KDITORIAL COMMENTS.I
KDITORIAL COMMENTS. How long the "open door" policy is to continue at Loureneo Marques is a ques- tion which it is impossible to answer, but one might think that the Government should have something to say in regard to it. Recruits keep pouring into the Trans- vaal through that door. Over two hundred landed there last week, and last month no fewer than the hundred found their way to Pretoria without let or hindrance. More- over. provisions are landed there, and these arc sent on to the same destination. Mr. Kruger and the Boers are very fortu- nate in having such a convenient gateway. If it were dosed it would be very desirable from Great Britain's point of view.

Mi". Kruger s delegate- are near-I ing their destination, and Dr. LeJd-, who I is now in Paris, will Ro to Naples to me"t them to-morrow. It is probable that Great Bri?in has h!?n left out of their pvcgrammo, their object being to vi.?t the European capitals, ot- the more important of them, imploring the Govern- THPnt" to bring pressure to bear upon this country to submit the Transvaal ques- tion to arbitration. It is a wild-goose chase, and nothing but disappointment will come, of the mis-ion. fiord has made it absolutely clear that this country trill brook no meddling on the part of any Power, friend or top. Presi, Kruger ough" to be convinced of th's :itieh by this time.

Yesterday, from a weather point of view, was an idea! Paim Sunday, and drew the whole population out of doors, many making short excursions into the country, "orne in others on bicycle*, and more on foot. Tim time- honoured tu^om of placing flowers on the graves, so prevalent in Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire and in parts of Here- fordshire and Gloucestershire, was duly observed. A beautiful custom it is, and it i a pity that ''Flowering Sunday" is not ob.,erved throughout the kingdoni. Xo act of ritual teaches immortality and that distinctly Christian dcgma, the communion of saints, more forcibly than that of adorning the graves of departed friends. It may have had its origin in pagan times, but everything pagan is not necessarily wrong. A correspondent writes to say that he visited Llandatf Cathedral yesterday, and stood by the grave of the late Dean Vaughan. He states that the dean's resting-place was about the only recent grave that was not recog- nised in some way, though very humbly in many cases.

Her Majesty has now spent about a week in the Irish capital, and has thoroughly enjoyed herself. She enters deeper and deeper into the affections of the Irish people. The sight on Saturday was one never to be forgotten. It was the children's day. and some fifty thousand of them came together from all parts of Ire- land. X eedless to say, the proceedings were of the most uproarious character, every young Irish mouth shouting as loud and as deafening as the ''Western Mail" syren. The Queen was delighted with the whole affair, and did everything she could to contribute to the day's enjoy- ment. In years to come Saturdy's event will bear fruit, and cannot fail to do much by way of increasing Irish loyalty and the attachment of the people to the Sovereign. This visit will, doubtless, make the Irish people see that the Queen I is as much the Queen of Ireland as of England, and that she is not a nebulous entity dwelling on Epicurean heights, in- visible and unapproachable, taking no interest in mundane affairs.
REPRESENTATION OF CARDIFF.I
REPRESENTATION OF CARDIFF. I With the appearance of the letter of Mr. Joseph Lawrence the question of the representation of Car- diff has been brought before both II wings of CHdiff Unionism in a more ddinite form than was possible a week ago. For reasons which are known, and need not again be specified, the discussion of the mutter in these columns involves a, certain delicacy which will be appreciated by our readers. But we do not think that on that account the matter should be burked. Indeed, it is impossible to deny its urgency, and it might well be considered that the "Western Mail" failed in its duty to the Unionist party if it did not aid in solving a question which has already given some trouble and may give more. Peculiar difficulties are involved in the selection of a Unionist candidate for the next election. On Saturday wc referred to the necessity of tact and wisdom in dealing with this suoject. We need go no further than the experience of the Cardiff Radicals to see how the absence of these qualities must add immensely to the difficulties of a task which cannot be regarded as easy in the most favourable circumstances. For some three or four years our political opponents have been "approaching" one man and another with such futility of effort that the procedure has been nothing more or less than progression in indignity, and it is not easy to see wherein lies the honour of an invitation hawked about from pillar to post only to be spurned at every turn. This is what the local Unionists have every reason --not the