RAINBOW OF PROMISE.
Resolutions Adopted by the Seventh
District Republicans in Con-
Vention.

The following are the resolutions of
the Seventh district congressional con-
vention:
.'The Republicans of the Seventh dis
trict of Kansas renew their allegiance
to the party which upholdS the nation s
credit and the nations honor at all
times and under all circumstances, and
reaffirm the principles enunciated in
the platform of 1896, verified and vindi-
Gated as they have been since set forth
at the st. Louis convention.
We are willing and anxious to go be-
fore the people of the Seventh district
upon the evidence of the events of the
last two years. In 1885, the Republican
party made promises to the people of
that would follow. We stand upon the
record; every promise fulfilled; every
pledge redeemed; every prediction YER
flied. We contrast this result with the
failure of the opposition to keep a
single one of it's promises and the fail
ure of the course of events to justify
a single one of its claims or assertions
With the more perfect understanding
of the questions at issue which has
been gained by experience, and the
change of the questions from a mere
study of theories to an examination of
results, we are ready and anxious to
appeal from the verdict rendered in
this district two years ago against US,
confding in the justice, honesty and
"Reminiscences of the people for re-
versal.
1--WE stand, now, upon the record of
the Republican party. and not it's prom
ises, for we point with pride to the fact
that every promise made by the ST.
Louis platform is now written as a law
on the statute books of the nation.
"A condition has arisen which is
above and beyond partisanship: The
honor of our country and the demands
of humanity have forced the United
States to intervene in behalf of the
oppressed and suffering people of Cuba,
and war now exists between freedom
and slavery; between civilization and
barbarism; between the United States
and Spain. We rejoice in the patriot
ism, the manhood and the statesman
ship of our president, William McKin-
ley, and we believe and trust that at
this time, he will have the loyal, I'M
swerving support of every true Ameri-
can. We pledge to him, our sympathy
and help, and we pledge to the people
of the Seventh congressional district
that the nominee of this convention
will uphold and support by voice and
vote, the president of the United States
and every measure to insure the sue
cess of our glorious army and victor
ious navy, and the triumph of our old
flag which is the rainbow of promise
for the people of the earth

CUBAN SUPPLIES RELEASED.
They Have Been Held by the Gov
eminent Since January, 1896.

New York, May THE steamer Ber-
muda, carrying a large flibustering ex-
petition and cargo of stores and am
munition for Cubans under command
of Gen. Calixto GaFcia, was seized in
this harbor in January, 1896. The stores
and ammunition on board the Bermuda
were held by the government of the
United States and have since been in
charge of the quartermaster at Gov
ernor's island and the department of the
combustibIes in this city. These have
now been ordered released by United
States Attorney General Griggs, and
will be sent at once to Tampa, Fla,
whence they will be forwarded to Cuba.
The seized articles consist of 500, 900
rounds of rifle cartridges, 800 pounds
of dynamite, several cases of revolver
cartridges and a quantity of small arms
The suit which has been pending in
the United States district court here
against the Cuban junta and L. J. c.
Espin, for whom the stores were pur-
chased, has been discontinued by order
of the attorney general at the request
of Secretary Alger.

a Place Should Be Made for at Least
One Colored Company.

The colored people of Topeka think
that they have been sighted in the en-
lstment of volunteer soldiers as no pro-
vision has been made for a single COM
pany.
Councilman Roundtree says that a
protest will soon be presented to Gov
ernOr Leedy with a request that at
least one colored company be given a
place. In speaking of the omission of
colored troops from the quota Council
man Roundtree said: I'VE do not think
that we have been treated fairly. If
we have any country on earth it is this
and think we should be given an OPP
portunity to fight for it. There are
hundreds of colored people anxious to
go and the only thing we ask is the op-
portunity. I do not know why we have
been ignored"
One colored company was partially
organized in Topeka but nothing has
been done to perfect the organization
since it became evident that coIored
troops would not be enlisted.

WHAT IS YOUR TRADE?
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
Special Disease.

1t is we'll known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily
developed in certain OCCUPATIONS than
in others. That each occupation has
its attending physical weakness. En-
gineers railroad men and similar Occu-
pations suffer mostly from kidney trou-
bles and men who are often exposed to
the weather suffer from rheumatism,
while clerks and professional men, in
fact, the army of people whose business
keeps them indoors, are oftentimes
great sufferers from piles and conSt1-
patton. In this connection the follow
ing letter is of interest to people whose
occupation will not allow sufficient out
door exercise.
Mr. A. F. Calhoun, notary public and
jewe1er and matchmaker of Circleville,
w. Va, writes as follows:
I had been a severe sufferer from
piles for years and had tried many rem
edies but with little benefit, when about
three years ago 1 saw the Pyramid Pile
Cure advertised and sent for it.
1 was badly afflicted when I got it, but
after only two applications the piles
iSappeared and from that day to this
I have never felt symptom of the dis
ease.
I feel that l. cannot recommend it too
highly to sufferers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poisons,
absolutely safe, pleasant and painless;
age. If there is any constipa ton the
Pyramid Pills should be used with
the pile cure. The pills are % cents per
package.
Any druggist will tell you that the

placed on the market and it's reputation
as safe and radical cure has only

CAN'T ELECT LONG.
A. w. Smith Says That the Nomina
ton is a PARTY Mistake

Commenting upon the nomination of
Chester 1. Long in the Seventh district, of
which he is a resident, 4. w. Smith of
Mcpherson said today:
Mr.. Long. may be elected, but I doubt
it. He is decidedly the most unpopular
nominee the Seventh district has been
compelled to swallow in many years.
There is a general feeling, although it is
not publicly expressed, that Mr.. Long will
be defeated by Jerry Simpson. 1 know
of lots Of Republicans who would not be
sorry were such the result at the polls.
There is some satisfaction for Longs
enemies in the fact that unless he is elect
ed this time he will be forever relega ted
to the rear as dead timber after next No
vember. The chances are, in my opinion,
that the latter condition is very likely to
exist"
