TO THE PUBLIC.
An Appeal From the Arrangements of
the Training school For Nurses-The
Proposed Needed Improvement.
70 the Pub1ic of New Haven.

An Appeal From the management of
the Training school For Nurses-The
Proposed Needed Improvements.
70 the Public of New Haven:
The executive committee of the Training
School for Nurses is obliged to appeal to it's
friends and patrons for assistance in adding
wing to the Nurses Home.
This building when completed two years
and half since was considered adequate to
the wants of the school for many years, but
the increase in the number of patients in the
hospital suffering from acute disease and re-
quiring special care by day and by night has
made demand for larger number of nur-
SEES and the Home has for some time been in
sufficient for their proper accommodation.
There is now no comfortable provision for
the care Of nurses who may be i'll and it not
infrequently happens that they fall by the
way in their work in the hospital or return
| from outside nursing requiring rest and per-
| haps isolation.
In maintaining this school these important
objects are accomplished In the hospital
it supplies whatever is needed of ease and
devotion to the suffering, and often dying,
occupants of its wards, who here receive all
the tender attention and unremitting effort
winch the wealthy command IN InelF own
homes.
1t meets want which has always been felt
in the community by furnishing women
trained for every class of nursing in private
families, and who can be trusted with the
most critical cases. It also prepares a large
number of young women TO earn their sup
port by a respectable and useful employment
The expense of the needed addition to the
Nurses Home with what is requisite to pre-
pare it for occupation will be about $4,000,
and it is with confidence that there are
many in the community who will feel that a
work Of this kind should be encouraged
that this appeal is made for assistance to pro-
vide the essential means for continuing it
successfully. In behalf of the executive
committee, MARY 7. PORTER,
President of Training School for Nurses.
Contributions may be sent to the presi-
dent to members of the executive commit
tee and to Mr.. Charles A. Sheldon, Second

The North Dakota Farmer,

This is the title Of new monthly Just es-
tablished at Jamestown by Chas. w, Blew,
editor and publisher. As its name implies, it
will bo devoted to tho agricultural interests of
Dakota, and if the fist number ia any criterion
Of what its future is to be, then we can hon
estly and sincerely say that it is paper that
no intelligent farmer In Dakota can afford to
de without Attempts have heretofore been
made in this section to publish papers devoted
to the farming interests Of the territory, but
they have fallen far short of what would salts
fy the demands Of the class upon whom they
rely for support and consequently have not
been profitable to their projectors nor to their
supporters. Mr.. Blew seems to understand the
wants Of the farmers Of Dakota, and the re-
suit is journal that in Its particular sphere is
the peer Of any in the whole country, as truly as
Dakota is the peer OF any Of her sisters in all
the elements that tend to make a people great
and prosperous. geographically the North
Dakota Farmer is model Of neatness, and is
printed on fine white paper. We heartily
recommend the North Dakota Farmer to such
of our readers as desire good paper devoted
to agricultural interests and wish Mr. Blew
that success that his enterprise deserves The
price OF the paper ls only 81. and these who

Commissioner sparks Again.

WASHINGTON, December 2O.-Commissioner
Sparks will issue an order Monday forbidding
homestead and pre-emption settlers from cut
ting timber OH their claims for commercial
purposes. The order Is similar 10 the recent
orders by Assistant Secretary jerks In regard
to the cutting of timber on public lands The
general land sffice holds that until patents are
issued by the president to homestead and pre-
emptien settlers they are simply tenants, and
must observe the proper limitations upon the
use they make Of the land. The commissioner
claims that in tho past large frauds have been
perpetrated upon the government by so-called
presumption and homestead settlers in valuable
timber districts where men have made entries
to cut of pine or other timber and then aban-
donGed their claims. 1t is to put stop to this
that the order has been prepared. Secretary
Lamar has approved it, and the special agents
Of the Office will be instructed at once to keep
a sharp lockout for violation Of it. The bona
fde settler is expressly permitted to cut all the
necessary fuel and to clear the land he may
want for agricultural purposes; beyond this
the order is prohibitory.

