CARDIGANSHIRE LIBERALISM.
CARDIGANSHIRE LIBERALISM. Apart from the particular object wkich called them together there was something encouraging in the fact that between seventy and eighty men from different parts of the county of Cardigan could be assembled on a stormy day in March to deliberate on questions which are of no more importance to them personally than they are to every other man in the country. Delegates were present from districts to which no railway has yet penetrated and every man's presence cost him loss of money, and what is often of more conse i quence, time and comfort. It may please some j of our Conservative contemporaries to sneer at j rueetings of this kind, but thev know perfectly well that wLsu the Liberals of a county like Cardigan arouse themselves, and calmly and deliberately prepare for battle, there can be little doubt as to the result. There were no tirades against Conservatives, and no repetition of vain regrets tbe patl but an o ts ab earnest questioning as to the best moaus ùî retrieving the disaster which has befallen the county. It is not our intention to deal with what was said at the conference, but the results cannot fail to give satisfaction all over the county, and if steady work in future takes the place of past apathy and over-confidence, we shall be satisfied. The general feeling, we are sure, is that the election was lost by what we call want of organization, and what Mr E. M. RICHARDS himself very aptly Urms over-confi- dence. The difference is merely one of terms after all over-confidence brings about apathy, and is the real cause of the absence cf organiza- tion, which existed in 1868, and which it is now found cannot be dispensed with in 1874, not- withstanding the fact that we possess the Ballot. We should question very much our honesty in ad- vocating a reform if we felt inclined to turn round when the reform was found to be unfavour- able to the advancement of our own views, and we are to-day as much in favour of secret voting as ever we were, and should consider its repeal an almost unmixed evil. The protection that secret voting gives was undoubtedly needed in Cardiganshire, and we contend it was not the Ballot so much that lost Liberalism a seat in that county as it was partly a want ot faith that the secrecy of voting would really be maintained, and partly a feeling that with the Ballot nothing else was needed. Liberalism depends on political education, and we are glad to find that an attempt will be made in future to keep the people well acquainted with those questions which are from time to time agitating the country. We have for years worked in this direction, almost single handed, and all we ask is that we should be informed when meetings are held so that the speeches may be reported; and our columns are open now as they have ever been, to contributions in Welsh or English. We have given forth no uncertain sound respecting our political views and have at any rate reaped all the disadvantages of the position we took up years ago. We have tried with some measure of success to make the Cambrian News part English and part Welsh, and all our correspondents in the towns and villages of Cardiganshire, Merionethshire, and other parts, are encouraged to write in the language which will be best understood in their own dis- trict. In towns English prevails, but in villages Welsh is in the ascendant, and we ask for the co- operation of our Liberal friends to assist us in doing more fully what all the speakers and Mr HENRY RICHARD unite in thinking must be done if the recent defeat is to be reversed on the first opportunity. The registration is another im- portant department which ought to be attended to by paid agents, who, after all, have been found more efficient than even the most disinterested workers from mere devotion to principle. This is a work that absorbs a considerable sum of money and there can be no doubt that if the work of organization is to be thoroughly well done a sum of at least zC300 or zE400 a year should be raised, and we think if the people are really in earnest it will be raised, especially as Mr DAVID DAVIES, M.P., promised £ 100. At least X200 a year should be obtained in subscrip- tions under £10, and then with a fund to work upon, something could be done without looking altogether to one or two gentlemen, who after all are under no obligation to defray the expenses of spreading Liberal principles merely because they happen to possess wealth, or have been chosen to represent the electors in Parliament. There is one other point to which we will refer, and that is the necessity for choosing a candidate as soon as the committees have been got into working order, and we trust that one of the first acts cf the county association will be to meet and choose a gentleman who will receive the support of the whole party, so that the electors may know for whom their support will be asked. Of course we think that the choice would fall upon Mr E. M. RICHARDS, but he has given no indication that he would again fight an expensive battie on behalf of Liberalism; though on the other hand he has said nothing which in any sense whatever could lead to the supposition that he would not be willing again to ccme forward if it was the wish of the united party that he should do so, and we trust the generous offer of Mr DAVID DAVIES to con- tribute £ 500 towards the next candidate's expenses will induce others to follow our Borough member's generous example, and at least double the sum by subscriptions. The conference, we may state in conclusion, was beyond all question an unqualified success, and the meeting in the evening, considering the fact that Mr HENRY RICHARD and several other gentlemen were unable to attend, exceeded the most sanguine expecta- tions of these who were naturally anxious, especially as the weather turned out so un- favourable.
