form is expected to be the most trouble
some part of the convention,
Many of the Populists declare the con-
ventlon practically will reaflrm the plat
form adopted in 1892 at the Omaha con-
vention. 1t is expected that there will
be a struggle between the men who want
a simple platform and those who wish to
include many statements OF policy.
Three main planks will be submitted
to the convention for the platform. One
will demand that the Government assume
the coinage and issuing Of all moneys
without reference to national banks. A
second will insist that transportation and
transmission of intelligence by wire or
otherwise shall come entirely within the
province of the Government and be done
at the actual cost Of service. A third
plank will call for the abolition of alien
ownership.
The temporary organization will be made
along the lines laid down at the meeting
of the national committee of the party
in St. Louis. Heretofore the Populists
have frowned on attempts by the national
For the sake Of harmony, however, the
convention will not go against the action

British Local Nicknames.

The residents of the English counties
have nicknames the meaning and ORR
gin Of which are not always obvious.
Why the inhabitants of Liverpool
should be called "Dicky Sans" is not
very clear. But nearly all the counties
have their distinctive nicknames. The
Glaswegians are ''Keelies," the Lam
cashire men are Tim Bobbins," while
the Lincolnshire folk have long been
called yellow Bellies" after the frogs
which once abOunded there. Yorkshire
men, again, are everywhere ''Tykes," a
nickname the etymology Of which is
not easy to trace. The inhabitants Of
Suffolk are designated "Dumplings,"
those of Kent Hogs and the Isle Of
Wight people "Calves."
