TO THE PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORS OF THE WESTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF CARMARTHEN. GENTLEMEN, At the request of a large and m- fluential body of Electors, I offer myself as a Candidate for your votes at the Election for West Carmarthenshire.. As regards the prominent question of the day, "Ireland," I consider that a Government that in three years has done so much to suppress outrage, and restore peace, and consequently prosperity to that country, is worthy of support. I am strongly of opinion that it is the duty of the House of Commons to insist that Irish questions shall no longer be allowed to occupy its time to the exclusion of all other necessary legislation. I am of opinion that the occupiers of land have been placed in a position with regard to the pay- ment of Tithes that is inconsistent with the spirit of the Tithe Commutation Act," and with a view to put an end to the present unsatisfactory state of affairs, I shall be prepared to vote for any proposal making it compulsory on both Tithe owners and Land owners to redeem the existing Tithes at a fair price on the present value. I am desirous of seeing the laws relating to Land simplified, and I shall be prepared to support any well considered Measure for the regulation of agricultural tenancies. The Church is not a practical question at the present time, and can only como before the country at a General Election. Local Government—which has given us free roads and a large additional grant in aid of Rates —has my thorough approval, and I hope to see the principle extended. I shall support any scheme whereby Government loans may be advanced for the construction; of light railways, to open up remote but important districts. The stability of the present Government, and their avoidance of foreign complications, has done much to encourage the steady advance in trade, and consequent improvement in agricultural prospects, and if you return me as your Representative they will receive my general support. Connected as I am with one of your oldest County families, I readily pledge myself, if elected, to devote my best energies to the furtherance of your local interests. is "J r, I remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, HUGH H.

TO OUR READERS. We hope to be able to insert our usual Railway Time Tables in our issue for next week. -THE EDITOR.

ONCE more West Carmarthenshire is the scene of an election contest; the actors are changed, but the same comedy of Home Rule is before the audience. From platform and pulpit ring the appeals to vote for the Home Rule candidate. Why ? Because a majority of the Irish people demand it Because England has governed Ireland unjustly"— Because the Union has proved a failure Because Coercion is the only alternative." Let us examine these arguments in the light of fact and reason. If Home Rule is to be granted to Ireland because a majority of her people desire it," then we must apply the same principle to each division and county of the kingdom. No says the Home Ruler the Irish are a nation and should be treated as a nation." If Ireland has a right to de- mand Home Rule on the ground of distinct nationality, she can also demand the other rights of nationality, viz., to chose her own Government; to maintain her own array and navy; to control her own trade and taxation and as a necessary consequence to separate from England if she so desire. These are the rights of nationality, but not even the great leader of the Home Rule movement will venture to assert, they can be granted to our sister island. If, on the ground of nationality, Ireland may claim Home Rule, she may at any future time also claim separation. Ire- land is not a distinct nation. Of the popu- lation of Ireland by far the greater part is of British descent" (Mr Gladstone, June 26, 1886, Daily News). When the English in- vaded Ireland in 1170, they found, not a dis- tinct nation, but a number of nations or tribes with no bond of union between them, and composed even at that remote time of a mixed race calling itself Celtic, but strongly im- pregnated with Danish and Spanish blood. For 200 years the English settlers inter- married freely with the native Irish, still further diluting the pure blood upon which the monstrous claim of to-day is based. Whatever of Parliamentary Institution Ire- land has enjoyed whatever of National cohesion she can boast-she owes all to Eng- land. We are told England has governed Ireland unjustly," those who use this argu- ment do not consider the circumstances that have led to that unjust treatment they for- get the two rebellions during the reign of Elizabeth for the avowed object of assisting the Spaniards in their attack upon England. They forget the massacres that took place a few years later, when the Irish rose against 0 the English settlers and committed the greatest atrocities. They forget the persecution of the Protestants during the reign of James II., when some 3000 were condemned to death without trial. They for- get all this, and only remember that with these events fresh in their minds, the Irish Protestant Parliament of William III. pro- tected itself by penal laws against the Catholics, laws that to us appear indefensible, but which if read by the light of those rough days present a very different aspect. Then the Union has proved a failure." To form an opinion of this assertion we must consider the state of Ireland before the Act of Union. For 18 years Ireland had enjoyed (1) the nearest approach to Home Rule that she has ever experienced. After 18 years of Home Rule, the High Chancellor stated in the Irish Parliament, February 10th, 1800—" We have not three years of redemption from bank- ruptcy or intolerable taxation, nor one hour's security against the renewal of enterminating civil war. Session after session have you been compelled to enact laws of unexampled vigour and novelty to repress the horrible ex- cesses of the mass of your people," and again, "We have increased the public debt in the last year 6! millions, and this year eight millions to keep down the brutal fury of the Irish people, who have been goaded to madness by every wicked artifice that disappointed faction can devise, and to protect the country from foreign invaders openly solicited by a gang of Irish traitors." These words of Lord Clare are fully endorsed by a glance at the financial state of Ireland during this period; the export trade of Ire- land during the Grattan Parliament declined in every item from 10 to 80 per cent. the ship building trade which is a safe criterion of prosperity, was reduced to one-third. Whereas the effect of the Act of Union was an immediate impulse to trade; imports and exports increasing 50 and 23 per cent. respectively, while the enormous in- crease in articles of consumption gave ample evidence of the beneficial effect of the Union with Great Britain. There is one more argu- ment to reply to, viz.: That the only alter- native to Home Rule is Coercion." This can be best answered by the assertion that the first Act of a Home Rul Parliament must be an Act of Coercion. At present we have in Ireland two distinct people—a half bred race of Irish, thriftless, discontented, and rebel- lious;: and a race of hard-headed Scotchmen settlers, who by thrift and hard work have made the least productive province of II eland a centre of commerce and wealth. These latter represent the intelligence, the wealth, the industry, and the loyalty of Ireland. They will refuse to transfer their allegiance, and their lives, and property, to a Dublin Parliament of Parnellites, and the first Act of that Parliament must be to coerce them. If the Irish have a claim to Home Rule on the plea of nationality, these Ulster settlers have a yet stronger claim to be the rulers of their own destinies. If they elect to remain loyal to England, and claim the protection of that Act of Union to which we were solemn contracting parties, we have no right to tear up that Act, and hand them over to their avowed enemies.

