The North Carolina Railroad Case.

Mr.. Justice WHITES decision in the
North Carolina Railroad Commission
case has been hailed as one Of far reach
ing importance on the assumption that
"there lie practically M limit to the power
which a State Railroad Commission may
exercise in the regulation Of railroads
by the application Of his ruling, The
view ia also entertained that the effect Of
the decision will be to encourage State
rather than Federal regulation.
The point at issue was very simple:
whether the State Railroad Commission
could compel the Coast Line Railroad to
make a connection at Selma with the
Southern Railroad to accommodate trav-
ellers. The case was carried up to the
United States Supreme Court on the con-
tention that the act OF the commission
was unconstitutional In that 10 obey Ito
order would subject the company TO a
| pecuniary loss which amounted to a
deprivation Of property without due
process Of law. and in that a denial Of
equal protection before the law was in
volved. II may be supposed that what
the company objected to was not a single
act Of the kind, but the implication that
II that act were declared lawful it would
practically have to submit 10 a series Of
similar acts, which would have the effect
Of materially reducing the revenue Of
the company and thus working a depri-
walton Of property in violation OF the Con-
stitution. Mr.. Justice WHITE, however,
did not take such q serious view OF the
Gaze, In his opinion he says:
"a the primal duty Of 9 CARRIER 10 10 furnish
adequate facilities 10 the public, that duty may
well be compelled, although BY DOING 10 - an
incident Goms peeuniSD Iops from rendering such

Germany, France and Our Customs
Regulations.

The new German-American agree
ment, intended TO avert a tariff war, has
met with the approval Of the Bundesrath
and may be expected 70 be sanctioned
presently by the Reiohstag. 1t is well
known that under this compact the Ber-
lin Government will extend for a year the
existing modus pipendi, which permits
American goods to enter the German
Empire on payment Of the minimum
duties leviable upon such commodities.
Precisely what equivalent 10 to be given
by us for this privilege has not been an
nounced oficially, but IN May 1 a Berlin
Newspaper, the Lokdl An1eiger, published
what Is alleged 90 be a correct outline Of
orr concessions.
The concessions made by ia are con
fined to administrative changes In the
customs regulations, changes which do
not need TO be embodied in q law by
Congress or in q reciprocity treaty 40
oeptable to the Senate. Two OF them,
however, arc OF considerable practical
Importance. For example, the export

One OF Charlotte's leading matlonS
walked into her servants room q few
nights ago to speak to the girl and
just as she opened the door she per-
ceived through the darkness a negro
man in the act Of getting in the win
dow. The experience was a frightful
one, but one that led to the discov-
cry that her servant was married, of
which she had not the slightest in
timatiOn, and a more startling dis
cOvery still, that her husband had
been living with her. When she
had recovered from the fright the SER
want, who was standing in the middle
of the room, not knowing whether
to speak or just what to do, was ask
ed for an explanation. She frankly
admitted that she was married and
that her husband had gained an en-
trance to her room every night by
means of raising a ladder to the win

..IAW AND ORDER LEAGUE"
Formed a, Largely Attended Meeting
OF Citizens OF Fayetteville.

The Fayetteville Observer Of yester-
day has the following account OF the
organization of a Law and Order
League" in hat city which was per-
fected at a largely attended meet
ing of citizens on Tuesday evening
The Observer says:
In to the call Of Messrs.
J. R. Tolar, J. G. Shaw and f. D.
Jones, an unusually large meeting OF
citizens took place in the court O
last night. Nearly four hunded people
crowded into the hall and during
the course Of the meeting much en-
thusiasm was displayed. Mr.. Toiar
opened the meeting with ar eloquent
plea for the enforcement of law n
order, not against any n particular
evil, but all evils. He said that a
prominent city Official recently told
him that it was impossible to
enforce the present laws, without
the aid of the citizens in general. He
stated hat the object of the meeting
was to form a Law and OrdeI
League" and then asked Rev. G.. F.
Smith, pastor of Hay street Metho-
dist church to open the meeting With
prayer. A number of speeches follow
ed prominent among the speakers be-
ing Hon. J. G. Shaw, Major A. A. Nc

grOes, was present, was also called on
and assured the meeting that the
| great majority of the members Of his
race were entirely in sympathy with
the objects of the meeting, and that
the suggestion that the negroes also
form a Law and Order League, made
by the president, would be gladly
adopted at once.
Just before the meeting adjourned,
Mr.. Shaw arose and said that two
weeks from next Monday, Sheriff Wat
son would arrive in Fayetteville with
the murderer, Walker, and asked that
the law be allowed to take its course
He requested all those who would
pledge themselves to see that the ne
gro was tried, and if convicted, exc
cuted according to law. to stand mp
and a large majority of the citizens
stood up and took the pledge.
