English Editorial Comment. London, July 23. Tho Times says editorially: "England's main object in tho matter is against making British and French possessions in Asia con terminous. If she so deslrod she might warn Franco of tho danger she Is run ning by reminding her of tho Tonquin fiasco." Tho Daily News commonts nt length on tho opinion prevalent in tho Gorman press, that n squabblo between France nnd England over Siam would be advan tageous to Germany, nnd expresses the belief that such a squabblo would afford a rest to tho historic fire-oators on both Bides of tho Vosgcs. The Standard's leador on Franco and Slam contains tills passago "Tho terms thut Franco Is trying to Imposo on Sinin would bo undefendable in any court of international morality. Tho roinnrknble osporionce, which we gained from the occupation of Tunis, of tho methods of French diplomacy, forbids us to nccept too confidingly tho published program of tho Qmil d' Orsay.

WiEtt City, Knn., July 22. The ex pected crisis has come in the Kansas minors' strike Miners who wero will ing to work have been Attacked by the strikers, and blood has been shed. The feeling which has been growing more and moro bitter for several days, cul minated in a fierce battjo nt Clements' pit, ono milo south of this city. All tho forenoon thoro wero innttorings of the approaching storm, nnd the feeling was universal that serious trouble was at hand. Just boforo noon a land of 600 men, headed by 100 women, which had boon marching to tho various strip pits, reached Clements' pit, and a committee tried to persnado tho miners there to quit work. This they rofusod to do, nnd when the committor reported, tho ontiro body of marchers Moved on to the woTks to force tho men out. Tho strip men wero ready for thetn, and when they hnd passed tho trespass1 line, they were firod upon, and n general battle ensued, in wliich Winchesters, pistols and clubs wero used. Over 100 shots were fired and it is nothing short of a miracle that nobody was killed. One man was injured in tho forehead, another in tho leg, a boy was shot in tho foot, and ono of tho wo men got a ball .through her arm. None of tho injuries are fatal, and it Ls bo liovcd that none of thorn aro dangorous. A number oh both sides were badly beateu up witli clubs nnd clubbed guns. As a result of tho battle, tho men in the strip pit wore routed by tho strikers and were forced.to flee for their lives, pur sued by tho howling mob, which would havo lynched them had thoy been caught. low Ilates In Sight.

Eleven companies t militia have been ordorod in readiness' f9 start for tho sceno of tho miners' ;rouute. iuv nuuauuu is crmcui, Many aro indlffcicnt and unbe Moving bocsuso they misunderstand what tlio verses imply. Let mo illus trate, A young man is walking down Broadway, Now York, Suddenly ho stops and says: "Am I near Central Park, Sir?" "I answer, "You are go ing from it," Ho gays: "I was walking fast and expected to get there." I re plied: "So continuo walking as you were whether fast or not, but the faster the sooner you will walk into tho bay and drown, to obviato which dcplorablo catastrophe you have only just to turn round and walk without further loss of time to, and enjoy the beauties of Central Pari." If that young gentleman accepts my testi mony, ho turns instants, and auiting his aetion to his belief, ho goes one step at a time until with lungs inflat ed with purer than the Broadway atmosphere, ho gladly justifies icpon- tanco and faith. Again, when Dr. Peirson, was orossing the ocean tooc- oupy the Into Pastor Spurgcon's pul pit, Ho says, thoro was not a ray of sunshino for over four days, by whioh Capt. Cook oould guido his marvelous ship tho "Auronia" an whioh I took ono of my seven trips across tho At lantic. Anxiius for light to appear, ho was oonstantly on the alert! At last, there catno a rift in the clouds! Ho instantly slowed up for they may be Boon dashed on tho dangerous rooks of the Irish coast! Only 200 yards from them is a sailing vessel signalling distress and asking for longitudo and latitude they had lost their bearings; The good captain an swered: "near tho Fastnct lighthouse! follow mo I will lead sou into tho port of Liverpool!" So many pro ciouB souls have lost thoir bearings thoy have lost thoir way! Thoy may havo set Bail on a calm sea lifalookcd so promising and fair! Thoy had not sailed long beforo some troublo caught their unbalasted bark a broad-sider; whioh mado every timber in thoir composition tremble from stem to stern Thoy had not taken God's Son m thoir Captain, nor his word as their chart nor his Holy Spirit as thoir comfort er Tho clouds of trial gathered thicker tho winds of adversity blew a hurricane thoro is blackness and darkness and tempest! despair takes tho place of hopo and wreckage such as T siw in tho caso of the Oregon is all that is loft of "tbo prido of tho soa." All to mark out to those that remain tho folly of attempting to tako tho voyage of lifo without tho guld- anoo of tho Ood of your life. Pray notico that my text is composed of Christ's own words not simply to all mon generally but to each ono in par ticular. Neither is repentance and faith an optional matter, for God now commandcth all men, everywhere, to ropont. Acts 17 30. So many stum bio at this word "repent!" I remem ber a young man in Toronto, Canada, relating ono of his exporienocs. Ho was railway man and very fond of listening foi tho approaching express as it dashed along its straight steel road he always became faci natcd, as i he .watched the headlight when it seemed but a littlo spook miles away, until it appeared in it blinding clare jast as ho allowed himself daily less and less timo to es capo being- dashed to pieocs! One day ho felt invited to the spot as ho mado several attempts to move Hut with one supremo effort be leaped from tho rails to tho platform deter mined never again to jeoprodite his lifo or