The Threat of War.
, The relations between our govern-
:llnl‘ut and Spain have been seriously
strained during the last year, and it
tlelé not be doubted that the loss of our
, great battleship in the Havana harbor
is likely to intensify {the war feeling
on both sides. TheEPresident has very
properly given notice that until there.
shall be conclusive evidence to the con—
trary, he must accept the loss of the
battleship Maine as due to accident.
He could not assume any other position
and command the respect of the coun-
try or of the civilized nations of the
'-‘~vorl’d',_says the Philadelphia Times. c,
There are two causes, each potent in
itself, which are a constant menace to
the peace of the two nations. One is
the. intense popular prejudice cherish-
ed in each country against the other.
There is always peril to the peace of
nations. when a popular sentiment
cfamorsr‘or war. It matters not how
unfounded or well founded the- clamor
for war may be. there is always danger
of war when public sentiment favors it.
The people of the United States have
he sympathy with Spain and profound-
ly. detest her fiendish policy in Cuba.
The people of Spain are wildly pre-
judiced against the United States; are
implacable in their hostility to the Slll'-
render of Cuban independence, and
Spain, although a despotic government
mas-amenable to popular clamor as is
the popular government of this coun-
try- ' .
The other men toe to the peace of the
"two countries is the absolute inability
of’tfle Spanish crown to maintain itself
if Cuba shall attain her independence.
The day thatSpain may be compelled
inaccept the independence of Cuba
would surely- 'prccipitate a revolution
hiyathe Spanish people, and destroy the
ruling dynasty. Considering that
Spain demonstrated to the world her
reaction, is is evident that Spain must
findsome new inspiration to make the
people sustain the crown, andr that can
be done only by a war with the United
States. Such a war would be immense-
ly. popular with the Spanish people, _
and it would enable the Spanish gov-
ernment, in a treaty of peace with the
United States, to assent to Cuban in-
dependence upon the payment to Spain
eta reasonable compensation.
These two causes are the great obsta-
cles to the dispassionate and fair adjust-
ment of the complications which may
arise from the loss of the battleship
Maine. Even though it shall be demon-
Strated that the explosiOn occurred
within the vessel, there will be a very
general belief throughout the} country
that in some way the vessel-was destroy-
ed by persons acting in the interest Of
the Spanish government; and if it shall
be. shown that the’vessel was destrOyed
by. an outside torpedo, it would tax the
powers of diplomacy to the uttermost
to maintain peace between the two na-
tions. Indeed, if such a condition
should be presented it would be next
’50 an impossibility to prevent war be-
tween the two countries.
It is the plain duty of the President
wetland resolutely against aj'war with
Spain until he can no longer resist it
consistently with the-honor of the Re-
public. Our government has 'been re-
- miss. in not grantingibelligerent rights
to the Cubans and in not enforcing the
humanities of war on both sides. Those
antics should have been performed,
aim if Spain made such eflorts {of this
:gOVQIlannt a cause for war, we could
lolly accept it, and meet the " issue as
"V this government has met everyllike is-
;inability to conquer the Cuban insur- " wiped his glasses, “I’m afraid John’s
l
shall come it must- come by the act of
Spain; but the fact that Spain seems
desirous of war should not make our
government swerve a hair’s breadth
from the line of duty to the enlightened
civilization of the age. Let us avoid
war if it can be done in justice to our
great gov ernment, but if war must
come we shall be prepared to meet it.

FEMININE CHAT.
The afternoon tea sandwich is a com-
bination of mystery and indigestion.
Riches improve few men. Of too
many they make sour, disagreeable in-
dividuals, who think everybody cares
for them only for their money.
A woman is always furious when a.
man suggests that she is playing a lit-
tle “game.” Yet she is delighted if
he deems her a champion at whist or
euchre.
The man ‘who declares himself im-
pervious to cold and goes trapsing
about without an overcoat. these days
will be nestling under a grassy bed
next summer “if he don’t watch out.”
If a woman keeps her temper when
she is playing cards it is a pretty good
sign either that she is winning or that
she will be able to put up cheerfully
with all sorts of trials and hardships.
If women would only endeavor to
discover the weak points in their per-
Sonal appearance and then make every
effort to hide them there would be
many better locking feminines roaming
about.
Suspicion degrades two people.
A gown that is well lined is well
made.
The man who is always chattering
about being self-made never ceases to
praise his maker.
It doesn’t follow that because a man
has invested in an opera chapeau that
he has bought- a spring hat.
Every well-gowned woman carries a.
half piece of silk concealed about her
person. This means in her petticoats,
skirt and jacket lining.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
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 everywish 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
ctfectof 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. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamr-On, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.
