The south and the Courts.

PhiladelphlR Inquirer.
 The ghost of imperialism will not down in several of the Southern States. In the North Carolina railroad cases. Judge Pritchard has handed down a decision upholding his course in the matter and Judge Jones of Ala bama has gone still further. In part these decisions are only of academic and North Carolina have agreed to a modus viYendi pending the decision of the Supreme Court. In Alabama the leading railroads have done the same. but one company has failed to accept the compromise and Judge Jones has granted an injunction, while the Gov ernor threatens to call out the Legisla- ture.
 The whole crux of this dispute is whether the State or the Federal courts have superior Jurisdiction pending a final decision at Washington. One would suppose from the angry protests of the Southern people that the Federal judges involved were proconsuls of the administration sent down South to wreak vengeance and rule with a rod of iron. One would certainly suspect that these judges were not Southern men. but were Northern disciples of the old Federalist school, who condemned State lines as mere arbitrary divisions for purely local purposes, while all hhe rights. powers and administration of the nation inhered in the Federal gov ernment. Nothing could be further from the truth.
 Judge Pritchard. though born in Ten nessee, has spent most of his life In North Carolina. where he served in the Legislature. Although a Republican, he Wa. elected by the coalition with Popu lists which he did much to bring about and which for a time was successful.
 l8 li3.tHr with the local situation and in the Senate was an ex. ponent of the rights of his State and served with credit.
 Judge Jones was formerly Governor of Alabama. Is a Democrat. and was ror years prominent in promoting legisla- tion in favor of the regulation of rail- ways. Apparently his personal views are much in favor of very close reg ulation and supervision, but he is enough of a lawyer to understand what the constitution prohibits. So here are two Southern lawyers and states men taking the Federal ground In their own States and for conclusive reasons as it seems to most persons. Judge Pritchard lays down very clearly the reasons why the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution does not apply In the cases before him, and Judge Jones has ordered the railways to lower rateS In some specified cases. On the whole it does not seem as if the rights of tho States are to be injured by these South ern men. There is no occasion Hor alarm or anger. The Supreme Court will eventually decide.

MooNsHINER ARRESTED.


Randolph County Man In Custody for
 Two Year old Offense.
 Joe Boggs, white resident of Ran- dolph County, was arrested yesterday morning by Deputy Marshal Hiram Gibson, of the United States Marshais Office. and brought to this city, where he was admitted to bail by Judge Jones in the sum of $200. Boggs is accused of illicit distilling.
 The arrest of Boggs brings to a point @ case that has been outstand- ing in the court for nearly two years At that time, two years ago. the dis tiilery which is alleged to have been operated by Boggs was destroyed by United States deputy. and since that time the owner had not been arrested because of the fact that no grand jury previous to the late one had consid- cred the case.
 At the recent session of the grand jury true bill charging Boggs with illicit distilling was brought against him, and his arrest yesterday was due to this.