tho happiness of those dear to him by suoh quos tionablo pleasure I So some here donhtless aro trifling with fiomo ques tionable pleasure which the longer it il- continued tho greater tho fisk as to its fatal result, Mako that supremo effort of will now, which will enable you from this moment, to tako a higher and safer stand for God and right! "Thcro is time, I know not when, A iwhit, I know not whoro, That iD.viks tlio d estliiy of men Fov glory oi d ispair." " Now to tho word "believe." What docs it moan? to assent to, to rest in, trust on, to crodit as correct, to bo persuiided of, to hold in unwavoring 1 Cor. lil, from the revised version. Sho preferred that tho word "charity" thcro properly rondcred "love"bcoause it, sho said, meant "living." I said, I acoept your rendering, for "God is Charity." whioh means that He first oamo from His Glory, in our nature, in tho person of his Son, in order that we may rocoivo Himself, when wo ac cept the gift of His Son whioh is Kternal lifo through Jesus Christ. So, friend, if you do not know what it is to believe, simply "rccsive," "ac cept," "chorish." foster." Jcaus in your heart and life by the Holy Spir it as ho is graoioualy revealing Him to you just now. Look to Christ and life, joy, poaca and blessing is yours! Nor mix tho shadow of ourselves our personalities and circumstances with tho blessed Christ, as we have too often alaslbooloudod his glorious character! "Jesus only," must over bo our theme. Ho is God's magnet! Ho will draw hearts to Himlelf if wo truly prcsont Him to the people, so that thoy can seo Jesus as a substitute, Saviour and Sanctiflcr. Ho is tho Gospel I With out Christ thero are no joyful tidings from God to you and me. We have life in Him. He said, "bocauio I live ye shall live also." "Christ is our life," Let us livo this "Gospel Llfel" received by His soul-saving Holy Spirit and soattor this God-glonfyiag "good news" throughout tho world to overy oreature until Ho come. For the sake of Him who died for us and rose again. Amen. Written (or Tin CuiRr. What's In a Naatet (llV HIM.

Thoro woro letters from our par onts our mothers in particular. And here lot mo givo tho reador a little light on tho subject of our parentage My fathor is a descendant of the llrockin- rldgos, of Kentucky, whoso names have long fiineo becamo us housohold words, owing to tho fact of some of thoir numlier being men not only of stato reputation, but of national reputation as well. My paternal grand-mother wan u llrockin- ridgo; my maternal grand-fathor was a Clay, und noar rclutivo of tho famous Caseins M. Clay. My parents wore con servative in thoir views on tho question of slavery, and before tho war of the rebellion, freed all of thoir slaves. My fathor is not a memticr of any church, but is an upright mun, and is to-day very highly honored in his community. My mother is, and has boon for many years, a member of tho Congregational church, and is beloved by all who know hor. My parents uro now quito aged, but lack nono of tho mental vigor of thoir younger days; at least, I can sco no chango other than that of a cessation of business anxieties, and a calm and soreno dcclino down tho path of lifo down tho path thut loads tho physical man to tho gravo; but at tho samo time, tho spiritual man up to tho world ot light and joy and nover ending felicity. Dick's father is a prominont man, hav ing represented his district in tho stato legislature a number of timet), and is universally respected for his sterling qualities. Dick's mother is a grand, good lady and comes of ono of tho best families in Tennessee Sho is u member of tho M. . church, while Mr. Nailor, like my father, is not a communicant of any church, but Is a man ot great purity of character. Well, to givo tho reador an insight in' to tho real characters of our parents, I shall reproduce tho letters of which mention haa been made, Hero thoy are: "My Deak Bill: Through tho kind intervontionof Messrs. G, H.tfcCo., I am now privileged to address my dear and only cniiu confidence, to aooept, etc. Surely there are nono hero who doubt or oau dolilvoratolly question the beforo stat ed faots and events and beliefs from tho Infinitd Loving God to us needy sinful men! '(lod hi the person ot HU Hon, Hath all bli nobler works outdone." A lady onco objected to my reading 'IV. aav that I fnlt flnnnlv AW nuv a wav wwaej the effects ot thia ono rash act of my boy, will be but to express tho real state ot my mind. Hut I um consoled with tho thought that my boy will not Buffer tho Doouliar circumstances undor which ho Is placod to lead him astray from tho examples and precepts of his loving par ents. I know what u staunch friend you havo ovor been to anch persons as may have gono to you for help, and how ready you aro to go to nil pains-iaKing to do friend others. It would do you good to hour our neighbors and our servants speak ot your good qualities, ninco you went away. I do confidently bollovo that God wilt bless and keen my boy un til wo shall moot again. Tho papers sent you by this mail will fully advise you as to tho stnto of feeling hero, and you will govern yourself accordingly. Futhor joimi mo in lovo to our dear boy, nnd both eond love to Dick, Wrilo of ton, und uiuy God's choicest blessings bo over upon you. Youu Motheu." Dick's mother wroto to him as fol lows: 'My Deau Diok: Through tho kind ness ot Gontlempn G. II. A- Co., wo aro permitted to address you. Now, my dear boy, as your loving mother, I can not writo you a einglo word such as would lead you to conclude that I am displeased with my boy. For, while I deprecate tho affair in which you acted so prominent a part, yet knowing tho spirit thut uctuutod you, I must say that I um nroud of my boy rather thun othorwlHO. llut, I trust thut tho lesson which you huvo uorocontly learned will bo u wholoHOiuo lesson to you, my uour Bon, and that you will, in tho end, be but HIV MUlhU.

