Jenerson's disgust at the changes made in his
draft is described by Mr. Michael. The Cont

ing the king with melting "treasonable insurrec-
tions with out fellow-citzens," by promising them
conhscated property; with carrying on the slave
trade and refusing to allow American legislatures
to suppress it. While these and many other
clauses were being stricken out OF his draft JET

defense OF his own work, Notwithstanding he

that some OF the drafts best parts particularly
that indictng the king for continuing the slave
trade, should not have been stricken out Yet
II will be well to remember" Mr.. Michael says,
that Georgia and South Carolina were both car
rying the slave trade at this time as energet-
icaly as they were able, and other colonies had
prohted largely by the traflc. Hence It
ridiculous to arraign the king for doing the same
thing"

New Orleans daily newspapers were
biased in their news reports of the pro-
cesdings of the Louisiana oyster law
test case before Judge Chretien in New
Orleans on Tuesday. Much space was
given to the arguments of Amos Pom
der, attorney for the Louisiana Commis-
sion, while virtually nothing was printed
in regard to the arguments of Messrs.
Lionel Adams and Joseph Generelly,
attorneys for Mississippi, retained by
the Commercial Club of Biloxi. New.
Orleans, its newspapers, its every branch
of industrial and commercial endeavor,
draws largely from the Mississippi Gulf
Coast for patronage. The paramount
industry of the Mississippi Gulf Coast
country is the canning of oysters, and
New Orleans and Louisiana, in enacting
a law prohibiting Mississippi from fish
ing the bivalves as formerly. in order,
as the plea sets forth, to induce and
force outside canneries to locate within
its borders, STILES the local industry,
paralyzes business prosperity and, in
turn, Injuries herself. There IS some
thing wrong in Louisiana's philosophy.

sEC'Y MEYER VS.. N. O.

] Secretary of the Navy Meyers atti-
tude towards New Orleans is as small
as his Office is great, and he allows no
occasion to 60 by unless he employs it
to this advantage.
/ His prejudice towards the naval sta
ton located at Algiers is well known,
and what promised to be one OF the
country's most successful rendevouz
for the vessels of the second greatest
navy of the world has fallen into mere
nothingn ess. In fact, aside from an
idle dock and buildings, it is almost des-
titute of machinery; there remains moth
ing but the name. And Meyers has
recommended its wiping-out, but the
organized commercial and industrial
forces of New Orleans have always ral-
lied and put forth splendid defense.
And now New Orleans receives an
other humiliation at the hands of the
Navy Department. In reply to the an
nual request for the sending of one or
more big warships to add to the Carni-
val celebration, the Department an
nounces, condescendingly, as it would
appear, that the gunboat Wheeling.
will be sent. one of the smallest and
lightest-draft vessels in the service-a
mere circumstance of representation.
It seems this 10 to disparage the deep
water harbor at New Orleans, to slight
the naval station claims, and must
necessarily carry with it sectional preiu-
dice and partisan feeling. At least,
that is how it appears, anyway.
The New Orleans Picayune is piqued,
naturally, and says:
"We are going to get the gunboat
Wheeling, which will be pitiful affair
by the side of the German cruiser Bre-
men, now in the city's harbor. But it
seems to be rule with our naval autho-
rites to humiliate their officers by
showing them off in little vessels in the
presence of great ships of foreign ma
vies."

It has been contended that itinerant

It has been contended that itinerant
tent shows, such as come to Bay ST.
Louis in the course of the winter, do a
community no good, but, on the con-
trary, carry away several hundred dol
lars in nickels and dimes. The Board
of Mayor and Aldermen OF Biloxi have
solved problem worthy of emulation.
An ordinance was passed prohibiting
tent shows within what. they were
pleased to term the business district,
namely: the territory bounded by the
beach, the Louisville &; Nashville. Rail-
road tracks, Bellam street and Bohn
street, which virtually means that tent
shows cannot come to Biloxi unless they
hold forth out of town.
