THE TELEPHONE SUITS.
What Attorney General Garland Has TO
Say About Them and
Himself
In Connection with Them A Letter
from DE- Rogers of ihe Pan
Electric,

Attorney General Garland, who return
to Washington few days ago, was inter-
viewed by a correspondent, who asked
him if he had anything to say in regard to
the charges of the New York 3fSbuns, that
he had instituted a seit in the name OF the
United States 10 test the validity of the
Bell Telephone patents in the interest o.
the Pan-E ectric Telephone Company.
Gen Garland replied, with a smile which
signihed that he did not attach any i'm
portance to the matter, that the frst he
heard of it was On Last Sunday, after his
arrival in little rock from his home, en-
ro.le 70 Washington. He then received a
telegram from the New Orleans Times
Democrat, calling his attention to the
Tribune publication, and asking for aome
explanation. He replied that he had not
heard of the s11it before and knew nothing
whatever about it; that he had not granted
any authority to institute such . suit
and was not aware that one had
been instituted. When he left for
hie vacation Gen. Garland gave in
stiuct ons that no public business should
be sent to him during his absence, as he
vNsStFd short period of rest. This direc-
tiolN was complied with, go that he really
was not aware Of what was officially done
during his absence. Any authorization
for such suit was granted during Gen.
GaEland's absence. snd he, therefore not
only had nothing to do with it, but kns W
nothing about it. Attorney-General Gar
land has owned some stock in the Pan
Electric Telephone Company since its OF
ganizltion, but it is claimed that That fact
should not operate &c deprive the company
ii any legal ri-bts it might have. The
question Of Tie legal status of the compa-
| mes must he decided in the courts, and
| not by the At--rrey-G General.

STATE CASES
To he Referred to Other Magistrates
Hereafter by Judge Hadden.

President Hadden will bind no more
prisoners guilty of offsnses against the
State over to the grand jury. They must
be t ken charge of by other magistrates,
and thus the commonwealth will have to
pay the piper at last. In the Police Court,
yesterday morning, he said:
Heretofore it hss been the custom of
this court to try S'ets cases. There are
very many State cases which come here
in fact, there have been more OF these
cases disposed of in this court than in all
the other magistrate courts in the city.
During the last term OF the Criminal
Court every case bound over from this
court was indicted. l don't know that
each case was convicted, and don't say
that they should have been. For all this
the Taxing District has received the same
fee as magistrates, and 1 suppose the Tax
ing District has received from $3.50 to
s40O annually. This was for my servic e
as magistrate. No one has ever doubt
ed my authority to bind these cases
over. But If am to do II this work The
Taxing District Is not to be compensated
for nv services. In future l shsll decline
to de with State cases. There is no use
in this court consuming three or fIuI

To the Editors of the Appeal;
In your issue of last Sunday, the 9th
ultimo, appeared an open letter from JUS
tice r M. Mason, addressed to the County
Coure Of Shelby; in which he attempts t.
COZ t,overt the recent published report OF
the grand jury, ss touching his steward
ship SO superintendent of the County
Wort House.
Nor, We wish il u1derst oil IN advance,
that we do not intend, and will not allow
ourselves to be drawn into a newspaper
controversy and we wish it further under
stood that, in our laboIs as members of
the Lite grand jury we had "do enemies
to punish or friends to esafd." Acting
under our oaths, we ende2vored to dis
charge, conscieniiously and to the best OF
our ability, the high duties devolving
upon US, having in view only the respon-
sibility Of the position, and the good of the
public. We, therefore, disclaim, emphati-
cslly, any intention of doing Injustice to
Justice Mason, nor, do We undertake, in
our report, to criticise the actions of Maj
Mason, the County Court, any other cotuiy
| officials, except so IA as the evidence
| warranted.
AS to the swift and willing witness re-
| ferred to by Justice Mason, we would say
| that the only evidence We used against
| him, outside of his books and papers
| were bis own sworn statements and those
| OF his friends. In conclusion we respect
| fully ask the County Court, when appoint
| ing the committee asked for by Maj
| Mason, to instruct its chairman to cal

the late grand jury as may be designated

As TO the Roumelisn difficulty, now the
paramount question in Europe, there can
be no doubt that the powers, while de-
claring their willingness 10 stand by the
terms of the Berlin treaty, will not inter
fere to prevent the people of Roumelis
from maintaining the independence they
have asserted. The promise of Lord Sal
isbury, speaking for England, is significant
of this, and 80 is the explanation offered
by Herr Tzss to the Hungarian Diet.
Revolutions never go backward" will be
found as true in this case as in all others.
Turkey is in process of disintegration as
the easiest and simplest method
of solving the problem of Mos
lem rule in Europe, and the
Roumelian revolt is only part Of a move
ment that will likely culminste before the
close of the century, which will find, let

ONE of the most significant pieces of

cord as to the progress being made by
women, comes to US from Oxford, Miss,
where, We lssra, Miss S4lie MEG.
1som has bern elected to fill
the chair Of eloeution and oratory
in the University Of Mississippi. This
advance, 60 creditable to Miss Isom as well
as to the university, is the natural outcome
ofthe liberal policy toward women initiated
by Gen. Stewart and pursued by him 20
successfully. Mississippi now stands
on an equality with the most sd-
vanoed States of the North as to
provision for the education of
women, and can point with especial pride
to Miss Isom's present position as 4 proof
that within her borders women have an
open field and the freest scope for growth
and expansion in competition with men
Miss Isom Is honored above al OF her sex
as member of faculty that stands
among the best of the highest educational
institutions of the country.

that the harm done by the Mormons had

csae Of unlawful recruiting of men and
women the provisions of tue penal code
would be applied. The Mormons made
