AN APPEAL HAS BEEN ISSUED by the Council oi Aberystwyth College for subscriptions to make good the loss sustained by the late fire. Mr J. P. Seddon, the architect and the original designer of the building, estimates that it will require a sum of £25,000 to restoreand complete the structure on its present site. To provide a similar building, giving the same requirements on a new site, as proposed by some influential friends of the College, will obviously involve a very much larger expenditure. The Council have taken steps tu inform themselves of the plan that will be most advantageous, and that which best combines economy with efficiency will be adopted, but it is clear that after deduct- ing the sum recoverable for assurance, viz £10,000, that at least E15,000 will be required to again place the College on a satisfactory foot- ing. From the preliminary list of subscrip- tions, which includes £500 from Mr Stuart Rendel, M P., je300 from Lord Sudeley and £ 200 each from Sir W. W. Wynn, M. P., Mr Henry Robertson, M. P., and Mr W. Thomas, of Llanelly, it appears that a sum of between three and four thousand pounds has already been promised, and to this amount, and what will be further subscribed to this fund, Mr D. Davies, f. P., in conjunction with his son, Mr I Edward Davies, has ?y generously promised ? to add 20 per cent. An influential general committee has already been formed, in pur- suance of a resolution passed at a meeting held at the Mansion House. Lord Aberdare is the e lairman, and Mr Alderman Evans, of the City of London, vice-chairman, and it comprises Lord Sudeley, a large number of the Welsh members of Parliament, the chairman of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, the president of the Wes- leyan Conference, and other influential and representative persons (upwards of 200). In connection with this, it is contemplated to form local committees in the principal places of North and South Wales, S^ith T view of 90liciti.ng subscripions and orffaniz n^ „ gregational collechons, as was formerly done in aid of the Temporary Sustentation Fund. The Council point to the very satisfactory progress te College ha made in an educational point of new t the efficient state of the teaching staff a a the achievements of the students at thè English Universities. In conclusio express the conviction that the C il' they before it a long and brilliant future, I ee. hall when the long delayed measure for h;te:;ecl,l\, Education in Wales comel into opcrarn\!I.l'at to realize these aspirations it is necess;on, but more, and it is hoped for the last time t' r once to the friends of education in Wales to  the generous sacrifices which led 0 t'l)l'ólt eatabliahment of the College" the

W LORD HARTINGTON SAID THE OTHER DAT Lancashire that the next Parliament wo,,? deserve well of the country if it abolished son antiquated laws of property and reformed the government of the counties. One may vent to hope that it will do a good deal more thati that, and among other things that it will pa some attention to sanitary reforms. There* much to be done in this direction. There art; of course no lack of Acts of Parliament which have more or less to do with the Public Health, and these might well be arranged and codified so that local authorities and owners and occupiers of houses might know more cleariv than they do at present what are their duties and responsibilities. But there are one or two principles which might well be now adopted part of the law of the land, but which at present are only among the number of the things which ought to be. One most Important principle was recognised in a half-hearted way 1^. Session and, in a mutilated form, is now b", We refer to the clause in the Housing the Poor Act which provides that where a house i. let for people to dwell in, there shall be inipljyj in the contract a condition that it is at the tilll of letting" in all respects reasonably fit il e human habitation." This clause in its presets form only applies to houses let to persons of the working classes. It was indeed intended in the first instance that it should apply to houses but Parliament seemingly Was afraid to go so far as this, the clause was watered down, and the protection conferred by it restricted to persons of the working classes. \t present, therefore- tin I ess the common lasv supplies a remedy (which is doubtful)—it iS8jt- to let to a person who does not belon" to the working-classes, a house which is not all respects reasonably fit for human habitation This is clearly absurd. The principle tliu partially recognised is fair and just, and should be engrafted in the statutj book. The law might indeed go further, and define IUllre clearly the respective responsibilities ()f loe,ji, authority, and owner or occupier of house pri perty in respect of the elementary rules ..1 health. The law might forbid the f,CCIIPtti,"i of any house as a dwelling-house until certiti ) to be in a sanitary condition by a duly iiuuiiriej. person (strictly defining the qualifications of such persons, and imposing severe penalties the issue of false certificates) the law mil!ht require that every house should be cut off from the public sewers by a disconnecting syphon trap and air chamber, and might declare that the owner or occupier of the house was reauon. sible for this trap and for the drainage system of the house on the house side of it. The difficulty is that every town is mainly composed of old houses, the majority of which were built in the dark days when sanitary science was in its infancy. Were we now laying out our cities everything would be easy, but we have to deal with old established towns with houses drains ] in all sorts of ways, or-in many cases—not drained at all. Still, in the interests of the whole community, stringent rules as to healths houses are imperatively necessary, and th. statesman who first reforms our sanitary law:1I accordance with modern times and require- ments, will deserve as well of his country as h. who reforms the land laws or gives us an im- proved local government.