INDUSTRIAL LIFE IN GERMANY. For several months past successive parties of British working men have been visiting IR-erman in order to see for themselves the y I sctual conditions of industrial life and labour in that country, and to find out for them- selves the true faets regarding the bogeys" of black bread and horseflesh, which Free Trade orators have elected to adopt as their chi-ef p,atform stock-ii-tr.ade. 'I'h-e reports of the members of th-e first threi:? tours ire n,ow ava, -,ble for g?ei,,eral exaninatio ?* L n. They have been published in a volume of 520 pages by the Tariff Reform League. This valuable compilation will be most welcome and useful to all who are anxious to promote the cause of Tariff Reform; and we should be glad if we could anticipate an equally wide circula- tion for the book among the unconverted and the perverted. These reports are indeed a hard nut for the propagators of misrepre- sentations regarding German industrial life and conditions. They present, without sup- pression or alteration, the independent opin- ,ons of British work*ln-Y rion o?? a.1' pol't;eil I I I parties and of no party. The writers in many cases go out of their way to protest in- dignantly against the attempts made by some speakers and the Radical Press to represent their inquiries as a "put-up job;" but, even without their reiterated assurances that they conducted their investigations without re- strictions and in their own way, no one per- using these reports could mistake the honesty and frankness with which the numerous dele- gates have recorded their various—and often opposite—points of view. On the main points there is a general consensus of opinion. The horseflesh and black-bread bogeys are utterly exploded. There is universal testimony to the well-being of the German worker, especially the unskilled labourer. There is constant comment on the absence of slums, beggars, untidy women, tramps, and badly- shod children. There are ma.ny open avowals of an instantaneous ooversion to Tariff Re- form. The reports are written, for the most part, in homely and unadorned language which gives them a value and an interest all their own. They constitute a "human docu- ment" which is worth a cartload of Blue Books.

• DENBIGHSHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS. The Denbighshire Council recently dele- gated their powers in regard to education to the County Education Committee on the understanding that future meetings of the committee would be held alternately at Den- bigh, Wrexham, and Colwyn Bay, instead of at Chester, which is, of course, outside the county. At Friday's meeting of the com- mittee it was resolved to request the County Council to reconsider their instruction. Naturally the Wrexham, Llangollen, and other east-county representatives strongly advocated the status quo, but the balance of the argument cannot be said to be on their -ide. Indeed, apart from the inconsiderable !)oint of the conven;&-noe of the maj<)ritv, it d*ffiictlit to find any -excii,e for the, exijtinop ,)ra-eticc-. Gra-nbing that Chester s co I n- veniently reached from all parts of the county it is surely unreasonable to let that Lact outweigh other important considerations which affect the question. It is unjust to insist that Llanrwst, Colwyn Bay, Denbigh, tnd other west-county members shall be, year n year out, mulcted in heavy railway and other expenses, not to mention loss of time incurred upon visits to Chester, whilst their colleagues from Wrexham and Llangollen "scape at about one-third the cost. One re- sult of this practice is that the business of the committee is controlled by the east-county members to an undesirable extent. Neither should patriotism be completely overlooked :n a matter of this kind. The endeavour to remove the assize courts to Chester has roused .t justifiable amount of opposition largely on t,he score that Welsh business should be con- < ducted on Welsh soil. If the County Educa- tion Committee find it necessary to conduct 'heir proceedings at Chester the County *1 mi, o rine, mht log,*cally be iexpect,?<1 to do tb? We hope the County Council will ad- iiere to their instruction.

In both of these laudable endeavours he was enthusiastically supported by MTS Gough. One of the best tributes w his work was the. memorial presented by the islanders to his late Majeety King Edward, praying for an extension of his excellency's term of office, an appeal which was acceded to, in the words of the Jersey "Evening Post" —"to the unbounded delight of Jerseymen of all classe-s-high and low, rich and poor. On His Excellency's appointment the "Post" expressed the hope that "with the advent of Major-General Gough as our Lieutenant- Governor a new era—an era of peace, pros- perity and contentment—would open which would render Major-General Gough's tenure of the high office memorable in the annals )f our insular history." The journal now adds "Our hopes have been fully realised. By consummate tact and skill the dark cloud which then hung over the Island speedily dispersed and peace, quiet and contentment held unfettered Bway." "We assert," pro- ceeds the writer, "without fear of contra- diction that he carries away with him the affection of the inhabitants." To &ay that His Excellency and Mrs Hugh S. Gough have made themselves intensely popular is merely to state a fact; and in taking leave of th-em we will bid them not 'Adieu' but 'Au Tevoir, sincerely hoping they will re-visit the Island, whero they can confidently rely on a warm and hearty reception."
Victory for Electricity.

