LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I beg to thank you for the honour you have conferred upoo inti by electing ma ucoppos -d as one of your representatives on the City Council. My politios are probably known to m uiy of you but I um convinoed ihat the !e s pwy politics are introduced into municipal matters, the better it Will be for the town I am in favour of a hroal and enlightened p >!i«y of progrts-, and shsil support eveiy movement which tends to the growth and prosperity of Bangor. The proposal to erect", pier at Garth reoeived my approval from the first, and I shall co-operate in making it a financial auoce-s, and a means of attracting visitors to the town. It is a gocd omen that thc Ferry (which is worked in conjunction with the Pier) is proving its> If a remunerative property. The proposal to introduce Electric Light into Bangor is prominently before the pubiio at the present time. I ama supporter of the movement oil its moritti but am still stronger in support of it if, as we are informed on blh authority tbe alterna- tive is to bring the Gisworka to the sea-shore. I will strongly oppose anything ot the kind. If the Gasworks are placed on the foreshore at Hirael all the surrounding property will be seriously depre- oiated in value, aud the beautiful Pier which tbe Corporation is now building will suffer greatly. It has been well taid that we are spending E25,000 on a Pier to attract visitors to the town. Are we going to spend another £ 2o,000 to bring the Gas- works to Hirael in order to drive vieitors away ? The repealed flooding cf Hirael is a standing dis- grace to the town. To remedy this I shall exert my b at energies. The putrifying heap of rubbish at the bottom of Deau-sireet, in the immediate vicinity of the schools aud villas in C)UfSB of erctioLl, i, a standing mt?va to the h.-Ith of the l,eighburho0d and ff,n?i, to Pedestrians. I am of opinion that the Corporation Yard Rould be put to some beter purpose and the refuse tipped elsewhere. The state of our public roads demands nrgent attention the Garth-road is particularly ill need of complete' venovatiou. The lighting, too, is bad. I shall do all I can to keep this matter before the Council until it is effectively dealt with. I should like als" to see the footpatb along Beach-road asphalted or paved, and the wall along-side rai»ed a foot or two as a protection to the scores of poor children who go daily from Hirael to Garth Schools, and are exposed to the driving winds and rain. The iirogularity of the water supply at Girth and other parts of the town is an evil, to the remedying of which I shall devote my best attention. The above are special mitt; era which may iatere,t you. All these and other improvements which may conduce to the welfare ot tbe town in general auo the Eaet Ward in particular will reoeive my con- stant support. I have the honour to be, La aies and Gentleman, Your obedient servant, W. A. FOSTER.

