Thirty,One years have elapsed
since tho publication oftlio Civilian
was begun under the present editor
"A long time, no doubt in the
thoughts of our younger readers
but TO us, even rs We look back upon
Il, with It's great monuments and
wrecks, betokehing changes that
aro usually the work of centuries,
II seems very bricf-as but the move
mont Of some great panorama, with
Its lights and shades, We have rot
yot attained the stand point of rest
and rctrospection, We have no time
10 look back or drop tear TO the
memory of tho many who started
with us in the career of life in Gal
weston, but who grew tired by the
way and turned their course to other
lands, or whose names may be rcnd
Oh white stones in the silent subur-
ban city in tho Fourth Ward.
As We proclaim Mt the outset, the
Civilian has ever been the advocate
of law and order; the friend of the
arts of peace; of honest industry
Of tolerance, moderation, education,
and morality; tho enemy of vice and
crime, but not the harsh judge or
malignant prosecutor of the crringi
or the foe of those who differ with
us in matters of opinion. We have
doubtless differed with all our pat
rons on some subject or other; and
with some of them nearly always on
political questions; yet We believe
that they have been quito as tolcr-
ant as ourselves; and wo yet num-
Der many among them who have
stood by us from tho beginning.
Influenced more by our observation,
reading and reflection than by pro.
conceived partialitics or prejudices,
wo have seldom found ourselves so
far wrong as to deem it necessary
to change our opinions in regard to
questions of general concern; and
know of nothing that We would will
ingly rctract in matters of opinion.
If, in our little spnrring with cotem-
porarics, we have ever indulged in
any remark that may have left
sting, we regret, and would gladly
recall it. Being but little affected
by such squibs ourselves, We may
have been less thoughtful Of the sen
silivcncss of others than We should
have been.
But we have no more time for
cgotism, retrospect or anticipation.
We nrc like the old man once writ
ten of by a boy of our acquaintance
for n mock newspaper: "Dcitz is
making crooks, and expects to keep
on making" Not only SO; but, by
calling in tho assistance of other
skillfull workmen, We hope to i'm
prove the amount and quality of
our wares. We have already great
ly enlarged our Weekly. With the
opening of the fall business we shall
add to our Daily and Tri-Weokly,
not in Dimensions only; but by tho
opening up of new arrangements
for news, and adding new depart
ments to our editorial columns, in
cluding commercial department
similar to that we sustained before
tho war.-TGalvcston Civilian.

AIDS Washington correspondent
gives an amusing account ofthe exit
of the oflice-scckcrs when President
Grant announced that he wanted
private interview with Gen. Lee:
They picked up their hats and
beat q hasty and somewhat dcmoral-
lied retreat toward the door, utter
ing curses not loud but deep at the
intrusion of the big rebel guest
when they wero fixing up their
little business.
"The President, said onoSenator,
"secs us in q crowd, and thereby
exposes our private business; but
when rebol comes along he is given
a private audience"
"Yes," said another, "and we are
driven out as if we had no business
hero, when We are looking after the
interests of the country"
"That's the way" said q member
of the House, resigncdly.
"Being a rebel is a good card OF
admission here, it appears, Observ-
ed an indignant citizen who had
been waiting patiently for some
time TO see the President.

WHY THERE WILL BE NO WAX

Relations scouts the idea that there
will be any war between England

lowing reasons for his fiitk:
First, it would necessarily be 4
naval war, for the invasion and coH-
quest of Canada would be bhly thS
work of u week. Being a naval ~af,.
the destruction of the commerce and
shipping of both countries would bo
almost the only result. England

vessels that we have, all hor pms:

Second, a W; + with England
would cost the United States at lea,5
$1,000, 600, 900, which would events
ally end In rcpudiation. Meanwliilo,
the incidental loss and suffering to
both countries would be incaleulablc,
Third, the United States GahR5t
