OURSELVES AND THE POLICE.
OURSELVES AND THE POLICE. WE think that perhaps A few words of ex- planation may be due from us-not in the sense of an apology in any way but in order to put ourselves right with oar readers. Two weeks ago we animadverted pretty strongly on the conduct of the local police in reference to a gross nuisance which has b- en for a long time allowed to exist openly ill one of the most important streets in our town; and, mnrfinvfir. we in nlain language harged some -I of the police with being themsc ea guilty of conduct which was neither morr, nor lawful. As to the nuisance" complainc of, we have been thanked by the inhabitant of the dis- trict for so prominently calling attention to it, and exposing the laxity of t e police in the matter. We can now sa, he nuisance has considerably abated, if not entirely dis- appeared. However, to prevent its possible recurrence it behoves the par tie: Joncerned- who are the ratepayers and own 3 of proper- ty in Kinmel street-io at once port any ir- regularities to the police authorit 3, who,from an interview we had wjth them,v, ) can testify are most anxious to put down -I I causes of complaint by the public. Our charges against the police oreated con- siderable sensation in the town. The subject was discussed by most people, and we were told thut we conld not possibly have counted the costs in adopting the course we did. We adhered to our statements. Certain facts were brought to our notice by persons whose testimony could not be- gainaayed; and these we considered to be of so serious a nature that we determined to give them publicity in these calnmns. Last week we had intended pub- ishing—and indeed had actually "set up" in type-fuller details but shortly before going to press information reached us from a reliable iource that the matter bad been taken in hand by the superior officers connected with the force. Hence we did not consider it advisable GO publish the information. We believe we ire right in saying that the case against the )fficer who had most flagrantly transgressed 11 was fully proved, and that on Monday last he was dismissed from the force. This, we think, is sufficient to justify the course we adopted. The police are the servants of the public Gbey are paid and supported out of a public rate; and the public have a right to expect that they should not be less drunken nor less moral than an average member of the com- munity. A drunkeo and immoral constable is a veritable danger to the public interest; and we shudder to think how many innocent persons may possibly have been convicted,and consequently disgraced, on the unsupported evidence of such men. Of late many painful revelations have been made iu Loudon, Liverpool, Cardiff, and elsewhere, of want of integrity amongst the police and what may exist in other, though iarger towns, may also exist here. Again we say, that so long as our local police are above sus- picion in all their actions—whether off or on duty-they will receive at our hands that support and encouragement in the porformance of their arduous and not over-pleasant duties which they ought to receive from all good citizens.
In Stotas ani) nmmaxn
In Stotas ani) nmmaxn We are indebted to the Oswestry Adver- tiser for the following comparative state- ment of Conservative and Liberal gains and losses at elections since June 1887. Except where 1885 is mentioned the comparison is with 1886. CONSERVATIVE GAIWS. Winchester, majority increased by 179 Hornsey, „ >. (1885) 668 Dundee, Liberal majority decreased by 1,H2 Doncaster, seat won TTTTWRAT. GAINS. Brixton, Conservative majority reduced by 676 Dulwich, „ (1885) „ 282 Paddington, »> » 493 Basingstoke, >. (1885) 847 North Huuts »> (188a; » 79 Deptford „ ■»..>» 602 Forest of Dean, Liberal majority increased 143 Glasgow, „ >1 J Southwark, „ >> >> 1»U8 Coventry, seat won Spalding, 9) Nantwicli, Edinburgh. Thus it will be seen that the Liberals have advanced in 13 constituencies the Conser- vatives in 4. Two Metropolitan constitu- encies show a very encouraging advance in favour of Mr Gladstone's Home Rule policy- Southwark and Deptford. In the former the Liberal majority increased 1,081; while in Deptford, though the seat was not gained, the Conservative majority was decreased from 627 to 275 The loss of a seat at Doncaster is frankly admitted and though in this case, as also in the decrease of 1,142 in the Liberal vote at Dundee, explanations have been offered, the Liberals can well afford to accept ihi results, and rely contentedly on the an- m stakeable declaration of the bulk of the constituencies above referred to. At the adjourned Denbighshire quarter sessions last week, Major Leadbetter men. tioned a carious case. Some men were charged, at a former assize, with poaching, and police officers of the