WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-There is not
much fear expressed here over the evident
intention to make Land Commissioner
Sparks pathway towards confirmation as
the rocky road to Dublin. Senator Sher-
man expresses great amazement at what he
is pleased to term the audaciOus orders
of the land office. AS the orders in no
event have had any injurious effect beyond
the anxiety that their premature announce
ment caused Settlers for in every event
they were either voluntarily modified. re-
versed Oh appeal or sanctioned by Secretary
Lamar. Mr.. Sherman'S special perturbation
is unnecessary. But any measure that af
fects real estate and its mon0polization at
tracts the Ohio senator's attention. His
land holdings here in Washington are ex-
tensive. He is member of congress
Mat passes upon appropriations for the inn
| provement of his own property. He has a
nephew of the same name who is real
estate broker and tends to his uncle's spec
ulations in suburban lands. John Sher-
mans tribulations over the rights of West
ern settlers are as comcal as ''Humpty
! Dumpty" The president has testified to
his appreciation of the commissioners eff
forts to root out this land corruption. Sec
rotary Lamar recently expressed to your
correspondent his high appreciation of the
land bureaus work. 1t had been over
Jealous in some cases. but the appellate ju-
rsdiction of the secretary prevents any
| substantial damage. This overruling of
bureau heads has not been more frequent
with Gen. Sparks than with his predeces-
! SorS. The whole matter is mere office rou-
tine. The clamor is justitable only because
! the problems that he had to attack at once
were gigantic. and he went at the task with
a stump puller and not with a grubbng
hoe. Teller Of Colorado may be expected
to oppose Sparks. Tnis is strictly case of
self-defense. Ii Sherman ever could get
amazed at land rulings some of Teller's
should have turned his icy face into the
| rigidity of heather god. The local hula
balOo about Sparks is partly due to his re-
! fusal TO permit clerks to enter the building
at night to copy papers for land attorneys.
He had two well-founded objections. The
public records are as open to attorneys dur
! ing business hours as county recorders
Office is. The clerks by working extra at
night for private parties were useless next
| day in their government work. And finally
many papers were extracted. others disar-
ranged and often secret agents reports
were given out before action could be taken
in reference to the guilty parties.

NOW GOES TO CHICAGO
via the Chicago & Northwestern. The
tapping of the Central Pacific at
some convenient point in Utah would
give transcontinental route from
st. Paul to the Pacific and a
competitive tariff with the Northern Pacific
for importations. This would be very
nearly an air line from ST. Paul to the Pa
citc-a tri1e south of west.
Commerce of the north temperate zone is
on east and west parallels and the trade of
Central Dakota and the Black Hills natur-
ally belongs to St. Paul by virtue of its geo.
graphical position. The vast Northwest is
low in it's infancy of settlement and com
merce, but its limitless natural resources Of
mineral, pastoral and agricultural wealth
are too Well-known and demonstrated to
need enlargement upon. At present
they have two principal commodities to sell,
wheat and beef. Much of this is looking
now to St. Paul and Duluth for shipment
rather than to Chicago. In return the peo-
pie of this section desire several hundred
thousand tons of manufactured wares per
annum.
THE BLACK HILLS
alone consumes 40, 600 tons per annum
Will St. Paul merchants rest content and
see this vast section so naturally tributary
detour to the south? Word comes from
Central Dakota that the people between
Watertown and Pierre are willing to
grade the road free for the extension of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad. Indeed,
they can well afford to do this, as each
county pays heavy rate on wheat shipped
to an Eastern market. A competitive tariff
will give the farmers of this region fully 5
cents bushel more on their wheat which,
in the aggregate per annum, amounts to
three or four times the cost of constructing
road on level prairie from Watertown
to Pierre. The people of Pierre stand
ready with ample track and depot privi-
leges. We trust the st. Paul jobbers and
board of trade will look into this matter,
and early in the summer of 1886 extend
this road to Pierre on the Missouri river.
