THE DEVELOPMENT OF ABERYSTWYTH. gIRi On the above theme, Dr. Walkei and I are I think even more at- pne than he suggests, being quite agreed as to the importance 01 ine iuririer development of the Town, both .as an educational centre and a health resort. If w* differ at al. ii is on secondary and minor matters, on the means to be employed rather than the end to be sought. Dr. Walker enlarges on the duty and expediency of advertising. In so doing I trust that the town Nvil be more ingenuous, even if no less ingenious, than some of its rivals. Whilst proper reference may be made (as has bepn done in admirable illustrated booklets) to the climate, scenery, water-supply, promenade, &c., which are so exceptionally good, let us carefully avoid the example of some who, if in our plac< would proceed somewhat in the following style. "At the north end of the noble promenade is a winding road-way, which is under contemplation to extend round the cliff to Claracli Bay. but which at present leads no further than l' 1 1 to the majestic quarry wnose aeons, scattered in wild confusion, is suggestive of a clia, truly sublime. Some have complained that the road-way is sometimes deep in mud but if the invalid visitor will only have the courage to wade through he will find that what is con- temptuously termed "mud" is a tenacious sub- stance possessed of remarkable therapeutic and stimulating properties, which, permeating not only the leather of the shoe, but the cuticle itself, result in the invigoration of the muscles of the foot and ankle, greatly increasing their elasticity and power of pedestrianism. Almost in the centre of the promenade is the signalling station, at which a storm cone is hoisted punctually three days' after the cessation of a gale, either to portend another or awaken gratitude for the calm that has ensued. The telegraph form, with the maudali for hoisting, remains for another week, so that the passer by. if uninitiated in the methods of communication hv the invisible forces of electricity, may pause and ponder. On the beach precious stones may, by the discriminating and diligent searcher, be picked up in such quantities as, if disposed of at the right quarters, will defray the whole expenses of a sum- mer out. Some may complain that a back-ache is the inevitable accompaniment of their search, but we have it on the highest medical authority that the unwonted exercise of usually unused muscles has a most heneficial result on the system, especially in the case of those who are liable to congestion of the liver. We would also call attention to the fact that with great regularity the liner entitled The Countess of Lisburne' pursues her voyage to and from Liverpool, and whether in the pearly dawn or brilliant noon, or amidst the golden glories of sunset she crosses the bay, she presents a truly impressive spectacle." X o. sir, that has not been and shall not be our style of advertisement. But (to be serious again) even to the wisest and most veracious adverti.-e- inent there must be a limit because of the cost to the ratepayers, as Dr. Walker hinted when in y. ur issue of December 7 he said, Of course I would not recommend much expense to be incurred at the outset." Again, which will be better for the town, to attract the trippers or the permanent residents? Surely the latter; and in that case you must have houses for them to live in. It would not be desir- able, even if possible, for Aberystwyth to emulate Blackpool, which, whilst justly boasting of its bracing air and open sea, is destitute of all other natural features of beauty, and so must needs resort to artificial attractions of a kind that would destroy the mental balance'of a Wordsworth or a Ruskin, and be entirely incongruous with the con- ditions desirable for a University town, and the tastes of most who would be disposed to become residents because of the salubrity and natural beauty of the place. It may be doubted if the Improvement Company, which has enclosed Con- stitution Hill, dotted it over with kiosks and adorned it with a switchback railway, has thereby done anything to attract a resident population. The pier is undoubtedly a gain, and might be more so if there were a little less pavilion and a little more pier. As to the projected pond, or shall 'e call it lake. at the back of the town, there might, be sense in it if Aberystwyth were 150 miles from the sea. And now, sir, there is another point on which I am sure that Dr. Walker agrees with me, viz., that we should not only point out the advantages of Aberystwyth as a health resort, but that care should betaken to preserve and improve its reputa- tion in this respect. He considers the place well suited for consumptive patients, and in referring to the propagation of lung disease says, It has been demonstrated that the sputum is the (query, a principal?) source of dissemination." This is in- deed true. At a conference held at Birmingham a few weeks ago Dr. Millard pointed out how con- sumption claimed 60,000 victims in the United Kingdom every year. and said that one avoidable means of spreading the disease was "expectoration in the streets." The sputum drying, the genus rise in the air and are inhaled by passers by. Now, sir, I must enter a strong protest against the expectoration that defiles our promenade. In wet weather it is little noticeable, but in dry, the promenade is often spotted all over with sputum,be- smearing ladies skirts and as it evaporates on the non-absorbent concrete slabs, distributing germs of catarrh, influenza