Mr.. H. ]. McGiven's criticism OF
Mayor Sweeney in the matter of con-
victions for Sunday liquor SELL
ing, published in another col
umn this morning, is exceed
ingly inappropriate and unjust.
The Mayor does not preside over the
Police Court to decide to whom the
law shall or shall not be administered,
but to administer it impartially to
every person found guilty in his court.
1t is not the Mayors fault if only a
few are brought before him charged
with this offense while the majority of
the guilty escape. The Mayor is not
the police department, but simply the
Judge of the Police Court, pledged, as
stated. to administer the law impair
TALLY to whomsoever is brought before
him. Mr.. McGiyern's criticism of the
Mayor is groundless and without
weight.

Proposed Enlargement Of the Augusta Post
office.

our readers will note, by a Washing
ton dispatch published elsewhere in
this issue. that n bill has been intro
duced in the National House of Repre-
sentatives by Congressman Burleigh
authorizing and directing the construc-
ton Of an addition to the United
States government building in this
city How great is the need of this
Improvement will appear from an in
teryiew with Postmaster Stnson,
which appears in another column.
While the flood Of bills that has
poured in upon Congress this session is
something almost unprecedented, an
unusually large proportion of them are
of a private character. Among those
which call for public improvements we
do not believe that any is more worthy
of support than that which provides
the additional room so imperatively
needed. in the government building in
this city. We see no reason why it
should not secure a passage.
The enormous growth of the postal
business in Augusta speaks volumes
for the substantial and progressive
character of the enterprising publish
ing houses which play 50 important
part in the city's material prosperity
How much this means to all our citi-
Zens can scarcely be estimated, to such
an extent do the interests of 4 COM
facts and figures as are brought out
by this growth of business. and which
are so clearly stated by Mr.. Stinson,
go far to bring home to thoughtful cit
liens. some adequate appreciation OF
how much it all means We hope this
steady. healthy development may con-
tinue in the years to come. as it has
in the years past.
The expenditure of 100000 in this
city. upon a public project Of this
men. and contribute not a little to the
general prosperity of the community.
Our citizens will join in the hope that
nothing may intervene TO prevent the
passage of this measure. which has -
much to recommend it 10 the favorable
consideration of Congress.

The Basis Of Republican Delegates.

1t seems well settled that the dele
gates to the future Republican national
conventions viii be selected upon a
different basis than heretofore. The
change suggested by Congressman
Payne of Wisconsin has set the papers
and politicians to discussing the mat
ter, and all are well agreed that a
change Of basis is eminently desira BILE.
Since the denomination Of President
Mckinley is a foreEnne conclusion,
there is no prospect Of q contest before
gates in disposng Of this question
which has been frequently discussed
but never settled. owing chiefly to COM
plications which arose because of con-
tests for the nomination of President.
There il no disputiug the fact that tho

admitted that the localities ana states

li,aa presidents should have more of Il
voice in selecting a candidate. than
those where Republican voters are
scarce.
But there is difficulty in arriving at 4
satisfactory solution Of the problem.
The Payne plan allows for the same
number of delegates as at present, and
allOts to each state its representation
upon the basis of the Republican vote
ut the preceding election. This would
work radical change in the present
system. ana ii is probable that it would
CATION by state convention. other
plans have been advanced and one Of
the best is that Of the Albany Journal.
This cuts down the total number Of
delegates, ana keeps the congressional
district as the unit of representation.
Under the Albany Journal plan com
parativcly little change is made in the
| representation from the Republican
states. and the reduction in the Demo-
cratic states is not 50 sweeping as in the
Payne plan. and yet good relative
strength is maintained. The Journal
plan is to give to each state four dele
gates at large, and to each congress
sional district one delegate and
one additional delegate for each

1t is to be noted that Speaker Hen
derson is welding a gavel over the
present House which was presented
him by his fellow members of the Iowa
delegation. The interesting and sug-
gestive fact about this gavel is that it
is made of wood taken from one Of the
Spanish ships sunk at Manila. Every
time that his gavel strikes the desk il
gives out an official proclamation that
Speaker Henderson is an eXpansionist
and that the House is an eXpanSionist
body. Its sound will drown the wall of
Aguinaldo's allies in the House. and
inspire the Speaker to follow the flag
now as he did in the days when it cost
him a leg. The whole country will
hear that gavels thump, this winter.
