Victoria in Ireland.

For the first time in nearly 40
years the sovereign of the British en-
pire yesterday set foot on Irish soil.
The welcome she received was most
enthusiastic, proving the chivalry and
loyalty of the Irish people, and the
warm esteem in which the Queen is
really held in all parts of the British
Islands. Perhaps a more opportune
time could not have been chosen for a
visit, for the war in South Africa has
made OF the Queen and her Irish sub
jects. mourners at the common bier of
the soldier dead. The Irish regiments
have paid on various occasions the
costly price exacted of the soldier, and
there are empty chairs in many Irish
homes. Victoria. with the Instincts of
a mother, feels keenly all the bereave-
ments that war has brought, and the
common sorrow places her in close
sympathy with the people she has
been pleased to visit.
The Irish have verified themselves.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-04-06

There was some conjecture as to the
reception Of the Queen. and those who
apprehended that Irish animostiy to-
wards the British rule would show IT.
self, have no cause. The Irish soldiers
in the Transvaal demonstrated the
valor of the green isle; and the en-
thusiasm of yesterday proves the feal-
ty Of the Irish character. 1t is pity
that the Queen has not seen fit to Wis
II Ireland often. Nothing inspires 10y
atty more than show of interest and
confidence, and nothing shows interest
more than personal contact. When
two sections become acquainted Sec
tionalism vanishes. 1t Is so in the
United States. The war OF the Rebel
lion is forgotten in the proportion that
the people of the two sections mingle.
Wrere the sovereign to be a frequent
visitor to Ireland. it is possible that
the bitterness that has been too appar-
ent in the past might be tempered, as
is illustrated In the warmer friendship
developed between the North and
South in the United States of late
Pittsburg Times.
