THE LIBEL CASE.
THE LIBEL CASE. Wb cannot pretend to he satisfied with the line of action pursued in the libel case, "ROBERTS versus HILL," which has just been argued out before Mr Justice WILLS. We admit that Mr ABEL THOMAS, the counsel for the plaintiff, adopted au unusual couise, and one which would not be likely to secure the commendation of a judge, or to clear the way to a just view of the case, but he had, no doubt, reasons for so doing. As the judge censured him in very strong terms for his treatment of tho defendant, we need not add any words of our own. Colonel HILL is, by the admission of all his fellow- townsmen, a man of high and gentlemanly I character, and not likely to libel anyone through sheer malice or vindictiveness. We agree with the judge that the letter which constituted the libel may have been written without sufficient consideration, but may not as much be said of most libels 1 Few men would care to put themselves within tho reach of the law, however much they might wish to damage a neighbour's character, 'J hf,,ii, agaiii, we feel bound to state that the letter written by CoJonel BILL to the plaintiff's father was exactly the kind of letlt-r which no man can be justified in writing to any father about any sou, Even were the son a downright scaijip, it would be unkind to say go much to a father who might be supposed to be cut up quite sufficiently by his son's conduct without having the wound rudely and violently torn open. Jti this case, however, even the pretext of merit was wanting. The letter was a mistake. The son did not deserve to be so stigmatised. The letter should never have been written and there was nothing raally to justify it. The substantial damages awarded go far to show that even Mr BOWEN ROWLANDS' able vindication and the judge's drastic rebuke did not prevent the jury from seeing the real point at issue. t.
'1CLERICAL COURTESIES.
'1 CLERICAL COURTESIES. WHEN the Establishment falls it will not be because of the bad theology of its ministers, but because of their bad manners. Every denomination ill the country. represents a schism in what was once the National Church, and every schism must have resulted from some one's misconduct. But it !y no means follows that the party seceding were to blame. As it was powerfully put by no less a per- sonage than Archbishop LAUD—" A schism must needs be theirs whose the cause of it is the woe, runs full uut of the mouth of Christ, even against him that gives the offence, not against him that takes it." Yet it is impossible to account for the behaviour of certain clerics, except on the assumption that every secession from the State Church was an act of inex- cusable fully and wickedness. A peculiarly unfortunate instance of this spirit occurred the other day in a locality which need ixot be specified. A Church of England vicar was about to receive a lad who had been baptised at an Independent chapel. Know- ing this, and being perfectly aware that Independents are neither Mahomme- dans, nor Pagans, nor idolaters, nor C, lunatics, the worthy clergyman sat down and addressed a letter to the Independent minister, in which he coolly asked, among other things, whether the right of baptism as administered in his chapel was per- formed with water. As this polished gentleman failed to indicate any other pro- bable medium, it is difficult to surmise what he had in his mind. He can hardly have been prepared to hear that the Independents were baptised, like the Apostles, with tongues of fire. Possibly he meant to suggest that sand r might have been resorted to, or earth, or some equally scientific substitute for water. But this pretended ignorance as to the tenets of the Independents en this subject is uniquely absurd and shameful, as the slightest histo- rical research will demonstrate. It so happens that one of the very points on which that body separated from the Eliza- bethan Church was the rite of baptism. It so happens that the point, and the only point to which they strenuously objected in that rite as administered by the Church was the cross which it was com- pulsory to ¡,ign on the child's forehead. And it also so happens that the present Prayer Book omits that feature altogether from the private baptism of infants, and also declares by implication that it is not essential in any case. This is, in fact, one of the many points which the Established Church has practi- cally confessed that it was wrong, or at least that the Nonconformists were right. It is true that the rubric requirea a clergy- man to make proper inquiry before accept- ing a person as already baptised. In the case of a convert from some Christian sects such a precaution might be permissible, provided the inquiry were con- ducted with decency and courtesy. But to address to a minister of a great denomination which has played a famous part in history a suggestion of the sort referred to is an im. pertinent and unchristian act. .4_
SOUTH WALES NOTES.
