Thus far the phrase Peoples party
has been used, but it is rather phrase
Of convenience than exact designation,
for in truth the party has not yet been
officially named. and Peoples party
Is admittedly very inadequate title. II
has been applied dozens Of times to or
CARNATIONS OF the widest possible vari-
ance. The 30 called Peoples party
Of 1854 was combination in the then
western states Of anti-Nebraska Demo
Gratis, antislavery Wings, radical tenn
perance men and reformers of various
kinds. but after one campaign under
that name it became the Republican
party.
Third party" Is q still worse desig-
nation. besides being already applied in
the popular mind to the Prohibitionists.
Nationalist is too vague, Labor" too
limited. ''Industria," is not exactly the
thing and "Antimonopoly" is really quite
'.fishy." A humorous critic has sug-
gested that the new party name itself
the "Adullsmites" (see Samuel xxi,
/, %. but this is an old and painful joke.
To sum up, It looks as if the selection of
q good name would be one of the hardest
tasks before the convention

OF all Irish landlords perhaps none
was more popular with his tenants than
the Earl of Leitrim. AS an instance Of
what may be termed his approachability,
it may besstated that on the birth Of his
second son an old woman on the estate
called at Manorvaughan to offer her
congratulations and, remarking to the
earl that this was ''the first of the breed"
born on Irish soil, suggested that the
boy should be called "Pat." The earl
