Judge L. S. Doolittle convened his court
in this circuit at this place Monday.
AT the beginning of the term there were
about 200 cases on the criminal docket, of
which number eight were for murder and
about forty for other feionies.
The grand curry. which adjourned this
evening. returned about $50 more, of which
number seven are for murder This makes
in all more than thousand cases on the
criminal docket in a county with vot-
ing population of but LS00
owing to the arrangement of the SEES
sions of the circuit. but two weeks can be
devoted to Mingo county by the judge,
and it Will be physically impossible 10 dis

and the civil cases viii go over untouched.
An effort is being made to secure the
creation of "a criminal court for the coun-
ty, and unless st is done it is beyond hui
man knowledge to say where and how II
Will all end.
The most important cases which come
up this term are those of cap Hatfield
and Joe Glenn and Detectives Clark and
Bevirs. The omenses which those parties
are charged with are murder.
The case of Clark and Bevins comes up

fact that that gentleman had resigned
The Office some months ago. We feel
that an apology is necessary in some

the undeniable fact that the last city

we seek in vain for some one to apol-

Governor MacCorkle, of West Viz
einia Will give way to a Republican
nevt month. Whether this viii mean
mat the Mountain State is to remain
Republican is for the future TO deter
mine.
The Mountain State was carved out
of the Old Dominion during the war
for the purpose of weakening the Con-
federacy. IL began its career as an IN
dependent State under Republican, Or
rather. under Union, auspices. II was
not long before Democracy asserted
It's supremacy and controlled the des-
tinjes of The new State. 1t sent q solid
Republican delegation to Congress al
the election of 1894, and repeated that
act at the recent election, when IL also
chose a Republican Executive.
Governor MacCorkle is regarded as
one of the ablest men in the State, ana
one of the best chief magistrates 1t mas
ever had. He is largely interested H.
and expects. on his retirement from
the gubernatorial chair, to give his
time to developing the natural re

part of the national domain. lie viii
rnouestionably be heard from again
in the politics and public affairs OF
his State. and to him the Democratic
party must lagrely look for a return to
power.
The Governor has visited Washington
frequently. especially during the last
Congress. when the Wilson tariff bill
was under discussion before the Ways
and Means Committee. His friends
are anxious to confer Senatorial honors