Victory for Electricity. An experiment of more than local interest bearing upon the respective merits of gas and electric lighting has just been concluded at Llandudno. About two years ago Mr Wil- liam Thomas raised the question of re-placing the arc lamps on the Promenade by modem incandescent gas lamps, which he argued would bo found more economical and efficient than the former. The Council decided to carry out an exhaustive and careful experi- ment under the direct supervision of tho gaa manager and the electrical engineer, both of whom were naturally anxious to do their best for their departments. To-day week a 6pccial committee reported in favour of the electric light system, and on their recommendation the Council ordered the removal of the ex- perimental gas lamps forthwith, the only question now g being the advantage or otherwise of installing yellow-flame arc lamps instead of the ordinary white lamps. It will, no doubt, be satisfactory to the Pen- maenmawr Urban District Council to find that their decision last week to utilise electric light on the Promenade has been so complete- ly confirmed by the result of the inquiry at Llandudno. :t
Taxing Holiday Camps.

Taxing Holiday Camps. The Llandudno Council established an in- teresting and possibly profitable precedent to- day week-when they decided to impose cer- tain local taxes upon holiday camps. Lodging- house keepers are complaining of the unfair competition they experience from holiday camp proprietors; and rightly so for the camping-out business has developed largely during the last two or three years. It is computed that between three and four thousand visitors were acoommodated in camps throughout North Wales last season, and judging by the increased number of the camps thlis year, it is probable that that number will be very largely exceeded. Nevertheless, it is obvious- ly unfair that the local householder, who pays high rents, rates, taxes, water, gas and other charges, should be subjected to competi- tion from a person who manages what is virtually the same class of business which is exempt from ordinary taxation. The Llall- dudno Council are apparently bent upon levelling matters to some extent, and in all probability their example will be followed by other local authorities. T

Agricultural Education. From the report of the Agricultural Educa- tion Committee, presented at Friday's meet- ing of the Denbigh County Council, it appears that the special courses of instruction in agriculture at Bangor University College have been attended by over a hundred students "nearly all of whom are now farm- ing in the county, several filling important positions." This movement was initiated in the face of considerable opposition, and it is distindly gratifying tc see such excellent re suits accruing from it. The farmer, no less than the farm-owner, is more and more realis- ing th.? importance of intellectual equipment in furthering the interests of the industry, ft is in the scientific and methodical develop- ment of agriculture that the future hope of the agriculturist very largely lies, and the closer we follow the example of Germany and France in this department of education the better it will be for the country in general.

THE CENSUS BILIJ, "RELIGIOUS PROFESSIONS" NOT TO BE STATED. VIEWS OF WEIJSH MEMBERS. The House of Commons went into Committee on the Census (Great Britain) Bill on Tue-clay. Mr Ilawlinson moved an amendment provid- ing that persccis should be asked to state their religious profession- He did not believe any section, of, the people would object to fill up the column. He agreed, however, that no penalty should bo exacted from persons who omitted to fill up this part of the return. Mr William Joiaes (Arfon) objected on prin- ciple to any inquisition being made into any man's religious belief. The State had no right to ask sudh questions from individuals. Thou- sands of people ivoul.dt resent the question, and the returns would be worthless undier this head. People having no particular religious belief were accustomed to describe themselves as belonging to tho Church of England!, and if the prison statistics were to be believed, there was an over- whelming preponderance of Anglicans among the criminal population (laughter). He pointed out that on Ma.rdh 28, 1S06, according to statis- tics which had been published, there were in the prisons of Wales 106 Roman Catholics, 87 Nonconformists, and ZÓ9 Anglc-aris. Whatever might be the statistics with regard to Wales, theiei was mot a sin-,gle bishop or Churchman in the Principality who would dare assert that the Nonconformists were not in a majority. If the--v were. in a majority was it fair to say 369 Ang r's weile en'min?l: w? against B7 NcLicon- 'lea f-orjtij'sti and 106 Roman CatL?olics? That was not fair to the Anglicans (laughter). Mr Ormesby Gore deprecated the tendency to treat this a& a Welsh question. They would have the figures rela.ting to W ales when the Church Commission announced their findings, and b-e deplored1 the fact that this Commission were so long in produc:ng iv-ports (hear, hear). In lrelana, they invariz ? ?ly had, 98 p-er cent. <)f the population, making the return, ajid he would be the last to suggest that there were more people indifferent to religion in England and Wales thaia there were in Ireland- The accusa- tion made by previous speakers that there were a large number of religious "indiiferentists" in Wales was altogether baseless. There was. no part of the British Dominions where religion had a greater bold on the papulation than in the Principality. They were building no fewer than three new churches in North Wal-es-(hcar, hear)—and! yet hon. members were always re- ferring to the Church in Wales as though it were a dwindling minority. They were told t,hat "Ili the Di 'o of St. DavidFs t?e ch,urclies ooor only provided seating accommodation for 20 per cent, of tlhe population. Wihere did the hon. mem bar who stated this get his figures from No reliance could' be placed on the wild, reckless, and loose statistical information which had been gathered from unofficial sources, and it was of the utmost importance that they should have a oensus which would show whether the number of persons in favour of undenomi- national instruction was larger than the number in favour of denominational instruction. He nopeod the era) of unofficial statistics with regard to religious questions had come to an end not merely in Wales, but. also in England, and that they would. have a religious column in the census for Great Britain, just as they had it in Ireland and in most civilised countries (hear, hear). Mr Herbert Lewis pointed out that the cir- cumstances of Ireland differed materially from the condition prevailing in Britain. Every body in lilelami, professed a, religion, and the lines of demarcation between sects were sharply marked. Lord Hugh Cecil (Lb, Oxford), Mr T. M. Healy (N., Louth, N.), and Sir C. A. Cripps, K.C. (U., Wycombe') continued the discussion. Mr Llewelyn Williams said he intervened only to reply to an observation which had been mado with reference to his assertion that in the Diocese of St. David's seating accommodation had only been provided' for ZO per cent. of the population. Those figures had been challenged, but he adhered lo them. Half a million people lived) in that d.ooeee, and the parish churches provided' seating accommodation for only one hundred thousand. In the neighbouring diocese there was a population of over one million, and seating accommodation was provided for only 15 per cent. Mr Burns (President of the Local Government Board) haying opposed' the amendment, the House divided, and! the amendment was rejec- ted by 136 to 38.

