donment of her cherished spring holiday in the
South of Europe. followed by the announce
ment of her intention 10 visit Ireland. has
further endeared her. It is felt she has done
the right thing at the right moment in the
right way.
Another action, slight in itself. obvious
in its wise thoughtfulness that every one
ders it not done before. is the proclama-
ton of the royal wish that on St. Patricks
Day all ranks in the Irish regiments shall wear
a sprig Of shamrock in their headdress. This
wearing of the green, or. rather, its prohibition,
has long been a cheap and useful instrument
for politicians of the stamp of Mr.. Patrick
OBrien. Every year as St. Patricks Day comes
round he has been accustomed to rise to his fun
height in the House of Commons and blatantly
bring under the notice Of members some case
where an Irish soldier, in defiance of authority,
has worn the sprig of shamrock on parade and
been called to account by Jealous officer.
Now the shamrock is TO be in conjunction
with England's cruel red" not as a concession
to the clamor OF politicians Of the Patrick
O'Brien order, but by the Queens personal di
recton. as q distinction to commemorate the
galIantry of her Irish soldiers during the recent
battles in South Africa.

Ish territory IN South Africa from the grip Of
the BOer invader, who is already invaded in
turn. But II would be a grave mistake to count
the war, or even the worst of il, as practically
over. That is certainly not the view Of the sit
uation taken in high quarters here. In private
conversation Lord WoIseley does not disguise his
conviction that before Pretoria is entered there
will be fighting that viii put into the shade even
Modder River and COlenso. Indications of con-
v,ction that there is still a tough job before Lord
Roberts is found in the steady pressing forward
Of reiaforcements, and more strikingly by the
resolve to deport CrOnje and his army to st.
Helena. If it We're expected that the rest of the
war would be a walkover that troublesome and
costly arrangement would not be entered upon.
Moreover the Government is evidently uneasy
at the prospect of having the abest Of the Boer

Is not clear. Even if he were a born Ameri-
can, it is not usual TO class our cousins as for
eigners. AS a matter Of fact. Mr.. Smith was
born in Scotland. whence he emigrated TO the
United States, and formed in Chicago the basis
Of his colossal wealth. For many years he
was a familiar figure at the Reform Club.
