Governor Tyler's message to the Gener-
al Assembly of Virginia, which will meet
on Wednesday next, has been exhaustive
ly forecasted by the newspaper cor
respondents, but 1t Is possible that some
OF the tips" they have relied upon are
not trustworthy. However that may be.
in the message. and. though it is said
that II Will be very long, we doubt not
that II will have many readers. What
with the Presidents message, which will
be presented on Monday or Tuesday. and
the Governors, which will be ready on
Wednesday, newspaper readers ought 10

the Emperor went also and koutoued in

first time since the end Of September

an Emperor Of Chins-namely, praying
10 Heaven on behalf OF the people. In the

Doyager Empress has been testing the

higher officials throughout the country,
ana has come 10 the conclusion that any
ostempt at the disposition Of the En-

Referring TO the fact that the big ad-
vance in the price Of paper has caused
some of the Republican newspapers to
denounce vigorously the paper trust, the
Norfolk Landmark says the vehemence
of its contemporaries is natural, but
misdirected Then the Landmark adds:
''rhe rise i'm the price OF paper is one of
the best possible examples OF the influ-
ence Of the Dingley tariff I'm fostering
monopoly. Paper would go down to q
reasonable point at once If the prohibi-
tive duty on Canadian woOd-pulp were
abolished. 1t is the tariff that is respon-
sible for the antics OF the paper market
IT is the tarif. in the last analysis. that
Is AT the bottom of the trust evil and
yet tho tariff, as a national issue, appears
TO be forgotten. Nothing could please
monopoly better than an attack on trusts
which overlooks the question of import
duties"
Right you are. AS one OF the Have
meyers has said: The tariff is the mother
Of tho trusts.

Love Under Eastern skies,
The Puritan)


Beside the ripping OF the stream,
Where lilies I'm the shadows CLEAN,
Cream white, with hearts Of gold,
She waits my coming in the gloom
Where. laden with a strange perfume,
The jossamines unfold.
But fairer. purer. sweeter. she
Than any tender flower could be,
My Mut-le-fa, my love;
The little lamps that dot the skies
Are dull and dim beside the eyes
OF Mut-le-fa, my love.
4 breeze across the river sweeps
TO greet me, where my shallop creeps
on to her fragrant bower;
And in IT'S arms IL bears scent
That but a moment since was pent
Within a starry flower.
But sweeter far. but far more dear,
is that low singing that / hear
From Mut-le-fa. my love;
So swift across the stream | win
To find my flower. my jessamine,
My Mut-le-fa, my love.

THE CIVIL WAR.

In n careless moment the New orleans
states casually alludes to the anair Oh
lseI-"e5 as "the civil war" We should as
soon have expected such slip from the
Atlanta Journal or Richmond Dispatch
or even the staunch old Wilmington Mes
senger.-The Charleston News ana
Courier.
The war between the States. as Presi-
dent Davis and Aleck stephens Dotn
termed IT, Is better.
We never use "the civil war" without
putting IT within quotation marks. but
the frequent necessity OF Distinguishing
between the struggle for southern inde-
pendence and the invasion Of Cuba ana
the Philippines has caused newspaper
writer's to seek the shortest name posi-
bic. This. unhappily. they have found
in the term in question. And we much
fear that It has come to stay. though we
don't propose to give It any welcome In
these columns. II sounds little less
harsh than the "War OF the Rebellion
but il means about the same thing.
