He has declared that he will ap
point republicans to office whenever
he finds them worthy and well qual
ified, but that he will appoint dem
ocrats when he finds them superior
to the republican applicants. In Al
abama and South Carolina demo
crats have already been appointed,
and republican protests have follow
ed.
All this good for President Roose
velt and good for the country. How
ever, the good for the president is
not from a party standpoint, and he
will soon be given notice, with em
phasis, that if he fails to serve the
republican party through his official
authority, the republican party will
refuse to serve him when he desires
re-election to office He will be told
in unmistakable terms that a repub
lican president must consider the
welfare of that party paramount,
else he cannot farther receive emol
uments through that party.
Mr. Roosevelt is believed to he an
honest man, with positive convic
tions and with courage to act ac
cording thereto, but the republican
leaders will never acknowledge that
any man owing his elevation to their
party has any right to serve the
country other than in accord with
republican policy.
So far the democrats have plen
tiful commendation for President
Roosevelt, and they hope he will
continue to be so deserving. This
commendation is not based upon
any desire for democratic party ben
efit, or republican injury, but be
cause they hope and desire service
for the republic rather than service
for a party.

JUG FILLING A SPECIALTY.
Admiral Sampson’s Condition.
It is not unlikely that a state con
stitutional convention will cost Geor
gia more than it would be worth.
Our legislators should not incur
such a great expense without the
most careful consideration.
It is reported from London that
the British government will agree to
the abrogation of the treaty that
prevents the United States from
controlling the proposed isthmian
canal. Further, it is said our next
congress will provide for the con
struction of such a canal.
Recently we have heard several
politicians express the opinion that
there would he only two candidates
for governor of Georgia when the
campaign becomes active next
spring. No two of these politicians
named the same two candidates as
those who will remain in the race.
There are three candidates for
mayor of Macon, and it seems that
retrenchment in municipal expendi
tures will be the leading issue in the
campaign. Without any desire to
meddle, we venture to express the
hope that Mayor Bridges Smith will
be re-elected. The nomination will
by white primary.
The final census report of 1900 on
the population of the United States
has been made public. The total
population is 76,003,387, of which
66,990,802 are white and 9,312,585
colored,' 8,840,78^5 being of negro
descent. The whites show an in
crease of much greater per cent than
the negroes. There air? 1 per cent
more males than females in the total
population.
Whatever the Schley court of in
quiry may have disclosed, or what
ever the final “verdict” may be, there
is a pathetic connection that was not
originally considered, That is, the
physical and mental condition of
Admiral Sampson. Whatever the
opinion of the people may be con
cerning the relative credit due to
either Sampson or Schley in their
connection with the Spanish-Ameri-
ican war, universal sympathy will be
accorded Admiral Sampson and his
family if it be true that physical
misfortune has overtaken him.
On this subject our Washington
correspondent says:
“At last an official statement has
been made in regard to the disease
with which Admiral Sampson is suf
fering. It is a form of ‘aphasia,’ a
complaint which attacks both the
memory and the speech. A patient
suffering with it will talk along,
thinking that he is saying certain
words, when, as a matter of fact, he
is saying nothing but gibberish.
Further, he will be convinced that
he remembers things that, as a mat
ter of fact, do not, and never did,
exist. The worst of it is that the
navy department admits that Samp
son has been suffering with this
since long before the Spanish war,
and that it was growing on him all
the time, the attacks increasing in
frequency. It is well known in the
navy that he had such a severe at-
