RADICALS AND REED- POSSIBLE REQUEST TO WITH- DRAW HIS RESIGNATION. Th? Cardiff Radical leaders are almost at their wits' end. In the early stages of the present deadlock the ordinary members of the Thousand were repeatedly cautioned by the leaders against taking any part in the selec- tion of a candidate. "Leave the matter in our hands," they said, "and we will find a strong oandidate, who will unite all sections of the party and retain the seat." And it was freely stated by some of those who have been, and still are determinedly, opposed to any local man being adopted as a candidate that. a Cabinet Minister of high rank would be selected and be found willing to come to the rescue. Mr. Asquith was the chief favourite in this connection, and Mr. John Morley was the next. But both these gentlemen resented the suggestion that they should come to Car- diff as little short of an impertinence, and calculated, when the rumour became public, to damage them in the esteem of their piesent constituents, and they lost no time in disclaiming any overtures from Cardiff. Sir Edward Grey was also approached, but he, again, would have nothing to do with Cardiff. The next to be appealed to was Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice, and he seemed for a time to be on the point. of becoming a candidate, but in the end he decided that, while he might listen to a. unani- mous invitation from the Thousand, he could not allow his name to go forward in competition with other candidates. As things now stand, the only legitimate candidates before the Radical selection committee are Councillor Morgan Morgan and Mr. Morris Roberts-Jones, and Mr. B.ird and the other leaders are in a terrible dilemma. They are afraid to summon another meeting of the Thousand, as it is believed that that body would censure the methods adopted to secure a candidate, and, as things now stand, there is a strong probability that a resolution would be adopted urging Sir Edward Reed to re-consider his decision to resign. This would not suit Mr. Bird, who is chiefly responsible for the present state of affairs. It is stated on excellent authority that Sir Edward, now that the first glamour of the thing has passed off, is not at all anxious to retire from Parliament, and that, if the move- ment which has been started in Cardiff out of the Thousand, but chiefly at the instigation of Di. Edwards, to try and induce Sir Edward to fight the next election, receiver; very large sup- port, the whole matter will be placed before the Prime Minister, and should he promise the hon. member the Government post to which he aspires, should the Liberals be returned to power at the general election, then Sir Edward will lie prepared to accept the invitation. In this case the freedom of Cardiff, which is about to be presented to Sir Edward, would scarcely be appropriate, because, when this distin- guished honour was decided upon, it was under- stood that the hon. member had finally and irrevocably determined to bid farewell to Parlia- mentary iife. Mr. W. D. Bowring, an ex- Lcrd Mayor of Liverpool, who is at present residing at The Heath, has been put in nomina- tion by a few friends for the vacancy, but he has not as yet decided whether he will allow his name to go before the Thousand. It is now g-enerallv accepted by the members of the Thousand that, should the proposed arrange- ment with Sir Edward Reed fall through, Mr. Robert Bird would, if unanimously invited, become the candidate. But it is said that, in the face of Mr. Hobson's candidature, the only hope of Radical unity lies in Sir Edward Reed, and if Mr. Bird can be persuaded to favour a unanimous invitation to the hon. member, there is a growing probability that to end the dilemma Sir Edward will consent, if he has the required promise from the Prime Minister, to champion the Radical cause once more.

RADICAL QUARRELLING. DOES THE SOUTH WALES FEDE- RATION STILL EXIST. One of our representatives on Friday waited upon Mr. D. A. Thomas, M.P.. with the object of ascertaining his opinions on the Aberystwith Convention. Mr. Thomas was not disposed to be interviewed on the sub- ject, but he admittd that be looked upon the whole proceedings at Aberystwith at farcical. He, however, would be sorry to say anything that would hurt the feelings of the gentlemen who appeared to be in such deadly earnest. Asked whether the South Wales Liberal Federation still existed, he said he thought it was very much alive indeed. At the same time, he hardly liked to set his opinion on such a subject against that of Mr. Gee. of Denbigh. IGNORING THE OPPOSITION. THE REV. TOWYN JONES AND MR. R. N. HALL. The Aberystwith Convention ignored the South Wales Liberal Federation on Thursday, and on Friday the officials of the federation took a turn at the ignoring business by pawing over those opposed to their policy. With refe- rence to the official statement which appeared in our Cardiff contemporary on Friday from the officials of the federation, accompanied by a number of replies from local secretaries, all unfavourable to the holding of the South Wales Federation meeting at Aberyst-with, the Rev. Towyn Jones remarked to one of our representatives that the Amman Valley Liberal Association had sent up a strongly- worded reply urging that the meeting should be held as arranged, but that reply had been entirely ignored by Mr. Hall. "This," Mr. Jones remarked, 18 most unfair."

