OUR NEW ALLIANCE.
OUR NEW ALLIANCE. It is a mortifying illustration of the plight to which we have been reduced by the Gov- ernment's South African policy that the Imperialist Press takes it for granted that our national pride is flattered by the dis- j covery that there is a nation-even if it be non-European-which is willing to accept us as an ally. A subordinate Minister even goes so far as to say that this shows we are held in greater respect than formerly. There was a time when we were proud of our isolation, for that isolation implied, not that we had nothing in common with other Euro- pean Powers, but that we did not choose to make entangling engagements. That time is gone by long ago. It was succeeded by a phase in which we still professed to be proud of our isolation, whilst neglecting to conceal our desire to exchange it for some alliance, forgetting that isolation to be splendid must at least be voluntary. This alliance with Japan is, therefore, not only an acknowledge- ment that we cannot get a European alliance and that we are not strong enough, to pro- tect our own interests alone; it is also an acknowledgment that a particular policy has failed, in spite of all the expedients we have resorted to. If nothing but an alliance with Japan can save certain vital British inter- ests, would it not have been wise to have made that alliance at a time when we might have appeared to choose it as the best out of many courses open to us, rather than to make it under conditions which show beyond all question that it is not the best, but the only course open to us? The history of these proceedings seems to us to exhibit all the disadvantages that arise from the Govern- ment's strange combination of the old and the new diplomacy. The advantage claimed for the new diplomacy is that it enables public opinion to influence foreign policy. What opportunity has been given to public Dpinion to declare itself on the question jof a Japanese alliance? The thing is done in the dark. The advantage of the old diplomacy was that it shielded from foreign notice our j diplomatic ambitions, difficulties, and failures. Mr CHAMBERLAIN has proclaimed i in the hearing offthe world that his Govern- ment wanted a German alliance, and that it has failed. The alliance is, therefore, an acknowledgment that, from one cause or another-or, to put it otherwise, on account of our South African policy-we are obliged to fall back on this alliance because we can- not get our way single-handed and because an alliance we wanted has been refused. Such conditions do not seem to us to counter- balance the strong objections felt for nearly half a"century by most Englishmen to the policy of alliances, or the still stronger ob- jections felt to an alliance with a non- European power. If the circumstances under which the alliance has been made do not in our opinion justify this sudden de- parture from an old-established policy, the conditions under which it is to be carried into effect seem to us to make it quite clear that it is a very one-sided bargain. The alliance concerns Manchuria and Korea. Will any Engliseman pretend that it would be worth while for England to go to war with Russia to prevent her acquisition of Manchuria ? We could scarcely do so on moral grounds with our (record in South Africa. To do so on commercial grounds would be unqualified folly, for Manchuria under Russian control would be more useful to us, in spite of tariffs, than a Chinese Manchuria. In Korea our interests are still more remote. In both quarters the interests of Japan are considerable. But were are told the treaty makes for peace. It may act as a restraint on Russia, so that in one sense it is a hypothetical contribution to the pre- servation of peace. On the other hand it is bound to act as a stimulus to Japan; so that in another sense, it is a positive contribution to the danger of war. A,,hot-beaded Japanese diplomatist or agent in Korea may involve us in war with two European Powers over a crisis in which we have no inserest at all. If any man thinks the danger baseless he must ignore the entire history of these Far Eastern questions. Hitherto Russia and Japan have been afraid of each ■V other, and their mutual alarm has given Korea what uneasy security she has. In future Japan knows that she can count on fighting Russia alone with the moral help of our support, or on fighting Russia and France together, with us as her ally, if she quarrels with Russia in Korea. It is for Japan, and not for us, by this treaty to decide whether she is to go to war with Russia; it is our business merely to help her. We call this a one-sided bargain. The allies have a very unequal interest in the Far East. It is worth while for Japan to fight Russia over Korea, for her interests are not merely or mainly commercial there. It is not worth while for us to fight her over Korea or over Manchuria, for our 'only in- terests are commercial, and those interests would suffer rather than gain by war, and would gain rather than suffer by the Russian advance, which we are to resist. But if our interests are unequal in the Far East, what comparison is there between the interests of the allies elsewhere ? To Japan the Far East is everything. If the Far East were blotted out to-morrow, our hands would still be full. Japan need not think of Africa, or America, or Europe when she sinks a Russian battleship in the Yellow Sea. We cannot lift a finger or move a private with- out thinking of our interests in India, in Egypt, in Uganda, in South and West Africa, in the West Indies, in the Mediter- ranean, in short, in every quarter of the j globe. It is this which makes the partnership so ridiculously unequal. Japan has our help in the only quarrels which con- cern her. She can choose the hour and the pretext. The treaty is worth to her so many ships and so many men in any emergemcy. What is it worth to us, if Ve are at war in South Africa or anywhere else, or if we are negotiating there or anywhere else ? It merely deducts so many men and so many ships from our fighting strength to be diverted to fighting somebody else's quarrels. There remains an objection, which we agree with the Morning Leader in estimating rather high. By this act, we are definitely stepping out of the European comity. There is a good deal of make- believe or exaggeration in these conventions, but something still remains of Mr Glad- stone's great notion of European concert. We are a European Power, and an alliance with Japan just at this moment looks very much like pique, and a snapping of our fingers at a Europe :which has discoun- tenanced our policy.-The Speaker.