least is that of pressure of time- for trying to avoid. Hitherto their main difficulty lay in the fact that the way was barred to a possible candidate, for the failure of the association to secure from the present member an assurance that he would not take the field at the general election meant also the failure to leave the way clear for any eminent politician to accept the rele of candidate. It is one of the proprieties of politics that no man is free to seek a seat which the existing possessor has shown no desire to relinquish. One result of this is that if a general election occurred now or in a few months' time the Unionists of Cardiff would be in the unenviable clileinma of having no candidate to place before the electors. The courageous action of Mr. Joseph Lawrence has saved the party from this disaster. Whatever may be the ulti- mate result of the deliberations and nego- tiations of the management committee, they can now, at any rate. feel that they are not in such a state of utter n a- preparedness to meet a general election as they were a week ago. There has born a desire to secure a man of known political eminence. With this desire we are in cordial sympathy. The member for Cardiff, whoever he might be. has long been a man who occupies a position of distinction in Parliament. Both Sir Edward Reed and Mr. Maclean have been worthy representatives of the town, and it would be matter for sincere regret if the spokesmnnship of the borough sus- tained such a drop as would be the case, for instance, if the work devolved on Mr. Robert Bird-11 estimable gentleman in every way, of course, but not one calcu- lated to arrest the attention of the Mother of Parliaments. If the Cardiff Unionists can secure the services of a man of high and assured tanding in polities, a man of Cabinet rank for choice, they ought to make an effort to attain tins end, and in making it they would have our thorough sympathy and support. If they fail in securing the best possible in all respects they will look for a candi- date who. lacking political eminence alone. will combine those other qualities which are essential in a man who seeks to repre- sent an important and progressive com- mercial centre like Cardiff, and. above all. one who would be sound in patriotism and unshaken in party loyalty. Whether Mr. Lawrence is a suitable man to cham- pion the cause of the party is. of course, a matter for the party itself to decide. So far. Mr. Lawrence has only sought to release the Cardiff Management com- mittee from an impossible position. He -iV> says that tho Uliioiii.-ts o; Cardiff shall uot b? overtaken bv a general elec- tion without having a standard-bearer. He has not said. as "),Pe seem to think who did not read ))is )(.tt?r. that he intends to contest the seat at the next election. What Mr. Lawrence has done is to announce that his services are gt the disposal of the Unionist party in a consti- tuency which is now in danger of having to face an election without a candidate of; its choice. He is patriotically nrepared to overlook time-worn proprieties in order to extricate the party from an undoubted difficulty, and to this extent he has laid the Unionists under a deep obligation. But he merely says that he is prepared to take this step. He will consult the Unionists of Cardiff through their leaders md elected bodies, and take their ver- dict as to whether the.v desire him to do so or not. If the politician of distinc- tion who is now the desire of the manage- ment committee can be found willing to come forward to fight all comer. Mr. Lawrence will, of course, withdraw, and I nioinst electors will unitedly rally round the choice of the two wings of the party. The main thing is to get to work at onoe. for now the Radicals have agreed on their candidate we may expect to see Nfr. Robert Bird setting to work forth- with. It is of the greatest importance that the matter should be settled with- out loss of time. Not only will it be a grave error to allow the Radicals to steal march, but it is certainly possible that a general elec- tion may be upon us at any moment. We know the Government has declared there will be no dissolution till the South African problem has been settled. A moment's reflection will show how this good intention may be upset. If the war collapses the settlement will not long be deferred. If the war drags along for months, as it now shows every indication of doing, the natural life of the Ministry may end before the settlement can be reached. In the face of such a possibility --and its indications one way or another will soon be appRrent-the Government may be trusted to dissolve at the moment most suitable for the ends in view. These possibilities make the election very near, or. at most. a year off. The duty of the Unionist party in Cardiff is to provide for e:thpr contingency, and even if the elec- tion does not occur till next year the pro- vision for it will be the more efficient and; the more satisfactory the sooner it is made.

