Closely connected as [ have been from my advent to public life with my native town, and especially with the Town Ward, in which I reside, I am most solicitous for its prosperity, and no effort shall be wanting upon my part to promote its general interests. The present immense powers of the County Council I consider have not been directed as they should have been for the benefit of the masses, whose condition deserves more consideration and attention than have hitherto been bestowed upon them. Whilst I greatly desire and would advocate more extended pov.cis of Local Government, I would endeavour to secure for the toilers of our valleys, upon whom the material prosperity of our districts so largely depends, those boons which they are at present entitled to, and others which may be granted them. The expiring Council has been distinguished for its unbounded extravagance, and such policy, if pursued in the future, will meet with my most active and vigorous opposition. U nnecessary posts have been created with api>ointments for highly-paid, but use- less officials, and iu this and other ways our ccunty expenditure has beeu euormously increased, a ad our local burdens mads very oppressive. Efficiency auu economy abu'jJd m irk our county adtniuistratioii, aud il, shall be my aim. if elected, to striv e for a more Mtisfactoiy state of thing1 than at present exists. Your iutcrests and my own are ideutical, and t pro- mise if vour cuutiduncc is reposed in me to ment it by untlaggiug attention "to the affairs of our county, par- ticularly having in view the many and growing requirements of our important district, I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, JOHN WM.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. Ove ot the greatest literary needs of Wales is h olieap and popular edition of the Mabiuogion. It is well nigh sixty years since Lady Charlotte Sehreibev, then Lady Charlotte Guest, brought out the fust number of her magnificent edition of the ancient NI-eisi, classics. loan Tegid was then an Oxford cm Ate, aud lie copied the text from the Red Book of Hergest in the Bodleian. His copy tell into the hands of Mr. Justice Bosanquet, a ripe ami crutlile scholar, who forwarded it to Ladv Charlotte to Dowlais. Lady Charlotte had lived iu Wales for about six yeazs, and that she was able to render the old Welsh text into such exqui- site English will ever remain ns one of the literary marvels of the age. Her publisher was William Rees, of Llandovery, whose press turned out son; of the most beautiful volumes ever seen in this country. Lady Charlotte's first edition contained both the Welsh text and the English translation. Many years afterwards she published, through (^aaritch, a one-volume edition containing only the English version, the introductions, and the notes. Some liftcen years ago Mr. Isaac Foulkes (Llyfrbryf), the well-known Liverpool publisher, brought out an edition with the old Welsh text, and a rendering into modern Welsh and recently, the Clarendou'Press gave to the world a magnifi- cent reproduction of the Welsh text. This last is the form most suitable for scholars and students. For English readers Lady Charlotte's editions are the only available ones. The original edition is rare and expensive, and the one volume edition costs about ISs. For Welsh readers Llyfrbryf"s edition, which co-Is 17s., is the only one to be had. What is wanted is an edition which may be used by the masses of readers in the Principality. Each Mabinogi should be issued in a single number, both in Welsh and English, with a brief introduction, and a few explanatory notes. The price, of course, would have to be a popular one, else the enter- prise would not pay. Here is a chance for a Welsh publisher, not only to bring in the shekels to his own coffers, but also to do a very good service to his fellow-countrymen. The great majority of Welshmen know little of the Mabiuogiou beyond the name. We cannot blame them for their ignorance, for how are they to read books which arc inaccessible to them ?

FonwAni>' declines to give his programme of local reforms, and we arc as much in the dark as ever as to how the Tory Pnrty arc going to prove themselves the friends of the working classcs. Possibly the Tory programme consists only of one item opposition to all Liberal reforms. it, imperial politics^ Forwards platform contains at least three planks lie defends the House of Lords, the Church Establishment, and the Drink Traffic. That gives up an idea as to the true inwardness of his political way of thinking. At last he has launched out the terrible statistics which he has kept in reserve for Wille ii ecks. iii, I which are to demolish all his opponents. He takes tho decade from 188*2 to 1893, and shows that commerce flourished more abundantly under Tories than under Liberals. This is a aamc which two can play at. Wc take another decade, aud see what the figurcs have to tell us. In 1871 the Tories went, into power uuder Lord Beacousticld, and retained office till 1880, v.hen Mr. Gladstone secured n. majority. The total imports and exports for those rear are as follows £ 1374 667,753,165 1875 655,551,900 1876 631,931,305 1877 646,765,702 187S 614,264,600 1879 611,775,239 1880 697,634,031 1881 694.105,264 1882 719,680,322 1883 732,328,649 The foregoing figures tell their own tale. Thcie was a steady decrease while the Tories held the reins, and a remarkable increase as eoon as the Liberals came into power. These statistics some- how do not appear to fit in with' "Forward's" hectoring philosophy. If we take the shipping returns for the same period get the following figures: 1874 Tons 45,428,957 1875 „ 46,276,833 1876 „ 50,784,902 1877 51,531,077 1378 51,595,079 1879 „ 52.715,450 1880 53,736,063 1081 ,,57,949,145 1882 ,,61,491,255 1883 ,,64,961,753 Take again the quantity of coal and iron raised.