RECESS ORATORY. NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that Ministers are busily engaged preparing their measures for next session, the general apathy oncoming politics continues to prevail. TbeGladstonian leaders have, it is trne, made a few speo, hes, of which lI1r ASQurfH's, at Bristol, is the mist remarkable; but there is no vivacity ia the attack, and the controversies atteupfed a-e, as a rule, poor aad uninteresting. What can be more abpurd than the efforts made by the press to charge apoa the Government oomphttf indifference to the ptomijes made, or supposed t) bate been made, by their suppor- ters during the late election ? Surely it would be more sensible, not to say decent, to wait for the QOKEN'S Speech before any conclusion is come to on this point. Mr ASQUITU, it is true, hss more or less changed his ground. He says nothing now abiat, Disrstabhshmeot, nor does hft descanl DpOl Irish Home Rule. He ii biltnt about Local Option and the Hous" of l ords. He may believe in ali ili se points of the Liberal creed just as firmly as of old, but th y do not balk to any size in his Bristol epeeoh. His allusions to the agricultural depression were, on the wh ile, friendly, and he gave a cordial support to Lord SALISBUHY'S foreign policy. Iu fact, the Ex-HoME SKCRETAKY has learned some useful lessons durirg the past few months, and he is now clothed and in his right mind, compared to h-s old position, with regard to a good many public question?. Turning to t'ie speeches of our own leaders, there is a good deal to note worthy (f atten- tion. Sir MICIIARL HICKS-BKACII, last week, favoured his Bristol audience with an early forecast of i.ext yeH'¡¡ budget. He dec are I that it was within the reasonable bounds of possibility that next April he might have the good fortune to present t.) Parliament such a financial stitea«ut as may enable him, as Chancellor of thi Exchequer, to meet the needs of the COllntry withoit i,.c c i;ei tixa- tion. This stftirannt is cheering enough by itself, but whsn read in couiiicion with what Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH had previously been saying, Ih" e is a good de^l uiore thui meets th. eye The Government are pledged to afford such further assistance to the voluntary schools as wi,l ensure their ui »ir,t nance Ps a most important part of the elemf,-itary system or eiucatiou of thi country. This certainly cannot be done without mo tey. Sir MICIIAEL further hinted that while p-rhaps the tliciency oft: e A, my in:g-.t be insria<«d without addi- tional cost, ttia expenditure on the Navy might hue to be furtlwr enlarged. No (in cin coasp'aiu of trs, in the preientqtate of n irtirs in the Far E-.st, to say nothing of Asia Minor. With regard to agriculture, the CHANCELLOR promised SJnJe palliatives which are hardly likely to be carried out altogether without cost. Here then is a distinct programme! requirinq funds for its due perfor mance, and yet Sir Niicii,%Er, HICKS-BEACH tell. us he hopes to carry it out without adding to; the taxation of the country. The inference is that he loiks for a considerable surplus of revenue, cut of which the increased expendi- ture may be defrayed. All this is good news for the taxpayers of the country. It shows that thera is stiil buoyancy in the trade and commerce of the Kingdom, aDd that the return of a Unionist Gjvernment to power has given confidence and stability to industrial enter- pri se. Given our usual exemption from expensive Wdrs, we may look forward to a realisation of Sir MicnAEL HICKS. Br.,tcii'p b,,i(l_;et foreca-st-with so-me confidence. Sir MATTHEW WlIlTE RIDLEY'S remarks to the representatives of the Trades Union Con- gress deserve more notice than perhaps they have gained. He threw out very plainly that next session the Government would intro dnce an Employers' Liability Bill, which he hoped would finally ssttle a question which was so badly bungled by the hte Government. The fact U at Mr CHAMBERLAIN is a member J of the same Cabinet as Sir MATTHEW is a l pretty good uamnt('e that the bill will not er, on the ide of narrowness or want of sympathy. One of Mr CHAMBERLAIN'S most important I criticisms of. Mr ASQUITH'S bill was that it would apply to only some twenty-five psr I cent, of the cases of accident that occur, and the great question is haw this fact can be adequately remedied by legislation. Tile question of insurance, no doubt, lies at the bottom of the whole, und it is evident from the HemE SECRETARY'S speech that he intends to deal with it. It is not surprising that the Trade Unionists expressed themselves ar opposed to contracting out, for they were t the bottom of the whole organissd resistance t'.1 Lord DuDT.EY's celebrated amendment: but this was a point which was decided by the railway men themstlves at the general election. If their votes meant anything, it was that the existing insurance societies were to be free to live and -thrive, in matter what bill was passed into law. Mr BALTOUR'S recent speeches in Scotland are noteworthy for their bold and buoyant tone, and well they may be when the political evolu- I tion of Scotch Conservatism is considered. Time was when the Conservative Party in North Britain was almost an infinitesimnl quantity. Even in 1892 the Unionists held only twenty two seats as against fifty Separatists, giving the latter a majority of twenty eight. That majority has been beaten down now to six, the Unionists holding thirty- three, all against thirty-nine of the Gladstoniun party. As Mr BALFOUR pointed out, at present the Western counties form the stronghold of the present Government in Scotland, for out of twenty- seven seats, twenty are now held by his sup- porters. In the East of Scotlind no such catalogue of trininphs can be shown, but etill the steady trend of educated opinion has been towards the Conservative Party, and as Mr BALFOUR observed, where educated opinion, irrespective of class, has given its verdict, the great mass of the country will necessarily follow in the end. Meanwhile the work of organisation must go on. Both the Leader of the House of Commons in Scot- land, and Lord SALISBURY in England, have hid great: stress upon the enormous importance of keeping the Unionist Party and its machinery in full working order. Constant vigilance is the price we have to pay for the liberties which the late gene: al election ensaro us, and no iniolelc,, or apathy must be allowed to creep into the ranks in the hour of victory. Lord SALISBURY'S great s peech at Brighton, On Tue-day, is noteworthy beciusa in its practical aspects it tears out our rendering of the statements made by Sir MICHAEL HICKS- BRAcn. The naval defences of the country are of supreme importance beciuee, whatever is left uudone, we must make ourselves safe at Eea." Similarly we must come to the aid of the agricultural interests wh'ch have Buffered from the greatest depression of recent years, and the intilerable strain which is now pat upou d,nomioational schools demands the most urgent consideration. The PRDlE MINISTER dwelt at greater length on the Educational Question in his speech on Wednesday, when a deputation representing all schools of thought in the Church waited upon Lord SALISBURY aud the DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE. No definite plan for dealing with this difficult matter could be expected at the present time, but all friends of religions education wiil rejoice to find that the Government will do its utmost to relieve onr best and most efficient schools of the intolerable strain to which they have been subjected by doctrinaire Radicals.

