Bullaces! How seldom one hears those delicious grapes called by that name these days, and how seldom does one have an opportunity to feast upon them. In the old daysNthey were "buI- laees." They are ''muscadines" now, however.
 You catch onto the good old-tim name do you? We were not sure but that we might better feel in the words of the old song.

seem matter of very little moment whether the jurisdictional question reaches the United States Supreme Court through the channel of the State courts. or from the Federal Court in this state-the judgment of neither would have any binding effect upon the United States Supreme Court If, how ever. the State authorities consider it such vital matter for the State courts to take jurisdiction of the question why may not tine railroad companies in a spirit of concession yield that point, especially as it would not at all be necessary for them to confront that dreaded institution a petit jury? A case in equity could be shaped up i'm volving the validity of the statutes and raising the federal questions neces- sary to give tho Supreme Court of the United States jurisdiction on appeal. and we have 8 judge tn Montgomery of undoubted brains, courage and in- tegrity, before whom every litigant has fair and equal showing. If Judge sayre is not judge of that kind then We have none in the State.
 But would it be wise for the State to have the litigation in the State court If 1t could? It would seem not, for if it should turn out that the State Supreme Court should decide adversely to the State the latter could not appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. for sn such cases it is only the party who claims adversely to the State statutes and the statutes gre upheld. or the party who claims rights under the Constitution and laws of the United States and such claim is denied. that can appeal from the State 5u- preme Court to the United States Su- preme Court. On the other hand if the case is tried in the United States Cir cult Court. either party can. as 1t in- wolves Federal questions. appeal di- rectly to the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States. We are equally fortunate in having s Federal Judge in Mont gomery whose devotion to Alabama has been proven by the severest tests known to man, and whose integrity and ability have been demonstrated in numerous public positions.
 It would not be a difficult matter for the able counsel representing all the parties to agree upon a modus vivendi during the pendency of the litigation. But after all the simplest, speediest and cheapest mode for testing the ques- ton would be by the writ of habeas corpus. under a proceeding in which all parties are working to the end of re- view by the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States. That court meets again in October and 1t is altogether probable the court, because of the importance and exigeneies of the case. could be in- duced to give an early hearing. Every Consideration of public policy and pri- vate interest require a calm, speedy judicial determination of these import ant questions and a cessation of all ap- peals to passion. and threats of coliis- ion between State and Federal author

A gentleman, writing from Selma complains that The Advertiser pub Iishes misleading statements as to the strike situation. We have published the statements of both sides to the controversy and given publicity to the claims of each. The companies insist that things are moving along fairly well, while the strikers say to the con- traFy. We give the writer's reason for believing that the companies are not giving good service He says:
 My firm, as rule, receives from ff- teen to twenty messages per day, and we have not had twenty wires now in ten days and since Sunday last we find the mails just quick to some points. Indeed on yesterday we received a message which was sent from Cairo, Ills. at a. m. of the 18th, and reach ed us at D. m.. and in one hour there after we received a letter from the sender confirming the wire. And in the face of such service you say condi- tions are normal ami the telegraph com panies are handling business without delay or inconvenience. Possibly with out inconvenience to them but 1t is very inconvenient to the business man. We have just receivedea wire G2:30 D. m) dated yester rday/ from St Louis, which reads thusly: Telegram amin teIligent. ete" This is of course busi- ness which they are handling in nor maj condition.
 The Advertiser has no desire to mis- lead or misinform and when 1t pub fishes the news furnished to 1t by both contestants shows a spirit of perfect fairness. The experience of our Selma correspondent goes to prove that there Is great and grievous delay in receiv- Ing and sending messages.

 Fort Deposit Ala, July 2sth Editor Advertiser:
 As you have doubtless given some attention to the subject. will you please enlighten me as to reasons why the good soldier, great lawyer and politician, Aaron Purr incurred such universal hatred persecution and obloquy? Hamilton ad- rnitted in paper written the night before the duel severe criticism of Burr: the duel was common then and for many years thereafter. Hamilton's son had been killed in a duel almost on the same ground, not a great while before. Burr had as great provoca- ton as Barrow in the case of Decatur or Clay in that of Randolph.
 Burr's intended filibustering expedi- ton against the Spanish territory of Texas and Mexico was perverted into a charge of treason to his country of which he was acquitted. Later the United States did on a wider scope that which the restless mind and ambition of Burr had aspired to- Why was he, hounded to poverty and obscurity?

 1t is noteworthy fact that there Is scarcely a city or town in Alabama in which the newspaper business is not overdone, and the result is that very few of the Alabama papers are making more than a bare living.
