Some of my conntrymen abroad have
heard of the fanatic Welshman, DIR. Pan
Jones, who despite his heathenish name, is
Christian minister. The doctor is q
harmless socialistic agitator and he is
treated rs the innocent clown of the Welsh
press and the misguided fool of the Welsh
platform. The doctor is very mixed over
the land question and gave evidence be-
fore the Welsh land commission and dem
onstrated very clearly that he didn't
know what he meant in trying to express
opinions which he never held. Imagine,
therefore how hazy he was when trying
to reflect the opinions of others. He made
the most conflicting statements which
showed that he is a crank Of the irrespon-
sble type. A few years ago heyTisited
America and did nothing to disturb the
western hemisphere.

The South Wales tin plate trade is
Frightening up considerably owing to the
reduction of 4G per cent in the American
tariff on their production. The employers
anticipate such good run Of work as will
compensate them in some degree for their
troubles under the Mckinley tariff. The
Mckinley tariff was a most disastrous
piece OF legislation for the tin plate trade
and unless the Pitts burg tin plate workers
have considerably advanced by the emf
grafton OF South Wales workmen during
the depression there is, no doubt whatever.
that the Sonth Wales trade will be
doomed" at once.
Wales is country for taking census.
Some census is continually ON the tapis.
Some religious body is continually taking
census, then the bishops want a religious
Census. Recently the figures of the ma
tional census were published showing tine
number of Welsh-speaking residents Of
Wales and, Of course it is not satisfactory
to all. II people think that they can gauge
religious work by censuses, what terrible
mistake? Wales will soon be census
mad" For little less census" and more
senses we should be truly thankful.

Of Jehu Reno, country on the west coast

of the Welsh. The prince also delivered a
trenchant address on the iniquities Of the
liquor traffic.
