of fIte Qleelt. SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1887. The Budget is neither humdrum nor brilliant. The Chancellor of the Exchequer contrived to throw over his financial pro- posals a glamour which fascinated many, who, on maturer reflection, are forced to admit that there i3 little to crow about. The reduction of the incomo tax from eightpence to seven pence in tho £ is welcome enough, especially to that numerous body of tax- payers whose incomes are below £ 400 per annum. Then the lowering of the tobacco duty from 3s 6d to 3s 2d per It,. is a step of which no one will complain, except, perhaps, the anti-tobacco people. The expansion of the revenue gives a surplus, but not sufficient to warrant any sub- stantial remission of taxation. Consequently Mr Goschen has appropriated two millions of money which should have gone towards re- ducing the National Debt. In other words, ho has curtailed a Sinking Fund established by Sir Stafford Noitbcote, and for no other purpose than to buy a little fleeting popu- larity for the Government. Mr Gladstone, in a striking speech, has pointed out the folly of interfering with the Sinking Fund at a timo when the nation is at peace with the whole world, and the national income is one thousand millions sterling, larger than at any previous period. We are in a posi- tion to increase the speed at which we are paying olf the National Debt, yet Mr Goschen has ventured to reduce that speed. Lord Randolph Churchill, who, for once in his life is showing a little consistency, complains that the military, naval, and Civil Service estimates arc not reduced. As lie contended when he left office, these charges are un- necessarily heavy. So the taxpayers think, but the waste of public funds will not be stopped until the, House of Commons con- tains a majority of members pledged to economy. It is high time the grand old watchword, Retrenchment," passed from the lips of every Liberal throughout tho country. The House of Lords has read the Land Transfer Bill a second time. This small instalment of agrarian reform is but the beginning of much-needed changes in the land laws. It is a little surprising that their lordships should cqnsent to reform of any kind but perhaps they deem it prudent to throw a sop to the democracy. The country is agreed that our land is governed by laws which are absolutely indefensible. A few thousand persons own the agricultural soil from which the toilers are practically divorced. The Lord Chancellor proposes to establish an office for the regis- tration cf sales, but a glaring de- fect in the bill is that registration is voluntary and not compulsory. Cheap transfer is wanted, yards of legal jargon being dispensed with. A brief title properly registered suffices in the colonies, and it would suffice for us. Abolition of the ancient law of primogeniture will be generally approved, but it is absurd to speak of setting aside the law of entail, and at the I same time to allow a continuance of the Custom of Settlements. As Mr Arthur Arnold mentions in all admirable letter, about fifty million acres of land are tied up by settlements, which are tho worst form of entail that wo have to fight against. Even if Parliament succeed in passing the Lord Chancellor's Bill, much will remain to bo done. Farmers need security of tenures and fair rents, whilst in towns traders sorely require protection from lease-owning monopolists who are chiefly remarkable for their unscrupulous greed. One day this week evidence was adduced before a Select Committee showing that titled landowners in London deal most unfairly with leaseholders, who have 110 remedy whatever. The Carthusian monks who make the well-known liqueur, La Grande Chartreuse, are supposed never to admit a woman within the precincts of their ancient monastery. Seven centuries ago Prior Guiges wrote:- iievc..r allow women to enter our walls, for we know that neither the wise man, nor the prophet, nor the judge nor even the first model that left the Maker's hand, is proof against their caresses and their deceptions. But manners and opinions have caanged since the good prior wrote the loi-egoing. l e Majesty, who is staying at Aix-les-JJams, exoressed a wish to visit tho famous monas- tery. Accordingly a special dispensation ■was obtained from the Pope, and on ^a.ui- day the Qncen reached the mountain l-efcrear, and the fathers showed her over it. Unuer ordinary circumstances it is only customary for the fathers to break silence once in seven days—on Thursday—when they go out for a walk in the adjacent woods. But last week they must have conversed on at least two davs, for Saturday was a grand holiday. The Fathers are very hospitable. They entertain many male