GOVERNMENT INQUIRY AT DKNUIGH.—On Wed- nesday, Mr Terry, Local Government Board inspector, held an inquiry at Denbigh relative to the wish of the Council to borrow XI,200 to purchase land for a cemetery. Opposition was raised to the site by Major Lloyd Williams, one of the churchwardens, on the ground that it was in the wrong situation, was expensive, that the character of the land was un- suitable, and that in the graves dug to test the soil six feet of water had been found. On the other hand, it was contended that the land was cheap, most suitable as to situation, and could be excellently drained, and was the best of several sites offered, and ample for all purposes. The commissioner inspected the site and the present churchyard, which is nearly full, and pro- mised to report. TO ADVERTISERS.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13TH. 1880. THE COMING BATTLE. THAT" coming events cast their shadows before is a truth of almost universal appl;. cation, we need not attempt to demonstrate Every man has verified it in his own experience, or may do so by keeping his eyes open. We are constantly stepping upon the shadows of some approaching event of more or less import- ance in our personal histories, or in those oi our neighbours, or of the country in general, revealing in rough outline the nature, form and proportions of the substance which is moving towards us, and which contains wrapped up within itself a good deal of some- thing that will affect us very materially for weal or for woe. In the cou ntry at large there is no question perhaps so much discussed at the present time as that of the next election. What will the new Parliament be like P Will it be Conservative or Liberal ? What side will the newly enfranchised voters take? Supposing that the result will turn out to be the squeezing of the Tories into a much smaller space than they have ever yet occupied in the management of the affairs of this country, will the repre- sentatives of the democracy completely lose their heads and go in for a down-with-every- thing policy, or will they falsify the apprehen. sions of the timid, and justify the confidence of the men of faith? These are the questions which are being asked and answered up and down the country. The speeches, conferences, sittings of boundary-commissioners, meetings of Liberal and Conservative Associations, reorganisations, and all the rest of it, are the shadows, flitting about us in never-ceasing activity, which ought to warn us of the very important event which is approaching. The Liberal Association of Carnarvonshire met a fortnight ago, to consider the situation generally, and to make what arrangements are necessary for the furtherance of the great principles of Liberalism in this county. Under the new condition of things created, or about to be created by the new Reform Bill, it is felt that the old Association needs reconstruction upon a more extended basis. The question of most importance was naturally whether there should be a separate association for the two divisions of the county and for the boroughs, or whether there should only be one as here- tofore. As far as we have been able to gauge public opinion upon the question, we should say it is decidedly in favour of the former proposal. The voters of every constituency will naturally feel a more direct and intense interest in their own affairs than in those of a neighbouring constituency, though forming a n t3 part of the same county, and will naturally resent the interference of any outsiders in the choice of their respective representatives. A Central Association might be constructed out of the three separate branches for certain general purposes, to which no one could possibly object. In fact, the organisation scheme appears to settle itself so naturally in this particular manner that it would be folly to attempt to thwart the natural development. The question of selecting candidates was, of course, not proceeded with. It could not be done pending the new arrangements. Mr Rathbone, with that magnanimity and unselfishness which always characterise liim, placed himself abso- lutely at the disposal of the electors, but went so far as to show cause why it would be advan- tageous for everybody concerned that he should be selected for the northern division of the countv. His two chief reasons were that the English language prevails more generally in the North than the South, a.ud that therefore he would be more capable of communicating his own thoughts to the constituency; and, secondly, that in all probability the contest iujthe North would be a more severe one than that in the South, and, being the man in possession, he would, by so much at least, be the better able to cope with the opposing forces than any new comer. These reasons will, doubtless, appear suffi- ciently weighty in the eyes of those upon whom will devolve the duty of makirg the selec- tion. As Mr Jones-Parry is determined to cling to his present seat, the new candidate will have to be selected by the electors of the southern division, which ought to be done as soon as the machinery for doing so can be formed and set in motion. It is highly important that this should be done with but as little delay as possible. When a strong man has been selected, he will have a little time to make the acquaintance of the electors in public meetings, 1 Z5 the ranks will be closed up for the fight, it will serve to remove any false hopes that may be entertained by any particular person anxious to represent the constituency, and will in every sense tend to consolidate the party and we do trust that whenever a candi- date has been rightfully chosen, that no one will attempt to split the party by any unwise action of the independent type. The result of the next election, as far as C irnarvonshire is concerned, can hardly admit of a doubt, if the party is united. The new voters will form a strong contingent for the ljiberal ranks and what is true of Carnarvon- shire is true of every county in Wales. We should like to see the whole representa- tion of Wales for once appealing in its true colour. It ought to be so, and it will be something like a disgrace to us if it is not so. There ought not to be a single vote from Wales against the Disescablishment of the Church in Wales in the next Parliament. Nothing would have a more wholesome effect upon the British Parliament than a united vote upon the question. We are not without hope that the miserable squabbling witnessed uid recorded from day to day and from week • i) week throughout the Principality during he last few months, years, in fact, is nearing ts termination. Mr Bright, in his great speech at Birmingham the other day, whilst emitting that perhaps the question was ripe for settlement in Wales and Scotland, did not seem to think that in England the time had .vet come for removing this standing grievance. From this we may learn, at least, one impor- tant lesson, that the unreadiness of England will, as far as it goes, be a stumbling-block in he way of Wales. It will require a greater imount of energy on the part of Wales to bring the question to the front, and compel attention. There are so many other great ques- tions pressing for attention, in which all parts d the kingdom are united in their demand, that a great measure, dealing with only a parti- cular part of the country, and that a small oatt, the inhabitants of which have been hitherto very tame and easily set aside, will have but little chance of being carried. There is only one way of accomplishing it. The people must lay aside their tameness and put on the garb of strong resolve and fearless de- termination.
---,----------MENDACIOUS REPORTING.
MENDACIOUS REPORTING. IT is admitted on all hands that the Press is one of the most powerful agents in the formation and guidance of public opinion in the present day. lime was, and that not very long ago, when its 0 influence was comparatively limited. That was the time when the newspaper was a luxury in which only the rich could afford to indulge. Since, however, the inauguration of the penny Press, it has come to wield an immense in- fluence upon public sentiment. How important then it is that the pabulum it supplies to the public should be of the right quality. A feature of paramount importance in present day journal- ism is reporting-the supplying to the public & correct history of the various movements which make up public life, political and social. It cannot from the nature of the case but be of the utmost importance that this department of journa- listic work should be discharged conscientiously. Report should contain the truth, the whole truth, if possible, but certainly it should have nothing but the truth. It is the reporter's province to deal with facts simply, not to ex- press opinions or draw conclusions. Others may draw conclusions or form opinions from the facts as stated; but his business is simply to narrate what he may be eye or ear witness to. This is a f ict of vast importance to tile public, who expect and pay to be correctly infoimed. It will be an evil day for journalism when the public loses faith in its impartiality and honesty in this re- spcct. We are induced to write this from having noticed of late in some of our contemporaries-and jve might as well say it honestly, our Conservative contemporaries-a serious lapse in this matter of honest and impartial reporting. Latterly we have seen reports of movements, especially if they are of the Liberal order, shamefully inaccurate and therefore misleading.