There was a Hme (remarks the Gluhe) wbeo Mr T. E. Ellis "as fondly called the Pamell c- Walec. But now, to judge from the very pretty qnarrel raging between him and Mr D. A. Thomas, his political exemplars are Massra Dillon and Healy.-

Mr William Evaus, barrister- at-, aw, has this weak been aotinj as ooanty oou-t jadgi for M:e- Wale.s in tbe unavoidable absence, through illneis, of His Honour Judge Lewis, who has, daring Iri short career on the Bench, been held in the highest esteem both by bar and clients, and, as was express-id at Porimadoc County Court on Wednes- day by Mr Casaou, it is to be hoped that he will 8)On recover.

The Pwllheli School Board his overcome the un- happy incident respecting the appointment of tbe new headmaster, and three mombers have been eleotsd to take the seats of those who resigned. It is said that the h-adraaster has a'ready wrought wonderful changes in the school and in tbe interest of education it is to be hped that the result will fully justify the majority of the Board in the posi- tion rliay took.

Mr Gwenogfryu Evans lias finished the first vol. nme of his catalogue of Welsh MSS. It has been for some time in the printers' hinds, and bat for osrtain tcboiJal rliffioltied in reproducing the exact lettsrs demanded by MI Evans wonld have been published by this time. Mr Evans insists, in all his works, upon tbe most minute an I even painful accuracy, and sohoUrly cure mtvlog any work he undertake* ttaal. T.Je volnma may bj ex. pecei to appear at the beginning of the year.

Toe Gwyntdd Eisteddfod Committee have been dragged into the County Court. Through some bungling they got at loggerheads with tbe piano- forte tuner, or striotly speaking, with his employers, a",d they were callei upon to pay a fee of one guinea. The other case is rather a novel one, arid as it is titbjmlice it would ill-become us ti pass upon it any comments. At the same time the statements made in open court msy aci as a warning :0 other local Iiisteddfodau to be more careful in adhering to the rules.

One of the most interesting MSS. in the MotVD cullection in a History of My Own Time," written by a Welsh soldier in the reign of Elizabeth. It is written in excellent Welsh, and betrays a turn for style and literary expression which is surprising in a man following the profession of arm?. It relates many interesting facts conueroing English wars abroad, and will, when published, b3 a notable contribu:ion to the history of the early years of Elizabeth, as it contains the narrative of an eye. witness about tbe suppression ot the insarreotion in the Eastern Counties.

People leaving Pwllheli by train at night have good reison to complain of the wretched light affJrded pedestrians on the embankment. On Tues- day evening several persons experienced the greatest difficulty in getting along. The darkness was in- tense for about 200 or 300 yards, and not a single lamp fcr that distance was lit. Sorely the Town Council, if they have the interests of the borough at heart, ought to see that this pari of all others, is properly lighted as the protection of the publio certainly demands it. This is a grand opportunity for the new members of the Corporation to show what capacity they have for grappling wi'h prac- tical reforms.