visitors, providing them with plain food and sleepiu" accommodation in a simply- furnished ceil. Her Majesty saw a Russian who had served as a general in the Crimea, and a young Englishman who had given up considerable estates, resigning himself to a life of solitude and prayer. Not the whole of the monks are employed in distilling liqueurs, some of them working at various ordinary trades. A bench and tools form part of the furniture of each room, so we presume each monk is expected to do a little carpentering work. The disastrous collision between the Stratlial lan and the Adara, in Penarth, Roads, has been the subject of an official inquiry, held at Swansea, with the result that the certificate of Captain Park, the master of the Strathailan, is suspended lor twelve months. Tho collision was^ caused by the recklessness of Captain lark in going at full speed 011 a darn; night, in a locality where it was reasonable to suppose that vessels would be an^hoied. The court found that the position of the Adara was in the usual anchorage, where large ships bring up so as to be afloat at all times of the tide, and the evidence proved that her light was burning brightly. Another fatal disaster is the wreck of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Tasmania, which ran on a reef in the Iraits of liona- facio. The casualty occurred early in the j morning, and the passengers, half wild with terror, rushed 011 deck. J he discipline of the crew, mainly composed of Lascars, was severely tried, and but for the coolness and judgment of the chief officer, who took com- mand after the captain was drowned, and the orderly behaviour of the passengers, the loss of life would have been larger than it Ireally was, though 36 persons perished. The boats were launched, and the survivors were j drifting about for twenty-four hours before they were picked up.

THE CRUSADE AGAINST COERCION. THE crusade against Coercion gains in force and intensity. The indignation of the electors is thoroughly roused, and the* Government ia condemned in no measured language. Ministerialists scoff at the great gatherings which are being held throughout the length and breadth of the land. Lord SALISBURY affects to care naught for the opinion of the streets," and he has taken counsel with the knights and dames of tho Primrose League—the organization which enjoys a monopoly of boycotting in England. Mr CHAMBERLAIN surveys the scene from the far North, but he cannot get entirely away from tho sound of cheers for Gladstone and Home Rule. He talks to the Crofters about their own grievances, but he finds those sturdy people as little selfish as lie found Welshmen when, in the moat unscrupulous manner, he attempted to detach them from Home Rule, on the specious pretext that they would then be able to get Disestablishment. Welshmen know perfectly well that it is vain to look for important Welsh legislation so long as Ireland blocks the way. Mr CHAMBERLAIN, with strange pertinacity, Contends that Ireland does hot block the way. Neverthe- less, evidence to the contrary is apparent on every hand. Tho House of Commons is occupied with Ireland, and the Paper- Unionists do not propose any legislation for Great. Britain. It is as surprising as it is painful that Mr CHAMBERLAIN should fight against palpable facts. The pro- sent Parliamentary paralysis will con- tinuo so long as the House of Commons turns a deaf year to the constitu- tional demands of the Irish representatives. The Duke of ARGYLL, who regards himself as a statesman, but whose public record fixes him as a pottering politician, complains that the Liberal leaders are playing to "the sixpenny gallery." By the sixpenny gallery," his grace means the working cJasses-the men who control the destinies of this great country. It would be utterly futile playing to the dukcs and the other titled personages, because they are a miser- able minority, who, even in the gilded chamber, cannot exactly follow their own inclinations. The dukes are getting played out. They have had a long innings, and it cannot be said that they have neglected their personal interests. If they had been less selfish, and more concerned for the weal of the nation, fewer iniqui- tous laws would now disgrace the Statute Book. The sixpenny gallery" bears in mind that during the past half-contury it has had to wage fierce and frequent warfare with the House of Lords in order to obtain measures of reform. Nor is it improbable that further battles will be fought and that the aristocrats will be again beaten. Dukes are exceedingly unwise in pouring contemp- tuous words on the sixpenny gallery, and they are equally foolish in offering insult to the popular leaders. Working men are paying