SOCIAL CLUBS.
SOCIAL CLUBS. The Rev Canon HICKS of Manchester, paid another visit to Aberystwyth last week and formally opened the new women's club in North-parade, which has been recently established in that town under the auspices of the British Women's Temperance Associa- tion. Canon HICKS in referring to the practical application of temparance principles by the undertaking of work of this kind, said he had always found temperance workers ready to assist in any kind of enterprise which was for the bettering, the enlightening and for the uplifting of their fellows. Those cynics, who are never tired of croaking about the revenue and of indulging in far-off vague generalizations are, as far as Aberystwyth at any rate is concerned, just the very people who will not move a finger to do or to help any bit of practical work which lies to hand. It is very easy and, we believe, very profit- able work to hurl lampoons at temperance werkers and to scoff at temperance advocates; but the curious thing is, as Canon HICKS pointed out, that it is the extreme people who are the most ready to undertake the most humble practical work which would tend in the direction of right, and make it more difficult for people to do wrong. Clubs such as the one opened at Aberystwyth on Thurs- day play an important part in the life of the community. We are as yet only beginning to realise that we are living in a new age, and that it is necessary to have proper or- ganisations to meet the needs of the new age. Life in towns and cities brings with it a great deal of isolation, and the social side of the people living in them becomes cramped. The young men of Dolgelley have already summoned enough courage to embark upon an enterprise which has for its object the establishment of a social club for that town and the same idea, it appears, is tak- ing root at Towyn, where the question of the advisability of forming such a club is already being discussed. Social Clubs of this kind should do much, not only to stimulate the growth of a healthy public opinion, but also to foster unity and social bond among the citizens.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
NOTES AND COMMENTS. The committee appointed by the Board of Agriculture to inquire into the butter regu- lations in their interim report recommend the adoption of a limit of sixteen per cent. for the proportion of water in butter. In the House of Lords on Monday some discussion took place on a bill introduced by Lord Newton to repeal the conscientious objector" clause of the Vaccination Act. The Bill was opposed by the Government, on whose behalf it was urged that the Act will expire in two years' time, and that the whole question will then come up for recon- sideration. The second reading of the Bill was negatived by 52 votes against to 32 in favour. The first portion of the Birmingham Welsh water scheme has cost over two million pounds in excess of the original estimates, and nearly £ 250.000 more than the amount of the estimate for the whole scheme. —— It is some satisfaction to know (tha Daily News" remarks)" that the steady process of agitation working on Mr Cham- berlain has at last brought down the death- I rate among children in the concentration camps to about half what it was in October. We have always been ready to give credit to Mr Chamberlain for what he has done in the matter. By the death of Mr. W. R. Davies, solicitor, the public bodies of Dolgelley, and of Merioneth generally, have lost one of their most familiar figures. He had during the past thirty years worked up a successful and extensive practice, and the number of public appointments which lie held were very numerous. It is stated that there is reason to believe that a secret treaty with Germany provides for the transfer by Great Britain to Ger- many of Wei-Ehr-Wei. This addition to the concessions exacted from Great Britain by Germany is the price paid for German neu- trality during the Boer war. Tt is added that it is hinted that a port on the South- west coast of Africa is amongst the items in the secret agreement. Dr Newman Hall, the grand old man of Nonconformity, passed away on Tuesday morning at Hampstead, in the 86th year of his age. He was personally known to many in this district, having sojourned in recent years at Aberdovey, and other places on the coast, and his name may be said to have been a household word throughout the English- speaking world. Who has not read his elo- quent address on the dignity of labour ? ] The Llandudno justices on Monday fined j the licensee of the Gresham Hotel, XI and costs on charges of permitting drunken- ness and selling whiskey during prohibited hours, and ordered the licence to be en- dorsed. The Ruthin magistrates on the same day refused another application for the transfer of a licence of an hotel, the tenant of which had recently died, and as a result of this decision the house will remain closed. By the death of the Rev Penllyn Jones, the University ^College of Wales, Aberyst- wyth, has lost its oldest official. From 1872 up to 1892 he acted as the