WELSH JOTTINGS.

The Goleuad censures Mr.. Asquith for his
breVity in introducing the measure and
the remainder of the papers are full of
criticism as unnecessary as they are ca
PRECIOUS.
The Genedl points out the failings of the
hill which are innumerable, and raves in
n mild manner over the proposed retention
of the four cathedrals by the Established
church. 1t also objects to the compensa-
ton proposed to be given TO Clergymen,
although the principle has been settled
matter for a considerable period
A special correspondent of the Manches-
ter Guardian U.iberaD writes: II must
confess that to my mind Liberal prospects
at present in Wales do not appear to be by
any means so bright as they ought TO be,
and the darkened outlook must, TO great
extent, be attributed to Liberal apathy and
mismanagement The Tories in every
constituency are reported to be working
most actively, the Church party in par
ticular having made up their mind to fight
the next election with desperate energy.
A special correspondent of the Manchcs-
ter Courier Conservative writes: wales
Is bcginning to get tired of Radicalism; it
Is not the panacea for all social evils which
the people were led to believe it was.
They have been disappointed by their lead
RS; such disappointment the union.Sts
should he wise enough to take advantage
of. The Welsh people have n strong in
stinctiVc respect for the aristocracy. With
| Kindness, aifablity and attention on The
| mart of our leading men, that respect
would be kindled with enthusiasm. They
begin to see that the agitation against

| A perusal of the Welsh press at the pres
ent time is more interesting than usual,
! especially to Welshmen in this country
who are so far removed from the scene
| of strife over the diSestabliShment bill.
Some of the vernacular papers are, with
| out doubt, guilty of sentiments which
harass their party and impede the progress
| of the bill. Their vindictive utterings
prove concusively that they are actuated
| by spiteful motives rather than desire
| for the removal of a national anomaly.
The rawlings over some portions of the bill
are childish and almost bordering on
| idiocy, and are IL correct indication that
the writers are fiery partisans provoking
| mischief and dissension in their own party
rather than harmony to attain the end de-
sired for so many generations.
| The latest OF Lord Rosebery's expert
ences in connection with the singing Of
Welsh hymns Mt the great Canton meet

huge trained choir, is not generally known
Speaking to Herbert Roberts, NJ. T., the
premier recently declared that though 1t
| had been his privilege to listen to the
classic music of German and English
OPERAS none, he emphatically assured his
friend, had left the indelible impression on
his mind which the singing of "Bydd
myrdd o ryfeddodau'' and other hymn
| tunes did on that memorable night. Lord
| Windsor and DR.. Macken2le's tributes to
the singing of the vast assembly at the
Pontypridd eisteddfod our readers will
remember, were stll more llatterng. -