Merry Christmas,

While we denizens Of the prairies of Dakota
may net be able to decorate our halls and par
lors with holly or mistletoe, nor sit around the
yue-log fire as was wont our fathers Of old,
our Christmas will be none the less merry nor
will it be less enjoyed than that of our friends
in the East. Though some may miss the COM
panionshp and association of relatives and
friends with whom they have been wont to
meet to celebrate the festivities incident to this
season of the year, let us hope that they will
in a measure be compensated by the open
handed and generous hearted-if less esthetic-
hospitality Of the West which is certain to be
extended by these more fortunately situated.
To the young Christmas always brings antici-
pations and pleasures that brighten the eye
and make glad the heart, and let us hope that
the kind old Santa Claus will be as generous to
the little ones as lie has ever been of yore and
that there may be never an empty stocking to
bring the tear Of disappointment into the eyes
of those who place their confidence in him, To
one aud all Of our readers we wish a merry
Christmas.

Commissioner Sparks decision that until a
patent issues on government land, 1t cannot be
mortgaged nor conveyed, IL it amounts to any
thing at all, amounts to this: That pre-emp-
tions shall be for the benefit Of capital, not
labor,-the pre-empter should have when he
starts in his career as n pioneer, $3.50 in bank
to insure his Improvements, and $3.50 to pay
for his land and the expenses Of final proof,
and in the meantime, amid the unfayorable
surroundings of new country, he must live.
II Mr.. Sparks is correct, our hardy yeoman
has made terrible mistake in ever coming to
this country. It wero better for him that a
mill stone had been hanged around his neck
and he had been anchored to the bottom Of
Lake Superior, than that he beheld the earthly
paradise only to be driven out by such an un-
ccnscionablo, unmitigated danphool as the
crank ef the general land Office. Fortunately,
this ruling referred to, has not reached the
Fargo efflce, and, before 1t will have arrived,
Mr.. Sparks ears will be trimmed that he may
hearken unto the voice Of law, and of the peo-
pie clamoring for Its decent administration.

which has for It's object the official decapita-

is to hold a territorial convention, each land
district therein to be represented by delegates.
which convention will elect delegation to
proceed to Washington and there urge upon
congress legislation for the protection OF set
tiers against the cranky freaks OF Mr.. Sparks.
This delegation v i'll also be authorized to con-
vince the president that Mr.. Sparks is usurping
powers foreign to his sphere Of action in setting
aside land titles already acquired. The proba-s
bility is that Sparks will be quenched before this
delegation can get around to its assigned bus
iness, as several distinguished senators appear

ion and fully prepared to give the lamEent

COMMISSIONERS SPARKS,

We are sorry to see that some Of our ex-
changes in Dakota Of Democratic procliyities
feel called upon to defend Mr.. Sparks and the
various rulings that lie has recently made sim
ply because politically they are in SYM
pathy with him. This is all wrong, and while
We have no desire to question the sincerity and
honesty Of the commissioner in his decisions,
we do question his ability to administer the
important position which he holds. It will
not do for Mr.. Sparks or his defenders to try
to mitigate the hostility which has been en-
gendered by his ruling in the Britten case by
saying that 1t was not intended to affect set
tiers but to reach spectators, and not Intended
to apply to the past, but to the future. This Is
disproyed by the fact that the same order which
notified land Offices Of the change, gave notice
that the entry was Cancelled, thus forsing the
settler, If he desired to maintain his rights, to
appeal to the Secretary Of the Interior. As
evidence that Mr.. Sparks conclusions are ILL.,
digested and hasty, let US take the recent in
structions to special agent in which the posi-
ton is taken that all entries are fraudulent
where mortgages have been made prior to the
issuance Of patent, and contrast 1t with the
language Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States in the case of Myers vs. Croft, reported
IL, Is Wallace, where 1t is held that:
1.-THE object of congress was attained when
the pre-emptor went with clean hands to the
land Office proved up his right and paid the
government for his land. Restricting the pow
er of alienation after this weuld injure the pre-
emptor and could serve no important purpose
of public policy. tits we'll known that patents
do not issue in the usual course Of business In
the general land Office until several years after
the certificate Of entry is given, and equally
well known that nearly all the valuable lands
in the new states admitted since 184l have been
taken up under the pre-emption laws, and the
right to sell them freely exercised after the
claim was proven up, the land paid for and
the Gel tifcate Of entry received. In view Of
these facts, we cannot suppose in the absence
Of an express declaration to that effect that
congress intended to tie up these lands In the
hands Of the original owners until the govern
ment should choose to issue the patents"
Other decisions Of the supreme court have
settled tho doctrine that a patent was issued In
contemplation Of law when citizen was en-
titled to its issue, and he was so entitled when
he had paid his purchase money and had there
by effected all entry.
