there was neither horse, buggy nor min

MORE FEDERAL COURT INJUS-
TICE.

The United States Circuit Court at
Richmond has affirmed the decision OF
Judge Simonton in the now celebrated
James case. Some years ago Mr.. W. a.
James, an engineer on the Western n.
C. Railroad, was killed. His wife
brought suit against the Western road
for damages, and elected to sue the
Western \. C. road because she knew
that the corporation Federal judges
would not permit decent sum to be
paid her. In the State court, after
holly contested legal fight, she was
awarded $4,000. The railroad appeal
ed to the Supreme court and the judg-
ment of the lower court was affirmed.
Just as execution was about to issue,
Judge Simonton-he is always ready to
serve the Southern Railway, even at
the expense of orphans and widows
he keeps on tap and claimed that it
was a case for the Federal courts. Now
he is upheld. and Mrs. James will have
to begin new suit against the Southern
in the Federal court. 1t is more costly,
subject to more delays, and at the end,
unless the Federal judge changes the
practice, the amount in damages will be
shaved down to less than half that any
fair jury would give to the widow and
orphans of the brave engineer who died
at the post of duty.
Is it any wonder that the people have
lost confidence in judiciary that always
stands for the great political corpora
tons?
