PUBLICANS AND PHARISEES. I Mr Acland's amendment to the first clause of the Local Taxation Bill was rejected on Friday last. It is to be hoped that the remain- ing clauses may be disposed of with less waste of time. The only practical result of the debate has been to show the chameleon character of Mr Gladstone and the other leaders of the Liberal Paity. The elasticity of their views upon the compensation clauses is marvellous, and fully bears out the remarks made by Professor Tyndall, that whatever Mr Gladstone utters is adopted and repeated by the Liberal Press and Party with the unfail- ing accuracy of a phonograph. When it suited his purpose Mr Gladstone told us in speaking of publicans, that "considering the legislative, title thetj had acquired, and the recognition of their position in the proceedings uf the House Jor (t long series of gears, they ought not to be placed at a disadvantage on I account of the particular impression we may entertain in relation to the mischief connected with the present licensing system." Again in 1SS0 Mr Gladstone said that "We ought not to allow our prejudices with regard to this particular trade to cause us to deviate by a hair's breadth from the principle that Parlia- ment has always acted upon, namely, that when a vested interest has been created, the question of compensation should be considered when such vested interests are proposed to be dealt with by Parliament." The oracle hav- ing spoken, it is not surprising that his followers, not only endorsed the principle, but went further and enlarged upon it. Sir William Harcourt declared that Some people wanted to meddle with the rights of the owners of public houses, and unless we set our faces against the whole system, liberty itself would suffer." Mr Morley went further, and wrote that lie should strongly oppose any legislation which should overlook the fact, that immense capital has been embarked in the trade, in the ordinary expectation that the trade would not be interfered with." Compensation for dis- turbance was the avowed principle of the Liberal Party ten years ago, how do they justify their sudden change of front ? A Conservative Government in 1890 brings in a Bill that embodies, in a mild form, the very principles so strongly advocated by Mr Gladstone, Mr Morley, and Sir Win. Harcourt in 1880; we naturally expected these gentle- men to prove their consistency by helping to pass the Bill into law, but they are in deadly hostility to it. Sir Will. Harcourt is no longer prepared to stand up for liberty; and Mr Gladstone is prepared to deviate widely from his principles when the opportunity presents itself for hampering or obstructing his political opponents. Mr Gladstone professes himself satisfied with the present law of licensing, but com- plains that it has been administered with too lavish a hand. May be that it has. Magistrates like other persons have individual views, and there are not wanting some who extend the principles of free trade into the business of the publican, with the I eSlllt that licensed houses have multiplied in localities where they are not perhaps absolutely required. It is the fault of the law that it did not limit the discretionary power of the licensing authority, yet when it is proposed to improve that law by prohibiting the issue of new licenses, Mr Gladstone is prominent in opposition. Mr Gladstone is anxious to throw the onus of the suppression (without compensation) of public houses upon the County Councils, fondly imagining that they would at once enter upon the task—would they ? We have a higher opinion of our Council members and ot their sense of justice than he has, we do not believe that they would compass the ruin of any particular class of the community. There is, however, another factor that would reflect with peculiar strength upon the members of the Councils the liquor interest is a powerful force, and embraces many interests outside its immediate circle, these would all have to be taken into account at the triennial election, and might well cause the heart of the stoutest candidate to quail. If injustice is con- ternplated to their body, the liquor interest properly organised and set in motion will im- peril many a seat. Theoretically the Councils ought to be the licensing authority, and no I doubt in time will be, but that they, an elected body, will exercise their powers, when the time comes, in a more stringent manner than the magistrates, is extremely doubtful. It was always open to the interested public to oppose the granting of licenses, and if they did not avail themselves of their opportunities they have themselves to blame. At the present moment Bung and his fortunes arc the sport of political parties, and form a convenient field of battle, but putting aside political exigencies it is impossible to argue with any sense of justice, that it is right to withdraw a license, and to ruin a well conducted publican, who has invested capital in his business on the strength of Mr Gladstone's assurance that he had a vested interest in his trade, and should be compensated if disturbed, having acquired a legislative title; or of Sir Wm. Harcourt's declaration that to interfere with the publicans rights would be to interfere with liberty. There are, however, a vast number of publicans who have invested little or no capital, who derive a very precarious income from their business, and whose interest could be acquired at small cost. Under the provisions of the present Bill, the Councils might do much to lessen the number of these houses, and if such action proved beneficial it should not be beyond the power of our legislators to devise an equitable plan for further reduction. The opposition to the tentative scheme of the Government savours too much of intolerance and oppressiveness. tA

