THE NEW PARTY.

It seems to us that there Is great
deal OF unnecessary excitement over the
''new party" with which the working
men are threatening US. Throughout
several States there is, no doubt, an
extensive organization OF workingmen
for political purposes, and In Louisville
they have even carried popular elec-
ton. Still we maintain that such q
party as they propose to organize. with
it's lack OF intelligent leadership and
narrow views, can never become con-
trolling, or even very considerable,
political influence in any State.
Parties have to deal with community
interests and ore composed Of citizens.
This is the only character In which any
man shold participate In public affairs,
or in which he can take broad and
comprehensive view Of those questions
with which parties are concerned. The
man who looks at such matters as a
member of any social subdivision, as
shoemaker, manufacturer, an
artisan, or q tradesman, must nee
essarily adapt his vision to a very
small and ciroumscribed horizon, and
in a measure blind himself to all the
manifold social and political laws and
phenomena which go to make up and
control the organism of society. When
men endeavor in these characters to or
ganize parties, they generally succeed
In merely organizing trade unions and
ward clubs that are controlled by few
demagogues and by them sold out and
bartered off to first one party and
then another. No matter how pure and
honest may be the convictions and pur-
poses OF the men who go into such or
ganizations, once in them, they soon
habituate themselves to regarding the
narrow and selfish interests Of their
leaders and their petty associations as
matters of the utmost Importance, and
which must be subserved at any cost.
This is by no means the first time that
this same thing has been attempted in
this country, and in every instance the
result has been the same, and it has al
ways been bad and hurtful in the ex-
IRENE. The demagogue is the first and
most prolific fruit that 1t bears. His
coming is heralded and his future
development insured by one declara-
ton that every one of these labor
organizations have engrossed in the
enunciation Of their principles, which
declares all men Ineligible for office
and unworthy Of political support who
are not laboring men-members of that
class Of society which lives by manual
labor. 1t must occur to all thoughtful
people that the laboring man cannot
pursue his calling and at the same time
discharge the functions Of any official
position. He certainly cannot acquire
the necessary information to make a
successful legislator and intelligent
statesman while he is compelled to earn
his bread by manual toll. The moment
he quits his workbench and steps into
Office he is no longer workingman,
and the chances are that he never will
become anything else than an office
holder, in the most contemplate sense
OF that term; but, however this may be,

In MeInOriasn.

EDITOR SENTINEL: In reading your
article of yesterdays issue in relation
to the late Judge Cradlebaugh, it
brings back to memory the shameful
condition of his grave lying on the
hill west OF town, where o even
stands a stone to mark his last rest
ing place. Decoration day passed by
unobserved, and not II kind heart
attempted to cast yer a green sprig
on the mound beneath which he is
buried. Could not some public spirit
ed citizen circulate a petition to pro-
vide for some suitable monument or
inclosure to keep sacred and secure the
remains of a worthy and noble man p?
No doubt it would meet with a hearty
response, and the sou of him who has
gone would look down from Heaven
and forever bless the protectors of his
grave. CHARITY.

THE GOLD FIELDS.
A Line from Bob Howland.

We mentioned the other day that
K. M. Howland-better known as Bob
had gone out to the new gold fields
in the vicinity of JEFF. Davis Peak. He
is there, and sends back a few facts
which we hasten to lay before our
readers. His letter is dated, "Under a
Tree, Osceola, June 5th," and he pro-
ceeds to say that there is not enough
gold in that section, either in quartz or
placers, to justify an excitement. He
says water is scarce, and characteristic.
ally adds, "big pan prospects ditto"
Mr.. Rowland says it is true there is
gold in the district, but from the OBJ
servations he has been able to make,
ne thinks poor prospectors had better
stay away. The owners of locations
say their mines pan out big, but Bob
says his panning has never shown
such favorable results. At any rate,
hr says he has not succeeded in find
ing AS large pieces as the owners have.
The chances for the prospector he be-
lleves to be poor. Everything has
been located for 20 miles around. Un-
der the laws of the district each indi-
vidnal locating a placer claim is enti-
tied to 20 acres. Bob goes on to say
that capital might Go we'll in some of
the quartz lodges, but it is no place for
men of no means. The people are all
poor and there is hardly a dollar in the
camp, and no employment. MI. How
land assures us that he would not
willingly injure the mines of any dis
trict by reporting adversely, but the
indications of a grand rush to the new
gold fields are so apparent that he be-
lieves that it would be wrong not o
place poor men in possession of the
real facts of the case. Bob concludes
his letter as follows: II just asked a
Chinaman how his claim PANIED out,
and he answered, Nine pan dirt one
cent; coarse gold, no catch 'em.'O

The Hamburg.