ORCHESTRAL MUSIC. ANNUAL DINNER JOF THE CAR- DIFF SOCIETY. The members of the Cardiff Orchestral Society held their annual dinner at the Lesser Park-hall, Cardiff, on Friday evening, under the presidency of his worship the mayor (Alderman P. W. Carey). Dr E. H. Turpin was present as the gvest of the society, and prominent among the company were:—Mr. J. E. Deacon (hon. con- ductor) and Mrs. Deacon, Mr. W. A. Morgan (hon. secretary) and Mrs. W. A. Morgan, Mr. C Penn and Madame Williams-Penn, Mr. E. Barrv, Dr. Treasure, Mr. J. Sullivan, Mr. L. Strina, Miss F. E- Deacon, and Mr. W. The Chairman, in the course of a felicitous speech, submitted "The Society," with which he coupled the name of the energetic secretary, Mr. W. A. Morgan. The proposer stated that the society had been in existence fourteen years, and during that time had given 45 con- certs. It had played an important part in fostering musical talent in the Principality, and many members of the society had migrated to London, where they had attained distinction. (Applause.) Proceeding, the Mayor said he was of opinion that a society of that kind should receive a subsidy from the corporation, for the townspeople did not ex- tend to it the large measure of support it deserved. (Applause.) Mr. W. A. Morgan, who upon rising was received with great cordiality, said he could lay olaim to being a parent of the society, inasmuch as he had had the privilege some fourteen years ago of calling the instrumentalists of the town together for the purpose of organising the body —(applause)—and it gave him intense delight to look back upon the progress made by the society during the last fourteen years of its existence. (Hear, hear.) There were only a few of the original members who remained, and those there that evening could bear testimony to the hard struggle that was experienced in establishing instrumental music on a proper footing in the town. The old ship "C. O. S." had just completed another voyage, and there was every reason to be proud of her noble crew. (Applause.) Mr. Morgan referred with plea- sure to the compliments which had been paid to the society by the late Sir Geo. Maofarren, Sir Alexander Mackenzie, Signor Randegger, Mr. Wm. Shakespeare, Mr. Joseph Bennett, and others, and, in conclusion. sa.id that, al- though the secretarial duties were very exacting and heavy, whatever he had done for the society had been done with a willing heart. (Applause.) Mr. J. E. Deacon, in the oourse of a happy speech, proposed the health of Dr. E. H. Turpin, and spoke in eloquent terms of the. eminent serviecs rendered by him to music. The toast was rceived with enthusiasm. Dr. Turpin, in responding, said he had the tenderest recollections of Cardiff, and had DR. TURPIN. ?- formed very valued friendships there. He knew som<#thing of their society—their excellent secretary kept him informed of what was going on—(applause)—and he congratulated them upon the success that had followed their efforts. The society was admirably built up, not only as regarded its musical arrangements, but also with regard to its management. (Applause.) On that occasion they met to advance, as far as they could, the cause of orchestral music. It was a great cause. (Applause.) Their society had already done a great deal in this part of the country to advance that cause. Their constitution was admirable; their orches- tra was admirably balanced, and their choice of musio had always struck him as being excel- lent and most valuable as a means of education to music lovers in this town. (Applause.) The mixture of classical and modern music had been remarkable and judicious. He was con- vinced that orchestral music now must not lie confined to any given period or any given school, and they had evinced a remarkable amount of wisdom in their choice of music. (Hear, hear.) The influence of the society did not stop with Wales. They ought to know, and they must know, that they were exercising a wide national influence. (Hear, hear.) The example they set in this town was almost unique. There was no town with so small a pouulation that could support Ian orchestra such as they supported. (Applause.) They ought to be proud that they were leading the way lu this artistic fashion. (Hear, hear.) It was the orchestra which made a musical i nation. (Applause.) Vocal music was the most sympathetic and divine, but progress in musical art rested, to a very great extent, upon the orchestra. (Applause.) On the proposition of Mr. E. Barry, the health of Mr. J- E, Deacon, conductor of th-. society, was drunk with enthusiasm, ae also was the health of the mayor, which was sub- mitted by Dr. Treasure. Other toasts fol- lowed. During the evening an admirable musical programme was gone through, the following artistes according their services: -Madame Williams-Penn, Miss Gertie Drinkwater, and Mr. R. W. Evans (vocalists), Mrs. Angle (pianoforte), Mr. Arthur Angle (violin), Mr. T. J. Coughlin (clarionet), Mr. W. Joety and Mr. P. Angle (violincello), Mr. R. Draper (bassoon). Mr. W. H. Lane (euphonium), and Mr. James Livsey (cornet). Madame Williams- Penn received a well-deserved encore for her powerful rendering of "1'he Heavenly Song" (Lane).

