SHOULD LIBERALISM SPEAK. MR C. H. WILSON, the Liberal M.P. for West Hull, has addressed a letter to the Westminster Gazette, telling in plain terms what are the signs of the times. It is an appeal from England drunk to England sober. He says aloud what hundreds of people have been quietly thinking. Of course, Tories will talk of disloyalty, but there is a duty of great importance to the future interests of the Empire that calls for some pronouncement respecting the present crises. Mr Wilson is not an advanced man, but a representative of the most cautious and steady-going wing of the Liberal party, and his attitude is similar to that of Mr Bryn Roberts on the question. I have watched with interest (he says), the political life of Mr Chamberlain. It was his duty to have known and stopped the Jameson Raid; it was his duty and that of the War Office to have known the pre- pared state of the Boers for war. Every office boy, even at the Continental ports- Antwerp, &c.-has known of the enormous shipments of war material for the Transvaal. If the Jameson Raid had been stopped as it should have been (the pretension of ignorance is no excuse), it was well known in London if we had not ihterfered, through the action of our Government, with the Boers in their own country this war should not have occurred; if, on the other hand, as is now said, it was inevitable, we should have been prepared for it, and not have seen our men led to slaughter. But what is to happen? By straining the resources of this country we can compel submission on the part of the Boers, but what then? Are the goldfields of South Africa and the diamond mines of Kimberley what we are fignting for ? If not, why not end, if possible, this fratricidal war?" There are times (says the editor of the Speaker) when Liberalism is not to speak in broken accents and patriotism in broken English." Thus is emphasised one of the most painful characteristics of our time. The Observer is hinting at the resignatian of the Ministry, and the Daily Mail pro- poses a re-construction of the Ministry. These are but signs of the change from madness to sanity. But (as the Echo appositely puts it) through what seas of blood have we had to wade to find sobriety THIS dreadful South African war has all but driven everything else out of mind but the leader of the Liberals in the Commons found time to refer to domestic matters the other evening at Aberdeen. Speaking on behalf of the party on the temperance i question, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman said we might at any rate do something to improve the present position. It was not possible to deal with England and Scotland alike. In Scotland the people are much more advanced than in England both in legislation and in public sentiment as regards temperance questions. In Scotland they were ripe for direct local control, but it was not so in England. The qnestion, then, was should Scotland wait for England? Was there no way out of the difficulty? Sir Henry believed there was, and that the report of the majority of the Peel Com- mission might serve as a basis for an agree- ment which would satisfy every practical mind. Sir Henry thought compensation which should be given to those who were deprived of their licences should come from funds provided by those who were allowed to retain their licences. As to other social reforms, the Liberal leader expressed the confident belief that our party would put an end to monopoly and privilege where it was found to be injurious to the public interest, and endeavour to secure to every man the best conditions of life, and so far as could be done by laws and customs, to secure for him also an equal chance of a useful and happy life.

