Have Ended and Nothing Was
Accomplished.

WARRINGTON, Ian. 3.-It Is not ex-
pected the shipping bill will occupy the

anxious that appropriation bills shall be
over and ready for action by the time the
elections bill struggle Is out of the way,
SO bills can be taken up and disposed Of
as promptly as possible.
The house committee on rules has for
some time had before It Dockery's resolu-
tion asking for an investigation of the
public charges that some Legislators are
interested in the silver pool. 1t has been
understood flom the first that the com.
mittee favors the investigation but so far
no report on the resolution has been
made.
1t is the purpose Of Dockery on Mon
day or Tuesday to offer resolution re-
citing the facts and discharging the com
mittee, that the house may act at once
upon the proposition.
The news that Senator ingalls, started
eastward In response to urgent kilograms
from Senators Edmunds and Hoar was
received with some enthusiasm by the
friends of the election bill IN the sena.e.

Ingalls, intended to remain at Topeka un-
til the legislature had elected his sue
csssor and the republican managers were
very much afraid they would not hav. a

PARNELL AND O'BRIEN.


Their Conferences Have Como to an End
n for the Present.
PARIS, Jan. 3-O'Brien will not resume
his conference with Parnell unless the
proposed negotiations obtain such sane
ton from the leaders of the majority OF
the Irish party as will justify the hope Of
q reunion Of the party. In the meantime
O'Brien declines to state whether in COM
munications passing between hinse I and
Dillon and Mccarthy and others they
promise their approval of further negotia-
tons. The opinion of the Irish group In
this city is unfavorable to the resumption
Of the conference 1t Boulogne-Sur- or.
1t is reported that DavItt has written a
letter to O'Brien not to deal with Parnell,
except as medium to obtain the sur
render of the party's banking account In
Paris, Nine. Rafolvitch, O'Brien's mother
in-law, says O'Brien will not return to
ireland to enter prison leaving the party
feud unhealed. While the rupture lasts,
she says, he can better serve the cause
here or In America.

Good Resolutions for The YG1r.
SsecescseecIxEMasMScesa>cee

Good resolutions are now in ORDER While
many may be broken yet thousands will OBJ
serve them throughout the coming year. The
mere fact that at the close of the old year and
before entering upon the new one, we are en-.
abled to realize that we can make our lives
better and that we feel and know our own
shortcomings are healthful assurances that the
world is growing better by our being in it.
Every one should strive to aim at perfection
Although we never can attain it. yet we attract
others by the good qualities which we display,
and we can onl y retain their good feeling by
the good ones we possess While we are all
missionaries, let us now begin little of the
work with ourselves and start with new re-
solve to better ourselves before we extend our
labor in the direction of others, and very like
y we will not find the world as bad as it is
painted

IT Is POWERLESS.

The action of the nation commit
tee or the executive co Nmittee
with Chimney l. Filley at It's head
thatcOnsidered the mode of electing
delegates in this city will find out
that the national committee has
the power to name the time and
place of holding conventions, but,
it has not the power to elect the
delegates who will represent the
District of Columbia nor will it
have the power to elect president.
For the benefit of Mr.. FlIley of
Missouri who knows no more about
District politics than hog does
about holiday, we want him to
watch the general result of the &C.
tion of his committee.
The republicans of this city will
convince Andy Gleason and his
colleague that the republicans of
this city will elect representative
republicans to the next convention.

men To the front! You are
wanted
We must never be satisfied with
anything short of absolute equal
ity.
This is the beginning of the
dawn of a better day.
Let us embrace and make the
most Of all our opportunities, for
both individual and race develop
ment.
Great things are claimed by its
promoters for the new race organ
izalion TO be farthered at the
meeting at Rev. Robt. Johnson's
church on K street, between 18th
and 18th streets, n. W., Monday
night, Nov. 80. The BEE would
advise all of its readers to come
out On that occasion and if these
gentlemen have found a panacea
for our ills let's hear it quick.
We can't all be professional
men and women, we must force
down the bars that keep US out of
the avenue OF business, and walk
abroad there or elsewhere.
We must stand by each other,
and hold each other up in business
Iu no other way can we build up
our own class.
The success of one colored man
is the success of us all.
No man white or colored should
ever forget the rock from which
be was hewn or the rounds of the
ladder upon which he climbed. No
matter how learned, or how rich,
pr how polished, or how religious
you are, you are a Negro still.
This is because the status of
lass to which a man belongs
lxes his status in the body polite.
Iet US ali, concentrate our efforts
o improve the class TO which we
'elong. Let US patronize our
'wn, and encourage stores kept by
white men to employ US as clerks,
y giving them our patronage.
Think before you buy.
We need a good race interest.