counties of Denbigh and Glamorgan gave evidence. The judge senteticed the prisoners to short periods of imprisonment, and declined to allow the expenses of the officers. Major Leadbetter said he had written to Mr Hesketb, of Gwrych Castle, the prosecutor, asking him to pay the money, but he declined. After a correspondence, lasting over twelve months, Mr Hesketh had paid the expenses of the Denbighshire police, but refused to do so in the case of the officers from Glamorgan. The Court held that they had DO jurisdiction in the matter. The sessions were adjourned] to Maich 13, for consideration of the ques- tion. ■ ♦ -— In the House of Lords on Monday the appeal arising out of the disputed election of Mr Mesach Roberts as Councillor ot the South Ward, Bangor, in 1886, was re-heard. The case, it may be remembered, turned upon) the question whether Mr Roberts, being at the time of the election an alderman of the borough, was eligible to stand as a councillor without having previously resigned his office J as alderman. Mr Malcolm Douglas, who appeared for the appellants on Monday, con- tended Mr Roberta was, by reason of his being an alderman, disqualified fu. election as councillor,as he could only resign his office in the prescribed manner, and not by accept- ing an incompatible office. The Lord Chan- cellor, on Tuesday, delivered judgement, which was against the appellants, with costs. The result was telegraphed to Bangor early on Tuesday afternoon, and gave unboanded satisfaction to the Liberals. The costs, which will be very heavy, will, it is said, have to be paid by the Conservatives, who urged Mr Pritchard on with the appeal. 0 To go on year after year giving unqualified praise to anything, as everybody who is honest must do in referring to the business of the Prudential Assurance Company, ex- hausts ono's stock of adjectives. For years we have announced, and have read in other papers, that the business success of this com- pany has far outstripped that of all former years. And now we can only reiterate the statement, for the directors of the Prudential Assurance Company have never laid before their constituency a more cheering report than the one that appears in another column of our issue to-day. It is short, it is true, but every paragraph and word in it attest the success of the company. This success is referred to as follows in the Commercial World As the result of the year's operations the company have added more than a million sterling to the accumulated funds. They began the year with X6,811,954, and ended it with £ 7,867,103, showing an addition of £ 1,055,149. This sum of course represents the joint saving of both branches of the com- pany's business. Adding to the accumulated fund at this extraordinary and unexampled rate, as compared with the additions made by other British companies, the prediction ndulged in some six or seven years ago, which at the time seemed bold and hazardous in the extreme, now seems highly probable of fulfilment namely, that the Prudential would be the first British life office to accumulate a fund of £ 10,000,000. For, if not actually the first to possess that amount, it will certain- ly not be far behind when that amount is owned by the only other British life office which at the present time can be said to be in the race, and that office is nearly twice the age of the Prudential. We have no space to deal fully with the ordinary and industrial branches of the com- pany, but can confidently recommend a per- usal of the figures in the report to every thoughtful reader. The company is repres- ented in Flintshire and Denbigh by Mr D. Owen, 32, Kinmel St., Rhyl, and a staff of two assistants and a number of agents. Since the above was written, information has reached us that the total assets of the company are above 28,000,000. ♦ A vacancy will shortly occur in the re- presentation of Rhyl on the Board of Guard- ians, in fact, notices are already posted on the church and chapel doors. By the way, it is high time this antiquated system of pub- lishing notices of a parochial nature should be abolished. Not one in a thousand see them, much less take the trouble to read them and hence it is that so little interest is taken, as a rule, in the election of guard- ians. The office is an important one in many respects. We have been fortunate in having <ood guardians for Rhyl and now that a I y vacancy occurs we should make the best se- lection jve possibly can. There is a gentle- man in our town, who is in every way thor- oughly qualified for the post. Mr Jaoob Jones has plenty ofleisore time, is intelligent, kind-hearted, a good financier, and well-in- formed on matters of Poor Law administra- tion. No doubt he would act, if elected; and his services would be valuable to the poor as well as the ratepayers.

