that the boat will be libelled by the United

THE POLICE AND SUNDAY DRINKS.
Mayor, Chief, and Justice Discuss
Nr. Benuchamp's Sermon.

The discourse delivered Sunday night
by Rev. w. b. Beauchamp from his pull
pit. in st. James Methodist church. IN
which the young divine denounced in no
uncertain terms the liquor traffic, and
sale of liquor on Sundays in Richmond
has provoked much comment, ana the
police officers have felt that there was
in il an implied charge against them for
duty not performed. and the trusts OF the
neonle reposed In them not unviolated.
Several of the heads of the city and
notice government when approached yes
terday. spoke freely about this alleged
dereliction. Mayor Taylor said: Il leave
matters of this kind to the Chief or 70
lice. He is thoroughly capable officer
and understands how TO look after law
breakers. | have never had complaint
against him from any one except minis
tiers of the Gospel
Major Howard, Chief of Police, was
then asked as to the work or the ON
GERS in suppressing Sunday selling ana
replied that unless they have more riga
law IN hack them uD the evil cannot be
suppressed Said he: suspected saloons
are kent under as strict surveillance as
the law permits. There can be no fault
found with the police. They make the
reports whenever it is possible to get eVi-
dence against a saloonman who Is vio-
lating the law, and the delinquent Is al
ways heavily fined by the Police justice,
but every reasonable person must ADMIT
that they cannot be stamped out entirely.
| notice that DR.. Parkhurst. who made
the most noted fight of the age against
the saloons OF New York, has thrown up
his hands and acknowledged hlmselt
beaten"
Justice Crutchfeld's face contained lines
of worry when he saw from the papers
that his own tribunal had not fallen short

days with my family" said he, and

I'm my life, so | have no business in those
places. / have no reason In the world

abandoned. as has been reported Victor
L. Berger, editor Of the VorwaerH. OF
this city, who attended the conference
Of the leaders Of the Social Democracy"
at Chicago recently. says the whole mat

chance to make livelihood. The col0-
nization scheme is only side Issue with
the Social Democracy. but Mr.. Berger
says the press OF the country have made
it the main plan.
Mr.. Debs is in full accord with tho
plan OUTLINED by Mr. Berger. The latter
says there are 100000 unemployed In
the country and he will consider his
party lucky if II can raise money enough
to transport 1O,0O0 TO the West. There
was never any intention Of forming "A

insufficient to accommodate the crowds
who come to witness the bright and clever
performance. The performance at the
Exposition Grounds possesses many at

heavily patronized ON such hot days as