colds, sore throats and tubercular affection, broadcast. I shall be told that expectoration is an inevitable corollary of smoking. So much the worse then for smokiny, and yet I must not denounce the practice wholly for it has its advantages. What more convenient mode is there of daily and hourly getting rid of that superfluous cash with which so many, especially young men, are burdened ? Then how it adds to the revenue of our country. Besides, if it does not invigorate the system, or purify the blood, or clarify the brain, is it not sometimes valuable in overpowering far worse odours even than the vilest' shag'? But in the name of common sense what counter-action is needed for the pure Atlantic breeze, laden with liberated ozone, that sweeps across our promenade ? If men must spit because they must smoke (or chew) let them do so elsewhere. A final word as to Dr. Walker's assumption that my signature is a nom-de-plume." Has he never heard of the Nemos of Northampton- shire ? Some branches of the family are to be found in the Peerage and in the House of Commons and although I am one of the humbler offshoots I do not care to have my personality questioned. Indeed were I not convinced that Dr. Walker is sincere in his misconception I should find occassion for offence in the fact that he calls me familiarly, "Xemo." I lllay not bave a medical degree but surely I am entitled to the prefix Mr. What would lie think if I called him just Walker?— Yours sincerely, NICHOLAS NEMO. +

LLANON. SIR,-Will you kindly allow me, through the medium of your columns, to draw attention to one or two small matters concerning this place—Llanon. Some years ago a trotting-match was started here, and year by year the event took place till the last year or two, when, without any explanation, this annual event was conspicuous through its disappear- ance, and, as you must know, any local event in a small place like this is an object of very general interest. Now, what is the object of a trotting- match? Has it a good object ? If so, why was it dropped? I have been told that it ought to yive an impetus to the agricultural class by improving their breed of horses, &c., and good for the place because it brings together a crowd of people who must be supplied with the necessaries of life if for one day only. Now, surely if it does that, it must do some good. Then why was it dropped ? We have heard no reason for its non-appearance; it surely cannot be that, like a good many other objects, it is for want of funds, as I have hear-" from reliable authority that there is a surplus even, which is in a bank. Now, I should like to kn- w what is this surplus for? Why is it kept idle?— that is if the trotting-match is no more also. how long is it to be kept there ? I am sure we did not subscribe our money to start a banking account- but perhaps it has gone to keep company with the funds which were raised here for the brass band. It is on record that once upon a time the youth c.f Llanon were bent on having a brass band here, and accordingly they started raising funds by concert*, subscriptions, &c., but somehow or other their ardour cooled and the whole thing fell through. Rut the question is. Where, oh where, is the money ? I understand that there was actually somd be- like jP,6 in hand when it was dropped. Now, where is that money Is it like the trot ting-match funds —in the bank? Will some one who know. kindly throw a litt I- light, on the subject of these funds, as to where they are, and if the object, for which they were collected is dropped for ever, what arc they being kept for? What is intended doing with them ? On this point I can offer a suggestion. I believe that as the money came from the pockets of the local people, it shoutd be applied for some good to the locality, and surely there must be something here, as there is in most places, where a little cash would do a great deal of good—as wit- ness the condition of the place on a dark night, when the passers-by are really sources of danger to one another in the utter darkness that prevails. Surely all reasonable people will agree with me when I say that a few lamps would do a world < f good here, especially now, when there is no moon light, and on a dark night here you don't know where you are." Thanking you for space in ye t valuable paper, I have the honour to sign myself, I re above funds, A SCBSCRIBER

Welshmen as Colonists. AN INTERESTING LETTER. SlR,-I do'nt know whether it is too late in the day for me to congratulate you on the appearance oi your able paper, a few numbers of which have come to my hand through an old Aberystwyth IV.llow-wurkman. and although in this far off country, and in the middle of a iracidess desert, the enjoyment of reading home news is some- thing one cannot very well describe, especially as it's so many long years now since I saw the dear old town, and enjoyed the grand scenery of the neighbourhood. I am very pleased that the iprinciples that are advocated in your paper are germane to true nationalism, as the paper wnicn ii-;■ previously th° ::o!e sway of the county, was totally unable to grasp the true spirit, although it made honest efforts. It suffered from a natural inborn deficiency, which it could not overcome with all its best efforts, and consequently failed to lead in the right way. So I hope you will now lead the van and spare no trouble I godi'r hen wlad yn uwch, uwch." We Welshmen in these Colonies and throughout the world, in British and foreign dominions, are much more