LOCAL OPTION WILL PREVAIL.

1t is the understanding that the Legis-
lature that will be elected next fall will
not contain as many prohibitionists as
are in the present one. The prohibition
sentiment is not dying out in the state,
but 1t appears to be less aggressive. At
Tuesdays primary there were prohibit
ton contests In some of the counties.
but there were not enough of them 90
make 1t appear that the prohibitionists
were trying to capture the Legislature
1t seems TO be pretty generally agreed
by the leaders of public sentiment
throughout the state that it is really bet
ter for the cause of temperance that the
local option law should be permitted to
stand. While 1t is true that some of the
local option counties are somewhat trou-
bled by the liquor traffic, it is quite GER
tain that they would be fully as much
troubled If there were a general prohibit
ton law. Gradually the people are becom-
ing educated to temperance, and the time
vii, come when local option will capture
about all of the counties of the state
When the majority really want pro-
hibtion ID is possible to have IT.. But
experience shows that prohibition does
not prohibit where the majority of the
people are against 1t.
No doubt there will be a prohibition bill
introduced into the Legislature next fall,
but 1t Is doubtful if it will gee as much
support as the Willingham bill got From
present indications Georgia will stick TO
local option. for the present at least.

The cruiser Albany will shortly sail
from Newcastle, England, for this coun-
try, with an American commander and
crew. The Albany, 1t will be recalled, was
bought from she Armstrong firm of ship
builders nearly two years ago. upon the
breaking out of the war with Spain. She
is a sister ship to the New Orleans which
did good service on the Cuba blockade
These two will be the only foreign-built
ships in our new" navy, with the ex-
ception of those taken from Spain.

The Singer Piano
of Chicago, III.

This SINGER PIANO is sold by many
of the leading dealers in the United
States, such as VIM. Steinert Sons Co,
who have the largest establishments in
Boston, New Haven and Providence. Also
the SINGER PIANO is sold by VIM.
Knabe Co., having the leading houses in
Boston. Baltimore, Washington and New
York city. There are a large number of
leading houses handling SINGER PIANO,
too numerous to mention.
The SINGER PIANO is evidently one Of
the best pianos in the market, or 1t would
not be sold by these leading houses.
1t has an elegant singing tone, much
finer than most pianos, and about one-half
the price of other instruments.
Call and see and examine the SINGER
PIANO and save a good deal of money on
your purchase. Same guarantee is ex-
tended for the SINGER PIANO as any of
the leading pianos of the day, and sat-
lsfactory price will be given to all on APP

Ought not the asphalt company which
has the contract for repairing the streets
be called to account for failure to comply
with It's contract? 1t may be true that
the company has had some difficulty in
getting asphalt. but It certainly has had
time to overcome that obstacle. The as
phalt pavements in some of the streets are
in very bad condition, and have been
for a long time. Complaint of their con-
dition does not seem to do any good. Some
of the holes were cut in the pavements
for the purpose of making improveme nts
and others are the result of natural wear
Where the asphalt is cut repairs ought 10
be made at once, and II would be good
policy not to give permits for cutting the
pavemeuts until II is known that the as
phalt company is in a position to make re-
pairs promptly. Indeed, there ought to be
no delay in repairing breaks In the pave
ments as soon as they become noticeable.

ELECTION BETS.
Richard Croker Places $4,000 TO $4,000
on BYan-0ther Heavy "agers.

New York. Sept 2-Richard Croker
stands TO win $4,000 upon the election
of W. J. Bryan. while should he lose
Louis W. Wormser Will get 100000 Of
the Tlmmany chieftains money.
Edward Murphy said. yesterday: II
believe Mr.. Croker made the bet, al
though / have not been advised of it
personally"
Mr. Croker is known to predict a
plurality for Bryan in Greater New
York of $4,000. and this wager indicates
that his hopeful view is not mere cam
.paign talk.
Mr. Wormser has already wagered a
large sum upon Mckinley at the same
odds of 2la to l. ON Aug %. he placed
$50 GOO against $4,000. OF this So
went to cover $4,000 put up by H. A.
Cooper The name Of the person who
advanced the other $1,000 of the Bryan
bet was withheld. The amount OF
Wormser's wagers is estimated at $500
600
Mr.. Wormser has been Offering to
take more wagerS Of the same char
acter. and the odds proved TOO tempt
ing for the Tammany chief. Mr..
Croker's name does not appear. how
ever. in the transaction. the matter
having been arranged through Bell <
CO., firm of brokers.
The defeat of Van Wyck for gov
ernor cost him, it was said, not less
than $4,000 Should Bryan win Mr..
Croker will have recouped his loss of
1898 at a single stroke.
In the opinion Of some of the Demo
cratic leaders, the election betting odds
will be shorter toward the end Of the
campaign. so that it Will be possible
to hedge out bets made now. and leave
comfortable margin Of profit should
Bryan win, without the possibility of
loss in the event of defeat.
Several other wagers have been made
on the Stock Exchange John II.
Dunno placed $4,000 on Bryan against
$4,000 on Mckinley. with John NJ
Shaw. Mr. Dunno offered $4,000 more
on the same terms, but his offer was
not taken
