The yellow journal down New York
way that makes a specialty of nprohi-
bitionism recently sent a circular let~
ter to 89 N cw Haven, clergymen, says
the Hartford Courant. It aSked them
whether they were in favor of a “No
,l‘iCense” campaign in their city this
year, and what would be the attitude
at the churChes toward it. Three New
Haven preachers- I’oteatfiMeyer and
Haven—replied in a manner satisfac-
tory and pleasing to the yellow contem—
porary. The wife of another informed
it that her husband was out of town.
A fifth wrote a non-committal note.
Eire said “No” to the first question.
0m: of these, Professor Ladd said: “I
than the recent action of~;‘The«§Howl’

ized every right-minded, influential
and even decent family and individual
in New Haven, as to make the time the
most inopportune possible for any-
The othd‘r 79
clergymen wouldn’t say their prohi<
bit-ion catechism at all. “The rest of
the preachers of New Haven,” com-
plains the yellow catechist, “either re-
turned our letter unanswered or paid
no attention to the inquiries.” Good
for them.

The Hope for Peace.
Spain has been compelled to show a
warlike front while the Parliamentary
elections were pending. There had
heenQn-oappeal to the country since the
.‘SagastalMinistry came in and it was
essentialfor it to secure a decisive ma-
jority. It could not" allow the reaction-
ary party any advantage in patriotic
demonstration. ‘
It is said that the 432 members elect-
ed to the Cortes, 300 are partisans of
the present the Car-
!iszs and the Radicals together being
left in an unpoteut minority. Under
those conditions the government can
afford to follow its best judgment in
treating with the United States, and
the fact may partly account for the
government,
more temperate tone prevailing at
,Mad rid.
Washington is evidently hopeful of a
peaceful settlement and that both houses
of Congress abstained from any discus-
sion of the Maine report shows a con-
tinued disposition to give the Presi-
dent’s policy of diplomatic insistence
every chance. NO one understands
better than he the imperative necessity
of a real concession of Cuban rights
not a mere pretense, and it need not
be feared that he will be satisfied with
anything less than will satisfy the
country. ‘
Spain has been coming to a compre-
hension of this necessity, under all the
bluster of the past few weeks, as
European sentiment has found more
and more distinct expression against
her. The attitude of this government
will be still further strengthened by
its persistent patience in the face of
extraordinary provocation, and there.
are. still many reasons to hope that
Cuba may be liberated without war.
Trust the Captain.
When the captain is on the bridge,
trying to sail the ship into port through
rocks and breakers, with mines and
torpedoes on every hand, it is a good
thing for the ofiicers and crew to keep
still and wait for directions. When
they take to shouting and quarreling
and calling the captain names, it does
not couduce to the safety of the ship.
The President has shown a quiet
courage in the excitement of the last
Pew weeks that. entitles him to the
fullest confidence,says the Philadelphia
Times. It is the weak men that lose
their heads and grow passionate. The
impressive calm of the message on the
Maine was the whim of strength, and
the Masons and the Fox-akers, who
mistake loud talk for courage, only
Show their littleness in their impa-
Hence.
The redemption of Cuba is an assured
fact. Spain will not renew the attempt
at. subjugation and the relief of the
'gmple and the, establishment of their
fireedom is Only a question of time and
wens. If the President has reaSOn to
believe that he can bring about the
Mined
without the uncertainty and delay, the l
suffering and loss, the indefinite sacri-
fice of life and treasure that immediate
intervention must involve,\ he is en;
titled to have his plans respected, at
least till they have failed.
Loyalty to country requires this as
much as it requires an army to respect
the purposes of its general in the field.
The Forakers and Masons, the shriek-
ing Congressmen and the yellow jour-
nals are not responsible for the great
issues of peace or war; the President
is. It is easy for them to talk, but he
must think and act. He knows what
the country expects. If he cannot suc-
ceed in one way, we may be sure he
will take the other. Meantime let us
have the decency not to make his task
any harder than it is.

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 that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order. '
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so .
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, 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,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &.
