In an article on "The Use and Abuse of Parties" in the June Century, Washington Gladden in conclusion Bays of .parties: "What, then, is the duty of intelligent and patriotic men respecting them? To this question various answers are riven: Ml. Keep out of political life. It is hopelessly corrupt You can do noth ing to purify it. Let it alone. "This is the argument of despair, lightly urged by many frivolous and faithless souls, but not to be enter tained by any patriot "2. Yote always, but belong to no party. Join the unorganized mob of Independents: take your place on what Mr. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., calls 'the center of the tilting-board,' and put your votes in every election where they will do the most good voting al ways for the best men, or, at any rate, against the worst rascals. "This is a comfortable way of doing political duty; the practical difficulty is in determining which rascal is the worst Both are sometimes so bad that it is hard to choose. "3. Maintain n loose relation to one party or the other, but take no part in the primary meetings and bolt when they offer you bad candidates or bad measures. The theory is that in this semi-attached oondition you will in fluence somewhat the nominations; that the party managers will be think ing of you when they mako up tho ticket - "This, too, is apt to leavo tho voter simply a choice of two evils. The gentlemen left by you in charge of the primary meetings are not sure to think of you, and if they do, they con sole themselves with tho reflection that the other fellows will probaby nominate a worse man than theirs. "i. Join ono party or the other. Go into the caucuses, if you can get in. Takoyour pluck and your indepen dence along with you. Tell the gen tlemen in charge that you are inter ested in the success of jho party, and that you want to keep it in a shape in which it will deserve to succeed. Give them distinctly to understand that 'while you ask nothing for your self, you intend to tako a hand in shaping the party policy nnd in mak ing the nominations; and thai you will be guided in all this by a supreme regard for national interests rather than personal interests. If, in spite of your protests, they make bad nomi nations, bolt the nominations, and re turn to the charge next time, taking with you as many as you can of your well-intentioned neighbors If you preserve your temper, and use reason, and keep standing up for men and things that are honest and of gooJ re port, peradventure taey will listen to you at length, and yo. i may succeed in lifting up the sltnl.rJs and in purifying parly mr.:i..f;ciuout "This last mjtuoda.vesr to sae by far the wisest one" Tils' Freuciial Coatcat. Although Iho-Ecv'sj.pe:' arc aU earnestly discmsiiig the cLaucea of the several gentlemen who p.ro com peting for the Republican presiden tial nomination, and tho popular in terest in the subject is rapidly grow ing in excitement, wo are not ablo to see what difference to the couutry it will make which of them gels the gift "Who can tell what important principle or policy Mr. Blaine stands for orahatMr. Edmunds or Mr. Arthur or Mr. Logan does not? "What does any of them stand for? Nothing, so far as we can see, save the "perpetu ity of the Republican party,'' which means its retention of offices. They are all in favor of keeping the Demo crats out; each is a champion of pro tection; all are friendly to the "busi ness interests:" no corporation need fear that any of them, if made presi dent, would do ought to curtail its privileges. In all essentials Blaine, Edmunds, Arthur and Logan are four political peas in a pod. If any one of them should be nominated and v elected, the government, so far as his conduct might affect it, would go on quietly in the channels in which it 'has flowed for years past There would be no disturbance, no reform. Not much is being said of the aspi rants for the Democratic nomination. The reasons for this comparative lack ot popular interest are: first, that tho convention is to be held a month later than tho Republican gathering; second, that Mr Tilden, the Demo-t cratic God Almighty, declines to vouchsafe to his worshipers a reve- j lation asr to his intention to run. or I the contrary; and third, that a con-! viction is abroad that Democrats! - have scarcely a fighting chaaco fori the presidency this year. This con-i viction arises from tho fact that the I Democratic party has been exceed ingly industrious within the past year or two in furnishing good reasons for keeping it out of power. It is notbecause the Republican party is admirable that tho people should keep it at the head of the govern ment, but because the Democratic party is imbecile and despicable. Although the average voter is not a remarkably intelligent person, a plain idea or two of a general sort finds lodgment in his head and in fluences him when election day ar rives. He perceives clearly enough, despite -the thunders of party organs, the fiery eloquence of the stumpers and exhilirating thumping and bray ing of brass bands, that there is real ly nothing at stake in the confliot but the offices. The Republican party has them, and naturally wants to keep them; the Democratic party has . them not, and naturally wants to get , them. Tho average voter or at least a majority of him cannot boo what is to bo gained by" turning the Re publican out and putting the Demo- - crat in. i The Rpv. Geo. 11.

Tacoma again comes to the front, says the News. This time with a real, genuine, pure, bon fide sea ser pent A party of well known Taco maite?, consisting of "W. J. Thomp son and wife, Miss Thompson, Wallie Fife and C. H. Allen were enjoying a clam bake on Brown's point yester day afternoon about 5 o'clock; when Mr. Allen, happening to glance away from the elams for a moment, saw a frightful looking monster in the water a short distance to the nerth: of the point. He immediately called the at tention of tho party to it, all of whom immediately declared it to be a sea serpent of the most approved descrip tion. In a few seconds it was abreast of the point, about 200 yards from shore, and traveling at the rate of twenty miles an hour towards the ter minal city. Tho monster was of a brownish color, between 25 and 30 feet long (it should have been 100 foet at least), about two feet in diam eter, and with a head the size of a water bucket The mouth was large enough to tako in any man who would slip through a water bucket if the bottom of the bucket was knocked out It traveled with an undulatory motion, lifting its head at times far above the water. It was never en tirely out of sight while the party were looking at it. After its disappear ance an animated discussion arose as to tho style of tail it wore. It is still undecided whether it was forked or not, but tho writer, from a careful perusal of all the facts before him, leads to the opinion that it was. There can be no doubt of the truth of tho foregoing, as the reputation of the parlies for veracity is above ro proaoh. A miners' meeting was recently held in Eagle City to determine to whom twenty acres of mining ground located on Dream Gulch belonged. Mr. Myer, who addressed the meeting in behalf of those whom he claims were unjustly ousted, stated in effect that the claim had fallen into the hands of fighting men, and tho intention seem ed to be to wrest the title from his party by force. Mr. Holman, who held title to five acres from tho Myers party, stated that although that party was the first locator, their location was irregular and imperfect, and that the adverse claimants had acquired a better title by fully complying with tho district laws. Ho intimated that he regarded his title as simply a fight ing ownership, and Myers had passed it to him iu order to have his own in terest protected, and stated that he would now relinquish all claims to the ground. Mr. Myers denied the state ment in a very excited manner, giving the He .to Holman, when that gentle men, revolver in hand, atarled toward him. Fortunately tho room was fo crowded tual H jim in "was. unable to read. Mjeir.. or to lire uiLioul eu danerljc: lao livoo of others.
