A Merry BURGLAR.

Tampa Herald: When Needham
Graham went home about IL o'clock
night before last he met a man in the
dark corridor up stairs whom he
thought to be his father. The person
stepped aside and went to the laba-
tory and filled a basin and washed his
face, which confirmed the impression
that he was Mr.. Graham. Next morn
ing IL was discovered that the intruder
was a thief who had managed to get
in the house through a window, but
was apparently frightened away by
the arrival of the young man without
securing anything.

NONE BETTER FITTED FOR THE
OFFICE.
From the CHARLESTON Post.

From the Charleston Post
Col. Estill is really South CAROLYN
ian and is one of Charleston's many
valuable gifts to Savannah, but he is
a factor of such large proportions in
his adopted city and state that we can
scarcely establish more than a claim
of origin to him, but his Charleston
friends and admirers would celebrate
with much enthusiasm his election as
Governor of Georgia. Certainly none in
the Cracker State is better fitted for
the high Office than is Col. Estill.

The Pardon of Neal.

Col. Neal, who was convicted for not pay
ing over to the State the penitentiary money
which was In his hands, within the time re-
quired by law. is applying himself or through
his friends. TO the Governor for pardon from
the sentence OF the Court to pay sum OF
money and possibly serve term in prison.
We have no zeal in the matter, and care
not one cent whether he is pardoned or not.
That Is matter In which we shall take no
part. But we have never seen the equity or
the high principle. by which the State was
governed In the matter, and as the Governor
seems disposed to pardon SO many, we see no
reason why Neal should be discrimina ated
against.
AS we understand. Col. Neal paid every cent
Of the money which the State claimed.
When the State received that money, we be.
lieve the State was in honor bound not to
pursue him, upon q mere technicality. To US
1t looks very much like persecution, and Is
about as near coming up to our notions of
justice as was the scaling OF the State house
bonds to fifty cents on the dollar.
When one citizen accepts the full amount
OF another's Indebtedness, that should settle
the matter. II every man in this country
was sent to prison for not paying his debts on
the day his obligation became due our coun-
try would become depopulated. and our pri-
sons would have to be enlarged.
We believe Neal has been badly treated.
He may have his faults, and we do not say
that he has not, but justice and fair dealing
should characterize the conduct OF the State
In dealing with even an ugly sinner.

The city council Of Charleston has conclud.
ed to recognize the validity OF the dispensary
law. The members Of the council did last
week what was oheerfully done by other
towns years ago, namely: pass law forbid
ding unlawful traffic in liquor within the
corporate limits. This must have been a sore
undertaking for city which has 80 long de.
fed the laws OF the State. When that oity
learns that she Is pert OF the State, and not
the whole commonwealth, the good old city
and the people will be on better terms, and
good results will come to all.
Charleston has 30 long depended upon
partial legislation, and has 30 long ruled the
State. that the people of the great old city
must be mortified to be compelled to obey the
laws which she did not ask the Legislature TO
enact.
The result, which must be gratifying to all
the people OF the State. was brought about al
most solely by the influence OF the Evening
Post. The able and patriotic utterances OF
that paper did the work. Everywhere lovers
OF law and order, should contribute to the
building OF magnihcen: triumphal arch in
honor of the Post. 1t might be located near
Chicco's establishment. or placed near the
Big Indian Show, or. more appropriately, in
front Of the office of the Post.
