Notes from South Wales. (From our Special Correspondent.) Cardiff Representation. It is now pretty well understood that Lord Mayor Robert Hughes will be the Conservative candidate for Cardiff at the next Parliamentary election. I Agree. "They had heard the sneering remark: What is Wales ?' and they did not like it." Thus observed the Rev. Lemuel James, M.A., curate of Barry, at the recent Llandaff Diocesan Conference. I agree. The Rectorship of Tenby. It is ridiculous to think that the ecclesiastical authorities should have to go to England to find a successor to the vacant rectorship of Tenby. There are plenty of Welsh clergymen who would have filled the post quite as well. There is no doubt that Welsh clergymen are badly treated. The only remedy is Disestablishment. Why Should He Be. I am not ashamed to say that I came to Cardiff a poor boy with only is. 6d. in my ,pocket.Lord Mayor Robert Hughes at a Cardiff Friendly Society's dinner. A Costly Ride. Lord and Lady Bute and their servants left Cardiff on Friday for Scotland in a special train, the cost of which amounted to between £100 and £200. This sum would be sufficient to provide about 300 of Cardiff's poorest children with free dinners daily for about two months. Only to Suffer. Jesus Christ had nothing to do with priests except to suffer at their hands.Dr. Clifford in the course of his recent South Wales speech. Not Caerphilly Cheese. Some of the speakers at the recent Llandaff Diocesan Conference were very sarcastic. The Rev. J. H. Jenkins, of Taffs Well, thus un- burdened himself:—"The Welsh Revolt was something that had been pressed in the English Free Church Council dairy, and put on the counter in Wales as good honest Caerphilly cheese." The Truth. '• The past has belonged too much to the aristocracy, to the squire, the capitalist, and the landlords. The old song of the children of the aristocracy used to be God bless the squire and all his relations, And teach us all to keep our stations Now there is a change, and the people are coming to their rights."—Rev. J. Glyn Davies, of Newport, at a Rhondda Free Church meeting. Was there a Trumpet? The bugle with which Trumpeter William Brittain, of the 17th Lancers, is alleged to have sounded the famous charge!" at Balaclava, was recently sold in a London auction-room, Lord Tredegar, who took part in the charge, is dubious as to there being such a trumpet sounded, and he made some remarks to that effect in South Wales lately. Wales in London. Not only is London's Lord Mayor for the ensuing year a native of picturesque Cambria, but one of the probable leading beauties of the next London season," also hails from the Principality. This is Lady Muriel Campbell, youngest daughter of the Earl and- Countess Cawdor, who is thus described in the London Evening Standard :—" Lady Muriel is extremely pretty, with bright brown hair, violet blue eyes, and a lovely complexion, and bids fair to be among the beauties of the London season, 1906." Protection and Horse Flesh. The following extract from an official report may probably interest the Carmarthenshire Tariff Reform Association ;—" In Berlin, the number of horses slaughtered for the market has increased from 7,267 in 1895, to about 13,000 in 1904. In Breslau, which has only one-fifth of the population of Berlin, the number of horses slain by the butchers last year was 3,800, or one for about every 130 inhabitants. The best cuts command in the German capital from 4d. to 5d. a pound, but inferior meats sell as low as i-id. or 2d. per pound." I know Car- 2 marthenshire and West Wales well, and I am convinced that the inhabitants will not consent to substitute beef-steak for horse cutlets, even if Mr. Chamberlain is "the most clear-sighted politician in the kingdom." Keeping out the Sunshine. As one who attended Board of Guardians and similar meetings for weekly journals, I thoroughly endorse the following comment that the reporter of a West Wales newspaper made recently in reporting a local Guardians' meet- ing During the meeting the sun shone into the room, but one of the Guardians at once drew down the blinds. This is habitually done by the Guardians, as if sunshine were by all means to be excluded, instead of being one of the great essentials of life in the animal and vegetable kingdom." This is just as stupid as keeping all the windows shut to keep out the draught! The Teaching of Welsh. The Cardiff Education Committee have decided to make the teaching of Welsh com- pulsory in Standard 1. of the elementary schools of the town. Principal Griffiths, of the South Wales University College, it is worth noting, did not want to make it compulsory. Commenting thereon the Western Mail very appropriately remarked: Principal Griffiths seems to believe that the subject had better be left to the choice of the parents and children, an attitude which does not bespeak much acquaintance with the history of elementary schools. Why make an exception in the case of Welsh ? Parents are not consulted by the Education Committee in regard to the subjects put in the time table." Just so.