Mr.. Phillips has about completed
his contract in erecting buildings and
placing machinery at the Hamburg
mine. The whole work reflects great
tendent, and the hosting works are
second to zone in Eureka District. Ali
of the latest improvements have been
adopted, and an eye to convenience
and economy has governed the work.
The hosting engine is of the latest and
with a safety cage, originally built for
the Atlas Company, but transferred by
it to the Hamburg Company. Extra
%precaution has been taken to secure
improperly against fire, the main
building being rooted with iron, thus
obviating danger from the only Part
exposed. Now the improvements are
completed, work will be carried on,
and ore hoisted out of the main shaft.
A great amount OF ore has accumu-
lated in all the drifts and cross-cuts of
the Pacific shaft, these being filled up
as the work of prospecting was car
ried on. This ore will be hoisted to
the surface at once, leaving that part
of the mine clear for Stopping and ore
extracting. The amount of ore in
sight is immense, and looks as il it
was inexhaustible. The Hamburg is
one Of the best mines in Eastern Me-
vada, and a proof that the southern
end of the ore channel is not one whit
behind the northern in richness and
permanency.

TybO Freight.

j. d. Power, the Typo correspondent
of the Belmont Courier, has the fol-
lowing to say with reference to the
freighting business between Eureka
and Typo: "From Mr.. Matheson, the
af1able agent of the Eureka and Pal
isade Railroad Co., 1 learn that fifteen
teams arrive each month in Typo from
Eureka with merchandise, etc. Each
team transports on an average % 900
pounds of freight. This would give a
grand total of 5000 pounds of mer-
c~handise, machinery, etc., that is
brought to this camp every month at
a cost of three cents per pound or SILL
$50 per month that is paid for freight
alone from Eureka to Typo by our
business houses. Each of these teams
take return freight in base bullion to the
amount of So, 900 or 525 900 pounds all
together of our metallic products that
go hence to the railroad each month to
enrich the metropolis of the Pacific.
Is further comment necessary?

Another crowded house greeted the

DEDICATED TO POOR DANDY.

An admirer Of canine worth sends
his a fuking after Mr.. LeVan's late
amented Dandy. We get 500 for Civ
ng it the benefit of our circulation:
Der Dandy's grave let's shed a tear
If grave poor Dandy got
His memory has tho poets care.
The tears are briny hot.
Dandy was a little tan.
With feet. and legs and tail;
If any dared to lark with Van.
He made them quickly quail
When any one did him insult,
His frowns very very dark.
And often would for rights exult.
With n~ever-ending bark.
But biting was not Dandy's forte;
He sought 4 distant view,
And ranted Just as do old sports
When whisky makes them blua
Poor Dandy! now that o are gone.
The boys with Van can lark
Can promenade the streets and lawn,
Without poor Dandy's bark.

The tax on the net proceeds of the
mines of Storey county, for the quar-
ter ending March 21st, amounts to
S92, 900. OF this sum the Bonanza
mines pay about $50 900, which is
equivalent to $500, 900 annually. That
is a pretty jolly sum to pay for the
privilege of giving employment to u
few thousand men and infusing life
and prosperity into the commercial
and business interests Of one-third Of
the Commonwealth. As a cold propo-
sition, We would about as soon have
the tax paid by the mines of the State

General Mile, Operations.

