THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1394.I
THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1394. THE»SUCCESS OF THE REVOLT. There were many regrettable features in yesterday's Conference of South Wales Liberals at Cardiff. The Conference had been too hastily and hap-hazardly summoned, and its decision cannot, on that account, carry with it much weight. H had been called together as a meeting of the Executive Committee of the South Wales Liberal Federation, but more thun half the people that attended were not on the- Executive Committee, A;z.in, the meeting was supposed to be representative of the whole of South Wales; and yet a good half of those that attended were resi- dent in Cardiff and the district. But the very de~ect3 of the composition of the meeting indirectly bore testimony to the popularity of the revolt. Th-ugh 25 out of the 50 present were resident in Card iff--wliere, we are told by the D,Û!y Chronicle the rovolter3 would dare not hold a meeting—it was found impossible to pass anything like a vote of censure or disapproval of the action of the four II "independents." In spite of the fainthearted- ness of some of the best Liberals present, there was one dominant note prevailing through the mc-eting—a note of of any Government that proved false to Wales. Mr. Burnie summed up the pos'tion of those who are opposed to the revolt by saying that he wouid join the revolt if he found the Government did not mean to pass the Disestablishment Bill. The friends of the revolters were willing to sacrifico a good deal of their own personal feelings if they could thereby build a "golden bridge" for the other 27 Welsh members. The need for united action was strongly insisted upon, and we confess that we think that that is the rigbt and wise policy. The other Welsh members should be given a chance of joining their brethren in their protest. Cir- cumstances have so willed it that it has been hitherto well-nigh impossible for tl em to do so without hurting their amour propr The resolution which was carried yea^ruay at the instance of Principal Edwards is perfectly harmless, and indeed from the revolters' point of view, useless but it will open the door for a conference of the Welsh party, and make reconciliation possible. The resolution declared in favour of obtaining a definite pledge from the Government that they would do their utmost to carry the Welsh Dises- taHishment Bill through the House of Commons in tliij Sesa'on. Sin'jo the resolution was passed. Lord R icebery has promised more than was asked of him in yesterday's meeting. He has, indeed, promised all that therevoltersaakedhimtodo. We dare to say that many good people will say that Lord Rosebery was only reiterating an old promise but it is none the less true that, hide t as he may, the Premier has been forced to do more, or at leant to promise more, for Wales than was ever done or promised before. And the credit for this must bo ascribe:! to the revoltors, and to the revolters alone. S :>ma young and daring natives of the | Principality,' said his Lordship last night at Birmingham, ''havs taken it into then- heads that it would I e a wise thing t) put this Government into a minority in order to carry, out the Disestablishment of the English Church in Wales. ("Shame.") Well, I don't, say shame it :s merely a matter of strategy, a matter of policy, m order to carry out what is thj object of their earnest conviction, [f theydo not believe that, as I confidently assert on this occasion, and Will again, 1 hope, before we meet the country, that we shall meet it with a measure of Welsh Disestablishment passed through the House of Commons. I say it they do I ot believe in our honour and our honesty, tho sooner they carry their threats into eli'oei the belter I shall be pleased." v. e can forgive Lord Rosebery his somewhat disingenuous defiance for the valuable and siifaeient pledge which he gave. In the first place, it should be noted that Lord Ltosebery does not think the t\.volters were to blame.; it was merely a matter of strategy, he ."a.id. and. he pays to the ■' young and daring natives of the Prin c-ipality the compliment which might have been expected from a good political strategist. He recognises that the revolters have succeeded by sheer pluck and daring; and we may feel sure that a Libeial Statesman does not grudge them their suceeps. The four revolters have done more in four weeks than the invertebrate Welsh party would have been able to do in four years and Wales will not fgrget her obligations to them. It is worth while to pay special attention to the wording of Lerd Rosebery's pledge. "I con- fidently assert on this occasion." he said, "and will again, I hope, before we meet the country." He makes no allusion to any previous pledge, for the obvious reason that none such existed. Mr. Burnie could find nothing stronger yesterday than Lord Rosebery s