WALES AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD. Mr John Burns, who has the advantage of having Mr Herbert Lew s at his elbow, has (says the London correspondent of the "Manch-rs'er Guirlian") forestalled the criticism of Welch members by announcing beforehand that of the women inspectors appointed utdor the L-cal Govcrment Board the one who is to have Wales under her supervision will h-a-ve a knowledge of the Wei h language.

CRITICAL WELSH MEMBERS. WELSH FACTORY INSPECTORS AND WELSH POSTMASTERS. MINE AND QUARRY INSPECTION. REPRESENTATION ON MINES COMMISSION. On Monday the following questions were put in the Houæ of Commons — Mr Lieweiyu Williams tR., Carmarthen District) asked th Hom-c Sevrai. iry bow many fautory inwpectiors Glid sU'b-iiisjHxMar. are oElnbgOO in Wales, how many of llveut respectively J-JW eonveisant wifcli Welsh, and whether in oc<xtpdi>g noniinjatiojiiS for the exaxomMion of esmuidates for suoh i-co^s the department- pays any legard to the demand that such poets should in Wales be filled by jersiins ,!Ô111,iÜ¡¡loo w,i!,ll the Welsh tongue- Mr Churchill (l-Iome Secretory) Five inspectors and two inspectors' as*is an\s are stationed in Walee, of whom four ins^ie-etons ajid 000 assistant speaik Welsh. T:ho supexinte-iufing ims-jKvU-r of ithe ddvwaon, includes the chic-I industrial centres of Wales, also Ej:euka Welsh. in the selection of candidates far r'()JnirHIion ef-n si deration is given to Welsh, and also in filing vacancies, but my friend will understand that no inspectors are appointed to the staff solely for service in Wales, end that there must be interchange on pro- motion with crihei' parts of the country. If this were not so the prospects of Wel-sii-epeaking inspectors might be prejudiced. POSTMASnRS TO SI'EAK WELSH. Mr Llewelyn Williams (R., Carmarthen District) asted the Pefi'rmastter-General whether he was aware 'that there exists a demand that postmasters in Welsh towns and villages should be acquainted with the Wefah language, and whether in making such a.p- poininienta in future he was prepared in the public intercrat to comply with the wishes of the people of Wales in this regard? Mr H. Soinuel (P< stmaster-Qer.eml) replied: I am aware that sue.h a demand exists. It is already the practice to appoint postfmsaters with a knowledge of the Welofl iftwilge in towns and viFla-ges in Wales where that language is ocmm/mly spoken. In the case of the more important offices the field of selection would he unduly limited if knowledge of Welsh were insisted upon as aal indispensable qwaUfte-aiion in aridi- ibkxi to the many oilier qualifications required. REPRESENTATION ON MINES COM- MISSION. Mr Walter Roeh asked the Heine Secretary what re- ply, if any, he had made to the complaint addressed to him by the owners of -the slate quarries with reference to the non-inclusion on the Mines Com- mission of any one with experience of open skite quarries; whether any of the members of the Mines Ocummission were aoquointed with the working of open slaite quarries, and wlretlier in view of the fact- that in two of the largest qiKiTries-- Di-norwic and Pwirtivn, in tihe county (A Cai narvon—m> less {ham one in three and one in five of the inside workers were injured 1e.'1t year, he would consider the desirability of strengthening t he Commission by the a;jj:oinstn;eir:t of a geirt'.eiman who had experieaiee of S'1lCh quarries. Mr Cliureliill I have received letters irlm two own- ers of the smaller otpe-n slate quarries in North Wales asking for t;h, appiintiment on the new Coinmi-sioin of a-n addiiiicin-al reiptefjeii'taiion of these quarries. Mr R. N. G-reavee, vnhoni I selected as a.n owner-representa- tive of the slate industry in North Wales, has had ex- perience of wordllg both by open quarrying and by mining, arid Mt R. T. Jones, who was selected as the represen'atire of the workmen, is genera) secretary of the North Wales Quarrymen's Union, and I am in- formed that the union includes both the open slate quarries and the slate mines. In these circumstances, I am doubtful if any advantage would be obtained by additions to -the Commission, which is a.J.roody a large one. The Commission