registrar and librarian at:the College, Aberystwyth. In the early yeais of the College he not only had to do a good deal of work in his own de- partment, but he also took charge of junior classes in English &nd classics. A short biographical sketch is printed in another column. In view of the proposed introduction of another Education Bill, and of the demands made in the interest of ti e established Church, the Wood Green and District Free Church Council has adopted a resolution offering strenuous resistance to any measure which attempts to diminish popular control over the education of the people, gives in- creased financial support to schools under denominational management to the injury of School Boards, removes existing safeguards against a violation of the rights of conscience, or in other ways sacrifices educational to asetarian interests. An automatic machine, delivering three aerated beverages at choice by the adjust- ment of an indicator, has been invented, and is about to be placed before the public by the General Automatic Delivery Company, which has its offices at Lawrence Pountney- hill, Cannon-street. The inventor of the machine, which is of pleasing design, claims that he has solved the insuperable difficulty of supplying a crowd of people, during a long summer's day, with a constant supply of aerated beverages without any replenishing of stock. The machine is also applicable to the penny-in-the-slot system. Last Friday afternoon Mrs Davies, of Llandinam, opened the Victoria Hall, Wrex- ham, which has been acquired by the Forward Movement of the Welsh Method- ists. The hall was formerly the Wrexham British Schools, but has been altered to suit its preserit^purpose at a cost of X4,000. The Forward Movement was commenced in Wrexham in October, 1898; The hall has accommodation on the ground and four gallery floors for 1,500 persons. There was a large assembly at the opening ceremony, which was presided over by Mr Jonathan Davies, of Portmadoc. A number of speeches were delivered by gentlemen from various parts of the Principality, including the general superintendent of the Forward Movement, the Rev John Pugh, of Cardiff. Mrs Davies promised X 100 towards the fund, while Mr David Davies gave a like sum. About X500 was promised at the meeting, which was a great success. The HosDital" is verv indignant at wlint. it regards as the smallpox scare got up by the newspapers. "By devoting a large amount of space every morning to an elaborate display of the smallpox returns, by detailing a crowd of details concerning the precautionary measures taken by the various sanitary authorities, and by giving admission to endless letters on the subject, an artificial and factitious interest and excitement about smallpox is being aroused which is most in- jurious, for the matter has now got to such a pitch that people outside London are panic- stricken, and are afraid either to come to London themselves or to allow members of their families to do so." Thus saith The Hospital." But we think (says a contem- porary) it is necessary to point out that the real scaremongers were not the newspapers but the members of the medical profession It was the latter gentlemen who made the I flesh of Londoners creep, and engineered a vaccination boom. The newspapers merely followed their carefully calculated lead. And now, when the profession is pocketting the financial results, it is rather hard, and not a little ludicrous, to turn round on the Press and charge it with terrifying the public. On Thursday a meeting was held in the Library at Lambeth Palace by the Central Association for Stopping the Sale of Intoxi- eating Liquors on Sunday. The chair was occupied by the Bishop of Hereford, in the absence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. On the motion of the Marquis of Northamp- ton, seconded by the Rev Marshall Randies and supported by Lord Kinnaird, the follow- ing resolution was unanimously adopted:— That as the Sunday closing of public houses has been unquestionably fraught with mueh good to the people of Scotland, of Ireland, of Wales, and the colonies, this meeting deplores the prolonged delay in ex- tending similar beneficent legislation to England; it believes that the present time is peculiarly opportune for pressing the claims of Sunday closing upon legislators; and therefore earnestly calls for combined and vigorous action on the part of the churches, temperance, and other philan- thropic organisations; and appeals to re- formers and politicians of all political parties to unite in a great effort to obtain from Parliament this great boon for the people
The Corruptive Habits of the…
