arrest of Col. w. A. Neal, ex-supcrin-
tendent of the penitentiary. 1t was
not made public until yesterday. but

trate Smith, and will be served tomor-

ter, but it was learned from other
sources that the warrant was designed
to be served tomorrow, and was is
sued several days in advance simply
for convenience, as Col. Cunningham
was in the city that day.
The charge under which Col. Neal is
to be arrested is based upon section W4

Georgias senior Senator, Bacon,
thinks that the outlook for the success
Of the Democratic party next year is
excellent. AS he sees the political
situation the party will be united and
harmonious. The opposition Of Tam
many to Bryan and the Chicago plat
form has practically disappeared, and
all that the national convention will
have to do is to nominate Mr.. Bryan
and re-afirm the Chicago platform.
Senator Bacon says that it will of

Governor McSweeney is receiving
the plaudits Of many good citizens
from every section Of the State for the
way he is administering the duties of
the Office Of the Chief Executive of the
State. he is not only more careful in
granting pardons than some OF his pre-
decessors, but he seems disposed to
check the pernicious practice Of offer
ing rewards for the capture Of crimi-
nails as soon as crime is committed.
This has grown to be a great abuse.
Sherifs and constables in some Coun-
ties frequently seem to defer activity
until the Governor offers areward. They
locate their man, get the reward offered
and thus get special fee for a service
which it is their duty to perform.
Keep up this line. Governor, and when
you will have retired from Office, which
We hope will not be until two years
after the expiration Of your present
term, you will receive the plaudit,
"wen done, thou good aud faithful
servant" from every true citizen.
