So»* providential arrangement might be made toj ascertain what has beeome of the £1.700 sub- scribed to the special lands of theFederatio" two or three years ago. In Wales nationalism is to devote itself to; the extermination of public-houses. In Ire- land it is the chief buttress of the trade, yet Mr. Lloyd-George holds the Irish as the one fit for importation iato tbf Principality. Previous to the commencement of 1"- night's Cymry Fydd meeting it was found tb>* the gas in the Drill-hail was escaping. T hi* j was bad, but the escape of gas that followed j showed how humanity can triumph over inch lead piping. i After the Sir Jehn Llewelyn Geranium t new grown at Swansea, of which the Pod gave a description the other day, the MC£!I would not be surprised to hear that soIlJe Cymrlt Fydd gardeners have produced Lloyd-George Leek A man who was sentenced to a tweW month's imprisonment at 8w ansea.recently said to have written to his loving wife thusj I have the satisfaction of informing J0^ f that at last I am in a situation.

Edmunds's passionate app.-1 for Cymric Unity was punctuated on Frida1; night by an angryaltercation among theCyØ1rl Fyddites as to whether the speeches would be in English or Welsh. There are woø English than Welsh her* was the un- seasonable remark of a malcontent. Hallo, old fellow," said a Swansea man 1" a friend at High-street Station yesterday* Going off ?

SATURDAY, ,OCTOBER 6, 1894.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1894. NOTES & COMMENTS The tin-plate trade is beginning to yield the results of the new tariff. Stocks have been diminishing at an encouraging rate- 22,407 tons left Swansea in September, as against 15,888 tons in September of last year-and prices have taken an unmis- takable upward turn. If the industry I were in the hands of strong men exclu- sively, and no unseemly eagerness were I shown to accept orders, the improvement would doubtless continue, and the losses of the lean years would to a great extent be recovered. The Llanelly National Eisteddfod has not by any means emerged from the shallows of the pre- liminary arrangements. On Thursday evenizi- the Musical Committee decided, by 22 votes to 7, to throw the Bugail da overboard. It is within the ranga of probability that the Elijah will auScr the same fate, in which event the selection of works for performance by the Eisteddfodic Choir will have to be gone through over again. Angry feeling has been imported into the matter—Alaw Ddu, the composer of Y Bigail da," is the chair- man of the committee—and dissensions may ensue in consequence. We hope the members of the committee will rise superior to petty differences of this kind. There has already been too much sul king in the tents. The Martyr of Antioch and" Acis and Galatea may possibly replace one or the other of the works originally chosen. Last night's meeting at the Drill Hall demonstrated the strength of Welsh senti- ment at Swansea it also demonstrated the hollowness of Cymry Fyddiam, re- garded a.s a manifestation of nationalism. The attendance was large and superior in character, and it had in a marked degree the Welsh failing of being influenced more by appeals to the heart than by appeals to the mind. A more indulgent audience no orator could hope to have, and its Radi- calism was irreploa :hable. The distinguishing feature of the oratory was its proneness to be self-contradictory. From first to last nationalism was exalted n precept, and debased in practico. The Rev. E. Edwards struck the key-note of contrariness, and it never ceased to rever- berate until the assembly dispersed. In a I Jpeech marked by earnestness and fervour, he proposed a resolution which accen- tuated differences that divide Welsh- men into rival aud antagonistic camps, and supported it with mournful references I to the racial weakness for division and an I appeal for Cymric unity. And this at a meeting convened for the express purpose of building up a wall of party prejudice between Welshmen—young and otherwise. The same anomaly was visible in the address of Mr. Lloyd-George, which hardly did justice to his un- doubted powers as a speaker. He has spoken too frequently of late, and in these days of daily newspapers no prominent orator can avoid staleness unless he is con- stantly adding to his illustrations, and i varying his methods in treating a subject of abiding intoresc. He obviously suffered from the task that he had assigned himself of driving Radicalism of the common-place I kind in double-harness with Nationalism in its purity and exaltation. We appreciate his difficulties. If a sudden passion for frankness and candour had seized him, Mr. Lloyd-George would pro- bably have told the audience that the abortive attempt at revolt early in the year had proved the need of supplanting the I existing Radical organisations with one more ready to sanction and support a spirited policy in Parliament, and that Cymry Fyddism was intended to act in that capacity. But tht, truth had to be II carefully wrapped up, and it was. Patriotism and nationalism, as understood bv him, have no higher purpose to serve than the consolidation of Liberalism—or, to use more homely language, they must be used to fill up the gaps in the hedges neglected by the Liberal Association Probably patriotism was never prostituted to a more menial purpose. This is less surprising, however at a period when every patriot aspires to live on his I country. Dying for one's country implies a patriotism out of date and out of fashion. In the main the speech, though itaffected I to bear upon a new thing, simply rang the «4A more than one generation of Wolsh members of Parliament. Its only novelty was the label. The glorification of Irish "martyrs" who had given up their lives for Ireland—after murderously taking the lives of others--must have jarred on sensitive nerves, for in Wales we continue to take an old-fashioned view of murder. Mr. Lloyd-George misunderstands the Cymric temperament if he imagines that his countrymen can contemplate with enthusiasm the possibility of changes being effected by Irish methods. Better that Wales should be for ev*- doomed to politi- cal stagnation than undergo the terrible experiences of Ireland, where outrage on man and beast has been elevated into a virtue. And sorry type of the patriot is he who invokes the passions of the human beast in the name of nationalism. Mr. John Redmond is an example to be avoided, and Mr. Lloyd-George will be wise in seeking a higher ideal for pursuit. el Mr. Llewelyn Williams made a distinct impression by his transparent earnestness. He noticed the testimony brought by us to the possession by him of an earlier and better idea of nationalism than Cymry Fyddism, but only to evade its significance. The perfect self-possession which enables Mr. Lloyd-George to bring his powers into 11 el full play has not yet come to the old editor of the Post. Otherwise his manner was impassive, and his oratory had the fervour of that which flows straight from the heart. Much pi his matter was excellent, but it suffered from the defects which are inevitable when a man stifles his intelligence and perverts his judgment in order to look out upon the world through a crack in the wall. What chiefly made his speech effective, and secured him the sympathy of his audience, was the ring of sincerity in his utterances-a merit decidedly rare nowadays when place- hunting politicians have captured nearly all the Welsh seats. The ardent patriot who attended the meeting to find reasons for a faith in Cymry Fyddism must have gone away in a state of unutterable perplexity. It was an elusive, intangible creed that could be pieced together from the speeches, and if lie evolved out of the confusion of phrases the idea that Cymry Fyddism was a new skin for the old, sour wine of Liberalism, and that its alpha and omega was the organising of Liberal voters, he might flatter himself upon having learned all that could be learned respecting it.
