DrCnijr i\ulij5 Ui;i riiOoiivj bViiluo, THE PAYMKNT OF MKJIBEK.S OF PARLIAMENT. Mr Burt, M.P., predicts son.-us^cq-'rfqucn- oes in the rnatf- r oft.1w intention of the North- umberland Miners' Association to discontinue the payment of his salary as member. In a circular on the subject he says he lias felt that payment of members is the only true and juit principle, aud that if the system breaks down in Northumberland it will probably be shaken, it not destroyed elsewhere. Mr Burt, however, made no appeal to the mm, leaving them to decide for themselves. It parliament were deprived of its labour representatives (and this is what is meant by the action of the Northumberland miners) the lo-ss to the country will be a serious one. --n- A MONOPOLY OF GRACE IN A COUNTRY CHAPEL. Anti-diluvian Cardiganshire boasts of a little village known as Llochryd, nestling gndgly on the banks of the river Tivy. At this place a congregational chapel has existed for many years, the members of which wor- shipped harmoniously until latterly, when disputes a:o-e on the ir.uqh-abuSed question of temperance. A section of the members aided with nature's beverage, while the oppo- sition was equally as enthnsi stic in de'em'e of the extract ot malt The malter in dispute had reached a serious climax when the mem- bers, for the first time in the course of the dispute, mutually agreed, upon separation. The? temperance pnrtv, headed by the minister. behig the weaker of the two, were obliged to sn: lender their right to the chapel, nnd turn out in quest of pastures new. A site was ob- tained, apd a chapel built by the separatists'| and everything has seen been carried on by the dual sections of a once peaceful and con- tented flock in diametrical Opposition to each other. Dr Pan Jones, in noticing the unplea- sant incident of the split in « recent issue of the Celt, Et^.te^: — "A gulf exists between the two chapels so that none can pass from one to the other, and that the Holy- Ghost would not be admitted into the new tabernacle unless He promised never to enter the del one," -0- HIGHER EDUCATION IN WALKS. Welsh educational feeling has tHken a ne* :*nd most important departure. To drennl of tie establishment of a Lr,iN-erzl,y in the Prircipaj'ty twenty years ago would be to revel, as it w-re, in a preposterous and haliu cinating monstrosity. Sincj then things have changed, and instead of charity and dame schools we have now our colleges and higher I el grade institutions. But this is not enough Wales is marching onward; the seventh standard boy finds that he must have some- thing better and more solid than the paltry cnniculum cfelt-mentary schools, and he seems to thirst fur a higher and more scientific education. Those in higher walks of circum- -are equally forward, and instead of colleges Wales wishes to send her sons a'.(d r, daughters to a Welsh university. A xnoTe- ment to this end I; "=' been pet on foot in vary influential quarters, and although the idea is It somewhat ambitious one, yet it is not mora than ^Velbhrnen can reas.,nibly demaad. Occupying a position as we do in the van of mineral rommerce, we need education as a vita cnducement to the retention of that enviable p> >eiti n. A deputation of gentlemen waited upon Welsh, pejfs and Welsh members of Parliament on Friday, and the upshot of the conference wiil probably be that a university for Wille" will become '.he chief aim of Welsh- men, leaving intermediate education through leglKhtion tv cone when Parliament can find time i,,nd inclination to give it, o •LIGHTS AND SHADES OF THE CONFERENCE. Artulygyld, writing on the subject of the conference in the "South Wales Echo," savs there is only one feeling in the breasts of all who took part in it, and that is a feeling of perfect satisfaction. It was certainly a plea- sant reai nfe to see every shade of political colour amtlng the Welsh legislators, evidently prepared to heartily co-operate for the common educationP1 good of the Principality. Tom Kllis rubbing shoulder to shoulder with Lord Harlech, the burly rotundity of Mabon crowd- ing the angular and Equare figure of Lord Powis nearly from his seat, Mr Osborne Mor- gan having Mr Cornwallis West for hisvis-"d-visf and Mr Kenyon sandwiched between Mr Stu- art Rendel and Mr Alfred Thomas was a sight which was not without its lessons.

The D. p ity-Cierk (Air Kenshole) having explained that no reply had been received from Mr Nixon to the application of the Board for n site for a hospital on hio land near Cilhaul, the offer of the chairman, on behalf of Lord Aberdare, of a piece of land in that neigh- bourhood for the same purpose,it the rate of jE132 per acre, was accepted.

