--... BAR6AIN~AND BLUFF.
BAR6AIN~AND BLUFF. Lord Stanley of Alderley is to be congra- tulated on putting in three words the Church of 'England policy with respect to public educa- tion. 'IBargain and bluff" is destined to live in the popular mind as easily and as long as "'Beer and Bible." Sometimes it is left to an old hand like Mr Chamberlain to do the bluffing, leaving the 'Bishops to undertake the bargain- ing. Occasionally, however, the wearer of the lawn sleeves performs the double duty—and, it must be admitted, with undoubted ability in each department. We shall have, for instance, an example of the "bluff" when the Bishop of St. David's visits Carnarvon next week, and of the episcopal talent for "bargaining" when the Education 0111 goes up to the (House of Lords. Mr Chamberlain assures us that the Educa- tion 'Bill will never pass. He may be right, and probably is. For the prophet of (Birming- ham knows whereof he speaks. Not that he hopes that he and his ordinary colleagues, re- inforoed by his. extraordinary allies of the Irish party, will be able to defeat the Government in the 'House of Commons. That he admits, to be a hopeless task. But Church and Unionist hopes are founded on a firmer rock—the shame- lessly partisan character and composition of the HouSQ-of Lords. The Upper Chamber is more Tory and more Church than any bench of magistrates—oven in Wales. The Government has brought in a. Bill providing for the repre- sentation of brains rather than pocket on the Commission of the Peace, from which much may be expected in the future. It will have to alter the whole character of the composition of the House of Lords before that Chamber can be made into anything higher or better than a sub-committee of the Carlton Club. It was this knowledge which enabled Mr Chamberlain to speak so confidently that the Education Bill would never be passed. lWhen he went on to cay that we shall, there- fore, have a. General Election again in the spring of next year, he argued upon unknown premises. One party, that to which Mr Cham- berlain has for 20 years had the dishonour of belonging, may, through its agents in the House of Lords, wreck .tha Education Bill. it requires the consent of the other party of which he once was, but fortunately for it no longer is, a member, to bring about a dissolution. The Prime Minister will choose his own time and occasion for another appeal to the country— and will do so without any reference to Mr Chamberlain's wishes. If Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman should think that the rejection by the Lords of the People's Charter of educational liberty the best occasion on which to ask once more the opinion of the nation, he will do so, not because it accords with Mr Chamberlain's wishes, but because he thinks it the best step to take. It on the other hand, he thinks it better to let the Lords fulfil the measure of their iniquity by affording them, the oppor- tunity of throwing out, say, a Trades Union Bill demanded by the Labour party, a Land Reform Bill demanded by the agricultural community, a Taxation^of Land Values 'Bill demanded by every urban community, and a Disestablish- ment 'Bill demanded by the 'Nonconformists, Sir Henry will simply sit tight, and let the Lords go on playing their game of wreckers until the country is aa ripe to sweep the Peers from Parliament, as it already is to banish the iParson from the School. Lord Stanley of Alderley, however, is by no means sure that the Peers. are quite such fools as Mr Chamberlain still thinks them, to be. The Lords, said Lord Stanley, would not go further than the 'Bishops would ask them to go—and he had his doubts whether the Bishops would seek the destruction of their only remaining City of 'Refuge. The old .episcopal game of bar jam and bluff" would, Lord Stanley thought, he the episcopal order of the day. The Bishops are such adepts at the game, and in their hands it has already proved so successful on many occasions in the past, that it is far from beinnr improbable they will, as Lord Stanley thinkf, again resort to it. And, if the truth must be told, they haYA just now an excellent opportunity for playing the game effectively. The Government, by its indiscretion in offering tfiem so much, has afforded them both an opportunity and aIJ: ex- cuse for demanding more. Clause 2 of the Education Bill, which will come up for dis- cussion in the Commons on Monday next, gives the Church too much and costs the ratepayer* too much. 'In order to get rid of the Parson, the ratepayers are asked to pay an annual rent for, and to undertake the structural improve. ment and repairs of every ramshackle Church school building in the country. Towards tbia end, a Government endowment of a million, supplemented by County Council endowment of another half-million a year, is offered1 to the Church—and the Church will still enjoy practic- ally unrestricted use of the buildings for aU Church purposes exactly as at present. This is not good enough for the Bishops—1 hence their present "bluff." Next week, some of their subordinate ajjents is the Heujse of Commons will begin the "bargain" part of the game. Lord1 Robert Cecil, Mr Evelyn Cecil, •S'ir W illiam Anson, and half a dozen others, have already made "offers" in the form of what they call "amendments" to Clause 2. Some of these "amendments" would make it a part of the "bargain that the County Council should, in addition to what the Government proposes in Clause 2, undertake to do also the follow- ing little things;- 1. The County Council to undeitalce only such repairs, in the Church K-hooi buildings as the Parson may require. 2. The County Council to undertake no structural ur other alteration which would prevent the Parson using the schoolroom "ft r divine service." 3. The County Council to let the parson undertake all the repairs, but the County Council to pay all bills for the same. 4. The County Council to undertake to allow the Catechism and other Church formu- laries. to continue to be taught in all Ciiui ii Schools exactly as at pioent. I 5. The County Council, towards this end, to undertake to engage Churchmen on the staff of these schools to give_Church instruc- tion during school hours. 6. The County Council to throw open the door of every Council School wide open to welcome the Priest and the Parson t.o teach during schoo! hours the formularies of their Church to such children a^. they can induce to attend their classes. These are a part of the "bargain" towards securing which the game of "bluff" is being so persistent! v played just now by Bishop and Curate and all the intermediate grades. The game has succeeded before, and may again. If it does, then the ratepayers will well deserve all they get—or rather all they lose—by so I manifestly one-sided a bargain