WATER FOR BALA.
WATER FOR BALA. The members of the Bala Local Board are to be commiserated. They have before them the task of selecting the best source of a public water supply, and a harder or more unpleasant task they could scarcely find. Of one thing they may be sure, that whatever source they select they will be blamed for their choice; and if they suc- ceed tolerably well in satisfying the requirements of the town, their lot will be a happier one than that of most of the Boards who have had a simi. lar duty to perform. The Bala Local Board, therefore does well to proceed cautiously in the ma ^er, though we may hope the members will not make haste as slowly as some places we know of in Wales, where a water supply has been in prospect for several years! There is a happy mean between making up one's mind too quickly, and apparently having no mind to make up. One of the most frequent causes of failure in connec- tion with water works is the discovery made after the works are completed, that the source is not sufficient. The flow may have been copious enough when the subject was under the considera. tion of the authorities, but in dry weather it al. most ceases, and expensive additions have to be made to the original plans. Then, of course, there is the danger of choosing water which is, so to speak, impure in itself, or subject to frequent accidental contamination, or water which cannot be conveniently used in trade, because of its effect upon metal; or, again, water which deposits" to such an extent tuat the mains become obstructed, as at Oswestry. Ail these prospective difficulties, and others, the bala Board has to avoid, and we wish the members well out of their delicate and laborious task.
- ---------. WHY SHOULD CHILDREN…
WHY SHOULD CHILDREN BE BURNT TO DEATH ? We report to-day two inquests in South Carnarvonshire in which the victims were children who had been burnt to death, and the frequency of accidents of a similar kind seems to call for some comment. It cannot be necessary that these continual sacrifices of children's lives should be made, and when we remember the amount of physical agony which often accompanies death by burning, it becomes the duty of every humane I ( person to interfere on behalf of the sufferers. The accident generally hap [tens in this wuv the 0' .ard -,es o,,it. perhaps, by Ijard necessity to earn her living, and leaves Lui little ones to take care of themselves. She returns to find that the elotnmg of one of them has caught fire, and that the child is fatally injured. 80e. r, tW, f onginated bJ accidental contact with r'ov W •' at/ther timc« the children have been aflame 4 -an:1 thU3 Set their clothes a e. A here 33 one simple remedy which is too often neglect, A guard for the fire place is a cheap and easy protection which, one mi^ht suppose no parent would neglect, but we ara afraid It is the rule, and not the exception, for parents to leave the children exposed to danger without even this attempt to shield them. Coroners' juries take parental care too much for granted. In cases of this sort a rigid inquiry should be made, as t, whether every reasonable precaution was adopted, and where it was not hard as it may seem, it is the duty of the jury to censure the proper parties, as a warning to others. Of course, after all possible steps are taken to guard against danger, children will play with fire if they can get to it, and, al hogh a good deal may be done iu the way we have sug- gested to keep them from it, a certain amount of risk remains, and it is, of course, defil" hIe that, as far as possible, the plan of leaving children of tender years alone in a room with a fire in it should be abandoned Women who go out regu- larly to work ought to understand that it is their duty to provide fur the care of their children, and in almost every place somerody could be found who, for a very small consideration, would tend the children in a kind of public nursery. Indeed, well-to-do people who take an interest in their poorer neighbours will be directing their benevolence into a most useful channel if they will try to establish these public nurseries, where children who are too young for school can be attended to. The necessity becomes all the greater under the rule of School Boards, which requires the eldec children, who have hitherto acted as nurses at home, to be receiving instruction at school. The matter is one which well deserves attention, and we commend it to clergymen's wives and all who care for the welfare of the poor.
THE GROWTH OF TREES.