The death of Bishop Campbell, says the Western Mail, recall) to memory an amusing incident reoorded of him as rector of Merthyr Tydfil. Rid- WI-: out cne day on horseback he oame up with the )«ie Evan Harris, an eccentrio Welsh Calvinistie Methodist mini-tor at Merthyr, and what would be called an original character. The bishop and Evau Harris were both making for the town, and Mr Campbell very kindly invited the Methodist to take a ride behind his back, s) as to b3 better able to crcsi the Tail River than on foot. Harris accepted the invitation, remarking, to the evideut delight of Air Campbell, This was propnly done, sir, properly done, the best preacher c;mes last" (" mae'r preethwr gorenln olal").

The will of the late Daniel OIVU, the Welsh novelist, says a contemporary, is an interesting document somewhat characteristic of the testator. The trustees are two members of the chapel at which h3 used to worship, and they are left £10 ea.;h, with £:20 more to be divid6d equally among their children, four in number. To hIS workmen he left JE5 and a suit of clothes e-tch £ 10 to his apprentice, with his watch and gold chain £10 to the poor mambjrs of bis congregation, iE23 to foreign missions, C5 to his landlady, with the chair in which he nsad to sit, his pictares, and bis clothes ches," £5 and the royalty derivable from Straeon y Pentan" for 4J years to a Miss JODas. The residue of the personalty gias to his three nieces.

The Parliamentary candidates for the Merioneth- shire election have entered a protest agaicst thn charges of the retarninsf offioer. At the Portmadoo County Court or. Wednesday Mr J. Bryn Roberts, if.P., on behalf of the Radical candidate aud Mr Arthnr J. Uu^liss, AbcrysSwyth, for the Unionist candidate, asked for the direction:of the judge when the billa came to be s-ixed. It was c0mp!a.ined that the maximum charges had been made whereas the law only gMntsd auch charges as wero" necessary," and Mr Bryn Huberts implied that only professional men deserved tue higher scale of remuneration while clerka and others should be paid less. The question is a very intricate one,aod likely to give the poor registrar who has to conduct the taxation, a great deal of trouble. It w8 quite apparent on Wednesday that tbe presiding officers mean to strenuously oppose any rednotion in thsir cbrRes. I

A pnblic meeting had been announced to be held at Portmadoc last week to further the Llewelyn Memorial movement, but the pro- ceedings had to be adj nurned owing to the scanty attendance. Of all the speakers menti ned in the placards only two, and one cf them the chairman, put in an appearance. It is difficult to account for such lack of en- thasiaem aud patriotic feeling on the part of the public, and possibly the fault lies in another direction. Lord Kenyon wa3 to be one of the epeakers, and on the previous day was the guest of Mr Oakeley, at Tanybwlch, but his lordship proccelo not to Portmadoc, a distance of about nine or ten miles, but to Carnarvon, where be finds be has been mis-directed or mi3-informed o! the placa of meetiug. It is to be regretted that suoh a national movement should have any obloquy cast upon it through tha mismanagement of local officials. However, wa are happy to announce that a local committee has been formed and we have every confidence that it will eucoeed in raising a substantial fund, having, ai it has, the servic-i of such an energetic and capable hon. secretary as Mr Evan Evans, headmaster of the Snowdon-street School.

Whether a female farm servant is entitled to leave in the middle of the term was the question to which Sir Horatio Lloyd had to apply himself at Carnarvon on Wednesiay. A young woman engaged to serve at a farm for six months, and according to bar story. she consented to remain after the expiry of her term until her mistress had acquired another girl to take up her duties. But nnfortnnate'y for the plaintiff, she afterwards practically gave bar oase away by admittiug that she agreed to stay on for another full term. When six weeks of the scond term had gone, site gave notice to leave, and now claimed her wages for that period. The learned judge showed a great deeire to arrive at a solution which would be in agreement with law and custom. The ,at curious part of the case was that there should be such conflicting evidence as to custom. On the part of the plaintiff there was testimony that farm servants were accustomed to leave in the middle of a term by giving a month's notice, while the defendant's caee stood on quite a different ground. His Honour regarded it as a folly and a hardship in the case of farm servants that either employer or employed should have the power to givil a month's notice when there was a ppec;fio EDagomeLlt for a term of six months. He was evidently cf opinion that each a state o! things might result in all eorta of incon- venienoes and losses,and, applying shrewd ooramon- tense to the case, he decided agaicet the plaintiff. Disagreements of this catura are ot frequent occurrenoe b-.tween farmers and their eervants, but Judge Lloyd's latest decision may tend to reduce their number in the future.