WATER MAIX BURST. MAYOR CAREY REPLIES TO ENGINEER WILLIAMS. One of our representatives on Friday even- ing interviewed the mayor (Alderman P. W. Carey) with reference to the proceedings at the waterworks committee in the morning, and called his attention to the explanation made by Mr. J. A. B. Williams and the comments passed on his (the mayor's) observations. Alderman Carey said he had intended being at the meeting of the committee, but was obliged to leave town for Newport on a matter of busi- ness. He would, however, take an early oppor- tunity of dealing with the remarks made by Mr. Williams. "I will not withdraw one single word I said at the committee," continued the Mayor. "I think there is great censure attached to the waterworks department with reference to this matter, and in this view 4.- "-em borne. 01tlt by the press, which reflects the opinion of the people, and by letters I have received. Intimation ought to have been given to householders of the burst- ing of the main, and this could easily have been done if Mr. McKenzie. the head-constable, had been requested to instruct the police-con- stables on duty in the neighbourhood affected to do so. Mr. McKenzie has always shown a readi- ness and willingness to work in with all tin departments of the corporation, and would have done so on this occasion if he had been asked. Intimation' ought to have been given in any case, even if people had had to be engaged specially for the purpose. There was real danger, and it is not for Mr. Williams to say there was not. A serious explosion might have occurred, and there might have been. serious loss of life."

CARDIFF AMUSEMENTS. "JOHN-A-MEAMS" AT THE THEATRE ROYAL. As already announced, next week will wit- ness the production at the Cardiff Theatre Royal of one of the most remarkable of modern plays. In "John-a-Dreams" Mr. Haddon Chambers has touched high-water mark of bold treatment of the vexed question of the relation of the sexes, and the story, which is unfolded in three powerful acts, is one of the most striking and startling which has been presented upon the modern English stage. The company who are responsible for the representation of "John-a-Dreams" include Mr. E. H. Vanderfelt, Mr. Frank Adair, Mr. F. W. Perm a in, Mr. Arthur Gi'enville, Mr. J. Riley, Mr. Richard Cruik- shanks, Mr. Sydney Gorton, Mr. George Warde, Miss Mena Le-Bert, Mrs. George Owen, and Miss Ada Ferrar. "KING KODAK" AT THE GRAND. A very important engagement is that which g-q 11 Mr. Clarence Sounes has made for next week at the Grand Theatre. The production of "King Kodak" will be on a scale not often Witnessed in the provinces, whilst the com- pany—which will number over 50-is believed to be almost unrivalled in the high reputa- tion of the principals and the quality of the chorus. The business managers responsible for "King Kodak" are Mr. F. Moir Bussy and Mr. J. R. Rogers, and nothing that ex- perience and money can suggest has been left to ensure an adequate, artistic, and per- feet representation of what is described as one of the most bright and sparkling of modern comedy burlesques. .?.-

LOCAL WINDING-UP NOTICES. Th* "London Gazette" of Friday night states ;—At an extraordinary general meeting of members of the Wales and West of England Girder Company (Limited), recently held at Quay-street, Cardiff, it was resolved and con- firmed that the company be wound up volun- tarily.

