sHIRKED THEIR DUTY.
Police Judges Compelled to Deal With "Drunks" in a Proper
 Manner

Captain Seymour and the Police Judges had a meeting yesterday morning that promised at first to be a stormy one, but finally ended in a proper understanding for future business.
 The ''drunks" have been in the habit of not being taken before a Judge, but Sergeant Wolf of the City Prison without authority has been constituting himself a Judge, and every morning discharging them or dealing with them as the fancy struck him.
 Captain Seymour happened to drop into the prison Wednesday morning and was astonished when he saw his subordinate holding court over the "drunks.' He ask ed for an explanation and at once gave orders that the drunk cases should be assigned to the courts the same as the other cases. The result was that yes- derday morning each court had its share of the "drunks" Hence the meeting.
 The Judges agreed to take week about to be at the prison at 9:30 o'clock each morning to dispose of the cases, and the friction was over.

It is also said that the sanitary condition of many of the buildings is very bad and they are alto gether united for occupation as schools.

GEN. c. G. WATTS
Says Bryan and the Chicago Plat
form Are as Strong Among West
Virginia Democrats as in 1896.
SEES Victory this Fall.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Ex-Attorney General C. C. Watts, of
Charleston, w. Va, one of the most
accomplished lawyers and foremost
citizens of the Mountain State, was
seea at the Shoreham last evening.
Il do not think thai there is any
doubt said Gen. Watts, that Mr..
Bryan is as strong with the Democrats
of West Virginia as he was in 1896. If
there had been anything like a fair
expression of the will of the voters in
that campaign he would have carried
the State, but his friends were power
less against the methods employed by
the opposition. The financial plank of
the Chicago platform is still in favor
with West Virginia Democracy, for the
single gold standard has not brought
the prosperity to our people which its
advocates promised. Since the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act our financial sky has been
clouded, and there is no prospect of
betterment as long as thelbresent sys-
TEN is maintained.
The Democrats are not'without con-
fidence in their ability 10 carry West