earnest attention to the Irish difficulty. They are assimilating the facts which are placed before them, and their only desire is to act justly by the Irish people. Misrepresenta- tion and calumny have done their worst, and the English people now begin to see through the vulgar devices of Tories and Paper-Unionists. Forged letters and abusive communications written by Cabinet Ministers' secretaries will utterly fail to draw the electors from the main issue. The decision of an insignificant and decaying borough like Taunton is unworthy of notice. Small towns have often floated in members on beer, and it is asserted that at Taunton beer was freely consumed on the day of the election. In all the great centres of population there is but one expression of opinion, and that is against coercion. Liverpool and Burnley have returned representatives who voto against the suspension of Irish liberties, and everywhere angry protests are heard. When the agitation commenced an influential Tory organ suggested that meetings should be organised in support of the Government, but the Tories have failed to arrange counter demonstrations. They know that the country is against them, and that if they were to convene meetings hostile resolutions would be passed. Consequently nothing is done beyond publishing expressions of opinion from Tory clubs and Primrose Habitations. Such expressions of opinion are as balm of Gilead to the souls of Lord SALISBURY and Mr CHAMBERLAIN but Liberals know that they are utterly worth- less so far as being a gauge of public feeling on the great question of the day. In Wales dozens of public meetings have been held in condemnation of the Ministerial policy but we cannot call to mind a single open meeting at which a resolution has been adopted sup- porting the infamous Coercion Bill,

A PRETTY KETTLE OF FISH A pretty kettle of fish 1 When you lift the lid nothing is to be seen but a boiling, seeth- ing mass. If the parties interested in the operation don't burn their fingers, it will be due more to luck than management. There are two facts certain about the Schnaebele episode—he was arrested by the German Government, and is undoubtedly a French citizen. The rest ia veiled in obscurity. The whola dispute rests upon his seizure. Did the capture take place on French or German territory ? To solve this problem is a very ticklish queation. There are two nations facing one another with every desire developed to fly at each other's throats, and this incident appears to offer the pretext for which each i longing. La revanche is imprinted in the heart of every Gaul with a deeper brand than ever the loss of Calais inflicted upon Queen MARY. Statesmen hold their breath alarmed at the awful tempest which seems likely to be exorcised from this witches' cauldron. So fat the Frcnch press have been calm under this tremendous provocation, but the un- naturalness of the quietudo suggests the heavy lull which precedes a tropical storm. M. SCHNAEBELE is the French commissary, or police inspector, at Pagny-sur-Mosslle. According to one account the German police inspector at Ars-sur-Moselle pressed M. SCHNAEBELE to come across the frontier, as hs had something pressing to communicate. The moment, however, that he set foot on German ground ho was seized, handcuffed, and carried off to Metz. It is asserted on behalf of the Berlin authorities that the arrest was an ordinary judicial proceeding. 1\{, Schnacbele is accused of treason in inducing Alsatian soldiers to desert. But there is another side to this, as there is to every other ques- tion. The prisoner asserts that his capture was effected on French soil, aud, moreover, the balance of testimony so far is in favour of this supposition. The course of events will turn upon this hinge. Whether M. Scknaebelh is or is not guilty of the charges laid to his door is a minor point. Indeed, presuming that such is the case, and "that he was foolish enough under the circumstances to set foot acroS3 the border, he ha3 only himself to thank for the troubles which have befallen him. It seems hardly probable that Prince BISMARCK. would have placed himself in such a critical position as to illegally arrest a subject'of another power. He would hardly countenance a doctrine which would almost infallibly lead to war. Still it should be remembered that rumours have credited him with a wish to enter on a contest at once, and perhaps this is one of his diplomatic moves to precipitate the, crisis. And the delay which Is occurring over this business heightens the conjecture. Surely the bungling of a police officer should never be permitted to throw the continent into a disastrous campaign. No clearer case could exist for arbitration. But who will