Dy tho timo wo had read' Jo lottcra interchnngnbly tho toarB ,:1 mado tracks down our cheoks, buWrtuey wo't not tears of sorrow, but tears fat rejoicing owing to tho sentiments of confidence, trust nnd lovo of our ovor blessed moth ers. Now, had thoir lottera boon ser mons of rebuke, and exhortations to obedienco, I doubt not wo would havo felt llko hardened culprits. But hero wero totters covering up our faults, and vowing etornal ufToctlon and love. Well, wo tenderly placed thoso lottera away, and thon took a look at tho nowspaiiera sent tin in tho samo package Hero were tho Cincinnati papers defending UH, and hero also our own county paper "Tho Times" Haying something in our behalf. Wo wore not prepared for thoso friendly words from tho editor, but after rending further on, wo found tho ap parent reason for his conservatism, as tho following report of certain legal proceedings will show: "lion. James G. Stewart on Trial. Charged with fighting a Duel. History . of tho trial and acquital. Tho grand jury having found a truo bill against tho lion. James G, Stowart for fighting a duol with young Dick Nailor, ho was brought to trial for tho crime. Tho evi dence was so clear that thero was noth ing left to do in tho caso but to listen to tho argument of counsel pro and con, and then tho instructions of the learned judge, before sending tho jury out for deliberation beforo making upthelr verdict. Doth tho prosecuting attorney nnd tho Hon. W. S. Jackson, who ap- jteared for tho defence, did groat credit to themselves. Tho drift ot Mr. Jack son's argument was to tho oToct that thoro are circumstances under wliich a gentleman is oxuusablo for carrying out tlio codo of honor, and thut this was clearly ono of thoso caste. That Mr. Stowart was, and ulwaya had boon, a Stato rights man, and fooling keenly tho assault mado by a young stripling of a boy, who advocated tho damning prin ciples enunciatod by tho Northorn abo litionists, his provocation wob euch as to cauBO any truo Southern man to appeal to the codo. Whllo Mr. Jackson pur sued this lino of thought, thero was groat applauso from timo to tine, the ladies, who wero in the court room join ing in those demonstrations. Tho argu ment of Mr. Juckson was ono of his best offorts ever mado in this district. But tho climax was capped when tho Hon. Judgo Patrick delivered tho chargo to tho jury, tho loading paragraphs of which wo bore givo tho reader of the Times: Gentlemen of tho jury. You aro in structed by tho court that in case you find tho defendant guilty of tho offense ot fighting a duol on Kentucky ground, und that Bald duel was fought without that degree of provocation that would necessarily load a man of high honor anddlgnlty to retaliate, then, you will convict. But should you find from the ovidonco that thero was that degree ot provocation offered in tho matter of newspaper articles, said article reflect ing upon tho bravo men of the South who fought so valiantly for thoir honors, and, homo institutions thon you may take all such matters into consideration, and if satisfied that It is one thing to be a common fighter and another to bo a patriot, then you may acquit. Tho editor then went on to say how that the jury oamo tiling in and hande4 their verdict to tho clerk who read the samo to an overcrowded house, and how tho pcoplo made tho welkin ring with their shouts of joy, etc. Thon he spoke rather kindly of Dick and I.and intimated that we might re turn to our homes wero It not that thero might not be tho same leniency shown ub as had been accorded tho Hon, James G. Stowart; thatour chief offense was not thut of duoling on Kentucky soil, but of being tinctured too much with Northorn abolitionism. Now, as a matter ot fact, tho editor was breaking owuy from tho trammels ot sectional strife, und was deserving of great praise for his moderation.
