WHIT MONDAY is a Bank Holiday, and will, of course, be generally kept in Wrex- ham^ as well as. everywhere else. This year, it will be a brilliant day in our town, for the Eisteddvod Committee have decided on holding the Gorsedd and proclaiming the great Eisteddvod of 1876 on that day. In another column we give a programme of the day's proceedings which commence soon after ten a.m. and continue throughout the day, almost without intermission, until 10 p m. We look forward with interest to the mysterious proceedings of the Gorsedd and Vord Gron." The public luncheon, we are all of course familiar with, but the fourth item on the day's bill of fare, Mr Brinley Richards' Lecture on National Music" will be a treat we do not come across every day. It will be a lecture and concert rolled into one, and we believe it will attract a large audience. We hope the people of Wrexham will give their fellow Welshmen a hearty welcome on Whit Monday and show by their unanimous co-operation, that they fully appreciate the Eisteddvod as one of the chief institutions of the country.

THE MORALS OF MERIONETHSHIRE must be exceedingly good, inasmuch as only one criminal case for salmon fishing was brought before the magistrates at the Quarter Ses- sions held last week, therefore other matters were brought forward. Mr C. Edwards, of Dolserau called attention to the very defective state of the postal arrangements in the county. Sometimes it would take three days for a letter from Lon- don to reach Dolgelley. Complaints were continually made to the Government on the subject, and to each letter a Government clerk replied I have the honour to ac- knowledge the receipt of your letter, which shall receive immediate attention." At last however a reply was given saying that nothing could be done at present inasmuch as the Great Western Company would not carry out the required arrangements for less than between £4000 and E5000 yearly. The noblemen and honourable gentlemen con- nected with the county were requested to wait on the Postmaster General and urge on him the adoption of means that would redress the grievance. Captain Taylor called attention to the fact that the county hall at Bala was used for political purposes. He referred to the Liberation meeting recently held there and wanted to know who would be responsible if the windows were broken. Dr Richards thought it would be time to say that, when such a thing occurred—and very likely in the case of a Church Defence Meeting, the gallant Cap- tain would think so too. ———— ———

THE "PAPER WAR" between Mr Glad- stone and the Roman Catholic champions still goes on. The last pamphlet of the eloquent statesman, which was entitled "Vaticanism" has drawn forth a further reply from Dr. Newman. This reply is to be found as a postscript appended to a new edition of his Letter to the Duke of Norfolk." With regard to a personal reference by Mr Gladstone, Dr Newman states that from the day he became a Catholic until now, a period of thirty years, he never had a moments' misgiving that the Communion of Rome is that Church which the apostles set up at Pente- cost, which alone has the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the revealed law and the service of God and the promises, ''and in which the Anglican Com- munion, whatever its merits and demerits, whatever the great excellence of individuals in it, has, as such, no part." He adds that he has never for a moment wished himself back. It is wonderful to think, what different opinions may be held by different individuals, by looking at an object from different stand points. A party of Noncon- formists who have lately returned from Rome, have come back with lower estimates than ever of this communion, and believe that it is equally at war with the intelligence of man and the gospel of Christ. Then again as to the statement of thp venerable Doctor that he never repented of the step he took in forsaking the church of England and joining that of Rome, probably this would be the experience of nine out of every ten converts" as well as perverts." Very likely Canon Grassi who renounced Popery to become a Baptist, and who now labours for that denomination in the city of the Seven Hills would state the same thing. This in itself would never prove the truth of any doctrine. It may prove the con- scientiousness of the man. But we had no need of a proof of Dr. Newman's sincerity, since it was never doubted bv anv ?n?t???c,' ftI -J "U\j judgement is worth anything. On the question of marriage he says that Mr Gladstone only mentions two ways of marrying according to Catholic teaching, viz., civil and religious marriages. But he asserts that there is a third, in which the essence of the sacrament lies, viz., the mutual act of consent of the parties which they enter into without a priest or a lawyer. Such a vow of each to the other is accord- ing to our theology really the constitutino, act the matter and form-the sacrament of marriage." We in our simplicity cannot understand then why Catholics make so much ado over the religious performance of marriage by a priest. How is it they will fight so much against civil marriages ? Surely Mr Gladstone is quite able to hold his own against such an able and clever trio as Dr Newman, Cardinal Manning, and Monsignor Capel.

