapk of caliing over the workhouse inmates. They were at it for three daya, and their bill of fare amounted to £ 12. Amongst other comestibles they got through fifteen ox tails, 17Jlbs of salt beef. 271lbs of beef and lamb, three pints of cream, nib of Gorgon- zola cheese, lib of tea, 61b of lump sugar, a tin of luneb biscuits, tlb of white pepper, two tins of apricots, two'tins of pears, two dozen bottles of Bass, four bottles of No. 1 Irish whisky, three bottles of No. 1 Islay whieky, six bottle3 of Beaune, six bottles of sherry, one bottle of pale brandy, one bottle of port wine, 71b of salmon, two ducks, three brace of grouse, Sllb of turbot, two leverets, some lobsters, two chickens, 6ilb of trout. tiible jelly, custard powder, and dessert. In extenuation of the charge, the chairman of the committee said that several of the workhouse officials were present at the meals. Whilst upon the subject of workbouses, it will be just as well to mention a queer incident in connection with the Salford Board of Guardians. The matron of the infirmary,after the completion of her day's labour, Bought her virtuous couch, when she was startled to find it occupied by a nest of young rats. This was more than human nature could stand. What member of the fair sex has ever possessed the courage to face a. rat or a mouse? The good lady told the guardians, who in their turn told the staff of officers and assistants,to the number of fifty, that they were to stand in readiness to receive notice toquit unless the offender was disoovered.Tbingfl are now what they used to be, the delinquent having been found among the lunatics. A South Wales contemporary announces the mysterious death 6f a Welshman,named Richard Thomas, whose dead body was found near a secluded colliery at Wilkesbarre, in America. We are told that there were no marks on the deceased's person,bot it was evident that he had been drinking hard the evening before. He was recognised by a bauk-book of the North and South Wales Bank, Llanrwst, North Wales, he had in his pocket. The account was No. 815, and showed that there was due to him the sum of RZ5 10s 6d. In a recent issue of the Melbourne Age ap- In a recent issue of the ??oto-M ?? ap- colossal swindle," and related to the arrest of Edmund Taylor, the missing member of the firm of Starkey and Taylor, well known Melbourne accountants. Some time ago the firm became insolvent, and Taylor disappeared before the day of his public examination, and it was subse- quently stated that he had defrauded several banks to the extent of £ 20,000, Mr Starkey, the senior partner, was once an aocountant in a large way of business at Birmingham; and'one day, whilst he was staying at a watering place in North Wales, the canoe in which he went out boating was found bottom upwards and his hat was afterwards wasbod ashore. Supposing him dead, his wife took out letters of administration and to the great surprise of the family he after- wards turned up in Australia. Mr Starkey left Birmingham witbont owing a penny, and he always bore a high character for integrity. The last tidings of him were that he had become a millionaire, and that his firm was one of the most prosperous in Australia.

There is Hit excellent opportunity afforded the Town Council cf Ruthin to become gradually possessed of the water supply of that borough. There may be a question in some towns as to whether it is advisable for Corporations to be the possessor of the gas and water supplies, but in Ruthin no one will hesitate to say that there, at least, it would be to the advantnee of the rate- payers generally if both the supplies were under the direction of the municipal authority. They are at present able to purchase shares in the companies and no doubt, in time, at little cost to the ratepayers, become the owners of the whole system. Whether that body as at present constituted should be saddled with an additional responsibility, the inhabitants will shortly have the cpportunity of deciding; but it would be to the advantage of the inhabitants if the supplies were under the control of the Counoil.

The committee appointed by the Denbighshire County Council to enquire into the cost of elections is likely to present a very satisfactory report, as from a financial point of view they have initiated a scheme which will reduce the oost of elections to one-fourth of the present ex- penditure for elections but whether they will get the same amount of work from greatly decreased compensation, the committee no doubt have arrived at some conclusion. The Council, is certainly noted for its alterations II without amendment, but it will be a consolation to know that the services of the Counoil are obtained at a great reduction in the expenditure, and if the legislation is proportionately valuable no one can complain.

Those members of the AsylumOommittee who exhibit so much anxiety about the spiritual welfare of the unfortunate population of that institution might with great advantage turn their attention to their bodily requirements, and thereby promote in a great measure their chances of recovery from their melancholy condi- tion of mind. It is certain that with so few attend- ants to so great a number of patients they cannot possibly have proper control, and especially when the insufficiency of the staff compels the authorities to work the attendants unreason- ably. It can surely be argued that 14 and 15 hours a day is a reasonable time to expect an attendant to be on duty. Worn out with monotony of the place and tired out with too many hours of duty, they cannot have proper re- gard for the safety of the patients nor such a lively interest in their welfare, besides having so many patients under their snpervision. It would be a great advantage to the patients if I there was aa addition to the staff as well as additional accommodation.

The Qoleuad has heard that the Welsh colonists in Patagonia are taking stops to start a newspaper in the colouy. The same contem- porary is also responsible for the announcement that the Baptists are about to issue a magazine in connection with their Welsh Sunday School Union. Here is a note for those about to leave their parental roofs and enter into the bonds of matrimony. The Rev. D. Jones, vicar of St. Peter's, Lianelly, is said to have recently lectured a wedding congregation on levity of demeauour in church. The well-wishers of the happy couple were told that rice must be thrown outside and net inside the church, and that in future the practice of tying up the church gates in order to levy toll from the newly-wedded couples must be discontinued, unless the consent of the bride and bridegroom has first been obtained. The City of Rome," one of the Anchor's liners, sailed from New York on the 16th inst., and disembarked at Milford Haven. This was an inaugural voyage of a new service from the United States, and if continued will give an impetus to the trade of South Wales. Liverpool is the port for nearly the whole of the Ameri- can passenger traffic, and it is not likely they will see part of the traffic taken from them. It therefore becomes necessary for the rail- way authorities to offer every facility in the way of cheap rates in order to encourage our large steamship oompaniea to allow their steamers to call at some of our Welsh seaports. When the Manchester Ship Canal was first started there was a rumour that the London and North Western Railway Company were con- sidering important improvements in Holyhead barbour in order to induce shipowners to dis- charge cotton cargoes there, for conveyance by rail to Manchester, and thus compete with the Man(:hestr Canal. So far nothin has been done in this direction. The removal of Platters I Kock* and some other minor improvements would undoubtedly make Holyhead harbour one of the finest in the Kingdom.

THE DISHONESTY AND CRUELTY OF THE TITHE AGITATION. A SOUTH WALES CLRBOTUAN PSNNMEU. The Judge of Lampeter County Court on Monday granted the Vicar of Llanfihangel, Rhos, Car- marthenshire, treble damages and costs against a farmer for the removal of animals seized for the non-payment of tithe. During the trial the vicar's advooate stated that the vicar had received none of last year's tithes, whioh amounted to between R140 and £150; that there were arrears due from the previous year and that he had let a farm, but the intended tenant said he durat not take it. Tbe result was that the vioar was penniless.
