WASHINGTON, June 25.-Noting that

delegate in congress, [ must refer to the
fact that l have just received letter from
the genial and popular marshal. in which
he states that he is not candidate for that
or for any other office, and that his name is
being used without authority. One of his
party friends and associates is here, and he
says that the Democrats Of both the North
and the South are almost unanimous in
their choice Of Maratta, and that he believes
the nomination will be made, anyway. He
admits that he is slightly prejudiced, be-
cause he is Maratta's friend, and would like
to see him nominated; but at the same time
AYERS that there is a strong sentiment to the
effect that Maratta is the only prominent
Democrat in the territory who has not
made hosts of factional enemies in his own
party.
'"There are other candidates. said he, ssand
they are simply targets for club-throwing.
There is Mccormack, whom we all like, but
whom many would oppose because he is one
of Days men. There is Engel, who is being
doomed by Ordway Johnson. We know he
will draw fire. There is Ziebach, the leading
Democrat of the territory. He has made
something less than 100000 enemies, by be-
ing candidate for governor. Everybody is
forninst him; although we love him. He
won't do because he will draw fire. We must
have some one who will draw friends and an

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Judge Clifford
has received letter from leading Demo-
cratic official of Nelson county, complain
ing of the rulings and doings of Commits
sioner Sparks. 1t is common-sense letter
and have been permitted to make an ex-
tract from it. The writer SAYS:
The special agent of the land office who has
been here is getting information from ire
sponsible and disreputable parties in refer
ence to the lack of compliance with the law on
the part OF settlers upon presumption claims;
and, upon the strength of that kind of infor-
nation. he is reporting the filings of honest
settlers for contests and final proofs for can
collation.. And in each of these cases, the
honest settler is to be put to the expense of
employing attorneys and securing the attend
ance OF witnesses in order to sustain his Just
rights. In each instance the expense of such
contest will average from S75 to $500. Please
get us relief in the matter.
Mr.. Clifford went to see the secretary of
the interior with the letter in question. and
had an extended private interview with
him. The gist of it all, of course, cannot
be given, for it was private and strictly con-
fidential. But, as a general statement of
the result of his effort in the matter, Dele
gate Clifford says:
Secretary Lamar is our friend He lis
honest, and believe that he would do all that
we could in justice demand or expect, but his
hands are not free to act. He did not saw
that he disagrees with Sparks. He was care
full to say nothing inimical to that gentleman
But, feel confident that we have to thank
Sparks alone for all of our trouble in the
Northwest, and that none of the blame should
attach to the secretary.

Territorial Unlikely to Receive Com
sideration To-day.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-To-morrow
will be the territorial day again in the
house, in place of June IL. It is not at all
likely that anything will be done. The
chairman of the committee, as 1 have al
ready told you, is apathetic. and takes no
interest in the affairs which concern us;
and which ought to concern him. At
least, such is the opinion which has been
formed, judging from his actions. During
the past week there has been great deal
of good work done for the Dawes bill, and
there is now probability that it may be
considered, some time next winter. The
only show for its passage by this congress
is to have day set apart, early in Deem
Der, and have it SO definitely settled that
nothing can interfere with it, at that time
and then there being no other pressing
business before the house. the bill may
pass. Promises have been made in pro-
fusion that such an assignment shall be
made by the house, tomorrow. 1t is
little thing to ask. and it is not unlikely
that the promises made will be carried out.
However. those who are interested in the
bill need not build up any exorbitant
hopes. The promises of congressman, like
the pledges Of lovers. are more often made
to be broken, than to be kept. A congress
sional bird in the hand is worth several
million in the bush. Mr.. Wellborn has
said that he will endeaver to get some of
the bills which are
STAGNATING IN HIS COMMITTEE
room, before the house tomorrow. He has
distinctly not said that he will call I'D the
Dawes BILL No man was ever more con-
servatively and automatically careful not
to promise anything than this Texas states
man is to refrain from promising anything
for Dakota. No man can say that he has
at any time shown all excessive zeal for the
welfare of the people along the Missouri
river; although the national legislature has
placed him in a position where he should
be, and is, the especial guardian of the
rights and interests of those people. He is
a shining example Of the difference between
a faithful guardian and Jealous guardian.
1t is probably better thus. Some of our
alleged statesmen are more prolific in prom
ises. and yet as apathetic in action as he.
But MI. Wellborn has never shown anv
especial interest in Dakota matters, and
therefore has the merit of being consistently
negative. There is merit in having some
merit, even if it be demerit. However. it
is hoped that he will, although not com
mitted to do so, call up the Dawes bill to-
morrow, and have something done with it,
even if it be nothing but to have day set
for next December. Nevertheless, Judging
from the past, it would be pretty safe to
give big odds that he will not mention the
matter at all.
