SIXTEENTH YEAR. IVTIIE TITHE WAR IN WALES. The Patient Toflers of the Oliffs and Col- lieries Rising in Self Defense. FIGHTING THE ENGLISH CHURCH The Revival of Welsh National Feel- ing and Language On " the Sig of the Times—The swih of Ruie the Home Idea, A Sketch of Wales, ANNELLY, Sept, 16.—[New York Her. ald Cable~Special to the Bee.]—The revival of Welsh national feeling is one of the signs of the times. Then the language which was lately dying out is now being revived and its use actually inereasing and spr pieturesqne Eistedfodd, the ann for the competition of essays in poetry and singin -, is carried on with inereasing enthu siasm in the various towns of the prineipal- ity in the vernacular language, with the an- cient druidical ceremonies which the sons of Wales, who honored these gatherings in days of yore, held in most respect. — With Welsh- men the talent of music is inborn and it is eurious to see the rustic lovers quartet parti 8inging 1n the country lanes. Learning is estecmed and the popular outery for educa- tional facilities has been partly satisfied by the institution of colleges at Benger and € diff. Abeystwick colleze was literally found- ed’with the people’s pence. The national re- ligion is evangel Protesta nts of varions denominations, so ealled dissenters, worship mostly in the Welsh lang he people inhabit clean whit lls and in valle unobtru- sive, hospl THERE 18 A TOUCIL OF SADNESS in their capacity for enthusiasm, They vol- untarily mamtain their own religious ser- vices and aid missionary efforts to an extent disproportionate to their means, There is a remarkable absence of erime. Such are the actual tillers of the soil in South Wales, The The manors and workmen are equally devout and hl‘\_k" biding. Al these have a high ideal of a good life, a thirst for knowledge and an aetive sympathy with the younger aspirant iers of Glamorganshire and the quar- of Carnarvonshire assist out of their ily wages in the foundation of seholarships to maintain lads atcollege, Many country ehapels elub to educate students of promising literary or musical talent. Apart. from these there is the other class composed of the squires, clergy and officialdom, forming a suall minority of supercelious people, who attend the Eaglish churches, which use the snglish languay formerly their oppressors, but in the election of 1863 many of the tenants voting liberal were ejected from their hever to be forgotten or forgiven—and they ave now powerless, The ballot extended the franehise but the evil spirit still remains. Muany of the elergymen scorn intercourse with the dissenting ministers and decline to co-operate with them and claim the wmonop- oly of the christian r on. The people generally do not respeet the cloth, A com- mon saying among the Welehmen is, “If he is too stupid or worthless to live, make him aclergyman.” There are some exceptions but the personnel of the English church in Wales is not satistactor; TIE COUNTRY IS ESSENTIALLY POOR, and farmed by small yearly tenants, with no pital and content to live from hand to mouth. Their position is always precarious. They are attached to home, but many emi- grate. They love to go together and remain in the sound of the oid language. There are Welsh colonies in Illin Patagonia and Australia, The British parliament is re- garded as predominantly Euglish, and the ‘Welsh question is shelved and e sponse given on the promotion of educ and the use of the Welsh language. T establishment of the church and the settle- antof the landed tenant question, s such points of legislation for Wales in ac- cordance with Welsh ideas, are earnestly wished. They seemed tll lately unattaina- DBle, but Mr. Gladstone's Irish proposals have struck a responsive chord, for they want the lowe rule themselves if they let Ireland have it. The Welsh elections are overwnelmingly Gladstonian, and Chamberlain and Har tonare barely listened to. In the mean- time, an extensive demand is made for more energy from the Welsh members in the com- mons, There continuesa great deal of corre- spondence on the question in the Welsh newspapers, but a considerable consensus of opinion holds that no actual home rule asso- ciation ean be just yet, but is quite likely to Dbe soon founded. At the present moment at- tention is oceupied with a tithe controversy. Itis to understand that PAY) OF TITAES from two pownts of view. The firstis strictly legal, tor all land in England from an early period has been subject to the payment of a tenth part of its produce for the support of the church. This is a clumsy ar- rangenient and productive of dickering. For if, instead of 1 ne of school lands with their school grants,from the proportio the produce of all lands were given, the lega title of the church would be quite elear, Or ifthere is no chureh, then the nation should pax the tithes and not the land owners or oceupiers, who have never acquired that tenth ol the produce, ‘Till 1836 tithes wero colleeted in kind, but now in England and Wiles they are paid in money, also from the farms in tland. Frow the owner's point of view ront and tithes together make a kindly, British azviculture is very depressed, some say “played out.” Awmerican produce s so eheap that the Welsh farmers are the least uhle to hold out, The tithe is now some- times a sixth part of the produet. Why pay this over to an alien chureh if 1t is not our vropert; Butif a national chureh, then let the tax eolleetors take the tithes and relieve the poorrate to promote educational estab- lishments, Why should Wales support an wnaceoptable religion?

WaASHINGTPN, Sept. 16.—[S gram to the Bk |—The decorators at the white house are in a quandary as to what to do with the terrible mess they have made of | the historical blue room. The delicate and lovely painting of this exquisite room was done in Arthw’s time by Tiffany and was the perfection of art. When the local paint- ers got into the house this summer under the supervision of the superintendent of publie buildings, they thought they had discovered that the lower part of the walls of the blue room had faded. Now the design of Tiffany had been a graduation of blue, and for the delicate light tint the new artists thought they had discovered a fading. So orders were given for a grand dado of sky blue. ONl the anguish of the artists when they dis- covered their awful blunder. But worst of all was the hideous effect the ultra marine had on the délieate robins eggs blue. But the damage had been done and the best had to be made of it, so the painters manfully went to work, and when the room was given its first coat it was a veritable nightmare. What exactly to do they knew not, but to-day the “artists” were very busy in tiying to “lighten” the shades on the hideous ultra- marine to soften ivdown. There were three painterson a ladder trying the effect of a light sea green on one of the shutters, The boss artist was mixing various colored blues in spots ou the floor, and “Iector,” the Ant- werp poodle, showing his utter disgust of tne whole affair by turning up his nose at each place of fresh punt. “Ileelor,” of late, has bezome quite the master of the white house.

This the robbers took and proceeded with Palmyer to the latter’s room where they secunred Then they left the house after warning Bluff and Palmyer not to " attempt to pursue them as they would be killed. The latter were too badly ™ frightened to do any- thing and the masked desperadoes escaped. Bluff' went immediately to Belleville, Ills., where he inforied the authorities of the rob- bery.

Some of this has already been given in these dis- patehies. The testimony of but one or two witnesses is really very important and no- where does it appear that the secreey 8o lon < maintained with reference to the case wis justiied. Undoubtedly the principal wit- ness was B. Doak, none of whose testimony has heretofore been published. John King and Charles Walterine are implicated to the extent of havi ol to do up some pro- nibitionists, but they never consumated the plans, “Their testimony confirms the general impression that the police and some of the eity oflicers were cognizant of the fact that there was to be trouble and were rather to aid than stop it.