SOUTH WALES NOTES. [BY COSMOS. J A WIFE'S HEAD A PLAYGROUND FOR THE POKER. the Newport police-court, more so than our other local halls of justice, is kaleidoscopic of the seamy side of life. Goethe said that" each of us, the best as well as the worst, hides within him something, some feeling, some remembrance, which if it were known would make you hate him." Mr William Henry Evans, shipwrights'labourer, does not apparently take the trouble to hide anything within him. it is the wife, by name Mary Ann, who gets the hiding. There is no concealment about William Henry he does not assume any virtues, and, moreover, does not place any value upon them. He is hated in consequence. When his wife was asked what he was, she promptly replied A brute As he in- variably applies force, it must be admitted that the definition is not infelicitous, though it is somewhat libellous upon the four- footed creation to place upon a level with it a man who damages a house in which his wife had taken refuge by smashing ten panes of glas, breaking the sash, injuring the mantelpiece with a flagstone, and des- troying two vases; and then, as a finale, using his spouse's head as a playground for the poker. The defendant's plea that he knew nothing Hbout it was not accepted by the magistrates. teuch a man would evidently not take cognisance of anything under an earthquake. The husbands at Newport seem to have an affection for the tire-irons as weapons .of marital authority. In the North boots are more favoured, but perhaps the association of fuel accounts for the preference in South Wales of the poker. WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT WATERPROOFS ? WHEN Longfellow composed the lines- Into each life some rain mut fall, Some days lrinst be dark and dreary, he could not have been acquainted with the English climate, or else he would have written luill each life some Run must fall. Some days must be bright and cheery. He certainly would have altered his version had he seen the advertisement of a Cardiff trade-man which is appearing in your columns. It may be the acme of pessimism, but nevertheless it is founded upon com- mon-seujse and experience. It reads thus For the Easter holidays, waterproof coats, waterproof mantles, waterproof legging^ Whilst we are all dreaming of amenable elementM, this son of commerce gently urges us to return to the realms of reality and store up against the rainy day. After all, what would life be without its water- proofs ? The hunting man in an apron which a nurse with a brand new infant would envy defies the downpour; the angler in his stockings laughs a siege to scorn, and miss, gentle miss, trips from shop to shop regardless of the dripping. Moreover, what is a pachydermatous disposition but a waterproof exterior ? The man who allows the storms of existence to flow calmly off him does not consume his vitality with the celerity of the fretful Yes; the tradesman is no pessimist, but a philanthropist when he invites you to become waterproof. A DOG WITH A LIGHT. A GENTLEMAN has found a "terriur dog," and he describes it as "light on breast" lie does not &ay whether it is a port light, a starboard light, a masthead light, or an electric light, but simply light on breast." As he states that the dog will be sold unless claimed in three days (vide advertisement) it is evidently a 6- terrior "-I mean terror —to the household. But where on earth does a dog carry its lights 1 I alwavs imagined neat- the liver. But this canine craft has only one light, which is contrary to the laws of nature, as well as the Board of Trade, unless it be a pilot dog. Then the colour of the light is not stated, and how long it burns without being trimmed, and in the absence of those details I cannot possibly tell whether the animal belongs to me. Possibly in its wan- derings it has appropriated a bicycle lamp, but then it is not stated whether the do" extinguishes it at sunrise. I should like to know, too, whether this breast illuminant is available for pipe ligi)tinct, for that, of course, would add to the value of the "terrier." Maybe the dog is, like Diogenes, possessed of a lantern, and going about looking for an honest man. Should this supposition be correct, the advertiser is acquainted with the dog's opinion of him. However, there will be plenty of people to claim the "terrior if the light is of candle power. THE PATRIOTISM OF MR T. p. PRICE, THE patriotism of Mr T. P. Price, M.P., in consenting to stand again for North Mon- mouthshire is of no ordinary kind, and deserves more than the passing mention which the fact has obtained. Mr T. P. Price is no Achilles who goes and sulks in his tent for some fancied slight or injustice, but is a man who has nobly and valiantly led the forces of local Liberalism to some of itsmostbrilliant victories. Bis demand for rest was perfectly justified, for