since Paul Laurence Dunbar attract ed the attention of the literary world. MT. McGirt writes both in English and in dialect, and while he is good in both, ther is a simplicity and tenderness in the latter form that S peculiarly charm ing. "When the Sun Shines Hot" is characteristic of his style and senti- ment:
 No, dere ain't no use CT workin' in de
 blazin' summertime. Whin de fruit hab filled de orchard an de burdens. bend de vine; Dere's enuf terA keep us libin' in de
 little gyarden spot, An der ain't no use,n worBin' wen de

 That many time my weary feet
 would bleed; They said at last I'd find my way was barred; I would not heed. They bade me stop and go the other
 way:
 This path. they said. Fate thorns
 and missiles strew; But I was young, Ambition led the
 way; I thought I knew. But when my bleeding feet came to

 And I was bound and scourged by

 It was too late.

THE POWER OF THE NATIONAL
 COMMITTEE.

There seems to be a misunderstand- ing as to the relation of the republican national committee to contesting and contested delegations. It is commonly understood that it is a part of the business of the committee to decide contests whereas according to the rule of republican conventions the commit tee is not supposed finally to pass up on the merits of such controversies. All that is done by the committee on credentials appointed under the tenn porary organization.
 The national committee, however, may greatly influence the settlement of a contest by the exercise of one of the powers that belongs to it. The committee makes up the temporary roll of members who participate in the temporary organization in all matters except such as may relate to contests in which they may be interested.
 Thus if the committee were disposed to do so in the approaching convention or in any convention where the issue in all contests were the same, it could create a temporary membership of the convention which would settle all con- tests the same way.
 That we believe has seldom happen ed in republican national conventions. There seems always to have been an earnest efofrt to ascertain what degree of regularity Is attached to contestants and contestees and settle all contests on that basis.
 Whatever might be the bias of a majority of members of the national committee they have always realized that the convention was the beginning and not the end of the campaign. There is the ultimate and all-deciding cleo tion.
 When contesting delegations come before a national convention, one is wholly in the right and the other is wholly in the wrong and the contest ants and contestees know who are en- titled to seats. There is no such thing as half regularity and half irregularity. Neither side has deceived itself as to its rights.
 If those who are actually in the right are rejected, in favor of those who are in the wrong, that means an almost certain loss of large number of votes in the state or district whence the contest originates.
 On the other hand if those who are in the wrong are excluded they regard only that a ''flier" has failed: they have no just cause for resentment and are likely to be better behaved repub- licans the next time.
 On account of this human tendency members of republican national com mittees have seldom allowed their per sonal bias in favor of a candidate to pervert their official actions in the making up of the temporary roll.
 That is the rule, to which as we have said there have been few excep- tions and such exceptions have been uniformly followed by disaster, in one instance fatal

THE ANTI-DREYFUSARDS.

It is difficult, if not impossible, for an American or an Englishman to un- derstand the long cherished animosity fthe anti-Dreyfusards against Zola, the writer whose "Jai Accuse" fiber ated Dreyfus from Il du Diable and in cidentany improved the morale of the French army and the French people.
 If there were any lingering doubt in France as to the innocence of Dreyfus we might then understand the senti- ment against memory of Zola, the first of his partisans. But there is no contention anywhere in France that Dreyfus was not innocent of the charge of treason. The suicide of Colonel Henry after his confession of forgery, the establishment of the con- nection of Esterhazy and Paty de Clam with the conspiracy against Dreyfus in an American or English court mar tial or court of justice would have buried the whole question beyond pos- sible resurrection.
 The anti-Dreyfusards after the trial at Rennes have never contended that the unfortunate captain was actually guilty, though on the flimiest evidence the court held him to be guilty with "extenuating circumstances" shortly afterward to be pardoned by Loubet. But he was guilty of being a Jew Thus Zola whose agitation made public the crimes of the forgers and conspirators,

SIovenIy Mental Habits.
CFrom Success Magazine

| NFrOm success Magazine )
 The normal mind acts under law. The mental faculties will not give up their best unless they are marshaled by system. They respond cordially to order, but they rebel against slipshod methods. They are like soldiers. They must have leader, a general who en- forces order, method
 The majority of people get very lit tie out of their brains because they never learn to think systematically. Their minds are like some country stores where everything is jumbled up. There is no order or method anywhere. They browse, or cogitate, but they do not focus their minds and conduct their mental process with order. Slovenly mental habits will destroy the finest minds.
 The strength and persistency of our habitual thought-force measure our efficiency The habitual thought force in many people Is so feeble and spasmodic that they cannot focus their minds with sufficient vigor to accomp- fish much.
 We can quickly tell the first time we meet a person whether his thought force is strong or weak, for every sen tence he utters will partake of its quail ity.
 The person who has a negative thought-fOrce betrays his lack of strength in every word: His language is weak, has no gripping quality.
 But the man with vigorous mental ity takes right hold of you, grips your mind with every sentence. His power thrills you, and you feel immediately that you are in the presence of strong personality.
 It is the positive, the aggressive thought that creates, that invents. The negative thought is always weak.

A MURDEROUS YAQUI
 SOUGHT BY OFFICERS
In the Course of a Water Quarrel He Attacked a Woman With a Shovel.

The officers of the sheriffs office have been searching for the last two days for a diminutive, but murderous Yaqui Indian. Complaint was made against him on Tuesday by a Mexican woman living on the south side of the river. She showed a broken arm as a reason for the arrest of the Yaqui.
 She said that she and others, among them the Yaqui had been using the waste water from the Bartlett Hoard ranch for irrigating. On Monday while she was running the water into her ditch, the Yaqui came along and ordered her to give it up. She repli d that she would do so as soon as she had got through with it. The Yaqui then struck her with an irrii5atins shovel, breaking her left arm. Her daughter came running to her assist ance and the Indian struck her cn the side of the hand. Then alarmed at what he had done he ran away.
 The woman came to town to have her arm dressed and also to make complaint against her assailant. Dep uty Davis went across the river in search of him. The only description he had of him was that he was a very small man and light colored for a Yaqui. He must have been very small for the officer could not find him.
 Deputy Sheriff Olea made a circuit of all the Yaqui villages on the other side of the silver yesterday, but at none, of them could he find any trace of the assailant. If he should be cap tured there is little doubt that he will serve a term in the penitentiary be- fore he strikes another woman with shovel

JUNE.

O golden month of June! We love the music of thy babbling
 brooks We long to rest within thy shaded
 nooks,-
 O Natures fairest boon! Thou art a gift indeed. Each wilding flower, each bird in leafy
 tree, In melody and fragrance speak of thee, To bless us in our need. O days beyond comparei Whose meadows breathe the scent of
 new-mown hay, Where we may idly roam the livelong
 day
 And drink the beauty there! Fair June, when thou art fled Wen miss thee from the woodland and
 the dell; When rose and violet we loved so well Lie withered all and dead

A NEW NEGRO POET.

There is issued today from the press of the John S. Winston company a volume of verse which will make a double appeal, one for the merit of the poems themselves and one because of their origin and authorship. For Your Sweet Sake" and the other verses which make up the volume are the work of James Ephriam McGrit, a young negro of this city. whose work justifies the high estimate placed upon it by many of those who have read it. It is perhaps not too much to say that no verse of equal quality has been
 written by any member of the race

 In this country public sympathy with a movement to punish a supposed traitor would quickly swing to uni versal indignation against those who had conspired to put brave officer in the attitude of traitor. All would join in congratulating him upon his vindication.