THE GROWTH OF TREES. Anyone unacquainted with the nature of the soil in Cardiganshire would naturally presume, from the nakedness of the country, that it is in some way or ether unfitted for the growth of trees, but on careful examination of growing timber to be found here and there in that part of the Prin- cipality, others reasons would have to be found to account for the absence of plantations, as it is an undoubted fact that Cardiganshire is better able to grow larch than almost any other part of the United Kingdom. To practical agriculturists the advantages of a well-wooded country are so obvious that it is unnecessary to point out how much would be gained in increased shelter and moderated climate, to say nothing of the pecuni- ary returns, by a general adoption of forest-tree planting. About the year 1800 Squire JONES, of Hafod, planted some millions of trees on between fifteen hundred and two thousand acres of land, many acres of it not being worth 6d. an acre for other purposes. For the last twenty years the revenue by thinning this timber has been some- thing like zC2,000 a year, and the woods appear to be thicker now than they were twenty years ago. The timber is of the best quality-closer in grain and tougher in fibre than almost any larch in Great Britain. Strange to say, other landed proprietors, notwithstanding the fact that they have seen the profitable results of Mr JONES'S enterprise, have not to any great extent followed his example, though it is only fair to sav h y IV SOINE planting has beeii done recently, and, con- sidering the rapidly-increasing scarcity of timber, there is every inducement for capitalists to invest their money in this way, especially as a great deal of the land which would grow excellent larch can neither be brought under plough nor scythe. One great obstacle in the way of landowners is, of course, the large outlay required in the first instance, not only for plants and labour, but for enclosing the plantations and for maintaining the fences for the first twenty-five or thirty years. The planting of forest trees necessarily partakes largely of the nature of an investment forposterity, and landowners are inclined, even when they pos- sess the necessary capital, to ask what posterity has done for them that they should embarrass them. selves by sinking money which cannot possibly make any return under a quarter of a century at least. Much has already been written on this subject, and its importance has been more clearly recognized in this country since it became ap- parent that the forests of America were ceasing to yield timber at prices which would pay for importa- tion. The rating of woods and plantations is a question now exciting a good deal of interest in the country, but we think land will never be rated higher than at its fair agricultural value before It was planted, and, therefore, considering the worthlessness of many thousands of acres of land which might be planted in Cardiganshire, invest- ors need not hesitate on account of any future burden of rates likely to be placed on this de- scription of property. In France, as is well known forestry has long been carefully attended to in SS Zt a grat breadth of land growstimber, and theie is surely no reason why many of the hills and other waste lands in Wales should be totally unproductive. One great argument in favour of this and other projects of a similar kind is that they tend to increase the internal wealth of the Principality, and as a natural consequence of in- creased wealth money would be more plentiful, and business of every kind would be stimulated. At present Wales is a long way behind England in agriculture and also in manufactures, but we are inclined to think that the possibility of estab- lishing trades and so utilizing the vast water power of the country is beginning to be realized. However, let that be as it may, there can be no doubt that land, which, after all, is nothing less than a great wealth, producing machine, should be made to yield all that it can, and the way to accomplish this desirable end is for each man to1 do what is within his own power, and not to wait for some better time or more favourable opportu- nity.

Last year a quantity of manure belonging to the town of Aberystwyth was sold by auction, and one of the condi- tions of sale was that it should be removed in a certain time. If the purchasers did not comply with the condi* tions of sale it was understood that Mr PBLL, who now con- tracts for tile town manure, would remove it without further notice. Mr PELL, however, probably doss not feel justified in removing the manure without receiving further instructions, which we trust will be given at the next meeting of the Council. The road leading to the Aberystwyth Smithfield was intended for the show of horses, and is admirably adapted for that pur- pose,butdealersandfarmers are not inclined to coilfinethew- g selves to the accommodation set apart for them, and it 18 by no means a rare thing to see horses galloping furiously past the station on fair days. Children have been knocked down by horses on Lewis-terrace, and if something is not done io put an end to the present dangerous practice there is reason to fear that life will be lost. We should be sorry to say one word that might in any degree tend to injure the fa^rs, but seeing that excellent accommodation has provided m a specified place, we do not aee any reason wb/ tu°9?jW /u iC c,on ne themselves to shou d not be brought before the magistrates and heavd^ ViCr°UrSL Qecessity for taking some action this kind before ttie new school is opened will at once recognized, but we do not quite understand how the en- croachment complained of has been allowed to long.
