Gen. Porter Thinks the Difficulties with
Spain Can be Settled.

London, March 1S.-The Morning
Leader today publishes dispatch from
Paris giving interviews which its cor
respondent is said to have had with the
United states ambassador Gen. Horace
Porter, the secretary of the embassy:
Mr. Henry Vignaud and United states
Consul General Mr.. j. X. Gowdy. The
ambassador referred to the Maine dis
aster, eulogized President McKinley's
attitude and is quoted as saying that in
spite of the sensational atmosphere, the
United States, will not rush into war
although the Maine report may prove
to be the last straw.
The secretary of the United States
embassy said: There Will be no war.
because the feelings OF both countries
are that all the difficulties can be set
tied. There is not an American in Paris
who does not applaud the attitude of
President Mckinley, using every ex-
pedient before resorting to war"
The consr! general said. 1.-THE real
heart and soul have not yet been heard.
The surface talk which causes the col
lapse of stocks does not merit serious
attention. Unless / am greatly mistaken
our troubles with Spain will shortly be
ended"

Vote Early and Straight.

The election is upon us again. Let
every colored voter be at the polls early
next Tuesday and vote himself, then
set about to get some neighbor to vote,
get his vote in and keep this up all day
till the polls close. If every colored
voter will do his duty the victory won
will be glorious and complete Vote
the ticket of the republican party
straight from top to bottom. Never a
more important election. Colored vot-
ers of Wichita and Sedgwick county,
will you allow yourselves to be hooded
and sold out for lucre, or will you as
sert your manhood, vote your princi-
pies and endorse the party that knows
and does things? We want this Kan
sas election to be SO strong for the re-
nublicans that it will be message tc
President Mckinley that this nation
appreciates an upright ruler and viii
stand by him through thick and thin.
That is the issue, whether we will sup
port Mckinley by voting the republi.
can ticket or whether we will turn him

Editor Tribune:-You will please say
through the columns of your spicy race
journal, that no man or set of men can
sell the colored vote of Miami county,
or lead 1T int to the ranks of the populist
party. The colored men in this coun-
ty know their friends and will on cleo
tion day give good account of them
selves by voting for republicans from
w. E. Stanley to the last nominee on
the ticket. Isn't that good enough?
I am not the champion of the cause of
Rev. R. ?. Banks in the Taylor Riddle
affair, but Rev Banks has through the
columns of the Kansas City Journal
and local press, denied trying to lead
his church followers into the demo
pop fold. He is enthusiastically sup
porting the republican ticket. Miami
county colored men were never more
united and loyal to the great prjnci-
pies and doctrines of the republican
party than they are to-day. We are
with you in your gallant fight to rid
our magnificent commonwealth OF the
misrule, calamity and disgrace brought
upon it by the pops Itis earnestly
hoped that not single colored man
will cast vote against Hon. Chester
|. Long in the big seventh congression-
al district. Long is we'll and favora-
bly known in our county and is one OF
the best and one of the ablest men in
the state. Yours for republican sue

IT SHALL BE SATISFIED"

After the toll and turmoil
And the anguish OF trust belied,
After the burden of weary cares,
Baffied longings, ungranted prayers;
After the passion and fever and fret,
After the aching of vain regret,
After the hurry and heat of strife,
The yearning and tossing that men can
''life;''
Faith that mocks, and fair hopes
denied,

When the golden bowl is broken
At the sunny fountain side;
When the turf lies green and cold

Wrong and sorrow and loss and love;
When the great dumb walls of silence

At the doors of the undiscovered land;
When all we have left i'll our golden

Is an empty chair and a pictured face;
When the prayer is ended and the sigh
