which the State has a pecuniary inter
est; the parties in interest being the
complainant on the one side, and the
travelling public on the other.
Therefore, the questions presented
are not such as to warrant the assump-
ton that this court is without jurisdic-
ton. The eleventh amendment being
part of the constitution, it must be con-
strued so as to give full force and effect
to every provision of the instrument of
which it forms part.
ANY other construction of this
amendment would practically nullify
that clause of the constitution which
provides that no state shall pass any
laws impairing the obligations of con-
tracts as well as the fourteenth amend
ment."
The opinion shows the laws of North
Carolina, especially provided upon what
terms an injunction shall be granted to
suspend rates, pending litigation or in
yolving the confscatory nature of such
rates; that they authorize the course pur-
sued by the courts when freight rates
are involved, but does not even require
bond for such injunction when passen-
ger fares are in litigation.

Pardon for Rich Piu Thief.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 26.-Wil-
liam Pearson, who escaped from ~sne
Alabama penitentiary 80 years ago
while serving sentence for stealing a
pig, and fled to Texas, locating at Pal
estine, where he has become a man of
prominence and influence, has been par
doned by Governor Conner and thereby
restored to civil and political rights.
The petition for pardon was made by
Governor Campbell and Congressman
Gregg, of Texas, who said that Pear
son is leading and wealthy citizen of
Palestine, and he and his wife and chill
dren stand high socially, The petition
stated that Pearson has frequently re-
fused political Office because he knew
that he could not legally hold it with the
ban of the convict still upon him.
Governor Conner had the case looked
up, and found that Pearson had been
convicted in 1876, in Clay county, when
Is years old, of stealing a pig valued at
81, and sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary. After serving two months
Pearson escaped by knocking down q
guard, and nothing was heard of him

All Powers Watching Anarchist Congress

Amsterdam, Aug. &c. Every coun-
try of Europe has sent some of its most
efficient secret police to Amsterdam to
keep an eye on the anarchists who
gather here this week for their inter-
national congress. Though all that
concerns the congress has been kept a
close secret, enough has leaked out of
the program to cause the various gov
ernments and the heads of state to sit
up and take notice.
The promotion of anarchism among
civilized nations is the announced pur-
pose of the congress. Incidentally. it
is said, the congress will hold draw
ing to determine by lot who shall have
the ''honor" of assassinating those
whose death has been decreed. A pro-
visional list of those to be executed is
said to have been drawn up already,
which embraces the names of the Car
of Russia, the Emperor of Germany
and the Kings of Italy and Belgium.

PRITCHARD ON
RAILROAD CASE
United States Circuit Judge Delivers
Long Expected Opinion.
DECLARES SUIT NOT AGAINST STATE
Within the Meaning Of Eleventh Amend
ment TO Federal Constitution n-UphOlds
Jurisdiction Of His COurt in Issuing Re-
cent IDjunetiOns.

Asheville, N. c., August 27.-Judge
Jeter c. Pritchard, in the United States
Circuit Court, today handed down his
opinion in the now famous case of the
Southern Railway VS.. Franklin Mcneil
and others, in which some time ago he
enjoined the Corporation Commission
. from making and publishing passenger
rate of 2t cents mile under the provis-
ions of the Act of 1907.
The opinion was lengthy one and in
1t Judge Pritchard set forth in detail
reasons for his recent decision and gives
a full statement of the contentious Of
both parties.
Judge Pritchard upholds the jurisdic-
ton of the United States Court in the
: issuance of the recent injunctions
against officials during the railroad rate
controversy and declares that the suit
is not one against the State, within the
meaning of the eleventh amendment of
the federal constitution. The amend
ment holds that the judicial power of
the United States shall not extend to
any suit against the state by citizens of
state. The decision says that state leg
islatures cannot so frame an act as to
deprive citizen of right vouchsafed
him by the federal constitution and il
does not possess the power Ito deprive
this court of its jurisdiction and the
sooner those questions are definitely de-
termined the better it will be for all
parties concerned"
The decision holds that the Corpora
ton Commissioners are still charged
with making rates, the only limitation
upon their power being that they shall
not make a maximum rate in North
Carolina in excess of 24 cents per mile.
The Corporation Commission and the
attorney general are specifically charged
with the duty of securing the enforce
ment Of Section 4, of the passenger rate
act, which provides heavy penalty and
fines for the failure of the railroads and
their officials to comply with this act.
All laws in existence on the passage
of that act bearing on the supervision
and control of railroads. etc., are to be
construed in connection with the rate
act.
cit is inconceivable, the decision
says, ''that q circuit court of the United
States, in the exercise of its jurisdic-
tion, should be powerless to afford q
remedy to one who seeks to assert a
right which is guaranteed by the consti.
tuition of the United States. This is in
no sense a suit against the state. mol
can it be successfully contended that
the state is in any wise party in inter
est, in SO far as the merits Of the con.
.troversy are concerned. 1t cannot be
reasonably insisted that this is a suit tC
prevent the State from enforcing any
right which it possesses, nor can it bt
said to be suit to compel the perform
ance of an obligation Of the State, moi
does it in any wise involve matter il
