Dee. 17, 1889. T. T. Fortune, Esq., Dear sir: You are aware, no doubt, of the divided sentiment among certain representatives of our race relative to the three color- ed conventions that have been called to meet on three different dates and in three different months and at two different places whicb cannot resu't in much good for the races’ amelioration. ‘The inten~ tions of the movers may be for the good of the race but Iam certain that the result will be damaging, at this time, to our people. Not de- siring to place myself in an antag- onistic attitude, by being a party to any one call, I beg leave to withdraw my name from the call for a convention of Afro~American Leagues to convene at Chicago, Ill., Wednesday morning January 15, 790. Very respectfully, W. Calvin Chase. eS BLAINE AND BAYARD. A|COMPARISON OF TWO STATESMEN —ONE BOLD AND THE OTHER TIMID. Blaine, President, will inaugu- rate a new order of things, more -|the Pacific, under the administra- becoming to the dignity, interests, and aspirations of 60,000,000 of free aud valliant citizens who daily receive ideas, news, iustruction and encouragements from thou- sauds of well edited journals which form the marvelous American press —the first in the world—and which is tor the United Siates the lever of Archimedes. Blaine will infuse vigor, re estab. lish order and independence, in- spire grandeur and patriotism, where now is apathy, disorder and servility, small men and small things and anglo-mania to com- mence at the Department of State, and recall home the many incompe- tent ministers and councils sent abroad to misrepresent the United States, like Italy did for years past but the new reformer, premier Crispi is gradually but rather slow, recalling home the damaging and ridiculous vullities, ministers and councils of Italy in the five(5) parts ot the world. Sic volo sic jubeo stat pro ratione vo’untas. There at the State Department exists no mother idea, there lacks the fundamental conception and in- dependence so indespensible in the direction of the foreign policy of a nation. Blaine ia power he will continue to be the synthesis of all that is American and the anthesis of all that is English, Blaine will never, as Bayard did, allow an American citizen or citizens to be wronged hy foreigh powers as lately happened in Mexico, the fishermen in Cana- da and the foreign~born citizens in Morocco, eveu if the whole power of the government were necessary to carry the point with dignity and honor. Blaine will never recognize any~ thing on land, above the right of the Americans and no law on the sea as superior force to the Ameri can Navy, not the skeleton navy of the present bat the formidable one of the near future. The difference between the bold Blaine and the timid Bayard as Secretary of State, is such as be- tween a fixed star and a satelite, or as between the essence and the matter or as between champagne and lager beer. These are the reasons why, the well thinking Americans and the foreigu-born citizens, like the gal- jantJrishmen, the tacitarn Ger. mans, the brave and keen Italiavs, the chivalrous Spaniards and the impulsive Frenchmen are all solid for Blaine and admire him—there is a great deal in a name. Tue people of the Pacific Slope States who have retained all the good qualities of theirancestors and acquired many others and are the inhabitants wf the most productive regions of the Union, are In favor of Blaine, they bave tried him and did not found him wanting, as @ legislator and as @ Secretary of State. That go-a-head, intelligent patriotic and laboring population of California, Nevada and Oregod has entire confidence in Blaine. San Franciscoe, the queen city of tion of Blaine will not remain de- fenceless and at the mercy of any foreign avy not even China, Japan and Chili, and no nation can wrest from the American flag the suprem- | acy:upon the great Pacific Ocean and from Frisco the monoply of the trade of eastern Asia and of the countless islands of the Pacific. as her geographical position on the western coast of this continent commands. The California delegation to Chi- cago composed of able men and gooi patriots will have a large share of influence in the delibera- tions of the convention and Blaine may rest assured to have in this delegation staunch and powerfal | friends, such as the honorable M. M. Estee, Michael DeYoung, Frank Pixley and others whoare convinced that Mr. Blaine loves the Eldorado | State and the rest of the Union su- | premely and that Blaine has been | the most conspicuous figure of late years in this country, Many ill-informed people think that Blaine is a Roman Catholic. I have conversed with Blaine about the Pope and the Catholic religion, | he (Blaine), spoke with respect of the sovereign Pontiff and the Ro-| man church, but he showed none | of that enthusiasm so characteristic | of the Irish, Germau and Americano Catholics. In concfusion, there 1s no citizen, triend or foe on this broad conti- nent, who does not admit the supe- rior ability of Blaine, and I have the firm couviction that the Ameri: can eagle has not hatched yet a more true and abler Americ in than JAmes GILLESPIE BLatNe OF MatNe CELsO CéisAR MORENO.

Lace handkercheifs, intend to be carried but not used, have sil- ver fles embroidered over them. The new laces are mostly ar- ranged in distinct points, and are very effective when used in trim- mings. The Carrick cape, with a flat boa or stole endingin square tab, a littleabove the knees is verys tashionable in London. Wide white linen cuffs aud col- lara are coming into fashion again. Their popularity rests upon the fact that they are English. White dresses for little girls under five years are considered most tasteful when trimmed with feather stitching and fine tucks. Tartan shoulder capes in triple folds with long square fronts, also triple folded, are prominent among utility short wraps for early tall wraps, A blouse waist which fits the figure perfectly has uumber of fine plaits at the beck, which con» verge at the waist, and also on each side of the front. The col- lar and belt are also tucked in fine rows. Pretty afternoon dresses of cash- mere and coniel’s hair are made very effective by the use of velvet or heavily repped ribbons, these being more favored for such dec- oration moire or fancy ribbons of any sort. Ladies who are ofa sporting turn of mind and who handle the reins themselves are partial to the triple Carrick’or “tour-in-hand” eape. The favorite color for it is a aark navy blue, and a turban or small toque of felt of the same color is worn with it.—Weekly Sentinal.
