Iu thoeourso of Mr. Scliur.' remarks ho aild. Wo havo two political partim to-day, but nellboi.MitHloa the people. I shall admit that In liotli putties there aro good men, and ' in this aud'that Mtato some good things huve been doue by either ono of the party, but It was like a umu coming to two roads, and ask ing which its shall lake, and some person aaylng to hlin, "Stranger, vou may tnkn either, but, -if you do, vou will wish you had taken the other." Indepen ont voters wero in tho ma(ni?ood oitUetis, who wished to aervo their parties by tho bust methods, not bargainors, tl.utn convinced that the mass of Independent voters are strong enough to give tho victory to either party. The Inde pendent arty is ton great to fritter jiowor away, but It wc the duty of the men couipo alng it to use their power for the common good. It was too early to givo advice in regard to tbe next Presidential olectlon, but Initiatory ateps should bo Ukon bj tho men composing til to bring its power to a focus. Let it be by tbe organization. commltteos or otherwise, .so that wheu tliotimo comes they could say to parties what&ndedeiideuU wanted. I iio llave great good win be brought about in this ry, and what a great blessing it would be to have a full-growu statesman In the 1'res idental olialr, Noxt year wo would celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Independence.

The same paper learns that there Is plonty of coal land near Enchanted Prairie, on the Coquillo river. It says there is a vast amount of good lands in that locality, unoc cupied, and as it Is on tbe route of the pro posed railroad to and from the'Bay, it is the best locality for now r-ettlers in all tnat coun trv.