phrase at Edinburgh, that all that human effort could do would be done. But human effort could have placed Disestablishment next after Registration, but nothing of the sort was done or promised to be done. Never was there a pledge given before that the Bill would be carried through the House of Commons before the dissolution of Parliament. Mr. T. E. Ellis, speaking at Corris the other day, codd only promise conditionally that the Bill might reach the second reading this Session, but last night Lord Rosebery promised distinctly and absolutely that the Government wc.uld not meet the country without passing the Disestab- lishment Bill through the Commons. This is all that we contended for it was through failure to obtain this pledge that the four members revolted. What has made the difference P On Lord Bosebery's own showing, it is the strategy" of the four independents. We all knew that the Government would grant the wishes of Wales if the Welsh raernbalrs were true to themselvos. But if we left the Government alone, we could not blame them for taking the line of tho least resistance. Wisdom is justified of her children," and the wisdom of the revolt has been amply justified by its immediate and crowning success Lord Rosebery will now have the firm and undivided support of a solid phalanx of Welsh members, who will repay him with int-eress for his frank and un- mistakable pledge. Mr. T. E. Ellis will now be able to rely on the bithfnJ and unflinching devotion of his fellow-members, whose affection for him has not been dimmed by their temporary and strategical'' separation. But Wales will reserve her warmest love and gratitude to those four heroes, v/ho risked their all, their political reputation, yea their very political existence, to serve Walos loyally and faitliful'y. Those Welshmen who have watched tho revolt .vith hope and with sympathy, and yet v; <:h some fear for its fata in the face of lukev ARM friends and unscrupu- lous traitors, will co-day draw a deep breath of relief when they und that the gallant four have won for Wales peace with honour."
NOTE ON N11WS.
NOTE ON N11WS. A copy of the address NATIONAL UNION delivered by the retiring OF president (Mr. Ja3. Mac- SHOP ASSIST .KTs. plierson) to the delegates that attended the annual delegate meeting recently held in London Ras just come to hand. No one can speak with more iiuibcrity than he upon the movement, which ha.s hsd iiumeme difficulties to cor,tend with, mostly caused by the prejudice which is born of ignorance and misrepresentation. Ifc, therefore, behoves every shop assistant and clerk to become possessed of a copy of the address, together with other literature Letting fcrth the constitution and objects of the organiza- tion and the advantages it offers to members. As the president truly remarks, the opinion has been frequently expressed, not only by shop assistants, but by prominent public men, that a Trade Union could never be formed by shop assisiants. But now that the old idea that "Union" means "Strikes" has been exploded, e\en shop assistants begin to feel the need for combining for purposes of mfttual benefit, and the more employers and employes come to understand the constitution and objects of the National Union, the sooner will it realise the sueeeii which it so richly deserves. The National Union of Shop Assistants was formed at Bum ngham in 1391. At Manchester, in 1392, the constitution of the Union was broadened, so as to include warehousemen and clerks. In 1893 the Union was practically reconstructed at the instance of the Cardiff branch, which is in a most flourishing state, and is the stronge t of the 40 to 50 affiliated branches. The Cardiff president, who last year wasvice-piesident of the Union, W^B this year elected president. He is a Welshman, and the author of the articles upon Life behiud the counter" in the South Wales Daily News. There used to be a branch of the Union at Swansea, and an attempt is now being made to resuscitate it. We learn that a meeting for that purpose is to be held shortly. Among other advantages (which are shared in according to the payments made) the Union gives sick and out-of-emplovment bene- fit, which, by themselves, ought to be sufficient in- ducements for every male and fen ate shop assist" ant and clerk to join without delay.

An excellent biography and pori-nut ot tills veteran appears iu this week's Cymro. The Rev. Morris Morgan, of Swansea, as the whole world knoweth, is as astute a temperance reformer as ever climbed a platform. The initials of his credentials as a Welsh Templar are, C.U B.D. A more mysterious alpi1,bet still flies bei'orw Mr. D. G. Harri'S, of Aberdare's name. iiis credentials ran to the length of D.G.D.U.D. Dr. Joseph Parrv, who made a brief «tav at Swansea on Sunday and Monday, departed for Lampeter, shortly afterwards taking an eld friend —Mr. ^van^ironmonjjer, High-street, Swansea— in tow.

