NOTES FROM WALES. oppression and injustice of the employers. The problem of the relation of capital and labor is too complicated to be solved satisfactorily without a thorough investigation into all the questions involved. On one hand we find employers rapidly developing into millionaires and on the other the ordinary laborer sinking into lower depths of poverty. Capital in various ways secures the advantageof monoply as regards markets and prices, while the workingman is at the mercy of his employer, without protection for his labor or for the rate of his earnings; for the labor market is artificially or by special inducements supplied from foreign sources. We do not think that this condition of things is due to the present policy of either of the great political parties, which appeal to the suffrages of the people, but rather to the present system of social or industrial economy which prevails in the relations of capital and labor. NOTES FROM WALES. Ar a meeting of the executive of the North Wales Congregational College at Rhyl, on Friday, the Rev. E. Herber Evans, D.D.. was appointed principal of the College, and it was decided to amalgamate the Bala and Bangor Colleges at Bangor. A BALLOT of the North Wales Quarrymen's Union has resulted by a large majority in favor of a strike owing to the refusal of the employers to give an average daily wage of 5s to skilled The Council of the quarrymen. Union will defer farther action pending a reference to two arbitrators. We are sorry to hear that Dr. Evans, the new professor of Hebrew, at Bala Theological College, is in very indifferent health, and not likely to be able for a considerable time to take his up duties. He is staying at present at Menai Bridge. 255 SIR EDWARD WATKIN, M. P., has placed a remarkably fine flag-pole on the summit or Snowdon.