after having borne the burden and heat of the day it is natural that he should look to younger men to take up the standard which he has carried so stoutly. Possibly his constituents were somewhat inconsiderate in asking him to still continue in their service, for no mem- ber more than Mr Price has done his duty in suoh a thorough manner. But they recognised that his loss at this critical I period would seriously damage the cause which we all have at heart, and Mr Priqe, I seeing the force of this plea, has consented to again head the van. Anyone without prejudice can observe that this is a sacrifice on his part, for the House of Commons offers to him no sphere for personal aggran- disement. Moreover, lie is not the sort of man to slacken his energies as a recompense for his acquiescence, and, therefore we must all readily admit that he has given up to party what was due to himself. Such immolations are so rare that when they do occur they are worthy of emphasis. THE ETHICS OF THE EAR, OSE is rather amused when reading the strictures passed by Justice Wills upon the counsel in the libel case at the Glamorgan- shire Assizes. He protested against the violence of the language used, and the utter want of charitableness displayed. Now I whatever a barrister may be in his private life, he has no code of morality in his public capacity. He will plead against the whole decalogue, and bring witnesses to confirm him, and perjure themselves,for the sake of gold. He does not trouble whether his entire remarks are lies or not so long as his brief is marked with a good figure. He has not the slightest pity for those opposed | to him, and will accuse them, or rather in- timate that they are guilty of the most disgraceful motives in order to snatch the triumph for his side. His intention upon entering the court is not to extract the whole truth, but just as much as will in- fluence the jury. It is true that the world regards this action as not being dishonour- able, but then the ethics of society are not very stringent. It allows an advocate to descend to any depth in order to defend his client, and, as it were gives him a permit to commit any outrage upon virtue during the course of a trial. That a little more latitude than usual should have incensed a judge is distinctly funny. I AM SIR ORACLE." COLONEL HILL is plainly one of those men who is never in doubt, and though this trait is very valuable, nevertheless at times it is extremely apt to carry a man into danger, particularly when to it is added the cacoethes scribendi. The judge very happily summed him up in the phrase, I am Sir Oracle when I open my mouth let no dog bark." However, Colonel Hill can well afford to smile at this descrip- tion, for this propensity has brought him a nice place at Llandaf!, a residence in Somersetshire, and a seat in Parliament, and though it has also brought him 9700 and the costs, the ledger will still be very pleasant reading, and besides he has gained some experience which will be useful to guide his pen in the future. But what proved most damaging to Colonel Hill was a billycock hat and a frock coat, the combination is enough to kill any man's reputation in the eyes of a jury—especially a member of Parliament.

INTERMEDIATE EDUCATION IN WALES. THE APATHY OF LANDOWNERS CONDEMNED. At the monthly delegate meeting held on Mon- day at Ton, in connection with the Rhondda Steam Coal Miners' Association, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to "That this meeting of delegates, representing 20.000 workmen, deeply regrets the indifference, apathy, and non-sympathetic action of a largo number of tho landowners and colliery proprietors of the principality in not responding to the appeal made to them on behalf of the workmen and others for their assistance in establishing intermediate schools in our mining districts. We deem it indispensable to the success of the pro- posed institutions that these gentlemen should subscribe generously before workmen (who are appealed to on all occasions and contribute handsomely} should be asked to do so,"
COKERS' WAGKS AT TREDEGAR.
COKERS' WAGKS AT TREDEGAR. On Saturday last the man employed at the Tredegar Iron Company's coke ovens decided to strike unless some understanding was come to with regard to the way ia which their wag-48 are advanced. Up to the present time they have been governed by the steel works and furnaces— whereas the cokers are of opinion that they shonld be governed by the collieries. A public meeting of the men was held on Monday, after which a deputation waited upon the contractors. The result of the interview is that the men will await the decision of the sliding scale committee as to which department should govern thmir wages. The contractor granted an advance of Id an oven extra for levelling, pendiug the decision of the committee.
STEELWORKBRS AND MEOHANICS.