Taking the same period of ten years the total receipts from all kinds of railway traffic are as follows :— £ 1874 59,255,715 1875 61,237,000 1876 62,215,775 1877 62,973.328 1878 62,862,674 1879 61,776,705 1880 65,441,625 1831 66,557,442 1882 69.377,124 1883 71,062,270 The foregoing ligmcs, which are taken tr>:nn the Sio,if.*mai>">■ Yrar Jivok for l8Ho (" Fon\aid dors not give the source of his information^, do not bear out our correspondent's contentions. They do not show that the Liberal Party frighten capital out of the country, or that the moneyed classes refuse to invest when the revolutionary Radicals are in power. They do not show that trade is alwavs depressed when the Liberals handle the helm of State. It is quite another tale they tell. When- ever there was titi increase during fory years, that increase was fully maintained when'the Liberals callie in. lusonie cases, as iu the impoits and exports, we actually find a Tory decrease con- verted by the Liberals intoanincreaxe. That does not- look like paralysing industry by revolutionary politics. Tiie capitalists no uot seem to be parti- cularly afraid of the wild and erratic Radicals. With Mr. H. C. Lewis and "Disgusted," we do not think that the commerce of this Empire ia affected to any appreciable degree by the vicissi- tudea of party government. e have gone into the matter, and given the above figures, merely to show the fal-ityof l'ut"\Yaro1 is contention that the trade. His ten years indicate greater commercial activity under the Tories, and our ten years are decidedly favourable to the Liberals. We have every right to pit our decade against his. Clearly thc IIloml is that it matters uot very much to commerce which political partv is iu power. Jf "Forward" thinks that the Tories are the friends of the working classes bccause they increase t rade, then it looks as if the evidence of history must go againsthim. '0-

Onk of these days there will be a tine shindy in Wales over the University question, lliflietto matters have been maiu'cuvred by a set of men connected with the three national colleges, aud thr University is to be run entirely iu the interest of these institutious, The movement has been cap- tured by the dons, and they use it according to their own sweet will. But ere long their sins w ill find them out. When the public clearly understand matters by seeing the University in actual working order, they will rise up in angry revolt. Accord- ing to the present constitution the degrees arc con- ferred to the students of the three colleges of Cardiff, Aberystwyth, :in_^ Bangor. Self-culture is left out ill the coltI; it is neither recognized nor encouraged by the Welsh I niversity, All the colleges excepting the above three are ignored ontirelv. We venture to predict, at all events we hope, that this tyrannical provision will have to be modified. Another important subject is discussed in the current number of lf,(Yl" by Mr. O, M. Edwards and Professor ork Powell, who succeeds Froude as Regius Professor of Modern History in Oxford. The gratitude ot the whole nation is due to these eminent scholars and educationists for pro- testing agaiust the pedantry of the college dons. AN hat is the University going to do to cncouragc the studying of the language, history, and litera- ture of AS ales that is the point. The answer i:<. 1. III. order to pass the matriculation examination the studeut need know nothing about Wales past or present. He is bound to kuow some- thing of the language and history of England, Latiu, and mathematics he must have a smatter- ing cither of dynamics or chemistry or botany. But he is at liberty to leave Welsh out and take Hebrew, Greek, French, or German instead. So the native tongue is placed on the same level us two dead and l wo foreIgn languages. If the Welsh University is liotgoingtoexercisean influence on those students which would fan the flame of Welsh patriotism, we might, just as well remain satisfied with the London L uiveisity. The people oi Wales had hoped that the Welch University would be a distinctively Welsh. iUditutinu, that it would stimulate the sons and daughters of Wales to utudy the language, literature, and history of their native land, and so be a nursery of enlightened and lofly patriotism. The most notable thing about the University is its anti-Welsh character.