WHO IS MR. WILLIAMS-DRUMMOND 1" In answer to the above question, a correspon- dent has favoured us with the following informa- mation to which we give publicity in the hope it will enlighten some anxious but well-meaning friends in Carmarthenshire, as to the personality of Mr Williams-Drummond. The bouth Wales Daily News of Monday's date lays great stress on Mr Williams-Drummond's being a "Drummond of Hawthornden" a Scotchman but is apparently unaware of the fact-or, if aware, suppresses it-that his mother was Miss Williams, of Edwinsford. The Editor is equally at sea in describing Mr Williams- Drummond as the son-in-law of Mr Cordes, whereas he is fortunate enough to have for his father-in-law the Hon. Mark Rolle, of Stevenstone and Bicton, one of if not the largest, and one of if not the most popular landowners in Devon- shire. It is curious that a paper professing to be the leading Liberal organ in these South Welsh counties should be ignorant that Mr Williams- Drummond's maternal grandfather, Sir James Hamlyn Williams, represented this county in Parliament for many years, and it is a significant sign of how far the Radical tail of the old Liberal party has drifted from its moorings, when you find its teachers wholly unaware, or utterly for- getful, of one whose name was one to conjure with throughout the length and breadth of Carmarthenshire, in the days when the Liberal party did yeoman service in fighting and winning the battle of Reform. Mr Williams-Drummond's address naturally (?) fails to commend itself to the Radical Editor's high requirements, yet it is somewhat curious that almost at the exact time when Mr Williams- Drummond was actually writing that address, Mr Gladstone was telling his admirers at Cardiff that Ireland was the question of the day, and that the Disestablishment of the Welsh Church was not a topic to be discussed now

MR. LLOYD MORGAN AND MR. GLADSTONE. Mr Lloyd Morgan, in his address to the electors of West Carmarthenshire, goes in for the Disestablishment of the Church, not only in Wales, but also in England and Scotland. In the same address he swears by Mr Gladstone as his great leader." It would be well if the disciple showed a little more deference to the teaching of his master on this great question. The latter, in his speech at St. Austell, on June 12th, made use of these words Well, now, Disestablishment is both a vast I and varied subject so far as England is concerned. t I apprehend there are few of you who think that a legislative settlement of that question is very near at hand. It is a subject of the deepest complexity, and attended with the greatest possi- ble differences of opinion. I do not think that the most sanguine among you would presume to say that there has yet been in England a distinct pronouncement of the national voice upon the subject of Disestablishment. You see, or you believe you see, a movement of opinion in that direction, and I believe that you are wisely content to watch those results which are achieved in this country when the due season has arrived. Naturally at my time of life such a subject is placed beyond all possibility of contact with myself. If it ever comes it will come to a prepared people. It will come without the bitterness which unfortunately has too much marked our recent conflicts on the subject of Irish privileges. It will come, I think, to the great religious community which will have learned before that time to disavow all selfish depen- dencies upon the temporal and secular arm, which will know that the Establishment is one thing and that the Church is another thing, and which will have ample means undoubtedly, if the spirit be not wanting to provide, to fill up whatever void might be caused by the withdrawal of the support from national property which the Church may now be considered to receive. That is all I. mean to say on the subject of English Dises tablishment."
