"For tho past few day numerous loc
statements and predictions havo been mi
made in tho daily press, as to the prime k<.
responsibility for whioh it is not nooos- sti
sary to inquire. It has been said, 'the foi
attorney general, it is sa.d, gave tri
Ooloaol Noal's bond jmen a rcooipt, for on
the amount duo by him to tho stato.' oo
No such rooeipt over was given, for to
tho reason that it had been hold all eti
along by this offioo that tho bondsmon
wero liable for only a part of what Neal wi
was duo tho stato, aud only for this part tn
was any reoeipi given or any money sa
paid. Communioation was bogun with an
Naal immediately upon tho rcoeipt of hi
the report of the committee, early iD th
August, 1899, and continuod from timo di
to time unptofitabiy until August 29, ch
when warrants wore sworn out against on
him and his arrost followed. he
"Demand was made on hiB bondsxon to
on Septcmbur, 4, 1899, and tho sum of So
2.812 41 finally paid by thom on the he
29th day of tho same month, after com- ne
plaints wore prepared, ready to lo Tl

the items of tho Bhortago included in oo
the sum. hi
"It was also Baid iu Wednesday's "i

knowledge:' 'During tho hearing (in oi

cd Mr. Nelson souio questions as to ic
what amount Colonel Neal still owed te
the state, or whether by hiH aots tho
state stood in danger of losing any thing, as

the questions asked by the governor, hi

"Inasmuch as tho governor, on the (

Having been confined, as a source of
information, to common rumors and to Hl
tho articles published m the nowspa t(
pors as to the facts prescntod on behalf
of tho defendant, 1 am not informed of }(
any ovidenoo laid hoforc his ezoollenoy (
to mako him ohaDge his conclusions as I1
to tho faets established by tho oommittoo's

sustains, and aftor collodion from J. ai
B. Watson for tho benefit of tho bank it
that amount duo for oonviot hiro for ig

ported. tl
1 notioo in today's Stato a statement it
of what, by way of ouphomism, we tl
may o?!l his exapllonoy'a reasons for tl
granting tho pditicft^of pardon. Thoso e'
appoar, generally speaking, to bo thrso: t<
Pint. That the potitions were num>usly
signed "by gentlemen of the J
sheet reputation and standing." This
ison is forceful possibly booauso "the
ioo of tho peoplo is tho roioo of God*' j
the auditor whoso worship is dirootin
a oertain direotion.
Second. Tho sureties of the effi rial
nd of Nea\ urged the pardon upon
e ground that tho defendant had reid
thorn what they wero oompollcd
pay tho stato on aooount of his doloation.
TbiB reason would i'.solf be
noluaivo if tho proseoutions had boon {
ought by tho state for tho boncfit of
eso bondstnon.
Third. It seems to bo taken for grant- J
i that humiliation and rcpentauoo for }
c deeds dono in tho body arc satis- <
otion before tho law for the violation i
tho orioiinal statutes of tho Btato.
Wore tho governor, uodor our oon- ?
itution, olothed with the priestly pow t
of absolution on account of a ohaugo 1
heart and a promise of a better life, 1
lis reason wou.d perhaps havo weight,
ut one can scarcely throw elf tho con- |
olion that had this penitent boon '
icndlesB and weak ho would ha70
sen left to tho ohain gang to "bring '
irth fruits meet for ropoutanoa."
Aa it would be an iojustico to con
udo that the reasons for graotiag tbc
ardon aro fully set out in the stato
icat above analjz.'d, 1 shall look to
ic allegations of tho politico and the
atcmonta contained in tho letters
anded out by tho governor for publioaon
and mate such ruanirg comment
s appcrs to me portincnt.
Tho petition st&tca that:
(<) "Tho effonso of which N;al was
anvioted was a toohnioal violation of
he iaw." In addition to saying that all

Damascus is a city of white and glistening
architecture, sometimes called
"the eye of the east," sometimes called
"u pearl surrounded by emeralds," at
>ne time distinguished for swords of
the best mat'.rixsl, called Damascus
blades, and upholstery of richest fabric
called damask. A horseman of the
name of Saul, ridiyg toward this city,
had been thrown from the saddle. The
horse had dropped under a flash from
the sky, which at the same time was so
bright it blinded the rider for many
days, and, 1 think, so permanently injured
his eyesight that his defect of
vision became the thorn in the flesh he
afterward speaks of. lie started for
Dnmascus to butcher Christians, but

by n high wall aud tlio gates are ^

ire built on the wall, and tlieir balcolies

ibove the garden outside. It was cusotnnry
to lower baskets out of these \
valconies and pull up fruits and ilow(rs
from the gardens. To this day vistors

Providentially there was a good
stout basket iu the house. Paul's

Paul steps into it. The basket is lifted
to the edge of the balcony on the wall,

1 was the youngest of a large
family of children. My parents were
neither rich nor poor. Four of the
sons wanted a collegiate education,
and four obtnined It, but not without
great home struggle. We never heard
the old people say once that they
were denying themselves to effect
this, but I remember now that ray
parents always looked tired. 1 don't
think they ever got rested until they

eld that this neccebity had arisen by

iunecd, ho bold, upon Democratic

n comely different plan?one utterly
oicigu to our customs, institutions and
lodes of thought. Tho speaker then
ctonbed tho Philippine islands and
resented many facts and figures to
bow how many cotton goods America
Did them last year. He figured that
bo islands bought irom us goods
mounting to 7 cents per oapita, and
hat if t. is trade is divided up Stu b
laiolica will got ono hundredth part

o bo secured and applied tho same
