Some apprehension is expressed by the
friends of the general local option bill
that it will be defeated by the amend
ments which. it seems probable, will be
made to it IN the Senate.
The opponents of the bill are certainly
leaving no means untried TO prevent it
from becoming a law. 1t is believed that
their purpose now is to get 1t 80 amended
that the House viii not accept it. 1t will
then go TO q conference committee, where
it may be kept by shrewd management
until towards the end Of the session. In
fact, it may be kept there until it is too
late to secure its passage in any shape il
the opposition to it is active and VIgilant.
II is a question whether the opponents
of the bill are not making a mistake in
obstructing its passage. One Of them, a
few days ago, said that it was the purpose
of some Of its strongest supporters to
make it the basis OF a political move
ment. IT is much more likely to become
the basis Of a political movement if it's
passage through this Legislature is sue
cessfully INSTRUCTED than If 1t is passed
IL it is passed at the presen5 session
the interest in the law will become local
at once, If it is defeated, the chances
are that local option will become pOliti-
cal issue at the next State election.
The very large vote which the bill re-
ceived in the House, and the large mum
Der Of counties already allied to the tenn
perance cause are pretty good Indications
that it would not be difficult for the tenn
perance people to elect a temperance Leg
islaturt. II the opponents of the bill are
good politicians they will take into con-
sideratiOn something beyond a mere tenn
porary success.

A Prosperous Outlook for Savannah.
Tho people of this oity ought to find
something satisfactory in the tax returns
of this county for this year, synopsis OF
which we published yesterday. For sew
eral years there has been steady In
crease in the amount of the returns, which
shows that the city and county are going
ahead.
The returns this year are $2063, l75
greater than they were last year, and the
Increase last year over the previous year
was very considerable. Reference to the
figures will show that the increase this
year is principally in the city.
Savannah is growing quite rapidly. In
the business portion Of the city several
very handsome buildings are being erect
ed. In the residence portion many fine
houses have been built lately aud others
are now in the course of constr uction.
There is every reason 10 think that the
tax returns next year will show even a
greater increase over those of the present
year than those of this year show over
last year. An effort will be made, doubt
less, to give an impetus TO building in the
new city addition as soon as the question
Of streets and lanes is settled. The dispo-
sition 10 build neat wooden buildings ia
the southern part of the city is marked.
The feeling that this city has a prosper
Oas future is much more general and
great deal stronger now than it has been
for years. People who are living in
rooms, or at the hotels and boarding
houses, are beginning to think about build
ing homes for themselves, not only be-
cause they can find more comfort in
homes Of their own, but, also, because
they are confident that if they build and
are dissatisfied they can dispose of their
property at cost, or even more than cost.
The county outside of the city is not
standing still by any means. The system OF
drainage that has been inaugurated and
the improvements the roads thathas been
begun are causing new lands to be brought
under cultivation and increasing the val
ue of those already cultivated.

Good Advice Heaped on Him.

from me -1etc FORK ITfONTle.
A stranger came into the Fifth Avenue hotel
Yesterday to inquire about routes of travel 20
Dayton, o. He was particularly anxious TO
fnd ont what roads were cutting rates A
Tribune reporter staining at the counter was
able 10 give him some information. The
stranger grew confidential, aud whispered:
Pact is, I've got TO find a road that cuts
rates. because I'm broke broke financially,
physically. socially, and every other way"
As he walked away, guest OF the house
remarked:
"If that man is really In the FIX he says he
Is, the best route for him 10 take Is TO Jump OF
the dock into the river. being careful to have
a carefully written address on his person
The Coroner would land him at home in As
hours without charge"
Possibly he objects to that mode Of travel
or to being a burden on anyone or making any
trouble" said another.
"He might dig his own grave and get into

Then they would only have TO pile the dirt
on him"
''You don't suppose they would let HIM rest
easy, even in a grave Of his own digging, do
youf" asked Clerk Carr. mot a bit OF it
They'd have him in the Morgue IN less than
an hour"
just then the subject OF all these remarks
emerged from behind one OF the big pillars at
the side Of the Office, where he had been
standing IN earshot Of the entire conversation.
He was laughing heartily, and as he passed
the group he calculated.

The bill for the modification Of the rail-
road commission law, which the House
Committee on Railroads has agreed upon,
is, doubtless, hardly satisfactory to the
railroads.
1t modifes the present law onlVso far as
to give the railroads a chance 10 be heard
/ by the commission before any changes In
rates, or in anything else OF which the
commission has jurisdiction, are made,
1t is true that the railroads have COM
planned that changes in rates were made
without giving them a chance to present
their side OF the case, when the changes
were against their interests, and they
have insisted that this arbitrary conduct
of the commission was unjust to them.
But what they desire particularly is that
the law shall be so modified that the de-
cision of the commission on any matter of
Importance shall not be final,
II is probable that they do not believe
that the commission is disposed to treat
them with the liberaIity and fairness to
which they regard them selves as entitled,
and that, therefore, provision for appeal
from the commissions decision ought to
be made.
There ought to be no reason for think
ing that the Legislature is hostile 70 the
railroads. and, dou btless, there is no rea-
son for thinking so. When it is convinced
that the railroads are really being injured
il will probably so modify the commission
law as TO give the railroads the relief they
ask.
The railroads are prepared, doubtless,
to prove that the commission rule has
been exceedingly damaging TO them, and
that it promises to continue 10 be damag-
ing. II the railroads sustain their indict-
ment Of the commission it is not easy to
see how the Legislature can avoid
enacting law OF some kind that VIII
give them some relief from the absolute
power which the commission exercises.
The railroad commission is an institu-
ton of which people approve, because they
think that it stands between them and
the grasping tendencies of the rail-
roads, but they do not want the
railroads ruined or their use
fulness impaired. All they want
is that the railroads shall not be per-
mitted to injure their interests by unjust
or discriminating rates. They and their
representatives in the Legislature are
willing, doubtless, that the railroad COM
mission law shall be so amended that it
will afford the railroads such relief from
the commissions power as they can show
that they ought to have.
The RAILROADS say that if they are
given an impartial hearing they will be
able to prove satisfactorily that they are
entitled to the legislation for which they
ask. They certainly have made out a
very strong case in their own behalf in
the public prints. and il is not improbable
that they will be able to make out a much
stronger case before the Legislature.
