WHAT THE "WORLD" SAYS.
[From tho London World. I

There never time when IL was more neces-
sary 10 DO on our guard against the introduction of
fulsom inflated language reference TO the Sow
ereign and the Royal Family. Il was therefore,
with very little satisfaction that read In the Times
account Of the naval review, message sent TO the
feet In the Queens name, beginning, "Her gra-
clous Majesty" SUBJECTS addressing the Sovereign
may use this expression and It is tho form adopted
by the Houses OF Parliament; but a Minister ID
charged to mako u comm unicaton in tho royal name
should simply say "Her Majesty or, still better "1he
Queen" Tho criticism may appear unimportant;
but when once ball Ia set rolling in this
direction 1t may swell under the competing zeal OF
courty Ministers to prodigious size. Our Bibles tell
US how the style OF the Assyrian monsrchs had be-
come coated with pompous amp ifcations in the days
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
