PROHIBITION To BE MADE AN ISSUE
The Prohibiionists are wild with Joy to-
night and will now press the issue in every
ether State" said a telegram from Maine
on the discovery that Prohibition and
BLAINE had carried that State on Monday
This will be done, and this question will
rapidly become the chief issue in OhiO a.
the October election. If the Democrats
carry Ohio at that election no amount OF
reasoning will convince the country that
the victory is not due to the German or
anti-prohibition vote.
From that time until the 4th Of Novem
Der all other questions and issues will be
lost sight of. And no one can doubt the
result. There will be scarcely State in
he Northwest left to tell the tale Of the
Iprpg' Perubican disaster.

AN UNDERGROUND AFFAIR,

The Neat scheme Employed by Atlanta
Sports aud "Srortesses" to Deceive the
Cops While They Enjoyed IL Picnic.
ATLANTA, GA. September 1.-THE un
derground world of Atlanta has been in the
enjoy ment of a peculiar sensation, which
has been rudcly broken up by the police.
The Willingham building has been long one
Of the noted points Of the city. Some
time ago New Yorker made
his appearance here and rented
the Decatur street front of the build
ing, which he fitted up as a first class saloon.
In the rear of the saloon room was ele-
gantly fitted up as a psrlor, with 8 piano in
one corner. A day or two later corner OF
the building was opened as ladies dining
room. So great was the success OF the
establishment that the building, corner OF
Marietta and Forsyth streets, was similarly
fitted up BY enterprising citizens. This lat
ter establishment was just across the
street from the State Capitol and
was liberallS patronized by well.
known politicians. In an unguarded
moment some one let the police into the
secret of the success of these establishments.
Inner doors c, INJECTED The gentlemen's
saloon and the ladies dining room, and
those who had entered fon different cor
ners met in we'll lighted parlors, where, safe
from the eyes of the prying world revelry
ran high The police at once organized a
raid. which was eminently successful, and
now several nice young men are trying to
compromise cases against them without the
necessity of appearing in court while the
saloons are in temporary mourning.