STEELWORKBRS AND MEOHANICS. It will be remembered that the negotiations between steel work owners and men for the establishment of a conciliation board at large Welsh works have been at a standstill, owing to a misunderstanding between the steelworkers and raoaliiuiiaa to ihp crn{Miction which oltouLl represent each association upon the* boord. A joint representative meeting was held at the Hotel, Blaenavon, on Saturday. Mr Richard Morgan presided, and Mr W. Davies occupied the vice-chair. It was decided that both associations should be equally represented upon the executive committee, and that they should be represented upon the sliding-scale com- mittee by four steelworkers to two artisans. Aa intimation to this effect has been given to the employers, and it is expected that negotiations w'U be at once resumed.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.…
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. I MOM MONDAY S If JlABIt-LANK aXPttKSS".] The weather up to the end of March has already earned for itself a reputation as one of the most favourable seasons ever known during the often stormy and generally rigorous first quarter of the year. The autumn-sowu crops are forward, although got too forward. and the land has latterly been working well for barley sowing, except 1Q comparatively liinifced area, where soil h 'd become too soaked. During the past week the value of Ellglisil wheat has made very little Actual change. There was a slight upward ten- dency in the week, and there has been a slight downward tendency since the mildness of the weather set in on Wednesday. The flour trade is weak, but there are opponents who state that tlipy are discerning a certain improvement likeiy to broaden out into soinothinar appreciable after Easter. The trade in foreign wheat has 1,-On rather dull, but the resistance onsred to decline has been not only stubborn but in the niAiu successful.

ILONDON LETTER.
I LONDON LETTER. tFROM OUR LONDON COEKKSPONDKNT.J SPECIALLY WittEr). LONDON, Monday Night, EXPEDITIOUS LEGISLATION. The House of LClrds has temporarily effaced itself, leaving the House of Commons to wind up the business of the session pre- vious to the Easter holiday., The appear- ance of the House to-night has been such as is dear to the heart of the Financial Secre- tary to the Treasury. Supply has been the order of the day, and when the House is in Committee of Supply the fewer members present the richer is the prospect of getting votes. In some of the papers this morning there appeared an announcement that Mr Smith had retired to Greenlands for the Easter recess, and Mr Gladstone's departure was also announced, Both statements were falsified, the two right hon. gentlemen facing each other on the front benches, and at one time taking advantage of the pleasing drowsiness of the proceedings to exchange a little conversation by the Mace at the end of the table. lor some time Mr Gladstone had fcr sole companion on the Front Oppo- sition Bench Mr Shaw-Lefevre, Mr Siiiith being supported by Mr Goschen and Mr Jackson, the two ministers specially con- cerned in the business of the sitting. IMPRESSIONS OF BERLIN. Whilst other members are setting out for the holiday, Sir John Gorst lias come back much pleased with his experience at Berlin. He is moderately hopeful of the practical good to be derived from the action of the conference, at which he has assisted, As far as appears on the surface, English in" terest in the proceedings has been chiefly confined to an exemplar. The two principal questions discussed were the establishment of a day's rest in the working week, and the limitation of the hours of labour for women and children in factories and workshops. In this country both these conditions happily exist, and the only advantage accru- ing from their probable adoption by con- tinental countries will be the Blight increase in the cost of labour, and therefore the lowering of international competition. The most interesting study Sir John Gorst brings home with him is one of the German Emperor. This shrewd observer finds in his Imperial Majesty a man very much after the type of Lord Randolph Churchill. The two are in truth singularly alike in their hardihood of opinion, their audacity, their entire freedom from influences of veneration, and their resolu- tion to go their own way, overriding all respectable and established influences, whether they be those of Sir Stafford Northcote or Prince Bismarck's. BEHIND THE AGE." On Friday, Mr Jackson, in a sanguine mood, expiessed