According to previous announcement,
Mr.. Worst's subject last Sabbath was
"tetribution." His text was sentence
from ''The Sermon ON the Mount"
BLESSED ore the mcrciful, for they shall
obtain mercy" The theory he advanced
was that every person creates an atmcs-
phere of his own, and lives in it +; il is his
world What llc IS, himself, other people
appear to be. The world is gloomy t. a
gloomy man it is selfish to a selfish
man; 1t is unkind to an unkind man.
The cruel words we speak are spoken to
ourselves; the person we try to injurc is
ourself; we reap what we SOW, whether
good or i'll. This idea is one of which it may
be profitable to think. May we not dis
cover, when tempted to find fault with
our surroundings, that the sholtcoming
is In ourselvcs-that "the world is what
we make it?''

APosltnx Of Issues.

The movement leading to joining Of
issues between South Dakota and New
Mexico in regard to seeking admission into
the Union at the same time, which has
heretofore been referred to by the FREE
Press, seems to be gaining ground, and
may yet crystallize into something tangi-
BILE. New Mexico is democratic and Da-
kota republican. By this movement it is
hoped that New Mexico can carry Dakota
through the house of representatives if
Dakota can return the compliment in the
senate. If New Mexico has the requisite
congress the FREE PRESS can see no OBJ
lection 10 her admission. Unlike Nevada.
New Mexico can never go backward, be-
cause of her varied interests and indus
tries, but will continue to grow more and
more populous as does Dakota. II Pierre

Little Room for Complaint.

There has cerainly been little room for com.
plaint in regard to drought during tbs last two
years; but, on the contrary, last years complaint
was Of too much rain.
Indeed, tho industrious farmer finds little to
complain Of here. Ifcrops are bad here one year,
they are a. bad somewhere elsethe next; ifprices
are low. they are lower elsewhere; il storms oc-
cur they are less frequent than elsewhere; II frost
visits LIS at an untimely season. other parts where
1t does more damage seldom escape.
Thus the experience Of three summers
demonstrates that there are a. many roses and az
few thorns in this part of our earth as any other
while the winters prove any thing else than the
continuous blizzard they are often represented.
Fit were not for such imaRinations as used to
people all unknown parts of the world with
goblins, Dakota would not have in all her
arabic area square mile of free land to-day.
But prejudice is strong and not till it is we'll nigh
too late to profit by IL will the crowded
population of the east hnd that the alien holds the
inheritance of the native-born.-l Burleigh Comfy

A Black Eye for Sparks,

Jamestown Alert: That arbitrary and self
assuming dignitary styled the commissioner Of
the general land office, whose surname Is Sparks,
has received a black eye from Judge Deadly, of
the federal court in Oregon. The case was one
arising under tho pre-emption laws, in which the
commissioner of the general land Office at
Washington some years ago ordered the cancela-
ton of the entry after final proof had been made
and the money paid, as Commissioner Sparks
has assumed power to do.
The court held that Certificate of purchase
entered in due form, in favor Of pre-emptor for
land subject to entry nnder the pre-emption law,
can not be cancelled set aside y the land depart.
ment for alleged fraud in obtaining it; but in such
case the government must seek redress in the
courts, where tho matter may be heard and
determined according to the law applicable to the
rights ofindividuals in like circumstances; and
second, that q purchaser in good faith and for
valuable consideration, from pre-emptor, ofthc
land included in the latters certificate of purchase
takes the same purged of fraud which might have
been committed in obtaining said certificate"
The court further says in the decision: "When
certificate of purchase has been issued to a pre-
emptor, and no appeal has been taken from the
decision or action Of the register and receiver the
land described In the certificate becomes the
property of the pre-emptor. He has the equitable
title thereto and has right to the legal one as
soon as the patent issue in due course of pro-
ceeding, and he can dispose of the same and pass
his interest therein the same as if the purchase
had been made by private person.
In support of this position the court quotes
from the United States supreme court decision IN
which Justice Mclean, in delivering the opinion
of the court, said: "When the land was purchased
and paid for it was no longer the property Of the
United States, but of the purchaser he held it for
certificate, which could no more be eanceled by
the United States than could granted patent" "
The Oregon court held that "a certificate of pur-
chase, issued in due form, in favor Of pre,emp-
tor, for land subject to entry under the pe,emp.
ton law, can not be cancelled or set aside BY the
land department for alleged fraud in obtainiLg it,
And it il further held that tthe right of q marty
holding certificate Of purchase Of public land and
that of his grantee is right in and to property oi
which neither Of them can ought to he deprived
without process Of law"

THE WILLARD ANDREWS CASE.
a MANS Crime Renders Him Insane.

Readers of the PRESS will remember the case
of Willard b. Andrews, who, while resident @,
Knox county, and in the fish business forged the
names Of parties in New York-MesSrs. Doane &
Gott-and others in Knox county and Portland, to
the tune of $1,000 and. then skipped with the
funds. This was eight years ago. Andrews, it
will be remembered also, walked into the Chicago
police station, confessed his crime and delivered
himself up Marshal Andrews of this city, who
is the prisoners uncle, telegraphed all the inter-
ested parties and they said they didn't care to
send for the prisoner. The sheriff of Knox coun-
ty says that an indictment is hanging over
Andrews in that county.
Marshal Andrews went to Chicago for his
nephew on his own responsibility. He found him
man of rs years He last saw him youth of
20 years. The prisoner is now all broken up, and
evidently insane. He thinks all the papers are
full of his case. Since he left Portland seven
years ago with $1,000 clean money in his pos.
session he has not seen single face he ever
knew in Maine. He went directly to Canada, and
cargoes to Boston, New York and Chicago. After
while he dropped the business, as it proved I'M
profitable, and went to Toronto, where he became
acquainted with man who had got a patent on
making patent -four The two got mill at a
place about one hundred miles from Toronto ana
went into the flour business In two years they
failed Then Andrews went to Chicago and
worked at his trade of painter for two years.
Then man gave him job at Hinsdale, a short
distance from Chicago, where he remained until
three days before he went back to Chicago and
gave himself up.
