WELSH-SPEAKING OFFICIALS.
WELSH-SPEAKING OFFICIALS. The letters that we publish to-day on this subject only form another proof of the unani- mity of feeling among Welshmen of all classes and of all creeds on the necessity that exists for Welsh-speaking officials. We referred last week to the significant fact that Conservatives of the type of Sir John Puleston and Sir John Llewelyn were at one with the most ardent Welsh Nationalists on this question. We are sorry that Dean Yaughan has been the only Church dignitary who has given an opinion on the subject, though it is but fair to state that Archdeacon Griffiths has written to express his concurrence with what has been said. We can not, of course, pretend to have asked the opinion of all the prominent Church Welsh- men, but we confess that we are disappointed that none of the younger dignitaries, who have been raised to the highest positions in the Church mainly on account of their knowledge of Welsh, have joined in protesting against an act of grave injustice to their poorer fellow- countrymen. On the whole, however, we are well satisfied with the results of our crusade against a real grievance. The letters this week are representative of the character of the many letters we have received before on the subject. It is probable that on no former occa- sion-in recent times, at least—has there been such an unanimity of opinion among represen- tative Welshmen. The Radical labour magis- trate of the Rhondda, Mr. T. P. Jenkins and the Tory chief magistrate of the City of London, Alderman Evans the siurdy Welsh- man, Michael Jones y Bala-the founder of the Welsh colony in South America and the cosmopolitan Welshman, Major Jones, for many years a, subject of the great American Republic, and destined soon, we hope, to be a Welsh Nationalist member at St. Stephens all are agreed on the folly of appointing monoglot Englishmen to public offices in the Welsh- speaking parts of Wales. We have succeeded in drawing expressions of opinion more or less hostile to such appointments from Mr. Glad- stone and Mr. Chamberlain and we have, besides, received many letters to the same effect from several prominent English politicians, and two very interesting letters, which, we regret, we are not at liberty to publish, from members of Mr. Gladstone's last Cabinet. It was left to the Tlilies-ever hostile to the most reasonable demands of Wales—to publish a gross libel on the character of the Welsh bar. According to an anonymous correspondent- whose letter may be seen in another column- no member of the Welsh bar, who is acquainted with the Welsh language, is of sufficient legal standing and attainments to merit promotion to a County-court judgeship. It has not been our intention to advocate the claims of any one man, though we could mention several members of the Bar whose claims havo been unjustifiably overlooked. We will only say that no one who is in the slightest degree acquainted with the South and North Wales Bar can fail to point to many whose legal attainments are at least; as great as those of Mr. Beresford, and whose knowledge of Welsh is vastly superior. It seems partly certain that the trausference of Mr. Beresford to an English County-court judgeship will be effected at the first oppor- tunity, and that the Welsh members will succeed in making such appointments impossible iu future. We would like, however, before leaving this subtect, to point out that the Government will have other public appoint- ments to make in Wales before the close of the year, which will be equally important. Son^ of the Welsh Inspectors of Schools have decided to retire, and the posts that they vacate will have to be filled up. It is very likely that there will be some monoglot Englishmen on the list of applicants for these posts, but we fer- vently hope that it is by this time impossible that any such should be appointed. We arc glad to see that some of the School Boards are moving to get teachers of experience appointed, and not inexperienced youths whose only recommendation is a degree which was gained by cramming," and a fortunate acquaintance at headquarters. We hope that the example of these Boards will be universally followed, and that the capable men, whom long years of patient toil and experience have fitted for th office, will be promoted to the inspectorate.
LOCAL NOTES.
LOCAL NOTES. In every seaport provision has been made for the burial of sailors. At Barry several instances have already occurred of sailors dying whilst their sh:p is in dock. We understand that in some cases the ship has sailed and left the sailor to be buried by the parish. This is a double hardship on the parish. First of all the sailor is buried in a cemetery, which has been purchased and laid out by the inhabitants of this district, for le?3 fees than one of the inhabitants would be charged, and the parish in which he dies has to pay these fees and also to pay the cost of his funeral, We understand that at Penarth the police insist 011 the owners of the ship in which any sailor dies paying for his burial. If this is so, it is very de- sirable that the same course should be adopted at Barry, not only for the economical reasons given above, but also in order that a sailor at the end of his hard life may at Jea:;t be saved the disgrace of a pauper funeral. Some weeks ago we gave an account of the opening of the Home of Rest for railway men at Barry. This is the only one in Wales. There is one Home of Rest in England, situate at Hastings. The object of the institution is to receive railway servants when in bad health for instance, after they leave the Cardiff Infirmary, and are in need of three or four weeks of rest and nursing to recover full strength. As a class, railwaymen are hard workers and not overpaid; some of the work, such as that of signalmen, being very try- ing, and combining long hours ad great responsi- bility. The men themselves heartily support these institutions, and there is a special claim on railway directors and shareholders in railway companies to see that the necessary money is forthcoming. It is intended in time to build a permanent home of rest somewhere on the top of the hill at Barry, but in the mean time very suit- able premises have been obtained at High-street, Barry.
IN AND AROUND BABTTY.
IN AND AROUND BABTTY. Ossian Davies' lecture last Friday was a pro- nounced success. It was his first visit to this neighbourhood, but I feel sure it won't be his last, if Barry people will have their way. His lecture simply enthralled every one, and many, like Canon Allen, though duty called them away, failed utterly to break the spell that the lecturer's eloquence cast on them, an 1 waited till the end. Nor were they without reward, for the concluding sentences of the lecturer formed about the most noble peroration it has ever fallen to my lot to listen to. Very happy, too, were his by-the-way remarks and his jokes, which were many and peculiar. That ot Dr. Moffatt's adventure with the giraffe hide was distinctly good. The great missionary was once so overcome by hunger that he had to gnaw the hide of a giraffe, and so tired were his jaws after the process that he couldn't speak for two hours after. Ossian recommended Major Jones to inform the House of Commons, when he got there," of this speedy cure to the loquacity of the talking assembly. Very rich, too, was his story of ihe stout enthusiast. Dr. Moffat^ he said, was once lecturing on missionary work, and his simple eloquence touched all. Especially was this the case with one young lady of 14 or 15 stones, who suddenly shouted out. I'll give you all my fat." Moffatt went on slightly disconcerted, but a little after the young lady shouted out again, I'll give you all my bones." The younger portion began to giggle, and Moffat 9 11 began to think she was offering herself to the cannibals—and she would last them a good while. After the lecture, however, he found out that fh 0