belief, rather than the conviction, that the Irish Land Purchase Bill would be out of the printer's hands and circulated on the following morning. it is out to-night, just seven days after leave was given. It is certainly bulky, as bills go, running over 60 pages but the whole of the printed matter does not exceed 10 columns of print in a morning news- paper, being a trifle over one-fifth of the amount of matter which, in an ordi- nary newspaper office. is collected, printed. and published between sunset and sunrise. It seems a monstrous thing, speaking rather of the Heptarchy than ot the Victo- rian era, that the printing department of the State is not equal to the task of turning out in less than seven days a bill of the first political magnitude, for which everyone has been waiting. WARRIORS DISCONSOLATE. The volunteer review and sham fight, which is to take place in the neighbourhood of Folkestone next week, is likely to be hampered by considerations of area. Since headquarters were not fixed at Dover, the inhabitants of that town withdrew their promised subscriptions, and there has accordingly been lack of the funds necessary to compensate the farmers and landowners for possible damage to their land and grow- ing crops. The land between Folkestone and H ythe is richly cultivated, being almost garden-land, and the money that has been raised towards the compensation goes but little towards meeting the demand which farmers and landowners make before giving consent to the occupation of their land. The consequence has been that there will be practically no artillery, no cavalry, and the veteran officers of the army in command of the operation are in despair at the prospect before them. A LOST OPPORTUNITY. Count Kawase, Japanese Minister at this Court, has communicated to the Foreign ()ffice the arrangements for the open- ing ot an Industrial Fair in Japan. It seems a pity Lord Salisbury did not take an opportunity of communicating the arrangements through commercial centres in this country. As the exhibition opens at Tokio to-morrow, the news is a little late for all practical purposes. Yet the opportunity was one worth the seizing by British traders, who are scarcely alive. to the splendid opening which Japan offers for the markets of the west. The show at Tokio is principally designed to encourage the home products of Japan, the arts, sciences, the industries, and agriculture being brought to the front. But the enlightened Government of the Mikado had made arrangements by which in every department foreign products of the same class would be exhibited side by side with the Japanese for purposes of compati- son. It will probably be found that the Americans, who are especially alive to busi- ness openings in Japan, have been better informed than the British tradesman and manufacturer, and that they have availed themselves to the full of this exceptional opportunity. The exhibition is to remain open till the 31st of July. The Japanese Government, preparing the way for the opening up of the interior, for which this exhibition is likely to serve, intend to grant passports to all foreign visitors, permitting them to visit any part of the interior.

LOSS OF LIFE IN" MINES. RHONDDA MINERS AND THE RECENT EXPLOSIONS. The following resolution wa" agreed to at the monthly delegate meeting of the Rhondda. Miners' Association held on Monday at the Windsor Hotel, Ton That this meeting deeply regrets the recent explo- sions at Llanerch and Morfa. Collieries, and keenly aympatliises with the families of our ft"Jow-workmenv and, seeing that these explosions are recurring again and again in spite of the apparent efforts of all mechanical skill, we deem it necessary that some scheme simitar to the' Kirkhouse Harbour of Refuge and Lamp Station should be adopted in ort1.. to minimise the loss of life occurring from the after- effects of the explosion. One of tho delegates bit complained of bodies being left in the pit. Collieries were fast becoming graveyards to hundreds of colliers, despite thes ardent desire of relatives to get the bodies of the dead out of the pit.. JJe felt that an act should be passed compelling collieryownors, no matter what the expense might be, to bring out the dead.—Another delegate, while agree'n £ with the former speaker, believed that the authorities at the Morfa Colliery had no alterna- tive but to fl >od the pit.—It was then agreed to refer the matter to the collieries, and to place it on the agenda for discussion at the net meeting. 0

POLITICAL COMMOTION IN WALES.
