King Hassan, well beloved, was wont to
say,
When aught went wrong, or any labor
failed:
Tomorrow, friends, will be another
dayr'
And in that faith he slept, and so
prevail'd.
Long live this proyerb! While the world
shall roll
Io-mo-rows fresh shall rise from out
the night,
And new-baptize the indomitable soul
With courage for its never-ending fi(t.
No one, ! say, is conquered till he Yields;
And yield he need not while, like mist
from glass,
God wipes the stain of life's OLD battle
From every morning that he brings to
pass.
New day, new hope, new courage! Let
this be,
o soul, thy cheerful creed. What's yes.
- terday,
With all its shards-and wrack and grief
to thee?
Forget it, thcn-hcrc lies the yictor's

Keeping App'e, for High Prices.

Keeping App'e, for High Prices.
The cold storage plants of the large
cities are expensive to use, though they
prove profitable if the fruit stored is of
the finest quality. 1t is the grower with
the comparatively small crop who finds
the problem of keeping the fruit for
high prices Il troublesome one. An
apple grower of long experience ad-
vapces the theory that the reason why
the average grower cannot keep apples
for any considerable period is because
he does not treat them properly during
the period between picking and very
cold weather During this period no
cold storage is needed, but after the
fruit is assorted into proper grades it
should be kept in straw-lined boxes un-
til perfectly free from moisture, then
barreled and the barrels kept in cool
but dry barn or excluding until time
to put them in cold storage or to remove
them to the warmer but dry cellar. 1t
is claimed that by this handling the
apples may be kept at least month or
ak weeks longer, even without the sim

Goebcl and tic Republicans.

1t is not strange that many excellent
people in Kentucky are now recalling
the circumstances of the assassination
of Gov. Goebel, and the Indifference
that was manifested at the time and
later OH by the political opponents of
the victim.
The murder of Gov. Goebel was as
foul crime as has ever disgraced
American politics. 1t was the coward
ly act of a sneaking agent of a sneak
ing conspiracy.
1t Ia within the memory of Kentuck-
ians and of many others that this afro
cious murder did not excite general
and unrcseryed condemnation on the
part of Republicans and that many
who did express regret in very careful.
ly measured terms We're moved in the
same breath almost to declare that the
dead governor was not free from re-
sponsibility. No Republican said he
was glad that the murder had been
committed, but plenty of Republicans
were quick to find excuses for the
tliuic anu " NNSt lSpioatu upou -thC
victim.
This attitude was preserved through
out the trial of the conspirators. One
fugitive who was under Indictment
was openly protected by the Cover
nor of Indiana. He was similarly ia
vored by the Governors of Ohio and
Pennsylvania. through which States
lie passed en- route to the Republican
national convention of last year at
Philadelphia, in which he was honored
with seat on the platform and with
, liberal applause.
IL there was a single manly Republi-
can condemnation of the murder Of
Gov. Goebel, n condemnation of assas-
sination without bubble or reservation,
it escaped public notice.
1t is natural that the people of Ken
tucky should recall these facts. but
they should remember also that it is
now and 1t always has been a trait of
Republlcanlsm to lay down rules of
righteousness for the government of
other people. They do as they please