QUEEN IN IRELAND. HER MAJESTY AND THE CHILDREN. REMARKABLE SPECTACLE IN PH(ENIX PAHK. DUBLIN, Saturday. The interest in the Queen's visit is as intcnse in Ireland to-day as it was upon the occasion of her Majesty's putting foot on Irish eoil at the beginning of the week. The enthusiasm ex. hibited at the outset is not only fully main. tained, but appears to grow in strength and volume. Everywhere one heors nothing but ex- pressions of loyalty. The 8eizure by the local police of the "United Irishman" has passed unnoticed by the public. The public of Dublin regard the whole incident with in. difference, as being Bometliirg too small and contemptible to engage even their momen- tary commentary attention. Tho Queen's pro- gramme for to-day is one which would tax the energies of a lady with half her Majesty 's yeara, but the venerable Sovereign doeB not seem to knovi what fatigue means. For instance, shortly after breakfast she was out in the grounds 111 her donkey phaeton almost un- attended, excepting that tho watchful Ir. Mel- ville, of Scotland Yard, could be Been keeping observation at a very respectful distance. Re- turning to the Viceregal Lodge, her Majesty retted only A very short time, and then, enter- ing a carriage drawn by four horses, sh-e was off to th« main road of Phmnix Park for the purpow of :?ring the joys of her juvenile Irish frubitets, for this is Children's Day." Luncheon will follow, and then again in the afternoon the Queen is to be once more out and about, for about four o'clock she proposes to take a drive of about an hour and a half's duration in the country. As one of the Royal equerries remarked on Saturday morning. "She is truly a wonderful woman. No doubt, he spoke feelingly, having before him the prospect of some time in the saddle. At the time of writing the children's demon- stration promised to be a great meee's. It is really a remarkable display. The little e:e are puaamd':¡¿t tll¡I/i:t I Ireland, the railway companies having offered t,he local committees reeponrtble for the arrangement* p,,I,l facilities t,r, As anit may be stated that tbe sum of two ?hilling?,i, the fare for a journey from p?'If?tt- Dublin and b,k.f over OO miles. At each railway station on Satur- day there was a P'li?e-o,!rg".t and ten -?- stables charged with the duty of ?wrting the children through the city to the park. As the children arrived at the termini-somc of them so small that they could hardly toddle -each was presented with a bag containing cake and chocolate, for which they had to thank the Dublin committee, who have also arranged to provide tea later on. The luncheon bn" arrangements were in charge of a committee of ladies, whilst a body of local gentlemen undertook to control the work of marshalling the juvenile mass. The Bpeoial correspondent of the Press Asso- ciation. telegraphing later, says;—The scene in Phoenix Park has been quite as remarkable in its way as that, of Wednesday, oil the Queen's entry into the city. It was veritable Queen's weather, and the Mile-avenue, on which the children were assembled, was one unbroken line of national flags. The general public came into the park on vehicles of all descriptions, and crowded into the open spaces behind the serried inasaes of the juve- niles. Not only was Dublin represented by the school* participating in the welcome to the Sovereign, but distant Cork. Derry, l,im? ?i?,k, and W.?rf.rd,tGalway'and other large centres. While waiting the approach of tbo Royal procession expression was given to the National Anthem and to "God Bless the Prince of Wales," both by voice. and by fife bands. Many richly-coloured banners were borne in the different enclosures. About the centre of the line there was a raised dais covered with crimson cloth. Here were gathered the Lord and Lady Mayoress, Lady Antrim. the Earl of Denbigh. and members of the reception committee. Writhin the enclosure rested ma" iiieeiit bouquet of lilies of the valley and violets in a basket outlined with shamrocks. A sudden and great burst of cheer- ing from the direction of the Viceregal Lcds?* notified to the assembled 30.000 children that the Queen had started on her progress. On the Royal carriage reaching the dais, the Earl of Denbigh presented the Lady Mayoress, Lady Arnott. Miss Mary and Miss Victoria Arnott, aud Master Walter Pie, a son of the 1.0rd Mayor. The three children presented the bouquet, which had a card attached, containing the inscription. "To onr beloved Queen, from the children of Ire. land. Queen's Day. April 7, 1900." Her Majesty, having accepted the offering, the pro- 0eBion was put once more in motion, and. amidst tumultuous cheers, which never for an instance flagged or abated in intensity, the Queen drove as far as the Cough Statue, which formed the extreme end of the line. Her Majesty then graciously directed that the procession should tnrn and re-traverse the entire route. If it he possible to contrast the measure of youthful enthusiasm, it is just pos- sible that, on her re-appearance the Queen's greeting was even f110re vehement than at first. It was electrifying—nay, even inspiring, That it made a deep and ineradicable impres- sion upon the Qu"n must have been obvious to the least observant. The ovation lasted until the aged Monarch had again passed within the gates of the Viceregal Lodge. DUBLIN. Sunday. Tne Queen attended Divine service this morning in the private chapel of the Viceregal Lodge, accompanied by the Duke and Duche-s of Connnught and family.

LONDON LETTER.