ASSUMING that the new code framed by the Education Department will pass as it now stands, it may operate for better and for worse upon the schools. It concedes the right (which ought to have been allowed years ago) "in districts where Welsh is spoken that the intelligence of the children may Be tested by requiring them to explain in Welsh the meaning of pas- sages read. It contains some very stringent clauses, which no doubt will ac- celerate the progress of education, but will operate very stringently against some schools as things stand at present. In places where there are no School Boards it is most difficult to get the children to at- tend regularly, and so it may militate against such schools that they are obliged to bring torward every child whese name has been on the register for three months to be examined What is now, wanted is the universal adoption of School Boards. Whilst on this subject we may refer to the injustice resultant to the managers of volun- tary schools where they cannot have a Board, and where on account of rival schools they cannot raise what is proper in the shape of fees for the instruction of children. Say that the education of each child costs on an average zEl and that the Government grant amounts to 10S, is it right that artisans who earn perhaps 303 a week are allowed to have the most solid instruction for their children for perhaps 4s 4d a year each. We believe that parents have not yet awakened to their true position with regard to the education of their children as a rule. They have been often taught to think that it was some great benefit for the managers to have their presence in school, and this state of things cannot be effectuallv remedied until through School Boards or some other universal system the State will teach each ratepayer to feel the responsibility as a citizen and a man. li-P.

HAVING commented very fully last week J on the dispute now taking place between the masters and men in the North Wales collieries, we have little this week to add but to note the various phases the question has gone through since our last publication. This is done very fully in our news columns. We have now. to call attention to what ap- pears to be the crucial point, stet the action of both sides thereon. The employers say that a reduction is necessary; the men that they don't see the necessity. Both are at issue, but both are willing to refer the matter to arbitration. The masters have taken the first step towards such arbitration by passing a resolution in favor of a board of conciliation and nominating their share of its members. The men have also passed a resolution in favor of such a board, but they complain that the action of the masters does not leave sufficient time for the due constitution of such a board or the necessary investigation of the question afterwards. They therefore ask for more time. Unfortunately, however, they, at the mass meeting on Thursday, neglected to appoint their members of such a board. Had they done this, no doubt these repre- sentatives would have been able to secure a reasonable time to decide the question on its merits. It must not be forgotten that the essential difference between the case of the masters here and in South Wales is, that there they refuse to submit to the decision of such a board, had they done so the dispute would have been settled at once. Here the masters appear willing to accept this arbitration, though clogged with a con- dition which readers it unacceptable. We should be glad to see the men appoint their members of a board of conciliation at once. Let them meet the representatives of the masters at the earliest possible date, and should the period now limited by the notice be insufficient for their deliberations, no doubt an extension could be arranged.

