The present time is the sea- Friendly son of club feasts. Long pro- Societies cessions of Foresters, Oddfel- lows, Buffaloes, and Shepherds adorned with gay regalia, perambulate the thoroughfares one week after another. They remind us that hundreds of men and boys in tire district are looking ahead, and making provision for the days of sickness, infirmity and death. By paying small monthly instalments into the funds of the various societies, they make pecuniary pro- vision for the inevitable break-downs in the future of life. The workingman finds this method suitable to his limited finances, and he deserves every encouragement in his plan of economic prudence. Alas, there are too many bread-winners who spend their wages as they are earned, and that without giving a thought to the possibility of acci- dent, and the certainty of failing health. It is a pity that they do not dread the possibility of becoming paupers both in pocket and health. They have no right to neglect economy in the time of health, and trust to so-called luck to help them in the day of adversity. Personal dignity should be consulted, and every effort made in time to prepare for the needs of the future. We know of no more suit- able method by which workingmen may make ready for the demands of sickness and death than that, of joining with others in contributing to the common fund of a friendly society. Membership brings men together in sympathy and co-operation, by which they can render mutual aid to each other in the day of destitution. The Friendly Societies of the present day are unions of colossal magnitude, rendered cer- tain to endure by the centralisation of authority and arrangement, and thus great- ly surpass in value and prestige the small and scattered local societies of former days. Their speciality is unity, an element es- sential to prosperity. The audit has again gone up, as 1!1 r, Taxing a result of the advance in the Coal market price of coal. That it has Exports, not yet reached its maximum point is well assured by experts. While people are bewailing coal prices as Exorbitant and phenomenal we may as well remind them that in 1872-74 the rates were at least 25 per cent, higher all over the Kingdom, North-country steam coal being then higher at the pit's mouth than the best Welsh qualities now. The best Cardiff at that time was over 30s. per ton; and scarce at that. The talk of restricting sup- ply and taxing exports is seriously can- vassed in some directions. We hear that French and Russian Governments are stor- ing it for future war, and the scare is pre- cipitating legislators to contemplate taxing legislation. But what are the facts ? The "Shipping World" has the following com- ments on the crisis —"A formidable array of figures is put forward to prove that the output and export of British coal are year- ly increasing anu that is true enough. It is contended that the output should be re- stricted or the exports taxed. And then follow some wild statements about the clandestine importation of our best steam coal to French and Russian ports, to be stored away until required in a war against ourselves. How very dreadful! The names of the ships engaged in this traffic are given; and concerning them, the clear- visioned financial editor of the "Westmin- ster Gazette" remarks, "All the ships we have seen mentioned are from North-coun- try ports, whence not one ounce of smoke- less coal is shipped." That is the way- 'like a bull at a gate'—that uninformed peo- ple discuss alien trades and topics. Now, it is very true that the exports of coal have increased, and are increasing; and the quantity is kept largely down because the men, earning good money, take more leisure than when earnings are low. But the in- crease stated in money is influenced by the enhanced price, which accounts for at least 33a of the total. And taking the figures of our contemporary, in respect of 1897- 1898, we find that the Uardiff contribu- tion towards an increase of 5,726,000 tons was only 1,750,000 tons. 'In other words,' says the "Westminster Gazette,' the bulk of the increased shipments, as, indeed, the bulk of the country's entire coal exports, is represented by a fuel which by no stretch of the imagination can be termed smokeless steam coal. Of course, it will be argued that the first half of the current year shows a more serious state of things than ever be- fore. But when we take the increased de- mands of the world's enlarged fighting and mercantile navies into account, and the extra supplies required for the augmented fleets and transports intended for the China seas, and write off obvious exaggerations, the fantastic romances about France and Russia storing up Welsh coal wherewith to steam against us vanish entirely away." In his statement in the House War of Commons last week, Mr. Money. Wyndham was able to give us what should be the final esti- mate of the cost of the South African War. In all, it appears that the total outlay upon the war will have been £ 61,000,000; if the present estimates are not exceeded. Al- though the money has been spent in pro- tecting the Empire, yet the prodigious sum squandered is terrible to contemplate. What might, or rather, what might not have been done for our noble Christian island by a, proper application of such an enormous amount? We might have provided 3,000 How it Board Schools at £1,000 each; might 20 public parks, 5,000 acres at be spent. £100 per acre, at C500,000 each; 200 mechanics' institutes at 95,000 each; 20 asylums for the blind at £ 50,000 each; ditto for the deaf and dumb at R50,000 each. 100 public libraries at £10,000 each; 100 playgrounds and gymnasiums at L10,000 each 100 baths and washhouses at R10,000 each drainage and sanitary improvements £5,000,000; medical attendance of the poor E3,000,000; 1,000 soup kitchens at LI,000 each 10 public hospitals at £ 200,000 each 10 hospitals for consumptives at LIOO,000 each 20 fever hospitals at £ 50,000 each 20 eye hospitals at £ 50,000 each 20 orphan asylums at £ 50,000 each; 1,000 places of worship at an average cost of 95,000 each; 200 ministers' incomes at zC250 a year for 10 years; 2,000 school- masters' salaries at L250 a year for 10 years; foreign missions, including contin- ental and colonial, £ 5,000,000; bible society £ 1;000,000; religion tract soc., zCI,000,000 ragged school union £ 1,000,000; 100 floating hospitals for sailors at £ 10,000 each 100 temperance halls at £1,000 each 100 hospitals for drunkards at LIO,000 each; and 2,000 life boats at £ 500 each. If the L61,000,000 spent on the South Afri- can War had been laid out upon benevolent lines somewhat similar to the above ar- rangement, how different would have been the condition of Briton, Boer and Black to-day! War, when cheapest, is terribly expensive, and its results, even under the most favourable circumstances, mean both to the vanquished and victor alike, death and destruction in their most horrible forms. The desire to abolish all war should be regnant in the heart, of every true follower of the Prince of Peace. War is waste of property, money, and more than all, it is irremediable waste of human life. Houses may be re-built, farms may be re- cultivated, money may be regained, but not one of the hundreds of thousands of valuable human lives lost in warfare can be restored. Broken hearts in castle and cot- tage mourn in vain for loved ones fallen on veldt or kopje. War is woe peace is pros- perity. It is not pleasant to think Killing that the Germans are beating distance, us in the race of life, but evi- dently British resource will have to be developed to the utmost if this country is going to uphold commercially it glorious prestige. We have long pointed out that the pre-eminent power in national supremacy must be the educational equip- ment of the people. It is by education that the secrets of success will be discovered, and the stronger we make the rank and file in details of science the more certain of equality in competition we make ourselves nationally. In sea-faring matters, and ocean travel we must look to it. A wonder- ful revolution has taken place within com- paratively recent years in the speed of vessels crossing the Atlantic. Gradually the pace has been accelerated, and evident- ly the limit has not yet been reached. The new steamer "Deutschland" has just made the run from New York to Plymouth in 5 days 14 hours, which Represents a speed of 23 knots or 26.47 statute miles an hour. That, even in these days, is a marvellous speed, although circumstances of late have been exceedingly favourable. The "Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse," which has held the blue ribbon of tTie Atlantic for some time, attained a speed of 22.61 knots an hour, which is fully a third of a knot per hour less than that of the "Deutschland." The swiftest British steamer is the "Lucania, which made the Atlantic passage at the rate of 22.1 knots an hour. The run of the "Deutschland" referred to was her first return voyage, and no doubt she will be quite able to maintain if not exceed the speed.she has already reached. The per- formances of these Atlantic greyhounds are certainly magnificent, but there are still people who think that if they cross the ocean at a somewhat slower pace they do not lose much. The Dean of Llandaff made a Speech most interesting speech at the Day. Cowbridge Grammar School. It was full of the soundest wisdom, and the precepts were the wealth- iest in tone and character. From the re- port it is gratifying to learn that the his- toric school in which so many Rhondda boys have been educated in reviving its powers of usefulness, though it is to be regretted that the institution with its valuable re- sources was not merged in the Welsh In- termediate system. Still, it is again doing good work, and the better doubtless, be- cause of the vigorous rivalry which it has to contend with from the County Schools which are doing such excellent service throughout the principality to the sons and daughters of Wales. The worthy Dean contrasted the advantages of to-day with the student's difficulties of by-gone years. fhen elaborate note books for the classics, and carefully prepared explanations ot mathematical problems were not known. It is true, but there is a possibility, how- ever, of the weakening of self-reliance in the excellence of the present facilities. An hour of research into a lexicon is worth days of memorising by cribs. What is needed is honest aim and intention on the part of the pupil to plod for learning's sake and not for the eclat of examination results. The morality of cribs is soul enervating, and the Scriptural exhortation of the Dean, "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are hon- est, whatsoever things are pure, if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things," deserve marked and uni- versal prominence in all our public schools. If boys and girls grow up with these grand principles from holy maxims deeply rooted, then a glorious harvest of men and women strongly moulded would coin the nation's heritage as living citizens to work out its great destiny. THE assassination of the The King of Italy has sent a Murdered thrilling sensation through Monarch, the world. His Majesty had been last Sunday attending ] ;witb a distribution of prizes in connection a gymnastic competition, at a p|ace Monza, *and had just entered his ca with his aide-de-camp, amid the of the crowd, when he was in three shots from a revolver r quick succession.