OUR FIGHTING OUTFIT. ONN thing the South African war has proven. Over all things certain this is sure indeed; we are net iaearly-or we have not been nearly i -as well equipped for meeting any odds in land warfare as the nation expected. Up to now we have failed at almost all points against the Boers, because of the inadequacy of our artillery, as well as the shortness of cavalry. Our infantry has no superior; and the force that Clt,n stand a British bayonet charge wb.n our men number anything near what they should do for the work undertaken, has yet to be sought, or ut,any rate has not been found up to now. What we have aiainlv wanted is a better artillery outfit; more effective guns and and a far greater equipment of them. Then many of our officers at their best, especially in artillery practice, are hardly as brilliant—or, at any rate, as reliable— as we should like to see them. We make no invidious mention and name no onp, but support for < ur argument can be gained from the perusal of the accounts of recent battles. The ttuth of the matter is that such things as Army outfit and the like are left far too muoh to red-tape departments and permanent officials, and the taxpayer and his direct representatives do not look after them as they should do. An astute and able correspondent of a contemporary, who has been devoting very serious attention to this matter, as all of us ought to be doing now, says, truly enough, that it absolutely needs some sharp lesson, such as the South African war, to bring home to the average Triton the fact that in peace times our preparations for war are not always as well considered as they ought to be. The lesson is a costly one but better that it should be learned now than at a more critical time. Ever since the despatch of troops to the Cape began naval experts have persistently pointed out the mischief caused by the utireadiness of the Admiralty to perform the part allotted them under the absurd system of dual control which makes one Government department responsible for getting troops to- gether and another for transporting them to the seat of war. The shortcomings of the Ad- miralty in this respect are matters now of general admission. Then, as to artil- lery, it is claimed, and claimed truly, that for years past the utter useless- ness ef our field artillery has been repeatedly pressed upon the notice of the War Department, yet nothing has been done to remedy this. It did not require the present war to prove to anyone having the slightest know- ledge of military affairs that our field artillery was practically obsolete and worthless, except for firing salutes upon Royal birthdays. The Ordnance Department knew this as well as anybody. Yet they took practically no steps to bring this important arm into a state of effi- ciency. France and Germany have spent huge sums upon quick-firing field guns. But the British military authorities have made no effort to keep pace with the times in the matter. As a result of the laxity wa are suffering check after check in South Africa, and throwiug away hundreds of valuable lives. For it is hopeless to expect infantry to make any impression upon a well-armed foe unless they have adequate artillery support. The only field guns of any value owned by the British Army are the two batteries of howitzers. The fifteen-pounders and small guns have a range that, at the best, i doel not exceed 6,000 yards. They are slow in action, and against a Creusot gun are about as effective as a pea-shooter would be against a revolver. Only the timely landing of the naval guns prevented our troops from being driven out of Ladysmith and other important posi- tions. These naval twelve-pounders are (as a well-informed critic of the Sunday Times has shown) fine weapons, having a range of some ten thousand yards, and the naval fifteen- pounder, the newest gun of all, is an even more effective weapon than this. A few of these are already on the way to the Cape. But why (asks the authority just referred to) does not, the War Office seek to repair the mischief caused by its lethargy by giving the Field Artillery in South Africa naval field pieces in place of the useless weapons they are now encumbered with? Why, indeed ? We actually have the guns in our arsenals, but have with- held from our brave fellows at the front the proper fighting fitment, for no explicable reason except that red-tapeism ordinance has decreed it.

DR. O'DONNELL AND THE SCHOOL BOARD. DECISION NOT TO RESIGN. Dr. O'Donnell, we are gratified to learn, has submitted to great influence brought to bear upon him by the numerous admirers of his sturdy action recently upon the Barry School Board, and will not resign his position as originally intended. The resignation was to have been in the hands of the Board at the next meeting, but it has now been withheld. The Rev Father Byrne was suggested as the suc- cessor of Dr O'Donnell, who has faithfully represented the Catholic interests on the Board for many years past.

HOME FROM THE TRANSVAAL.' INTERESTING WEDDING. A most interesting wedding took place on Thursday morning (to-day) at the Tabernacle Welsh Congregational Chapel, Holton-road, Barry Dock. The contracting parties were Mr Evan Pugh Davies, son of Mr Lewis Davies Llandovery, and Miss Mary Griffiths, daughter of Mr John Griffiths, Holton-road, Barry Dock. Thp important ceremony was performed by the pastor of Tabernacle (Rev B. Evans). Mr Dan Griffiths, brother of the bride, acted as best man, and Miss A. L. Griffiths, sister of the bride, as bridesmaid. The bride was attired in a dress of grey cloth, and white silk blouse. She had on a nice white bat, adorned with ostrich feathers. The honeymoon will be spent in London, and the bride's travelling suit is a grey co tume. The presents were numerous nnd useful, including several\from the bride- groom to bride, the former of whom has spent several years in the Transvaal, where he was prospering as a contractor, until the break-out of the present war, which compelled him to beat a hasty retreat in the then only mode of travelling, namely, in cattle trucks. Mr Davies' experience would be doubtless worth having, but our representative thought it indiscreet to ,approach the happy man on that subject as yet, especially as he had only a quarter of an hour in which to catch the train to town. it may be mentioned, however, that, in comaion with many other refugees, Mr Davies had to sacrifice something in his hurried departure from the troubled country, and came away without his tools.—Messrs John Joues and Sons, undertakers, Holton-road, Barry Dock, attended to the vehicular arrangements.
