that OF Michigan on July g. 1854. but the
name did not originate there. AS early as
1s52 before the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS bill
passed. one Major Bovas-. of Ripon, Wis
consin, canyassed among his neighbors for
the formation of new ;ntislavery party,
to be called Republican" In March. 1854,
a meeting was held in Ripon TO organize
ed the name Republican, but the promoters
of the movement thought it too soon to
adopt a name, and it was not done. Then
Major Bovay wrote to Horace Greeley, sug-
costing the NAME and requesting him to
use it in the New York Tribune. On July
10. 1854 the day of the Peoples conven-
ton in this State, the new party adopted
the name Republican. The Wings could
easily have carried Vermont under the old
name, but 1T was thought advisable to rec
ognize the new movement by adopting a
new name. In reporting the proceedings of
this convention, and of two or three other
State conventions held on the same date,
the New York Tribune adopted the name
Republican, and from that time it became
general, except that the designation, Peo-
pies party was continued in this State
until after the nomination. of Fremont in
1856. The Republicans of Michigan are
probably correct in their contention that
the convention in that State was the first
by about week, to adopt the name, but
it had been used in some local meetings
before that, and the party under other
names was very much alive in other States
before its present name was adopted by
general consent in 1856 1t was a happy Sc
lection, and has been an inspiration to great
achievements.

ENGLISH HUMOR AND CHIvALRY.

Those writers who have persistentiy de-
clared that our English cousins are without
the sense of humor have evidently made
a mistake. Positive proof of the kind that
is admissible as evidence in courts of law
was given to sustain the contention that
the Englishman is humorous person in
one OF the local justice courts on "Dogber-
~ Row. few days ago. 1t seems that
one Handson, an Englishman employed in
charge of the general dining room and
kitchen arrangements at one of the local
hotels, had been hailed before the squire
to show cause why he should not be fined
for forcibly Selling and kissing a pantry
maid, who resented his attentions. Hand
son smilingly admitted that he had done
the deed, but declared that it was a part
of his regular routine to kiss the pantry
maids in England. as this display of humor
had cheerful effect on all concerned. The
justice could not see it that way and i'm
posed a fine, and that Englishman will prob
ably go to his grave in the firm belief that
Americans have no sense of humor. 1t is,
of course. a bit rough to have ones humor-
Gus efforts fall on unappreciative carson
lips, as the case may be-but Handson is
not the first man in the world to suffer
through an attempt to be funny.
Possibly the revelation that kissing pam
trymaids is the regular thing in England
may throw some light on few things in
London that strike the American traveller
as odd. One of the first things he notes on
arriving at London hotel is the fact that
the chambermaids uncommonly pretty
| young women, while in America about the
last job a pretty or young woman can get
is that of chambermaid. He finds, instead
| of the more or less lordly barkeeper, a
pretty barmaid dispensing drinks at the
bar And thus it goes all along the line.
| Wherever 1t is possible for mental service
to be done by a woman he finds not only a
woman, but young and pretty woman in
service. The whole effort seems to be to
use feminine beauty for the sordid purpose
of attracting trade, notion at which the
whole spirit of Americanism revolts.

Historical Data.

There is not in existence, it seems. an au-
thoritative, trustworthy history Of North
America from the discovery to the present
time. One or more compilations cover the
field, but in an imperfect fashion and with
an undue proportion of space devoted to

Master and others undertake to cover but a
limited field Topremedy this defect in the

with the aid of his colleagues. The work is
approaching completion, but the editors at
this point are leaving the beaten track of
books and records and appealing to the peo-
pie for information peculiar to and personal
to themselves and their localities. They
ask the use of historical documents in pos
session of individuals, facts concerning his
torical portraits and variety of other data,
details of which are set forth in a circular
issued by MIR. Carleton. AS there is, no
doubt vast amount of valuable historical
material in possession of private persons,
and as there is everywhere local history
having close relation to the annals OF the
larger region this appeal should bring
much that will supply fresh and vital ele-
ment to the work if the public will but CO.

women who are interested In quiet way

hoped that they will respond promptly to
the appeal. All communications should be

1t seems improbable to the lay mind that
DR.. Littlefield, the Alexandria physician,

it is we'll known that biologists are con-
stantly experimenting toward that end, and
are hopeful of achieving it. They long

A dispatch from vincennes. Ind. states
that Charles Higginbottom has been dis
missed from his place in the pearl-button
factory there because, as a member OF the
local militia company, he assisted in put
ting down the recent riot at Evansville. The
dispatch adds that Eugene Aubrey. pro-
prietor of the factory, is member Of the
Socialist party.
Honest Socialists are frequently vexed by
representations that their aims are the
same as thoee OF the Anarchists. They arc
wont to deny such statements with heat
that Is not wholly unwarranted- IL they
are entirely sincere in such denials. how
ever, they should take pains to -disavow
such men as Eugene Aubrey.
For Eugene Aubreys act, unless he be
grossly misrepresented, In dismissing
Charles Higgfnbottom, was that OF an An
archist. In denying Higginbottom employ
ment merely because he had done his duty
to uphold the law against a lawless mob
Aubrey acted in the anarchist spirit He
did not wish the laws to be enforced and
public order maintained.
The question then arises whether Eugene
Aubrey's socialism is the real article IL
II Is not. then the Socialist party should
make haste to denounce Eugene Aubrey
and to drive him from its councils. III the
socialistic programme is ever TO have that
chance 10 be tried which its advocates de-

Americans believe IL TO be utterly imprac-

men whose conduct proves them Anarchists

A Canadian writes to New York paper
protesting against the appropriation of the
term Americans" by the people of the
United States as if it belonged to them
alone. He says Canadians are as much
Americans as are the people of the United
States. That is true, but the trouble is the
world does not choose to look at 1T in that
light. 1t is not the fault of the people or
the United States that the term Is univer-
sally applied to them alone. 1t is simply
practical recognition of the fact that the
United States is the only great power OF
the western hemisphere, and its people,
by their intelligence, energy, enterprise and
progress are distinguished above all others.
Canadians can call themselves Americans
if they wish to, but the rest of the world
will continue to apply the term only to the
people of the United States.

A New York tea expert comments on the
curious fact. vouched for by grocers. that 1t
is difficult to sell high-priced teas even to
consumers who pay high prices for all the
rest of their groceries. For some reason
they balk at paying even dollar pound
for tea, and more frequently call for a
lower-priced grade. This expert says that
while what is classed as good tea can be
had for a dollar a pound, really choice tea
cannot be bought for less than $50 and
from that up. One New York retailer has a
few customers for variety which he sells
at IS n pound, but those who call them
selves lovers of good tea will seldom, he
says, pay more than 81 a pound. AS a mat
ter of fact, it is probable that the majority
of American tea drinkers know so little
about frst-class tea and its flavor that the
cheaper grades, having the taste most
familiar to them, are entirely satisfactory.
1t is case where ignorance is bliss.
