"COON" SONGS.

Lyrics of Foremost Colored Literary Man
of Today.
There was born in Dayton o. in
1872, a colored boy, destined before he
reached 80 years of age to have made
for himself a world wide reputation.
That boy was Paul Laurence Dunbar,
the polished man of letters the bril-
liant poet the fascinating dialect song
writer and the foremost colored liter
airy man of the age. All in the space
of eight short years Mr.. Dunbar
climbed the ladder of fame from the
deepest obscurity to his present height.
He was the child of slave parents; was
educated in the public schools of Day
ton, receiving as good an education as
most boys in his circumstances would
have received. For some months after
he finished his schooling he worked as
an elevator boy. But during this period
his literary bent was gathering
strength of purpose, and being per-
fected. In his hours, more likely min
utes of rest, in the elevator he was
continually scribbling verses on scraps
of paper. These scraps he gave to his
mother with the injunction not to de-
stroy them. This was the beginning;
his present success every one knows,
and the end-well, there is a brilliant
future before him. 1t is in connection
with coon" songs. however, that Mr..
Dunbar is best known. Probably there
Is no more popular writer Of these de-
Ightful dialect songs than he. Ger
tainly, his lyrics have been accorded an
unwonted popularity and great sales
Uncle Eph's Christmas" which is to
be presented at Boston Music Hall
this week, contains some OF his most
tuneful coon" songs. In fact, the
libretto Of Uncle Eph's Christmas"
was written by Mr.. Dunbar. Will
Marion Cook. who has assisted Mr.
Dunbar before by writing the music
for his songs, is the composer of the
music in Uncle Eph's Christmas"

CHlNA's QUICK REPLY.
The Terms of the Agreement
Have all Been Carried OUT
Powers are Satisfied.

Pekin, Feb. 24-The full text of the
imperial edict regarding punishmeuts
was sent last evening to the ministers of
the powers. 1t is identical with the un-
official report of the edict cabled to the
Associated Press.
The japanese we're requested to deliver
Yipg Men and Chau Shu Chiao in order
that their sentences might be executed
today in conformity with the edict, but
the Japanese considered tie notice too
short and have delayed the enforcement
OF the punishment until Tuesday.
A guard will be kept over the men to
prevent suicide or escape.
When official confirmation, duly certi-
fed by high officers of state, OF the sen
tences of death upon the others shall
have been received, and these two have
been executed, China will have practic-
ally complied with the terms demanded
by the powers.
The ministers of the powers regard the
punishment edict as satisfactory.

Michael Davitt is an Irish politician
who has won a good deal Of regard on
the part of the American people by his
good sense and by the appeal which his
labors and sacrifices have made to those
who sympathize with all movements look
ing to the betterment of the lot of the
common people. His latest utterance
touching ireland and the political con-
Germs of its people will not tend to pro-
mote the prevailing idea of his good
sense.
Mr.. Davltt, discussing political affairs
in Ireland, in connection with the pre-
vailing exodus of young Irish men and
women from that country to this, is re-
ported as saying:
eff there is to be a future for ireland
we must find means to stop the emgra-
ton of Irishmen to this country. At the
very time when cur young people are best
prepared to render yeoman service to
their native land they desert it for Amer
lea where greater liberty and advantages
are offered them. Unless this movement
is stopped there will soon be no Irish to
free from the yoke of England. We like
the United States at home but not to the
extent of making 1t a present of the best
blood of our own country."
We give the entire current extract of
Mr.. Davitt's statement because it seems
to US to embody so much that is unbound
ed in conclusion and false in state
ment. He says in effect that the
present political movement in Ireland
must be abandoned because there will
be no Irish to carry it on, unless the
prevailing emigration stops. He also COM
mits himself to the proposition that the
emigration now in progress will result
In draining the country of 'its best
blood, and is accordingly a great public
disaster.
No one but the thoughtless and extreme
viii agree with any such view. It is a
good thing for Ireland and the Irish peo-
pie that so many of them are coming
here. The best blood of Ireland was
drained many times by entirely different

SUIT AGAINST DIRECTORS.
Seventh National Bank Officers Are
Charged With Violation of Law.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA summons
was served today in another suit against
the directors of the Seventh National
bank. The plaintiff is a man named
Hoffman, who seeks $1,50O damages for
loss sustained by him through the sus-
pension of payment by the bank, and he
seeks to hold the directors liable because
of their alleged violation of the national
bank act in loaning Marquand & Co..
$1,GO0,000, sum in excess of the bank s
paid-in capital.
MIR. Hoffman alleges in his complaint
that on June he bought stocks through
q brokerage firm, and that on June rs
his brokefs demanded more margin,
which he furnished in a check on the
Seventh National bank for $500, sending
this to the brokers at 2:3O p. M When
the check was presented for payment the
next morning the bank had suspended
payment, and owing to his money de-
posted in the bank, $500, being tied up
by the suspension, he was unable to fur
nish other margin and his brokers sold
the stocks at a loss to him of 1854
which involved further losses, for which
he seeks 1880 damages.

POSSIBLE GOOD OCT OF EVIL.

The warning embodied in the decision
board of county commissioners in COM
promising claims on behalf of the county
which have been brought to suit will
probably be needed. 1t certainly was
frequent occasion to issue words OF warn
ing and protest in connection with the
official acts of this body, and they have
not always fallen on fruitful soil. But
constant repetition will doubtless
have the traditional result of the
dropping of water. The stone of insensi-
bility which may be taken to typify the
official sense Of responsibility Of this body
must sooner or later give way to the
constant pressure upon it from above.
The board of county commissioners of
Ramsey county is a political and official
anomaly. 1t has continued to discharge
for years the three-fold function of coun-
ty legislature, executive and judiciary. 1t
is hopeless nlakeshift, devised to main
where government is unnecessary. With
a city and county of almost coterminous
limits the idea of maintaining a dual syss
tenn of local government simply involves
the continued fleeing of the unhappy
taxpayers for the gain of the governing
classes, which with us are the gentlemen
who have been devoting their energies to
the running of primaries and conventions.
We have seen the movement urged,
in a faint-hearted way from time
to time for the merger of city and county
governmental institutions; but nothing
has ever come of the movement, and
nothing will until such bodies as the
board of county commissioners, by the
constant object lessons which they fur
nsh of their utter unf1tness for the gov
erning function, drive the people to the
adoption of the only effective remedy
that of their abolition.
If the scandals which have sprung so
fruitfully from the existing administra-
ton of affairs in this county should even
tuate in giving vigor to the movement
for the abolition of the dual system of
city and county government in this COM
munity, the people would indeed have
reason to be thankful to the Republican
politicians who have of late monopolized
the public attention to such an extent.