enthusiastic nationalists than our home-staying brethren, al- though away from the old country. Travelling in foreign lands, and living in countries where keen competition give a fillip to one's ambitions makes the quiet slow-going Cymro a match for any of his compeers, as it's well known in these colonies that educated young Welshmen climb up the ladder 1 ot tame in larger proportion to their number than men of any other Nationality. In this colony, Western Australia, where I am at present-there are a good number of our countrymen, mostly connected with mining. This colony which is about the size of half of Europe, was until seven years ago but a trackless unknown desert, with the exception of a few farms and sheep runs on the coast, and now in such a short time, its the largest and richest gold producing country in the world, with the ex- ception of the Transvaal, so that its only natural that Welshmen should be found here, trying their fortune, and several of them are the most prominent citizens in the country We don't forget the traditions of our fatherland, and you will notice in an out-of-the-way place a group of men yn canu hen ganiadau Seion" which makes one's heart jump when hearing the music wafted on the evening breeze. There is a veritable Welsh Mining Village at Leonora and Malcolm, where Mr. Pritchard Morgan s mines are situated, and at the rich centres of Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie there are scores of Native and Colonial Welshmen. We have had two Eisteddfods here already-both of them very successful, the chief promoter being an Aber- ystwyth gentleman, Mr. William Griffiths—one of the most enthusiastic Welshmen I've met, who worked hard with half-dozen others, so as to give a stimulus to his countrymen, and some work for them to do, so as to keep them out of harms way in these rough and wild regions, and the meetings which lasted for three days were perfect- eye openers to thousands here, as to the taJent, and ability of the Welshmen. As I said before, we have several prominent men here hailing from the old country, and amongst them several from Cardiganshire. Our most prominent politicians, lawyers, medical and min- ing men are Welsh, and to their credit they keep up the good name of yr hen wlad that no one need be ashamed of them, and it only shows what a Cymro can do when he gets equal educational advantages. The general manager of the railway system is Mr John Davies, at one time station master at Aberdovey, our goldfield Member of Parliament is Mr. A. E. Morgans, an Ebbw Vale gentleman, two of our best mine managers are Mr John Morgan, formerly of Penllwyn, and Mr Harry James, of Goginan, There are dozens of others in less responsible positions from the sur- rounding country of Cardiganshire. Most of our singers are from Dyffryn Rhondda, a Mynyddoedd yr Eryri, and our merchants hail from Cardiff and Swansea. One of our ablest all round men un- doubtedly is the Aberystwyth gentleman I referred to before, Mr W. Griffiths, F.G.S., a mining en- gineer of hitrh qualifications, and one of the most respected iuen in the country, a Welshman to the core, aud one whom we all are proud of. Some of his work (as the Power Company's), will be a standing monument, and his keen political ability, would put him in the foremost rank if he was not so reserved and quiet. Taking the Welshmen al- together, we can claim an equal if not a higher standard of general ability throughout the country, and certainly the Celt as a whole seems far superior to the Anglo Saxon and Teuton here, and I only hope and wish that the educationists of Wales will do their best in the interests of the rising generation to give them the best possible technical education, which is the only education that is worth for them to fight their way in the world, especially in the colonies and foreign countries. I hope your paper will advocate the highest welfare of our country by pressing such to an issue. Aberystwyth might be a centre of tech- nical education since I left it it was only the scource of small beginnings then. However, there is nothing of more value to a young man that goes out to the world than the best technical and scientific education that can be given. As to the re-juvenated national spirit at home, I hope you will keep the cause prominent and bright before the country; its a necessity, and a great and precious adjunct to any Welshman's outfit, if he in- tends travelling, much more so, than even if he were a sober stay at home." I need not go into the reasons but an enthusiastic and able Welsh- man is always respected in every part of the world I have been, and has much better chances of promotion as such than those of most nationalities. My rememberances are of the great men that have left —like Thomas Gee, Wm. Rees, Gohebydd. Dr. John Thomas, and others. I hope Young Wales are as enthusiastic, determined, and seeking the welfare of their fatherland as the Old Wales were; if so, then my dear old country will again prosper and come to the front, and her name shine amongst the nations as brilliant as the sun at mid-day. Our feelings here are well portrayed by Ceiriog Tua gwlad, mam a thad. gwena pob gwyneb, Hwn yw tir codiad haul, serch ac anwyldeb; Yno mae gwenau mwyn boreu ein bywyd, Yn ein co', hon yw bro Eden ein mebyd Nid oes dyn nad oes tant, tyn yn ei enaid, Na ry don i'w frodeg, gwlad ei hynafiaid; 0, mae'm tant—Gymru'm tir rhy wan i bara, Heb roi ton bur i ti, heulog Wen Walia." Kalgoorlie, R. REES JAMES. Western Australia.