The Corruptive Habits of the Age. A SERMON WHICH HAS STIRRED. At Bethania Baptist Chapel on Sunday evening last, the Rev J. Williams nnstnr. delivered to a large congregation a most powerful and telling sermon. Dwelling upon what he considered to be the vices of the age, he said that drifting from perfection was the peril of the day. They drifted un- awares upon the storm-tossed waves of society, away from the secure moorings of the principles of the New Testament. The rev gentleman then vividly illustrated the grave peril of drifting by comparison with the awful plight of a rudderless vessel. The illfated ship would deviate from her course in spite of all the efforts of her crew, and be subjected entirely to the mercy of the waves and the elements. Conscience was the rudder of mankind. Where were their rudders ? Where were their charts that they should be helplessly at the mercy of th& waves and fast drifting to self-destruction —destruction on the rocks of temptation. And that in the very teeth of life itself by heedlessly playing with sin and corruption. Young people needed great strength to resist the temptations which offered themselves on all sides. Surrounding influences caused people to drift farther and farther from the moorings of the Christian faith. Where were they going to in Cardigan and district? What were the habits of the clubs ? What were the games of chance that were so freely indulged in ? Indeed, he feared, that on a smaller scale Cardigan was a typical Monte Carlo He strongly entreated the young to avoid gambling—they knew not where it may eventually land them. The young man who played with his halfpenny, placed his foot on the road that lead to gambling-an accursed practice:which had been the means of ruining some of the best characters. Re- ferring to theatre going, Mr Williams said he was afraid that the theatre would not exist on its own merits, it must have its liquor box—the soul of its existence. A person had written him the other day con- cerning the deplorable influence the football craze had upon the populace in Wales, and lamented its re-introduction into Cardigan. It would certainly be more profitable to those people if they were to devote more time and energy to training and developing their minds and less to the training and developing of their legs. He appealed to the young to be strictly on the look-out, lest the surrounding influenceo would carry them away-away far, far be- beyond the point of redemption. If they desired to be safe Jand be protected from the damnable habits of the age, let them keep good distances from such evil influences. He had been asked whether the games played at the Liberal and Conservative Clubs were injurious. He would reply by putting a few counter-questions. Did par- ticipation in those games prove an advan- tage to the players? Was it the kind of culture they needed? Was it the most profitable way of spending their leisure hours? Another question suggested itself that day. It was whether dancing and its accompaniments were a sin. By way of reply he would ask whether a dance was a good medium for the promotion and promul- gation of the Gospel ? If they satisfied this question he would endeavour to answer theirs. At the usual meeting of the church members after the service, the Rev J. Williams made some further remarks which he assured them they were at perfect liberty to carry outside and make what use they chose of them. He hoped that men of pure character, irrespective of this act, would henceforth be elected members of their pub- lic bodies. He (the speaker) would not support the man who sought to honor his function and court popularity through what he termed a nonsensical medium. Let them pray God that their leaders would not hesitate in doing anything except that which had a tendency to purify the moral and spiritual atmosphere which they breathed- Not many would attend a dance without its other attractions—they would become tired of a dance in half-an-hour. The Rev J. Williams took his text from Hebrews ii. 1., Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip." The sermon was delivered in Welsh, and has caused considerable stir throughout the town.
Trap Accident
Trap Accident A trap accident, which might have been attended with more serious consequenses, occurred on Saturday afternoon last. It ap- pears that Mrs Parry Pryse of Noyadd-tre- fawr, and her coachman were driving in a four-wheel dogcart, to which a pair of horses were attached, from Cardigan, when opposise Fernbill the animals took fright. The middle rein broke, and the coachman fell from the dogcart, which was pulled into the ditch. The horses bolted, and ran for fully two miles,when they were eventually stopped by a commercial traveller (who was driving in the company of another gentleman to Newcastle Emlyn) at the top of the hill in the vicinity of Alltbwla. In the meantime, Mrs Parry Pryse had jumped from the dog- cart between Fernhill and Parkybwla, and was not seriously injured but severely shaken. Dr Powell, Newcastle Emlyn was sent for, and we are pleased to learn that the unfortunate lady is progressing favourably. I ♦
LLANDYSSUL.
LLANDYSSUL. FOUND DEAD.—On Thursday morning Miss Sarah Hughes, of Sign Cottage, Llandyssul, was found dead on the floor at her residence. Deceased who was 33 years of age and lived alone, bad been in poor health for some time. The deceased was found lying in a pool of blood, death it it is believed, having been due to the bursting of a blood vessel.
