Discussion of His Relations With
Moody and Clifford.


WASHINGTON, May 21.-I have a letter
from a leading Democratic editor of Dakota
in which he expresses some opinions as
they were formed during recent visit to
this city. He talked with great many
prominent men, for he is well known. He
says:
heard both sides. / talked freely with
these men. My conclusions deduced there
from were that division by this congress was
impossible: that the Dawes bill would go
through if it did not partake of politics; that
feeling existed against Day because of his
training with Moody, Clifford and Republic
cans. I modified my luminosity against Boyn-
con, Ordway and Inman. i concluded that
more could be gained for Dakota Democracy
by treating these people fairly. l talked with
Mccormack and Goodrich. They as well as
myself and Maratta were coerced into division
support by a club over their heads. 1 am a
warm supporter of Wilson, Mccarthy, Ma
rata, Ward and some others. They have in
times past worked for me. and will take
pleasure in doing the same for them.
The charge made that Day has been
training with Moody and Clifford is not alb
solutely true. 1 have seen Mr.. Day in
friendly intercourse with the gentlemen
named, but that does not signify that he
trains with them politically. He certainly
has been socially intimate with them. and it
has not been greatly TO his credit politically,
but he is, as believe, thorough Demo-
crat. and could not be miSled by either of
those gentlemen. He is shrewder than Gift
ford and fully the equal of Moody. 1t is
the opinion of your correspondent that Day
had been using those Republicans for his
own and his party'S welfare.

To the Editor of the Globe.
BELMONT. Oak, May 20.-.Ailtf ough not
a subscriber to the GLOBE, take the lib
erty to write you, believing your paper is
not run in the interest of any particular
corporation or community, and that you are
free to publish in your columns any COM
munication which may be of interest to
Dakota and the people of the Nor Invest.
Some weeks ago the Pioneer Press made a
statement regarding freight rates on grain
from Northern Minnesota, showing the
cheapness of transportation on the ldani-
toba compared with other roads east q st.
Paul. The statement was. as usual with
the Pioneer, evidently intended as puff
for the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manit oba
company. At the time I replied to the
article, asking how they could figure the
average rates so low; also to give rat es
from different points here which they ha d
omitted to quote. For them to have done
this would have shown their first statement
to be entirely false. Consequently, no re-
ply was given. although l have been, a.
subscriber to the daily | Phone er
for nearly ten years. While the
Pioneer pretends to take a grea
interest in the farmers and gent ral pros
perity of the Northwest, readers of their
paper can plainly see its chief aim is to up
hold and defend the Manitoba Railroad
company. 1t matters not who gets skinned
SO long as Mr.. j. j. Hill gets the hide.
Occasionally some other company proposes
to extend their road into the Reel River
valley, but as soon as their plans are men
toned out comes the Pioneer with ia double
barreIed editorial denOuncing their mans
and pointing out imaginary difficulties. and
by every means endeavoring to discourage
and annihilate the scheme That the bust
ness men and farmers of this country are
Systematically robbed every time they ship
pound of freight over the Manitoba is a
fact known by every settler in the valley.
will give you an instance of my own ex-
perience. A few days ago had box of
goods shipped from Chicago over the Chi
cagO, Milwaukee & st. Paul. The freight
to st. Paul was 25 cents; from st. Paul to
this place, which is 100 miles; shorter, the
freight over the Manitoba was $2.16, OF
nearly nine times the Chicasso rate. On
heavy goods, such as oil and naolasses. the
freight from st. Paul here, fifty miles north
of Fargo, on the Red river, costs as much
as the goods, the freight on 10 barrel of
kerosene oil being S. and on barrel of
molasses of about fifty gallons S5.25.
1t is evident that our only hope for
cheaper rates lies in the extending of some
of the other lines such as the Chicago,
Milwaukee &c st. Paul, and L venture to
say the business men and farmers of the
Northwest would give this road their en-
tire patronage for ten years even if their
rates were triple their existing present
rates. MERCHANT.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The probabili-

Liability OF Insurance Companies,
The Springer Bill.


The Springer Bill.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, Oak, May 21.-During the past
three days much CONSERVATION has been
manifest among the farmers ila this locality
by the discovery that unlimit ed liability is
assumed by members of mutual insurance
companies. Several companies have lately
secured large memberships on the
promise of low rates. the apple ants not
realizing their liability. The law of
1885, is very explicit concerning this mat
ter, and the only company in Sout h Dakota
to which this liability does not attach, is
the Dakota Mutual of this city. 1t seems
odd that so large business could be done
as has been the case, without this discovery
having been made earlier.
There is no limit to the indigr ,ation ex-
pressed concerning the news fro m Wash

house committee on territories to the effect
that the senate bill for the adm lission of

On the opposite shore you see the sleepy little

over the bluffs toward the west is the old
Black Hills trail, and perhaps a train of
freight wagons moving along like

from shore to shore, carrying passengers and
