LONDON, Monday.—There is still a small demand for 1888 hops for actual requirements, but the bulk of consumers are awaiting the result of the new growth, and prices remain nominally the same as last week. The plantation reports vary, but on the whole are not unfavourable, and promise better quality than last growth. Continental reports speak of a crop there rather above the average. WOOL. BRADFORD, Monday.—The quiet tone which has recently come over the market continues, and price?, though nominully firm, are inclining slightly in buyers' favour. There is still much confidence in the future, however, and sellers show great reluctance to make concessions. The export yaro trade remains inactive, and less is being done in manufactured goods. Machinery meanwhile keeps well employed.

TIDY FARMING. A Scottish landowner has taken the initiative in a most laudable work. He (Mr. Finlay, of Aberlour, Strathspey) has intimated that he will offer three prizes-L5, .£3, and L2-per annum for the next five years for the best-kept farm steadings; within the districts embraced by the Spey. Avon, and Fiddochside Farmers' Club. Mr Finlay recently purchased an estate- largely agricultural—on the banks of the Spey. Energetic and public-spirited to a degree, he is obviously to prove an acquisition to the district. Though not a practical agric- ulturalist, he seems to have pretty sensible notions of how a farm should be managed. In the selection of the Farm steading" as a benefitting subject of competition he has hit upon one of the weakest and most neglected sections of the average farm. Nor is this weakness peculiar to Strathspey. Mr Finlay might have with equal appropriate- extended his timely incentive to tidiness over the United Kingdom. Of course, some farms are better conducted than others, and, perhaps, leave little to be desired in the neat- ness of the steading or anything else. Many there are, however, in England, as well as in Scotland, which would greatly benefit, in appearance at least, from a little closer atten- tion to home details. Keeping the steading tidy does not cost the farmer- anything. It is quite as easy to have everything neat and tidy, as it is to heedlessly leave it unkempt. It may be supposed that continuous atten- tion to the steading is unnecessary and waste- ful. It is neither the one nor the other. There is positively profit in it, inasmuch as such attention is conducive, not merely to the durability of the buildings, but also the comfort of animals, the saving of fodder, and the proper utilisation of manure. Moreover, it has a moral influence upon the farmer, which the most unsentimental will readily admit. If a farmer keeps his steading neat and trim, it will inspire him with ambition to make his fields look well also, which is of course the true symbol of good husbandry. But the responsibility of keeping the steading tidy does not lie altogether with the farmer. If the buildings are defective or dilapidated, as they often are, it is difficult to make them tidy looking. At any rate, there is little pleasure in doing it, and before land- owners accuse their tenants of slovenliness, they would do well to consider whether they themselves are not in some measure account- able therefor. There is no excuse for the tenant who is well accomodated with farm buildings having everything topsy-turvy at any time of the year, but where the steading is unsatisfactory one can readi!y conceive that there is little encouragement to give it much attention. Mr Finlay's scheme, however, has our fullest sympathy. It is worthy of imitation. If it is succescful, as doubtless it will be, in bringing about an improved condition of matters on the farm, an excellent effect will be fully accomplished. We commend it to the consideration of the patrons of local agric- ultural societies on this side of the Border. Farmers are not ill to please as a rule with their buildings, which we think is a great mistake. Every farm should be fitted with good comfortable office-houses, and very possible encouragement should be given to keeping them well and their surroundings tidy. 0

