ALABAMA AND THE RAILROADS.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
 The Alabama case differs from those in Virginia and North Carolina, but involves substantially the same principles.
 Recently the Alabama legislature passed three laws of importance. The maximum rate rate for passengers was made 21a cents per mile. Maximum freight rates were established for more than one hun dred commodities. Lastly, forseeing what would happen law was passed making the penalty of a railway appealing from state to a federal court the forfeiture of its license to do business. This license for corporations outside the state costs BIO. The Southern railway appealed from a state court decision and the federal judge decided that the rate laws were unreasonable and should not be enforced. Then the state revoked the license Un- fortunately, the legislature on Saturday failed to pass law providing for putting the property of corporations which had forfeited their license in the hands of receivers. At present the situation is ano- malous. The state has revoked the ll- cense, but is impotent to procede further, and the railway continues doing business. The state does not want it to stop, though one of It's officials says it may be hat the company will only do interstate bus mess
 It will be noticed that here is a direct issue between federal and state jurisdlc ton set up by statute. In the Virginia and North Carolina cases the question Is not one of statute, but of broad prin- ciples, though the fundamental issue is the same The dispute arises out of our dual system, which, with all it's many good qualities, has often brought about friction. It should be kept in mind how ever that the issue is not between two entirely distinct interests, as is the case in most litigation. Where one man and another, when one state and another or one nation and another are at issue, the case is much clearer than in the peculiar ly mixed situation between the United States and one of it's constituent parts. In all this talk about issues between state and nation it is often forgotten that the state Is a part of the nation and not an- tagonistc to 1t.
 What are the rights of states which are beyond federal control?
 This question has been agitated from the beginning of our government. An other of its phases Is now to be de- termned.

The Standard Oil is everywhere re- garded as the chief predatory trust in the country. It was the first in time lnd is the worst in practice the coun- try has ever known.

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.

From "A Midsummer Nights Dream" Act l. Scene 1. For aught that ever I could read Could ever hear by tale or history The course of true love never did run
 smooth; But. either it was different in blood. Or else misgraffed in respect of years, Or else it stood upon the oh oice of
 friends Or. if there were a sympathy in choice. War. death, or sickness did lay siege
 to 1t, Making it momentary as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream: Brief as the lightning in the collied
 night. That. in a spleen, unfolds both heaven
 and earth, And ere man hath power to say Be-
 -. holdv' The jaws of darkness do devour itNupi So quick bright things come to cons
 fusion.