Mr. Hirwen Jones, who will undsrtake the tenor part in Madame Adelina Patti'8 recital perform- ance of Signor Ftzzis opera, Gabriel la," at the Royal Albert-hall on June 2, is a Welshman, and was b*:r.i in Car ligan. Mr. Jones studied at the Royal Academy of Music, first under Mr. Skake* spearo, and afterwards under Signor Rnodegger. Mr. Jones was the principal tenor in the eomyian? organised by Mr. Carte for the performances oil Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operas on Ute Conti- nent, Says a clerical correspondent, Welsh Dissent is developing. Years ago even Christmas Day arid Easter Sunday were slurred over as Popish reini-" niscences, Tieies have changed. At present such minor feast days as Ascension Thursday arc observed. Such was tho case, the Tyst tells us, at Bethesda, Carnarvonshire, this year. At several chapels in that enlightened neighbourhood relig^ ious services were held. It is not to be wondered at. It is there the Hev. D. Adams lives, and it ir clear his theory of development and evolutior gains ground there. A Llamlilo correspondent, with his usual toon homic, writes:—Sir,—Your note on Whit-Monday at Llandilo in "Post Bag" for the 2'ind inst., i? misleading. Instead of business people being hardly paid for opening their shops, a matter of fact it was a very busy day. although the weather was unfavourable. It would be unreasonable in an agricultural town to close the shops on a fair day, and in order to compensate the employers and em p:oyed for the loss of Dank Holiday, it was dor cided quite unanimously to close the shop on tht following Thursday, and I think all concerned thoroughly enjoyed the day of rest aud change is the middle of a busy season. It should be said, tl'- the credit of the employes that they worked withy- will to make the fair a success, although it fell OR Wbit-Monday. It is probable that most of her Majesty's loyal subjects know the Queen only by her Royal style, Victoria, and that such othe remainder of them as are aware that she bears another name, and that that is Alexandrina, believe that the latter if the second, and therefore in some sense tho inferior name. The well-informed, however, know that the Queen's named are Alexandrine Victoria, and a sentence or two in a letter of het" father, the Duke of Kent, written within a couplt of months of her christening, and sold a few days eince in Paris, may account for the choice of th«» second as the principal name. Her first name," the Duke wrote, "is Alexandrina Victoria, b) which name she is always called at home, is her last, being that ot her dear mother. The first sho bears after her godfather, the Emperor of Russia. Mr. J. Williams, headmaster of the principal Board School in Swindon, is a Welshman, with a strong feeling of nationality and the courage of his convictions. At a rural-decanal conference at Crickiade (North Wilts) this week, Ml": Williams was a lay representative, and a resolution against Welsh Disestablishment having been submitted, spoke boldly in defence of Mr. Asquilh's Bill. He was cognisant* he said, of the manner in which the work of the Church of England was carried oil in the Princi- pality, and his fellow-countrymen had much causa for grumbling and discontent. Mr. WilUaBas 8 outspokenness is creditable to him, but it gave a painful shock to most of the clergy present, wha are quite innocent of any perssaal e*Penw,cc of affairs in Wales, and whose one JlfÄuciple of action is to swear by" the Bishops. Henry Richard," writes a cofs9SP°lf<3ent," was no Home Kuier. In a pamP^e^ published in 1874, entitled The Gradual -^iuinpb of Lavf overBrute Force,' Mr. Richard, after referring to the national amalgamation ot so many petty nations or states distinct from each other ia France into one natiooj nnd also in Spain, as well as in Italy and Gerniany, remarks that with the prece. of unification in those countries, 'distinction of race has beoa no barrier to Polltieal assimilation. Theile is an immense amount of sentiments! nonsense talked in these days about what is callei the question of Nationalities.' There are many who clamorously Insist upon it that every collection of human boingg that has what they call 'ethnical distinctness,' is entitled, ipso facto, to political separation and independence, For OK* own part we uni t avow our belt!? that the fo,wt1 nationalities there arc the bettei; The f rogreW of civilisation has been marked fey the wider wider ab::oi'ptio<> ot the e sec.usriai ui »>u«.tioa* which have divlJeJ the hum- ra^'e.