STANDING JOINT COMMITTEES. As is well known, the Local Government Act provided for the appointment of a Standing Joint Committee, a body that was to consist of equal numbers of justices and of County Councillors, and was to be wholly independent of the County Council, as its proceedings were not to be submitted to the approval of that body. To this body were transferred the control of the police and the management of various matters in which the Council and the justices were jointly inter- ested, including the control of shire halls, county halls, assize courts, police-stations, and lock-ups. As might be expected, questions as to the power and duties of the Standing Joint Committee were not long in arising; and as to some, the Queen's Bench Division has just settled the law. Among other provisions of the Local Government Act, there is one providing that questions may he submitted to the Court to be determined in a summary way, and a difference having arisen between the County Council and the Standing Joint Committee for Somersetshire, the questions were submitted to the High Court for its determination. These questions raise and, it is to be hoped, settle several important matters of principle as to the Standing Joint Committees. The Shire Hall at Taunton is a freehold formerly belonging to the county, but trans- fered to the County Council. It contains the assize courts, petty sessions court, and judges' lodgings, which are furnished out of the county rates; there are also a number cf pictures, busts, etc., that have been presented from time to time to the county. The first question asked was whether the power of managing and maintaining the buildings, subject to providing accomodation for the police, justices, and clerks iji and out of sessions, belonged to the County Council or the Joint Committee, and, if to the latter, subject to any, and if so, what control by the County Council! To which body is transferred the duty of deciding on the necessity for additional buildings1 Can the Standing Joint Committee spend what they think right on the buildings without applying to the County Council, or only if the County Council make default in providing proper acommo- dationl Is the County Council or the Standing Joint Committee entitled to make rules and regulations for the management and control of the buildings 1 It will be seen that the points raised are of very general importance, and go to this- is the Standing Joint Committee independent of the County Council or not ? It was urged that if the matters were decided in favour of the Committee, then the Council was to carry out the Committee's orders, and that the committee was really the more powerful body of the two. W A pointed out in these columns, in the notes we published when the Local Government Act was passed, that the Standing Joint Committee would be the most powerful body in the County, and that all that the County Council would have to do would be to pay for what the Committee ordered, and that without any contest over it. This view is now declared to be law, as the judges, in deciding the Somersetshire case, clearly laid it down that the Joint Committee are to determine what expenditure is required, and the County Council are to find the money for it. They accordingly an- swered all the questions in favour of the Committee but the last, as to which they held each body could make standing orders, so far as their powers went; any questions as to whether either body had exceeded their power will have to come before the Court of determination. Mr Justice Cave states the law emphatically to be, that matters as to the accommodation or expenditure required for it are solely for the Standing Joint Com- mittee. All the Council have to do is to provide the money; they have nothing to do with the accommodation required by the Justi- ces or the police but to pay for it. It follows that this decision very materially curtails the power of County Councils in all the matters that come under the Standing Joint Com- mittee. The only duty of the Council is to pro- vide the money to carry out the Committee's decision, and this they must do whether they like it or not. It is easy to see how, if there, is any friction between the two bodies, this may give rise to some soreness, and it may be asked, how, then, are the Council to have any control over the Committee ? The answer is, they have no control. The Act intended the Com- mittee to be independent, and it is declared by the Court to be so. It the Council do not like it they can change their members, but they can do nothing else but obey. The difficulty has arisen from the confusion of terms in the Act. The Local Government Act talks of Joint Committees, and persons who are not conversant with the Act think that the Standing Joint Committee is only one of the series of joint committees named in the Act, and that the rules in the Act as to joint com- mittees apply to it. This is clearly not the case. The Standing Joint Committee is a creature of statute, and all its powers, duties, and authorities are derived from statute. The Council can neither add to them nor take them away. It is very doubtful indeed if the Chair- man of the Standing Joint Committee has a casting vote. It has been urged that as the Local Government Act expressly gives the Chairman of Joint Committees a casting vote, this gives it to the Chairman of the Standing Joint Committee; but that is a mistaken view, based upon a confusion between the term "Joint Committee" and Standing Joint Committee." The matter is of more import- ance than may at first appear, as in the Welsh County Councils the justices vote one way, the County Councillors the other, and the numbers being equal, the case of the Chair- numbers being equal, the case of the Chair- man's casting vote may, and will, arise. So far, we believe, the Chairman has given such a vote, but we doubt if any order that depended on such a vote would be valid; and probably one of the next questions that will arise will be this one-whether the Chairman of the Standing Joint Committee has a casting vote in the case of equality, or does the House of Lords' rule that in the case of equality it is resolved in the negative prevail I We are great believers in the American saying, Never prophesy unless you know," but we venture to think that the House of Lords' rule will be the one that will be decided to be law. If it is, the law will have to be altered, as the affairs of the Welsh Standing Joint Committees will before long reach a dead- lock. We are glad that the High Court has laid down the rule defining the position of Standing Joint Committee and the County Council. We desire to point out that the Standing Joint Committee will do well to con- sider the responsibility this decision casts on them. The Local Government Act provides, if the police force of a county are not kept in a state of efficiency the Government monies will be withheld, and a heavier burden will have to be borne by the ratepapers. The accomodation of the force is one of the matters taken into consideration in certifying as to I the efficiency of the force, and the default of providing efficient accommodation by the p i-ovi ing Standing Joint Committee may leave the County Council in considerable pecuniary difficulty. It will be all very well for noisy spouters at the County Council to say they object to pay the monies the Standing Joint Committee may spend on the police in order to obtain popularity, but when the ratepayers realise that the result of these exhibitions really raises their rates 2d., 3d., or 4d. in the £ a year, it is doubtful if they will regard the speaker with favour, even in the most Radical county of Radical Wales.-Land and Water.