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING IN CONNBCTIOJF with the present discussion which is being carried >>ri about small holdings of land, peasant proprie- tors, and allotments, to give some account of the system of land tenure in force on Lord Tollemache's famous estates in Cheshire. Lord Tollemache has two large estates in this county on which there are 52 farms of over 100 acres each 40 farms of from 15 to 100 acres each 50 averaging 9 acres each and 32 holdings of about 5 acres and besides, 300 laborers' cot- tages with allotments of 3 acres each First with regard to the small holdingsEach owner of a farm or holding under 30 acres hls-tliie is a condition of his tenure—other means of livelihood besides his farm. Some of the tin- ants have small independent means, others have some other country occupation. Thus the mason, bricklayer, baker, butcher, blacksmith, dealer, &c., each have a small farm which they cultivate in addition to their ordinary business. Next, as to the laborers' allotments. Kacr. laborer has 3 acres of land, one of which is set apart for hay, a quarter of an acre is devoted to tillage, to potatoes, cabbages, turnips, and gram, and the remainder to pasture. Each laborer keeps a cow, his wife usually manages a small dairy, and the butter she makes every week is collected by a dealer and taken to mar- ket. Sometimes a heifer is reared for sa le, and nearly always they have a pig or two. These laborers pay a rental of about £10 or 1:11 a year, for which they obtain a comfortable, well- built, brick cottage, with cow-house and pi., stye in the rear, and a small garden in front and three acres of land attacned, affording sufficient pasturage for a cow, and pro- viding the laborer and his family with milk and vegetables, besides A certain quantity of butter for sale. The money value of these advantages i. calculated to be, after allowing for rent and other expenses, a clear four to eight shillings a week. It is said that the rents of these small holdings are regularly paid, and that the condi- tion of the tenants and laborers alike a prosperous and contented. It is, "i course, evident that the conditions ,f land tenure on Lord Tollemache's estates have only an indirect bearing on the (1 uestion IIi peasant proprietorship, but it may be fairly argued that if the occupiers of these small hold- ings are able to do so well, they would do still better if the land they held were their own property. The magic of possession is a real thing. It is, indeed, sometimes said that a man does much better to employ his capital in farming another man's land than in expeiulii^ it in the purchase of a farm, but the transition from tenancy to ownership may be effected with- out the payment of a lump sum of money. In Ireland, through the intervention of the State, tenants are invited to become owners by the simple process of paying to the State for a certain number of years a less rent than they are now paying to their landlords. On this side of St. George's Channel it has been suij^estel that local authorities might be empowcrell to facilitate acquisition of small holdings of from one to 150 acres, lending part of the purchase money to buyers on favorable terms. Mr Jeise Collings proposed a bill last session with this object which, however, never was discussed by the House of Commons. The new Parlianift is likely to listen more readily to schemes tJi this kind, which are certain to command the support of a large number of the representatives of the new electorate.

6- OF ALL THE SOCIETIES AND ASSOCIAIION* which hold their annual meetings in the aut-inin months, no one is of more importance thai the Trades Union Congress. This year, indeed, circumstances have combined to give crea" weight and interest to the deliberations 0-1 tho one hundred and sixty delegates of the tiade societies and trade councils of the U nth d Kingdom who during the past week have bD assembled together at Southport. Thetilillikl debates of the Trades Union Congress have late years been listened to with growing respect by politicians and statesmen, and the resoii- tions which have been passed by the asembd delegates have been subsequently develop into more than one important Act of no Imperial Parliament. But the Parliaiiient labor speaks to-day with new authority. :8 members represent trade societies which numb r more than half a million members, and by ther utterances give expression to the wishes anl desires of the workingmen of the Unite 1 Kingdom. But yesterday many of these Illl L had no votes, to-day they are all tnframhist d. What, therefore, the delegates of the Trades Union Congress now ask for may be taken roughly to be the demands of the new electorate, the demands of the men who have the power to obtain what they ask for. To a certain extent this always might have been said of the delllaw:s of the delegat o of the delegates of the Trades Union Congress, rut not to the full extent in which it is n true to-day, thanks to the new Retorm Acts. Trades Union Congress does not indeed profess to deal with party politics its discussions are confined to the questions which have a direc. connection with the life and work of working- men. But with this limitation they 'nmt -u? do enter upon the great political questions* ot the hour. During the present Congress, th delegates have discussed the amendment of th Empl^yers' liability Act, the competoiicy _,1