TOWN AND COUNTRY NOTES.
TOWN AND COUNTRY NOTES. The presentation to the Rev Evan Jones, Moriah, on his retirement from the pastorale of that church, was a most, popular event. Mr Jones has for close upon forty years been one of the foremost men oi Welsh Nonconformity, and his activities has been quite as conspicu- ous in the political life of his country as within the confines qf his own religious denomination. He isnA man of fine character, holds! advanced views, and his fought w.ith remarkable vigour for the Disestablisment of the Church for several years. It is a great pity that a seat in Parliament could not be found for such a dis- tinguished exponent of Welsh aspirations. | The Mayor of Carnarvon ,performed a. public du,ty "wlhen, on Tuesday, he called attention to the §fipshodi fashion in whioh the Town Council too frequently performs its work. R.- commendatioos, frequently of an important nature, involving it may be injustice to in- divtidual6 or to ratepayers, come up ae a. mat- ter of form, and are passed not only without discussion, bttf-wSfJioHt even tibe semblance of consideration. The particular matters to whidh the Mayor d'irecTect attention on Tues- day are caaes ia jxfiat. Tha Town Council, ia one of those fits of zeal which occasionally, or semi-occasicxnally seize it, has recently been thinking of Town Improvemenlts. By a. com- mon sense arrangement wirtlh the National Provincial Bank, for instance, it will be en- abled to vastly improve one of the most iim- poriant and certainly tihe most dangerous en- trance infto Gaatle-square.

The town was visited by hun- di-eds from the neighbouring towns, and tha country places, yet it i.s said tha.t tihe gate was not as large as usual, owing too other attrac- lions in the district. However, t'he sports were well patronised, andl the officials dis- charged their duties excelllentiy. There is no more, fertile ground for discus- sion at meetings of. Anglesey rural authorities than the question of wells. In the Far East tire, man who digged a well was counted worthy of fame, but those wiho have performed a like service in Anglesey have not been imortaiised. The wells of Ce>ma%s—a remote and romantic village—have not been considered satisfactory, according to the latest reports, and the matter is to receive attention. A suggestion is made that water should be obtained in bulk at Valley, from the mains between Llyn Traffwyll and Holyhead, amd carried in pipes to Cemaes. It is said to be quite possible to supply Llan- fachiath, Llanckleusant, and other villages as well. rrho question could be considered, even if the way to its adoption is not opeo at pre- » Those who reside in Anglesey have reason to be proud^pf the success of the Llanrhyddladl tEiiteddfod 001 WIhit-Manda-y.

In order that the ladies might not feel neglected, and to enlist the interest of the superior sex in rawing a<n<i sail- ing, it might be found conv^jient to ha.ve a ladies' regatta, or, at least, some special races in whioh they might oompeta.

Birclianij the Local Government Board Inspector, attended a. meeting of the Conway Board of Guardians, on Friday, for the last time in his official capacity, a.nd de- livered his valedictory address, which proved instructive and interesting to the members. The rate of pauperism, Mr. Bircham assured ttihe Boaaxl, had diminished during the last ten I years 13 per cent., though the actual number of pa/apere was 150 more, than it was ten years ago. But the incretwse in the, population during the same period was 38 per cent., so thai the decrease in tine rate of pauperism ie not so satisfactory as one would have desired, Nevertheless, it will bear favourable com- j rnarison with other unions in North Wales. Mr. ,t' Birchaim said he would like to see the pauper- ism in the Conway Union go down to two per cerat. Superficially, that would appear to be satisfactory; but I cannot help thinking that there is something radically wrong in a system which implies thaft two out of every hundred residents in the Conway Union should be paupers. In North Wales pauperism had gone down 20 per cent., and the expenditure had increased one per canit.. During bis term of office, Mr. Bircham has consistently advocated the de^rafoiliiiy of bringing up the children outside the workhouse, so as not to familiarise them with run institutio.n that they would in «fter-life return to aa if it were their home. It was a fitting climax to his address that he should, on his last official visit, emphasise that view on the Guardians: "I have always," he remtajrked, found Conway Workhouse .ex- ceediingly clean and apparently well kept in every way, but I would like to see the chil- dren taken away." While he would not press the Board m regard to that matter, owing to j the large expenditure recently incurred, he trusted that the new inspector would not be an old man before the change was effected." Let us hope so. At length the Llandudno Urban. District Council seems to ha.ve got over their difficulty with regard to the letting of the Happy Valley. At the next meeting of the Council the Bye- Laws Committee will recommend that the offer of Mr. W. J. Churchill,, the well-known comedian, be accepted. (Mr. Churchill1 offers an annual rent of JB310, as compared with £150 paid at present.