listen to the words of reason when each combatant is armed to the teeth? The danger attending standing armies 13 ever hovering over us. They must have occupation, and they catch like drown- ing men at any straw which will save them from extinction. Like the rest of mankind, they must be up and doing. Even if this peril is averted, a similar catastrophe is always on the cards. It behoves a genera- tion which is springing up to dig to the roots of this evil. Fair countries will be devastated and deluged in blood as long as bloated armaments are sustained. Moral force must be tised to compel a general disarmament. Without it we must ever be in fear of the innate pugnacity which lies—not dormant- in the human breast continually manifesting itself. Pressure must be exerted to restrain these moil of blood aud iron. The present difficulty is not without a warning tu us. Coercion is at the bottom of i\ Repressive measures have been in vogue in the conquered provinces, with the result that they are as much French to-day as they were sixteen years since. A policy of conciliation might havo rendered them amenable to the rule of Germany, but the opposite tactics have resulted, as they have elsewhere all over the world, in kindling sparks into flames, and in cementing the ties of consanguinity more firmly than before. Germany was unwiso when she annexed these provinces, blundered when she inau- gurated the laws of force, and will find that her anxieties will never cease until she does her duty, which nations as well as individuals owe to one another. But such considera- tions are rather for the future than the pre- sent. Europe is now anxiously awaiting the verdict-was M. Schnaebele on his own or German territory when arrested ? Upon the nature of the reply hangs the balance of Peace or War. m_-

SOUTH WALES CHAT. A more flagrant miscarriage of justice than that for which the magistrates sitting in petty sessions at Cardiff on Monday are responsible has surely seldom been heard of. One Thomas Marlay was placed in the dock on a charge of robbing his employer's till of 3" 2d. His advocate pleaded that there had been no felonious intent, but the facts were dead against him, and it is difficult to sea how the magistrates could have come to any other conclusion thau to convict. Being satisfied of the prisoner's guilt, why did they let him off ? 41 Punishment must be equivalent to the nature of the offence committed" is the dictum of Dr Pttine-a dictum which I venture to assert is wholly inconsistent with the practice as exempli- fied on Monday, If this case may be taken as a sample of Justices' justice at Cardiff, a person who wishes to thieve with impunity has simply to adopt the garb of so-called respectability, become a member of some religious denomina- tion, live in the affections of the congrega- tion to which he ibinigter-, and get two live town councillors to attend on his behalf when he is put upon his trial. I commend to the notice of the Cardiff justices the story of a. person who was indicted for stealing a pair of stockings. His advocate pleaded that he (prisoner) was a young man, well connected, and of good education, and therefore could not have committed the crime of which he was accused. Gentleman of the jury," said the recorder, the prisoner at the bar is a. young man, well connected, and cf good educa. tion. He stole a pair of stockings, and you will find accordingly." It is now notorious that the Jubilee finds signi- ficantly small support in Wales. Tho other day some one in Hafod said he detested the word Jubilee as he did the Devil. Pretty strong, in all conscience! Few of us can work ourselves up to a pitch of fury in condemnation of the Jubilee celebration, though we may manifest the utmost indifference. I am astonished at the opposition which is developing itself in the most unexpected quarters. Even in the Established Church there is nothing like the unanimity one might expect. At a recent meeting of clergymen a proposal was made in favour of some tangible proof of clerical loyalty. But the proposition fell like a shower bath. It damped tho ardour of the gathering. There was no spirit to take up jubilee rejoicings, and one parson actually protested that the Queen had not stood by the Church as she shollli have done. If she would contribute a year's income," continued this plain- spoken son of the Church, we should feel in- debted to her, and would go out of our way to further loyal celebrations." It was complained that the Queen refused to allow tho late Duke of Albany to enter the Church, which had never been very enthusiastically supported by the Royal Family. The clergymen separated without passing any resolution respecting the jubilee. I