A New Plan.

To the Editor Of the Globe Republic:
ing candidates for the spring election, which
we think admirable
Let the central committee consult with
their constituents, and then select three rep
resentative Republicans from each ward in
the city to act with them in selecting double
the number Of names of prominent Republi-
cans in each ward necessary as delegates in
the convention. Then put all names on slips
OF paper, and draw halt of them as delegates
and the balance as alternates. Number them
as they are drawn out so that No. alternate
can act for No. delegate in his absence.
For example, we will suppose the Third
ward has twenty FIVE delegates. The GEN.
tral committee, together with the three citi-
zens selected by them, will select fifty good
Republicans and draw from this fifty twenty
FIVE, numbering them as they come out, l, 2,
3, etc. When twenty-five are drawn, they
shall be tue delegates Then draw the bal
ance, numbering them as alternstes, No.
alternate to act in the absence of No. l dele
gate, and so on.
We can see no objection to this plan. 1t
will avoid all scheming and buying, and
will give US good representative men in the
co vention. 1t divides the responsibility
with the central committee, which is desir-
able.
Let US have square deal and We shall
have Republican administration in our city.
We have given it away before; lie, US net
give it away again. Now is the time to ac;.
AN OLD REPUBLICAN.

BILIOUSNESS.

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such as
furred tongue, vomiting of bile,
giddiness, sick headache, ir-
regular bowels. The liver Sc
eretes the bile and acts like a
filter or sieve, to cleanse impu-
rites of the blood. By irregu-
larity in its action or suspen-
sions of its functions, the bile
is liable to overflow into the
blood, causingjaundiee, sallow
complexion, yellow eyes, bill
ious diaPPhGa, a languid,
weary feeling and many other
distressing symptoms. Bilious
ness may be properly termed
an affection Of the liver, and
can be thoroughly cured by the
grand regulator of the liver
and hillary organs, BURDUCK
BLOOD BITTERS. Act upon the
stomach, bowels and liver,
making healthy bile and pure
blood, and opens the culverts
and sluieeWays for the outlet
of disease. Sold everywhere
and guaranteed to cure.

spectful or offensive to the colored peo-
pie"
These are the points Of Judge Forakers
letter, and we have no disposition to try
to prove that they are not well made. We
did not assert that the Judge had done
wrong in any instance, or that he was not
in all respects a most worthy man, but it
was our purpose to discover whether, if he
were renominated, the placing him at the
head OF the Republican column would not de-
velop formidable opposition among
class of men who are always strongly Re-
publican. The results OF our work are al
ready well known to our readers; and it
may as well be understood, in connection
with this, that the friends of the Second
Amendment who were displeased because
OF Judge Foraker's gratuitous assertion,
in 1883, that he should vote "for neither
amendment" are still in the same state of
mind.
That all colored men in this city are
not opposed to Judge Forsker's re-nomi-
nation, is shown however, by the fact that
at meeting, at which about 25 colored
persons were present, held in this city
on the evening of February 3d-Mr.
George w. Leach acting as
chairman, and Mr. Charles w. Rey-
nolds officiating as secretary. and at which
meeting Judge Foraker's letter was read
entire, the resolutions append
ed were unanimously and rsptur-
ously" passed:
Resolved, That the foregoing letter of
Judge J. B. Foraker is q complete, manly,
and satisfactory answer to, and reiuta,ion Of,
the iusidious implication Of his untriendli-
ness to thecolored people, and of the malicious
fslsehoods Of his political enemies.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meet
ing that Judge Foraker is the friend Of the
coiored people. genuine Republican, and en-
tirely worthy our fullest confidence and cordial
support.
Resolved, That Judge Foraker's letter and
these resolutions be given to the public
through the GLoBk-REPUBLIo.

The Fighting Ships Of the Future.

The London Post protests strongly
against building any more iron-clads.
1t enumerates the disadvantages en-
tailed on the British navy by the appli-
cation of armor-plates to the sides or
batteries of line-of-battle (or fighting)
ships as follows: l. The expense Of
iron or steel armor adequate to resist
the ever-increasing power of artillery
is simply monstrous. 2. All fire from
shipboard is known to be more or less
inaccurate, and the chances of a ship
being struck in a vital part are very
small indeed. 8. But if the armor-
plating of ships battery or turret be
struck, and if it not be wholly imper-
vious to the shell striking it, the effect
of the blow is enhanced, and the shield
actually becomes an instrument for
rendering the blow more deadly to
the gunners behind it. 4. A ship has
certain tonnage displacement. accord
ing to which her weights have to be ar
ranged. Hence, every ounce Of armor
weight decreases the gun weight or
coal weight that she can carry. 5.
Iron-clad fighting ships are necessarily
of such prodigious size that to pos
sess numerous navy and to conduct a
great naval war on the principles that
must be followed if were to maintain a
dominant position OH the seas, that is as
a war of aggression, is a financial i'm
possibility. 6. 1t is almost certain that
the bulk of the educated naval opinion
of the present day favors the view that
the skillful use of the ram will be the
guiding object in future engagements.
Now, a modern iron-clad is about as
handy an instrument for use in ram
ming mancuvcrs aS-well, let us say
an old COW at a pump. Z. Next to the
ram the torpedo, or torpedo vessel, is
probably the most efficient naval fight
ing weapon. But an enormous iron
clad is singularly open to attacks from
torpedoes, and its size gives it no par
ticular advantage in directing such at
tacks. 8. The great size, draught, and
cost of iron-clads inevitably tend to
reduce the feeling which should be up
permost in any captain $ mind, that he
can 90 anyw here and do anything"
with his ship. In iact, it renders HIM
cautious-a deadly quality for naval
minds. What, then, should we substi-
tute for these gigantic armored floating
machines? To us it appears that the
type of tirSt-class fighting ship which
most nearly meets t e requirements of
of the day is as follows: An unarmored
corvette without sails, of two thous-
and 10 four thousand tons displacement,
possessing good sea qualities, an arma-
ment of maximum weight and power.
and an underwater steel protecting
deck, great capacity OF coal stowage,
handness, IA iiities for ramming and
torpedoing, as much speed as can
be given her. Such vessels would cost
comparatively small sums. and we
could maintain many sluadrons OF
them.

the caucus shall draw out number of
tickets equal to the number of delegates
to which the ward is entitled, and that the
person. whose names are found on the
tickets shall be the delegates of that ward.
This would make an unpledged and un-
hacked convention, which would be truly
representative of the Republican party OF
the city. 1t would be apt to nominate
ticket that could be elected, and that would
be credit to the party and a credit to
Springfield.

The Brazilian law of 1871 provides
that all children born to slave mothers
shall be free. but cannot obtain their
freedom until they are q years old,
and must serve their mothers owner
until that time. Consequently, chill
dren are worked to death; and only a
small proportion of them live to secure
their freedom, A traveller says there
"never was a nation on the globe in
which slaves were treated with more
diabolical cruelty than they are to-day
in the coffee producing provinces of
Brazil. The punishments practiced are
simply barbarous. There are still
100000 slaves in the empire. In two
provinces abolition sentiment is so
strong that all the slaves have been
freed
