WRITTEN FOR EFFECT.

The object OF Mr.. Thorn. Of course,
was to try to get in the record for ef-
feet upon the supreme court and for
foreign consumption the statement thar
the Southern railway had been denied
q fair trial in the North Carolina
courts and that they had been Club
bed into submission-in word. that
their rights had been taken from them
by force
The above is an extract from an ed
itorial in The News and Observer Of
yesterday on the railroad rate con-
test now being waged in the courts
in this state. Does this mean that the
judges of the supreme court, who pass
upon both the law and the facts in the
equity suits, are governed by senti-
ment? that any matter put in the rec
ord for effect will have weight with
them in ascertaining the facts and ap-
plying the law thereto? One OF the
chief reasons the Southern railroad
had for bringing its suit in the federal
CouIl was IHdL III equity CdScS-SuCu
as this one is-all the facts go up to
the court of last resort and it passes
upon them as we'll as upon the law
applicable to them and it wished its
case reviewed and decided as 10 law
and facts by the members of that
cOurt-men learned in the law, of long
experience in passing upon such ques-
tions, who are far removed from the
scene of the contest and who have no
bias whatever in the matter When
the attorneys for the Southern railroad
went before Judge Pritchard and ask
ed him to modify his former order they
simply laid before him the facts on
which they based their application. 1t
was necessary that they should do so.
The proposition had come from the
counsel and the plaintiff
had acceded to it as the only means
by which it could prevent harassment
of it's employees and probably great
loss to it's stockholders, and it laid
these facts before the judge as its rea-
son for asking him not to enforce the
former decree. That is ali there is to
