WELSH NEWS NOTES.

Steps are being taken to erect monu-
ment in memory of Llewelyn, the last in
dependent prince of Wales. The name of
the heroic Llewelyn recalls to mind the
days of Gwalias freedom and independ-
ence before the brutal onslaught of the
tribes who made up what is now known as
England proper. England and Wales
were at that time nations with separate
princes, but might prevailed against
right" and now after an interval of 800
years the descendants of the English
metropolis combine with the sons of
Wales in paying tribute to the last of the
Welsh princes. Lord Butte, Lord Ken
yon and other nobllities of Eng
lish extraction, are taking lead
ing interest in the question both by
their presence at the meetings and by
their contributions.
The overdraft of the Pontypridd els
teddfod committee at the bank now stands

posed of. The guarantors stand some
chance, therefore, of having u little OF

Two Catholic priests in Wales are
able to preach Welsh. One is Father
Hayde, of Cardiff; the other Is Father
Jones, of Carnarvon, native of Bala

The Es-Presidcnrs Weak Effort In Iis
Own Defense

own Hetsns0
Mr.. Harrison Is quite right in tho
position that an ex-president is not
necessarily n political deaf mute--if he
has anything pertinent to say. But
why does he describe himself as "a man
who has been honored by his fellow
citizens with the highes. civil plac In
the government?' Surely he knows
that his fcllow-ctizcns, that is 10 say,
majority Of them, never honorcd him
with any such place. On the contrary.
"a majority Of them went to the polls in
November, 1883. and expressed the
opinion that IL would bc best for Mr..
Harrison To continue the practice Of
law at indianapolis. 1t would probably
have been better for his fame II he had
done this; IL would certainly have
been better for the country. But the
eccentric operation of our electoral
machinery made him president against
the wishes of the people. For that he
was not to blame, but why recall it by
saying that his fellow citizens did a
deed of which they are innocent?
So far from objecting to Mr.. Harri-
sons being heard in his own defense,
every thoughtful American must feel
that the time has come when he Is
bound to speak, or allow the Judgment
of posterity to go against his admins

precedentcd series of votes Of want Of

tory that is not yet pronounced. If

failure Of confidence produced the al
most unparalleled spectacle Of coun-
try's suffering from want in the midst
of an excessive supply Of the neccs
saries Of life. The folly and criminal
ity of legislation, combined with the
greed of the monopolists who had been
allowed to dictate legislation for a
pecuniary consideration, had for once
in human history neutralized the ex-
traordinary bounty of heaven and
snatched from the mouth Of toll the
bread which its hands had earned.
While production had outrun the wants
OF the people, the course of distribution
had been so altered by ubiquitous laws
that distribution sat down by the side
of abundance, and died of starvation
under the shadow of storchouses full
of unstable food
These changes were made, not by
Mr. Harrison alone, but by laws which
received his assent Thus much was
done; much more was attempted. An
effort was made to take the control of
