The Republican Platform,

Boston, Oct. 6.-The state convention
OF the republican party was called to
order in Music Hall at 10 30 this morn
ing by Col. A. H. Goelting.
Rev. John Cushson offered prayer
and Col. Goelting then was appointed
temporary chairman and Randolph G.
Surbringe temporary secretary.
The crenentials Of the committee re-
ported 217S delegates present.
Congressman w. II. Moody was then
elected permanent chairman. The
speech of Moody's was well received.
There was little interest shown in the
nominations as there was no opposition
to the old state ticket which is made up
as follows: Governor, Roger Wolcott,
Boston; Lieutenant Governor, w. Muir
ray Crane, Dalton; Secretary of State,
William Moley, Boston; Attorney Gen
eral Hosea NJ. knowlton, New Bedford !;
Treasurer, p. Shaw, Newburyport, and
Auditor. John W. Kimball, Fitchburg.
There was considerable interest shown
in the foreign plank of the platform.
This part says:
While we would not interfere with
the diplomatic negotiations we desire
that they be conducted and terminated
so as to secure the Philippines and Cuba
in the aniplest measure the blessings of
liberty and self govcrement
The platform opposes returning to
Spain the peoples we have freed from
tyranny"
1t endorses the president in ordering
an investigation of the war-deparlment
where the hardships of the soldiers are
said to have been aggravated by official
negligence.
The platform reaffirms the St. Louis
platform, favors the gold standard, the
Nicaragua Canal, the maintenance of
standing army and navy and the re-
striction of immigrants while it warmly
praises the presidert in his conduct of
the war.
Gov. Wolcott and the state ticket was
renominated by acclamation,

every officer. OF course, there Is no.
body to report on the fleet commanders,
but they are directly under the eye of
the navy department. The records thus
made are filed and preserved at the de-
partment, so that an officers entire
career may be reviewed at any time.
1t is upon these data that the board of
admirals will be required to base their
selections. There will be no such thing
as favoritism, and it will not be pos
sible to retain man on the active list
because he is good fellow, or for any
other such reason.
The adoption of this system will ac-
compliSh number of excellent results.
1t will get rid of the dead wood, while
retaining the most valuable men on
the active list. 1t will be great stimu-
lus to effort on the part of every Off
Ger. Those who are retired compulsor-
lily will be disgruntled, of course, but
they will take their grievances with
them out of the service. Finally stag
nation in promotion. which is the curse
of the United States navy as at pres
ent organized, will be done away with.
and in future the painful spectacle will
not be presented of grey-haired lieu
tenants and OF captains and admirals
who have reached command rank at
an age when long past the period of
best efficiency as commanding officers.

Using Liquids at Meals.

A celebrated German physician has
just published the results of elaborate
Investigations into the effect upon the
stomach Of liquids at meals. The more
one drinks, he says, the more one eats;
and vice versa, the more one eats the
more one drinks. A drink Of water will
excite the appetite and stimulate both
brain and nerves; and this Is due di-
rectly TO the fluid and not to the al
cohol contained, for we find these same
facts the same in abstainers. The
widely accepted belief that alcoholic
fluids, even taken temperately, retard
digestion does not seem to be borne
out. Not even whisky and brandy
taken moderately seem to retard di-
gegtion. The extraction of body warmth
through cold drinks the writer consd-
ers as very much overrated. In the
normal stomach, the author concludes,
not only drinking at meals, within GER
tain limits, does not interfere with di-
gestion, 1t even aids this process.

lieve that as the human race multi
piled food would have to be supplied in
a form more concentrated than offered
in the present food products, as the
area of the earth's surface available for

inadequate TO the demand. Siemens
pointed out at that time that electricity

in somewhat the same direction as Sic

the British public by the ears in a pa

within thirty years the bread-eating
peoples of the world will be face TO

1t is not supposed, however, that the
whole number of vacancies required
would be created in this way naval
officers seldom willingly quit the ac-
tive list. Accordingly. 1t is proposed 10
establish system of compulsory re-
tirements. For example. If twenty va
cancies in the list of commanders are
required annually under the new ar
rangement, and only ten occur nor
mally in a given year, 1t VIII De neces-
sary to choose ten commanders 1or IN
voluntary retirement. The selection OF
the men thus retired without their con-
sent will be made by board OF ad-
mirals, who will present to the Presi-
dent list of those chosen to go out.
Inasmuch as the members or thls
board will be above the grades In which
selections are made, holding as they
do the highest rank, they will be free
from bias in the matter. Furthermore,
they will be obliged under the contem-
plated law to base their judgment not
upon personal prejudice, but upon the
individual records of the officers.
Every six months there is made to
the navy department a report respect
ing every officer in the service. barring
fleet commanders. 1t covers the beha-
vior, efficiency and health Of the per-
son reported on. Each captain reports
in this way about the officers on his
ship, and the fleet commander makes
a similar report regarding the captains
of the vessels under him. If anything
unfavorable is stated about particu-
lar officer. the report is submitted to
the latter in order that he may have an
opportunity to reply. BY this method

ne was before the conflict began.
There is popular notion to the eff
feet that the government, in grateful
recognition of services performed, be-
slows these rewards upon officers of
the navy. AS matter of fact, it does
nothing of the kind. 1t indicates the
persons who are to receive the rewards
but the latter are given and paid for
by the brother officers of those who
get them. 1t would not be 50 bad if the
losers were permitted to exercise some
volition in the matter, but, as the case
stands, they are literally held up and
forced to pay OF course. promotion
signifies augmentation of income as
well as increase of rank, and, when a
man is put back several numbers, his
advancement to the next grade is de-
ferred just that much longer, and it
means to him good-sized loss in cash
Suppose, just for a moment, that
when the President wished to recon-
pense Sampson, he had issued an edict
requiring the navy department to stop
out of the pay of every officer in the
service a certain sum of money-the
whole of the fund thus made up to go
to the COMMUNICATIVE chief of the North
Atlantic Squadron. What a howl there
would have been all over the country,
ITO be sure. The injustice of such a
measure would have been deemed out
rageous. Yet, in very truth, it would
have been much more fair than
to do what was done-namely to take
the entire reward out of the pockets of
eight other officers, selected arbitrarily
and without their consent. The men
who paid this reward to Sampson were
Howison, Kautz, Remey, Farquhar,
Watson, Robson, Schley and Casey,
over all of whom Sampson was jumped
in order to make him an admiral
To make the matter worse, and as if
to rub it into" these unfortunate gen.
tlemen thoroughly, Schley being ad-
vanced six numbers, was also Jumped
over them all, excepting Casey. The
other captains promoted for services in

numbers; Coghlan, five numbers; Grid
