London,s Dearth of Flowers.

London has had a strange experience this
year, says the Pail Mall Gazette, resulting
from an unusually inclement winter, a
severe spring, and rainy summer The
trees have rarely been so beautiful. Ken
sington gardens are fresher than the third
week of London June generally sees
them. But the prosperity of the foliage
been at the expense of the flowers. Never
have the laburnums and the mays shown
such fugitive blooms. They broke into
blossom fortnight later than they were
DUE and lasted but few days. They
seem to have been killed Off, not by frost or
heat, but by blight With the other flow
ers which make London gay the record has
been almost the same. There has been a
sad falling off. Here, indeed, the cause is
directly attributable to the bad winter and
the cruel spring. Fresh from the forcing
houses the flowers could not stand the wear
and tear Of London season. They have,
indeed, to bear more than the ordinary pur-
chaser wots of. The dearth of flowers has
been so great this year that the occupants
of many of the flower boxes have already
done duty at dinner parties and routs. So
they soon lose their freshness and appear
as if blghted But while our home pro-
duce has been exceptionally poor, cut flow
ers from abroad have never been in such
profusion, beauty and cheapness. It
seems strange that trade in plants should
not have arisen from the countries that sup
ply US with flowers.

Grand Forks.

GRAND FORKS, Dak., July 22.-In the
southern part of the county, in the neighbor-
hood Of Reynolds and Thompson, crops are as
good as they were last year, and the yield
will be as high if we have no rain before har-
vest. In the western part the grain is fair,
except on the sand ridges and poorly culti-
waited pieces. The northern portion will fall
short fully one-half of an ordinary crop. The
Red River valley proper will turn out as good
a crop as last year. w. E. Shepherd of Fal-
coner township has grain that will yield as
much as any time since his settlement here
five years ago. The entire country shows the
benefit of good plowing and early seeding, as
where the land has been poorly cultivated
the difference can be easily discerned. Sam
L. Bean, the bonanza farmer of Arvilla, was
in town few days and says the general crop
in his part of the county Will average twelve
or thirteen bushels per acre from present in
dications. j. B. Affair of the Chicago farm
near Thompson, was baSking In the
rays of the electric light the forepart of the
week and reports his crop fully as good as
last year. The old New York store on the
corner of Third street and Alpha avenue is
being raised and veneered. The saw mills
are drawing the building craze to this part of
town, and already this season three brick
buildings have been erected in that imme-
date vicinity. H. f. Josh, the general
agent in North Dakota and Minnesota for the
Singer Manufacturing company, has been to
Crookston for several days. dilating upon the
excellent qualities of his machine The
county commissioners didn't seem to want to
face the racket of making an appointment in
the treasurer's Office to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Thoraldson, but
prevailed on him to withdraw his resigna-
ton. Theodore Holton of Larimore candi
date Tor sheriff, was in town several days
looking after his crop. reports Lewis

News Notes of Interest to the People
of Dakota.

Judge Church appointed Charles A Stream
of New York, an old schoolmate of his, clerk
of Walworth county recently, removing r. A.
Bigham, who had held the position since the
county was organized. On very few instances
have residents of the district been selected as
clerks by the judges. Complaint is made as
to the fitness of the selections, but the people
look hopefully to a time when they will have
something to say IN such matters.
The papers in Walworth county report
some timid settlers discouraged over the
drouth and inclined to leave, fearing that it
There is said to be no record of such before,

to be as bad as reported.
Faulk county has already chosen its four

Mcconnell, secretary of the state league,
in speaking of the action of the Sioux Falls
convention, says every saloonist and railroad

In Campbell county the crops have suffered
about as badly as anywhere and will not ex-
ceed one-third of,a crop but the farmers are
not discouraged and will increase the acre

ant gray-haired gentleman, past middle

OF course prohibition will be the first, but

MARATTA,S POW ERR.
DakOta,s Marshal Has Seemingly
Large Influence With the Admin
xrro