The Queen has presented Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild with a bust of herself by Mr Boehm in remembrance of her visit to Waddesdon in May. Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein, the second son of Prince and Princess Christian, has arrived at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor, from Germany, on a visit to his parents. His Highness, who is an officer in the 23rd (Hessian) Dragoons, will return, after three weeks' stay in England, to Darmstadt, where his regiment is quartered. When the German Emperor visited the Queen last yeor, great inconvience was experienced on ac- count of the want of a State banqueting hall at Osborne House. Her Majesty has now deter- mined to build one of magnificent proportions, the foundation of which will be laid upon the lawn, on the west side of the house, forming almost a quadrangle of the space in front of the Queen's private entrance. The operations now being commenced will not interfere with the usual visit of the Queen to the Isle of Wight at the latter end of July. The Press Association states that the Duchess of Fife, Princess Louise of \A ales, was delivered of a still-born male child on Monday evening at Slieen House, Richmond, Surrey, the country residence of the Duke of Fife. The condition of her Royal Highness was on Tuesday evening reported to be fairly satisfactory. The Princess of Wales, who went to Ascot on Monday after- noon, is expected at Sheen House to visit her daughter. Viscountess Emlyn recently gave a very pretty ball in Hereford-gardens. The house was handsomely draped with curtains festooned in gracefi 1 folds, whilst hanging baskets of flowers in all the looms, as well as the floral profusion which covered the mantelpieces, made the whole mis<tn-»:ene very striking. The BIIR Hungarian Band was in attendance. A very large and fashionable throng was present, including the Marchioness of Downshire and Lady Olivia Taylour, the Countess of Longford and Lady Katharine Pakenham, Lady Louisa Egercon and Miss Egerton, Mr and Lady Harriet Cavendish and Lady Ada Osb me, Lady Helen and Miss Macgregor and Lady Helen Srewait- Murray, Lady Jane Taylor and Miss Taylor, Lady Theresa and Miss Boyle, Lady Louisa and Miss Fielding, Lady Catherine Yane and Lady Lousia Cecil, Lady Penrhyn and the lion. Miss Pennant, Countess of Galloway and Miss Hilda Stewart, Countess of Macclesfield and the Ladies Parker (-), Lady Mackenzie and Miss Muriel Mackenzie, Countess of Lindsey and Lady Mary Bertie, Lady Constance Howard, Earl of Cawdor, Lady Muriel Boyle, Mrs Macgregor and Miss Macgregor, the Hon. Mrs Augustus and Miss Calthorpe, Mrs George Finch and Miss Sybil Fliiel-L, Ilrs Casberd-Botelcr and Miss Inez Casberd-Boteler, and Mrs and Miss Langley. Miss Mary Anderson, the well-know American actress, was married at St. Mary's Catholic Chapel, Hampstead, on Tuesday, to Mr Antonio-de- Novarra. The ceremony was a very quiet one. Mr Charles Webley Hope, son of the late Admiral Hope, who lias recently returned from India, was presented at the Levee, on Monday last, at St. James' Palace, by the Secretary of State. A marriage has been arranged between Marguerite, daughter of the late Sir Andrew Agnew Bart., and Lady Louisa Agnew, and Mr Dudley Drummond, of lortiselitfe, Ferryside.

DEATH OF MR T. MOSTYN DAVIES, J.P., CARMARTHEN We regret to have to announce the death of Mr Thomas Mostyn Davies, of this town, who died of Bright's disease, at his residence in Spilman- street, on Monday last, in his 73rd year. Mr Davies had been ailing for some considerable time, and was thus unable to take part in any public business. His last appearance was Oil the occa- sion of the appointment of the present Recorder of Carmarthen (Mr Arthur Lewis). On returning to his house on that day he complained of feeling unwell, and never again did he leave his house. The deceased gentleman was a native of Carmar- then, and the son of the late Mr David Davies (of the tirm of Davies and Son, bootmakers, King- street), which business the deceased also carried on for some tiiiie. Giving up this business, he betook himself, with considerable success, to that of an auctioneer and timber merchant. Having amassed a considerable income, he retired from business, but identified himself very actively with public life in the borough. He filled the office of Guardian of the poor for some time, and he was one of the founders and supporters of the Literary Institute. He was chiefly instrumental in establishing a Volunteer Corps at Carmar- then, of which he was a member for a number of years. He was a member when the corps attended the Gloucester Review, in 18(50, when it was specially complimented for its general appearance and efficiency. Being elected a member of the Town Council, he spared no efforts to improve the general and sanitary condition of his native town, and he continued one of the most active and valuable members up to his death. His first election took place in 18G3, when he was returned for the Western Ward, which he continued to represent uninterruptedly until 1872. In that year he unsuccessfully wooed the suiHage of his old constituents, but was soon adopted by the Eastern Ward, which he faithfully represented up to the date of his death. He twice filled the civic chair, the first occasion being in 187<i, and the last in 1885. He was the first to agitate in favour of having the streets of the town asphalted and planted with tree,, and after considerable opposition he succeeded. Not only did he identify himself so closely with town improvements, but he took a keen interest in the educational interests of his town and as vice- chairman of the School Board he rendered his fellow townsmen signal service, which will long be remembered. Everything calculated to im- prove the town of Carmarthen in any direction met with the ardent support of the deceased gentleman, and his loss will be keenly felt by all his late colleagues. The funeral, which NN-as ;t military one, took place to-day (Friday), and was very largely attended by members of the Corpora- tion, and of other public bodies and the general townsmen. His mortal remains were assigned to their last resting place in the midst of universal signs of deep sorrow and regret in the ceiretery. The deceased was never married.
