The King of England returning from
his Irish trip, issued a public letter
thanking the newspaper men who accom-
panied the royal party on their tour; he
expressed appreciation of their accuracy,
courtesy and enterprise, and no doubt in
his heart understood that their reports
were of the highest value to his purposes.
The cars government, a few weeks
ago. banished the correspondent of one
of the worlds most influential journals

have been in nothing but in telegraph
