The War Clouds Thicken.
Hence now appears to be only very
: :motely possible; war seems almost
inevitable. The resolution adopt-ed by
the House defining the attitude of this
government on the issue with Spain,
is needlessly mandatory, and to that
extent is a hindrance to peace. The
resolutions reported to the Senate are,
in plain English, a declaration of war
against- Spain, says the Philadelphia
Times.
If. the Senate shall adopt the resolu-
tion passed by the House by nearly a
unanimous vote, or if in committee of
conference, a resolution shall be agreed
upon eliminating the needleSSly- ofi’cn-
sive features of the Senate’s deliver-
ance, there would yet be a possibility
of peace. The President would be free
i.p'elr'ermse his discretion in exhausting
'4 diplomatic efforts to accomplish by
peace, what he must enforce by war if
grefused. With the Senate resolutions
'as his guide, he could only demand
the, summary and unconditional removal
of the Spanish troops from Cuba and
the absolute surrender of Spanish
sovereignty on the island.
'While the war clouds are now thick-
suing upon us and none of us can fore-
see just how peace can be maintained,
we are unwilling to accept war as ab-
Solutely inevitable. In this evening of
' the nineteenth century, with all the
, teachings of the grandest civilization
. the World has ever-known, to'plead for.
peace, we can not accept war until it
shall have been proclaimed from the.
cannon’s. mouth. 'All the great powers
are interested in maintaining peace,~
_ and the’medition'will doubtless. be ex-j
.- hausted to avert a war that might lead

them was reminded of the fact that
mess.
The reason why so many women fail
because they insist upon pinning their
collars instead of using the masculine
buttons that produce the right effect.
The woman who loudly boasts of her
' ility to successfully play men against
fin generally gets up against another
_ woman at some time or other who is
able to beat her at her own game.
Weak-Hearted Mall Boy.
“Congressman Sulloway, of New
Hampshire, tells a. good one when he
gets warmed on the civil service ques-
tion," said one of the statesmen who
came to help the Michigan Club to cel-
ebrate Washington’s birthday. “Some-
where in the, South a. bright colored
boy appeared before the commission
,to be examined for the position of let-
ter carrier. '
“ ‘How far is it from the earth to the
moon?’ was the first question asked by
those who were to determine the young
man’s fitness for the place he sought.
“ ‘How fah am it from de earf to de
moon?’ echoed the applicant. ‘My gra-
cious, boss, of yo'u's gwine to put me
on dat route I don’t want de job.’ "
A pessimist would be afraid to get to‘
heaven for fear his crown wouldn't fit.

.ch TO 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 kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or .painin: the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and.
bladder are out of order.