The Representation of Merioneth. SIR,—It is difficult in these days to get people to speak or think of hardly anything except the war in its various phases. Still, the above subject is one which must be seriously faced before long, and nothing is to be gained for the county or its repre- sentative by delaying right consideration of it till the last moment. Mr. W. Evans, of Birmingham, deserves the hearty thanks of Liberals for his generous offer to contribute Z100 a year for five years towards the expenses of Mr. O. M. Edwards if he continues to represent the county. Never- theless, I do not believe it would be wise for this plan, or any other plan, to 'compel' Mr. Edwards to retain the seat to receive support. I was among those of the Liberals of the county who thought it was a grevious error to bring such pressure to bear upon Mr. O. M. Edwards to consent to put himself in nomination for the seat vacant through the death of Mr. Ellis. He appeared to me to be undertaking from a sense of duty work which was repugnant to all the inclinations and work of his life. Mr. Edwards has done great work for Wales, and if his health and life are spared, the debt of Wales to him will, I believe, becomegreater each succeeding year, for work that no one else could dc so effectually. It would be of incalculable benefit to Wales if he weregiven autocratic authority to mould its system of education, and to breathe into all the schools and colleges his own spirit-a spirit which would be the death of the contemptible worship of everything English, of sectarian bigotry, and of moral libertinism, I believe, therefore, that it is wise and prudent of us as Liberals to accept Mr. Edwards' resignation, and to set him free for more congenial work-work also which will be of as much, if not more, value to Wales than any service he could render her in Parliament. We need not go out of the county to seek for a Member. It is vain to expect anyone to fill the place which Mr. Ellis held latterly in the politics nut only of Merioneth and Wales, but of the Kingdom. We have one, if we consider, in the county, who will not fall far short of filling the place held by Mr. Ellis at the beginning of his career. A cautious voung man, of strong convictions, possessing a thorough knowledge of the needs and aspirations of Wales, and a capable and fluent speaker in both languages. He is not either one of that class who are ready to serve their country in the posts of greatest honour, but one whe has done and is doing invaluable work in every capacity, the responsibility of which has been laid upon him. I refer to Mr. Haydn Jones, of Towyn, to whom some districts clung when Mr. O. M. Edwards was chosen. He is a Nonconformist born, being a son of the late Rev. J. D. Jones. of Ruthin, a well-known and highly respected minister with the Congregation- alists in his day; and he is himself. L believe, a deacon with the Calvinistic Methodisis. The great ones of the Church of England in the county know him well as the man who was mainlv instru- mental in securing the endowments of Llanegryn to give scholarships for the children of the parish in the county schools rather than that they should be used as they had till then to pay the stipend of the clergyman, and to furnish Rim with a house rent free. The splendid position attained by the Towyn county school as one of the best in the Principality is a monument to his energy, his capacity, and his boundless desire to extend the advantages of a sound education to the children of the district. And, concerning his work on the County Council, of which I expect he will be chair- man next year, is it not known to all who follow the proceedings ? The county would certainly be the gainer by giving a young man of hi-s high character the opportunity to serre it in the highest position, and I have no doubt he would throw him- self into the work with the same devotion and thoroughness as he has manifested is every work he has undertaken.—Yours, etc.,

For preventing worms, coughs, colds, grease, cracked-heels and swellings of the legs they are- unsqualled. They stimilate the spirits and promote the appetite. If your Horses are looking poor, ctr;ng coats, bad appetites and lack of spirit, try these Condition Powders, and they will, with- out hindering the Horse from working, gradually but certainly gain the desired effect.