notice that at Swansea tho mayor's Salary is to be in- creased by £200, the money to be spent in feeding the poor. I see that the Pembrokeshire Association of South Wales and Monmouthshire Calvinistic Methodists have been discussing the jubilee. They decided not to be behind other bodies in testifying regard for the personal character of the Queen, and to present her Majesty with a dutiful address. But the discussion did not pass off with that perfect unanimity so dear to the pacific pastoral mind. An Abordara gentleman, it appears, suggested that in point of superbness the address should be equal to the occasion, and lie mentioned £100 as the probable cost of this bonbon to Royalty. Now the Calvinistic Methodist exchequer is sufficient for the needs of the day, and more but there are limits to its outflow, and it was urged that under the circumstances an address on plain paper would be suitable enough. I am not positive as to the definite result, but I am inclined to think South Wales Methodists will not offer incense to Royalty at so luxurious a rate as that which commended itself to Mr James. There are more deserving uses for £100 nearer homg than Windsor. v- V The Tories arousing the forged letter in a most unscrupulous manner. They are hawking it all over the country, evidently believing that the electors will swallow anything which tells against Ireland. It matters not that Mr Parnell hall denied the authenticicy of tho letter, and that the limes makes no effort to prove that it is a genuine production. Mr O'Neill Griffin, of Shakespeare- street, Roath, Cardiff, has shown me a couple of letters which lie received from Mr Parnàll a few years ago. One letter is written by Mr Parnell's secretary, and signed by the hon. gentleman, whilst the other is entirely in his handwriting. Appended is a facsimile of the signature to the latter letter. genuine SIGNATURE. The caligraphy differs entirely from that of the I signature attached to the forgery, thl\ following being a fac-simile:— THE FORGED SIGNATURR. f IrThis repudiation of tho authorship in the House of Commons, Mr Parnell stated that he writes slowly and with difficulty. It will be noted that his handwriting is cramped, whilst the forgery is penned in a rounder, more flowing style.

The latter amount will be distributed as a Christmas Drawing, the presentations being in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Cardiff Times. This journal has kept pace with the sur- prising development of modern newspapers, and now the Cardiff Times and South Wales Wetldy iVeuw enjoys a circulation far ex- ceeding that of any other paper published in the Principality. Indeed, there are very few daily or weekly journals issued in the pro- vinces which are so well supported, and can count on so wide a circle of readers.

THE JUBILEE DISTRIBUTION. The arrangements for the Jubilee Prizes will be in no way interfered with by the Christmas Distribution. As already an- nounced, for the twenty-four weeks between February 25 and July 16, each copy of the Cardiff Times and South IVales Weekly Noics will contain a Jubilee coupon, the coupons being numbered 1 to 24. The possession of twenty .of these coupons will entitle the holder to participate in the Grand Distri- bution for £ 100 in Money, As follows FIRST PRIZE £ 50 SECOND PRIZE £ 20 THIRD PRIZE £ 10 Fourth Prize jgg 9 9 Fifth Prize 1..

The coupons should be carefully preserved until twenty have been collected, and then they must be forwarded, with tlilv full name and address of the sender, directed "Jubilee Distribution, Cardiff Times Office, Cardiff." Each coupon must bt be from a different issue of the paper. Tha coupons will be numbered from 1 to 24. Persons must not make up the requisiU twenty coupons by sending more than one of the same number, otherwise they will be disqualified. No coupons should be forwarded until 20 are collected. The whole of the gifts are offered by the proprietors of this newspaper in honour of the great event of the year-the Jubilee of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. The distribution will take place in the presence of his Worship the Mayor of Cardiff.

THECHRISTMAS DISTRIBUTION.' The division of the large sum of J6200 will take place a few weeks after next Christmas -in the early part of January. The quali- fication necessary in order to participate in the distribution will be the possession of thirty-five of the "Christmas Drawing" coupons. Between March 12th and Decem- ber 31st, forty-one of these coupons will be issued, and readers must obtain thirty-five, taken from thirty-five separate numbers of the Cardiff Times and South Wales IVeeJcbj Neivs. Jubilee coupons cannot be used ic the Christmas distribution.
