Hymn for Time OF War.

Father, forgive Thy children come to claim
The pardon promised TO their grief and shame;
Forgetful, thankless, In their hayward will
Father, Thou knowest, and Thou lowest still
Love warns and chastens, love rebukes theil
pride,
Who in themselves and not in Thee conhde;
Though vast our armies, and our quarrels lust
Thine all the Power, In Thee be all our trust
Be with us, God of battles, in this fight;
Ourselves are sinful, but our cause Is right;
Be with our soldiers; arm them heart and mind
In danger dauntless, but In conquest kind.
Pity the wounded, be they friend or foe,
And help the helpless In the hours of woe:
Bless all, o Christ, who do Thy gracious will,
Bless the kind nurse, and bless the surgeons
skill
God Of the widow, soothe her sore distress,
Be Thou the Father Of the fatheEless,
And teach the mother, mourning for her son,
To pray Christ's prayer, Thy will, not mine, be
done.
Inspire Thy priests with wisdom from above,
To tell the dy ing Of Thy deathless love,
10 tell brave hearts that Duty, beaten down
And Vanquished here, shall win the victors
crown.

The south African Mines.

The Kimberley diamond mines, which
are now besieged by the Beers, are in
British territory just outside the bound
aries of the Orange Free State, about 600
miles from Cape Town. They supply %
per cent Of the diamonds of commerce.
The existence of these mines was I'M
known prior to 1867, and since their dis
covery $3.50, 900, 900 worth of rough dia-
monds have been taken from them, and
after cutting the stones were easily worth
double that amount. The output of the
mines is kept down, so the worlds market
may not be overstocked.
Equally wonderful are the Witwatersand
gold fields, located in the South African
Republic, better known as the Johannes
burg mines. A few years ago this terri
tory was worthless and used only for
pasturage. Gold was discovered there in
1888, and the first year $4,000 was taken
out. In 1883 the amount was $1,000, 900 ;
in 1889, $4,000, 900; in 1892, 10000, 900;
in 1895, over 10000, 900, and for the last
two years $55, 900, 600 year. The mines
cannot be worked except by the most cost
ly machinery.

situation at Frankfort.

The surgeons in attendance consider
William Goebel dying man.
There Is also possibility, however faint,
that the surgeons may be mistaken. Des-
perately wounded men recover sometimes,
to the amazement of all beholders. The
belief seems to be growing at Frankfort
that the man who shot William Goebel is
still at large and likely to remain 80 in
definitely. The arrest made soon after the
shooting appears to have been made on
very insufficient grounds. There was
doubt at the time, and q fear that the real
assassin had made good his escape.
The legislative board of contest gave a
decision in favor of William Goebel, in the
teeth of the returns certified by the Demo
cratic county election commissioners and
of the certificate issued TO Gov. Taylor, the
Republican, by the Democratic state cleo
ton commissioners. This board of con-
test, we remind our readers, was chosen by
lot, but the Republicans contend that the
Democrats cheated outrageously and pack
ed it with their own men. After its de-
cision all that was needed to perfect Will
liam GoebePs title to the governorship in
the eyes of his followers was confrmatory
action on the part of the general assembly.
This would undoubtedly have been
taken If Gov. Taylor had not prevented II
by proclaiming Frankfort in a state of in
surrection; adjourning the general assem-
| bly, to meet at London--a town about 20
miles south of Lexington, and in a strong
Republican county-next Tuesday; garri-
soning the state house with militia; ex-
GLIDING the Democratic legislators from the
chambers, and heading them off with
sprinting soldiers when they attempted TO
meet elsewhere in the city. Now we hear
of warrants out for the arrest of all of
them, the speaker of the house included,
in certain contingencies.
These are extraordinary proceedings,
and of very questionable legality. The re-
cent invasion Of Frankfort by a swarm of
armed Republicans from the Kentucky
mountains was an extraordinary proceed
ing. We hope that Gov. Taylor and his
advisers are not disposed to welcome a
| period of domestic violence as a necessary
prelude to federal intervention. The
| judges of the states supreme court have
refused to sit in a statehouse bristling
with bayonets. Men of all parties are arm
ed, angry, and waiting.
Poor, hot-blooded, uick-shooting, poll
tics.cursed Kentucky. We dread the news
that is yet TO come-dread it for her sake
and for the country's sake.
