A VERY FALSE ALARM.

From the New York Tribune.
Only day before yesterday the
Democratic correspondents In Wash
inton were riding up and down like
so many Paul Reveres warning the
Republicans that a third party had
been launched, that they had heard
It splash in the sea, and that its
dimensions and sailing orders were
thus and so. And now already the
sad truth IS out. The only third
party that anybody can see on the
horizon IS the Committee Of Forty
eight, and that splashed overheard
for better for worse these many
moons ago, without anybody's be-
coming greatly excited one way or
the other.
Nor Is splash exactly the right
word to describe the beginning of
these amiable separatists. The craft
OF the Forty Fighters is an ark, not
a ship. Their craft is round as the
bowl OF the voyagers from Botham.
1t slipped overheard so quietly that
millions are still unaware of its
launching. It contains no mere
political group, but a marvelousIy
assorted lot of diverse reformers,
each headed in a different direction.
It's ark had to be round so that Il
could head toward forty-eight differ
ent points of the compass at one and
the same moment.
So far from adding to the number
Of parties, the formation of the
Fighters effected a notable re-
duction in the census of parties. It
cut the number Of parties visible in
this particular area OF discomfort
from forty eight to one.

sure that the election result was due
to popular resentment of the failure

the big business interests, while
labor and agrarlan politicians de-
clare that It evidenced public dissat-

the outcome as an indication Of what