The aivncates of the theory tnat yonng people who are also poor have no right to enter the married fiats bud a case in their favour presented to the CoiiLty (Joart Judge at Carnarvon this week. A young man from Sbenezer applied for an admini- stration criicr to guard h'mself against the inrush of creditors. As ho stepped into the box, a beard- less and simple youth, one naturally conjectured what 2&d brought the applicant to sach a pass at the threshold of manhood. His luv/v-r explained that he bad not yet attiued hi, majority, bat two years previously he hud taken nnti hima^lf a wife, and he had a child thirteen moatlis o! I be d,bts which be cv/od were of the kind usually contracted to keep a house £ piag. Finding that the wages which the applicant oarned only averaged E2 a month, the jd" had no alteruativi bui to allow the order. Tnis ip only one out of tUll.))' examples of improvident miriiages in our qavry districts. Heedless of their future resp 'nsibilitus, scores at' young men and women plntg. jn-0 matrimony with barely euongb money to pay the jewelie-. Tho inevitable r.salt is that, especially with small wagea, thej make a tour of thi ;r;ide3mon of the districi 11[;(1 eventually bec&nis habitues of the county court, and then crippled hr He rrs: of their lives. TLc lask oi thrift on the part of young man and the almost uiter ignorance of lm jehoU Out:tj on the part of many si-Is are fruitful sources of the miserj and poverty which are so prevalent in our quarry c-rtres.

Talkiug to a Carnarvon lady about last Settr 'ay'i great storm (writei a correspondent;, she told me how she happened to be the ssle eye-witness of terrible 'hir.w.-ejk oo the Carn^rvo.i Sir in a previous stjrm. It was on a Sunday raornioj some fifteen years ago. A storm had b.501 ra^elog ,It Saturday eight aDd well on to tlis following ill ru- ing. My informant lives, now as she did then, ia a bouss overlooking the Menai Straits, 11:11 embracing an uninterrupted view of t'ie Bar. Little did slio sleep that nij;ht. The force of the wind aDd tho p*t;er of the rain, cjuj-lsd with anxiety about the safety of some who were dear to her ut Ha1 made her r.: less and fearsome. As soon Sf, the first, streaks of light had penetrated her bedroom hhe Btocd by the window and looked out cu tbe rivt-r. The wir;d a(; rain h'.d ab iteJ, but there was a tremendous sea running ou :I'e Bar Sometimei the waves rose mounlaim bL:h and broke again in a eQlgitJg mass, while ti;e spray iH1:1i:J1!: therefrom covers J t "c whole saeae and obscured it for minuses together Look' c; iu the direction of the op'n ge almost the r)ri-.ct that tbia anxious lady saw w tS a amack j'ist ch;.1.d; tfce Bar. Though mercilessly handled by the waves the lit:le cratt crossed safely. Within a few yarda of her followed arother vessel of larger dimensions. She made what seemed a desp'rate attempt to cross, but was completely hemmed in by the wave?. She swung £ r?t to one side and then to the otb, and eventually collapsed to '-jecome a total wreck. Tbe struggle lasted hut two or three minutes and all was over. My friend instantly awoke her husband, who at first refused to believe Us wifu's story, bnt so convince 3 was she in herTci/n mind that he substqaectly proceeded to Cocltsidia—the residence f Mr Jackson, the then surveyor of the Harbour TruEt-ard retailed his wife's experience. The crtw of ths smack were interviewed. They had seen a vessel following them bat knew nothing of her fate. The matter was finally cleared up a day or two af'erwarda when several bndi?s and parts of the wre-.ked ship were C3: ashore r.ot far from where the disaster occurred. It was a Nevin brig, w'n.-s? nacae I have now forgotten. Ever since that Sun lay morning my friend told me that a storm m».k= s her rervous and leads her instinc- tively to the window.
