THE LAND QUESTION IN WALES.
THE LAND QUESTION IN WALES. WE have heard little recently of the Welsh Land Question. All public interest in it seems to have dropped, and before long those who are averse to changing the present conditions of Land Tenure in Wales will have cause to rejoice, and to say that the agitation in favour of reform of the Land Laws was hollow and hypo- critical. There are, however, many reasons for this state of things. The Welsh mem- bers of Parliament seem to care nothing about Land Reform in the concrete, though, of course, pledged to it in the abstract. It is questionable whether one of them really appreciates the sad position of agriculture in Wales, and the hard, stubborn fight farmers have to wasre asrainst heavv L.J V J rents, foreign competition, and increase of wages. If they do appreciate these facts, it is a pity they take no steps to keep the Welsh Land Question well to the front in Parliament. The Land Commission has come and gone, and the Welsh Land Question still remains where it did ten years ago, Welsh farmers would be glad to receive any legislation which would slacken their burdens, and would hail with delight a measure which would give them the benefits of the recommendation of the minority of the Land Commissioners. To a very large number of farmers the suggestion, unanimously agreed upon by the members of that Commission, that the Government should help the struggling freeholders to pay off their mortgages by the loan of money at a low rate of interest, came as a ray of light in utter darkness. The condition of the freeholders in central Wales is indeed a matter of the gravest importance. Forced by circumstances to purchase the holdings where their families have lived for generations, and, because of the com- petition for land, to pay a higher price than they can afford, these men find themselves in the position of rack-rented tenant farmers forced to make their own improvements, and utterly unable to get any reduction in the rent. The mortgagee, unlike the landlord, must have his interest to the day unlike the landlord, he never makes abatements; unlike the landlord, he does not expend a halfpenny on the property. To compensate for all this, what does the freeholder get ? He is, apart from his financial liabilities, a free man, he has security of tenure, he himself gets the benefit of all the improve- ments he makes on his farm, he need never fear to express his opinions on any religious or political subject, he is a servant to no man. For these privileges Welsh farmers are willing to pay and to suffer; but it is another question whether it is just and equitable that they should have to pay such a price for privileges which ought to be the birthright of every citizen. It is interesting to notice the results brought about by the hard life the free- holders of Central Wales live. How often has it not been said that natives of Cardigan- shire have more grit and spirit than is ordinary ? How often has our attention been called to the really remarkable way in which the small community of Cardigan- shire farmers, engaged in the London milk business, have thriven. In North Cardigan- shire the London milk-men buy up all the land for sale, and pay through the nose for it. That is sufficient evidence of the fact that they t thrive. But the foundation of that success was laid in the hard and unremitting toil to which they were accustomed in their youth on the barren hills of Cardiganshire. It is quite noticeable that the children of freeholders, hardest working of all farmers, are amongst the most successful of the London milk-men. When young they learnt from their parents to be abstemious, thrifty, and independent, and these lessons spelt success for them in the larger world of London. Such men are the salt of the earth, and such men are produced from the homes of the burdened freeholders in Cardiganshire. Any legislation which tends to increase the number of freeholders and to lighten their financial burdens should be hailed with delight. Would that Wales were the first to receive such legislation _.J.
THE DISTRICT NURSE.
THE DISTRICT NURSE. AT a meeting held at the Town Hall, Aberystwyth, last week, it was unanimously resolved to provide a nurse for that town in connection with the Queen's Jubilee Institute for Nurses. The meeting was convened by Lady Evans, of Lovesgrove, and it is gratifying to find that her appeal has, so far, met with a warm and ready response. The parent institution makes a grant of X20 for the first year, and £10 for the second year. The Trustees of Downie's Bequest have promised a contribution of = £ 30 and, at their meeting last Monday, the Guardians voted a sum of £15 a year towards the same object. We need not here dwell upon the lasting benefit and the untold good that will follow in the steps of a trained, ex- perienced nurse. Apart from the immediate material aid she will be able to give to the suffering, the educative influence of her visits will have far-reaching results, not only in the homes of the poor, but also on the community at large. We sincerely hope that the services of the nurse will not be abused by the well-to-do and the middle- class, and that her charitable work will be strictly confined to the needy, deserving poor.
THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
THE SUNDAY QUESTION. FORCE," said PASCAL, is the queen of the world, and not opinion but opinion is that which puts force into use." The truth of this saying of the great French thinker has just been exemplified in our own times in a. peculiar manner. During the past few weeks we have witnessed a most remarkable and successful upheaval of public opinion against the secularization of Sunday. The Day of Rest was threatened—and threatened from more than one point; and it seemed at times that the forces of materialism would be victorious all along the line. The evil which threatened the Day of Rest, which has been justly described as the bulwark of the greatness and glory of. Britain, became not only aggressive but defiant. Britons love toleration, but encroachment is a thing they cannot brook and we need no better testimony than the present outburst of indig- nation to the fact that the British workman enjoys the/prerogatives he may not always exercise. He may be indifferent to the in- stitutions of his country, but when those institutions are assailed he at once becomes active and loyal to the core. To move up- ward and onward is indisputably the noblest of human efforts; and it is, no doubt, a. grand thing to know and to feel that we im- prove and advance from age to age. But there is a good deal 'of cant in progress. We too often seem to forget that evolution does not mean unvarying improvement and progress. There are many dark chapters of retrogression in the history of the evolution of the material and moral world andj we firmly believe that the secularization of Sun- day would be a national backsliding. Even taken from a national point of view, the question assumes a far more serious aspect than to keep Sunday for Sunday's sake. The good influence of the Day of Rest is very far-reaching, and never before were the ad- vantages of Sunday observance so manifest as in our own times. Abandon Sunday, and the higher and better life will disappear from the other days of the week. Ours is pre-eminently an age of unrest—of social, moral, and intellectual unrest. Our days are so crowded, so busy, so occupied, that we have hardly time to give rest and change to the body, to say nothing of time to re- fresh and elevate the mind. To the millions who have to toil ceaselessly, to the still sad music of humanity," Sunday is the only day that brings respite from work and worry. The working man has no better heritage than the Day of Rest, whether or no lie keeps it as a Day of Worship also. Some over-conceited people never fail, when the least opportunity offers, to ridicule Sunday as an institution, and to mock those who observe it as out-of-date faddists but the unmistakable protests of the people, of all classes and creeds, against the publication of seven-day newspapers, proves beyond ques- tion that Sunday is not the obsolete institu- tion that some would have us believe. We rejoice to find the country so healthy on this all-important question; and that it is deter- mined to save at least one day from sinking to the lowest depths of materialism. To the dismal and discontented few Sunday may be a dull, monotonous day, but to the busy, thriving multitude it is a day that gladdens life and hallows all its pleasures.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. "m -0. i MU. JOHN CORBETT, of Droitwich, has once more generously extended his support to the Towyn Intermediate Schools by subscribing a sum of £100 per annum for three years towards enabling the managers to secure the services of an additional teacher, and to in- crease the number of John Corbett's Schol- arships." Mr. Corbett has already sub- scribed over £ 2,000 in cash towards that excellent institution. YESTERDAY QUEEX VICTORIA celebrated her eightieth birthday, having ruled over her loyal sons and daughters in that empire on which the sun never sets for nearly sixty- two years. During that time in her as mother, wife and queen, a thousand claims to reverence closed," and all eyes look with love to that throne on which beats the light of years. To-day we think and acquiesce whole-heartedly in the words of the late Laureate She wrought her people lasting good." THE little village of Llansannan, which nestles in the solitudes of Mount Hiraefchog in Denbighshire, was on Tuesday the scene of a rare and touching ceremony. It is sad to think that the one man to whom the idea, of erecting the monument in memory of the five eminent "W elshnien of Llansannan, was not there himself to grace the event. It was the late Mr. T. E. Ellis who first suggested erecting a monument to Tudur Aled, Wil- liam Salesbtiry, the brothers V, illiam and Henry Iiees, and Iorwertii Giaii Aled. To him the memory of the Jkyniric dead was an inspiration and a passion, and it is to be hoped that a statue worthy of his memory will be erected at Cefnddwysavn.
