An Alleged Temperance Organ.
That alleged temperance Organ, “The
'E'oice,” which recently made an attack
"an Yale university and the people -of
'Nn:-,w.:£~IzL\'en, has again put on its war
‘qoiut and disgraces itself by using the
most intemperate language toward an-
other. great university and the people
tot-the. city where it is located, says the
Ansonia. 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
er. \tors and owners of the paper for
" d...mages, aggregating so far $200,000,
‘5". 1th several more to come. It is a
pity that men who are so strong in a
tight against intemperance should be
so intemperate themselves. Temper-
ance 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 unis
”S'GPSILLGS is making no friends for the
temperance cause.

The Situation.
During the next two months a deal
'ef history is tolerably certain to be
made. Things are converging to a cri-
sis and whether that crisis will make
for peace or for war is still a specu-
lative question. Folks who run down
to Washington and spend a few days
(in the heated-atmosphere of the capital
come away with the conviction that
HD0103 Samuel will have an Opportunity
to put on his regimentals in a few
"weeks, says the Waterbury Republican.
Two conditions tend to make the situa-
lion, critical and» may lead up to war.
1. The Maine question. The belief
at “Washington and in the navy is to the .
effect that the court of inquiry will re-
port that the wreck of the Maine was
directly due to outside assault, although
upon what other basis than abstract
(conjecture this belief rests it is difficult
to tell. But if that opinion should be
confirmed by subsequent developments
Then the United States will look to
Spain for a. disavowal and adequate
-- reparation. If Spain declines to do
abese reasonable things this govern-
ment might feel compelled to take
Spain by the ear and teach her a les-
son in manners. That would probably
be equivalent to a scrap. But we don’t
Relieve that the setting hen of events
will hatch a war out of. the Maine dis-
Ester.
2.. The Cuban warn-«In his annual
message to Congress in December Pres-
adept McKinley had a few things to say
about the insurgent revolution which
has been in progress three years. He
raid that the new Spanish ministry
whieh had recently taken the oath of
.ofiice should have a reasonable time to
nest its new Cuban policy and to deter—
mine Its ability to bring order out of
the Cuban chaos. But if Spain didn’t
suppress the war within a reasonable
period the president intimated that it
might be his melancholy duty to step
in and insist on peace. He Wished to
give Spain fair warning that the Unit-
:ed States couldn’t allow the atrocities
:md heart-groans and empty Stomachs
uncontinue in Cuba'for ever and aye.
in other words, if Spain couldn’t put
The rebellion to sleep the UnitedStates,
upon the broad grounds of humanity,
would have to administer an opiate.
Itut if the United States decides up-
..m-Cuban intervention Spain may de-
ride. upon a fight. In our opinion there
am: more high explosives in the Cuban
'Irar than in the Maine wreck.

A curious thing about the present

in arranging it has generally been
given the greatest amount of attention.
Church-going is bound to have its

he quickly discerns her faults when

The mania for “collecting” some-

Persous take infinitely more interest
in the doings of others of whom they
can only get occasional‘peeps through
the curtained windows than they ever
do when the same line of conduct goes
on in public View.
To appreciate how much nicer the
American baby has it than infants of
other nations, one has only to compare
the luxurious “coaches” of our little
folks with the cumbersome affairs
deemed so elegant abroad.

DR. LYMAN BEEOHER’S HABITS.
'Jis Peculiar Way of Making Notes for
His Sermons.
Dr. Lyman Beecher’s peculiar hab-
-fs. shown by his method of prepar-
ng sermons, are illustrated in Annie
:‘ield‘s latest book, “The Life and Let-
Eers of Harriet Beecher Stowe.” In
{101' words:
“If he was to preach in the evening
:9 was to be seen all day talking with
whoever would talk, accessible to all,
[all of everybody’s atfairs, business,
and burdens, till an hour or two be-
Fore the time, when he would rush up

ferred should be the topmost room of
the house). and throwing off his coat,

bells to settle the balance of his mus-
cles. he. would sit down and dash

paper. about as big as the palm of

ring and still he would write. They
would tell loud and long. and his wife
would say. ‘He will certainly be late.’
lllll then would be running-up and
lawn stairs of messengers to see that
he was finished, till. jusr as the last
stroke of the bell was dying away, he

Amuu me face on Silver Dollars.
A leading authority on American cu.

Anna \‘v'. Williams is the name of the
lady whose profile is stamped upon the
Bland silver dollar. “'hen the de-

to make a design for a new dollar. He

Fill a bottle or common glass with
; urine and let it stand twenty-four
; hours; a sediment or settling indicates
i an unhealthy condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
' of kidney trouble. T00 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-