While much uncertainty still exists as
to the terms of the Bering Sea arbitra.
ton, it is thought the president of the
Swiss republic will be appointed arbitra.
tor. and will act alone.
Switzerland is not a maritime country
and could not for that reason have any
interest, either present or future. in the
seal fisheries of Bering Sea. On the
other hand, if three arbitratOrs be chosen
they will consist of jurists learned in the
intricacies of international law. One
will be an American, one a British sub
ject, the third to be selected by the other
TWO. 1t is difficult to say which of these
courses will be pursued in view of the
general reticence surrounding the matter,

WORK OF THE NATIONAL
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. CLARKSoN OF Iowa CHOSEN
CHAIRMAN!
Minneapolis June Z, '92

--SUHOilo y uuV - OS,
The work of the committee
doubtless will commend itself tC
the Negro voters of the country 10
electing it's chairman; for, III the
person of Hon. J. s. Clarkson, No
better friend of the colored man
could have been found anywhere
in the Union or out of ii! Wher.
ever be has travelled in the United
States, North, South, East or
West, IN interviews or otherwise,
has freely expressed himself as to
the capabllity of the black citi-
Zen. aud in every instance Mr..
Clarkson would always show his
belief III the fealty of the Negro,
and faith In him as a man.
The BEE has the belief that an
aggressive plan of campaign will
be laid out by the chairman of the
Executive Committee, which, if
adopted by the convention at
Minneapolis, will be an indispen-
sible adjunct of q successful cam.
pslgn; and, believing the con.
vention will entrust the conduct
of the political battle which will
then and there be inaugurated
between the great parties,-an un-
swerving friend of justice and
humanity ike Mr.. Clarkson, will
be of more power than any other
we know of iu bringing success to
the Republican party! Many may
question the position of the BEE
as to the Hon. j. s. CIarkson as
commander-in-chief of the forces
to be marchalled next year by the
protectionists, being more feasible
and more likely to bring about
successful results than any other
known leader? 1t is with conf
dence and pride, we answer, "He
is a true friend of the despised
Negro, and under bis generalship
we believe the battle cry of Gus

FASHION NOTES.

A charming costume is of camePs
hair cloth with black figure made
princess.
Black lace as a dress trimming
shows no sign of unDOpularity for
evening dress.
Crepon makes a beautiful tea
gown. The front of the skirt may
be cut as severely plain as the
skirts of our most approved walk
ing dresses.
A novelty is Ombre stripes of
very feecy wool on cloth ground,
to be combined with smooth faced
cloth in handsome tailor gowns.
Handsome shades of green and
brown are the very popular cOlors
of the season
Artistic touches of scarlet tighten
costumes of black for both house
and street wear.
Jacket and skirt in terra Gotta
homespun, embellished with black
braid or velvet ribbon of different
widths makes pretty costume.
In Paris, yellow has the prefer
ence over almost all other cOlOrs.
Fine white serge, white cameFs
hair and white cloth are the lead.
ing material for daylight recep-
tiOns.
The chamOls crowns, as also vel
velt crowns, show a use of yellow
effects, both in carriage hats and
those for evening wear.
Pink, blue, mauve, and cream
white india silk null over surah |
OF the same tint is a favOrIte ma
terial for young ladies evening |
dresses.
A novelty among bOdices has
the back short and round at the
waist line, with the fronts falling
long and square cOrnered in what
is called mantilla fronts.
Marie Antoinette sleeves are in
great favor for gowns, both for
day and evening wear.
Velvet striped silks, and those
Oordered with raised velvet figures
are much used for house dresses
made with plain skirts and pointed
1odices.

NATIONAL COMMITTEE
CALL.

In another column of this pa
per will be seen the call of the
National Committee. This call
reduces aud obolishes the old
Central Committee and also re-
duces that organization. from sc
to % members. This is Just
what we advocated before and we
are pleased to know that the ma
tlonal committee adopted our
suggestion. The call further
states that we shall convene at
Z o'clock on the first Tuesday in
January '92, and elect a new Gen.
tral committee. This was sug-
gested by Major Davis, The pres
ent chairman of our committee.
MIR. Clarkson's call does not say
that the delegates to the District
convention shall not be elected at
primary elections. The member
of the national committee for the
District of Columbia is only au,
tborlzed to sign the call for the
new central committee and that
must be done ten days before the
first Tuesday in January '92.
Major Davis, under the consti-
tuition of the central committee
calls the committee to order and
acts as presiding officer until a
new chairman is elected.