THE
THE Pontypridd Local Board Election* less. TO THE RATEPAYERS AND OWNERS OB6 PROPERTY IN THE GRAIG WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.-Having been JJ requested by several ratepayers and owners to offer myself as a candid--ite to fill the vacincy at the at the above Board occasioned by the retirement of Mr Henry Hopkins, I have after due cons deration* consented to do so. As I am living in the Ward, and have frequent; occasion to visit the different parts of the ward, t am well acquainted with all itei sanitary and other requirements. Being an owner and ratepayer, and also representing companies having a very heavy stake in the district, it will be to my interest to see that the operations of the Board are carried out as economically as possible, with d ie regard to effi- ciency. With reference to Public i mprovements, I should advocate that arrangement" s onll be made with all owners of property affected thereby before such improvements are carried out, and if e ected I shall at all times do what I can to avoid litigation. Some persons have taken objection to my candi- dature on the ground that I am a public officer, but inasmuch as the office I hold has cnthiug what- ever to do with the Local Board, I maintain that this objection has no force whatever. Oa the contrary, the experience I have gained as a public officer during the past 24 years will be of great assistance to me in tha discharge of my duties as a member of the Local Board. I have for many years taken cor siderabl 5 inter- est in all public movements in Pontypridd and dis- trict, and I can without egotism lay claim to having done my share towards the improvement of the town in every way. If I am chosen to represent you at the Board, I promise you that I shall do all I can to s^rve yon. ,u a perfectly disinterested and iadepandent manner. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, H. S. DAVIES. Pontypridd, March 22nd, 1888.

Before giving yon my polioy as to the future, I wish to say a few words ae to what baa been done during t'ie three years now ending. Much has been done I must confess in the form of reads, bridges, culverts, trenches, mounds, gutters, &e., but b21 manner in which these operations ware "xe utcd is such that my neighbour women have taken the bold step of asking me to offer myself as candidate at their earnest request, and after muoh pressure, ns the following note shows, I offer my- self as a candidate for your suffrages. Mrs Mari Gnuith—DEAR MAD-DAME— We heer froom ol parts an tawlked ol over the loin that parrish imiters er in a bed staitthat brijis er bilt op and then pooled dawn rodes m iid and then haltered an gwd moiiy with wich wee cowd by tee an smnthing in it is spoils.

I am of opinion for some years that parish mat- ters are not in that tealthy s ate which indicates growth, prosperity, and economy, and aa domestic duties offer the a<i vantifjes of gortd training in cleanliness, business matters, economy in laying out mor.ey, efSeiemcy in the execution yf contracts, deepatch business, mvicy to the poor, and a thcr-mgh Hfr?>.virement nnd performance of par- chial matter", I hav > taken the broad step of so- liciting y ur pnffrag'^s. Complaints ire made that general parish affairs, us well as individual an private matters, are not only nM p.¡t. with any pretence at plainness, per- spicuity, mid e'oqnrr.cp, but they ore not evenfor- mirlated in'o any intelligi'oie ^hra.T ologv, or ex- pressed with any choicere-e nf terms or perspicacity of diction at tb« gen?r d Boa- d, where propriety, elegance, and for e in In ogna^e are the only potent and prevailing forces, while :y, the parish vestry teigeuess and perspicuity ar« the inexorable de- mands of ifQ bucolic attendants ip dealing with the intricate and complex busiteps of m andering trenches and sph '1 road?. And whereas in the immediate future we will be face to f ice with questions of great moment, and impruvements calling for large expenditure of public money in sanitary as well as social matters, it requires on the pa/t of the oubh'c "inch thought- disctancient-in-fche choice d then* representatives on the different Boards anii furthermore, as a large degree of edaea'.ion x),r- are elements absolutely necessary for th" conception an l initia- tion of ext'moive me.-sarss of r t'. rm. wii»h sorrow I gfiv.> typre<?«icn t" th. f,t of the l imentable de- j iiciency of these priucip es in the Board as at. present constltuted. And, ladi' and gentlemen, in conclusion with the sole no' nly obj"i*t of rendering efficient ser- vices iti the; larpe qswatiors o? the future, al- thcny'i <j.r w,"Il Callao in my domestic irole, yet for tbe good ot' my pariah (uotwithstaii <ng the discomfort in family affairs) I offer my.self for the first time for the honour of representing you on the Board.
