ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action OF
the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause Of bladder troubles.
So the womb, like the bladder, was Great
ed for one purpose, and it not dOctOred
too much is not liable to weakness or dis
ease, except in rare cases. 1t is situated
back of and very close to the bladder,
therefore any disease pain, disease Or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinay passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set your
urine aside for twenty-fo,lr hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or blad-
der trouble. The mild and the extraOr-
binary effect of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp

To ANYONE acquainted with the
valatile character of the French peo-
pie, their pronounced sympathy with
Spain and animosity toward the United
States, on account Of the Cuban
troubles, are not surprising. The feel
ing is undoubtedly greatly intensified by
the vindictive utterances of the leading
Paris papers which are said to be con-
trolled by the French holders of Span
ish bonds. The French populace, airy,
tickle and easily aroused, is a very I'M
certain element at all times. A writer
in an eastern journal very ably says
that "France has been for a long period,
and doubtless will remain to the end of
time, a curiosity. In no other country
have there been expressed more ad-
vanced opinions, mingled with more
conservative practice. The Partisan
philosopher doubtless has embraced the
latest ideas. The wooden-shod French
peasants head is as hard as his feet.
and he has not changed since Caesar
decided that Gaul was divided into
three parts. Few people travel less to
foreign countries; few learn less from
travellers who visit their own. No
other people in Europe started out so
early in the pursuit of free institutions,
and no other people have INDUCED so
frantically in the work of destroying
them when attained"

WHO WILL DO THE FIGHTING !

War has begun. The United States
has interviewed by force of arms to put
an end to the inhuman and intolerable
conditions i'm Cuba and free "The Gem
of the Antilles" and its people from
Spanish tyranny and misrule. 1t is
not the time for either rejoicing or la
mentation, except for lamenting the
manifest necessity for such course as
our government has felt bound to enter
upon, with the full approval of the
people. Under any aid all clrcum-
stances war is terrible evil and is
justifiable only when the evil is less
than longer sufferance of the condl-
tions which give rise to it. We cam
not rejoice that thousands of young
Americans may now be on their way
to death in a cause which concerns
neither the safety nor the integrity OF
their country; that thousands of homes
may be desolated, thousands of wives
made widows and their children made
fatherless, and that hundreds of mil
lions of dollars may be added to the
debt of the nation, which the people
must pay. But we can rejoice that we
belong to a nation which has the power
and the will to make the Cuban cause
its cause, not for greed of conquest, but
for the glory of humanity. But who
will do the fighting? We agree with
the Kansas City Star that it will not be
"the men in congress who are clamor-
ing for war, not for the sake of the
honor of the United States or of the
freedom of Cuba, but with the idea
that some partisan advantage is to be
gained by screaming. They will stay
at home and pick up what there is 10
be made in politics.
1.-The people who are abusing Presi-
dent Mckinley because he does not
favor war without necessity, will not
volunteer. They will not face the IA
tigues of the march, the perils of the
fever, the wasting away of the battles
crumbling edge. They will stay at
home, and few months after the war
has gone on, with, it may be, varying
fortune, they will be opposing the fur
ther prosecution of the unnatural
strifen and moving committees to in
vestigate the policy of the administra-
ton.
"The army of trif'ers, the people who
hang up effigies of dark nights and
who sing topical songs in the theater
and who applaud such-they will not
volunteer That sort never volunteer;
they are drafted. Unless their plans
are interfered with, they will hold the
interior towns of the United States, or
possibly the frontier of Canada, until
the troubles are over.
"The Americans, native and adopt
ed, who will fight the war out and
through are the men who do not want
war. They do not belong to the class
who fear nothing. for the reason that
they know nothing. The sober second
thought men are the men who will
bear the brunt of the fighting. These,
when the fellows who are now frantic
and full of noise, are lying covering
and quiet in the darkened retirement
of their remote homes, will be "dolng
and dying" for honor and liberty and
the flag of the free"