istra tiOn.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-No Dakotian
has greater influence with the present ad-
ministration than Marshal Maratta. He
does not make parade of his influence,
but he gets there always when he wants an
appointm ent made. Mr.. Brown of Huron
came near being appointed to the Aberdeen
land Office and he would have been so APP
pointed had it not been for NIaratta. The
marshal told the administration that the
proper man for that place was Maj. Burke,
and it was so ordered He then said that
Brown ought to go to the Grand Forks Of
flee, and he will go there as soon as
congress adjourns. He interested himself
in the appointment of G. c. Frost to the
special agency for the Fargo district, and it
will be done. He was once offered the
governorship of Dakota, and declined it,
as he preferred the marshalship. He is
now interested in the appointment Of a
governor for the territory, and has named
man who will be appointed as soon as con-
greSS adjourns. Maratta declares that he
is not a candidate for any elective Office,
but that he simply wants the Office he now
holds. He says that he will be confirmed
at the next executive session of the senate.
1t is to be hoped so. He has been kept
waiting for long tine and believes that
he has been singled out for martyrdom by
a certain prominent Dakota Democrat who
has considerable influence with Republican
senators. But, since he has been here on
the ground himself, he has succeeded in
accomplishing the main object of his visit,
and expects to go back to Dakota shortly.

A FIGHT AGAINST DAY.
why Many Democrats Oppose Nc
COrmack for Delegate.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July ga prominent
Democrat from Hand county, expresses the
opinion that the Democratic convention will
SHOW up the field against Mccormack. He
says:
Day is the object of attack by all dissatfs-
fed Democrats in the territory. He has sue
ceeded in drawing more fire than all the rest
Mccormack is his man, and if he can be NOM
mated Day will be on top no matter whether
he is elected or not If he stands as the
chosen standard bearer of his party, he can
go to toWashington and dictate appointments;
and in this matter Mr.. Day would be the boss
and Mccormack would allow himself to be
used as a cats-paw. That is the plan of the
national committeeman, and it is his only
hope of retaining control of government pat
ronage. We can all see through 1t. and hence
we have decided upon running the field
against Mccormack. That gentleman cannot
be nominated and will not be.
Another gentleman recently from North
Dakota says that there is a combination be-
ING made by the friends of E. w. Miller of
Huron and the friends of Capt. Maratta,
as the result of which the man who shows
the greatest strength shall have the support
Of the other At any rate, if the two COM
bined cannot cast a controlling vote, they
Will unite upon Engel, BoyntOn OF any
Dther man with whom they can win, rather
than allow Mccormack to be nominated.
This gentleman also assures me that, al
though Mccormack is not the popular
.hoice, yet the fight is not against him so
much as it is against Day. AS the day of
convention draws nigh, the political clouds
creep nearer to the earth, and coming
events cast their shadows before. The
biggest cloud seems to settle over the home
of the statesman from Bon Homme county.
But he is a rustler, and will be there when
the storm bursts; and he will not run into a

IN GOODHUE COUNTY.
Excellent Prospects for Democratic
Success There This Fall.

Excellent Prospects for Democratic
success There This Fall.
Special to the Globe.
RED WING. July 23.-This is an odd
year in politics, it is said, and the indica-
tions all are that Goodhue county will go a
great ways to prove it. The Republicans have
generally looked to Goodhue county for aid
in time of need, and old Goodhue has re-
sponded with majority of from 1,5OO up
in favor of the straight Republican ticket.
But this year the indications point differ
emily in the county ticket, at least if not in
anything else, for there are certain won
derful signs brought forth by the Republi-
can county convention that tend to show
that the heads of all the Republican candi-
dates may not rest easy the whole time be-
tween now and the ides of November.
For auditor, the Re publicans have nomi-
mated E. Fl. Druse of this city. But there
are certain parties, if rumors from definite
sources can be relied upon, that felt pretty
sore about this nomination. In fact, it is
announced on what ought to be considered
the best of authority, that one of the de-
feated candidates for that Office will enter
the field as an independent candidate. For
treasurer, there also promises to be a hot
fight while for sheriff the Democratic NOM
inee will have walkaway. The time for
holding the Democratic county convention
has not yet been determined upon, but it
will probably not be called until after the
call for the state convention has been
issued. so that delegates to the state, con-
gressional and senatorial conventions can be
elected at the same time that the county
officers are put in nomination. For con-
gress, the Democrats will support Hon. o.
NJ. Hall, the brilliant young attorney of
this city, first, last and all time; that is if
he wishes the nomination. Whom thew
will support for governor is not yet known.
The Democrats have been greatly in the
minority here in the past, but the election
of Cleveland as president seems to have
changed the faces of considerable num-
Der, and the Democratic vote in this county
this fall will probably be one-third larger
than at any election heretofore.
