prohibition Dead in Asbury Park.

AsBURY PARK, N. j., Aug. 29.-The
organ of James Al. Bradley appears with
the assertion that in over 100 places in
Asbury Park liquor is illegally sold, and
that the apathy of the temperance peo-
pie has caused Mr.. Bradley's action,
which is now final and decisive. He
says: 1.-THE fight is too great for me
alone, and others will not help" He
does not want to see licensed saloon in
the park, but thinks an open licensed
saloon would be preferable to the 100
sssneaking dens" now in existence.
Prohibition, further says the organ,
.'is dead letter in Asbury PARK, but It
is no fault of the law, but of the people.
The Ocean Grove association IS much
disturbed over the matter, and is Bit
terly opposed to Mr.. Bradley's sug-
gestions.

ground in favor OF the rejection of the
Sioux Fails constitution and in favor OF
u new ono, as ;ertin that the stats can
not be admitted before November any.
way But the people will take a different
view. The Sioux Falls constitution will
be ratified and South Dakota will be
admitted by proclamation not later then
Jane. The people are restless and
snxious and will rot favor snythiag that
will cause delay. The Sioux Falls
constitution wps thought q good one
when made end will not be discarded
now. Its adoption will bring the state
in several months ooner. and the people
will regard the quickest plan the best.
III, undes the law just enacted by con
gress, the state of South Dakota can
enter the union by June. or earlier than
the last of November, through the ratii
cation of the Sioux Falls constitution OF
1888, the Press and DakotRisn is
solidly in favor of the ratiti
cation of that constitution at the May
election. Bot, from the information we
have as to the terms of the law, there is
no reason to suppose Shat South Dakota
caD be admitted until after the October
election result has been certified to the
precedent, at least a month after the
election. As q constitutional convention
is to meet OF Sioux Falls in Jnly to sub
NIT the constitution to o vote OF the
people, it is toierably evident Thai the
| state cannot be admitted in June. And
as q constitutional convention is directed
to submit a constitution to the October
| vote, ii can as we'll submit q new constl.
tuition as the old one. No time would
be lost thereby and there are come de.
fects in the Sioux Falls constitution oil
1885 which could be cured. These de-
fects are not OF SO serious q character as
to warrant delay IN admission, bat as
nine months must elapse (as the law is
understood) before We can get into the
union, there will be no Improperly in
employing the time In strengthening the
organic act OF the state. The Journal
correspondent implies that there is G
scheme in the suggestion OF the Press
and Dakotaisn. We hereby tender hin
q reward of five dollars for every "loceI
leader" who was consulted before the

in accordance with the suggestions Of

said that he would vote f.r the removal
of the tax on tobacco, provided 1t was
accompanied with free wool, free tin,
