The aggregate Republican vote for Con-

the Democrats elected ten. The last legisla-

Everybody will agree to this If it is for
the bestsinterests of the city to run the Roch-
ester extension along the line proposed In
spite OF the fact that it will grea tly iniure
the public park and almost ruin very valu-
able piece of property owned by the city the

the whole public is interested in, and but
very small part Of them will be able to listen
to the demonstration Of Thursday evening
The opponents of the scheme have publicly
pointed out their objections. Now let its
friends publicly point out the grounds on
which they favor 1t. Let them show its ad-
vaniages, and then the public will have a
fair opportunity to judge whether those adj
yantages outweigh the disadvantages. The
friends Of the scheme need not fear that
they will not be fairly heard. and their case
given all the consideration it deserves.
Portland has never shown any hostility to
railroads. On the contrary it has usually
been dead in love with them.

petition before the City Council asks for
the discontinuance of portion If Bracket
street, that portion being the So CO between
Commercial street and the retaining wall of
the Boston d Maine railroad. There seems
TO be no good reason why the public should
surrender its rights in this section OF Brack-
EFT street. 1t now affords convenient route
for foot passengers from the upper portion
Of the city to Commercial street and the
Portland bridge. This route IS by bridge
and steps that safely condde: he foot tray

Maine. But the greatest value Of this sec
tion of the street is Ia the requirements of
the future. The present overhead bridge
from York street to the Portland bridge is
unsatisfactory. 1t has too many crooks and
turns, some of them at dangerous grades.
Portland bridge was originally built straight
out from Bracket street. This is the most
direct and convenient route, free from all
crooks and turns. The present location of
the overhead bridge from York street was
the result of compromise with the railroads.
At the time it was the intention to build the
Union passenger station near the foot of
Bracket street, and that rendered the build
ing of the bridge to the foot of that street i'm.
practicable inasmuch as it would have
to go through the roof of the station.
But the station has been built elsewhere
The business of these roads has now been
diverted in great measure to this new
Station, and all interests would now be bet.

piece Of Bracket street the city is now asked
TO give away, will be absolutely needed. The
county and city are now being put to large
expense to purchase private rights in order
to provide an avenue to ferry to the Cape

time to give away portion Of a route that
may be needed in the immediate future TO es-

The usual complete and comprehensive expo
sition of the business of Savannah, known as
the Annual Trade Review, will be issued from the
Office OF the MORNING News, on Thursday, Sept
g. This edition has been for many years one of
the features of the opening of the busy season

mess men of Savannah as one of the chief
means of calling the attention of the public to
Savannah's business, and her prospects for the
coming year.
The annual review will give not only the sta
tisticts of cotton naval stores, rice, lumber and
other products, and the data concerning the
wholesale business of the city, and its manu-
factures and other industries, but 1t will con-
tain an interesting account OF what has been
done in the city during the past year, and tell
what its enterprising citizens have in hand for
the next The closing year has been a very
prosperous one but that upon which we are
entering promises to be even more prosperous,
A matter that is OF the greatest importance
and one that deserves especial notice, is that
Savannah is no longer place that strangers
accessible seaside resorts the city has become a
sanitarium for people who come to enjoy the
sea breezes.
And the coming year; what OF it' Is 1t not
filled to the brim" with the highest anticipa-
tionsH There is to be magnificent hotel, the
finest in the SOUTH new county court house
and a new public building. There are to be
more railroads. more homes and more public
Improvements.
No year in the history Of Savannah has been
brighter than that which has just closed. The
city's growth in population and wealth the
public improvements which have been and are
still being made the erection of immense busi-
ness houses the Inauguration Of new Industries,
the extensions made by the two great railroads
which transport the products OF Georgia and
adjoining states to our wharves, all prove that
Savannah is not only a growing, but very
prosperous city.
The business men of Savannah cannot make
better investment than by sending copies Of
the MORNING NEWS Annual Special Edition
to their friends and correspondents. A
newspaper like this Trade Review, contain
ing au accurate account Of the business
of this city, is the best advertisement Of the
energy and activity of the people Of Savannah.
