Red Tape OfficiaIdom.

TN all ages there have been exam
pies of heroes and great men who,
wishing to be faithful in small things,
have blundered in matters Of the
greatest Importance" This sentence
is taken from one of the five articles
of naval faith read every Sunday to
Japanese men-o'-war crews. 1t sums
up in very few words the besetting
sin of red tape oficialdom, that blind
devotion to traditional rules and regu-
lations which when confronted with
a great emergency, such as the out
break of disease before Sevastopol,
breaks down hopelessly, and. in the
words of the Japanese document,
brings calamity, death and lasting
dishonor" upon itself-London Even

that q TIrHes-Iteraid poem is much to be pre-

And this isnot saying anything especially com
plinentary Of the poetry-Petersburg Index

We protest against being associated with such
a punning novice as The Nirginian, The paper
Is not yet eighteen months old and can only
pun by lispfng. As TO the preference of the In
de&-Appeal for Copelandesque poetry, We can
only marvel at Editor lfarris' depraved taste.

the poetry habit himself, however, and II is prob
ably this fellow feeling that makes him SO WON

youth is sadly against us. There be some who
fail to appreciate a joke until 1t Is old enough

the poetic output of the bard of Hampton Roads
to the gems which drop in such prafusion from