Very few daily newspapers are published whose columns do not contain the latest "tips" concerning hor.,e ra.cing, etc., the latest ar- rivals, and the probaUe starters. This, they say, is essential to the financial success of the respective concerns That, undoubtedly, is true to a very large extent, and although it may appear very innocent in itself, it is an undeniable fact that it offers a great temptation to a certain class of the public. Efforts have been made. to check the evil of betting and gambling, but without avail. It is difficult to know which is the most hideous sin, the action of the working man in placing his shilling on a particular horse, qr that of a man in a higher station in life in gambling in shares and stocks on the Exchange. Again, what is the compara- tive relation of the extortioner, who, as is too often the case, holds a prominent position in our religious communities, and the workman who planks down his inoney, after he has lost, in an honourable manner. Further, what can be the relation of the tradesman who sells shoddy goods to his customer as a o^nuinto article and a gambler, or between an employ of labour who compels his staff to work until midnight on a Saturday night, and scolds them because they. fail to attend Sunday morning service! I must not "bo understood as defending betting nor gambling, because I believe both to be a curse. I simply call attention to the matter, because Mr J. P. Griffith has given notice of motion for the next meeting of the Conway Free Library Committee that he will movw "that all betting news columns in the papers supplied at the library be obliterated." No doubt, Mr Griffith's motion will be carried. But why not attack the evil in 'all its aspect6, even going so far as to denounce the &.ock Ex- change speculations by men of light and lead- ing To obliterate the betting news from this daily newspa.pers ie only touching the merest fringe of the question. Will Mr Griffith gQ ao iar as to obliterate the Stock Exchange quotas tions? If not, why not"' [ Now that the season is commenced in earnest, there are already indications at both Colwyn Bay and Llandudno that the touting nuisance is likely to cause some trouble I must admit, candidly, that it is becoming intolerable in some pla,ces in Llandudno. I refer in particular tp some of the eating-house keepers^ who ought to be possessed of sufficient dignity as not to harass people with their cards and cries, as they pass hy..Several of the touters are pro- tected becau&s they conduct their reprehensible tactics from private grounds, where it is im- possible to summon them for obstruction. With regard to hackney carriages, the authorities of both towns would do well to govern with a strong hand, and to emulate the Corporation. of COnwa^ by giving explicit instructions to their inspectors to prevent touting among«^ab- men in every shape and form. The good: government and the reputation of JLlandudm* and Colwyn I>jy demand that thia should be deue. Conway ought IQ prove a groat said coin- venlent centre for successful fairs and sales. It is on the main line ajid within easy reah of Anglesey, most of Carnarvonshire, a.nd a* large portion of Denbighshire. The Conway* fairs have, practically, disappeared, the chief reason perhaps being the monthly sales 000.. ducted at the Talycafn Mart by Messrs. R. and Roger Jonoo.. During recent yea.T6: th. Town Council have been fostering and encour- aging honey and butter fairs, and the experi- ment has proved an unqualified success in every respect. Their next action is to encour- age the establishment of honsie fairs and sales in the town, and with this obpect in view they have instructed the Market Hall keeper to recommend a. suitable place for the holding of such fairs. Your readers will, I feel sure, join me in wishing the project every possible success, if it will bring in its trail more pros- pects to the noighibouring toWD. The English Wcsleyans of Colwyn Bay have attained a most remarkable achievement, and they deserve the warmest congratulations of all who evince an interest in the religious life of the town and district. Not only did they enter most heartily into the movement for raising the million guineas asked by the Wesleyan connexion as a Twentieth Century Fund, and .contributed nearly 90Qf guineas to its ex- chequer. but they built a commodious and beau- tiful new chapel at Nantyglyn, at a cost- of over JB4000. The edifice was formally opened twelve months ago, and last week it was de- clared free of debt. The R^v H. Elderkin is a oapable minister, and it is due to his energy and untiring zeal that sudh an extraordinary; result has been accomplished.

The writer who contribute^ the articies on ColwynBay to the "Liverpool Courier" con- tinues his campaign with the same recklessness as he exhibited in his previous writings. His latest "Tuesday" morning composition is a re- hash of his old argumenis, and a conglameration of phraseology and mis-statements. The writer says that "the rulers of the place, whim Sir Evorard Cay lay was supposed to lyeec, did not include the acting-chairman and his col- leagues, and he significantly adds that th».y are too well aware who the- real rub. In other words, the ^presentation of the rate- payers are simply dummies returned to i-j and act as they are bid ha t an boti nr/icie n- el- tion to occupy? The writer of the "Courier's" article may take it from me that Colwyn Bay councillors are not the innocent fools he would make the public believe them to be. They are sound and shrewd business men, and far too alert in the interests of the public to suit some people. He suggests, through the medium of & question, that it was Mr GeoTge Bevan who had an interview with Sir Everard Caylay. Yes even the "Chancellor of 'the Exchequer" was similarly ignored by the baronet. He did "not even have a. look at him." The whole article is based on baseless accusations of a similar character.
