AT WASHINGTON.

DakOta's Delegate at the National
Capital Talks About his Territory.
Washington, Oct. 30-Hon. O. s. Gift
ford, delegate to congress from Dakota
territory. arrived here last evening. His
home is at Canton, and he went from
Boone county, Illinois, to Dakota about
fifteen years ago. A reporter asked Mr..
Clifford this morning if the people OF
Dakota would seek admission as earnest
ly this winter as last.
We want to make state of Dakota,
was the reply, and am here to do all
can to look to that end. We have sutfi-
cient population to entitle us to edmis-
sion as state and the people of the ter.
fitory are anxious for the proposed ac-
tion by congress.
A gentleman who was sitting with MIR.
Clifford suggested that it would be a
good thing for the people of Dakota to
favor the admission of Montana along
with Dakota, as the one is republican in
politics and the other democratic.
We are in favor of the admission of
Montana, responded Mr.. Clifford. In
deed, l see no reason why Washington
territory should not also be admitted
into the union OF states, and all other
territories except Utah.
The reporter then asked:
Are your people as much ut variance
on the question of the division of Dako.
ia as they were last year?"
"Ihere will undoubtedly be number
OF klckers in Washington this winter but
| think the people are generally settling
down in the belief that state ought to
be carved out. In the division of the
territory as proposed there ls not much
difference in the number OF square miles,
and the southern portion, out of which
it is proposed to make the new state.
has the greater population"
In speaking further OF the affairs OF
Dakota, Mr.. Clifford said there was a
steady stream of population coming in,
and that the growth of towns was
healthy and on a prosperous basis; that
since the 4th of March ten national
banks lad been organized with ample
capital to render them solid. Dakota also
had more postoffices of the presidential
class than nineteen of the thirty eight
states now in the union. Speaking of
the Sioux reservation he said that there
we're 100000 acres Of fertile land in that
tract, and there were only $4,000, Indians
upon it, and these Indians were draw.
ing rations from the government. The
reservation is larger in area than some
of the larger states, and its location is
such chat railroads cannot be built
through from the east to the west, be-
cause there would be no revenue for
the roads as long as the Indians occupy
the land. The people of Dakota want
this reservation opened to settlement, OF
certainly the greater portion of it, re.
serving enough to the Indians to pro
tect their interests. It is too much land
for the Indians, who put it to no ust
whatever. Mr.. Clifford also said that be
would endeayor to have
three more judges appoint
ed for Dakota, although tn,
territory had now twice the complement
allotted territory. 1t was necessar,
to have them on account of the grea
number of criminal cases pending.

the territory of Dakota, said
shall favor the admission {

1Ao territory Ol DaROtn, sa1Q ne
shall favor the admission of
Dakota as state, but he
will never consent to have it divided
and received as two states, as proposed
by recent conventions held IN Dakota,
which propose to ask the admission oil
south Dakota and north Dakota sepa-
rately. He does NOS think the climate
and general conditions would ever war
rant the division of that territory into
two states. Que reason why he is oppos-
ed to dividing it, he says, is that We have
too many territories now. The terri
torial feature OF this government is un-
like that which obtains in any other
government, and we have too
many provisional officers appointed
by the general government, and the peo-
pie residing in those territories are OF
the most intelligent and energetic class,
and it is bitter grind for them to serve
under lot of political adventurers and
subservient tools, who are usually given
the appointments to discharge poll
tical debt. There should be no more di.
visions of states. While New Mexico is
as large as three or four states, he would
not favor division for the purpose of
gaining admission as state. In ans
wer to tie question why he so bitterly
opposed the admission of Dakota at the
last session of congress, he said he op-
posed it for political reasons. He was
frank to say that the chances OF
putting in two or three republican
electoral votes would have jeopardized
their chances for the election OF presi-
dent, and that was the sole reason he
opposed it, but that il must come in
sooner or later, and if it offered to come
in in its entirety he will favor it.
Congressman Springer is an incom-
petent Judge of Dakota's conditions and
their applicability to division
and separate statehood He reasons
from the standpoint of partisan preju.
duce, as he admits in his interview. The
Dakota fight will assume the magnitude
of national political issue before it is
ended and Mr.. Springer's confessions
will be of value when that stage of the
contest is reached. The more we can
now secure in the way of democratic ad-
missions of political bias the better it
will be for our side OF the case when the
republicans of the nation take 1t up in
earnest.

looking TO the repression OF crimes such as those
which so startled London last Saturday. The sub
Ject, nom legal standpoint, Is difficult one to
handle, particularly IN this country where liberty

stone Of cur institutions, and where our theories of
