Good Resolutions.

The good season Of the year is at hand
when we take inventory Of our mental
stock, and turn over a series Of new
leaves in the book Of good resolutions.
We recall that we we've much amused
some years ago over the appearance Of
Two editorials on the same day in two
New York newspapers-The Journal
and The World. One Of the papers ad-
vised Us readers by all means to make
good resolutions; that event if the will be-
came weak as time went on, and we
failed 70 carry them ont, the very fact
OF making the resolution strengthened
the good motise in the heart and so Oh.
U>--aer psPeI said in effect: Ont
and say with this sntiquated practice
Of Haking good resolutions. Not, one
man in a thousand ever lived up TO the
resolutions that he made and the fact Of
his failure would exert a tendency TO
discourage him. and cause let down Of
his viii power.
They were one man opinions, Of
course; and perhaps each mans view
point was colOred by his personal expe-
rienca. Doubtless the man that wrote
advising his readers 10 make good reso
lutions had adhered 10 one or two and
gotten good results. Whereas the other
doubtless had experienced just what be
advised that his readers would expert
slce: he had failed; got back in a few
weeks or a few days into the old rut,
and felt a general crouch against a sys-
ten which had shown him 50 clearly
his own weakness OF will
We must say that this making Of good
resolutions looks to be pretty good prac-
tice to Us. Il is for the purpose OF form
ing resolutions that we take stock OF
the past years achievements aud fall
ures And there is no more wholesale
moral and mental exercise than this
sorting over past events, and the deter
mining Uf what qualities brought them
about.
II you have failed in certain under
takings during the year just ended there
has been q cause; and rest assured the
cause lies within yourself Just as you
are individually responsible for all the
good that has come Of your efforts.
We sincerely believe that more thar
half Of the failures Of the world are due
- our inability or our willful neglect Of
Studying properly the relation Of cause
and effect in our lives.

John r. Gibson, Of this city, is an ap-

Of body, big OF mind and big Of heart,
Mr.. Gibson's appointment 10 the Office
would meet with approval from all who

know is to admire. A good. con-
sistent democrat, a worker for and con-
tribUtor to the party Of parties, he is de-
serving Of all the good things that demo-
crazy can bestow upon him. In the
event he is appointed we have assur-
aDce that he will move the Office to
Richmond, where il should have beer

are feeling good over his prospects OF
landing the Office and that they have
something Of knowing air about them

ments closely will gainsay.

TIE democratic press Of this State is
to be congratulated on the splendid
resolutions adopted at the meeting held
in Louisville during the past week. The
setting forth Of high and intelligent
ideals m the treatment Of political
affairs is most cOmmendable and ad-
mirsble, II the policy is carried out,
and we have ever reason TO believe that
il viii be, il will mean a great deal to
the uplift Of politics in this grand old
State. BY creating astandard for the
men who sspiries TO public life, the
newspapers can do much to discourage
the unworthy and TO attract those whose
character and ability fit them for service.
Insistence that appointments shall be
based on merit and not used as mere polIti
cal rewards, elementary as it may seem in
the theory Of good government, it is yet
so fundamentally sound and practical
and at the same time so much neglected,
shat the press Of the State undertakes a
notable service when it pledges itself to
this policy. Let US all join in the hope
that this good beginning viii bear fruit
in still better things. Adherence to the
principles approved in the resolutions
means clearing the columns Of the news
papers of much useless and actually
vicious matter. Such space can not
be better used than for educational
purposes. There is room for an i'm
provement in the newspaper work Of the
Keotucky press boys and we are indeed
glad that they promise to take hold in
the right way and fight for the better
ment Of conditions all along the lines.

DEATHS

Rapidly are the older landmarks of
Richmond passing to that land from
which borne hence no traveller has ever
returned, and it can be truthfully stat
ed that no citizen in recent years has
been called upon to answer the final
summons that has caused more sorrow
and regret than the death of that we'll
known and nighly respected citizen, Mr..
L. o. Schmidt. About week ago Mr..
Schmidt was seized with apoplexy and
his condition was known to be alarming
from the outset. His age was barrier,
TOO great to combat the disease which
had attacked his frail form and peace
fully death came, as sleep to a tired
child, surrounded by his two daughters,
Misses Kate and Laura Schmidt, the
sole survivors of the family. Dutch"
Schmidt. as be was familiafly known to
his intimate friends, came to this city
over 60 years ago, and during his early
life he conducted a carriage factory in
this city. During these days misfor-
tune seemed to follow this christian
citizen. Thrice fire visited and destroy
ed his property, and unfortunately he
had no insurance in either instance and
the loss was indeed heavy, yet during
all he was perfectly reconciled and
fought bravely on to secure the needs OF
this life. In later years he was connect
ed with the Midkiff Carriage Works as
trimmer and was to be found at his post
of duty daily until he was suddenly
seized and beckoned to that world where
trouble and pains cease. Death had
no fears for this man. Mr.. Schmidt
realizing the shortness Of his hours on
earth told those about him that be vel
coined the change from this to another
world, saying that his days on earth
had been many and it was time for him
to vacate for those who were to come
after. Such expressions from one on
the threshold of another world are suf-
ficient evidence of the preparedness to
meet the hereafter without fear or
trembling. He died as he had lived. a
good citizen. neighbor aud christian

During The war Mr.. Schmidt offered
to both the Union and Confederate
armies his home in this city as a hos
pital. and his generous offer was readily
accepted and used as such by the cod
tending soldiers. Also ia the early days
Of the Catholic church in this City his
home vas used BY Bishop and Priest 70
say Mass, and Mr. Schmidt was one 81
the first trusteesof that church in this
city. Mass was held over his remains
at oaeholic church Monday morning at
$50. After the conclusion OF these SER
vices his remains were laid to rest in
the Richmond cemetery.

One Of the best resolutions for the new
year would be 10 resolve TO create the

with whom we come in contact with the
hope that we may get some fact from
their lives to aid us in our personal