INFANT INSURANCES. The Report of the Select Committee on Friendly Societies was issued on Saturday. The Committee state that public sympathy and indignation having been aroused by recent cases which have come to light, in which the money insured for on the death of infants appears to have acted as an incentive to neglect and even to murder of children, the Committee directed their inquiries with special care to this branch of the subject. Several witnesses, including two Coroners, expressed a strong belief not only that infant insurance is an incentive to crime, but that a widespread system exists, under which much neglect, cruelty, and crime takes place with impunity. From the nature of the cases it is almost impossible to obtain direct and inculpating evidence of criminality of this character, which is chiefly committed by a single individual in the privacy of home. The Committee believe that sufficient pre- cautions are wanting to prevent larger sums than those authorised by the Act being insured for and paid on a child's death; the Committee add that many statistics have been submitted to them on the subject of infantile insurance; but they are not disposed to base any recommendation upon them one way or the other, owing to the difficulty of drawing therefrom a safe conclusion as to the general value of the system of assurance by companies and societies depending on paid collectors. Among various recommendations as to the future management of industrial insurance companies and societies, to be embodied in an Act of Parliament, the Committee recommend that the Registrar of Friendly Societies' chief office shall be constituted and termed The Central Office," which shall have certain control over the management of the organisations that it shall not hereafter be lawful to assure any child under ten years of age in more than one society or company; that it shall not be lawful for any society to which the proposed Bill shall apply to use the term friendly society nnless prefixed by the word "collecting that no person under 16 years of age shall become a member of a collecting society, and that all the societies shall be registered. With regard to infantile and juvenile insurance, the Committee recommend that the age for the insurance of juveniles be raised from ten to 16.

THE TONGUE. The boneless tongue, so small and weak, Can crush and kill, declared the Greek. The tongue destroys a greater horde," The Turk asserts, ''than does the sword." The Persian proverb wisely saith, A lengthy tongue-an early death," Or sometimes takes this form instead, Don't let your tongue cut off your head." The tongue can speak a word whose speed," Says the Chinese, outstrips the steed." While Arab sages this imparl, The tongue's great storehouse is the heart." From Hebrew wit the maxim sprnng, "Though feet should slip ne'er let the tongae." The sacred writer crorfns the whole, Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul."

LEWIS .MORRIS TO LORD TENNYSON. ON HIS EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY, AUGUST 6, 1889 Master and friend! too swift on noiseless feet Thy hurrying decades fleet with stealthy pace; Yet not the less thy voice is clear and sweet, And still thy genius mingles strength with grace. On thy broad brow alone and reverend face Thy fourscore winters show, not on thy mind. Stay, Time, a little while thy headlong chase; Or passing, one Immortal ieue behind, For we are weak, and changeful as a wind. For him long since the dying swan wonld sing, The dead soul pine in Bfftendid misery. He winged the legend of the blameless King, And crossed to Lotasland the enchanted sea, Heard the twin voices strive for mastery; Faithful and faithless, and with prescient thought Saw Woman rising in the days to be To heights of knowledge in the past unsought; These his eye marked, and those his wisdom taught. And he it was whose mnsing ear o'erheard The love-tale sweet in death and madness end; Who sang the deathless djtege, whose every word I, Fashions a golden statute for his friend. May all good things hi. waning years attend! Who sang of Rizpah mourning for her dead, Or in vetse sweet as pitying Ruth could lend The childish sufferer OA her hopeless bed Thoughts, pure and high, of precious faney bred. His it is still to scan with patient eye The book of Nature, writ with herb and tree; The bads' of March unfold, the lush flowers die, When sighs of Autumn wail o'erland and sea, And the great orbs whieh wheel from age to age. Cold, unregarding fires that seem to blight All yearning hope and chill all noble rage; And yet were dead, and void, may be, of light, Till first they swam upon a mortal's sight. Master and seer, stay yet, for there is none Worthy to take thy place to-day, or wear Thy laurel when thy singing-days are done. As yet the balls of song are mute and bare, Nor voice melodious wakes the tuneless air, Save some weak, faltering accents faintly heard. Stay with us; neath thy spell the world grows fair; Our hearts revive, our inmost souls are stirred, And all our English race awaits thy latest word

HURRY AND WOBRT.—The wear and tear of life does not leave ns as it finds us. Brain and body would soon yield to the strain of this high pressure age, if there was not within the reach of the worker something to sustain and soothe.

Should the mode- rate cost of a cap of tea be bestowed with a grudg- ing hand: is a stingy habit always to attach itself to°the teapot: viewing the inestimable value, and never failing benefit of tea ? Cherish the neces- saries of life; and endeavour to discover the best. List of Agents in this locality —Carmarthen, E. J. Williams, Chemist, 7, Guildhall-square; J. H.
