Enwrapped was she in modest hue

And yet her form showed plainly through.
A form to tempt the SCULPTOR art.

Her face beside was wondrous fair
And showed no signs of guilt or care.
but sweet conteutment rested there
A face so lovely pure and sweet,

we're 10 tread yOn golden street.
She lay Hpon those waters deem
As If enwrapped in peaceful sleep.
While round her did the soft waves sweep
And with each gently passing swell,
now PRETTY she rose and fell,
This sweet, this lovely water-beIle.
A mermaid with her tresses free.
And sporting in fairy sea.
SWeeter picture could not be-
Each bG n, coming wave, as it drew nigh,
Beheld her with pleased eve.
And kissed her as it passed by.

That did really envy you.

SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review
Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and compre-
hensive statement of the business of Savan-
nah, will be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. l, 1889, will be
memorable one il the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The MORNING News in its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities In the union,
and that her citizens, judging from what
they have done during the last year, are
fully alive to the great of her future.
They have proven by the various local inn
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
they are not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the world Savannah of
to-day" IN a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns The review
will be l. such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the bu mess of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter 1t will
prove by figures that Savannah il
without rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizen.
show that they are satisfied that she il
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in tn,
usual form, and will be a newspaper which
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends
1t will afford business mea an opportun
ity of saying something about their business
and themselves Ii is hoped that in size, a
we'll as in other respects, it will sur as
every previous edition. That however
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.
1t is desired 10 distribute $4,000 copies
and that number will be distributed, if tn,
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe il
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies o.
the paper can be handed in at the bushes
Office, or. if desired, they will be called fol
by the cauvasSers.

The Trouble in Crete-

In our dispatches yesterday Lord Sails
bury was reported as saying that he did not
consider that there was any need to fear
that the trouble in Crete would lead to
European disturbances. There does not
seem to be any reason why it should
Turkey has sent a commission to Crete to
settle the trouble, and there is no good
reason why it should not succeed in its
mission.
The people of Crete have nothing TO com
plain Of, They are permitted by the Turk
ish government to do pretty much as they
please. They make their own laws and
execute them, and fill about all the Offices
Turkey appoints a governor, who is not
much more than figurehead
The present trouble grew out of a strug-
gle for the offices. There are two parties
the conservatives and the liberals. The con-
servative5, prior TO the last election, were
in powe and had possession of the offices.
At the last election the liberals, owing to
their position on some rather important
questions won a sweeping victory. The
governor, recognizing that they were in the
majority, began appointing them to the
offices. This course angered the conserva-
tives, and they began throwing all sorts of
objections in the way Of official changes
They made protests to the governor, and
when they failed to inhu snce his course,
they appealed t. the sultan to remove him.
This action producing 10 result they began
to demand annexation to Greece The fact
that in Greece there was no desire for an
nexation did not influence themln the least.
| They insisted on annexation whether
Greece favored it or not.
The people became divided into bit
ter factions, which took every opportunity
| to annoy each other. The conservatives
| killed the cattle of the liberals and the lat
! ter retaliated. Personal encounters were
of frequent occurrence. Families became
arrayed against each other. Co lservatives
would rot do bust ess with the liberals, or
sit in church with them, and the liberal,
were equally as vindctive as the conserva-
tiveS. Schools were broken up and bust
ness was brought to a stand still This i,
the condition of affairs in Crete to-day. II
is plain that the Cretans are not capable of
self-government. The offices appear to be
of more value to them than good govern
ment If Turkey should treat them with
severity they would not be entitled to much
| sympathy.

The struggle between the high church and
low church parties on a point of fundamental
Importance has come to a rest for the time. For
a long period it has been the desire of the Rim
lists to obtain the creation Of a court for tine
determination of religious questions. which
should be more in accord with their IDEAS than
tie one in existence now. At present disnutes
arising from the church 90 to the courts Of

bate In the recent convention, make the doc
trine OF the church, and a more Destructive
thing could not occur" A few months 400
however, the Dean of Windsor asked the hiyb
church party to defiue It's plan for anotber
final court. a plan was devised which
received tine approval Of the lower house
1t proposed two final courts, of equal mum bers
one OF bishops and Ole OF judges. If both courts
agreed on a dlsputetaquestion, their decisiO n
governed. II they failed to agree the decision
OF the court below, necessarily a church court
would stand. That would in effect have taken
81 control OF doctrine away from the stat
But when this schenrR was submitted recently
the house was equally divided on it, standing
X to IL. In tue opinion of one member t
passes the wit of man TO devise a court of an
peal which would satisfy all the conflicting in
tereStS. A somewhat startling statement was
made during the debate by Canon Gregory. He
saId that three applicants for parishes had ap-
peared before the bishop of London who could
not accept the doctrine 0 the resurrection
Gould this proposed court of Judges and
bishops be trusted TO define the doctrine of the
resurrection No" So finally the Dean OF
Nindsor's semi challenge was unanswered. and

as it was. llv .d1bm
