An Alleged Temperance Organ.
That alleged temperance organ, “The
”Voice,” which recently made an attack
on Yale university and the people of
New Haven, has again put on its war
paint and disgraces itself by using the
most intemperate language toward an-
other great university and the people
at the city where it is located, says the
:{nmnia Sentinel. This time it is Cor-
nell which is the subject of its abuse,
and in its rancor and hate it attacks
private citizens with a venom which
proves its inability to look at a subject
calmly. The result of this last out-
break Will be several suits against the
editors and owners of the paper for
damages, aggregating so far $200,000,
viniseveral more to come. It is a
pit; that men who are so strong in a
fight against i-ntemperance should be
55-» intemperate themselves. Temper-
.r me does not mean solely a renuncia-
tion of the use of intoxicants. Temper-
ance in language is of as much import-
ance as temperance in eating and
drinking. It is certainly a fact that
this wild war against our leading uni-
rersities is making no friends for the
temperance cause.

Eeminlne Patriotism.

Women have ever punctuated
‘tary with deeds that would have
phasized them as heroes had not their
sex debarred them from active partici-
pation in the stirring events that have
been the rushing panorama of the N a-
:tion’s upbuilding. Though they cannot
' all, like Joan of Arc, lead on the bat-
tle-field, there is born in them the po-
tent inspiring characteristic that stim-
ulates cowardice to valor in the men
who are brought in contact with them.
in the present crisis it is noticeable
that the women of our land are partic-
niarly strong in their sentiments, and
are ready to do to the extremity all
that women can do, giving up tllOse
they love to the needs of their country
and. then serve it in that most trying of
(all. forms, in patiently waiting the re-
Still. ‘ .
Let us not disparage masculine pa-
triOtism, but is it not far easier to
mull-ch into a shower of enemies’ bul-
liets, to the strains of martial music,
alum t0 quietly abide at home torment-
"-.ed by rumors, racked by newspaper
narratives and, tortured by the abiding
thought that at any hour or any minute
aver-y precious life may be sacrificed
on the altar of her country 1’ To fight
means actively—that is the man’s allot-
ment; to wait is the woman’s duty, and
though she may'raise her voice loudest
in “The Star Spangled Banner” and
bravely wave her handkerchief to the
Reverting soldier laddie, the girl he
Seal/es behind him must meet the reac
nice that follows all the hurrah of inde-
peuding war and learn that patience,
niter all, is the hardest yet one of the
Littlest forms Of patriotism.

An Illustration.
We concur in the following from the
Ansonia Sentinel. and would war
against the littering of the public
athrwoughfares:
“The writer left his desk late one af
ternoon, last week, and as he stepped
out an the walk he saw a. woman—two
at them, in fact—tear up a newspaper
into-perhaps a dozen or fifteen pieces
and scatter them in the street. It was
a thoughtless act, undoubtedly, but so
are nine-tenths of the acts which cause
our unclean streets. It is just here
where the wisdom of the scheme in-
augurated by the VVoman’s club comes
in. I If there had been within conven-
i‘éasut distance a can or box to receive
mic papers, etc., the woman would
most likely have thrown her torn news-
paper into it.
We see every day men and women
mdchildren eating fruit on the street,
Matias, oranges and other things from
which there is a waste, and the skins
m thrown into the street or on the
audits. with a recklessness of conse-
quences that is remarkable. We wish
mpeople-of our communities would he
. me thoughtful 'of these things.
Dirty streets are not pleasant to the
if; saw-rand they are positively injurious
3' make health. The movement inaugu-
rfled by the club comes in at the right
m Spring with its pleasant. gun-
fine and open weather is here, and
people who have so long been coopedil
up in the house are glad to get out.
They enjoy their-outing better if they
have clean streets and sweet smells.
Let this movement go on. Let our
city authorities consider the petitions
for refuse cans on the sidewalks, and
helpvthe ladies in their efforts to bet-
ter our condition in this respect.”

Connecticut’s Mechanical Supremacy.
W E ER '1.
The annual report of the Commis-
siOner of Patents for the calendar year
1897 'is before Congress. It shows a
tremendous activity among the inven-
tive geniuses of the country, and fur-
nishes proof of the ceaseless restless-
ness of its mechanics,says the New Ha-
ven Register. It awards, furthermore,
to Connecticut the palm for taking out
more patents in proportion to its popu-
lation than any other state—one to
every 786 inhabitants. Next in order
comes its neighbor on the north, the
good old commonwealth of Massachu-
setts, with Rhode Island fifth. This
position assigned to Connecticut is the
one it has occupied for many years, and
retains for it the reputation it has en;
joyed of being the cradle of industrial
progress. Day in and day out the me-
chanics of the state are hard at work
improving upon the facilities of pro-
duction, and reducing more and more
the strain that has fallen upon the toil-
ers. The exclusive tendency of Con-
necticut genius and Connecticut brains
is toward the emancipatiOu of the in-
dustrial classes. '
For the time being, these marvellous
creations of iron and steel, the multi—
plications of little bolts and screws,
seem to threaten the employment and
prosperity of labor, but a broader view
of their mission in the world is to in-
crease the happiness of society as ' a.
whole, and to leave rogm for the de-
velopment of the better nature of hug-
manity. They do not mean the enforce-
ment of idleness upon the laborer.
They mean the increased profit of his
labor, and the increased satisfaction to
be gathered from life. Nothing is surer
than that the little state of Connecticut
is foremost in the peaceful revolution
that is taking place in the world, the
results of which are to do so much in
elevating the races of the earth, and in
developing the spiritual side of man’s
nature. The Connecticut brain is not
utilizing itself to complicate the prob-
lem. It is being used, under wise, in-
spiration, to make the world better. It
is for these reasons that there is es-
pecial cause why Connecticut should
feel proud to learn that it is agaln the
banner state of the Union in the matter
of patents issued.

Fill a bottle Or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof thatthe kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-R0015, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail upon receipt Of three two-
cent stamps to cover cost of postage on
the bottle. Mention THE GAZETTE,

prietors of this paper guarantee the
