James W. Porch, Chairman of
the Joint Conference Committee of
the New- Orleans business exchanges
In explaining the objects of the con
vention says: "We realize that It re
quires a combined effort of the large
cities north of us to create that vol*
time of tonnage that will give ns as
perfect shipping facilities by water
as enjoyed by New York. Iu fact, a
careful analysis of the situation clear*
ly establishes the fact that we shou'd

wonderful tonnage that we will be j
able to control will speedily require
them. One of tho results of this

It will also be their duty to gather

sword. Bui we know that this was
not true. Cromwell’s own account at
the time, which was in all conscience
gruesome enough, explicitly said, as
regards that part of the garrison
wuich was in the ’two Towers’:
•When they submitted, their officers
were knocked on the head; and
every tenth man of the soldiers kill
ed; and the rest shipped for the Bar-
badoes.’ Indeed, Cromwell’s precise
statement is that those whom In the
heat of action he ordered put to the
sword were any that were in arms in
the Town; and there Is no mention
of civilians being killed, much less
women and children.”
It Is highly Interesting to know
that Cromw’ell, referring to the
bloody work at Drogheda, expressed |
the wish "that all honest hearts may
give tlie glory of this to God alone.”
Aud further: "And now’ give me
leave to say how it comes to pass
that this work is wrought. It was set
upon some of our hearts that a great
thing should be done not by power j
tion and distribution of thousands
of tons of useless documents and the
use of the congressional frank by
campaign committees will continue
to burden the mails and add to the
expense of the service.
“In a financial sense, the govern
ment’s management of the postal
service has always been a failure.
What the government’s experience
would be if the ownership and con
trol of railroads and telegraph and
telephone lines were confided to the
government is problematical. If the
management of the postal service
affords us any indication, it would be
a disastrous step for the government
to take, for there w’ould always he
demands for reductions of rates and
for free service that would Interfere
with the solvency of such utilities.
‘Congress ought to be brave
enough some day to take hold of the
postal service and make it self-sus
taining.

Paul, the eccentric czat of • Russia

that he would tweak the tall of the em

“Who dared to do that?” asked the

”1 did, your majesty,” said Vaksel,
who, however bis heart may have flut
