No matter what may be said for or

IN the history of Ireland there is not The

trade and industry. Since her return sne
has stated that she is delighted 10 find
that her efforts were not thrown away, and
that the movement which she assisted has
been growing since and taking a wider
scope The countess expresses her graft
hcation that the Industrial revival is much
more than fashionable affair today: than

In Favor of New Building.
In connection with the return OF Lord
Aberdeen 1t is stated that the newly ap-
pointed lord lieutenant is in favor of a new
building for the Dublin post office savings
bank department. In this connection one
lrishman says:
There are many objects on the historic
College Green worth a viceregal study. The
Old House degraded into "a money shop
always remains the conspicuous reminder
of the time when the lords and commons
of ireland ruled in College Green Trinity
College, partly relieved from the hdeous
barrack wall which formerly surrounded
all its grounds, stands also conspicuous
a reminder that the education question. as
well the home rule question, remains
solved. The more modern buildings, the
National, the Ulster, the Hibernian and
the Belfast banks, with the creation OF
Foley's genius, combine to make College
Green one of the most imposing centers
that any city can boast Of There is one
Office Savings Bank building. Marked by
neglect and dirt 1t Is all the more remark
able as it is separated only by narrow
way-Chureh lane-from the stately Hi
bernau Bank, one of the most effective
structures in Ireland. The building IS little
more than a ruin. The windows, which
were originally of cut stone. have been
replaced by rough and in parts implanted
boards, the insertion of which appears 10
have been the work of amateur
village carpenter, and in parts in
stead of blinds are old newspapers pasted
up as window screens The glass so far
as it remains, is begrimed and filthy; the
business announcements are mostly made
in chalk. The stately entrance hall Is
bicycle stable; the interior, which is visible
through the permanently open door, Is
marked by dirt and disorder. The base
ment is a burrow from and into which
boys necessarily pass and repass Ike rats.
and the place beneath is as noisome and
insanitary as il infested exclusively by this
vermin. Here are the headquarters of his
majesty's postmaster general-the contrbu-
ton to College Green OF a great governments
department which gathers up over S50.0oo,-
900 of Irish money at nominal interest,
transfers IL TO London and there lends It
back to the Irish people at an increased
rate
