Political Nomenclature.

COMMENTING upon a suggestion by The Times of India, that political parties should be renamed, the Bombay Chronicle has some sensible remarks in its issue. “Trusting that there is going to be some sort of finality in the differences of opinion prevailing in the country, the Anglo-Indian friends of India cry for a separation of the sheep from the goats for ever. Without entering into the merits of the claim that there is at present any irreconcilable diversity of views among Indians, we point out to the many self-constituted godfathers of the moderate party the precarious nature of their change. It is obvious that their altruistic task of inventing labels for Indians proceeds from the hope that an ephemeral breach may be settled into a permanent cleavage in the country.”