MR. STEAD ON RUSSIA.

MR. STEAD ON RUSSIA. Evidently seeing is believing. His own eyes 9. have compelled even Mr. W. T. Stead to believe that things are somewhat out of order in Russia. Whilst looking towards thenorth through the folds of the fogs of London he failed to see anything much amiss in that direction. But few weeks in the cold but clear atmosphere of St. Petersburg and Moscow have opened his eyes, or have rather made him put aside his coloured glasses. The Czar is no longer a paragon of all the virtues. He is still "well meaning, but irresolute, subject to alternate hot and cold fits of indignation and of sympathy, of dismay, and of anger. When he would do good, evil is present with him." In order that we who are simple-minded folk may understand how matters stand in the unhappy empire, the editor of the Review of Reviews, who is nothing if not in the prophetic succession, uses a parable and applies it even to the minutest detail. It is that of the state of Ireland in the early eighties. The Czar is Mr. Gladstone; General Trepoff is Mr. Forster; the Terrorists are the Glan-na-Gaels the Zemstvo Convention is the Land League; but the one is not responsible for the doings of the other. The Zemstvo have no Parnell, it has only a Justin McCarthy. Siberia is Kilmain- ham; Professor Melickoff, we take it, is Mr. Wm. O'Brien in his breeches; and the Moscow Gazette is United Ireland. It is altogether a marvellous parallel, drawn with all the skill of hand and ornamented with all the vivid colours that Mr. Stead knows so well how to use. But in all seriousness the picture he gives is a sad one in the extreme. Like all tyrants the Czar has only yielded to revolt what justice and good government ought to have dictated, and his reforms have come too late to be accepted by the people. The anarchy and disorders are mental as well as social. This is described in the following forcible paragraph :— All the painful symptoms of aggravated nervous disorder confront you at every turn. The most contra- dictory assertions, the most inconsistent pro- positions are to be heard everywhere. Strong Conservatives, who assure you one minute that the great part of the Russian nation is unalterably devoted to the Czar and the Holy Orthodox Church, will tell you in their next breath that next spring we shall see Count Witte instilled as the first President of a Red Republic."

HEN LYTHYR. Yn ddiweddar daeth i'n llaw lythyr a ysgrif- enodd Ieuan Gwynedd pan yn yr ysgol yn Martin driugain a phump o flynyddau yn ol at ei hen weinidog, y Parch. Hugh James, y Brith- dir y pryd hwnnw, Llansantffraid wedi hynny. Y mae yn sicr genym y bydd mor ddyddorol i liaws ein darllenwyr ag ydoedd i ninnau :— Martin, Oct. 20th, 1840. Revd. Sir,—You will highly oblige me if you can send to me some particulars concerning the N. W. Academy. I am quite at a loss to know anything concerning it. I shall be highly indebted if you will be kind enough to let me know is it likely to be instituted soon or not. If not I will lose no time in applying to Brecon College. I am sorry to say that Mr. Jones does not get any better. With the exception of him we are well here. The only students here are Thomas and myself. We heard that Morris will come soon. I had a letter from the old brother Hughes last Saturday. He had two places in view, viz., Aberdaron, Hebron and Nebo, and Llanaelhaiarn and Nazareth. Miss Catherine Jones of Penal went home to-day from Nantyseibbau. She had enough with the English. I am preaching here and at Forden 3 times every Sunday. Mr. Philips gives me my dinner every day since fortnight. I hope God will bless his soul for this. Ihave been at Sarney lately, and I saw many inquiring kindly tor you, and I was happy to tell them that you were well and prosperous when I saw you. I am going to Pool to-night to say something about Teetotalism. If you will please to write let me know does the praying all at once continue yet. I have no time to enlarge at present. I hope that all of my beloved friends are well there as I am here. Believe me to be, Revd. Sir, Your humble St., EVAN JONES, 1. GWYNEDD.