THE Wrexham District Tramways Com- pany are now showing signs of life. It will be remembered that an Act of Parlia- ment was obtained two sessions ago for the construction of a tramway to Rhos, one to Broughton, and a third to the bottom of Summer Hill. Since then the project has lain in abeyance chiefly we believe because of the high price of iron. Now however rails, we are informed, can be bought 40 per cent. lower than two years ago. and with the view to the immediate carrying out of the work, the company has been regularly formed, and in another column we publish the prospectus issued by the directors. The want of an improved means of communication between these thickly populated places and Wrexham is so evident that no words of ours are necessary to prove the fact or strengthen the case. This want the company intend to supply and in the effort we trust they will have the support of all interested in facilitating the traffic and intercourse of the places affected The Board of Directors is constituted of gentle- men of position who take an interest in the prosperity of Wrexham and are prepared to manifest that interest in the strongest possible manner by taking up one third of the capital in their own circles. They are moreover sufficiently known as men of business and integrity to guarantee the bona jides of the undertaking and so secure the confidence of the shareholders. The Secretary upon whose activity, tact, and skill, so much necessarily depends, is iu every way an excellent appointment. We are glad to hear that the shares are being taken up already with considerable activity, and we trust that funds will be immediatelv available for the promoters to take advan- of summer weather for the execution of the works. The line to Rhos terminating at Maelor Road, Johnstown, is we under- stand to be commenced very shortly. We hope ere we are many months older to see both passengers and goods conveyed regularly, comfortably, and systematically between Wrexham and these places, and we believe that the improved intercourse will be so appreciated by the public as to be highly beneficial to the investors. If anyone doubts this he has only to look at the thousands who now endure the discomfort of the tax carts. Should this not be sufficient let him try the journey himself. We have—and are thankful for the tramways.

THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT has opened up in respect to legislation a number of questions which sadly require treatment; but even with the great majority at the back of Mr Disraeli and his colleagues it does not seem as if any important reform could be effected in social matters. One thing we were led to expect as a certainty from the Conservative Government, and that was sanitary reform. Sanitas Sanitatum, omnia sanitas, had been attributed as a motto to Mr Disraeli, and it only fulfilled people's expectations when Mr Cross brought in a bill to effect sanitary reforms. But that Bill is gone it has disappeared as rivers sometimes do in sandy plains. Nobody can give any good reason „ why it should have vanished, but it has fallen out of the ministerial programme for the session, and has made a considerable gap in a not very full bill of fare. For the present year at least we must expect no sanitary reforms at the hands of the Govern- ment. There was another subject with which the present Ministry was expected to deal-a matter to which in a manner it had committed itself—that is to say local taxation. It is highly expedient not only that the incidence of local taxation should be examined and revised but that financial boards should be established to control r county expenditure; but the Government, 1 after the sop it gave to local taxpayers last session, has held its hand, and has ignored the matter altogether. The farmers have been looking to their presumed friends of the Conservative party for a measure of tenant-right; but the measure brought in I upon this subject has been condemned by almost every chamber of agriculture that has considered it. The farmers have said pretty clearly, We asked you for bread, and you have given us a stone." It would be far better not to stir questions up at all than to treat them so inadequately. Let us only glance at another bit of social legislation, the new Adulteration Bill. The Government thought to improve the law, but it has destroyed nearly all protection we had against the villanous tricks of trade. It has also been dealing with benefit societies in a peddling sort of way, which can do neither much good nor much harm, and lately it has been going on with its Artisans' Dwelling Bill, which is one of those per- missive pieces of legislation which are generally allowed to lie by like so much lumber in a garret. It sounds very tine to give local authorities power to acquire dilapidated house property, to pull it down and to lease the ground cleared for building purposes. The power of raising rates for this object is not likely to be much used. Most local authorities will prefer to raise rates from dilapidated houses, instead of spending money in demolishing them. In lieu of this permissive legislation, we ought to have a strict enactment against houses unfit for habitation, obliging landlords to cleanse, repair or rebuild. We find no difficulty in establishing a sanitary rule as regards factories or schools, and there need be none with respect to houses. But what we want in all these cases of social legislation is com- pulsion instead of permission. We may go on legislating with "mays" for ever, and nothing will come of it. "Shall" is in our language the pro- per word for legislative enactments and if we do not use that word in respect to any matter in its legislative treatment, we might I just as wel not pretend to deal with the matter at all.

