Right here in May field every thing is tops5 -turyy, politically speaking, and many of the business men say they will he glad when next Wednesday morn ing comes,
 A this unparaelled campaign in Kentucky nears its end, two things become very apparent. The first IS that Goebel and his felIow-conspira- tors against the freedom of the bal lot are desperate enough to Use re- lentlessly every advantage which the infamous Goebei election law gives them ia the way of a dishon- est count. The second is that there has been great awakening Of the moral sense of the community to the peril that lies before the state.
 IDfthe view of the citizen that is suddenly summoned to defend his most precious political right, the question of whether the state gov ernment shall be in the hands of Republicans or of Democrats, dwin- dies into nothingness when com pared with the question as to wheth- CT or not popular institutions will be ogerthrown. It seems Of com paratively little importance that Goebel is a man of repulsive char acter, with a hideous personal re- cord. Honest men are branding him almost every day en the stump as a seoundrel and a murderer.

Strong CT invectiqe has not been used since John Young Browns famous denun- citation of old Ben Butler in the halls of Congress. It is about the hottest thing that has come over the politiea pike recently, and those who wish an understanding of the political situation in Kentucky and an insight into Goebels character, should peruse Owens speech

After Goebel had rece.yed his nomination the pure Democrats met and selected Ex-Governor John Young Brown. of Jefferson county, and prayed that all liberty loving and honest Democrats of the Blue Grass State pledge him their support. The Republicans, who are ever on the alert to regain lost lau- rels, saw flood and took it at the tide They immediately put forth W. $. Taylor, of Butler county. Then the real fun began and each day the comedy becomes more laughable and interesting. and at the present date excitement reigns supreme

Raleigh. N. c.. Dec. 4.-United States
Circuit Judge Simonton has granted the
petition of the Corporation Commits
sion for a 'fe-hearing OF the rail-
road tax. The re-hearing was asked
on the ground that the recent decision
of the State Supreme Court, in the case
of Abbott VS.. Beddingfeld, holds that
the Corporation. Commission has the
power TO fix the tax value Of railroad
property in the State.
Judge Simonton in his decision
shortly before this held exactly The
opposite. ~ Federal judge Is bound by
n States construction Of it's own laws.
Counsel for the Corporation Commits
sion say that in view OF the Abbott
decision Judge Simonton cannot now
do anywise than reverse his opinion on
the question of the taxing power.
The railroads, on the other hand.
will contend that the deliverance of
the Supreme Court on the taxation
question was purely collateral mat
ter. not directly before. the court.
and that, therefore, United States
Judge Is not bound by 1t.
The Corporation Commission fixed
the value OF railrosd property in the
State at $4,000 900. and Judge simon
ton, by his decision, cut 1t down to

Washington. Dec. i'm the u. S. SUI
prcme Court the Addystone Pipe case
was decided. This case involved the
constitutionality of the combination Of
pipe manufacturers to manufacture
pipe, which, it was charged was
trust. The decision was handed down
by Justice Peckham, and was adverse
to the combination. II was, therefore,
In opposition to the trust. The opinion
of the Court of Appeals Tor the Sixth
Circuit was affirmed.
X There were two questions before the
court In connection with the case. Tho
first Mas whether the constitutional
clause for the regulation of Interstate
commences applied TO individuals and
corporations. and the second whether
If the clause should be found to so ap-
ply the combination is a regulation OF
Interstate commerce.
> The court held that the constitutional
clause did apply 10 individuals and
corporations, and that the agreement
does by its provisions restrict and res
strain commerce between the States,
Hence the agreement was decided to be-
void as applying to Interstate business
and the injunction sustained.

combination affected were the Addy-s
