When our right to make connection

One infalli5ic mark Of the folly of
this new party talk i, found in the
circumstance that no two of the out
liners OF party programmes agree as
to the principles for which the new
party should stand. If there were to
be a. many new parties as there are
programmes there would be more po-
litical sectS in the United States in the
campaign OF 1900 than there are in
tie French Republic or the German
Empire. Some of them would nave
for their paramount issue hostility to

their principal attention to real civil
