Situation Unchanged.

The situation at Frankfort is indeed
critical, Tuesday night after Senator
Goebel had been shot the contest
boards met and without hearing fur
Their evidence or the arguments of the
counsels on either side declared Goe
bel elected Governor. Thus it appears
that the committees regarded the
shooting of Goebel as a sufficient pre-
text for declaring him the elected
Governor without law or precedent.
The Republicans are far from being
responsible for the shooting affair.
This responsibility rests with the man
who ordered the contest and each
member OF the Democratic committees
that signed the petition and approved
the contest. However the cause, the
political situation is unchanged. The
people Of Kentucky are striving for
their civil liberties and as sure as time
endures they will MAINTAIN their lib.
critics at the expense of war and blood
shed. The interest that has been man
Tested upon the part of law-abiding
citizens in this contest will never be
abated until civil rights have been
restored and recognized by all con-
cerned in the contests. The contest

written previous to Tuesday night,

ping to discuss the actions of the con-
test boards, for their decisions are OF
little concern, because everyone knew
what the verdict would be when they
were chosen by the legislature, we
might as well accept the situation and
prepare for the next chapter of the
conspiracy. While Kentuckians deep,
ly deplore the act Of Tuesday, they
will not be uDmindful of the lurking
enemy that is seeking their downfall,
they are zealously guarding their in
terests, and evil not be counted out,
If Goebel lives, and we hope be will,
he will never be Governor. Under
his own law and under his own lieu
tenants, the people have held an cleo
ton aud he has been defeated. This
fact is indelibly stamped upon the
minds Of Kentucky ireemen, there to
remain forever. We reassert that the
conditions at Frankfort are serious and
doubtless great danger Is impending,
yet the political situation is unchang
ed, w. S. Taylor has been elected
Governor by the people and he will
serve them four years, without doubt,
unless Providentially hindered.

IT found your medi-

There are women who feel something
like grudge against the children, who,
one after another rob their mother of her
beauty and strength. Men do not usually
realize how much the mother gives to
each child to her own loss. Women
accept it as part of the obligation OF
Nature and pay the debt grudgingly.
Yet in Natures plan every child is a
new JOY and fresh happiness. 1t isn't
the children that steal the mothers