Local News. THE PUBLIC HALL SERVICES.—OA Sauday evening there was a very large attendance at the prayer meeting in the Public Hall, Mr J. Pryce- Jones conducted the proceedings. READINGS AND Music. The last of Mr Harriss's most attractive entertainments will take place on Tuesday next. We refer our readers to the advertisement in another column for full particulars. This is to be a grand extra night, and the artistes engaged ought to draw a bumper house. ST. MARK'S DAY.-The festival of St. Mark, the patron saint of Sr. Mark's Church, will be held on Sunday week, the 25th, beiag St. Mark's D.,iy. There will be special services, and two celebrations of the holy communion, at 8.30 and 11.45. Special rehearsals are now being con- ducted by Mr Hamas to perfect the musical part of the services. THE FAIR.—Most of the shows remained until the beginning of the week, and they were pretty well patronised, especially on Monday, when the weather, being fine, a large number of persons came to town. We omitted last week to mention that Mr Bennett and one or two other old visisors to the fair had their shops open in the Birmingham Hall. SALE OF COLLIERY SEIA.RE:S.-V.essrs. Baugh and Jones offered for sale, at the Lion Hotel, on Friday, a number of shares in the Vron Colliery Company. Mr Henry Robertson. M.P., purchased thirty JE5 paid-up shares for 29 5s each, and Mr Heywood, watchmaker, bought 35 for JE9 each. Fifty new shares, on which 30s had been paid, were withdrawn, the highest bid being 40. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY COM- PANY.—The chairmanship of this company, ren- dered vacant by the death of Mr Thomas Dag- dale, of Blickbarn, has devolved upon Mr TIJo. Barnes, of the Quinta, Chirk. Mr Barnes has long held a seat at the board, and from his com- mercial experience, coupled with his general urbanity, we have reason to think that the in- terests of the shareholders, and also of the travelling public, will be carefully watched and considerably promoted. THE ARTISANS DWELLINGS BILL. Mr Watkin Williams spoke in favour of the amend- ment proposed by Mr James on Monday evening to add words to clause 7, enacting that no license for intoxicating liquors on premises erected under the Act should be granted, unless previously the number of houses licensed were less than one for every thousand of the population inhabiting such area. Mr Williams said he should vote for the amendment for the reason that made it difficult for him to support a Permissive Bill, that it was the dnty of the Imperial Parliament to take upon itself to determine for a country what hw should prevail upon this subject, and not throw the re- sponsibility on public bodies of deciding matters of such vast importance. He would have voted for a clause prohibiting altogether the erection of public bouses in these districts. BENEFIT CONCERT.— An entertainment was I given in the Public Hall on Friday evening, for the benefit of the widow and seven children of the late Mr James Armstrong, by the Willow Minstrels, a troupe which comprises a number of gentlemen of the town. There was a large au- dience. The performers were got up a la Christy, and there were the customary corner men and interlocutors. The songs included those of a sentimental and comic type, and those of the lat- ter kiod, sung by Mr Pompey Brown" and I" Mr Saml. White," created much laughter. The eccentric scene of the phour crowes" was ex- ceedingly funny, and kept the audience in a con- tinual titter. Bat not the least amusing were the endeavours of the auditory to make out who the performers were, concealed as their features were behind a coating of burnt cork. Mr Charles St. Clair" (more generally known perhaps as Mr Edwin Harris), looked not unlike an Indian ra- jah in European evening dress and the appear- ance of Mr Theophilus Henri" (Mr C. A. Stephenson) was no less strange. THE ELECTION OF GUARDIANS.—The counting .of the votes collected in the townships in which there were contests was commenced at the Work- house on Saturday last, and was not concluded until Tuesday. The official return was as fol- lows Abenbury Fawr (one member), Cbnrles Belmont, farmer, Caemynoch, 38 J. H. Kidd, Croesnewydd, merchant, 5.

Last year, in Ruabon 2,315 votes were recorded for eight candidates: or an average of 289 for each this year, there were 3,944 voles, or an average of 394. There was a very large number of spoiled papers. -< THE REV. OWEN THOMA« 1 Dounced to preach in Z?n w?t ? ??'. 'ia ?.. Chapel, on Monday eve?