FACTS AND FANCIES. COLOURS OF FIGHTING ANIMALS. It is during the moment of battle, and just before find after it, that the colours of all fighting animals become invariably most intense. The reason is plain; battle is joined during the mating season, and before the face of maidens and of dames;" and, as in human tournaments, the ladies stand by to. applaud the conquerors and to reward their prowess. They are themselves the prize of the encounter they stimulate. Besides, the highest physical vigour and the highest excitement bring out the greatest beauty both of men and animals. The angrier you make a mandrill, the more vividly tinted are hia cheeks and callosities. The frilled lizards and flying dragons glow with all the brightest colours of the rainbow when you tease or annoy them. The turkey cock swells his crimson wattles and spread* his ruffled feathers to the utmost at sight of a mis- chievous boy. There is a little hot-tempered fish known as betta pugnax, and kept as a sort of domestic pet by the Siamese (much as the Christian English gentle- man of forty or fifty years since kept fighting cocks) to display its prowess for the edification of the Mon- golian intelligence. "When in a state of quiet," says Cantor, "its dull colours present nothing remark- able but if two be brought together, or if one seen its own image in a looking-glass, the little creature becomes suddenly excited, the raised fins and the whole body shine with metallic colours of dazzling beauty, while the projected gill-membrane, waging like a black frill round the throat, adds something of grotesqueness to the general appearance. In this state, it makes repeated darts at its real or reflected antagonist. But both, when taken out of each other's sight, instantly become quiet." The fighting fishes, aa the Siamese call them, are kept in globes like gold fish, and fed from time to time with the larvae of mos- quitoes. The Siamese are as wild after their combats as the Malays are for cockfighting, and often stake large sums, or even the freedom of themselves and their families, on the prowess and skill of a particular Betta. The licence to exhibit fish-fights is farmed by Government, and brings in a considerable revenue to the King of Siam. -Cornhill Magazine. « DUEL BETWEEN TITLED LADIES. During the existence of judicial duelling inEuropean countries, ladies of rank were always to be found among the respectable spectators, and there have, been instances of the presence of women upon hostile fields since the prohibition of judicial duels, particu- larly in Italy and France. There are also records of hostile encounters between women, conspicuous among which was the duel with pistols between Lady de Nesle and the Countess of Polignac, in 1721, in the gardens of Versailles, France. The ladies had indulged in a most disgraceful quarrel two evenings before at a grand fete at the palace over the Due de Richelieu —the most wondrous character in the history of France-during which Lady de Nesle, losing all oon- trol of herself, sprang like a tigress at her rival, .and attempted to tear a diamond necklace from the coun- tess's neck. Failing in this, however, she snatched the blush roses from their nest in the snowy bosom and flung them in the face of her rival. Up to this time, says some English writer, the Countess of Polignac had kept down by a powerful effort the mighty rage which was inwardly consuming her; but this last indignity destroyed even outward calm, and, casting aside all further reserve, she attacked Lady de Nesle in the same way she herself had been assaulted. In a moment jewels, and flowers,and ribbons,and laces strewed the floor, and there is no telling to what extent the extraorcpnary exhibition would have gone had not the enraged amazons been separated by the Marquis de Malbuisson and Madlle. Nathalie de Condacet. Out of this grew the duel, the Countess de Polignac being the challenging party. The ladies met at six in the morning in July, 1721, and fired one shot at each other without effect. The seconds —the Marquis de Malbuisson and the Comte de Penthie.vre for Polignac, and M. de. Remusac and Vicomte d'AUagne for De Nesle-then rushed in to prevent further hostilities; the fair demons, how- ever, would not be appeased, but called for a change of pistols and again blazed away—this second time with satisfactory effect, for the marchioness fell dan- gerously wounded by a bullet in her left side, while the countess was slightly touched in an ear.
