It was adiindly thought which prompted
 the corpbration of Belfast to elect Ambas- sador gNhitelaw Reid a freeman of that most thriving of the Irish cities. MT.
 Reid has evidenced keen and helpful in- terest in the exchange of trade between Ireland and the United States. Belfast, the center of the linen, ship building and rope making industries in Ireland and Great Britain is materially concerned in stable and equitable trade relations with the powerful nation which Whitelaw Reid represents. The honor has been con- ferred upon very few men and it is no empty title, either The Ambassador now becomes eligible to vote for any alderman or councillor of Belfast or to wear the chain and cooked hat of Lord Mayor, To accept these privileges requires no remuneration of his American citizenship. He remains the best sort of an American, just the same, while he is immune iron. many of the yokes of Irish citizenship which have survived from feudal times, such as the duty of supplying a stated assortment of hens eggs and firewooa to the baronial manor of Belfast the
 house on Cave Hill which belongs to
 the Chichester family Although these rights have not been asserted for over century, they are still included in the charters, offering an excellent opportunity to relieve the distress of Irish peers who have held on to their titles though shorr of demesne lands by periods of extrava- ganee and succeeding landsacts. The Reid family has many wealthy and influential representatives in the counties of Down and Antrim which share jointly the growth and prestige of the city of Bel fast. Many Reids have filled the highest offices in the gift of the Belfast burgesses and the name has always been associated with progress and prosperity.
