The Kentucky gubernatorial contest case will be heard by the U. 8. supreme court April 30. In the list of valuable products grown in Porto Rico, no mention has so far been made of campaign funds. Which will reach Porto Rico first, the trade anti prosjierity which she needs and which was guaranteed to her by General Miles*, or a lot of carpet-baggers? The H ouse has passed a bill for a constitutional amendment for the direct election of Senators by a very large majority. Now it will be interesting to see what the Senate will do with it. The republicans of the CarrollWhite jutlieiul circuit renominated Truman F. Palmer for judge and Edward E. Pruitt of Delphi, was nominated for prosecutor at their judicial convention nt Monticello last Saturday. The U. 8. supreme court has again rendered a decision in an important case in favor of a big monied corporation, and against the people. The base was that against the American Express Co., to compel it to pay the war stamp tax, instead of the shipper. The express company wins, of course.