will, no doubt-, take evidelwe as SIZE OF THE COMMISSION. Mr Ellis Davies asked whether, seeing that all the accidents toO whidl inquiries had been directed had beem in open quarries, be would not apipoAntt on the Commission a single man who had had experience of open quarries. Mr Churchill said he was very anxious to keep the Commission within reasonably manageable dimensions. l'he tendency of iricrearing- the number of members would be to prolong the deliberations of the Commis- sion. If the hon. gentleman made out a special case, he would very carefully consider the mat-ties'. Mr Davies: In view of the fact that one in three of the workmen engaged in open quarries were injured for two years in suceessi-oin, will the rifpht hon. gentle- man not have the appointment made of someone can- veTiaut with the real difficulty of the Open quarry? Mr Churchill: I have no other wish than to meet the general sense of the H()'uo as bo the formation and com- position of a Royal Commission, but I do trust the im- portance of keeping the number small will be borne in nui.n d fhear, he-sir). MINE AND QUARRY INSPECTION IN NORTH WALES. Mr Ellis D.vies asked the Heille Secretary whether the Chief Inspector of Mines and Quarries for North Wales was supposed to visit and inspect the open slate quarries and when and om how many occaeaoins ,tc,r) fhe, 61,DAe qitar- Mr Hall (the ]Lympe. ries of CarnarViTisJiiire during the last two years. Mr Churrhill: The mspeotor in charge of a district i9 responsible for the ad mi ni-jtrr. tion of the acle in mines and quarries throughout his district. He shares in tlie work of inspection, but as the general work of administration fal's upon him, including heavy cor- respondence, pj-eparatdwi of the annual report and statistics, and other matters, the bulk of the work of inspection necessarily falls offl his assist;nrte, two of whom are sta-tioned in North Waks for this purpose. Under tho new arrangements, however, which come into force on lat June, I hope that the inspectors in charge of districts will be abk to devote more time to the work of imslediOln. As regards the second part of the question, I have not the infcwniatdon asked for, as my hon. flrdend is aware Mr HaAl has now retired from the service tinder the age rule. Mir Davies asked if the right horn, gentleman was aware that notwithstanding the serious nmture of acci- dents in these quarries the Chief Inspector had not visaed the quarries for the kurt three years. No answer was given. A QUESTION OF LANGUAGE. Mr Davies awked the Home Secretary whether the newly-a.ppoin!e.d Chief Inspector of Mines in Nort,h Wa'.es was Wckh-spralang, in accordance with the provision oonlained in Section 39 of SO and 51 Vic., Co 58. Mr Churchill: The Inspector recently appointed to take charge of the Liverpool and North Wales ddfutriet does not, I believe, speak Welsh, North Wales forms only the smaller part of his district. It has never been suggested, so far as I a-m aware, that tihe in- gpector in charge of this district aliould nece#nrJly be Welsh-speaking. The three asKi-atant inspectors (,-no of whom is stationed a.t Bangor, and the other two at Chester) all speak Welsh, and this sectre to ma.ke ampe provi-aon for the needs of the Welsh) portion of the district. Mr Davies asked if the appointment for a non-Wflkii speaking inspector in North Wales was in accordance with the section to which reference was made. Mir Churchill: Yes, sir. I am advised it is so. There must be a certain movement of t.he inspectors in an established service. So far as possible, the in- spectcrs whose duties are in Wales aire all mainly cog- nisant with the Welsh language. Mr Dnvie3: Am I to imdensttaoid that the legaj officers .lave advised tihe right hon. geatleman that, tho appointment cuf a non-Webli-«peakiing imepector in North Wa'« complies with (lie specific proviaons of this particular s'.at-ute? Mr Churchill I am advised that we have kept our- selves scrupulously wifbin the limits of the law. Mr Davies By the law offim"? M.r Af ill ley Do the three aesietant^iinspecitors also gpetik Emglish? (laughter). Mr Churchill: Yes, I belie^'e they do (renfm exl laugh ier).