POLITICAL COMMOTION IN WALES. IT is a good sign of what may be expected at the general election, whenever it may come, when we see the constituencies closing in for the struggle. We &aw Radnorshire the other day make its choica unanimously in the person of Mr FRANK Id WARDS. It is something to know that the army of Liberal warriors is ready for the encounter, and that the man of their own selection is at the gate. To-day we hear that the Pembroke In.roughs have acted with like dispatch. They have also singled out their candidate in the person of Mr EGBRTON ALLEN, and we hope he will at once enter upon his campaign. His political creed is, in many particulars, sound, but they are not too sound to be capable of further development and amendment. His personal devotion toj the Church of England is a matter of his! own, and a matter with which we have! nothing to do. We distinguish between the.! Church and the Establishment, a clistinction, which Mr ALLEN has not, apparently, fully mastered. We wish the Establishment to perish, but the Church to live and thrive for ever. It is its connection with the State and its misappropriation of public money that we object to, and that all Noncon- formists object to. As for the Church in the light ot a religious institution, we only wish it well. Mr EGERTON ALLEN will, no doubt, modify his views very much by the time he has read the history of the Church of England. We suspect that he will find himself in a very small minority in thinking that either England or Wales owes any of its liberties to the Anglican clergy. It ia news indeed, but news which will not be very readily accepted without such references to facts as have never yet appeared. Mr JSAAC SMEDLEY, the able chair- man of the Liberal Association, stated yesterday that the Liberals at Pembroke had a sufficient majority four years ago to return Mr LEWIS MORRIS, and yet they failed. We hope this will act as a warning and an instruction to the party now. Mr LEWIS MORRIS is an able man, a poetic genius of whom his countrymen do well to be proud. But when a Parliamentary contest has to be taken in hand poetic eminence and fame do not tell very much. The man who fights tooth and nail, the man of strong purpose and deeply-rooted determination, will mount the ramparts and take the place by storm, while the man of literary or poetic eminence is left outside. We do not think Parliament is the place for Mr LEWIS MORRIS any more than for TESNYSON. There is precious little poetry in a Blue Book, an Act of Parlia- ment, a Commissioners' Report, or a Budget speech. We hope the newly chosen candi- date will fight hard and win. He cannot too soon gain the best wishes and most cordial attachment of the Liberals of the district. When all the electors know him by sight and are accustomed to his voice, he has won half his battle. > one kuow better than the electors of the Pembroke boroughs themselves what a considerable amount of work has to be done. The political situation there ha3 not always been every- thing that could be desired. But now that a young and an aident politician, thirsting for an opportunity, has appeared upon the scene, the curtain is suddenly lifted up, and what was doubtful and gloomy yesterday is bright and certain to-day. Admiral MAYNE has done well from a Conservative point of view. He has compelled Pembroke to vote Tory on almost every question of importance. The Liberals must therefole re- quite him for his faithful service to the other side by giving him a long holiday. It is surely their turn to go in now and show what they can do. We hope they will make a good start by pledging themselves, not merely to fight, but to win. Those who start full of hope are surest of victory, so long, at least, as they take good care never to slacken their effort. We cannot recommend tall talk, but that confidence which braves all opposition and staves off fainting and despondency, is better than swords and shields. In the Carnarvon Boroughs, which lie out of our district, Mr LLOYD GEORGE is fighting well and is well supported, even by some men of influence who were expected to be on the opposite side. Those Welshmen who are fluent in the vernacular could render him good service. One ABRAHAM has been up there, but there is another ABRAHAM who is ever ready to do yeoman service in the Liberal cause. "MABON" could render powerful assistance between this and the polling day and so could Mr S. T. EVANS and others who carry two languages on the tips of their tongues. Mr WARMINGTON, M.P., has also been there thwarting the I efiorts of Sir J OllN PULESTON and of Mr MARCIIANIT WILLIAMS, who se political opinions seem to depe»d very much on his proximity to a Welsh contest. ]fast Carmarthenshire is still unrepre- sented in Parliament. It' is I cft'&n wiped t of the Division List. H the present sessiun goes ou with it as it ha? begun, there will be no Parliamen- tary history of East Carmarthenshire for historians to put on record, aud no Parlia- mentary deeds aasociate l with it for poets to sing. It will be like a large tract of South Wales blotted out.

The Bishop of Peterborough, addressing a meeting at Peterborough on Monday, denounced the system of child insurance as one of the greatest social evils of the day. The crime* resulting from it were appalling. The parent, who by a sudden and swift stroke destroyed a child, was a paragon of mercy compared with one who could slowly do his or her offspring to dettth watching it daily pine and waste away until its little life of misery was ended by an untimely, but too long delayed, death.

f RAILWAYMEN IMPATIENT'
f RAILWAYMEN IMPATIENT' LBY AN OLD TBADxa UNIONIST.] Next Sunday will mark the liipse ot" lour mont" from the great and convincing demonstration 0.1 railway men, witnessed in Cardiff, aad partic"" pated in by many g«nt!«men of "ligik t and inz," and by nearly 4.000 sons of the iron (oJ. Why did they demonstrate? Wliat w.8 It tbot met together for in such numbers, and at so UlU trouble and outlay ?

The directors are, pareutly, deaf also, for neither 1I/iJ they speak, bear, or heed.