Some hypercritical people are complain
ing that General Miles fails to kill enough
Indians in his frequent conflicts with the
hostiles. If the value of military opera
ton depended on the amount of blood
shed the critics would no doubt be justified
in thinking that too much importance has
been given to combats in which relatively
few men fell on either side. But the truth
of the matter is that the value of General
Miles operations lies not in the killing
of a hundred Indians, moro or less
but in rendering it impossible for
the hostiles to reft during the win
ter for new campaign. Were the
hostilcs allowed to rest in peace during the
winter months the spring would find them
ready and eager for a new campaign; but
thanks to the energy displayed by General
Miles, spring will probably find the band
under Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse crippled
by the fatigues and exposure of winter
cam paigp. It must be mbered that
General Miles has no cavalry at his disposal,
and is consequently unable to reap the full
fruit Of his victories. With his limited COM
mand Of infantry, however, he has man aged
to accomplish more than did tho combined
columns of Crook and Terry during the
summer. This 10 sufficient answer to all
hostile criticism.

University Racing in 1877.

Harvard and Yale, by again making their
annual contest in eights, have very effectu-
ally shut out the other New England col
leges and so done much to discourage row.
ing among them. On the other hand, the
Rowing Association Of American Colleges
has shrewdly taken step which will draw
much from the interest of the Harvard-Yale
race and centre it more than ever in the
really national event in which the majority
OF the colleges are represented. Henceforth
the Association races will be rowed by fours
BY at last adopting this plan, which for
three years has been steadily urged in these
columns, all our colleges-poor and rich--in
men or money, are able to meet on terms
more nearly equal than when six good men
had to be found, or eight. as the Connecticut
race demands. The perfection of rowing so
nearly reached in the magnificent perform
ance Of the London rowing four last season at
Philadelphia, and the superb execution of the
Yale four, which plainly outrowcd them, no
doubt did much to bring about this desira-
BILE end, and it is highly probable that six
Dared racing is already thing of the past,

ing tho meeting so near New York city
ns Greenwood Lake will be sufficient

gathered in America to witness manly
sport.
But now let one more step be taken. Be-
causc the Yale and Harvard men wanted to
be out of the association last year it does not
follow TINT they wish to remain out. From
their eights each can easily select ON excel
lent four, good substitutes will be plenty,
boats they doubtless have already, the dates
of the two races are not far apart, so that a
few days more of training would be but
trihe, and, best of all, they will have the
chance of meeting one crew which can prob
ably beat them both. Let tho invitation be
sent to them at once to come and try who
really are the best student oarsmen in
America. If their home contest on the
Connecticut proves again ms tame and one
sided an affair as it did last year, they will
be glad, while in condition for very fast
work, Of an opportunity to show concu-
sively how they compare with the best men
of their day.

A Rapid Transit Decision.

Chief Justice Curtis, Of the Superior
Court, rendered decision yesterday m the
case Of Jeremiah v. Spader against the
New York Elevated Railroad Company. The
plaintiff had sued for an injunction to re-
strain the defendants from continuing their
road across the Battery. on considerations
dug mp from ancient charters and old acts
of tho Legislature. Judge Curtis decides
against the applicant and in favor of the
right of the company to construct
their road through the Battery. The
ancient restrictions merely operate against
the erection OF private buildings or the con-
version Of that tract of land to private uses.
They are no bar to utilizing it for public
purposes, and the extension of q rapid
transit road to the South ferry is for the
manifest accommodation of the public The
present Southern terminus of the Green
wich Street Elevated road is extremely in
convenient for great portion of the people
who make use of it. The distance from the
ferries is too long to be walked over without
discomfort even in dry, pleasant weather,
and in bad weather it subjects passengers,
especially women, to needless exposure and
suffering. The extension Of the road will
take but little space from that ample pleas
ure ground, and the people dwelling in that
part of the city are not so fastidious in their
taste that they would be. very sensitive
to so slight a diminution of the
beauty of the Battery. Judge Curtis
finds that the use of the Battery
for purpose SO conducive to the general
accommodation of the public is entirely
consistent with all rights secured by the
State constitution, and that the Legislature
really possesses the power which it exer-
cised in the thirty-sixth section of the Rapid
Transit act 80 far as it authorizes the COM
pany to make a depot and ferry connection
across the Battery. Thus one by one the
legal distractions interposed by the selfish
enemies of rapid transit are in the course of
removal by enlightened judicial action.
