The yellow journal down New York
way that makes a specialty of prohi-
hntionism recently sent a circular let-
‘3‘;:'.' to 80 New Haven clergymen, says
as Hartford Courant. It asked them
'-.vfi»eti1er they were in favor of a “No
license” campaign in their city this
year, and What would be the attitude
of the churches toward it. Three New
Haven preachers-Poteat, Meyer and
{Tatum-replied in a manner satisfac-
tory and pleasing to the yellow contem-
porary. The wife of another informed
if. that her husband was out of town.
A ifth wrote a non-committal note.
Eire said “No” to the first question.
0‘:: of these, Professor Ladd said: “I
think the recent action of ‘The Howl’
{tf‘lat itn’t its name, and it isn’t what
the profesSor wrote, but Its near
enough) has so alienated and antagon-
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-
thing of the kind.” The other 79
clergymen wouldn’t say their prohi—
bition catechism at all. “The rest of
the preachers of New Haven,” com-
plains the yellow catechist, “either re-
turned our letter unanswered or paid
noattention to the inquiries. Good
for them.

lilie- Moposed Test Call.
The‘situation at Washington and at
Madrid has not materially changed,
says the New Haven Register. It is
still disturbed and the chances con-
tinue to oppose a peaceful settlement of
the controversy. It is semi-officially
declared that the report of the board of
inquiry. charges that the loss of the
Elaine was due to an outside explosion,
but that conspiracy on the part of
wSmin. is not established. This an-
nouncement has been received calmly
because it is just what has been ex-
pected for many days. The silence of
the during these five
weeks, has made it impossible to be-
lieve that had the explosion been an
internal one, the fact of it would have
been suppressed. The people accept
she truth quietly,‘because it furnishes
no pretext yet for war. Official cor-
.respondence must now enter upon its
government,
work of explanation and correction.
In view Of this situation, and the
really Superb conduct of the President,
as well as the danger of unduly excit-
ing a community already broadened
enough by any demonstration not actu-
ally necessary, we may be permitted
to express the hope that the rumored
test call for our local militia will be
ahandoned. 'In ordinary times, such a
test of the readiness of our militia
wrudd have its interest, just as test
fire calls are interesting, but when the
jgsablic mind is in suspense and wonder-
ment usurps the place of fact, it would
in: a grave breach of prudence to arouse
the, community by an experiment
which as a matter of fact has not the
miglltest merit to‘ justify it. If our
regimental commanders are tortured
with the fear that our soldier boys
would not respond quickly to an actual
«unto arms,.they do not know the men
who serve under them. And since
they can be relied upon as much
now, as if a dozen tests had been made,
«or as if the enemy had actually entered
the harbor, the only practical result of
a test call would be to unnecessarily
'mow the city into a condition of‘ ex-
citement and worry.
Astor the general community, not
every one would know that the call
was a test call. As for the militia,
there is not one of them who does not
know just as much about the needs and
demands of the situation as the officers
themselves. When the time comes, if
in. does come, and the bell rings fifteen
. times, the armory will be swarming
with men in quick order. In the Incan-
time, let us have peace.

A LITTLE BOY’S SUIT.
l
3 now In FIND our.
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 kidnevs.
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
cent stamps to cover cost of postage on
the bottle. 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.
