Another St Patricks day has passed
into history, and it may safely be said
| that the capital has rarely produced a
more comprehensive celebration in hon
| Or of the memory Of Ireland's patron
| saint than that which was in evidence
on every hand yesterday, Beginning
in the morning with an appropriate
union service in st. Patricks Church,
in which most of the Catholic clergy
in the city and from surrounding towns
In Maryland participated, the OBJ
servance of the day included series
of entertainments, dinners and dances
which extended we'll into the hours OF
| the night.
The city was well decorated in honor
Of st. Patrick, and the wearing of the
Green was almost universal. Many
Irishmen, who are separated from the
"Ould Sod" by not more than a genera
ton or two, wore sprigs of real sham
rock, but green cravats, green hat rib
bons and tiny silk limitations of sham
rock were the predominant note IN the
Big Party at Rauscher's.
| One of the principal events of the even
| ing was a dinner at Rauscher's, in which
about 100 prominent business men of the
community joined. Senator Thomas H.
Carter of Montana was the orator. Speak

This man lived some 1.4OO years ago,
and yet he is alive today just as dis

and held dear in mems hearts. There
never was missionary who made an in
vestment that paid better dividends
Senator Garter declared himself an

drop of Irish blood in his body.

MIR. pYRp,s STATEMENT.

The statement of Speaker Byrd
| printed this morning in The Times
I Dispatch, clears somewhat beclouded
situation. With HIS customary frank
ness. Mr.. Byrd states that the first
agreement between the Governor and
himself was reached hurredly and
without thought as to the bearing
which Mr.. Byrd's acceptance of the
honor would have upon the standing
of the party or upon Mr.. Byrd him
self. Since talking the matter over
with Governor Mann, Mr.. Byrd has
reached a better understanding. and
is 10 receive fees for such special SER
vices as he may be called upon 10 per-
form in defending state institutions.
This statement should be accepted at
Its face value by all who know Mr..
& Byrd, and it cannot be misunderstood
by any one Mr.. Byrd, under the terms
of his agreement, will not be a state
officer. chosen to an Office created by
I an Assembly of which he Will be a
member. He will simply he an able
Z Governor to look after the interests
of the state in cases which 60 not
properly come within the purview OF
the Attorney Generals Office. This may
mean something or nothing. accordins
to circumstance, and 1t Will certainly
not justify. any criticism of Mr.. Byrd
If there be no such cases to defend, tn
whole of the $4,000 appropriated b!
the Assembly for the purpose will re
vert to the Treasury; IL there be suci
cases, Mr. Byrd Will be paid for ser
vices rendered in each case. as would
any other lawyer. There can be II,
impropriety in this. any more thar
there would be in the Common
wealth paving any other member o.
the Assembly for his services in prose
cutting any case for the Commonwealth
We are sincerely glad that Mr. Byrd
has reached this understanding. ant
we believe it will win new friends fol
him. AS an able public servant, whose
labors for Virginia have been con
sistent and fruitful, he has long de
served the thanks of the party, and i,
this case, by his frank and open be
havior, he has relieved the party 0
any possible blame that might hav