———— Our Sunday Schools. ISTHEIRINFLUENCE ON THE '7 ,v ANE1 Rev. John Morris Answers the Query and Tells of the Work They Are Doing. "Is life worth living?" was seriously askedf and discussed a few years ago. And in the inte- rest of truth and for the information of your readers you are asking seriously, "Is the Sunday School on the wane?" That is. is it on the, wane in our own country especially? Evidently, I must have been asleep. It is one of the last Questions which could occur to me I am aware that the "Time-spirit" threatens our hoary traditions, customs, and ancient institutions. Bwt I also thought that the Sunday School was a favourite child of thi." spirit, and was destined to be a most powerful factor in britig- ing in '.he Millennium. But if there is any doubt on the question, how will you bring it to the test ? It is not an easy matter to investi- gate all our registers, aed their figures are not very trustworthy, owing to very irregular atten- dance. Your basis of calculation, I suppose, would be the average attendance, rather than the enrolled list of names. And yet, it would not be fair to leave out altogether the large marsrin of casual attendants. I have no doubt the Pessimist will have something to say about the spent force of the Sunday School; and from his standpoint he may be able to present un- welcome facts, and point out certain disintegrat- ing forces and weakening tendencies which are always at work, but especially powerful in the present day. But, on the other hand, no observer of the Christian enterprises of the day will fail to admit that the effective work which is going on among the young, in various ways, is one of the most pleasing and hopeful features of the social life of our time. The elementary schools, the Bands of Hope, the Boys' Brigade, and the Christian Endeavour are all on a line in this respect. And it is also a fact that when you have men and women of earnestness and tact to be their guides and teachers children will respond and attend to the teaching which is set before them. If you are soliciting the opinions of many on this question, you will, probably, find that on this subject, like most others, men will disagree. No one can see or declare the whole truth, and the experience of some, on which they will, more or less, base their opinion, will bring you an adverse verdict. And at no period and in no locality can we be quite clear of the eages, whose golden age is always in the past. That is a foregone conclusion, and the facta'have no voice in settling the question. except as docile and useful corroboratives. But, happily, there are plenty of men whose dis- positions are not allowed to interfere very largely with questions submitted to Mieir iudgment. One of the most undeniable proofs of the vitality of this institution is the un- wavering faith of its supporters. The strength and victorious force of an institution are not to be gauged by the verdict of outside critics, but bv the inspiration and conscious vigour of its promoters. All will agree that its past success has been phenomenal. Its "nraise" has been "in all the churches." Like other secular and religious institutions it will have to adapt its methods to meet the requirements of a new era. And I have. not the least doubt that in the majority of cases the reluctance to adopt approved methods militates against its success. (heat as its suooess is it might be much greater. But that the Sunday School fairly thrives, even 011 obsolete methods, is all evidence, not of weakness, but of strength. And in a state of transition, there are some earnest souls who cry "down-grade" and label everything new with opprobrious epithets. It is seen by every- one to-day that the teacher must have a fair share of information as well a.s an aptitude to teach. It is not always an easy matter to got ONO who are fairly well-educated to devote dob srifts and time to instruct others. But evot to Apostolic times there was a cry, "Where are the wise?" There never was such an effort made by the press as there is at present to bring withia the reach of teachers excellent "helps." The iournals and magazines which are devoted to this work are a legion, which testify to the large demand for them. The excellent primers which are published in Scotland and England for the use of guilds and Sunday Schools are most encouraging signs of the times. And in this respect Wales is not behind. The preparatory classes and annual examinations have established themselves in most plaoes. And in the Principality the. adult classes pre- dominate as usual, and I have not seen or heard a hint about waning interest. I have neither time nor taste to hunt up figures, even if they couid be found. The V* hit-Monday demonstrations show no falling off, nor the attendance at the Sunday Schools with which I am acquainted; and the prolific, precious, and wholesome literature which is provided for this work is all that can he desired. And the enthusiasm with which work among the youn* in other directions is taken up is uot likely to weaken the Sunday S"hools. Other societies trrow around it in holy alliance, and will supple- ment its work and carry it on towards its intermediate stage, and introduce our youth into spiritual fellowship in the Church, It doaf not stand aloJóe in its dealing with the youth, of our Churches as it once did, nor has it as yafc been overshadowed by any. I shall be anxious to know how your questitM. could originate in the mind of anyone well acquainted with the work in this country. It i" iust possible that. those who put their trusfc in sacramental grace rather than in the power of Biblical teaching may lose faith in the Sun- day School, and when its work is done only in half-hearted fashion it will noon come to the "wane. It is also possible for those who mostly resort to the one catechism to grow weary of a routine work, and lose faith some- what in the modus operandi of the Sunday School.