S:mpiy the abolition of till blavery of excestiive overwork, h1 tbQ limitatiøf of each day's ordinary duty to 10 hours and e.404 week to six days, with additional payment overtime and Sunday duty. Swing that ni»| hours make the standard national working dun and that an eight hours' day is seriously di*i cueaed, it is strange and incongruous that rail' way men, of all others, should now be fruitlessit praying for a 10 hours' limitation. The expiau* I tion lies in the patience, bora of discipline, of tlJl men, and in the autocracy of their employers. But even patience has its bounds, and in tW case of the Taff Vale, Rhymney, and Barry rail" waymen tbe stock of that virtuous possession is all but exhausted. After the demonstratif11 of December 8 -h the demands of tbo melt wetf f jrwarded to the board ot each local company b1 the general secretary of tluir Amalgamated Society. Result—Nil. Thereupon, the employs^ met at the Colouial Hall, Cardiff, and opeiiiji appointed deputations from each railway, who«r duty it was to further memorialise the res pectin, boards of directors, and to orally, if necemstkrft pree,.i the clairq,4 set out in the iiatiotial priy gramme. The second edition of memorials 11'1' beeu delivered. The Tuff Vale directors haf held two meetings since, but at neither of thoo did they take the men's application into con' sideration, nor have they intimated to We deputation their intentions or a desire to meet if members. The Rhymnoy Board has been a little more courteous, for that deputatiou has boOO called up to I/ondon, where the hours of dutf, were discussed between man and masters; b<W beyond a previous offer of eleven hours a ti nothing has been conceded. On the Barry liDtn where many other matters rtquirs aojustmeoil there have been conversations with the managlC (Mr Evans), but there, too, nothing, iiothinjl is the sum total nf actual concession. I pari# phrase Timon cf Athens' invocation to tue gow as a chorus for directors to siug o: their IDItD-" these our present friends, as they are to < nothing, so in nothing bless them, and to nothi are they welcome." The two le-r companies are waiting to sO what the Taff Vale will do, whilst the Taff Val' is succesfully waiting to do nothing. This daH iog, this policy of delay, when the intoredts workmeu are itivolveii has been practised tOo often not to be understood. Every day that cow cession is deferied means a protit to the compiknfl inconvenience and loss of health and leisure & the men. I was present on Saturday night, at meeting attended by 300 local railway eervaoti^E and quickly realised that, this time, the policy M delay has exasperated and woru out the use*1* lopg patience of the victimti.

It, by that date, demands contained in the national have not been complied with, the case of the ineo will be placed in the hands of the executive the Amalgamated Society, and the U deck. cleared for action." All offer of arbitration will precede au opeil rupture, but if this is refused then I am convinC^ that tha Talf local men will give iu their Do"iotl!lt and by a strike drop every wheel on the vail«< railways of East Glamorgan. Every impart'4! mind must exonerate tlietn from the clmrgt"'1 hastiness or rashness. Tneir attitude has conciliatory and respectful throughout, wliiij their patieuce has been exemplary. In the 11 of my notes" I predicted that the rail* companies would only yield to actual threatened force what justice and banian'.1/ rteinawrtear Ttvm, pr"ivtmt"n -bit,% been verifi' Granted that the men are thoroughly uuited, companies must, perforce, conceua evary reason*' j ble demand made upon l-hem.

Many IP 1 this clast are also members, but others of tt!»8' are opposed to the society, and don't want shorts' hours—or fear to dernaud them. True, t'1? agitation carried on by the society has benefit^ signalmen in the matter of was and hours, uG ¡ gratitude is not a social, any mare than ic IS Ii political, virtue. But whether they i.Lieirseivof ¡ want fewer working hours or not, the interest utt« safety of tha driver*, firemen, guards, shunters, as well as of tiie jiublie, demand » signalmen shall not' b-3 ovsr-worked. to hope that all the signalman will quickly .tV" themselves of both the society's protection i»n^ the hours movement.

It is well that the ccmpatii#3 j*D'* men of commerce should know this before- haud—the knowledge may ensure peace, which no one desires more than I do. In forecasting the outcome of a conflict, should one ensue, t have in mind the fact that the sympathy of traJei unionists with the railway ileu would makl their position impreguable.