LONDON LETTER. PARLIAMENT WEARY FOR A HOLIDAY. ADMIRAL DEWEY AND THE PRESIDENCY. C0, BOUVKRIE-STEEET, E.C., SUNDAY NIGHT. The House will rise to-morrow for the Easter holidays, and members will not return until the 26th. Many members left town yesterday, and as tha business on the order-paper to-morrow is not of a very attractive character, it is not expected that there ivili be a large attendance. The questions for Ministerial attention are thirty-seven h number, but with the exception of those which stand in the names of Mr. Tudor Howell and r. Samuel Smith. the texts of which I have already forwarded, they are of comparatively little impor- tance. The chief order of the day is the second reading cf the Agricultural Hold- ings Bill. In all probability, it will be carried at an early hour of the evening, and Mr. Gray, who has it in charge, will move for it to be committed to the Stand- ing Committee on Trade. SCOTCH JIKMHKK.S I Several of the Scotch members object to the Bill on the ground that its provisions extend to Scotland. They regard it as highly on satisfactory to legislate on the subject for England and for Scotland in one and the same measure. To guard against the possibility of the debate not being finished at midnight. Mr. Balfour wil! at the commencement of public busi- ness move the suspension of the twelve o'clock rule. FRENCH corps. Oeneral Gallifet, whose re-assuring speech on the Colonial Army Bill gave satisfac- tion to the poop)" of France, has been allaying the anxiety of those who were afraid that a coup d'(>i.t was either possible or probable. The War Minister, who knows something about coups d'etat, i announced to the French Chamber that a coup d'etat was impossible at the present da". A coup d'etat to be successful must be made in Paris, and with the consent of the Minister of War and the Military Governor of Paris. That consent was not likely to be obtained. He knew very well that if he triod it General Bruyere would arrest him, and he would certainly do the same to General Bruyere if he saw him make the attempt. He admitted that htteen years ago a coup might have been attempted, but the attempt would have been foredoomed to failure. AN ALlMIliAL IN l'OLnTC, The decision of Admiral Dewey to enter the lists for the Presidential chair is gene- rally regretted. The admiral has no quali- fications for the post, and the hero-worship of which he was a victim some time ago has almost died out. It 10 said here that his action has been dictated by social considerations but this is hard to believe. Surely, the hero of Manila c:ui have all the social success that he or anyone else need covet. If-he is nominated he wiil stand as a Sound Money Democrat, on which ticket hi" advisers hope t-o be IIhle 0 obtain the secession of many of Mr. )l'Ki¡¡Je;s sup- porter. and so render the present Presi- dent's return dnnhtful. It is generally admitted that his action would alienate more votes from Mr. M'Kinlcv than from Mr. Bryan. The situation is full of interest. A CKKAT (SAZAAH. Viscountess Maitland. who is organising;: the great national bazaar in aid of tlu- smrerers by the war. writes me that the event will be the largest ever held in the Metropolis. Substantial assistance is being freely offered, and it is confidently anticipated that a largo sum will be obtained. One of the very last sub- scriptions to hand comes from Mr. Mum- ford, director of Kensington College of Commercial Education, who has given five scholarships at twenty guineas each, to sold in aid of the funds. Each scholarship entitles a son or daughter ot a Navy or Army officer to one year's in- struction in the secretarial training course, and the college undertakes to provide a dignified and remunerative appointment for each as soon as qualified. Other gifts of a practical character have aho been received. A MOTOR srrom. The Motor-car Exhibition, which will open at the Agricultural-hall, Islington, on Saturday next. will, it is said. prove a surprise to those visitors who have not kept close observation cit the recent progress of the automobile industry. There will be several hundred motor vehicles on view, and yet no sense of inonotonv is likely to impress the public, seeing that there wiU be scores of different designs, twhile the vehicles will range in size ¡rom tit? 2l-h.p. air-motor to the 24-h.p. ('ar with power enough to attain a speed ot more than forty miles an hour. In addition to exhibits made by every Brrish firm in this new and growing industry, there will be a comprehensive collection of foreign vehicles—a sectio'i )f great in- terest in view of Continent a 1 nrooress and the improvements which have lately been made in the British vehicles. Several distinctly novel types of cars will. I am told, be s hown, including SOIllP I which have never before left; th work- shops. having been reserved to make their first public appearance at this exhibition. The exhibition is under th," control of the Automobile Club of Great Briia;n. ai d during the latter part of the exhibition week all the vehicles taking part in the forthcoming 1.000 wile* trial will be paraded at the Agricultural-hall. HTLLIAHP CHAMPIONSHIP. The fight for the billiard cbampion<-hin will take plllc<, to-morrow week between Charles Dawson and H. W. Stevenson. The title is at present held by Daw-on. who defeated John North for possession in January of last year. Since that day Dawson has held it. and also enjoved un- disturbed possesion of the .tWO a year which the Billiard Association grants to the holder. Xow. Stevenson, having defeated Diggle. the other chalk nger for the honour-and the one. bv the way, from whom most danger was expected— will endeavour to take it upon himself. Stevenson in his fight with Diggle made a remarkable break of (iiw. which under the revised rules ranks second onlv :n extent to the record run of i2 eompil!'d by Dawson. He made another birr break of 374, and many other admirable three- figur" contributions.

The real champion of the game is. of course. 1 I?ob.Tts, but he stiil refuses to recognise the association and compete for the title.
